  • "AUSTRALIA and HER NAVIGATORS" [By the President, COMMANDER NORMAN S
    78 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS "AUSTRALIA AND HER NAVIGATORS" [By the President, COMMANDER NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 September 1970.) Joseph Conrad in his writings, refers to "The mysteriously born traditions of seacraft, command, and unity in an occu­ pation in which men's lives depend on each other." Still true today, how much more was this so with the mariners of long ago, who sailed in smaU ships for thousands of lonely leagues through unknown seas, for on them alone rested the safety of the ship and all on board. Dr. Johnson wrote "No man will be a saUor who has con­ trivance to get himself into jaU, for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned." There was more than an element of truth in this, for the seaman who refused to sail could be clapped in jail; whUst THE PRESIDENT, COMMANDER NORMAN S PIXLEY 79 those who did sail faced months in a confined space with acute discomfort, severe punishment at times, and provisions and water which deteriorated as the voyage proceeded. Scurvy kiUed more than storm and shipwreck until James Cook in his first voyage proved that it could be prevented. Clothing was rarely changed, the sailor coming wet to his hammock from his watch on deck in bad weather. Rats and cockroaches lived and thrived amongst the pro­ visions, adding to the problems of hygiene and health.

  • ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY of QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Arthur
    41 ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XIV, No.l May 1990 Arthur Hodgson The Centaur Who Left His Sheep by J.CH. Gill (All Rights Reserved) Read at a meeting of the Society on 27 Julyl989 Arthur Hodgson was the first born of the Rev. Edward Hodgson's third marriage. Edward Hodgson's first wife had died after childbirth in 1809 and though the child survived it lived for eight months only. His second wife died in similar circumstances in 1813, but this time the child, Edward Franks, survived. His third wife, whom he married in 1815, was Charlotte Pemberton of Trumpington, Cambridge and in addition to Arthur she produced five other sons and three daughters. Arthur was born at Rickmansworth vicarage on 29 June 1818 and was to enjoy a long and rewarding life although marred by tragedy in his final years.' Sent to Eton as an oppidan in 1828 he passed into college in 1830. At the age of 15 he entered the Royal Navy as a Volunteer first class and reported for duty on 21 March 1834. His first posting was to HMS Canopus which proceeded to the Mediterranean station for a three year tour of duty. On 1 February 1836 he was promoted to midshipman. Canopus returned to England in February 1837, was decommissioned and her crew paid off. Hodgson then left the Royal Navy to go up to Cambridge University.^ He was admitted as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on 11 May 1837. After matriculating at Michaelmas 1837 Hodgson remained at Cambridge for four terms and then went down without graduating in 1838.^ Mr.

Durithunga – Growing, nurturing, challenging and supporting urban Indigenous leadership in education i Language Weaves As highlighted in the following thesis, there are a number of key words and phrases that are typographically different from the rest of the thesis writing. Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

  • INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 Am): I Would Like to Begin by Acknowledging the First Nation People on Whose Land We Meet: the Turrbal People
    Speech By Robert Skelton MEMBER FOR NICKLIN Record of Proceedings, 1 December 2020 INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 am): I would like to begin by acknowledging the First Nation people on whose land we meet: the Turrbal people. I also acknowledge the Kabi Kabi people, whose land I am honoured to speak of in this place, and I pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I was born an Army brat and spent my early life travelling around the country with my family and sister Cassandra as my father, Robert, served. My mother, Yvonne, also imbued in me a sense of duty and honour, so in 1995 after finishing school in Townsville I joined the Navy so that I, too, could serve my country. My naval career saw me serve as a boatswain’s mate on HMAS Swan, HMAS Canberra and HMAS Ipswich. I later had an educational posting at the gunnery range at HMAS Cerberus. In 2002 I transferred to RAAF Base Amberley to train as an aviation firefighter. I then served at RAAF Base Tindal. My time in the services taught me the importance of comradeship, teamwork, improvisation and a love of, and duty to, country. During this time my wife, Rachel, and I had a young family. I have three beautiful children: Brandt, Delaney and Jamison. All three were born thousands of kilometres apart in Cairns, Frankston and Katherine respectively. I also had the good fortune of adopting Ray and Sandra Hubbard and John and Julie Aldous as parents somewhere along the way.

