  • How the Macquarie Island Parakeet Became Extinct
    42 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, VOL. 2. 1979 HOW THE MACQUARIE ISLAND PARAKEET BECAME EXTINCT R.H.TAYLOR Ecology Division, DSIR. Private Bag, Nelson SUMMARY: For 70 years following the discovery of Macquarie Island in 1810 the endemic parakeet Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae erythrotis remained plentiful, despite the introduction of cats (Felis catus) and other predators. The crucial factor in the bird's rapid disappearance between 1881 and 1890 appears to have been the successful liberation of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in 1879. This led to great increases of feral cats and introduced wekas (Gallirallus australis) and presumably to greatly intensified predation on parakeets. INTRODUCTION their oil began in the 1870s and continued until 1918 When subantarctic Macquarie Island (54∞ 30'S, (Cumpston, 1968). As early as 1815 it was reported that there were 159∞E) was discovered in 1810 it had an endemic parakeet, Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae erythrotis. "innumerable wild dogs" on the island, which were causing great destruction to the bird life. Belling- Little has been recorded of the bird's habits but it hausen in 1820 found both feral dogs and cats was widespread and abundant, nesting in and under established. There is no record of feral dogs after tussocks on the tree-less island (Cumpston, 1968). 1820, and presumably they died out from starvation These parakeets were particularly common around when sealing became sporadic and when easily the shore, where they fed on invertebrates from obtainable winter food in the form of surface-nesting heaps of seaweed. For 70 years after discovery, albatrosses had been destroyed. However, most parakeets remained plentiful on the island, but after sealing parties continued to bring trained dogs to 1880 they disappeared very rapidly and were extinct the island to hunt birds for food (Cumpston, 1968).

  • Deal Island an Historical Overview
    Introduction. In June 1840 the Port Officer of Hobart Captain W. Moriarty wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Franklin suggesting that lighthouses should be erected in Bass Strait. On February 3rd. 1841 Sir John Franklin wrote to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales seeking his co-operation. Government House, Van Diemen’s Land. 3rd. February 1841 My Dear Sir George. ………………….This matter has occupied much of my attention since my arrival in the Colony, and recent ocurances in Bass Strait have given increased importance to the subject, within the four years of my residence here, two large barques have been entirely wrecked there, a third stranded a brig lost with all her crew, besides two or three colonial schooners, whose passengers and crew shared the same fate, not to mention the recent loss of the Clonmell steamer, the prevalence of strong winds, the uncertainty of either the set or force of the currents, the number of small rocks, islets and shoals, which though they appear on the chart, have but been imperfectly surveyed, combine to render Bass Strait under any circumstances an anxious passage for seamen to enter. The Legislative Council, Votes and Proceedings between 1841 – 42 had much correspondence on the viability of erecting lighthouses in Bass Strait including Deal Island. In 1846 construction of the lightstation began on Deal Island with the lighthouse completed in February 1848. The first keeper William Baudinet, his wife and seven children arriving on the island in March 1848. From 1816 to 1961 about 18 recorded shipwrecks have occurred in the vicinity of Deal Island, with the Bulli (1877) and the Karitane (1921) the most well known of these shipwrecks.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.
