The AAvHF is the national professional Association of von Humboldt Fellows in Australia. Membership is open to any Australian resident previously awarded a Fellowship or Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvHF) and to any visiting Lynen Fellow from Germany, researching at an Australian Institution. The AAvHF facilitates professional and social contact amongst Humboldtians in Australia, as well as encouraging new and existing links between members and German researchers. It also provides a focus to reciprocate the most generous hospitality afforded Australian scholars visiting Germany under the auspices of the AvHF. While functions involving Humboldtians are held from time to time at the State level, the AAvHF Biennial Conference provides a unique opportunity for researchers from many disciplines to gather together to present the results of their research which may represent their own individual work within Australia, or from periods spent overseas and, in particular, from research in collaboration with their German colleagues. For the Fourteenth Conference, it was pleasing to be able to welcome a number of New Zealand Humboldtians, several of whom presented papers from their recent research. In an age when research projects are often shrinking in their overall perspective of a particular discipline, it remains an ongoing challenge, in the true spirit of Alexander von Humboldt, to present a paper to an AAvHF Biennial Conference at which ones audience will be representative of the physical and biological sciences, the humanities, the arts, etc. The collection of papers presented in this book, which have been prepared from 11 of the 19 presentations at the Conference, attest to this multidisciplinary scholarship. All papers published have been peer-reviewed by two professional researchers and modifications/corrections carried out by authors in response to these two reviewers’ reports. The conference was officially opened by the German Ambassador, Dr. Christoph Müller, and the text of his opening remarks provides the Introduction to this book. In addition, two invited papers followed on the opening night of the conference by Professor Dr. Steffen Lehmann, University of South Australia and a DAAD Alumnus, and Professor Ian Frazer, University of Queensland. Several DAAD Alumni were able to attend these invited lectures. A most enjoyable dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour had been organised for the Saturday evening together with pleasant and appropriate Tafelmusik from the Carinya Strings Ensemble. A feature of this evening was an after-dinner presentation entitled, “Could Alexander von Humboldt have Played Cricket?” A paper with this title, resulting from the research undertaken in preparing this presentation, has also been included in this booklet, following its peer-review. The financial support afforded to the Conference by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Neuroscience Research Australia, The University of Western Sydney, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), is gratefully acknowledged. Sincere thanks must also be recorded to the local Committee, Associate Professor Kay Double (Neuroscience Research Australia), Dr. Maria Nowotny (Solar Energy Technology Research Group, University of Western Sydney) and Professor Rob Robson (School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, James Cook University), for the organisation of a most successful Conference. Trevor R. Finlayson Editor iii iv Introduction It is with great pleasure that I take the opportunity to address this distinguished forum at your Biennial Meeting. Having arrived to Australia only three weeks ago I am still overwhelmed by all the new impressions, certainly at a place like Sydney! I regard it as a lucky coincidence to meet with members of one of Germany’s most prestigious science organizations at such an early stage of my new posting. The Alexander von Humboldt Community in Australia and New Zealand presents itself as a strong and thriving alliance, with a great number of current and former scholarship- holders working at the forefront of academic cooperation and progress. Intercultural exchange in science was triggered by Humboldt himself, starting already in the late 18th century. We are right at the core of one the most decisive developments in international science: enhancement of international scientific cooperation. What is the German Government doing about it these days? Occasions like this weekend conference provide the perfect setting for researchers to interact and to receive new impulses for future projects. These networking opportunities are of growing significance since the educational and research sector worldwide has undergone major changes. The allocations of responsibilities between public and private research are in a state of flux, opening up a broad range of study and research possibilities for students and scientists worldwide. Despite Germany`s excellent reputation as an educational stronghold, it is becoming increasingly difficult for German universities to compete in the globalized education market. The only way to conquer these challenges is to realize that there cannot be excellence in education without international relations at its core. If Germany, as one of the world’s most innovative and export-oriented nations, wants to stay at the forefront of research developments, it is of paramount importance to promote cooperation with universities and other educational providers worldwide. In order to support the German education sector, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has launched its strategy for the Internationalization of Science and Research in February, 2008. The initiative aims at supporting the international exchange of students and researchers, while discouraging the loss of top-class scientists, i.e., permanent emigration. Moreover, the accessibility of innovative potential worldwide to German enterprises shall be ensured through the program. With the project, “German educational offers abroad” for example, Germany is entering a market that was formerly dominated by American and British education investments. With 27 projects so far, the German Academic Exchange Service has encouraged German educational institutions to create German universities and other tertiary education centres in foreign countries, for example, in Singapore, Ho-Chi-Minh City and Cairo. Furthermore, the GAIN (German Academic International Network) project also plays an important role in encouraging scientists to return to Germany, for example, by organizing conferences such as the most recent one this month in San Francisco. The initiative, founded in 2003, has become a well established organization with over 3,000 registered researchers building sustainable relationships, especially in North America. Besides projects abroad, also the creation of attractive offers inside of Germany is an important tool. For example, a number of academic prizes serve as further impulses for the influx of high-class researchers. Among them are the Sofja-Kovalevskaja Prize and the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship. Alongside improved university-marketing such as the “Hi!-Potentials” campaign and extended partnerships with universities worldwide, Germany`s university landscape is becoming increasingly international. v However, it is not only Germany that is facing the problem of increasing competitiveness in the education sector. The Australian education landscape is also undergoing drastic structural changes. Within the framework of the innovative agenda, “Powering ideas – an Innovation Strategy for the 21st Century”, the government raised the research budget to A$8.58m, meaning an increase of 25% compared to the previous years.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum – Culture 7(2): 541-559. Brisbane. ISSN 1440-4788 This paper examines Ludwig Leichhardt’s early Australian diaries, spanning from April 1842 until July 1844, in relation to his cultural legacy. Although Leichhardt’s standing as an explorer was initially established following the success of his journey to Port Essington in 1844-46, his reputation in Australia was later damaged by controversies arising from rival accounts of both this first journey and particularly of the second expedition of 1846-47. These controversies, at times informed by anti-Prussian and later by anti-German prejudices, have dominated Leichhardt’s reception in Australia, while at the same time diverting attention from his German cultural background and the ways in which it may have influenced his writings on Australia.

