The oldest records, back to early 1500s, use the name Holla and over Holla or Hollow was recorded became the name that some the centuries a gradual change occurred until the surname families identified with. Holla ceased being used in the mid 1800s. The earliest record using the surname Hallo is the baptism of Note: The parish of St Just included quite a large area Johan Hallo in 1683 at Quethiock, not a parish that any around St Just (see map). There Holla was known to frequent. The next was Grace Hallo in 1704 at Paul. The entry reads “Grace the daughter of James Hallo are many villages in the parish. The baptism records show the (nation- Gall--) was Baptized May 7th 1704”. The “nation- Gall—“ Hallo family lived in the villages reference suggests James may have been from Gaul ie France.

  • Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead.

She asks us to remember that Holman achieved this while navigating the shoals of the ‘almost impenetrable’ masculine privilege which was part of her world and was (and remains) ‘invisible to those who continue to enjoy it.’ Holman appeared to understand that men can’t or won’t see that their definitions of merit and their expectations about performance are nothing more than rules they have made up to protect their own positions, albeit often unconsciously. Rather than confronting this privilege head on (although she used wit to good effect to draw attention to it), Holman showed by her actions that what is required of a member of parliament has nothing to do with a person’s gender.

ABSTRACT This study into the relationship between mining and the performing arts during the second half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, a transformative period in the economic, social, and cultural history of Australia, investigates the interconnectedness and interdependence of the two components, mining and the performing arts, and demonstrates how each contributed to the support and development of the other.

  • A Social History of Music in Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and Boulder
    A Social History of Music in Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and Boulder 1892 to 1908 by Jean E Farrant BA MusB (Hons) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Music Department, University of Western Australia February 1992 Resume The Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia developed very rapidly from the time that gold was first discovered at Coolgardie in 1892. Many of the townships which sprang up so quickly all over the region had a very short life, while others continued to thrive for some years. Kalgoorlie, which was soon to become the centre for the goldfields, is still a city today with a sizeable population, although its fortunes have waxed and waned over the years. This study traces the growth of musical activities in three of the towns of the area from their earliest beginnings to the peak of their prosperity. (In the case of Coolgardie, its rapid decline at the beginning of the century will also be noted.) The survey finishes in 1908, the year that imressive town hall buildings were opened in Boulder and Kalgoorlie respectively. Music was part of nearly every social acitivity of the day and there were attempts to establish the same types of musical organisations in each town. However, it will be demonstrated that certain musical groups flourished more successfully than others in the three townships selected for study, reflecting differences in background and interests of the local inhabitants. There was a strong community spirit in these townships clearly shown in the large sums of money raised for charity through music and the notion of a special goldfields ethos kept alive, in part, in organisations such as the Coolgardie Liedertafel, which held reunions long after its members had left the town.
