An interesting, informative and nostalgic readBy Diana M. HockleyThere are many books written about a bygone era and The Drover is one such. Pat Ritter's novel tells the true story of Harry Williams, a drover who hit the road at 13 and followed the life until it eventually faded due to the arrival of road transport for shifting stock.Harry Williams was a magnificent man who saw his share of tragedy in losing his newborn son and who took on his deceased sister's twelve children without much assistance from his brother-in-law. Altogether Harry and his wife, Rose, raised fifteen children during their life on the road.I thoroughly enjoyed this account (I overlooked grammar and errors) and hope many people read this chronicle of stamina, honesty and a work ethic which would send many of today's youth into shell-shock just thinking about it. The hardy people of our history need to be written about before their deeds are long forgotten. The muster of the long paddock is enacted once a year in northern Australia and it is about to begin right now. It is heartening to see the tradition maintained and writer's such as Pat Ritter are doing their bit.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy Dennis RutzouIt is great Australian subject, which is what attracted me to the book in the first place as my grandfather had driven mobs of sheep in Northern Victoria for 6 weeks at a time and had taken my father (then aged 8) with him. These were stories I was told as a small boy so was predisposed to the topic.But although there are some very good descriptive highlights of the scenery and the action, as a book it fizzles out with a lame duck ending, although possibly predictable ending, but I was looking for something more.Still on the 'upside' I now know how to make a lassoo out of rawhide, which I didn't know before although I am not sure how I will use this new found knowledge in the future.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Last of the DroversBy Kindle CustomerThis is a story that tells the life of Harry a driver since he was 13 years over. I was amazed at what an Australian driver did for a living. Being an American I was fascinated to learn about the history of the Australian driver. Truly a five star story. Droving in outback Queensland was a roaring trade in the late 1940's and 50's. Australia lived off the sheep's back with wool being one pound sterling for one pound of wool. Everyone had money.Sheep and cattle needed to be taken from place to place. It was common to see at least six droving camps taking sheep or cattle across the outback of south- west Queensland from property to property.This book is about the life of Harry Williams, who wanted to be a drover, the same as his father and grandfather before him.At aged ten years he left school and commenced work. By thirteen years he had his own droving plant. By twenty-one he was a fully pledged drover in his own right.At times he overcome many obstacles in his path. One epic trip he was Boss Drover to take 500 bullocks from Bulloo Downs in South West Queensland to Clifton Hills in South Australia, a journey to take twelve months.He was the last of the ole drovers. A huge part in Australian history. From the AuthorMy late father-in-law was a drover. Unfortunately it's now a dying breed of occupation but in the 50's and 60's before motor transport, it was common to see droving throughout the far west of Queensland and northern New South Wales of Australia.I joined the droving family in the early 70's and instantly grew to like the stories my father-in-law told whilst we sat on the front lawn at the home in Cunnamulla. Each story was filled with adventure, thrills, working through all weather. His exploits and knowledge of droving was second to none and was described in the town as 'the most honest man'.Once I accompanied him on a droving trip, although it was only short by the distances he'd drove cattle or sheep; but this trip gave me a taste of his life. It was his way of life.After thirty years of listening to his stories; watching his ability of a drover, research of his trips, I decided to write his story. Although it is fictional characters, it is his story. I'm proud to have written it.About the AuthorI've been writing and publishing books for almost a quarter of a century. Presently my fifteenth novel has commenced. This book is a follow-on from 'The Shearer' as a continued story of the life of Joe Ryan.Writing is a passion. I love to write. It doesn't matter if its only a short story or a novel. I've got to write daily. There is nothing more important when I see my books downloaded and read. Even the free one.Passion for writing is something unfortunately which takes over my life. Thoughts develop in my mind and next I know these thoughts have been described onto page. Its an endless cycle and something I can't live without.This process keeps my mind activate as well as my life full. I need for nothing.

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.

    Soil Conservation Board District Plan : Northern Flinders Ranges

    Soil Conservation Board District Plan Revised 2004 NORTHERNNORTHERN FLINDERSFLINDERS RANGESRANGES FOREWORD The Northern Flinders Soil Conservation Board has been involved in various activities since the inception of our first District Plan, which was completed in 1997. Most of the activities that we pursued since that time have been carried out or on-going. Several new projects have been completed, namely the Aroona Dam Biodiversity Enhancement Project. This project has seen the construction of two walking trails, interpretive signage, feral animal control including goats, foxes and cats, as well as a comprehensive destruction of rabbit warrens and land rehabilitation. Another project was a Pilot Programme, which involved local landholders, Animal Plant Control Commission and NPWSA in a range of activities including weed control, feral animal control and land rehabilitation. This integrated with the NPWSA Bounceback Programme in feral goat control, donkey control and 1080 baiting for foxes. Some projects undertaken by landholders were rabbit warren destruction, water point relocation, land rehabilitation and water ponding to name just a few. The Northern Flinders Soil Conservation Board has also become involved with a Regional Soil Board Executive, which has sourced funding from N.H.T. grants from the Commonwealth Government. Most of this funding is on a 50/50 basis and has met with approval from landholders throughout the Soil Board region. The proposed Natural Resources Management Act has yet to be legislated and further meetings are planned before it will become law. There are a number of concerns by Boards in the Rangelands of South Australia not the least of which is the ongoing funding of these proposed groups and the people who will drive them.
  • West Kimberley Place Report

