These paintings were studied in an effort to obtain an insight into the pre-contact social-cultural astronomy of the Aboriginal people of Australia who have lived on the Australian continent for over 40 000 years.

  • Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA
    arts Article Cultural Tourism: Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA Marie Geissler Faculty of Law Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia; [email protected] Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 28 April 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: This paper explores how the appeal of the imagery of the Arnhem Land bark painting and its powerful connection to land provided critical, though subtle messaging, during the post-war Australian government’s tourism promotions in the USA. Keywords: Aboriginal art; bark painting; Smithsonian; Baldwin Spencer; Tony Tuckson; Charles Mountford; ANTA To post-war tourist audiences in the USA, the imagery of Australian Aboriginal culture and, within this, the Arnhem Land bark painting was a subtle but persistent current in tourism promotions, which established the identity and destination appeal of Australia. This paper investigates how the Australian Government attempted to increase American tourism in Australia during the post-war period, until the early 1970s, by drawing on the appeal of the Aboriginal art imagery. This is set against a background that explores the political agendas "of the nation, with regards to developing tourism policies and its geopolitical interests with regards to the region, and its alliance with the US. One thread of this paper will review how Aboriginal art was used in Australian tourist designs, which were applied to the items used to market Australia in the US. Another will explore the early history of developing an Aboriginal art industry, which was based on the Arnhem Land bark painting, and this will set a context for understanding the medium and its deep interconnectedness to the land.

  • KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, and CONSERVATION in ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S a CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman
    3 KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, AND CONSERVATION IN ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S A CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman On Tuesday 20 May 2014 I was escorting two philanthropists to rock art galleries at Dukaladjarranj on the edge of the Arnhem Land escarpment. I was there in a corporate capacity, as a direc- tor of the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust, seeking to raise funds to assist the Djelk and Warddeken Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) in their work tackling the conservation challenges of maintain- ing the environmental and cultural values of 20,000 square kilometres of western Arnhem Land. We were flying low in a Robinson R44 helicopter over the Tomkinson River flood plains – Bulkay – wetlands renowned for their biodiversity. The experienced pilot, nicknamed ‘Batman’, flew very low, pointing out to my guests herds of wild buffalo and their highly visible criss-cross tracks etched in the landscape. He remarked over the intercom: ‘This is supposed to be an IPA but those feral buffalo are trashing this country, they should be eliminated, shot out like up at Warddeken’. His remarks were hardly helpful to me, but he had a point that I could not easily challenge mid-air; buffalo damage in an iconic wetland within an IPA looked bad. Later I tried to explain to the guests in a quieter setting that this was precisely why the Djelk Rangers needed the extra philanthropic support that the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust was seeking to raise. * * * 3093 Unstable Relations.indd 54 5/10/2016 5:40 PM Kuninjku People, Buffalo, and Conservation in Arnhem Land This opening vignette highlights a contradiction that I want to explore from a variety of perspectives in this chapter – abundant populations of environmentally destructive wild buffalo roam widely in an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) declared for its natural and cultural values of global significance, according to International Union for the Conservation of Nature criteria.

  • Munggurrawuy Yunupingu
    Men Hunting with Rifles, c. 1959-62 1993.0004.068 Munggurraway Yunupingu (1907-79) Yolngu language group, Gumatj clan, Yirrkala, Arnhem Land Eucalyptus bark with natural ochres In this eucalyptus bark painting, two men with rifles are depicted hunting wild emus in Arnhem Land in northern Australia. At the top of the piece is a watering hole and an emu eating berries (livistona Australis), known locally as “emu food.” In the background the artist has painted clan patterns of diamonds and crossing lines. Using yellow, red, black, and white ochres, this painting is most likely about Macassans and their influence on Aboriginal culture in Arnhem Land. The main subjects are colored with yellow ochre, while all of the pigments are used for the clan patterns which cover the background. In the height and rise of Aboriginal art in Arnhem Land, Dr. Stuart Scougall and Tony Tuckson commissioned bark paintings from 1959-62 in Yirrkala. The clan designs in this painting are consistent with the Yolngu Gumatj people and the use of eucalyptus bark supports the idea that it is from Yirrkala. It’s likely that this work was purchased by Geoffrey Spence from the mission at Yirrkala at the time of the commissions. It’s unknown whether Spence purchased this work from the artist directly, from the Yirrkala mission, or from Scougall and Tuckson. We do know that Edward Ruhe purchased this work from Geoffrey Spence. Upon examination of this work, it is suspected that the artist is Munggurraway Yunupingu (1907-79) of the Gumatj clan. Born and raised in Yirrkala, Munggurraway was a prominent painter of his time.

  • DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 3890 It Seems
    DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 It seems to be an extraordinary coincidence that the oil and gas reserves are between the two countries. I think that tells us we need to work things out together, not compete for it. How can we mutually benefit from this great resource? Do not forget that if we work this out well between East Timor and northern Australia— those reserves extend further into Indonesia. Indonesia is in need of energy just as we are. The three of us could work it out. There are opportunities for the Northern Territory to position itself well to provide support across the line so we can all benefit from this and open up. If we do that and cooperate, we could all end up in a far better position. There is much to be gained if we work together on this. I am happy to report to members who have an interest in this. I will have further meetings with government tomorrow to see how we progress this. I would like to see more detail about how the Arafura Games could be used to add some greater definition to this particular project, because this project of building a stronger commercial case for better aviation services in the region will be supported if we have a strong focus on the trilateral. Canberra will note it if we are proactive in this. Jakarta will recognise it as well. We need Jakarta and we need Canberra, and the way to do that is to show that we are finding creative ways to work together whether it is through education, the Chamber of Commerce in Eastern Indonesia, or seeking advice of the Australia Indonesia Business Council.

  • Howard Morphy Cross-Cultural Categories Yolngu Science and Local Discourses Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, the Australian National University
    Howard Morphy Cross-cultural categories Yolngu science and local discourses Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, The Australian National University In Yolngu science we learn through observation. For example we observe the seasons and we see the changes in time. We watch the land and see changes in the weather patterns. In space we observe the sun and the morning star. The different stars and the moon tell us different things. Yolngu have been learning about how to read science though the moon. We've learnt to observe different cycles of the moon. It tells us when it's a good time for hunting. In different seasons different food items are ready to be eaten, like different plants. Yolngu don't just hunt for everything at once, but they go according to the different seasons. There are four seasons and Yolngu hunt according to these different seasons. Then each food source is found in abundance at the right time. We read the calendar to know for example when to go and get oysters, it also tells us when different fish is in season and when edible fruit and honey is available. Also Yolngu sing about these different seasons. They sing about the different stars. They observe and see and learn. For generations and generations people have passed on this knowledge orally. It has never been written down. It has been orally passed down to the next generation through oral history; songs, chants and stories. (Raymattja Marika, Yolngu teacher and linguist) The transformation of concepts such as science, law, or religion into cross-cultural categories has occurred in the context of discourse across cultural boundaries.
