  • “It Was Chiefly by Our Intimacy with the Natives That We
    ‘“It was chiefly by our intimacy with the natives that we succeeded in getting so many new birds”: Travelling Knowledges, Indigenous/European Encounters, and Colonial Science: Case Studies from Australia and Aotearoa in the wake of Cook’ Dr Michael Davis Honorary Research Fellow, Department of Sociology and Social Policy The University of Sydney [email protected] Continuing a long line of imperial scientific collecting voyages in the wake of James Cook, in 1850 John MacGillivray, naturalist on the British survey ship HMS Rattlesnake, which travelled to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea during 1846-1850, wrote to the ornithologist John Gould, ‘It was chiefly by our intimacy with the natives that we succeeded in getting so many new birds’. Only a few years earlier, on his many botanical collecting expeditions into the interior of New Zealand’s North Island, William Colenso, like MacGillivray, also acknowledged the role of local Indigenous knowledge. In one journey in December 1842, Colenso observed that ‘in the houses of the natives at this place a quantity of a thick succulent species of Fucus hung up to dry which they informed me was used as an article of food’. Colenso had a reflective sensibility, engaging Cook’s 1769 voyage as a point of reference for his own botanising. He wrote in December 1841, while in Tokomaru Bay, that this was ‘a spot which by the Naturalist will ever be contemplated with the most pleasant association of feeling, for here it was that Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Solander first botanized in October 1769. This bay was called Tegadoo by Cook’/ In this paper I interrogate writings from these two mid-19th century natural history collectors – one coastal voyager, the other predominantly inland explorer - to contemplate the complex entanglements between local Indigenous, and intruding Western, scientific knowledge systems in the decades following Cook and Banks, and inquire into the ways these knowledges melded together in situated encounters in time and place, to result in new knowledge formations.

  • 473 EARLY DAYS of MARYBOROUGH [By Mr. FIRMIN Mckinnon] (Read by Him Before the Historical Society of Queens- Land at a Meeting O
    473 EARLY DAYS OF MARYBOROUGH [By Mr. FIRMIN McKINNON] (Read by him before the Historical Society of Queens­ land at a meeting on May 22nd, 1947) (Maryborough held its Centenary Commemoration in June 1947) Maryborough, a pretty and prosperous city, 167 miles north of Brisbane, is celebrating its centenary this year. The Centennial Show will be held in the first week in June, and at the same time the "Ball of the Century" is to be held. Other festivities will be held later in the year. As many members of the Historical Society know more about modern Maryborough than I do I shall confine my remarks to the "early days," pro­ mising not to stun you with figures or to daze you with official details. When I was in Maryborough recently I found there was serious disagreement about the date of the cen­ tenary, some persons contending that the celebration should have been held three or four years earlier, whUe others argued that it should be delayed for fourteen years, thus marking 100 years since the town was in­ corporated in 1861. Pursuing the appeasement policy, I explained to disputants (apparently much to their satisfaction) that it was exceedingly difficult to agree that some particular event marked the starting point of a town, and I quoted Roma which held its centenary a year ago, marking the discovery of Mount Abundance by Sir Thomas MitcheU on May 8th, 1846, whereas Mount Abundance leasehold was not actually taken up by Alan MacPherson tiU a year later; and the town was not surveyed until 1862 when it was named m honour of the wife of Queensland's first Governor.

    City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record Name Mueller Park Address 150 Roberts Road Subiaco Lot Number 9337 Photograph (2014) Construction 1900 Date Architectural N/A Style Historical Reserve 9337, gazetted in 1904, comprises three distinct areas: Mueller Notes Park, a well-established urban park laid out in 1906-07 and the 1920s, with mature tree plantings, and recent playgrounds; Kitchener Park, a grassed area used for car parking with a small number of mature trees; Subiaco Oval, more recently named Patersons Stadium, a football oval with associated facilities and spectator stands, and Subiaco Oval Gates (Register of Heritage Places, RHP 5478). In the Documentary Evidence the name that pertained at each period is used. An early plan of Subiaco shows Subiaco and Mueller Roads (the latter named in honour of Ferdinand Jakob Heinrich von Mueller (1825-1896), inaugural director of Melbourne Botanic Gardens (1857-73), and Australia’s pre-eminent botanist) with the part of Reserve 591A that later became Mueller Park. During the 1890s gold boom, lack of May 2021 Page 1 City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record accommodation in the metropolitan area for people heading to the goldfields saw many camping out, raising sanitary concerns. In 1896, men at ‘Subiaco Commonage’ (as the area of Perth Commonage, Reserve 591A, west of Thomas Street, was commonly known) protested against a notice to quit the area and unsuccessfully asked for it to be declared a camping ground. Perth City Council cleared a large number of tents from the area on numerous occasions. In July 1897, the Subiaco Council asked Perth Council to continue Townshend and Hamilton Roads through the Commonage to Subiaco Road, and both these roads and Coghlan Road were made by the early 1900s.

