REYNOLDS, Frederick AN APPARENTLY UNPUBLISHED AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT OF LIFE ON THE VICTORIAN GOLDFIELDS DURING THE 1850s. Circa 1870. Manuscript written in ink on [27] pp, being one gathering from a contemporary quarto size notebook, the text complete in itself, titled on first page Some account of my doings in Australia from 1855 to 1862; written in one hand throughout and signed by the author Frederick Reynolds at the foot of the final page; beneath this signature is written in pencil in a slightly later hand (probably that of a family member) Husband of Guglielma Melford; the handwriting throughout the manuscript is bold, neat and entirely legible, and Reynolds’ expression is that of a literate, reasonably well-educated person; the thickish notepaper, of a type consistent with an 1870s dating, is toned around the edges but is extremely well preserved and shows no signs of brittleness; the black ink displays a higher level of oxidisation (ie. is slightly browner) on the exposed first page than on the inner pages of the manuscript, as should be expected. The narrative reveals that Frederick Reynolds was an English miner from Bridgewater in Somerset. -

Consequently many excellent Australian writers are here unrepresented, their work being perforce held over for The Second Bulletin Story Book, although it is work of a quality equal to that which is now given. The risk and expense of this publication are undertaken by The Bulletin Newspaper Company, Limited. Should any profits accrue, a share of forty per cent, will be credited to the writers represented. Owing to the length of time which, in some cases, has elapsed since the original publication in The Bulletin, the names and addresses of some of the writers have been lost sight of; and their work appears over pen-names, The editor will be glad if these writers will communicate with him and assist in completing the Biographical Index at the end of the book. -

Illustrating Mobility: Networks of Visual Print Culture and the Periodical Contexts of Modern Australian Writing VICTORIA KUTTAINEN James Cook University The history of periodical illustration offers a rich example of the dynamic web of exchange in which local and globally distributed agents operated in partnership and competition. These relationships form the sort of print network Paul Eggert has characterised as being shaped by everyday exigencies and ‘practical workaday’ strategies to secure readerships and markets (19). In focussing on the history of periodical illustration in Australia, this essay seeks to show the operation of these localised and international links with reference to four case studies from the early twentieth century, to argue that illustrations offer significant but overlooked contexts for understanding the production and consumption of Australian texts.1 The illustration of works published in Australia occurred within a busy print culture that connected local readers to modern innovations and technology through transnational networks of literary and artistic mobility in the years also defined by the rise of cultural nationalism. The nationalist Bulletin (1880–1984) benefited from a newly restricted copyright scene, while also relying on imported technology and overseas talent. Despite attempts to extend the illustrated material of the Bulletin, the Lone Hand (1907–1921) could not keep pace with technologically superior productions arriving from overseas. The most graphically impressive modern Australian magazines, the Home (1920–1942) and the BP Magazine (1928–1942), invested significant energy and capital into placing illustrated Australian stories alongside commercial material and travel content in ways that complicate our understanding of the interwar period. One of the workaday practicalities of the global book trade which most influenced local Australian producers and consumers prior to the twentieth century was the lack of protection for international copyright. -
Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead. -

Early North Queensland
EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND BY THE LATE EDWARD PALMER SYDNEY ANGUS & ROBERTSON MELBOURNE: ANGUS, ROBERTSON & SHENSTONE 1903 This is a blank page TO THE NORTH-WEST. I know the land of the far, fa y away, Where the salt bush glistens in silver-grey ; Where the emit stalks with her striped brood, Searching the plains for her daily food. I know the land of the far, far west, Where the bower-bird builds her playhouse nest ; Where the dusky savage from day to day, Hunts with his tribe in their old wild way. 'Tis a land of vastness and solitude deep, Where the dry hot winds their revels keep ; The land of mirage that cheats the eye, The land of cloudless and burning sky. 'Tis a land of drought and pastures grey, Where flock-pigeons rise in vast ark ay ; Where the " nardoo" spreads its silvery sheen Over the plains where the floods have beeh. 'Tis a land of gidya and dark boree, Extended o'er plains like an inland sea, Boundless and vast, where the wild winds pass, O'er the long rollers and billows of grass. I made my home in that thirsty land, Where rivers for water are filled with sand ; Where glare and heat and storms sweep by, Where the prairie rolls to the western sky. Cloncurry, 1897. —" Loranthus." W. C. Penfold & Co., Printers, Sydney. PREFACE. HE writer came to Queensland two years before T separation, and shortly afterwards took part in the work of outside settlement, or pioneering, looking for new country to settle on with stock. -
Catalogue of Manuscripts
UQFL2 CATALOGUE OF HAYES SINGLE ITEM MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION Catalogue of the Hayes Manuscript Collection Page 2 Subject index Page 200 Name index: Correspondents Page 216 Name index - Appendix Page 246 PREFACE The chief interest of this catalogue for scholars lies, I think, in the literary material - manuscripts and correspondence of A.G. Stephens, Mary Gilmore, Paul Grano, John Howlett Ross, F.W.S. Cumbrae- Stewart and many others - but there is much else of value. Father Hayes’ wide interests included anthropology, geology, Australian history, particularly Queensland local histories, wildlife and conservation. There is evidence of all these. He was above all a good parish priest, as well as a scholar and bibliophile, and as he seldom threw anything away, so far as one can judge, there is much Catholic Church history hidden away in his papers. He kept numerous letters from parishioners, nuns and fellow priests which reflect changing social patterns in Queensland. No attempt has been made to evaluate the importance of manuscripts listed in this catalogue. Much apparently trivial correspondence has been included. The only concession has been to exclude the personal papers and family and parish correspondence of Leo Hayes and Michael Potter, restricting entries in the published catalogue to broad general ones. The arrangement of the catalogue is alphabetical. There are two indexes: a name index, which is predominantly a list of correspondents, though certain names appear because they are editors or illustrators, or otherwise qualify for added entry according to normal cataloguing conventions. The second is a subject index. This includes places, institutions, names of periodicals and personal names where the person is the subject of a letter.
