  • 'The Happiest Time of My Life …': Emotive Visitor Books and Early
    ‘The happiest time of my life …’: Emotive visitor books and early mission tourism to Victoria’s Aboriginal reserves1 Nikita Vanderbyl On the afternoon of 16 January 1895, a group of visitors to the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, gathered to perform songs and hymns with the Aboriginal residents of Lake Tyers Aboriginal Mission. Several visitors from the nearby Lake Tyers House assisted with the preparations and an audience of Aboriginal mission residents and visitors spent a pleasant summer evening performing together and enjoying refreshments. The ‘program’ included an opening hymn by ‘the Aborigines’ followed by songs and hymns sung by friends of the mission, the missionary’s daughter and a duet by two Aboriginal women, Mrs E. O’Rourke and Mrs Jennings, who in particular received hearty applause for their performance of ‘Weary Gleaner’. The success of this shared performance is recorded by an anonymous hand in the Lake Tyers visitor book, noting that 9 pounds 6 shillings was collected from the enthusiastic audience.2 The missionary’s wife, Caroline Bulmer, was most likely responsible for this note celebrating the success of an event that stands out among the comments of visitors to Lake Tyers. One such visitor was a woman named Miss Florrie Powell who performed the song ‘The Old Countess’ after the duet by Mrs O’Rourke and Mrs Jennings. She wrote effusively in the visitor book that ‘to give you an idea 1 Florrie Powell 18 January 1895, Lake Tyers visitor book, MS 11934 Box 2478/5, State Library of Victoria.

  • Aurorae in Australian Aboriginal Traditions
    Hamacher, D.W. (2014) Journal of Astronomical History & Heritage, Vol. 17(1), preprint Aurorae in Australian Aboriginal Traditions Duane W. Hamacher Nura Gili Centre for Indigenous Programs, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract Transient celestial phenomena feature prominently in the astronomical knowledge and traditions of Aboriginal Australians. In this paper, I collect accounts of the Aurora Australis from the literature regarding Aboriginal culture. Using previous studies of meteors, eclipses, and comets in Aboriginal traditions, I anticipate that the physical properties of aurora, such as their generally red colour as seen from southern Australia, will be associated with fire, death, blood, and evil spirits. The survey reveals this to be the case and also explores historical auroral events in Aboriginal cultures, aurorae in rock art, and briefly compares Aboriginal auroral traditions with other global indigenous groups, including the Maori of New Zealand. Keywords: Cultural Astronomy, Ethnoastronomy, Geomythology, Aboriginal Australians, Aurora Australis, and Space Science. 1 Introduction Oral tradition and material culture are the mechanisms by which knowledge about the natural world is transmitted to successive generations of Aboriginal Australians. These traditions contain a significant astronomical component (Haynes 1992; Johnson 1998; Norris & Hamacher 2009) useful for navigation, calendars, and food economics (Clarke 2007; Hamacher & Norris 2011c; Hamacher 2012:71-86). Aboriginal people would move from place to place within their country to seek out food sources and shelter throughout the year. The motions and positions of celestial bodies with respect to the surrounding landscape were of great importance to this end, signaling the changing seasons and the availability of particular food sources.
