I constantly left peoples properties with 23 woolgrowers in Tasmania.They have been an admiration of human spirit. There were many selected as a broad representation of people memories that people spoke of which expressed involved in wool growing and caring for the times of difficulty, and I left with a sense of land and rivers in their regions. The purpose of admiration of people’s strength, tenacity and the discussions was to discover and document courage. people’s connection with rivers and life as a woolgrower. Change is the only certainty in this life and the changes in rural communities sometimes seem The Land,Water & Wool Steering Committee, swift and many.

The stories were what they do which makes rural communities then returned to woolgrowers for comment so special. and review. These stories reflect aspects of woolgrowers lives, and their connection with the water and land. Jo Dean iv Biodiversity for long-term benefits Grandparents and Dad and one brother and sister came up here from Bruny Island in 1946. It was a big move for them because they lived in a really nice environment overlooking the ocean and they loved the water, especially Dad. He would have preferred to be a fisherman I think rather than a farmer. He said that he thought he would miss the fishing but when he got here he was so busy he didn’t miss it at all. They really came here to give themselves the chance to expand, which they did successfully. Dad and his two brothers all ended up with a farm. When they came here they ran 900 sheep on Lewisham in the first year that was all, basically just a big run, three or four paddocks. They built everything. Put the house right on the highway, which is probably the worst place to build a house but that’s where they put it. I think Lindsay and Rae Young — Grandad wanted the morning newspaper which ‘Lewisham’, Ross and ‘Green Valley’, he managed to get without any trouble at all. Bothwell Mostly ploughed a block of tussock and sagg country, which in hindsight it would have been nice had he left some but one thing that he did which was quite unique, maybe it was because Dad only had a small bulldozer but I think it was because they wanted to keep the trees for shelter. There is a pretty large area of white-gums and they just cleared the light stuff out from underneath and left most of the trees which is a really good area for lambing and a good shelter area. It is probably one of the last areas of lowland white-gums in the Midlands. It was a good thing that they left them; we hope to try and keep them going.

On that part over because we could get floods at anytime of the farm we run close to 4000 sheep which during the spring. Two years ago I think we had are quite big productivity gains. Now that there five floods so we just waited until the summer and is so much grass grown compared to that period, spent a couple of days tidying it up. It is mainly surely that affects the amount of water available only grass and a few sticks that cause problems. for trees too? Water doesn’t get down into the profile like it used to. So that may be a reason We have removed all the willows from half of why the trees aren’t surviving as well, especially the river and this winter we are going to plant with the old trees which would rely on a huge long stems to try and get some native vegetation amount of water, I guess, to maintain themselves. going. The other half of the river I want to actually do it the opposite way; get the native Mount Augusta, up the back of the house here, vegetation going before we remove the willows. is halfway between Campbell Town and Ross, Because at the moment the willows are the only 5 kilometres each way.

The Jurassic dolerite intrusions in east- ern Tasmania have given rise to a series of low plateaus, or tiers (Davies, 1965). Moaners Tier is a smaller example which rises to 750 in near the study site, which is at an altitude of 600 m.

    Abduction and Multiple Killings of Aborigines in Tasmania: 1804-1835 Lyndall Ryan, Author, The Aboriginal Tasmanians, Visiting Fellow, Genocide Studies Program, Yale University, and Honorary Conjoint Professor School of Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty of Education & Arts University of Newcastle Ourimbah Campus, N.S.W., Australia Email: [email protected] Introduction Tasmania (known as Van Diemen’s Land until 1855) is about the same size as Ireland and a little smaller than Sri Lanka. Physically it is part of the continent of Australia but became separated from it by the formation of Bass Strait during the Holocene era about 10,000 years ago. The island was occupied for at least 30,000 years by a hunter-gatherer people, the Tasmanian Aborigines. Contrary to a long and widely held belief that they were a ‘stone age’ people who were destined to die out as a result of 10,000 years of isolation from the Australian mainland, recent archaeological research indicates that they were a dynamic people who not only reshaped their culture and society during the Holocene era, but were increasing in population at the moment of British colonization in 1803 (Lourandos 1997:281). Recent research estimates the Aboriginal population in 1803 at between 4,000 and 9,000 (Jones 1974:325; Butlin 1993:133-4). By 1835 however, fewer than 200 Aborigines remained. What had happened to the rest? Most historians acknowledge that a bloody war took place between the Aborigines and the British colonists for possession of the island between 1823 and 1835 but disagree about how many Aborigines lost their lives.

  • A Compilation of Place Names and Their Histories in Tasmania
    LA TROBE: Renamed Latrobe. LACHLAN: A small farming district 6 Km. south of New Norfolk. It is on the Lachlan Road, which runs beside a river of the same name. Sir John Franklin, in 1837, founded the settlement, and used the christian name of Governor Macquarie for the township. LACKRANA: A small rural settlement on Flinders Island. It is 10 Km. due east of Whitemark, over the Darling Range. A district noted for its dairy produce, it is also the centre of the Lackrana Wildlife Sanctuary. LADY BARRON: The main southern town on Flinders Island, 24 Km. south ofWhitemark. Situated in Adelaide Bay, it was named in honour of the wife of a Governor of Tasmania Sir Harry Barron. Places with names, which are very similar often, created confusion. LADY BAY: A small bay on the southern end of DEntrecasteaux Channel, 6 Km. east of Southport. It is almost deserted now except for a few holiday shacks. It was once an important port for the timber industry but there is very little of the wharf today. It has also been known as Lady's Bay. LADY NELSON CREEK: A small creek on the southern side of Dilston, it joins with Coldwater Creek and becomes a tributary of the Tamar River. The creek rises inland, near Underwood, and flows through some good farming country. It was an important freshwater supply in the early days of the colony. LAGOONS: An alternative name for Chain of Lagoons. It is 17 Km. south ofSt.Marys on the Tasman Highway. A geographical description of the inlet, which is named Saltwater Inlet, when the tide goes out it, leaves a "chain of lagoons".
