  • 1 the Shako on Display Is a Replica of the Military Head Dress Worn by Capt Charles Sturt and Capt Collet Barker of the 39Th
    SHAKO The shako on display is a replica of the military head dress worn by Capt Charles Sturt and Capt Collet Barker of the 39th Dorsetshire Regiment of Foot in 1813. Both men came to New South Wales as convict guards in 1827 having gained their captaincy’s while serving in Ireland. Both were inextricably linked to South Australia. Capt Sturt having solved the riddle of the inland river system that led him to the mouth of the River Murray and Capt Barker who explored the Adelaide plains and met an untimely death at the mouth of the River Murray. Sturt’s expedition journals and the accompanying account by Barker, served to determine the foundation of South Australia. Made on request: By Farthingales, Bath, England and donated by Paul Eshmade. The shako or military hat, originated from the Hungarian name caskos silveg (peaked cap) which was a part of the uniform of the Hungarian Hussar of the 18th century. Other spellings include chako, czako, schako and tschako. From 1800 onwards the shako became a common military head dress, worn by the majority of regiments in the armies of Europe and Americas. (Wikipeida) The 1800 the shako was made of leather and was decorated with a large brass plate on the front. This proved too heavy and was changed to a lacquered felt version with the same plate. In front or to the side, and above the black cockade, was a short tuft, coloured according to company. White over red for the centre company, white for the grenadier and green for the light infantry companies.

The contents of this booklet have been printed with the express permission of Mr Ronald Parsons, to whom we give thanks for his dedication in collating the concise history of Australia’s paddle steamers.

  • Early European Interaction with Aboriginal Hunters and Gatherers on Kangaroo Island, South Australia
    Early European interaction with Aboriginal hunters and gatherers on Kangaroo Island, South Australia Philip A. Clarke The earlier written history of European settlement in Australia generally portrays the Aboriginal inhabitants as being at best inconsequential or at worst a hindrance to the development of a Western nation. For instance, early this century, Blacket gave his impression of the role of Aboriginal people in the early years of European settlement in South Australia by saying These children of the bush...gave the early settlers much trouble.'639582*l1 Similar opinions of South Australian history were later provided by Price and Gibbs.“ However, elsewhere modern scholars, such as Baker and Reynolds, are putting forward views that Aboriginal people had important roles in the setting up of the British colonies across Australia.' They demonstrate that the contribution of Aboriginal people to the colonising process has been an underestimated aspect of Australian history. Following this argument, I am concerned here with assessing the importance of Aboriginal hunter/gatherer knowledge and technology to the early European settlement of South Australia. Kangaroo Island is where the first unofficial settlements were established by European sealers, who brought with them Aboriginal people from Tasmania, and obtained others from the adjacent coastal areas of South Australia. This is an important region for the study of the early phases of European interaction with Aboriginal people. Thus, this paper is primarily a discussion of how and what European settlers absorbed from Aboriginal people and their landscape. The period focussed upon is from the early nineteenth century to just after the foundation of the Colony of South Australia in 1836.

  • Chapter 8 'Survival Against All Odds': the Indigenous Population Of
    Chapter 8 ‘Survival against all odds’: The Indigenous population of metropolitan Perth, 1829–2001 Neville Green Abstract: An 1836 name census of the known tribes identified fewer than 200 men, women and children in what may be regarded as the modern Perth metropolitan area. A survey in 1947, excluding those in institutions, counted 157 men, women and children, and at the 2001 national census the Perth metropolitan Indigenous population was beyond 23 000. This chapter examines the major shifts in population through a range of published data and archival sources and considers factors such as violence, disease, migration, legislation and policies. A unique feature of this chapter is the use of name census reports of the nineteenth century and Indigenous biographical dictionaries to trace names over several decades. Introduction Noongar territory in the south-west of Australia approximates the area of mainland Victoria and was mapped by Tindale in 1940 into 12 distinct tribal groups, now collectively known as the Noongar, with one, the Whadjuck, less than 10 percent of the domain, having within its boundaries the greater Perth metropolitan area, including the Swan and Canning rivers and their tributaries (Tindale 1940). Within the set limits for this chapter, I revisit the shifts in the Indigenous population of this small region after the arrival of British settlers in 1829. The American author Mark Twain popularised the phrase ‘There are lies, damned lies, and statistics’, and all three enemies of the truth are seen in reports and publications when population data is used for personal or political gain or to support an illogical thesis.

  • Attachment 8.5.1
    The Thematic Framework 1. Aboriginal Society The Denmark Shire lies in the Bibbulmun cultural area which is part of the wider Noongar country region, although the area just west of the Hay River is typically an area of overlap where, prior to European settlement, both Bibbulmun and Minang groups met regularly for ceremonial and economic purposes. As such, Noongar Elders now consider it important to consult representatives from both groups on cultural heritage and natural resource management activities in Denmark town and the eastern part of the Denmark Shire. Bibbulmun and Minang country is deep in the Noongar cultural bloc. The Noongar people are the traditional people of the southwest region of Australia with their own distinctive language and cultural practices, as distinct from their semi-desert dwelling neighbours. In their evidence to the Federal Court hearings (Federal Court of Australia 2006:38), the Noongar claimants noted that the southwest region: … was occupied and used by Aboriginal people who spoke dialects of a common language and who acknowledged and observed a common body of laws and customs. Those Aboriginal people recognized local and regional names within the broader society but shared a commonality of belief, language, custom and material culture, which distinguished them from neighbouring Aboriginal groups and societies. Responsibility for and control, particular areas of land and waters, were exercised by sub-groups or families, but the laws and customs under which the sub-groups possessed those rights and interests were the laws and customs of the broader society. The Bibbulmun and Minang people represent regional sub-groups of the broader Noongar cultural bloc.

Ltd., Esperance Museum Village, Esperance, Western Australia #Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Through a lens of Human Niche Construction theory, we examine Noongar (an indigenous people of south western Australia) relationships with southwestern Australian flora and suggest influences of these relationships on contemporary botanical patterns in this global biodiversity hotspot. By conducting a review of historical and contemporary literature and drawing upon the contemporary knowledge of Noongar Elders, we examine the merits of five key hypotheses of human niche construction theory in relation to this large cultural group. We find compelling evidence that supports Noongar niche construction, but caution that further research is required to test its likely ecological and evolutionary outcomes. We suggest that further collaborative, multi-disciplinary research that applies Noongar and Western science will lead to a greater understanding of the biological assets of southwestern Australia. Keywords: human niche construction, Noongar, indigenous knowledge, biodiversity hotspot, biological diversity, OCBIL INTRODUCTION To this end, new approaches need to be explored.
