  • Australian Settler Bush Huts and Indigenous Bark-Strippers: Origins and Influences
    Australian settler bush huts and Indigenous bark-strippers: Origins and influences Ray Kerkhove and Cathy Keys [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article considers the history of the Australian bush hut and its common building material: bark sheeting. It compares this with traditional Aboriginal bark sheeting and cladding, and considers the role of Aboriginal ‘bark strippers’ and Aboriginal builders in establishing salient features of the bush hut. The main focus is the Queensland region up to the 1870s. Introduction For over a century, studies of vernacular architectures in Australia prioritised European high-style colonial vernacular traditions.1 Critical analyses of early Australian colonial vernacular architecture, such as the bush or bark huts of early settlers, were scarce.2 It was assumed Indigenous influences on any European-Australian architecture could not have been consequential.3 This mirrored the global tendency of architectural research, focusing on Western tradi- tions and overlooking Indigenous contributions.4 Over the last two decades, greater appreciation for Australian Indigenous archi- tectures has arisen, especially through Paul Memmott’s ground-breaking Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley: The Indigenous Architecture of Australia (2007). This was recently enhanced by Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture (2018) and the Handbook of Indigenous Architecture (2018). The latter volumes located architec- tural expressions of Indigenous identity within broader international movements.5 Despite growing interest in the crossover of Australian Indigenous architectural expertise into early colonial vernacular architectures,6 consideration of intercultural architectural exchange remains limited.7 This article focuses on the early settler Australian bush hut – specifically its widespread use of bark sheets as cladding.

  • NZ Sociology 28:3
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AUT Scholarly Commons Crothers Appendix: The New Zealand Literature on Social Class/Inequality Charles Crothers A broad account of the New Zealand class system can be readily assembled from popularly-available sources such as the item in the official New Zealand online Encyclopaedia Te Ara or the Wikipedia entry, together with common knowledge. Having provided a sketch, this appendix then goes on to provide a brief overview and then listing of a bibliography on Social Class/Inequality in New Zealand. Traditional Māori society was strongly based on rank, which derived from ancestry (whakapapa). There were three classes – chiefs, commoners and slaves - with very limited mobility between them. Chiefs were almost invariably descended from other chiefs, although those in line to take up a chieftainship would be bypassed in favour of a younger brother if they did not show aptitude. In some tribes exceptional women could emerge to take on leadership roles. Prisoners of war were usually enslaved with no rights and often a low life expectancy. However, children of slaves were free members of the tribe. Contemporary Māori society is far less hierarchical and there are a variety of routes to prominence. European settlement of New Zealand came with a ready-made class structure imposed by the division between cabin and steerage passengers with the former mainly constituting middle class with a sprinkling of upper class ‘settlers’. This shipboard class division was reinforced by the Wakefield settlement system which endeavoured to reproduce a cross-section of UK society in the colony, with the mechanism that capital was needed by the middle/upper class to provide the frame in which the working class voyagers (they were only retrospectively entitled to be termed ‘settlers’) could be put to work.

  • PIONEER HOMESTEADS of NORTH QUEENSLAND Ms. Ray Sumner
    PIONEER HOMESTEADS OF NORTH QUEENSLAND Ms. Ray Sumner The history and development of housing on the Northern pastoral properties is in many aspects essentially the same as that in the cities. In fact many successful graziers maintained a city house as well, in (Hiarters Towers or a southern city. Of more significance in the total history of tropical domestic architecture, however, was the scope for originality both in materials and in design, occasioned by necessity and by poor communication. In the coastal cities building materials were readily available from the south by ship and a basic design soon evolved which resisted variation for over half a century. While the Isolation of the pastoral properties insulated them from the vagaries of prevailing 'fashion' even in housing, there was also no pressure on the land to encourage demolition and re-development with higher density type housing so prevalent in the older parts of most cities. Therefore It is possible to find some of the huts and houses of pioneer builders still standing today and virtually unchanged in appearance since their erection. Temporary Shelters In the 1850's a number of pastorallst explorers moved north, some­ times with their flocks, to take up new grazing runs. These Included such well known families as the Alllnghams, Cunninghams, J.M. Black and J.G. Macdonald. The camps moved to a new spot almost every night, and the climate was so mild that a blanket was usually the only shelter needed. It provided warmth on a cool night, or was draped over a tree in a tent shape on a wet night.
