I ■ -— ' "..................... ----------- FORE W ORE ----------------- The Ji5th April,x815,was a"red-letter day" in the history of Hew South Wales,as it signalled the throwing open of the newly“discovered western country to settlement,and the opening of the new road,which was completed by William uox,and his small gang of labourers in January,of the same year. The discovery of a passage across those hither­ to unassailaole mountains by ulaxland,Lawson and wentworth,after repeated failures by no less than thirteen other expeditions;the extended discoveries beyond Blaxland s furthest point by ueorge William Evans,and the subsequent construction of the road,follow -ed each other in rapid sequence,and proud indeed was i.acquarie, now that his long cherished hopes and ambitions promised to be realised,and a vast,and hitherto unknown region,added to the limited area which for twenty-five years represented the English settlement in Australia. Separated as we are by more than a century of time it is difficult to realise what this sudden expansion meant to the tfeen colony,cribbed,cabbined and confined as it had been by these mysterious mountains,which had guarded their secret so well, '^-'he dread spectre of famine had once again loomed up on the horizon before alaxland s successful expedition had ueen carried out,and the starving stock required newer and fresher pastures if they were to survive. All these things were of the past now, and a well made road,extending from the Nepean to the site .of the future city of Bathurst,invited traffic,and the virgin country into which it led,stood expectantly open,with waiting arms,ready to welcome the first settler willing to posess it. The construction of that first road, wiiich oy reason of the wild and rugged country. through which it passed, presented almost unsurmountable difficulties to that inexperi­ enced band of road engineers,was,in itself,a remarkable under­ taking,and may be classed as one of the most wonderful pieces of engineering in Australian history. With a working strength of only thirty,and having to face the rigours of a mountain winter for the greater part of the time,the story of this work as told in the pages of William Cox s juiary,is not only interesting,but it calls forth admiration for the pluck and perseverance of the leader and his band. Ho hardship was too great;no disappointment too keen,and though failures were frequent,and almost superhuman difliculties presented themselves, uox•s dogged perseverance alone carried him through,and success was his reward at last. The road was commenced on July 7,lol4,and on the 14th January in the following year uox was able to report to o.e ..Oi scqaarie that his .task was finished,and the road ready; j.0- ora.;.lie, A few months were allowed to intervene when,as men Cloned above,the official opening of the road took place on the ensuing &oth April,1S15.

L 1 •• ■ . • ! 2 The Great Western Hoad as contained in his "Memoirs" is worth recording ,as it gives ap. exact idea of the names of those who composed the party,of which Governor Macquarie was the leader.- »...... .On April £5th of that year (1815) Governor macquarie drove his car^- iage across it (the road) ,from Sydney to eathurst..... accompanied by Mrs wlacquarie. The following gentlemen composed the Governor's suite;-Mr Campbell,secretary.,Captain Antill ,Major of Brigade.,Lieutenant Watts taide de ■campj.,Mr Oxley,Surveyor General, ,Mr-Meehan,Depmty-Sur­ veyor General.,Mr Lewin,painter and naturalist, and Mr G. W.Evans,Deputy-Surveyor of Lands..." The importance of this expedition,it might be thought,*oula be heralded with a flourish of trumpets,in th£ press of the day,but beyond a short and concise notice in the "Gazette",stating the fact of the Governor s departure,and the names of those who accompanied him,the opportunity for the ais}- play of a little pardonable rhetoric is not made use of. Prob­ ably optimism on the part of the staff of the Government organ was not encouraged,even if it existed,and the great possibili­ ties of the opening of that first Western road,and its effects on posterity were list sight of. The Governor in an official letter,which i$ also a G0vernment Proclamation,remarks that "....the tour was "undertaken for the purpose of being enabled,personally,to "appreciate the importance of the tract of country lying to th$ "west of the Blue Mountains...." further on he expresses "his astonishment and regret that amongst so large a population no one appeared within the first twenty-five years of the estab­ lishment of this settlement,possessed of sufficient energy of mind to induce him fully to explore a passage over these moun­ tains". This was rather rough on the courageous men who had already made repeated attempts to accomplish this very thing, but had failed. The Governor certainly makes reference to bass and Caley,two of thse very men,but he seems to have been sur­ prisingly ignorant of the very existence of such men as tfarral lier,Tench,^rose,Wilson,and others,not to speak of Governor Phillip,to whom the problem of the mountains,and what lay be­ hind them,appealed very early in his career. Macquarie s journey from day to day is very graphically told in Cox s Memoirs, which contained the text of the above mentioned proclamation. At most of the halting place*; Lewin,the painter,secured lasting mementoes of the Governor's visit,and thse,in the form of a series of exquisite paintings, now in the possession of the Antill family,at Picton,are of th<» greatest historical vaiue,and take the place of the photograph of the present day.

