  • Necklace Making and Placedness in Tasmania 1 Introduction
    Coolabah, No.11, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Necklace making and placedness in Tasmania 1 Ray Norman Copyright©2013 Ray Norman. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: This paper has been written against the backdrop of John B. Hawkins’ paper, A Suggested History of Tasmanian Aboriginal Kangaroo Skin or Sinew, Human Bone, Shell, Feather, Apple Seed & Wombat Necklaces, published in Australiana, November 2008, and the research it sparked. Hawkins proffered some contentious propositions concerning unlikely and speculative connections between Tasmanian Aboriginal shell necklace making and the making of so-called “Tasmanian Appleseed necklaces”. Within the acknowledgements section of his paper Hawkins said that he “[looked] forward to a response to [his] article by the museum authorities, for it is only by the cut and thrust of debate that knowledge can be further enhanced”. This paper takes up that challenge albeit from outside the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and totally independent of any institutional sponsorship. Introduction Cultural production is at the nexus of different understandings of place and the cultural realities that belong there. It turns out that necklace making in Tasmania has a resonance of a kind that might not be easily found elsewhere because of the complex relationships it exemplifies between settler, and Indigenous trajectories. Like a thread these necklaces join both sides of the colonial equation in revealing, ambivalent and contested stories that resonate with the new globalism that is shaping the 21st Century 1 This paper is a contribution to the Placescape, placemaking, placemarking, placedness … geography and cultural production Special Issue of Coolabah, edited by Bill Boyd & Ray Norman.

  • Méthode Tasmanoise
    feature / Anne Krebiehl MW / Méthode Tasmanoise MÉTHODE TASMANOISE: PRISTINE BEAUTY IN BUBBLES It’s a mere three decades since Tasmania’s potential for sparkling wine was identified, but the cool, remote island is now acknowledged as being among the finest locations for traditional-method fizz production in the Southern Hemisphere. Anne Krebiehl MW takes a tour of this cool-climate hotspot in the Southern Ocean, and meets the Champagne-inspired producers now developing their own style of sparkling wines—wines that are as fresh and vivid as the island’s famously clean air indswept, remote, and totally brisk, the produced is in the niche premium wine sector retailing above island of Tasmania seems almost like $15 equivalent.

  • San Francisco & New York City 2018 Event Wrap Up
    San Francisco & New York City 2018 Event Wrap Up After a week of intensive conversations and visits with more than 160 sommeliers, wine buyers and media in San Francisco and New York, I am more optimistic than ever about the opportunities for Australian wine in one of the world’s most important markets. The US is currently at a crucial juncture at which the reputation and popularity of Australian wine is slowly but decisively on the rise, though a lot more work is required to realise its real potential. At a time when Australia’s export opportunities and growth in China are all the buzz, Wolf Blass commented to WBM’s Anthony Madigan recently that we should be getting more excited about the USA than China. That’s a big call, but this much is clear to me: Australia’s historical precedent and deep cultural ties with the US provide an opportunity far more promising than has ever been realised. In sparkling wine, for instance, the USA is the world’s biggest and fastest growing importer, responsible for landing more than 15 million cases of sparkling wine last year, and growing at almost 5% per annum. This market offers tremendous opportunity that Australia has failed to realise. Australia accounted for just 81,000 cases of last year’s volume. Australia produces 3% of the world’s sparkling wine yet supplies just 0.5% of US imports. Alarmingly, Australia’s sparkling white exports to the US have halved in the past five years. Australian wine in the US is no longer all about cheap and cheerful critter wines on the one hand and big, bold flagship shiraz on the other.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

  • HOUSE of ARRAS EJ Carr Late Disgorged 2003
    HOUSE OF ARRAS EJ Carr Late Disgorged 2003 Arras EJ. Carr Late Disgorged Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir pays tribute to the dedication and inspiration of its maker, EJ. Carr. As the pinnacle of the House of Arras, the EJ. Carr Late Disgorged is a wine of great intensity and character, with excellent structural elegance and flavour persistence. After at least 10 years on lees the wine has amazing complexity and yet retains the remarkable freshness of the character typical of a world class prestige cuvée. A true expression of Tasmanian terroir and impeccable winemaking - the 2003 vintage is the sixth release of this wine. VINTAGE The season remained warm and very dry from September to the end of February which, combined with moderate crop yields, promoted early ripening with the generosity of a temperate year. This was somewhat moderated by much cooler and wet weather from mid-March through which maturation slowed and natural acidity was retained. The fruit for this wine was harvested in excellent condition from sites less affected by the inclement weather and the wine retains the characteristics generated by the warmth of the early season. WINEMAKING Crafted with all the best winemaking and viticultural methods, including whole bunch pressing, primary fermentation on light grape solids & 100% malolactic fermentation of base wines to add sophistication and structure. Meticulous blending of only the best parcels of Tasmanian fruit and at least 10 years on lees has ensured this wine shows amazing complexity and yet continues to retain the remarkable freshness expected of a typical world-class prestige cuvée.
