Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Margaret C. Dillon. -ii- This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Margaret C. Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure. -
Parramatta's Archaeological Landscape
Parramatta’s archaeological landscape Mary Casey Settlement at Parramatta, the third British settlement in Australia after Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island, began with the remaking of the landscape from an Aboriginal place, to a military redoubt and agricultural settlement, and then a township. There has been limited analysis of the development of Parramatta’s landscape from an archaeological perspective and while there have been numerous excavations there has been little exploration of these sites within the context of this evolving landscape. This analysis is important as the beginnings and changes to Parramatta are complex. The layering of the archaeology presents a confusion of possible interpretations which need a firmer historical and landscape framework through which to interpret the findings of individual archaeological sites. It involves a review of the whole range of maps, plans and images, some previously unpublished and unanalysed, within the context of the remaking of Parramatta and its archaeological landscape. The maps and images are explored through the lense of government administration and its intentions and the need to grow crops successfully to sustain the purposes of British Imperialism in the Colony of New South Wales, with its associated needs for successful agriculture, convict accommodation and the eventual development of a free settlement occupied by emancipated convicts and settlers. Parramatta’s river terraces were covered by woodlands dominated by eucalypts, in particular grey box (Eucalyptus moluccana) and forest -
The Castle Hill Rebellion
NUNAWADING MILITARY HISTORY GROUP MINI NEWSLETTER No. 24 The Second Battle of Vinegar Hill – The Castle Hill Rebellion The Castle Hill rebellion of 1804 was a rebellion by convicts against the colonial authority of the British col- ony of New South Wales in the Castle Hill area, in Sydney. The rebellion culminated in a battle fought between convicts and the colonial forces of Australia on 5 March 1804 at Rouse Hill, dubbed the Second Battle of Vin- egar Hill after the first Battle of Vinegar Hill which had taken place in 1798 in Ireland. It was the first major convict uprising in Australian history suppressed under martial law. On 4 March 1804, according to the official accounts, 233 convicts led by Philip Cunningham (a veteran of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, as well as a mutiny on the convict transport ship Anne) escaped from a prison farm intent on "capturing ships to sail to Ireland". In response, martial law was quickly declared in the Colony of New South Wales. The mostly Irish rebels, having gathered reinforcements, were hunted by the colonial forces until they were caught on 5 March 1804 on a hillock nicknamed Vinegar Hill. While negotiating under a flag of truce, Cun- ningham was arrested. The troops then charged, and the rebellion was crushed. Nine of the rebel leaders were executed and hundreds were punished before martial law was finally revoked a week after the battle. Rising Many convicts in the Castle Hill area had been involved in the 1798 rebellions in Ireland and subsequently trans- ported as exiles-without-trial to the Colony of New South Wales from late 1799. -
B. Windsor Heritage Walk – the Peninsula Precinct
B. WINDSOR HERITAGE WALK – THE PENINSULA PRECINCT 2 km walk 1 hour Map nos. 11 – 24 Leaving the Thompson Square precinct, from the intersection of George and Bridge Streets, walk down Bridge Street towards the Green Hills Burial Ground. This is the first location on the walk, which takes you to the Peninsula area. The site of early land grants, farms established 1794-1798, and many significant public buildings of the Colonial era, this area was known as The Peninsula by 1802. The early grants on the Peninsula were subdivided into suburban lots and offered for sale by Laban White in 1842. The area today includes a variety of housing styles ranging from Victorian cottages and inter-war bungalows to modern houses all of which contribute to the unique character of the streetscape. Within this precinct John Tebbutt also built several observatories from which he made several important astronomical discoveries. The lower flood-prone land has been taken up by turf farms and on the riverbank Governor Phillip Park is home to the Upper Hawkesbury Power Boat Clubhouse which was formed in 1938. Please note that this brochure includes many privately owned buildings which are not open for public inspection and may be viewed from the public street only. 11. Green Hills Burial Ground From the early 1800s until Governor Macquarie proclaimed the new burial ground in 1811, (now the cemetery surrounding St Matthews Anglican Church, Windsor), the citizens of Green Hills were buried on the bank of South Creek or on their farms. A memorial was unveiled in March 1999 dedicated to those early settlers who were buried near this site. -

Introduction
Introduction In his third Boyer Lecture of November 2009, General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, noted several points on the subject of ‘Leading in Australia’, based on his own forty years of military experience. It was ‘a universal truth’, he said, that leaders ‘are accountable’. ‘Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands’. Furthermore, leadership required a keen understanding of the nature of teamwork, and of the fact that ‘teamwork is adversarial’, whether the team be pitted against another, against the environment or against the standards that the team has set itself. The key to successful leadership is ‘to simply and clearly identify the adversary to the team’ and to overcome the team’s or one’s own shortcomings to forge a cohesive unit united against the adversary. Finally, a leader must be an effective communicator. ‘Communication is the conduit of leadership’, and ‘Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited’. ‘Leadership messages must be direct, simple, [and] fundamentally relevant to each member of the team’.1 While Cosgrove was speaking broadly of contemporary leadership in the military, government and business, his general statements were as applicable to the late eighteenth century as they are today. This thesis examines the subject of leadership in the colony of New South Wales (NSW) for the period 1788 to 1794. The two principal leaders for that period were Captain Arthur Phillip R.N. and Major Francis Grose, the commandant of the New South Wales Corps who assumed command of the colony on Phillip’s departure in December 1792. -

Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc May-June 2018 ISSUE 56 ISSN 2203-4366 Hadley Park, Castlereagh The Heritage Council of NSW considers nominations for listing on the State Heritage Register based on an assessment of heritage significance and taking into account any submissions received from the public. Section 33 (3) of the NSW Heritage Act 1977 requires that the Heritage Council must be of the view that the item is of State heritage significance before it makes a recommendation to the Minister. Upon receipt of a recommendation for listing from the Heritage Council of NSW it is the Minister for Heritage who has to consider that recommendation and decide whether or not to direct the listing of the item on the State Heritage Register under Section 32 (1) of the Heritage Act. Hadley Park, Castereagh One such item currently under consideration is Hadley Park, Castlereagh. Castlereagh was one of the five Macquarie towns proclaimed by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1810. Hadley Park was the earliest known European settlement in this location at the time. Charles Hadley acquired land at Castlereagh and his home, possibly the small adjacent weatherboard cottage, was erected in about 1806. The main house may have been built nearer to 1801 and still stands today. Hadley Park is located on one of the 31 grants given out by Governor King in the Castlereagh (Mulgrave Place) area. Most of the grants had river frontages, and had a regular north-south orientation. They ranged from 70 to 160 acres, and the size reflected 1 HERITAGE May-June 2018 social status and family size. -

Because this land was invaded by the British in 1788 and became the British colony of New South Wales, the main British architectural styles at that time were ‘transported’ to the colony.
