    School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry A Study of the Relationship between Mining and the Performing Arts in Australia 1850 – 1914: case studies of the Ballarat and Kalgoorlie-Boulder goldfields. by Norma Latchford This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy – Social Sciences of Curtin University March 2020 i To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Date : 13th March 2020 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks and appreciation for the tolerance and support that has been given by my supervisors to this non- academic student. To Emeritus Professor Roy Jones for his gentle guidance and scrupulous editing of my work: to Doctor Patrick Bertola who gave me the confidence to embark on the project and has been an invaluable support and source of information on mining. To Teresa Bennett and her staff at the Curtin School of Mines library in Kalgoorlie, for ensuring that living in a regional community was not a disadvantage to research. For inspiration, my fellow thespians at the Goldfields Repertory Club, and finally the unstinting encouragement and support of Stan and Jane Latchford. iii A Study of the Relationship between Mining and the Performing Arts in Australia 1850-1914: case studies of the Ballarat and Kalgoorlie-Boulder goldfields. ABSTRACT This study into the relationship between mining and the performing arts during the second half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, a transformative period in the economic, social, and cultural history of Australia, investigates the interconnectedness and interdependence of the two components, mining and the performing arts, and demonstrates how each contributed to the support and development of the other.

Researcher: You said something about analysing, is that not something you enjoy?

Researcher: This is a common thing, this notion that you read the poem and you bring your interpretation to it, but that's not really what is meant. Student: Yeah. Researcher: Where is the interpretation supposed to come from then? Student: Study guides, I don't know; they hand out study guides and say 'don't write what these people write, they're just there to help you' or something, and sort of read them, and then that's what they expect you to write; it's pretty confusing.
