    QUEER NEWCASTLE A PORTABLE EXHIBITION LEARN MORE AT WWW.LIVINGHISTORIES.NEWCASTLE.EDU.AU /PAGES/HUNTERRAINBOW To those who have built the spaces for me to live as I am and to the unending strength and dedication of the LGBTQIA+ community. Thank you to John Witte and Richard Riley for their amazing support during the creation of this project. Cover image: Bill Whitbread-Brown as Miss Fair Day, Sydney Star Observer, 1995. Image: Mazz Images, 1995. Hunter Rainbow Histories Collection I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land in which I live and of which I record this history. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and a treaty was never signed. I would also like to acknowledge the intersectional oppression faced by Indigenous queer peoples and the work that needs to be done in order to address this both within and outside the queer community. WHO AM I? I grew up on the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples in the area now known as Newcastle NSW. I moved to Sydney in 2016 to pursue a degree at the University of Sydney in history and gender studies. I identify as non-binary and bisexual; it is from this identity that I write this history of Newcastle. As a student of history, I am committed to queering spaces which have been claimed by colonial, heterosexual and cis bodies. I aim to illuminate how these spaces have continuously been reworked as queer by the ongoing, and often invisible, presence of queer people and their experiences. I hope, in all my academic pursuits, to give back to the communities who have given so much to me by bringing attention to their forgotten and marginalised histories.

In a society where most of the people live in poverty, the principle that 'more is better' applies. However, when a society becomes affluent this is no longer the case. Many of our problems originate in the fact that some people have not yet grasped this simple truth. One of the problems emanating from this state of affairs is the depletion of natural resources and the pollution of our land, air and water. This book gives a brief account of some of the groups who have attempted to restore a balance, or sanity, into the debate about where we, as a society, are heading.

  • Newcastle East Women's History Walk
    Newcastle East Women’s History Walk Researched by Jude Conway, on the suggestion of the Newcastle women’s group AWE and the Gender, Generation and Culture Network at the University of Newcastle map by AWE 1. Awabakal Stand at the top of the park at the end of Scott Street, overlooking Newcastle ocean baths. Newcastle harbour was called Muloobinba by the Awabakal people who frequently camped on the southern foreshore. Awabakal men and women both went fishing. The men used spears, while the women used hooks and lines and supplied most of the fish. The hooks were made of shell or bone and if they made their lines the same as the Worimi women from the north of the harbour they were made out of the inner bark of young kurrajong trees Awabakal woman Killigrant, back from fishing, painted by convict artist Richard Browne when at the Newcastle penal colony Lieutenant Coke based in Newcastle in 1827 noted that Awabakal women had the first joint of their little finger of the right hand cut off as it interfered with the drawing in of the fishing lines. An eye witness in Sydney wrote that it was the top two joints of the left hand and was done when the females were about three or four months old With maybe a baby on their shoulders, or even heavily pregnant the Awabakal women would have been precision-balanced in their flimsy bark canoes. They had small fires on clay pads in the canoe and cooked and ate the first catch of fish before taking the rest back to camp to be shared Image by Richard Browne shows fire in canoe Awabakal women also jumped off the rocks to catch lobsters, and told Lt Coke the water was still at a depth of 10 or 12 feet.
