ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.

  • The Papalagi
    CHAPTER THREE The Papalagi Contributors: Malama Meleisea Penelope Schoeffel Meleisea Isalei Va 'ai Gatoloai Peseta S. Sio Sofara Aveau Salale Salale I'iga Suafole Tanuvasa Tavale Explorers from Europe in the Eighteenth Century There are hundreds of legends and genealogies which record contact and intermarriage between Samoans, Tongans and Fijians. These are supported by historical records from the eighteenth century, before Samoans had established regular contacts with Europeans. For example, Sanalala, an ancestor of Salamasina, was a son of the then Tui Tonga's daughter. There were many other important, chiefly descend-ants of Tui Tonga; the mother of Salamasina was Vaetoifaga, who married the Tui Tonga. This Tui Tonga also married Taupoimasina, the daughter of Muli'agatele Lefono of Amoa. Another legend tells of Leutogitupa'itea, the daughter of Lafailapaitagato from Pouliafata in the village of Vaisala, who married Tui Tonga Niutamatou. Their son, known as To'osega or Fa'asega, brought the ao title, Tonumaipe'a, to Samoa. To this day there is a place called Neiafu in Western Savai'i and a place of the same name on the island ofVava'u in Tonga. Another descendant of Tui Tonga in Samoa was Le'aumoana, whose mother Maupenei was the daughter of La'ulunofovaleane. She married Tui Tonga Puipuifatu, the son of Tui Tonga Vakafuhu, whose wives, Popoai and Taufaito'o, were from the family of Leali'ifanovalevale of Samoa. Malietoa 41 Taufapapa was another Samoan chief descended from Tui Tonga. His mother, Silepea, was descended from Mata'afa of Faleata and Malietoa Sagagaimuli. She married Tui Tonga Takalaua.

  • MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION in BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1941-1965 by Dennis J
    MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1941-1965 by Dennis J. Duffy Present-day film production in British Columbia has attracted a lot of attention. Local filmmaking is not a new phenomenon, however, but the continuation of an activity which has gone on in the province since the early part of this century. The west coast has had an eventful filmmaking heritage -- perhaps more so than any other English-speaking region in Canada. This heritage has been largely ignored until recent years, when the revitalization of the Canadian film industry has sparked interest in our new cinema and in its historical precedents. The early development of filmmaking in British Columbia took place largely in isolation from the rest of Canada. Cameramen first came to film the province for the sake of its novel and photogenic landscapes, and to promote immigration and tourism.1 The first incursion of Hollywood film crews, in the 1920s, was also drawn primarily by the varied scenery available for outdoor adventure pictures. In the 1930s, they set up a branch plant here and made features of dubious quality, taking advantage of Canada's membership in the British Empire to exploit the British quota restriction on imported films. Meanwhile, domestic film production developed separately, usually growing from existing photographic or advertising concerns. British Columbia's first locally- based commercial cinematographer was A.D. "Cowboy" Kean, who got his start in movies filming the Vancouver Exhibition and the departure of troops for Europe during Copyright © 1986 by Dennis J. Duffy. This essay originally appeared in Camera West: British Columbia on Film, 1941-1965 (Victoria: Provincial Archives of British Columbia, 1986).

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT JOHN B. GRAHAM Papers, 1842-1926 Reels M373-76 Miss M.L. Graham 25 Park Close Ilchester Place London W14 National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1962 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES John Benjamin Graham (1813-1876) grew up in Sheffield and moved to London in 1832, where he was apprenticed to an upholsterer. In 1839 he emigrated to Adelaide, with £40 of his own savings and £250 worth of goods to sell for his employer. He worked as a publican and then became a shopkeeper and ironmonger in Hindley Street. When rich copper ore was discovered in 1845 at Burra, in the mid-north of South Australia, Graham mortgaged his business and invested heavily in the South Australian Mining Association. The Association purchased the northern half of the Burra Creek Special Survey and for the next fifteen years its Burra Burra Mine was to be the richest minerals mine in Australia. As the largest shareholder in the company, Graham quickly became wealthy, his dividends totalling as much as £16,000 per annum. He built a large house north of Adelaide which he named Prospect House (‘Graham’s Castle’). In 1848 Graham sailed to England on what was intended to be a short business trip. In the following year, however, he married Louisa Rymill, on condition that they lived in England. Graham remained a director of the South Australian Mining Association and he invested in other South Australian companies, such as the Adelaide Land and Gold Company. He made a short visit to South Australia in 1858.

  • Ecologies of the Beachcomber in Colonial Australian Literature
    Ecologies of the Beachcomber in Colonial Australian Literature RACHAEL WEAVER University of Melbourne In his 1964 article ‘Beachcombers and Castaways,’ the well-known British anthropologist H E Maude writes ‘probably we would all know a beachcomber if we were to see one, yet he is hard to define as a type.’ He describes the OED definition—‘a settler on the islands of the Pacific, living by pearl-fishing, etc., and often by less reputable means’—as ‘reasonably accurate,’ before giving a detailed history of those figures who had ‘voluntarily or perforce’ become integrated into the Indigenous communities of the South Sea Islands from the 1780s to the 1850s (255). 1 Many beachcombers were escaped convicts or deserting sailors seeking freedom from hardship by retreating to places popularly conceived as natural paradises. These days, however, Maude’s account of the beachcomber as part castaway, part vagabond is no longer quite so familiar. Beachcombing has become associated with scanning the shoreline to collect shipwrecked objects or natural specimens washed up by the sea. It is accompanied by a variety of environmental investments including expertise in tidal patterns, species identification, conservation, and an intimacy with the coastal landscape described by Rachel Carson, in The Edge of the Sea (1955), as a deep ‘fascination born of inner-meaning and significance’ (xiii). This article explores the beachcomber’s changing relationships to island settings and their local species in stories and memoirs by the colonial Australian author Louis Becke, as well as in later non-fiction works by writer and naturalist E J Banfield. It suggests that Banfield’s 1908 book, The Confessions of a Beachcomber, marks a self-conscious transformation of this figure from tropical-island fugitive to ecological recluse.