You are free to import material from outside the course, but this is not necessary and may detract you and teammates from the task. Don't go overboard! Instructions Step 1: Read the case study introduction, background information, and the primary sources below. Step 2: Work with your team to answer the challenge question for this case study. Step 3: Go to the Assignment Lab to post your response, and to read and comment on other learners' submissions. Track B, Case study 4: Charles Darwin and a new understanding of life STEP 1 Case Study Introduction Here we will focus on some of the contributions and impacts of British naturalist Charles Darwin, whose ideas profoundly shaped not only science, but every sphere of life. Darwin’s descriptions of change over time and evolution showed that life developed through increasing complexity and diversity over millions of years. This raised questions about the basis of knowledge, belief, and understanding, and challenged the idea that faith alone could lead to enlightenment. It also showed the web of interrelated life, with humans a part of the animal kingdom rather than divinely appointed.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • Traditional Law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints [2005] ANZLH E-Journal Traditional law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855 LIBBY CONNORS* On the morning of 5 January 1855 when the British settlers of Moreton Bay publicly executed the Dalla-Djindubari man, Dundalli, they made sure that every member of the Brisbane town police was on duty alongside a detachment of native police under their British officer, Lieutenant Irving. Dundalli had been kept in chains and in solitary for the seven months of his confinement in Brisbane Gaol. Clearly the British, including the judge who condemned him, Sir Roger Therry, were in awe of him. The authorities insisted that these precautions were necessary because they feared escape or rescue by his people, a large number of whom had gathered in the scrub opposite the gaol to witness the hanging. Of the ten public executions in Brisbane between 1839 and 1859, including six of Indigenous men, none had excited this much interest from both the European and Indigenous communities.1 British satisfaction over Dundalli’s death is all the more puzzling when the evidence concerning his involvement in the murders for which he was condemned is examined. Dundalli was accused of the murders of Mary Shannon and her employer the pastoralist Andrew Gregor in October 1846, the sawyer William Waller in September 1847 and wounding with intent the lay missionary John Hausmann in 1845. In the first two cases the only witnesses were Mary Shannon’s five year old daughter and a “half- caste” boy living with Gregor whose age was uncertain but described as about ten or eleven years old.

  • Cinnamomum Camphora) in Eastern Australia Brett J
    Chapter 14—Australia’s Ever-changing Forests VI: Proceedings of the Eighth National Conference on Australian Forest History. Brett J. Stubbs et al. (ed.). © 2012, ISBN 978-0-9757906-2-5 Saviour to Scourge: a history of the introduction and spread of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) in eastern Australia Brett J. Stubbs School of Environmental Science and Management, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW 2480 Introduction The 50th year commemorative book of Wyrallah Road Public School, in Lismore, New South Wales, records the lopping of camphor trees bordering the school grounds as a ‘milestone’ for 1999. In similar spirit, at Bexhill Public School near Lismore, on World Forestry Day, 26 March 2004, children were told about the need to remove camphor trees and replace them with native species. Palmwoods State School received a Queensland Arbor Day Award in 2005 for the removal from its grounds of an old camphor tree and the transformation of the stump into an artistic wood carving. It is highly incongruous that trees planted in school yards many years before to provide shade and shelter for children, and to beautify their environment, are now being destroyed, not because they are old and unsafe or have grown inconveniently big, but because of a prevailing attitude akin to revulsion which has developed towards the species. The foregoing are just a few examples of the present-day quest for the elimination of camphor trees from the landscape—a quest which is pursued with as much zeal and vigour in parts of eastern Australia as that to reinstate the region’s lost rainforest.
