  • Last Battle of the Clans
    Alfred Howitt's "Last Great Battle of the Clans" (1) Peter Gardner 1855 in Gippsland was the year in which the chain of events which Howitt called the 'last great battle of the clans' occurred. These events started late in 1854 when between one and four Jaitmathang (Omeo Aboriginals) were killed at an unknown location somewhere between Sale and Dargo, by members of the Braiakaulung Kurnai. There followed a series of bold raids and 'payback', or revenge killings which culminated in a number of face to face confrontations of the two groups. These groups represented virtually all the surviving Aboriginals in Gippsland as well as a number from other tribes including those of Omeo and Mt Buffalo. These occurrences involved unusual alliances and were an example of the continuing decline and breakdown of tribal custom and organisation. To help understand this process of decline and before examining the events themselves, which have been called 'tribal warfare' by some, it is necessary to examine the various authorities on tribal sources and the main sources of the affairs. Tribal Organisation and the Alliances For many years I had a preference for Howitt's classification of Gippsland tribal organisation before changing to the more modern categorisation of Tindale the reasons for which it is not necessary to enter into here. (2) The main difference between Howitt and Tindale on Gippsland tribal organisation was that Howitt considered the Kurnai as a single tribal unit whereas Tindale considers each of Howitt's 'clans' as tribal units. Readers can examine the two maps below to see how closely the boundaries of Tindale correspond with those drawn by Howitt.

  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.
