Before I enter into the details I deem it necessary to state, for the information of His Majesty's Government, that I am a native of New South Wales, and that for the last six years I have been most actively employed in endeavoring to civilize the Aboriginal Natives of Van Diemen's Land, and in order to enable the local Government of this Colony to carry that important object into full effect, I procured from New South Wales eleven aboriginal Natives of New Holland, who were, under my guidance, mainly instrumental in carrying into effect the humane objects of this Government · towards the Aborigines of this Island. I also deem it necessary to state that I have been for many years impressed with the opinion that a most advantag·eous Settlement might be formed at Western Port, or Port Phillip, and that, in 1827, Mr.

  • SL Magazine Summer Edition 2017-18
    –Magazine for members Summer 2017–18 Painting by numbers: Ferdinand Bauer Message Dear readers, visitors and friends, What a privilege it is to be State Librarian, responsible for one of the best loved and most important institutions in Australia. Since I began on 28 August, I have encountered nothing but enthusiasm, good will and a broad desire to see the Library continue to flourish and grow — a tribute to the three State Librarians with whom I have worked over the years, Regina Sutton, Alex Byrne and Lucy Milne. I also pay tribute to a remarkable generation of recent curators and librarians, now retired, including the likes of Paul Brunton, Alan Davies and Elizabeth Ellis. This time next year the Library will be a very different place — with more of its unique treasures on public show than ever before thanks to a great partnership between the NSW Government and our benefactors led by Michael Crouch AC, who is driving a major development of new galleries in the Mitchell wing, and John B Fairfax AO, who is behind a new learning centre being created in the same building. You can find a little more about the plans for the next phase of the Library’s history inside these pages, but I would like to mention a special event in November which draws attention to another very important aspect of the Library’s work — collaboration with scholars and scientists. For some years, the Belalberi Foundation (led by Peter Crossing AM and Sally Crossing AM) has generously supported original research into Australian natural history at the Library, and on 16 November we are launching a book and special online exhibition marking the culmination of this remarkable, long term project.

The authors, years ago, saw the importance of preserving documents and records, which would give authentic data concerning the early times of this Church. In the year 1881, the Victoria and Tasmania Conference directed them to collect such materials, and this request was repeated by the General Conference of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church. That trust has been considered a positive and sacred duty by them, and they have fulfilled it with some success, having been largely aided by numerous friends and Circuit authorities, who possessed such records. They sought also to obtain oi'al or written statements from such of the early pioneers who survive to the present time, and they are greatly indebted for such information kindly given by the Revs. W. Butters, J. Harcourt, J. C. Symons, M. Dyson, and Messrs. Witton, Beaver, Stone, the Tuckfield family, Mrs.

  • Catherine Connelly
    CATHERINE CONNELLY: CONVICT, INNKEEPER AND LITIGANT Ian Leader-Elliott1 Female Convicts Research Centre Seminar: Succeeding in the regular economy: the after- math of convict sentences. Saturday 9 May 2015. Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, Hobart [Author’s note: this is a draft paper which provided the basis for the seminar presentation. Some footnotes have been omitted, some are incomplete. Please do not publish in part or in whole without the permission of the author.] Abstract: The seminar programme celebrates convict women who succeeded in the regular economy after serving their time. The story of Catherine Connelly is atypical, a variation on the theme. Catherine was born free and convicted, together with her husband John, of receiving stolen goods in Tasmania in 1836. Her conviction was quickly neutralized by a pardon, granted for no apparent reason. After her pardon Catherine resumed her occupation as a Launceston innkeeper for some years. John Connelly served his time and subsequently remarried, bigamously. Catherine’s re- course to law to secure maintenance from her bigamous husband provides the central theme in this account of her life. It is the story of Catherine’s successful pursuit of a man who never paid his debts unless compelled to do so, who was compelled to pay maintenance to his wife. John Connelly, who displaced his wife with another, was hu- miliated and gaoled. As in many law suits, the money at issue in Catherine’s claim against her husband was not the most important thing. The regular economy includes the economy of the legal system which permits a quest for vengeance to be trans- muted into a courtroom contest in which money is the medium, not the message.

Signed AUTHORITY OF ACCESS This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance With the Copyright Act 1968. Signed •/1-1///---- i'2-41/° I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines and compares two natural resource management regimes, those of the Australian State of Tasmania and the sovereign state of Taiwan, with a focus upon their respective terrestrial natural reserve systems. Recommendations for future improvements are made for both islands. Taiwan is an island about half the size of Tasmania, yet the former has a population more than 48 times greater than the latter. The two island ecosystems are similar in some respects, but the contrasts are more marked than the similarities. It would be beneficial for both islands to share their experiences of natural resource management. This study undertakes such a comparison with a view to facilitating exchange of knowledge in the field of environmental management.
