  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1

    Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1

    ‘Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s1 Toby Martin Tourists visiting Queensland’s Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried ‘pick a back’ by a ‘native’ onto a ‘palm-shaded’ beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corroborees, war dances and spear-throwing. They were also shown the efforts of the island’s administration: schools full of happy children, hospitals brimming with bonny babies, brass band performances and neat, tree-fringed streets with European- style gardens. Before being piggy-backed to their launches, the tourist could purchase authentic souvenirs, such as boomerangs and shields. As the ship pulled away from paradise, tourists could gaze back and reflect on this model Aboriginal settlement, its impressive ‘native displays’, its ‘efficient management’ and the ‘noble work’ of its staff and missionaries.2 By the early 1920s, the Palm Island Aboriginal reserve had become a major Queensland tourist destination. It offered tourists – particularly those from the southern states or from overseas – a chance to see Aboriginal people and culture as part of a comfortable day trip. Travellers to and around Australia had taken a keen interest in Aboriginal culture and its artefacts since Captain Cook commented on the ‘rage for curiosities amongst his crew’.3 From the 1880s, missions such as Lake Tyers in Victoria’s Gippsland region had attracted 1 This research was undertaken with the generous support of the State Library of NSW David Scott Mitchell Fellowship, and the ‘Touring the Past: History and Tourism in Australia 1850-2010’ ARC grant, with Richard White.
  • The Genesis of Thea Astley's the Multiple Effects of Rainshadow

    The Genesis of Thea Astley's the Multiple Effects of Rainshadow

    The Genesis of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow CHERYL TAYLOR JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY My purpose in this essay, which extends a project commenced a decade ago (Taylor 2009), is to analyse the sources of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow, including but going beyond the list provided in the author’s ‘Acknowledgments.’ In truth, Astley’s achievement in Multiple Effects as in her other fiction far surpasses the sum of contributions that she derived from earlier writings. The mostly forgotten books that she lists as ‘[i]mpulses’ and her bequest to the Fryer Library of her newspaper sources and hand-written notes suggest that she may have welcomed a study of this novel’s genesis. The essay begins with an overview of the place of Multiple Effects in Astley’s oeuvre and the literary and political contexts for Astley’s increasing engagement with the history of Aboriginal dispossession. It then turns in detail to the novel itself and offers an excavation of the sources that inform its historical narrative. In doing this I hope to demonstrate something about Astley’s creative process: the extent and detail of her research, the ways in which her novel creatively reworks this archive, and some of the effects of that on the kind of history that Astley tells. Following the publication in 1994 of Coda, intended as the title indicates to be Astley’s last novel, the Keating Labor government awarded her a five-year Creative Fellowship of $325,000. Thus encouraged, after ‘one year of musing and two years of writing’ (Sayer 18) at Cambewarra on the NSW south coast, Astley published Multiple Effects in August 1996.

  • Didgeridoo Notation

    Didgeridoo Notation

    DIDGERIDOO NOTATION MARKOS KOUMOULAS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2018 © MARKOS KOUMOULAS, 2018 Abstract The didgeridoo is a unique musical instrument considered to be one of the world’s oldest instruments. It plays an integral part in Australian Aboriginal history, spirituality, rituals and ceremonies. Didgeridoo playing is solely based on oral tradition with varying techniques and interpretations among Aboriginal communities. For non-Aboriginal musicians and composers, the didgeridoo lacks the status of a “serious” instrument and is often viewed as a novelty instrument. This may be why there is a lack of didgeridoo notation and its misrepresentation in the western notation world. This paper presents a “Didgeridoo Notation Lexicon” which will allow non-didgeridoo composers to understand a readable legend and incorporate the didgeridoo into their compositions. The need for didgeridoo notation will be discussed and analyzed in comparison to previous notation attempts of composers and musicologists such as Sean O’Boyle, Liza Lim, Harold Kacanek and Wulfin Lieske. In the past, the inclusion of the didgeridoo in orchestral contexts has predominately been focussed on its associated Aboriginal imagery regarding dreamtime and spirituality. Conversely, my original composition fully integrates the didgeridoo within the orchestra as an equal instrument, not a focal point to advance a particular theme. I travelled to Cairns, Australia to interview world-renowned didgeridoo player, David Hudson. Hudson’s insight, experience and knowledge of the Aboriginal community supported the creation of a Didgeridoo Notation Lexicon.
  • Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland

    Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland

    Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland: Ronald “Tonky” Logan a Case Study Abstract The ‘Cultural Atlas’ proposed by the PIP (People, Identity, Place) research cluster at James Cook University aims to contextualize cultural communities and artists in North Queensland into a comprehensive profile. Case study Ronald “Tonky” Logan is a North Queensland Aboriginal Country Western musician. The secondary theme of this article is the appropriation of Country Western music by Australian Aboriginal groups as traditional music. This article draws on research by Dunbar-Hall & Gibson (2004), who demonstrate the relevance of contemporary music within Australian Aboriginal contexts, based on location and geography, as a means of establishing people, identity and place. Dr. David Salisbury James Cook University School of Creative Arts Digital Sound Introduction In 2005 the PIP (People, Identity, and Place) research cluster of James Cook University held an annual seminar during which the concept of initiating a Cultural Atlas was proposed. In March 2006 a PIP Cultural Atlas meeting was held and basic concepts were proposed including some preliminary boundaries of latitude 18, south to Bowen and Hayman Island, west to Mt. Isa and north covering the Gulf region (the Torres Strait Islands are not included). Possible outputs could be a Website as a primary means to maintain a collection of data and resources for tourism, focusing on eco and cultural-tourism CD’s and DVD’s. Initially this article aims to establish the context in which the subject of this case study, Ronald ‘Tonky’ Logan, performs and lives by outlining a brief history of Aboriginality in North Queensland along with a brief history of Aboriginal music in the region.

    FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2020 - WEBINAR PANELISTS ‘EQUALITY AND EQUITY’ MARIA MABO My name is Maria Mabo, I am a proud Meriam woman of the Piadram tribe. Through my maternal and paternal grandmothers, I have connections to the Kurtijar people of the Gulf and Manbarra people of Palm Island. I have worked in a youth drug and alcohol service for 9 years across various roles which involved working with vulnerable young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people who have experienced difficulties with alcohol and other drugs. My time working in the community sector ignited my passion for social justice and human rights. In 2017 I was nominated to be involved in my organisation’s development of their first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). I felt privileged to be a part of a process that could bring positive change to the organisation and the young people we work with. This process also established my passion and commitment for reconciliation: I am now chairing the RAP working group responsible for developing our organisation’s next RAP.