This has been what I call a Melbourne winter – frequent rainfalls which have left the ground sodden and difficult to work. I’ve been trying to get a bobcat in to do some cleaning up for months and have to keep cancelling the bookings. The paddocks are saturated and dams are overflowing. This all bodes well for an excellent spring. As soon as the weather warms up our plants will jump out of the ground with vigour. The Solstice luncheon in June was very pleasurable. John and Barbara have consolidated their gardens and built up new beds ready for a spring planting. A soft carpet of sawdust creates a pathway between the beds allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of an amazing number of species of plants including many unusual ones being trialled. The garden has grown very large over the years and we spent quite a bit of time meandering through the collection. Lunch was delicious as usual and we all had some fun with a game of ‘Pass the Parcel’ which introduced us to a few personal secrets. The Presentation Dinner in Glen Innes for Jean Mott was a wonderful affair. About 32 people attended and the Crofters Cottage proved to be a perfect venue. Graeme Ingall presented Jean with her badge and some native flowers brought up from the Central Coast and he and Penelope Sinclair gave some excellent speeches about Jean’s great contribution to promoting native plants in the Glen Innes district over the years.

    Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History that Refl ects National Trends DOUG BENSON Honorary Research Associate, National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Published on 10 April 2019 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Benson, D. (2019). Two centuries of botanical exploration along the Botanists Way, northern Blue Mountains,N.S.W: a regional botanical history that refl ects national trends. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 141, 1-24. The Botanists Way is a promotional concept developed by the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah for interpretation displays associated with the adjacent Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA). It is based on 19th century botanical exploration of areas between Kurrajong and Bell, northwest of Sydney, generally associated with Bells Line of Road, and focussed particularly on the botanists George Caley and Allan Cunningham and their connections with Mt Tomah. Based on a broader assessment of the area’s botanical history, the concept is here expanded to cover the route from Richmond to Lithgow (about 80 km) including both Bells Line of Road and Chifl ey Road, and extending north to the Newnes Plateau. The historical attraction of botanists and collectors to the area is explored chronologically from 1804 up to the present, and themes suitable for visitor education are recognised. Though the Botanists Way is focused on a relatively limited geographic area, the general sequence of scientifi c activities described - initial exploratory collecting; 19th century Gentlemen Naturalists (and lady illustrators); learned societies and publications; 20th century publicly-supported research institutions and the beginnings of ecology, and since the 1960s, professional conservation research and management - were also happening nationally elsewhere.

S. Emara 1 and A. Emad Shalaby 2* 1Department of Agricultural Botany, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt, 12613. 2Department of Agricultural Biochemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt, 12613. Accepted 30 April, 2011 This experiment was conducted during the four seasons: Spring, summer, autumn and winter of two successive annual cycles; 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 (starting from May 2008). Four Eucalyptus species were under investigation; Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus cinerea F. Muell. ex Bentham, Eucalyptus citriodora Hook. and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Seasonal variations in the amount of fixed and volatile oils in Eucalyptus spp. matured leaves were investigated. It was determined that the amount of total lipids and essential oils significantly varied by the seasons (P < 0.01). The amount of total lipids in Eucalyptus spp. reached its peak mostly in spring. But the amounts of essential oils in different species were determined to be higher in summer, autumn and spring seasons, than in winter. Furthermore, the amount of total lipids and essential oils was higher in E. camaldulensis and E. cinerea than in other species. The anatomical investigation in the four studied Eucalyptus species, in relation to lipids percentage indicated that, the best lipids percentage amounts in this study were exhibited in E. cinerea and E. camaldulensis, for spring and winter; and were in agreement with these species highest lamina thickness.

ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Aboriginal Camps and “Villages” in Southeast Queensland Tim O’Rourke University of Queensland In the early nineteenth century, European accounts of Southeast Queensland occasionally refer to larger Aboriginal camps as “villages”. Predominantly in coastal locations, the reported clusters of well-thatched domical structures had the appearance of permanent settlements. Elsewhere in the early contact period, and across geographically diverse regions of the continent, Aboriginal camps with certain morphological and architectural characteristics were labelled “villages” by European explorers and settlers. In the Encyclopaedia of Australian Architecture, Paul Memmott’s entry on Aboriginal architecture includes a description of semi- permanent camps under the subheading “Village architecture.” This paper analyses the relatively sparse archival records of nineteenth century Aboriginal camps and settlement patterns along the coastal edge of Southeast Queensland. These data are compared with the settlement patterns of Aboriginal groups in northeastern Queensland, also characterized by semi-sedentary campsites, but where later and different contact histories yield a more comprehensive picture of the built environment.

Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium and sobole, all referring to belowground bud-bearing structures, are used inconsistently in the literature. Key words: bud bank, fire-prone ecosystems, Because soil efficiently insulates meristems from the heat of fire, concealing buds below ground lignotuber, resprouting, rhizome, xylopodium. provides fitness benefits in fire-prone ecosystems. Thus, in these ecosystems, there is a remarkable diversity of bud-bearing structures. There are at least six locations where belowground buds are stored: roots, root crown, rhizomes, woody burls, fleshy
