  • Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA
    arts Article Cultural Tourism: Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA Marie Geissler Faculty of Law Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia; [email protected] Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 28 April 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: This paper explores how the appeal of the imagery of the Arnhem Land bark painting and its powerful connection to land provided critical, though subtle messaging, during the post-war Australian government’s tourism promotions in the USA. Keywords: Aboriginal art; bark painting; Smithsonian; Baldwin Spencer; Tony Tuckson; Charles Mountford; ANTA To post-war tourist audiences in the USA, the imagery of Australian Aboriginal culture and, within this, the Arnhem Land bark painting was a subtle but persistent current in tourism promotions, which established the identity and destination appeal of Australia. This paper investigates how the Australian Government attempted to increase American tourism in Australia during the post-war period, until the early 1970s, by drawing on the appeal of the Aboriginal art imagery. This is set against a background that explores the political agendas "of the nation, with regards to developing tourism policies and its geopolitical interests with regards to the region, and its alliance with the US. One thread of this paper will review how Aboriginal art was used in Australian tourist designs, which were applied to the items used to market Australia in the US. Another will explore the early history of developing an Aboriginal art industry, which was based on the Arnhem Land bark painting, and this will set a context for understanding the medium and its deep interconnectedness to the land.

  • Thesis Title
    Creating a Scene: The Role of Artists’ Groups in the Development of Brisbane’s Art World 1940-1970 Judith Rhylle Hamilton Bachelor of Arts (Hons) University of Queensland Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts) Melbourne State College A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of English, Media Studies and Art History ii Abstract This study offers an analysis of Brisbane‘s art world through the lens of artists‘ groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists‘ groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane‘s art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine‘ and ‗provincial‘ nature of Brisbane‘s art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city‘s main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the Royal Queensland Art Society, the Half Dozen Group of Artists, the Younger Artists‘ Group, Miya Studios, St Mary‘s Studio, and the Contemporary Art Society Queensland Branch provided critical forms of institutional support for artists. Brisbane‘s art world began to take shape in 1887 when the Queensland Art Society was founded, and in 1940, as the Royal Queensland Art Society, it was still providing guidance for a small art world struggling to define itself within the wider network of Australian art.

  • 22. South Canberra Hydrogeological Landscape
    22. South Canberra Hydrogeological Landscape Tuggeranong, Kambah, Wanniassa, Theodore, Greenway Woden, Weston, Farrer, Isaacs, Low Moderate LOCALITIES Land Salt Load Duffy, Lyons, Curtin, Fisher Salinity (in-stream) Fyshwick, Kingston, Capital Hill, Yarralumla, Red Hill Low EC MAP SHEET Canberra 1:100 000 (in-stream) CONFIDENCE LEVEL Moderate OVERVIEW The South Canberra Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) extends from the southern shoreline of Lake Burley Griffin to the southern edge of Tuggeranong, and from the Lower Molonglo Valley in the northwest to the Symonston HGL boundary on the east (Figure 1). The HGL covers an area of 146 km2 and receives 600 to 750 mm of rain per annum. Figure 1: South Canberra HGL distribution map. South Canberra HGL is characterised by sub-catchment based landscapes in Woden, Tuggeranong and around Capital Hill (Figure 2). Generally the ridgelines are heavily vegetated (Wanniassa Hills, Mt Taylor, Farrer Ridge Nature Reserves, Red Hill, Isaacs Ridge and Mt Stromlo) with little urban encroachment. The upper slope elements are cliff- forming in some areas and heavily vegetated with native forest and commercial forestry in some locations. The catchments are highly urbanised and there is rapid urban development in the north- western Weston Creek and Lower Molonglo Valley areas. Considerable areas of bare earth are in the urban development stage with massive earthworks and infrastructure installation. Appropriate sediment and erosion control works is necessary through this development stage. A feature of all landscapes is the waterways, concrete lined drainage channels and lakes constructed to handle large storm-water flows. These drainage reserves in the lower landscape are relatively wide and add to the green space of the area.

  • Public Transport in the Federal Capital Territory in the 1920S & 1930S
    Public Transport in the Federal Capital Territory in the 1920s & 1930s. Construction work on the city of Canberra began in earnest in 1913. The nearest town was Queanbeyan and from 1916 a Co-operative Store was in operation near the Kingston Railway Station. The rail line between Queanbeyan and Canberra opened in 1914 and from this time some passenger travel for workmen was available. However the majority of people if they wished to visit the shopping centre at Queanbeyan had the choice of shank's pony (walking), push bike, horse & sulky, horse, or motorized vehicle. One enterprising man at Duntroon hired out horse and sulkies and Mrs Marion Stanley of the Engineers Mess in 1919 availed herself of this mode of transport. Her young daughter Cecilia walked across on Friday afternoons to Duntroon from the Mess (near the Power House in Kingston), picked up the horse and buggy and drove home. On the following Sunday repeated the process in reverse order. Anyone wanting to catch the train to Melbourne had to organise transport across to Yass and those wanting to go to Sydney had to join the train at Queanbeyan. The train journey between Queanbeyan and Canberra required another engine to be used and this practice continued as late as the 1950s and 1960s. The wait for another engine often added a few hours to the journey. A number of taxi owner drivers in the 1920s and 1930s advertised their services for runs to Yass and Queanbeyan Railway Stations. From 1921 some transport was supplied to a few officials and foremen but the majority still had to find their own way to and from work or shopping.

  • Investigating Interchange Traffic and Commercial Development at Rural Interstate Highway Exits
    Investigating Interchange Traffic and Commercial Development at Rural Interstate Highway Exits A thesis presented to the faculty of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Shah Mahmood August 2016 © 2016 Shah Mahmood. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Investigating Interchange Traffic and Commercial Development at Rural Interstate Highway Exits by SHAH MAHMOOD has been approved for the Department of Civil Engineering and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology by Benjamin R. Sperry Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology 3 ABSTRACT MAHMOOD, SHAH., M.S., August 2016, Civil Engineering Investigating Interchange Traffic and Commercial Development at Rural Interstate Highway Exits Director of Thesis: Benjamin R. Sperry This thesis investigates interchange traffic and commercial development at 69 rural interstate highway exits in Ohio. According to the literature, the following factors influence commercial development growth at rural and small-town Interstate exits: motels, hotels, restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores, truck stops or truck parking lots, geography, access to firmer markets, traffic volume of the intersecting highway, intersecting highway types, site competition, and other developments. This study examined those factors which influence traffic volume at the interchange exit such as gas stations and convenience stores, fast food restaurants, hotels and motels, distance to the nearest rural city and town, distance to the nearest and furthest interchange, and intersecting highway. The geographic information system (GIS) is used to identify 69 Interstate exits and local trade area characteristics along Interstate 70 and Interstate 75 in Ohio.
