  • 'Quilled on the Cann': Alexander Hart, Scottish Cabinet Maker, Radical
    ‘QUILLED ON THE CANN’ ALEXANDER HART, SCOTTISH CABINET MAKER, RADICAL AND CONVICT John Hawkins A British Government at war with Revolutionary and Republican France was fully aware of the dangers of civil unrest amongst the working classes in Scotland for Thomas Paine’s Republican tract The Rights of Man was widely read by a particularly literate artisan class. The convict settlement at Botany Bay had already been the recipient of three ‘Scottish martyrs’, the Reverend Thomas Palmer, William Skirving and Thomas Muir, tried in 1793 for seeking an independent Scottish republic or democracy, thereby forcing the Scottish Radical movement underground. The onset of the Industrial Revolution, and the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars placed the Scottish weavers, the so called ‘aristocrats’ of labour, in a difficult position for as demand for cloth slumped their wages plummeted. As a result, the year 1819 saw a series of Radical protest meetings in west and central Scotland, where many thousands obeyed the order for a general strike, the first incidence of mass industrial action in Britain. The British Government employed spies to infiltrate these organisations, and British troops were aware of a Radical armed uprising under Andrew Hardie, a Glasgow weaver, who led a group of twenty five Radicals armed with pikes in the direction of the Carron ironworks, in the hope of gaining converts and more powerful weapons. They were joined at Condorrat by another group under John Baird, also a weaver, only to be intercepted at Bonnemuir, where after a fight twenty one Radicals were arrested and imprisoned in Stirling Castle.

    lllawarra Historical Soc1ety June 41 REMINISCENCES OF FORTY TWO YEARS RESIDENCE IN ILLAWARRA by Charles Throsby Smith (1) (With Notes by Michael Organ) (1) [Charles Throsby Smith (1798-1876) initially arrived in New South Wales in April 1816 and assisted his uncle, Charles Throsby senior, in moving his cattle to lllawarra, along with exploring the area around Lake George. During 1818 he sailed to England on business, however he returned to Sydney in November 1819 and after marrying Sarah Broughton in October 1822 decided to settle at Wollongong, on his property called Bustle Farm, near where his uncle's stockman had erected a hut in 1815.] (Being the substance of a lecture delivered in the Hall of the School of Arts, Wollongong, by C. T. Smith Esq. J.P., the President of the Institution, during 1863)(2) (2) [This article is based upon an undated and typed transcript of the lecture, currently part of the Wollongong City library collection. The actual date of this lecture has not yet been determined, however it can be dated at 1863 from internal evidence. The substance of the lecture was later published in the /1/awarra Mercury of Tuesday, 3 October 1876, with some minor addition, and the document presented herein is an amalgamation of both 1863 and 1876 versions.] "In the years 1814 and 1815, the County of Cumberland and the neighborhood of the Hawkesbury were the only parts of the colony in which any improvements had been made. The soil in the neighborhood of the Hawkesbury being good, some of the land was cleared and cultivated, and although subject to be inundated during wet seasons, the settlers continued to reap fine crops; but their proceedings are foreign to my subject.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree Master of Creative Arts - Research from University of Wollongong by Sarah Willard Gray B.C.A. (Hons) School of Art and Design Faculty of Creative Arts 2008 2 Synopsis In this study I will examine the following question: how is my painting informed by a layered sense of place through a political engagement with the environment? During this research consideration was given to the origins, techniques and structures of my creative work that was underpinned by the artistic theories and processes I used while painting the landscape of the Hoskins Nature Reserve and the Bong Bong Common. These areas are situated midway between Bowral and Moss Vale on the Southern Highlands of New South Wales and are approximately 120 kms from the first penal colony established at Port Jackson in 1788. In my thesis I describe the historical background of the protected land and wildlife corridor, Hoskins Nature Reserve, which is managed by N.S.W. Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Bong Bong Common early settlement owned by the Wingecarribee Shire Council.

Condemmed at Chester Assises on 21 August 1793 to a life sentence Joseph arrived per Ganges on 2 June 1797. The indents of the Ganges state that he was 24 and had come from Hulk P. So, by deduction, he was born 1773 and, presumably had been incarcerated in a hulk for four years. On board the Ganges with him were 1) a George Wild who, together with one Henry Grindley, had been tried with Joseph at Chester: they all received a life sentence. 2) a John Wild, 27, with a seven year sentence received at Lancaster Quarter Sessions on 27 January 1794. 3) Henry Wild, a convict tried at the Old Bailey Session 9 January 1793. 4) & 5) Elizabeth and daughter, also Elizabeth, both of whom came free. 6) A Mary Wild, who came free. No documentary evidence as to the crimes of these convicts or to the relationship between them (apart from John. wife and child) has been found.

  • Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve Plan of Management
    CECIL HOSKINS NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service May 1999 A plan of management for Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve was adopted by the Minister for the Environment, Pam Allan, on 4th October 1998. Amendments to the plan were adopted by the Minister for the Environment, Bob Debus, in May 1999. Acknowledgements: This Plan of Management was prepared by staff of the Nowra District and Field Services Division of the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assistance of the Sydney Water Board, Wingecarribee Shire Council, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Southern Highlands Historic Society in provision of a considerable amount of information is gratefully acknowledged. Crown Copyright 1999: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgement ISBN 0 7310 7676 1 FOREWORD Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve is located in the Southern Highlands of NSW on the banks of the Wingecarribee River. It lies between the towns of Bowral and Moss Vale and has an area of 47 ha. Almost half the area of the reserve is comprised of a lagoon formed by the backed up waters of the Bong Bong Weir. Consequently the reserve is an important habitat for native bird species and in particular wetland birds. The reserve is historically interesting as a portion of the land granted to Dr. Charles Throsby, a member of the first official exploration party in the Southern Highlands, and because of its proximity to the first European village in the Southern Highlands. The reserve contains important stands of Paddys River box Eucalyptus macartharii and snow gum E. pauciflora and a range of other native species.

  • Wingecarribee,Etc Exploration
    EXPLORATION BETWEEN the Wingecarribee, Shoalhaven, Macquarie and Murrumbidgee Rivers ____________ By R. H. CAMBAGE, F.L.S. Read before the Royal Australian Historical Society, July 26, 1921. ____________ Prior to the year 1818 little exploratory work had been done beyond the Wingecarribee River, or what is now the Moss Vale District. In 1798 Wilson and Barracks passed through this locality and went as far as Towrang*. In 1814 Hamilton Hume and his brother John Kennedy Hume explored the Wingecarribee district, and this resulted in the starting of settlement there in about 1817 or 1818 by Dr. Charles Throsby, formerly a ship's surgeon, who arrived in Sydney on June 13, 1802, and whose nephew, Charles Throsby, was the ancestor of the present day Throsby families. Hamilton Hume visited the locality in 1815†, and in August, 1817, he accompanied Dr. Throsby, who extended his explorations to the westward of what is now Sutton Forest, and on a few miles past the Cross Roads towards the Wollondilly River. John Rowley and Joseph Wild were also of the party. Throsby refers to the country around Sutton Forest as Cooloorigan. Surveyor Meehan calls it Kellourakan. * Exploration beyond the Upper Nepean in 1798,’’ by R. H. Cambage. Journ. and Proc. Roy. Aust. Hist.