  • A Re-Examination of William Hann´S Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.

  • Influences of German Science and Scientists on Melbourne Observatory
    CSIRO Publishing The Royal Society of Victoria, 127, 43–58, 2015 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rs 10.1071/RS15004 INFLUENCES OF GERMAN SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS ON MELBOURNE OBSERVATORY Barry a.J. Clark Astronomical Society of Victoria Inc. PO Box 1059, GPO Melbourne 3001 Correspondence: Barry Clark, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The multidisciplinary approach of Alexander von Humboldt in scientific studies of the natural world in the first half of the nineteenth century gained early and lasting acclaim. Later, given the broad scientific interests of colonial Victoria’s first Government Astronomer Robert Ellery, one could expect to find some evidence of the Humboldtian approach in the operations of Williamstown Observatory and its successor, Melbourne Observatory. On examination, and without discounting the importance of other international scientific contributions, it appears that Melbourne Observatory was indeed substantially influenced from afar by Humboldt and other German scientists, and in person by Georg Neumayer in particular. Some of the ways in which these influences acted are obvious but others are less so. Like the other Australian state observatories, in its later years Melbourne Observatory had to concentrate its diminishing resources on positional astronomy and timekeeping. Along with Sydney Observatory, it has survived almost intact to become a heritage treasure, perpetuating appreciation of its formative influences. Keywords: Melbourne Observatory, 19th century, Neumayer, German science The pioneering holistic approach of Alexander von (Geoscience Australia 2015). In 1838 Carl Friedrich Gauss Humboldt in his scientific expeditions to study the natural helped put Humboldt’s call into practice by setting up world had a substantial, lasting and international influence the Göttinger Magnetische Verein (Göttingen Magnetic on a broad range of scientific fields.

