Scenic and Historic Drives Route 2 Explorers and Bushrangers
SCENIC AND HISTORIC DRIVES ROUTE 2 EXPLORERS AND BUSHRANGERS DRIVE DESCRIPTION Hamilton Hume famously began his trek south from his property near Gunning in 1824, however he also explored extensive parts of the Goulburn Plains. Likewise, bushrangers including Ben Hall terrorized travelers along these key transport routes. Explore from Gunning to Collector and get a sense of this history. POINTS OF INTREST Gunning Your journey back to the time of the explorers and bushrangers starts in the historic village of Gunning. Explorer Hamilton Hume established a sheep property here in 1821, and soon after the area became an official settlement. In 1824 Hume and Captain William Hovell set off on their famous expedition south to what is now Melbourne. In 1840, bushrangers Thomas Whitton and his ruthless gang held up the town. Hamilton Hume’s brother, John Kennedy Hume and a group of local men faced up to the bushrangers, but John Hume was killed. You can find his grave, and those of others from this time, in the Gunning General Cemetery at the end of Wombat Street. Gunning features a whole range of interesting historical buildings and sites dating from this time onwards, featured in the self-guided Heritage Walk of Gunning. Fish River After exploring Gunning’s rich history, and maybe enjoying refreshments in one of the delightful cafés, it is time to head east out of town on the Cullerin Road. Around 5 km out of Gunning you will find a commemorative memorial erected in 1924, marking the start of Hume and Hovell’s expedition in 1824. -

By Iain Mccalman
THE ANNUAL HISTORY LECTURE HISTORY COUNCIL OF NEW SOUTH WALES Historical Re-enactments. Should we take them seriously? By Iain Mccalman Sydney, 2007 I’ve had the fifteen minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised all moderns: it was in August 2001 aboard a replica of Captain James Cook’s converted coal barque, the Endeavour, while sailing in what he called ‘the insane labyrinth’ of the Great Barrier Reef. I was engaged in a BBC Television and Discovery Channel re-enactment of Cook’s voyage of exploration up the east coast of Australia in 1770.i My high point as a TV historian consisted of a rant at the ship’s First Officer for preventing us from drying our clothes on the rigging. It’s appeared on all three versions of the subsequent TV series called The Ship, even though they were edited in very different forms for British, American and Australian audiences. My hissy-fit was exactly the sort of material our hairy-chested director hoped to generate when he outlined his vision of a new genre of ‘extreme history’ that we would pioneer. New or not, the formula was simple: assorted representatives of the twenty-first century pit themselves against some of the extreme physical and mental challenges of the past in order to entertain mass audiences. The latter are moved to laughter, awe or pity at our modern-day sufferings and failures. Some participants are ejected or fall by the wayside, the remainder join hands at the end to trill about how tough but rewarding it was to live in the past. -

The Australian-Asian Connection: from Alfred Deakin to John Howard
THE AUSTRALIAN-ASIAN CONNECTION: FROM ALFRED DEAKIN TO JOHN HOWARD Laksiri Jayasuriya University of Western Australia Introduction: Contextualizing Australia in Asia Several commentators have seized upon Australia’s recent entry to the inner sanctum of East Asian Summit as a turning point in Australia’s relationship with is regional neighbours. This goes to the heart of what I have termed the ‘Australian-Asian Connection’, or as others have called it, the Asian Engagement or Enmeshment. We indeed have come a long way since the historian La Nauze dismissed Australia’s proximity to Asia as something for the future (Walker 2003) As we ponder the significance of joining the East Asian Summit, many questions come to mind: does this signify a radical change in Australia’s view of itself? Is this the answer or a clue to the critical question whether Australia sees itself as an ‘Asian nation’ with a firm link to an Asian regional hegemon, or that Australia now embraces more firmly a duality – i.e., as an ‘Asian nation as well as a European nation’ (Collins 1985, 391). If, indeed there has been a change in how we comprehend the Australian-Asian connection, what underlies this sudden embrace of an ‘Asian future’ by none other than John Howard who in the past was forthright in his criticism of the regional policies in the Hawke and Keating era h (Dalrymple 2003). This becomes a perplexing query, particularly when one recalls that Foreign Minister Downer has stated that Australia had no wish to be part of a new regionalism such as that portrayed by Mahathir and others. -

A Critique of the Militarisation of Australian History and Culture Thesis: the Case of Anzac Battlefield Tourism
A Critique of the Militarisation of Australian History and Culture Thesis: The Case of Anzac Battlefield Tourism Jim McKay, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland This special issue on travel from Australia through a multidisciplinary lens is particularly apposite to the increasing popularity of Anzac battlefield tourism. Consider, for instance, the Dawn Service at Gallipoli in 2015, which will be the highlight of the commemoration of the Anzac Centenary between 2014 and 2018 (Anzac Centenary 2012). Australian battlefield tourism companies are already fully booked for this event, which is forecast to be ‘the largest peacetime gathering of Australians outside of Australia’ (Kelly 2011). Some academics have argued that rising participation in Anzac battlefield tours is symptomatic of a systemic and unrelenting militarisation of Australian history and culture. Historians Marilyn Lake, Mark McKenna and Henry Reynolds are arguably the most prominent proponents of this line of reasoning. According to McKenna: It seems impossible to deny the broader militarisation of our history and culture: the surfeit of jingoistic military histories, the increasing tendency for military displays before football grand finals, the extension of the term Anzac to encompass firefighters and sporting champions, the professionally stage-managed event of the dawn service at Anzac Cove, the burgeoning popularity of battlefield tourism (particularly Gallipoli and the Kokoda Track), the ubiquitous newspaper supplements extolling the virtues of soldiers past and present, and the tendency of the media and both main political parties to view the death of the last World War I veterans as significant national moments. (2007) In the opening passage of their book, What’s Wrong With Anzac? The Militarisation of Australian History (henceforth, WWWA), to which McKenna contributed a chapter, Lake and Reynolds also avowed that militarisation was a pervasive and inexorable PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol. -
