  • Captain Matthew Flinders (1774~1814)
    Captain Matthew Flinders (1774~1814) Captain Matthew Flinders was born 16 March, 1774. He was one of the most successful cartographers and navigators of his time. In a career that only spanned twenty years he circumnavigated Australia, proved Tasmania was an island and was the person responsible for the name “Australia” being adopted. Born in Lincolnshire, England, Matthew Flinders was introduced to the sea through reading the book Robinson Crusoe. Coming from a family of doctors, Flinders was expected to follow the same profession, but at the age of 15 he joined the Royal Navy. By 1790, Flinders had been made a midshipman and worked transporting breadfruit from Tahiti to Jamaica where he developed his navigation skills under the leadership of Captain Bligh. Flinders first trip to Port Jackson, New South Wales was in 1795 as a midshipman. On this voyage he quickly proved himself as a fine navigator and cartographer. He also became friends with the ship’s surgeon George Bass. Not long after arriving in Port Jackson, Bass and Flinders made two small expeditions in small open boats, both named Tom Thumb. Their first journey was to Botany Bay and Georges River; the second south from Port Jackson to Lake Illawarra . These journeys allowed Flinders to upgrade the maps of the New South Wales coast. In 1798 Flinders was given command of the ship, Norfolk and given orders to investigate beyond the Furneaux’s Islands and explore the extent of the strait between the mainland and Van Diemen's Land ( now known as Tasmania). Flinders and Bass journeyed through the strait and circumnavigated Van Diemen's Land, proving that it was a separate island.

  • Does Early Colonial Art Provide an Accurate Guide to the Nature and Structure of the Pre-European Forests and Woodlands of South
    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. I use ‘discourse’ in a loosely Foucauldian sense to denote embedded sets of taken for granted ideas, terms, and categories; and ‘praxis’ in a loosely Marxist sense to connote the synthesis of theory and action and practical expressions of discourse. 2. Archaeologists, historical linguists, and bioanthropologists roughly concur that the length of human settlement in island Southeast Asia, Australia, and Near Oceania (New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands) is at least 40,000–60,000 years. In Remote Oceania, the estimated length ranges from about 4,000 years in western Micronesia, around 3,000 years in southern Melanesia and western Polynesia, to fewer than 800 years in New Zealand (Higham et al. 1999:426; Kirch 2010; Spriggs 1997:23–6, 70; Stanyon et al. 2009). 3. See O’Gorman 1961:51–69; Wroth 1944:91–168. 4. See Douglas 2010; Schilder 1976; Wroth 1944:168–200. 5. Australasie from Latin australis (‘southern’); Polynésie from Greek poly- (‘many’) and neˉsos (‘island’). See Douglas 2011b. 6. For example, Canzler 1795, 1813; Reichard 1803: [plates 2 and 3]; Streit 1817. 7. Micronesia, from Greek mikros (‘small’), appears on an 1819 map by the Florentine cartographer Borghi (1826). Malaisie, from Malay Malayu, was sug- gested by the voyage naturalist René-Primevère Lesson (1826a:103, note 1). 8. Govor’s survey was undertaken for my ARC Discovery project ‘Naming Oceania’ (DP1094562). 9. Other expeditions in Oceania left important legacies: those of the Dutchmen Tasman (17th century) and Roggeveen (18th century); the Englishmen Drake, Wallis, Bligh, Vancouver, Beechey, and FitzRoy (16th–19th centuries); the 18th-century expeditions of the Frenchmen La Pérouse and Marion du Fresne and the Spaniard Malaspina; the 19th-century voyages of the Russians Krusenstern and Lisiansky, Kotzebue, and Bellingshausen and the United States Exploring Expedition under Wilkes.

  • 2020 Reflections on Australian Foundation Narratives in January
    2020 reflections on Australian foundation narratives In January 2019 the coincidence of three important events provided a rare moment to reflect on Australian history and its on-going relevance for Australians today. The first of these, Australia Day, has since 1988 - the bicentenary of European settlement, become a major public holiday and national anniversary celebrated on 26 January, the date historically that the colony of New South Wales was officially established with the raising of the Union flag in Sydney Cove in 1788. Prior to 1988, amongst the seven states and territories forming the national federation, the 26 January tended to be looked at as a singularly New South Wales anniversary, leaving the other states to celebrate anniversaries relating to their own distinct colonial foundations. It should be remembered that the initial British settlement in Australia was confined to the east coast of the continent, to that part claimed by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770 during his survey of the east coast on board the bark Endeavour. By 1787, in the commission appointing Arthur Phillip Governor of the new colony, the territory of New South Wales had grown considerably and was defined as: …extending from the northern cape or extremity of the coast, called Cape York, in latitude of ten degrees thirty-seven minutes south, to the southern extremity of the said territory of New South Wales or South Cape, in the latitude of Forty-three degrees thirty-nine minutes south, and of all the country inland to the westward, as far as the one hundred and thirty-fifth degree of east longitude, reckoning from the meridian of Greenwich, including all the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean, within the latitudes aforesaid… At the time, the rest of the continent was known as New Holland, the name given to it by the Dutch East India Company following the Dutch discovery of it early in the 17th century and their subsequent mapping of large sections of its coast.

Rose de Freycinet a effectué un voyage maritime qui a duré trois ans et deux mois, entre 1817 et 1820, pour lequel elle a laissé des écrits qui n’ont pas disparu comme souvent sont effacées les traces écrites laissées par une femme, ainsi que le note Michelle Perrot dans son livre sur Les femmes ou les silences de l’histoire1. Le récit de voyage de Rose de Freycinet, exceptionnel, rapporté dans son journal, donne une vision personnelle et féminine des habitants rencontrés, des événements traversés au cours du voyage autour du monde qu’elle effectue à bord de la corvette l’Uranie de 1817 à 1820. Qu’en est-il du journal de Rose de Freycinet ? Le journal de Rose de Freycinet est publié pour la première fois à Paris par la Société d’éditions géographiques, maritimes et coloniales en 1927 grâce à un descendant de Rose, un petit-neveu, qui en permet la publication un siècle après qu’il a été écrit par Rose. Le titre de l’unique volume est Campagne de l’Uranie, 1817-1820 : journal de madame Rose de Saulces de Freycinet.

Gustavo Mártin-Montenegro Master of Arts (Honours) in Spanish and Latin American Studies University of New South Wales, Australia Monograph: The term monograph is used, in an ample sense, to denominate the texts of argumentative plot and informative function that organise, in analytical and critical form, data on a subject gathered from different sources. In order to write a monograph it is necessary to determine a problem, to discover and to collect suitable data, to classify the materials, to make contact with individuals and institutions, to accede to the information and to exercise the critical spirit, to communicate the results in writing and/or to express orally its contents in front of an audience. A monograph is also a work of scientific research with a restricted subject. If this work is presented to an audience, specialised and competent in the subject, the same work is usually called a dissertation or technical article. The scientific term supposes the development of a logical process of knowledge of the truth on a subject. In the monograph, the author presents the results in an organised and systematic form. In order to sustain the description and assumed position, bibliographical evidence of professional works and investigation is required.