  • MITCHELL Versus LEICHHARDT
    179 A STUDY IN COMPARISONS: MITCHELL versus LEICHHARDT [By KATHLEEN EMMERSON] Comparisons are odious, is an old saying, but often they give us valuable "measuring sticks." The century-old argument as to which inland discoverer gave to what became Queensland its greater areas of valu­ able country: viz., Surveyor-General T. Mitchell or free­ lancing Ludwig Leichhardt, has never been answered. To give a correct reply, the work of a computer would be needed, to take down aU the summaries to be found in Pugh's Almanacs, Year Books, and others since 1860. LEICHHARDT'S NO. 1 BLACKFELLOW, "CHARLEY" ON JOURNEY TO PORT ESSINGTON, 1844-45. Charley's Creek, a tributary of the lower Condamine River, was named after him. "A man of uncertain temper but a first class 'cutter of bends,' also a peerless tracker." Sketch copied ftom Leichhardt's Journal of Overland Expedition to Port Essington. The beautiful Fitzroy Downs country (which enchanted young Tom Archer and his mates in 1847) as well as land adjoining the Balonne River and its northern tributaries, have in a hundred years yielded much wool and all that went with it as well as, in the course of time, beef, which had to be 180 overlanded for sale at Wodonga on the Murray, timber also (mostly in this century). The oil from Moonie, gas from Roma (both of tremend­ ous value these modern days), also their wheat, wine and grapes are items not to "be sneezed at." These and other developments make up a vast contribu­ tion from Mitchell's Country. "A BLANKY COASTER" It is not presumptuous to assert that Leichhardt's efforts— and how much more difficult his journeys were than those of the well-equipped Government servant, Mitchell—have yielded more and greater results than his rival.

  • We Would Rather Be Ruined Than Changed We Would Rather Die in Our Dread Than Climb the Cross of the Moment and Let Our Illusions Die W.H
    SOME EARLY ILLUSIONS CONCERNING NORTH QUEENSLAND Ray Sumner Department of Geography James Cook University of North Queensland We would rather be ruined than changed We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die W.H. Auden Our assessment of any landscape results as much from how we view it as from the reality of what is actually there. As Brookfield said "decision makers operating in an environment base their decisions on the environ- ment as they perceive it, not as it is". 1 The Europeans who explored tropical Queensland entered an unknown land which they were required to examine and then offer an assessment of its potential. Since the environment confronted the explorers with a situation of complete uncertainty, a subjective error component was inevitable in their description and analysis, but in fact their reaction to the new environment was affected by what they wanted to see, or thought they saw, as much as by what was actually there. The image of new country recounted by each explorer resulted largely from his response to visual stimuli in the new environment. Since observation and interpretation are enhanced by some degree of familiarity, a history of prior exploration in the south might be expected to improve the performance of explorers in the Tropics, but this was no criterion for an objective appraisal of the new areas. After three successful journeys of exploration in southern states, the Surveyor-General Major (later Sir) Thomas Mitchell concluded his trip to central Queensland with a spectacular blunder; Edmund Kennedy had a background of inland journeys, but died in a disastrous attempt on Cape York.

Georg Balthasar Neumayer (1826–1909) was probably the most important figure in establishing mari- time services and ocean research in Germany, after he spent several years in Australia as a young scientist. He succeeded to found the ‘Deutsche Seewarte’ in Hamburg, the predecessor of the modern BSH (Bunde- samt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie—Federal Martime and Hydrographic Agency) in Hamburg and Rostock and established a wide range of maritime services by providing sailing instructions for merchant vessels.

Humboldt and Hansteen had turned to geomagnetism. Through the “G,ottinger Mag- netischer Verein”, a worldwide cooperation under the leadership of Gauss came into existence. Even today, Gauss’s theory of geomagnetism is one of the pillars of geomagnetic research. Thereafter, J.v. Lamont, in Munich, took over the leadership in Germany. In England, the Magnetic Crusade was started by the initiative of John Herschel and E. Sabine. At the beginning of the 1840s, James Clarke Ross advanced to the vicinity of the southern magnetic pole on the Antarctic Continent, which was then quite unknown. Ten years later, Sabine was able to demonstrate solar–terrestrial relations from the data of the colonial observatories. In the 1980s, Arthur Schuster, following Balfour Stewart’s ideas, succeeded in interpreting the daily variations of the electrical process in the high atmosphere. Geomagnetic research work in Germany was given a fresh impetus by the programme of the First Polar Year 1882–1883. Georg Neumayer, director of the “Deutsche Seewarte” in Hamburg, was one of the initiators of the Polar Year.