When the party reached the neighbourhood of Lin -den,a curious heap of stones was found at the side of the road to which Macquarie,never at a loss for a name,decided to call "CALEY'S REPULSE”,after the explorer of that name. As a matter of fact,although Macquarie was unaware of it,ualey was never within miles of the place,but "caley s Kepulse" it remained to the end of the chapter. In 1916 a number of members of the then Australian Historical Societyiof which the writer was one,j when searching in this locality for this particular relic,had the good fortune to discover it,or rather what remained of it, the position in which it was found corresponding exactly with the description given in many contemporary works. It has now been restored and a suitable inscription placed thereon. Macquarie;s favorite hobby,the bestowal of names upon the various places met with during the tour,was free­ ly exercised,consequently we have such appellations as the "Kir "King's Tableland".,"Prince Regent;s Glen",,"Mount York".,"val€ of Clwydd".,Biackheath""Clarence Hilly Range".,"Cox s Pass", etc.,etc.,names which have wisely been retained to the present day. The arrival of the party at Mount York is described,and Macquarie's admiration of the pass which Cox had formed down the steep end precipitous sides of this famous mountain,found vent in^eulogistic terms. "As a tribute justly due to him",says Macquarie,"his name was given to this grand and extraordinary pass". The old road is still in existence,and during the Cen­ tenary Celebrations in lS13,was visited by crowds of sight see rs. Mount iilaxland,the terminal point of the first explorer s expedition was pointed out to Macquarie,as also the two sugar- loaf peaks standing near,which have been called after the two other members of tflaxland s expedition. The first named now bears an inscription, setting forth the fact that at this point Blaxland terminated his journey,and in years to come this ueie brated mountain will,without doubt,prove attractive to visitors with a taste for Australian History.

    CENTRAL BLUE MOUNTAINS ROTARY CLUB INC. “Service above Self” District 9685, Australia A SHORT PRECIS (Who, What and Where !) WHO AND WHAT ARE WE ? Central Blue Mountains Rotary is one of five rotary Clubs located in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. We are innovative and progressive... we are a “Can Do” group of Rotarians, proud of what we achieve, and we have fun doing it. We are a club of 43 members (40 active and 3 honorary). In Rotary, women are the fastest growing membership segment and we are proud to say that 25% of our members are women. Our club meets weekly on Wednesday at the “Grandview Hotel”, 174 Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls at 6.30pm. Our meeting format is relaxed and we have great guest speakers. Sure, we sell raffle tickets and we cook and sell sausage sandwiches just like other Rotary clubs - we have a big catering van to do this....It’s great! But our community service activities are the heart of what we do, ranging from local projects to helping communities overseas. We have a website http://centralbluerotary.org/ Perhaps our greatest challenge at present; We have been awarded a RAWCS Project Fund to raise A$280,000 to construct a new, enlarged Astha Home for Girls in Kathmandu, Nepal. The massive earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 caused much upheaval to the lives of many people and destroyed or damaged many homes and buildings, especially in the hills and valleys outside of Kathmandu. The Astha Home for Girls is currently located in rented premises but the owner wants it back for his family members who lost their home in the earthquake.

