  • Encounters Between Italian Migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away Is Home
    Flinders University Languages Group Online Review Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2016 ISSN 1446–9219 Land, Culture and New Ways of Belonging: Encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away is Home. La storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, Australia/Italy, 2012) Matteo Dutto Monash University ABSTRACT Stories of encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians have rarely been portrayed in film and documentary form by either Italian or Australian filmmakers, reflecting a lack of interest that is not incidental but, as I propose in this paper, can be better understood as constitutive to how migrants’ sense of belonging and identity is negotiated in contemporary Australia. To do so, I consider Far Away is Home. La Storia di Clely, a 2012 short documentary by Italian filmmaker Diego Cenetiempo that retells the story of Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, a Triestine Italian migrant who, after moving to Galiwin’ku on Elcho Island, married Warramiri leader and artist Terry Yumbulul and now identifies herself as part Triestine and part Indigenous. Drawing on theories of diasporic and multicultural filmmaking and on scholarship on whiteness, migration and identity studies within the Australian context, this paper argues that Far Away is Home reframes Clely’s story of migration to Australia as an encounter with Warramiri country and culture, thus proposing alternative and decolonizing modes of belonging and identity. INTRODUCTION The true Clely, my true self, is the one that thinks both in Triestine and in Aboriginal language and lives those two parallel lives. – Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, Far Away is Home: La Storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, 2012 – my translation) 1 Black and white pictures and footage of migrant ships entering the ports of Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney constitute an enduring reminder of the history of early Italian migration to Australia.

  • Journal of a Voyage Around Arnhem Land in 1875
    JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE AROUND ARNHEM LAND IN 1875 C.C. Macknight The journal published here describes a voyage from Palmerston (Darwin) to Blue Mud Bay on the western shore of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and back again, undertaken between September and December 1875. In itself, the expedition is of only passing interest, but the journal is worth publishing for its many references to Aborigines, and especially for the picture that emerges of the results of contact with Macassan trepangers along this extensive stretch of coast. Better than any other early source, it illustrates the highly variable conditions of communication and conflict between the several groups of people in the area. Some Aborigines were accustomed to travelling and working with Macassans and, as the author notes towards the end of his account, Aboriginal culture and society were extensively influenced by this contact. He also comments on situations of conflict.1 Relations with Europeans and other Aborigines were similarly complicated and uncertain, as appears in several instances. Nineteenth century accounts of the eastern parts of Arnhem Land, in particular, are few enough anyway to give another value. Flinders in 1802-03 had confirmed the general indications of the coast available from earlier Dutch voyages and provided a chart of sufficient accuracy for general navigation, but his contact with Aborigines was relatively slight and rather unhappy. Phillip Parker King continued Flinders' charting westwards from about Elcho Island in 1818-19. The three early British settlements, Fort Dundas on Melville Island (1824-29), Fort Wellington in Raffles Bay (1827-29) and Victoria in Port Essington (1838-49), were all in locations surveyed by King and neither the settlement garrisons nor the several hydrographic expeditions that called had any contact with eastern Arnhem Land, except indirectly by way of the Macassans.

  • 7 Names and Naming: Speaking Forms Into Place
    7 NAMES AND NAMING: SPEAKING FORMS INTO PLACE Franca Tamisari In 1946 Donald Thomson (1946: 157) noted that 'very little has been recorded of the derivation and use of personal names among the Australian Aborigines'. Despite the significance that Australian Indigenous people in general give to the meaning and use of proper names of people and places and to the action of naming in cosmogonic events, with some exceptions this neglect continues today.l Thomson explains this dearth of research by the secrecy and the sacredness of proper names and toponyms which derive from their ancestral associations and by the rules of avoiding names in everyday life. However, like Keith Basso (1988: 103), I am inclined to suggest that this neglect is the reflection of the prevailing preoccupation of anthropologists and linguists with the semantico-referential meanings and functions of names and language rather than with the culturally shared notions and images all names evoke, provoke and embody in the creative dialogue that people establish and continuously renew with counily. As Heidegger argues for language (197la:192-l93): in order to explore the meaning and significance of Yolngu' names it is necessary to explain them more comprehensively than considering them as simple expressions of internal feelings and thoughts, as mere representations of reality, as vehicles by which people communicate, address each other, or in Levistraussian tenus, as a means by which people classify the world and order themselves within it (see Levi-Strauss 1966:161-190). If with Heidegger I suggest that 'language speaks' beyond expression and representation, my concern in this paper is to ethnographically explore what Yolngu names speak of, that is, what culturally shared images and notions they reveal while saying very little (Basso 1988:103).

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.
