  • Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland
    Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland: Ronald “Tonky” Logan a Case Study Abstract The ‘Cultural Atlas’ proposed by the PIP (People, Identity, Place) research cluster at James Cook University aims to contextualize cultural communities and artists in North Queensland into a comprehensive profile. Case study Ronald “Tonky” Logan is a North Queensland Aboriginal Country Western musician. The secondary theme of this article is the appropriation of Country Western music by Australian Aboriginal groups as traditional music. This article draws on research by Dunbar-Hall & Gibson (2004), who demonstrate the relevance of contemporary music within Australian Aboriginal contexts, based on location and geography, as a means of establishing people, identity and place. Dr. David Salisbury James Cook University School of Creative Arts Digital Sound Introduction In 2005 the PIP (People, Identity, and Place) research cluster of James Cook University held an annual seminar during which the concept of initiating a Cultural Atlas was proposed. In March 2006 a PIP Cultural Atlas meeting was held and basic concepts were proposed including some preliminary boundaries of latitude 18, south to Bowen and Hayman Island, west to Mt. Isa and north covering the Gulf region (the Torres Strait Islands are not included). Possible outputs could be a Website as a primary means to maintain a collection of data and resources for tourism, focusing on eco and cultural-tourism CD’s and DVD’s. Initially this article aims to establish the context in which the subject of this case study, Ronald ‘Tonky’ Logan, performs and lives by outlining a brief history of Aboriginality in North Queensland along with a brief history of Aboriginal music in the region.
