  • A History of Drought, Fire and Flood in Tasmania from European Settlement in 1803 to the 1960S
    ‘Antipodean England’? A History of Drought, Fire and Flood in Tasmania from European Settlement in 1803 to the 1960s. by Kathryn Evans BA (University of Tasmania) MA Public History (Monash University) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania (January 2012). Declaration This thesis 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, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Signed Kathryn Evans Date This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. 2 Abstract The influence of climatic variability on the European history of Tasmania has largely been neglected as a field of study. It is demonstrated here that severe weather events, such as drought, floods, storms, extreme cold and bushfires, have had a significant impact on that history. Drought affected farming operations, town water supplies, mining and industry, and later hydro-electric power generation. Floods and storms disrupted transport and communication networks and damaged property in towns and in the country. Bushfires also periodically wrought widespread property damage. An environmental history approach is employed to explore the dominant images and perceptions of Tasmania‟s climate, the impacts of severe weather events on the population, the responses made to them, and how these changed over time from 1803 to the 1960s.

It is a story, which is worth the telling, of a time when high ideals inspired men to effort, and may repeat itself sooner than we think in a struggle for the closer Union of the British peoples. If the names of the actors be unfamiliar to English readers, let it be remembered that Galt, George Brown, Tupper, and John A.

  • Land Allocation in Tasmania Under the Waste Lands Acts, 1856-1889

Bronwyn Dorothy Meikle iii This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Bronwyn Dorothy Meikle iv Abstract With the granting of self-government to the colonies of eastern Australia in the 1850s, each colony became responsible for its own land legislation. Each produced legislation that enabled settlement by small farmers, the selectors. In New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland this led to conflict between the selectors and those who had previously established their sheep runs on the land, the squatters, as they became known in Australia. The land legislation also enabled the development of agriculture in those colonies. Tasmania produced twenty-one Waste Lands Acts over a period of thirty-one years, and introduced a number of land schemes to attract immigrants. In spite of these attempts, the Tasmanian economy remained in depression, agricultural output declined, and immigration stagnated.

I am grateful to the officials, staff and librarians of the several Parliaments I visited who were unstinting in their assistance and advice. In particular, in the Federal Parliament, my thanks are due to Harry Evans, Clerk of the Senate, Ann Lynch, then Deputy Clerk of the Senate, Andrea Griffiths, Usher of the Black Rod and Kay Walsh; in New South Wales: David Blunt, then Usher of the Black Rod, Robert Lawrie, Parliamentary Archivist, Ian Delahunty and Stephen Frappel; in Victoria: Stephen Redenbach, Assistant Clerk Procedures and Usher of the Back Rod, and John Breukel, Parliamentary Librarian; in South Australia: Jan Davis, Clerk of the Legislative Council, Trevor Blowes, Clerk Assistant and Usher of the Black Rod, and Jenny Newton-Farrelly, Librarian.
