  • Drawing the Line Between Native and Stranger
    DRAWING THE LINE BETWEEN NATIVE AND STRANGER Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of New South Wales for the degree of Master of Fine Arts by Research by Fiona Melanay MacDonald March 2010 ABSTRACT Drawing the Line between Native and Stranger Fiona MacDonald The Research Project Drawing the Line between Native and Stranger explores the repercussions of the foundational meeting at Botany Bay through a culture of protest and opposition. The project took form as sets of print works presented in an exhibition and thus the work contributes to the ongoing body of Art produced about the ways that this foundational meeting has shaped our culture. The Research Project is set out in three broad overlapping categories: Natives and Strangers indicated in the artwork by the use of Sydney Language and specific historic texts; Environment; the cultural clash over land use, and Continuing Contest — the cycle of exploitation and loss. These categories are also integrated within a Legend that details historical material that was used in the development of the key compositional elements of the print folio. The relationship between Native and Stranger resonates in the work of many Australian artists. To create a sense of the scope, range and depth of the dialogue between Native and Stranger, artists whose heritage informs their work were discussed to throw some light from their particular points of view. In conclusion, a document and suite of print-based work traces the interaction and transformation of both Native and Stranger

  • Introduced Diseases Among the Aboriginal People of Colonial Southeast Australia 1788-1900
    "A Great Deal of Sickness"1 Introduced diseases among the Aboriginal People of colonial Southeast Australia 1788-1900 Peter J. Dowling January 1997 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, Canberra 1 Buttfield 1874 Except where otherwise stated in the text, this thesis represents my own original work. Peter J. Dowling For Dianne Saal na saol Tús gá deiredh Tá muid beo Dá deo Life of lives Beginning without an end We are alive To the end of time (Enya & Ryan 1987) Abstract Palaeopathological studies have sought to build up a picture of Australian Aboriginal health before European settlement in 1788, and epidemiological studies of Aboriginal health in the twentieth century are now legion. But, despite a growing body of literature on Aboriginal history in the intervening colonial period, this remains an under-studied period from the viewpoint specifically of Aboriginal health. This thesis is a contribution to filling that gap through an examination of documentary and skeletal evidence on the changing bio-medical situation experienced by Aboriginal populations of Southeast Australia from 1788 to 1900. This thesis examines one of the major biological components of this change - the diseases that were introduced into Australian Aboriginal populations during the process of colonisation. The epidemiology, timing, diffusion of diseases are considered with specific attention given to infectious and respiratory diseases that were responsible for causing major epidemics of morbidity and mortality.

BYRON, Presiding Commissioner, MR T. HINTON, Commissioner TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS AT SYDNEY ON FRIDAY, 19 AUGUST 2005, AT 9.00 AM Continued from 18/8/05 Heritage 970 He190805.doc DR BYRON: Good morning. We can resume the public hearings of the commission's inquiry into the conservation of Australia's historic heritage places. First up this morning we have Mr Graham Brooks. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you for the written submission which Tony and I have both read carefully. Our normal procedure in all the hearings is to ask you to summarise the main points from the written submission, 10 or 15 minutes or so, and then we'd like to discuss that with you and elaborate on some of the issues that you've raised. MR BROOKS: Thank you, Dr Byron. I think, given that you have obviously read my submission in detail, I'll try and keep my summary very short, because I think sometimes some debate and discussion is maybe the best way to flush out some of these issues, particularly now that you're so far through your own research. The point I wanted to make, I come here as a private heritage consultant in private practice. I'm managing director of Graham Brooks and Associates, but I'm also the chairman of the ICOMOS International Cultural Tourism Committee, and I have been the chairman of AusHeritage.

  • Food in the Early Sydney Settlement
    Phillip’s Table Food in the early Sydney settlement Jacqui Newling When considering food in the early settlement of New South Wales, acknowledgement must be given to the Aboriginal peoples whose expert care and sustainable management of the land facilitated the British colonists' survival. While the land may have seemed to be an inhospitable or even hostile wilderness to outsiders, had it not been groomed, tended and nurtured by its local peoples, the colonisers would have faced a much more difficult task in establishing themselves in this place. Governor's House at Sydney, Port Jackson 1791. By Bradley, William. From the collection of the State Library of New South Wales [a3461024 / Safe 1/14 / opp p 225] (from: William Bradley – Drawings from his journal `A Voyage to New South Wales', 1802+, Mitchell Library) Sydney's first Government House was Governor Arthur Phillip's home and its residents, his 'family' (as they were often referred to by contemporary diarists), included a small group of household servants. Among them was agriculturalist, Henry Dodd, the colony's head gardener who would later transfer to Sydney Journal, vol 5, no 1 (2016): 68–82 68 ISBN: 1835-0151 © UTSePress and the author Sydney Journal | Newling Parramatta, and Phillip's personal servant, Bernard de Maliez. In time, members of Aboriginal communities would join the governor's family, in various capacities. Maintaining sociable British civil practices and protocols, the colony's principal players, senior officers and key personnel would regularly dine or take tea at the governor's house. The governor's table was a place for administration, negotiation, revelation and celebration.
