  • “Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969
    “Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969 By Petrina Lee-Anne Osborne B.N., B.A. (Hons.), M.I.M. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania October 2014 ii Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree of diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Petrina Osborne Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Petrina Osborne iii Abstract This thesis undertakes a postcolonial reading of a selection of the fiction and non- fiction of Ion Idriess, Arthur Upfield, Ernestine Hill and John K. Ewers. It argues that their published and unpublished writing and correspondence contributed to a mid-twentieth-century literary discourse concerning identity, race and nation. The connection this study makes between these four middlebrow writers is their relationship with Walkabout, an Australian middlebrow geographic magazine. All four writers were noted contributors to the journal. In several ways their writerly endeavours—both fiction and non-fiction—paralleled Walkabout‘s attempts to influence its readers‘ views concerning identity and nation, particularly in respect to rendering the lesser known and populated regions of Australia familiar to its readership.

    INTRODUCTION This is a list of works quoted frequently in the dictionary and of those which it might be difficult to find from the short reference given in citations. Pseudonymous works have usually been entered under the pseudonym, with the author’s actual name added within brackets. Cross references have been included if warranted. Definite and indefinite articles preceding tides of journals and newspapers have been omitted. Annual volumes of legislation, sessional publications of parliaments, and government gazettes have not been listed in the Bibliography. Where parliamentary publications are used as the source of citations, they have been referred to by abbreviations, the key to which will be found in the List of Abbreviations (p. XIV). Where legislation is the source of citations, references have been made in the following style: (Year of enactment) Acts (state or country) (Regnal year, where applicable) (Number) (Section) For example: 1896 Acts (N.S.W.) 59 Vic. no. 26 section 15. Page numbers for such references have not been included. Works held by the Australian War Memorial Library (many of which are ephemera and unlikely to be found elsewhere) are marked with an asterisk.

  • ANZAAB Aspects of Book Collecting Ion Idriess Burnet’S Books
    ANZAAB Aspects of Book Collecting Ion Idriess Burnet’s Books Background:: Ion Llewellyn Idriess (1889-1979) led an amazingly varied life, as an assayer, opal miner, prospector, timber-getter, Light Horseman, sniper, and writer. He spent time in Cape York, Torres Strait, New Guinea, Northern Territory, central Australia, Western Australia. He often travelled and worked with Aboriginals, for whom he had a fine regard. He was a storyteller with an optimistic view of Australia’s development. Range:: Idriess wrote 52 books, the subjects reflecting the diversity of his interests and experience. His first book, Madman’s Island, appeared in 1927, originally in a fictionalised form which was a commercial failure. Some of his books describe Australian legends (Lasseter’s Last Ride, Flynn of the Inland, The Cattle King); others combine the style of a bush yarn with historical and geographical subjects. Some are technical books for prospectors and miners (Prospecting for Gold, Cyaniding for Gold, Fortunes in Minerals). The Guerrilla series of six small books was published during the Second World War. Many of his books describe Aboriginal bush skills and history, and two of his later works (Our Living Stone Age, Our Stone Age Mystery) reflect his interest in Aboriginal anthropology. Idriess was a relentless contributor to the “Aboriginalities” page of The Bulletin, and many of his stories appeared in magazines such as Walkabout, Man, Salt, Jest. His first published piece was “Opal Mining at Lightning Ridge in The Sydney Mail, 1910.
