  • Cairns Region – Rising from the Ashes
    CUMMINGS ECONOMICS 38 Grafton St (PO Box 2148) CAIRNS Q 4870 ABN 99 734 489 175 Tel : 07 4031 2888 Email : [email protected] “The Northern Website : www.cummings.net.au Professionals” October 2020 / CE Ref J3339 CAIRNS REGION – RISING FROM THE ASHES The excellent history of Cairns by Dorothy Jones, “Trinity Phoenix”, published at the time of the Cairns Century in 1976, records how the tiny settlement of Cairns on the shores of Trinity Inlet was almost eclipsed by other port settlements along the coast. But, like the Phoenix of mythology, having been burnt in fire rose again from the ashes. The city and region, with its heavy exposure to interstate and international tourism, has been hard hit by the restrictions imposed to combat the Coronavirus. It is time now for the region like the Phoenix, to rise from the ashes. With local lockdowns over, most tourism restraints starting to lift and government incentives leading to an upsurge in dwelling construction and the property market, prospects for a progressive recovery during the rest of 2020-21 are looking promising. RECOVERY ALREADY UNDERWAY Latest figures available indicate that after the major impact of the local lockdown in April, the recovery is already underway. The Jobs Index of Payroll Returns to the Australian Tax Office indicates jobs in the Cairns region plunged by 11% during April but, propped up by JobKeeper support, have progressively returned to being only 5% down in August. While JobSeeker numbers soared in April and May, they have been drifting down since then.

    Print Article: 'Blackbirding' shame yet to be acknowledged in Australia 31/07/2015 1:24 pm Print this article | Close this window 'Blackbirding' shame yet to be acknowledged in Australia Emelda Davis Published: June 3, 2015 - 3:09PM As a second generation descendant of South Sea Islanders (kanaks) who were ruthlessly recruited (blackbirded) to serve in the most appalling conditions as plantation workers in the sugar industry of Australia, I am part of a family of activists who have sought to attain recognition and social justice for my people. More than 55,000 people, mostly men, were brought from Vanuatu, the Solomons and eighty surrounding islands under what Australia called the indentured labour trade, which was akin to slavery. They were first brought to NSW in 1847 with an influx to Queensland between 1863 and 1904. My grandfather was taken off the island of Tana in what is now the Tafea Province of Vanuatu in the late 1800s. He was one of the many children whose birth right of freedom was stripped from him at the age of 12 when he was taken to work in the sugar cane fields. He never returned home. The experience and belief of our South Sea Islander communities, passed down through oral histories, is that our forefathers were enslaved regardless of the pretence of contracts. Most definitely this was a legal framework for what was in fact criminal activity, which saw the early deaths of 30 per cent of these "labour recruits", buried in unmarked graves across north-eastern Australia. It was illegal to bring children under the age of 16 unless accompanied by an adult.

  • The Aboriginal Miners and Prospectors of Cape York Peninsula 1870 to Ca.1950S
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 16, October 2018 The Aboriginal miners and prospectors of Cape York Peninsula 1870 to ca.1950s By GALIINA ELLWOOD James Cook University t is a common assumption among many Australian historians that frontier violence between Aboriginal peoples and colonisers was the norm. This, it is believed, was I inevitably followed by resistance to invasion being subsequently crushed over varying periods of time and the remnant of traditional owners being then assimilated into the lowest rung of the European culture and economy, while being deprived of their civil rights by ‘protection’ Acts.1 This is true of some times and places, but is not true everywhere, and particularly not on Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula where Aboriginal people were miners and prospectors of importance to the Queensland economy. So important were they that officials were apt to wink at their independence from government controls, an attitude helped by the isolation of the area from the control of officials in the bigger towns and Brisbane. Aboriginal prospectors and miners in the area found goldfields and tinfields, mined for tin, gold and wolfram either by themselves, for an employer, or with a white ‘mate’. Further, they owned or worked mills and prospecting drill plants, and undertook ancillary activities such as hauling supplies. What is more, their families have continued mining up to the present day. Despite their considerable role in the industry, they have been written out of the mining history of Cape York, a trend which has unfortunately continued up to today. This article, along with earlier work2 is intended to redress the omission.

  • 361 BLACKBIRDING a Brief History of the South Sea Islands
    361 BLACKBIRDING A brief history of the South Sea Islands Labour Traffic and the vessels engaged in it. (Paper by E. V. STEVENS read at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., 23rd March 1950) Old Wine in New Bottles! ... An inadequate tri­ bute to those ruffians whose salty tales, told in Mar­ tin's Ship Chandlery, spiced with the odour of tarred hemp, canvas and cordage, stirred the imagination of a small boy sixty years ago: specially to John Poro from whom came many a welcome sixpence for some small act of service rendered. To me John Poro was a nice old gentleman; I still think so despite the later knowledge, that he was indicted, though discharged for manslaughter. This paper consists of two sections, one dealing with the subject from a different angle, I hope, from those previously presented. No stress has been laid upon the ethical, economic, or legislative implications. The object sought has been to give a general and ob­ jective view of this colourful period. The second sec­ tion of this paper contains a brief record of some 130 vessels engaged in recruiting South Sea Island labour since its beginning in 1863 to its conclusion in 1902; this as a record of vessels, masters, incidents, and fates is of no immediate interest but, documented reasonably well, may prove of service to some more ex­ haustive future survey. The task attempted would have been well nigh im­ possible had it not been for assistance rendered by our fellow-member, Mr. J. H. C McClurg, and Capt.
