  • WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, Arrivals 1829-1850
    WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, arrivals 1829-1850 Leigh S. L. Beaton, B.A (Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary institution. …………………………. (Leigh Beaton) i THESIS ABSTRACT Before the end of 1850, Scottish settlers in Western Australia represented a small minority group of what was, in terms of the European population, a predominantly English colony. By comparison to the eastern Australian colonies, Western Australia attracted the least number of Scottish migrants. This thesis aims to broaden the historiography of Scottish settlement in Australia in the nineteenth century by providing insights into the lives of Westralian Scots. While this thesis broadly documents Scottish settlement, its main focus is Scottish identity. Utilising techniques of nominal record linkage and close socio- biographical scrutiny, this study looks beyond institutional manifestations of Scottish identity to consider the ways in which Scottishness was maintained in everyday lives through work, social and religious practices. This thesis also demonstrates the multi-layered expressions of national identity by recognising Scottish identity in the Australian colonies as both Scottish and British. The duality of a Scottish and British identity made Scots more willing to identify eventually as Westralian

Description of elements included in this entry The Rottnest Island Lightstation precinct and associated buildings, and the land on which it stands being Swan Location 3110 on Diagram 7669, comprised in C/T 1245/513. 4. Local Government Area Shire of Cockburn 5. Location Rottnest Island, Cockburn 6. Owner Australian Maritime Safety Authority 7. Statement of Significance of Place (Assessment in Detail) DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE The island of Rottnest was named by William de Vlamingh in 1696 after the quokkas, which de Vlamingh mistook for large rats. Over 130 years later, on 27 April 1829, Captain Fremantle arrived on the nearby coast of Western Australia, aboard the H.M.S. Challenger. Captain Fremantle officially annexed the area on 18 June, 1829 for the British Crown. In the same year, 25 ships, including the Parmelia, under the charge of Lt. Governor Stirling, landed at the mouth of the Swan River to begin a European settlement. By 1831, settlers had been granted allotments on Rottnest Island in order to provide food resources, including fish, farm produce and salt, for the struggling colony. Problems of increasing conflicts between Aborigines and white settlers on the mainland spawned a proposal to use Rottnest as an island prison. Although this idea met with some resistance from those settlers already established on the island, the first prisoners were taken to Rottnest late in 1838. Constable Welch was the first Superintendent of the penal settlement and was given charge of construction works there.

    The Friends of the Forfar Botanists Assisted by Alan Elliott, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh From www.forfarbotanists.org e-mail: [email protected] James Drummond James Drummond was baptised on 8th January 1788 at Inverarity, near Forfar, Angus Scotland, this being registered in the Parish Records. He died on 27th March 1863, Western Australia Biography James’ father, Thomas was head gardener at Fotheringham estate in Inverarity and he was the eldest of the four children of Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth Nicol. The other children were Margaret (b. 1788), Euphemia (b. 1790) and Thomas (b. 1793). The earliest information apart from his date of baptism is that, like so many young Scots who went on to do well in the field of Botany and Horticulture, by 1808, James Drummond was working for Messrs Dickson at Broughton near Edinburgh. By 1809 Drummond had moved to take over the running of the newly established Cork Botanic Garden in Ireland, a post he held for 20 years. The garden was established by the Cork Institution and was a British government funded garden. One purpose of the garden was the testing and propagation of plants for the benefit of the farmers of southern Ireland. Drummond spent time studying the flora of southern Ireland and discovered the Spiranthes romanzoffiana Cham. and Pinguicula grandiflora Lam. James Drummond is also credited with raising two rose cultivars that are presumably now lost from cultivation. In 1810 he was elected an Associate of the Linnean Society of London. In 1810, James married Sarah Mackintosh, in Cork, Ireland and they had six children; Thomas (b.

HON SUE ELLERY (South Metropolitan — Leader of the Opposition) [8.13 pm]: Before I begin my comments on the bill, members will be aware that it was read into the house on the Wednesday of last week. Behind the Chair, the Leader of the House approached the opposition and asked whether we would be prepared to bring on the bill today to assist in finding some work for us to do. The Leader of the House is loath to vary the arrangements whereby a bill sits on the table for a week, and members on this side certainly appreciate that. I want to put on record that normally we would not be dealing with this bill until tomorrow. The bill before us renames what we know now to be Foundation Day to Western Australia Day and amends the acts that refer to public holidays—that is, the Public and Bank Holidays Act 1972 and the Minimum Conditions of Employment Act 1993, which refers to rates of payment and entitlements on public holidays. It is a very small and very simple bill, but, symbolically, it is very important. Foundation Day celebrates the formal beginning of European settlement in Western Australia through the establishment of the Swan River Colony.
