  • The Prehistory of Aboriginal Landuse on the Upper Flinders River
    THE PREHISTORY OF ABORIGINAL LANDUSE ON THE UPPER FLINDWS RIVER, NORTH QUEENSLAND HIGHLANDS H. J. MORWOOD Archaeology b Palaeoan tbropology The Unf versf ty of Mew England INTRODUCTION A general theme in Australian prehistory is the development of the distinctive social, economic and technological systems observed in recent Aboriginal societies. Research has demonstrated significant change in the Australian archaeological sequence and general trends of such are shared by numerous regions. Most that have been investigated indicate low density occupation during the Pleistocene and early Holocene with significant increases in site numbers, increased artefact discard rates and dissemination of new technologies and artefact types in mid-to-late Holocene times (e.g. Lourandos 1985). On the other hand, each region has a unique prehistory, range of material evidence and research potential. Our knowledge of Holocene developments in Aboriginal subsistence systems, for instance, is largely based upon the history of cycad exploitation in the Central Queensland Highlands (Beaton 1982), the appearance of seed grindstones in arid and semi- arid zones (Smith 1986) and evidence for increased emphasis on small- bodied animals in N.E. New South Wales and S.E. Queensland (McBryde 1977:233; Morwood 1987:347). The North Queensland Highlands have their own unique contribution to make concerning of Aboriginal Holocene adaptation. Partly this derives from location; the region is a largely unknown, lying in an intermediate position between S.E. Cape York Peninsula (Rosenfeld et a1 1981), the Central Queensland Highlands (Morwood 1981, 1984a), the Gulf country of N.W. Queensland (Hiscock 1984) and the Townsville area (e.g. Brayshaw 1977; Campbell 1982).

  • Daniel Ortlepp 4 Pages
    Objection 26 Daniel Ortlepp 4 pages 2020-21 Western Australian redistribution – objection to redistribution proposal Att: WA Redistribution Secretariat Australian Electoral Commission Locked Bag 4007 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Submitted electronically 16 April 2021 Dear Commissioners, Objection to redistribution proposal – names of proposed Divisions of Moore and Pearce I write to propose that the Federal division names Moore and Pearce be retired, and that new names commemorating significant Indigenous figures be given to these Divisions. Historical context Since the abolition of the Division of Kalgoorlie in the 2008 redistribution, no Western Australian division has been named for an Indigenous person or word. While I welcome the Commission’s proposal to acknowledge Sadie Canning MBE in the name of the Division of Canning, this change only raises the proportion of Western Australian divisions named for an Indigenous person or word to 1 in 15, or 6.7%. This is well below the current national figure of 15.2%. In its history, Western Australia has only had two divisions named for an Indigenous word, the geographic names of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie (now both retired). No Western Australian division has ever been named for an Indigenous person. As only 19 names have ever been used for Western Australian divisions, it is clear that the current pace of change cannot be relied upon to provide acknowledgement, in the Federal electoral system, of Western Australia’s past and present Indigeneity. Recent precedent exists for retiring a divisional name in order to honour a neglected historical figure, as when the Tasmanian Division of Denison was renamed the Division of Clark in that state’s 2019 redistribution.
