It is also 50 years since she died. She inculcated in me a love for the garden and the surrounding landscape and was proud that I earned my fi rst £1 writing an article for a Melbourne paper, and the second £1 out in the country picking peas. These interests have been encouraged and tolerated over the years by my husband Bruce and my children, now adults themselves, who oversaw my writing of magazines for dog clubs, the land and coastcare group, and various short histories in Tasmania. This is my fi rst published book. I owe a great deal to the following people for assistance with my research: Fonda Arnold, Robin Barker, Doug Chipman, Adrian Collins, Adrian Howard (FOSMA), Julie Davidson, Freda Gray, Audrey Hudspeth, Peter MacFie, Mary McKinlay, Peter Mercer, Robin Pulford, John Sargent, Wayne Smith, Lyn Thorp, Phil Watson and Reg Watson. My thanks also, to the Anglican Diocesan Offi ce for access to their records; to staff at the Archives Offi ce of Tasmania, the Allport Museum, The Mercury, Tasmanian Heritage Council, Tasmaniana Library, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, The State Parliamentary Library, and especially to staff at Clarence City Council. Thanks also to my husband Bruce for his immense knowledge and interest in the Rokeby Mill as well as in Robert Nash; Dr. Stuart Blackler for fostering my interest in Robert Knopwood; Pat Edwards of the Hermitage Garden, UK, for her great assistance in fi lling in the gaps in the ‘Vigar’ research; Lindsay Luddington of Flinders Island; Mary Ramsay of ‘Ratho’ for our shared interest in Rev. Robert Wilson; Bill Read formerly of Land Titles Offi ce and Tony Naughton of the Nomenclature Board; Richard Tuffi n of Austral Archæology who introduced me to the art of reading aerial photographs and their use in research; and Gerard Willems for map identifi cation. For devoting time to personal interviews - Dulcie Bowden, Derreck and Phyllis Calvert, Basil Chipman, Trevor Chipman, Kevin Connor, Maurice Connor, Gwen and Bernie Cook, Lesley and Max Dunstone, Marge and Jeff Essen, Marjorie Goodwin, Esther Hutchins, Steve Knight, Mary McKinlay, Brian Richardson, Rose Richardson, Theo Sharples, Len Stanfi eld, Zena Stanfi eld, Ian Stokell, Athol Tollard, David Tollard, Jack Van Dongen, and Mavis Webb – some of whom have sadly left us. These interviews helped to put the places of the area into context and, through their anecdotes, gave me a better understanding of Rokeby life – my grateful thanks. 1 Footprints To the many unnamed people who contributed information, you will know who you are, and I thank you all for your interest. To those who contributed individual photographs, especially Lois Bayley, Doug Chipman, Trevor Chipman, Adrian Collins, Gwen and Bernie Cook, Ian Duffy, Roger Gillam, Wendy Granger, Audrey Hudspeth, Esther Hutchins, Peter Mercer, Sue Potter. David Tollard and Zena Stanfi eld – you were so helpful. To Phillip Tardif, my great appreciation for his permission to use the map ‘Meehan explores to the south of Risdon 4-7 January 1804’ from his excellent book John Bowen’s Hobart. I would also like to acknowledge the Archives Offi ce of Tasmania as the source of the following: An aerial photograph of Rokeby (LSD 353/1/14/11273); The Old Parsonage (TM 15.6.1911); Spectators and Players at a cricket match (TM 9.5.1912); The New Hall at Rokeby (TM March 1914); The Clarence Plains Board of Education School 1860 (30/4660); and the Horse and Jockey Inn (NS 1195/1). The source of Sidney Hall’s 1828 Police District Map (published 1830) is the Tasmaniana Library; House - Main Road, Rokeby (Q14022) from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and Rokeby House after the 1967 bushfi res, from The Mercury. This assistance is much appreciated. To Bruce Andrew for drafting the plans of grants and properties in Rokeby; Ian Boersma for his drawing of the Knopwood Tomb; Ian Duffy and Dean Smith for producing superb images both for the original brochure and the book; and to the Print Centre for ‘putting it all together’ Thank you. I must also acknowledge the importance of three diaries: Firstly the well-known Mary Nicholls’ edition of Knopwood’s diary. Here is a wealth of all sorts of information. In quoting his entries I have, where possible, used his original spelling, quaint and contracted though it may be. Similarly with other quotes, I have endeavoured to use the original form. Short quotes have been shown in plain text, but longer extracts are in italics, throughout the book. The two years of Charles Chipman’s and the twelve years of William Maum Jnr.’s diaries provided useful personal insights into the farming habits of the day. Many people are common to each diary, and there is an interchange of small mentions of each author. I also really appreciated the access to various Chipman documents, the notes of Julie Davidson and the farm records of George Stokell.

  • Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
    Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Margaret C. Dillon. -ii- This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Margaret C. Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure.

  • Parramatta's Archaeological Landscape
    Parramatta’s archaeological landscape Mary Casey Settlement at Parramatta, the third British settlement in Australia after Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island, began with the remaking of the landscape from an Aboriginal place, to a military redoubt and agricultural settlement, and then a township. There has been limited analysis of the development of Parramatta’s landscape from an archaeological perspective and while there have been numerous excavations there has been little exploration of these sites within the context of this evolving landscape. This analysis is important as the beginnings and changes to Parramatta are complex. The layering of the archaeology presents a confusion of possible interpretations which need a firmer historical and landscape framework through which to interpret the findings of individual archaeological sites. It involves a review of the whole range of maps, plans and images, some previously unpublished and unanalysed, within the context of the remaking of Parramatta and its archaeological landscape. The maps and images are explored through the lense of government administration and its intentions and the need to grow crops successfully to sustain the purposes of British Imperialism in the Colony of New South Wales, with its associated needs for successful agriculture, convict accommodation and the eventual development of a free settlement occupied by emancipated convicts and settlers. Parramatta’s river terraces were covered by woodlands dominated by eucalypts, in particular grey box (Eucalyptus moluccana) and forest

    Submission #2045 - Marine Finfish Aquaculture Development in Storm Bay (Tasmania) - West of Wedge Island Title of Proposal - Marine Finfish Aquaculture Development in Storm Bay (Tasmania) - West of Wedge Island Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Aquaculture 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. The proposed action is to farm Atlantic Salmon at a new farming zone in Storm Bay, Tasmania. This zone represents an offshore extension to Tassal's existing marine farming leases (MF 190, MF 193, MF 194 and MF 055) within the Tasman Peninsula and Norfolk Bay Marine Farming Development Plan areas. The proposed new farming zone would be approximately 863 Ha containing four leases of approximately 90 Ha each. Within each 90 Ha lease, surface located marine farming equipment will be up to 45 Ha. Any equipment outside this 45 Ha would be at least 5 metres below the surface at the lease boundary. These dimensions will allow for the establishment of a grid mooring system with the capacity to house 16 pen bays on each of the four leases (a total of 64 pen bays). The proposed action in Storm Bay requires the construction and placement of new marine farming infrastructure in waters to the west of Wedge Island. This infrastructure would include: • Mooring and grid system – comprising of 1 x 16 pen bay mooring grid (within each of four proposed leases). Independent mooring configuration will be used to secure feed barges.

  • Nyungar Tradition
    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI). Nyungar Tradition by Lois Tilbrook is based on the South West Aboriginal Studies project (SWAS) - in which photographs have been assembled, not only from mission and government sources but also, importantly in Part ll, from the families. Though some of these are studio shots, many are amateur snapshots. The main purpose of the project was to link the photographs to the genealogical trees of several families in the area, including but not limited to Hansen, Adams, Garlett, Bennell and McGuire, enhancing their value as visual documents. The AIATSIS Library acknowledges there are varying opinions on the information in this book. An alternative higher resolution electronic version of this book (PDF, 45.5Mb) is available from the following link.