    18 Lachlan River Catchment Maitland Mercury & Hunter River Advertiser, 5 April 1862 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 18-1 The Lachlan (From the Empire’s Correspondent) March 30 – The continued absence of rain causing stoppage of the puddling machines for want of water, is the sole reason of the small escort leaving tomorrow. As before stated, the river, one mile distant, is tabooed for washing purposes to the last dregs, so that the returns per escort will diminish until we are blessed with the winter’s rain. Great quantities of fish have this week been picked up by hand out of the bed of the lagoon between the Victoria and Caledonian loads, some of the codfish weighing over 30 pounds weight, besides bream, perch and jewfish, the latter being one of the oddest of the finny tribe, presenting the appearance of half newt, with porpoise head and feelers round the mouth. This fish deposits its ova in a gravelly cell on the bottom using stones of upwards of a pound weight in their construction (as a blackfellow asserts). Certain it is that little mounds, of beehive form, abound in this lagoon, containing gravel.

    https://doi.org/10.35515/zfa/asj.32/2018.04 Cassandra Pybus University of Sydney Revolution, Rum and Marronage The Pernicious American Spirit at Port Jackson I find it no small irony to write about enlightenment power at Port Jackson. As a his- torian who is interested in the nitty gritty of ordinary lived experience in the penal colony, I have found nothing at Port Jackson that looks enlightened. White Australians would dearly like to have a lofty foundation story about how the nation sprang from enlightenment ideals, such as the American have invented for themselves, which is why Australians don’t look too closely at the circumstances in which our nation was born in a godforsaken place at the end of the world that was constituted almost entirely by the brutalised and the brutalising. This narrative is not likely to be found in any popular account of the European settlement of Aus- tralia as there is no enlightened power to be found in this tale. Looming over the narrative is the omnipresent, and utterly venal, New South Wales Corps, who ran the colony for their own personal profit for nearly two decades. My narrative begins on 14 February 1797, when a convict named John Winbow was footslogging through virgin bush about five miles west of Port Jackson in search of a fugitive convict with the singe name of Caesar. Having reached a narrow rock shelter in a sandstone ridge he knew he had found his quarry then and settled down to wait for the outlaw to show himself. Having once made his living as a highway- man, it went against the grain for Winbow to be hunting a fellow outlaw, but the lavish reward of five gallons of undiluted rum was too enticing for scruples.1 Rum was the local currency at Port Jackson and five gallons represented a small fortune.

  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.

  • 5 Aboriginal Life: Historical Context
    5 Aboriginal Life: Historical Context 5.1 Wiradjuri People in their Landscape It is not easy to reconstruct past times, to imagine life in other periods and cultures. It is particularly hard when such a dramatic change occurred to Wiradjuri people as happened in the early nineteenth century. Killings, disease, the introduction of alien livestock and the loss of land and independence make it harder to reconstruct the past. We are forced to rely, for the most part, on accounts by settlers and others who, however well intentioned – or not - were trying to make sense of the changing Aboriginal world around them in the context of imperfect language skills, their own preconceptions, and the need to legitimise their acquisition of Aboriginal land. The rapid decline of the Aboriginal population and their movement between stations, reserves and missions, often outside their own local territories, led to new alliances, changing marriage patterns, loss of language, and new political identities. Wiradjuri authors, such as Mary Coe (1989) have drawn on historical records to supplement Indigenous oral histories. Historical evidence, however flawed, can offer insights that can inform both the consultation process and our understanding of the archaeological record. 5.1.1 Wiradjuri Land and Territories The Study Area falls within a region known today as Wiradjuri country based on the shared language spoken by people who define themselves as 'people of the three rivers', these rivers being the Macquarie (or Wambool) the Lachlan (or Kalare) and the Murrumbidgee (or Murrumbidjeri). The high mountain ranges mark the eastern boundary of Wiradjuri country and the western boundary is marked by the shift from woodland to open grassland.
