After six turbulent years, the disCovery of two large deposits of copper at Kapunda (1843/1844) and Burra (1844/1845) renewed the Colony’s eConomic prospeCts. Over the 1845-1850 period, SA supplied 8-9 perCent of the world’s Copper production. Immigration to SA from Britain soared, with the colony’s population more than tripling between 1844 and 1851. We augment the Beine et al. (2015) model of an eConomy with a booming resource seCtor to inCorporate endogenous immigration, and use its comparative statics to frame our empiriCal investigation of the boom’s effects on the export of other traded goods and worker living standards. Using newly developed SA wage and priCe series for this period, we find modest increases in SA living standards, inCreases in the export of wool and wheat, and a larger share of the labor forCe working in the non-traded goods seCtor. Finally, we conclude that the decision by Governor Grey to forCe broad ownership of the “monster” Burra mine and the use of rents from the booming seCtor to subsidize immigration helped SA avoid the Corruption and rent-seeking assoCiated with other resourCe booms.

  • The Uniqueness of the Blackwords Resource: Memoir of an Indexer
    The Uniqueness of the BlackWords Resource: Memoir of an Indexer IRENE HOWE AustLit, University of Queensland Since its launch in 2007 BlackWords has enjoyed strong Indigenous leadership and a dedicated Indigenous team, allowing Indigenous storytellers, academics and researchers to determine its look, content, and scope. The BlackWords team of researchers and indexers is a community consisting of individuals from across institutions such as the University of Queensland, the University of Western Australia, Flinders University, the University of Sydney, the University of Wollongong and AIATSIS, each of whom has brought their own expertise and specialist interest to the database (BlackWords; Holt; Kilner 62). In a sense, Indigenous control of BlackWords falls within the context of the traditional Aboriginal kinship system. BlackWords has had many mothers, fathers, aunties, uncles, sisters, brothers, cousins and non-Indigenous members, who have nurtured it from its early establishment. Within this relationship, they represent the national team consisting of national coordinators and research assistants. This extended family are those people who are members and/or descendants of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island groups and communities as distant as Western Australia and the Torres Straits Islands. The non-Indigenous, or those with no blood relations, come in the form of the cross-cultural connection between BlackWords and AustLit. For example, Joan Keating, a Senior Researcher and Content Editor from AustLit, gave valuable help to the BlackWords team. From its establishment in 2006, she contributed her knowledge, guidance, training and skills, providing information on bibliographic protocols, and indexing procedures. Kerry Kilner, in her role as Director of AustLit, has also been instrumental in the establishment and continued development of BlackWords.

  • [T]He Poet Would Define the Amount of the Unknown Awakening in His Time in the Universal Soul
    [T]he poet would define the amount of the unknown awakening in his time in the universal soul.... Poetry.. .will be in advance. Arthur Rimbaud. (Tijverything in the world exists to end in a book. The qualities required in this work - most certainly genius - frighten me as one of those devoid of them: not to stop there, and granted that the volume requires no signatory, what is it? - the hymn of the connexions between all things, harmony, and joy, entrusted with seeing divinely because the bond, limpid at will, has no expression except in the parallelism of leaves of a book before his glance. Stephane Mallarme [rjt's a faith in what used to be called in old Victorian novels 'the Divine Mystery.' I can't find a better word for it, because it is a mystery to me. All I know is that it pours down love.. .[and] I worship that with my uttermost being. Bruce Beaver 2 Introduction For critics of recent contemporary Australian poetry, the term 'New Poetry' sug• gests primarily the work of those poets published in John Tranter's 1979 anthology, The New Australian Poetry.1 According to Tranter these twenty-four poets, only two of whom are women, formed a 'loose group'2 of writers associated with various poetry readings, little magazines and small presses in Sydney and Melbourne during the late sixties and seventies.3 Although there were many little magazines and small presses associated with the period, and earlier anthologies which had gathered together achievements of the New Poets,4 to a significant extent Tranter's anthology has circumscribed for critics the boundaries of the New Poetry group, and those poets published in the anthology have attracted a measure of critical acclaim.
