  • 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.

  • 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 Discovery and Mapping of Australia's Coasts
    Paper 1 The Discovery and Mapping of Australia’s Coasts: the Contribution of the Dutch, French and British Explorer- Hydrographers Dorothy F. Prescott O.A.M [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the mapping of Australia’s coasts resulting from the explorations of the Dutch, French and English hydrographers. It leaves untouched possible but unproven earlier voyages for which no incontrovertible evidence exists. Beginning with the voyage of the Dutch yacht, Duyfken, in 1605-6 it examines the planned voyages to the north coast and mentions the more numerous accidental landfalls on the west coast of the continent during the early decades of the 1600s. The voyages of Abel Tasman and Willem de Vlamingh end the period of successful Dutch visitations to Australian shores. Following James Cook’s discovery of the eastern seaboard and his charting of the east coast, further significant details to the charts were added by the later expeditions of Frenchmen, D’Entrecasteaux and Baudin, and the Englishmen, Bass and Flinders in 1798. Further work on the east coast was carried out by Flinders in 1799 and from 1801 to 1803 during his circumnavigation of the continent. The final work of completing the charting of the entire coastline was carried out by Phillip Parker King, John Clements Wickham and John Lort Stokes. It was Stokes who finally proved the death knell for the theory fondly entertained by the Admiralty of a great river flowing from the centre of the continent which would provide a highroad to the interior. Stokes would spend 6 years examining all possible river openings without the hoped- for result.