    West Kimberley Place Report

    WEST KIMBERLEY PLACE REPORT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY ONE PLACE, MANY STORIES Located in the far northwest of Australia’s tropical north, the west Kimberley is one place with many stories. National Heritage listing of the west Kimberley recognises the natural, historic and Indigenous stories of the region that are of outstanding heritage value to the nation. These and other fascinating stories about the west Kimberley are woven together in the following description of the region and its history, including a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship over the course of more than 40,000 years. Over that time Kimberley Aboriginal people have faced many challenges and changes, and their story is one of resistance, adaptation and survival, particularly in the past 150 years since European settlement of the region. The listing also recognizes the important history of non-Indigenous exploration and settlement of the Kimberley. Many non-Indigenous people have forged their own close ties to the region and have learned to live in and understand this extraordinary place. The stories of these newer arrivals and the region's distinctive pastoral and pearling heritage are integral to both the history and present character of the Kimberley. The west Kimberley is a remarkable part of Australia. Along with its people, and ancient and surviving Indigenous cultural traditions, it has a glorious coastline, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, pristine rivers and vine thickets, and is home to varied and unique plants and animals. The listing recognises these outstanding ecological, geological and aesthetic features as also having significance to the Australian people. In bringing together the Indigenous, historic, aesthetic, and natural values in a complementary manner, the National Heritage listing of the Kimberley represents an exciting prospect for all Australians to work together and realize the demonstrated potential of the region to further our understanding of Australia’s cultural history.

    Council Meeting Held on 19/11/2020

    P305 Daniel Holland / 6552 4185 Sam Mastrolembo Chief Executive Officer Shire of Broome PO Box 44 BROOME WA 6725 [email protected] Dear Mr Mastrolembo P305 Wallal Downs Station Group, 56 Great Northern Highway, Eighty Mile Beach The above place was entered in the State Register of Heritage Places on an interim basis on 9 May 1992 under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990. The Heritage Act 2018, which came into effect on 1 July 2019, now requires registration of Wallal Downs Station Group to be finalised. The Heritage Council recently considered the updated draft assessment for Wallal Downs Station Group, including a proposed statement of significance, and an amended curtilage, and resolved that: • the place is of cultural heritage significance in terms of the Heritage Act 2018; • the place makes an important contribution to understanding the heritage of Western Australia as detailed in the draft proposed statement of cultural heritage significance (draft statement) in the draft register entry; and, • stakeholders should be consulted on the proposal to finalise registration with an amended area to be entered in the register. As the relevant local government authority for the above place, I am therefore seeking your written comments on the proposal to finalise registration of Wallal Downs Station Group with an amended curtilage. The register entry will be based on the three enclosed documents: • Draft assessment documentation, including statement of significance • HCWA Curtilage Map – showing the area of land that was registered in 1992, and the amended area that is now proposed for the finalised registration • HCWA Zones of significance – showing the level of significance of the various areas.
  • Beyond the Pale – the Plight of Remote Area Heritage

    Beyond the Pale – the Plight of Remote Area Heritage

    BEYOND THE PALE – THE PLIGHT OF REMOTE AREA HERITAGE Historic heritage in remote areas is ‘beyond the pale,’ too far away, too difficult to conserve and passé compared with trendy urban sites. It is the product of pastoralism but wool is no longer the ‘Australian story.’ Despite the significant wool income to Australia ($3.3 billion), selling educational services abroad brings in more ($4.2 billion). A study of the wool export business from 1862 to 1995 found that the Australian economy ‘fell off the sheep’s back’ after World War I despite the aberration of the Korean wool boom (Grattan, 2004:104-5). For 100 years Australia did ‘ride on the sheep’s back’ and from associated activities such as shearing and droving came much of our cultural heritage –in art, literature, poetry, language, music and our essential Australianness. Much of this imagery is associated with the history of western Queensland with its boss drovers, gun shearers, swagmen waltzing matildas and strikers meeting under the tree of knowledge. With current rates of change in rural property management, ownership and proposed local government amalgamations there is a very real risk of losing a large amount of Queensland’s rural heritage. There is a lack of knowledge about the extent and significance of the places, a lack of incentives for owners to conserve them, a lack of skills to assist in conservation work, and a lack of monitoring of the condition of remote places entered in heritage registers. This paper examines the background to efforts at conserving rural heritage, the historical development of pastoralism in Queensland, issues in remote area conservation and some possible solutions.
