  • Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

Any species identified as Threatened under the WC Act is assigned a threat category using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories and criteria. Species that have not yet been adequately surveyed to warrant being listed under Schedule 1 or 2 are added to the Priority Flora or Fauna Lists under Priority 1, 2 or 3. Species that are adequately known, are rare but not threatened, or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list for other than taxonomic reasons, are placed in Priority 4 and require regular monitoring.

  • The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin
    A Cordial Encounter? 53 A Cordial Encounter? The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin (8-9 April, 1802) Jean Fornasiero and John West-Sooby1 The famous encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders in the waters off Australia’s previously uncharted south coast has now entered the nation’s folklore. At a time when their respective countries were locked in conflict at home and competing for strategic advantage on the world stage, the two captains were able to set aside national rivalries and personal disappointments in order to greet one another with courtesy and mutual respect. Their meeting is thus portrayed as symbolic of the triumph of international co-operation over the troubled geopolitics of the day. What united the two expeditions—the quest for knowledge in the spirit of the Enlightenment—proved to be stronger than what divided them. This enduring—and endearing—image of the encounter between Baudin and Flinders is certainly well supported by the facts as we know them. The two captains did indeed conduct themselves on that occasion in an exemplary manner, readily exchanging information about their respective discoveries and advising one another about the navigational hazards they should avoid or about safe anchorages where water and other supplies could be obtained. Furthermore, the civility of their meeting points to a strong degree of mutual respect, and perhaps also to a recognition of their shared experience as navigators whom fate had thrown together on the lonely and treacherous shores of the “unknown coast” of Australia. And yet, as appealing as it may be, this increasingly idealized image of the encounter runs the risk of masking some of its subtleties and complexities.

  • The Zebra Finch Genome and Avian Genomics in the Wild
    Review CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/emu Emu, 2010, 110, 233–241 The Zebra Finch genome and avian genomics in the wild Christopher N. Balakrishnan A,C, Scott V. Edwards B and David F. Clayton A ADepartment of Cell and Developmental Biology and Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL 61820, USA. BMuseum of Comparative Zoology and Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. The Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is the first species of passerine bird with a complete genome sequence, making it an exciting time for avian evolutionary biology. Native to Australia and the Lesser Sunda Islands, this species has long played an important role in the study of ecology, behaviour and neuroscience. With the sequencing of its genome, the Zebra Finch now also represents an important model system for evolutionary and population genomics. The production of a genome sequence for the Zebra Finch will have far-reaching impacts on the study of avian biology. Here we discuss the genomic resources available for the Zebra Finch, including the genome sequence itself, and some of the ways in which they will facilitate the study of avian diversity. We also highlight recent examples from the literature that have already begun to leverage Zebra Finch genomic tools towards the study of birds in nature. Introduction in a comparative context, highlighting some of the ways in The Zebra Finch genome is the first passerine genome to be which the Zebra Finch genome can facilitate evolutionary sequenced and only the second avian genome to be sequenced studies across the passerine radiation.

  • Unsettling Accounts
    Critical Race and Whiteness Studies www.acrawsa.org.au/ejournal Volume 7, Number 2, 2011 SPECIAL ISSUE: FUTURE STORIES/INTIMATE HISTORIES Un/Settling Accounts: Telling Holocaust Stories in Colonised Australia Anna Szorenyi Gender, Work and Social Inquiry, University of Adelaide Cultural fascination with the Holocaust in Australia is often thought to distract attention from the history and legacies of colonialism. Here I tell fragments of stories about my family’s implication in both issues, in order to explore the ways in which they turn out to be part of the same narrative, or rather the same failure to narrate. The issue of Australia’s implication in the Holocaust does not so much compete with colonialism, as it cohabits in the ‘Great Australian Silence.’ Searching for ways in which to bring the story of the Holocaust ‘home’, I find myself ‘displaced’ by my inability to avoid this failure of narration, but also, in accordance with Butler’s theorisation of the ethical possibilities of such failures, brought to a space of ethical exposure in the present. ‘My being-in-the-world or my ‘place in the sun’, my being at home, have these not also been the usurpation of spaces belonging to the other man whom I have already oppressed or starved, or driven out into a third world; are they not acts of repulsing, excluding, exiling, stripping, killing?’ (Levinas 1989: 82). Two stories: 1. I have written before about the discovery that my father’s father was a Nazi collaborator (Szörényi 2010). Although no-one in my family knew it until 2009, this is a matter of public record, noted in memoirs published in Hungarian and in historical research published in English (Nagy 1986, Macartney 1957).
