Journeys Into the Rainforest
2 Study Region: Environmental, Historical and Cultural Background Introduction This chapter presents background information regarding (i) the understanding of the environmental context, (ii) the distinct Aboriginal rainforest culture recorded at the time of European contact, (iii) the outcomes of Aboriginal interactions and negotiations with Europeans over the decades that followed first contact and (iv) the archaeological evidence, to the study area. The first section describes the environmental setting of the rainforest region, and demonstrates that a great level of biodiversity exists in this region. Information from palaeoecological research in the region is summarised to facilitate an appreciation of the climatic and environmental variability of the late Pleistocene and Holocene periods that has impact on human occupation in the region. This is followed by a summary of early European history of the study area and a description of the cultural setting of the study, including a discussion on some of the long-term outcomes of European settlement on Aboriginal people. The chapter concludes with a summary of previous archaeological research conducted in the rainforest region. Environmental setting The Wet Tropics Bioregion of northeast Queensland covers approximately 12,000 square km. It incorporates approximately the area between Rossville and Cardwell in the east and the Atherton- Evelyn Tablelands to the west (Fig. 2.1). The Tablelands are separated from the coastal plains by a mountain range that includes the highest mountain in Queensland, Mt Bartle Frere, at 1,622 m above sea level. The study area is located on the Evelyn Tableland in the southwest corner of the Tablelands (Fig. 2.1). -

Chapter Five – on the Farm
Yamani Country CHAPTER FIVE – ON THE FARM The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms … But none of them owns the landscape. There is property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all parts, that is, the poet. This is the best part of these men’s farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature and Selected Essays A report from the Land Commissioner at Atherton on 19 July 1935 mentions an old lady living in abject poverty on a 255 acre dairy farm at Glen Allyn. The house and the property are described as being in a condition of disrepair, and there is a concern on the part of the officials that the conditions of her selection holding are not being met. The report concludes that the ageing Miss Raymont is utterly ‘dependent’ on the ‘natives’ working on the property and that should they leave, the Land Commissioner would have no alternative but to dispossess Miss Raymont. Tales of dependency and dispossession constitute familiar stories in Aboriginal Australia, though I would imagine less so in Australian Settler society – the society that the spinster Laura Raymont and her two bachelor brothers, Ernie and George, were very much a part of at the turn of the twentieth century (Figure 15)16. Figure 15: ‘The Raymont Brothers with Aboriginal workers, ca. 1920, Malanda’ (Photo courtesy of the Eacham Historical Society). 16 Edgar Short reports that George, Ernie and Laura Raymont were originally from Devonshire and were “among the first settlers in the district” (Short 1988: 39). -

The information in this report is derived from 1:50 000 scale land resource mapping which is an adequate scale for planning purposes. In assessing individual applications for subdivision a detailed assessment of land resources is usually necessary. Explicit evaluation of economic factors such as the size of production units or crop viability have not been included in the suitability assessment as they are not considered relevant to the quality of the land resource (State Planning Policy 1/92). This report is intended to provide information only on the subject under review. There are limitations inherent in land resource studies, such as accuracy in relation to map scale and assumptions regarding socio-economic factors for land evaluation.
