    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 1 March 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 86–106 Emily Bullock 2012 Around the Bend The Curious Power of the Hills around Queenstown, Tasmania EMILY BULLOCK UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA Approaching the town of Queenstown you can’t help but be taken aback by the sight of the barren hillsides, hauntingly bare yet strangely beautiful. This lunar landscape has a majestic, captivating quality. In December 1994 after 101 years of continuous mining—A major achievement for a mining company—the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company called it a day and closed the operation thus putting Queenstown under threat of becoming a ghost town. Now, with the mine under the ownership of Copper Mines of Tasmania, the town and the mine are once again thriving. Although Queenstown is primarily a mining town, it is also a very popular tourist destination offering visitors unique experiences. So, head for the hills and discover Queenstown—a unique piece of ‘Space’ on earth.1 In his discussion of the labour of the negative in Defacement: Public Secrecy and the Labour of the Negative, Michael Taussig opens out into a critique of criticism. ISSN 1837-8692 Criticism, says Taussig, is in some way a defacement, a tearing away at an object that ends up working its magic on the critic and forging a ‘curious complicity’ between object and critic.2 Taussig opens up a critical space in which to think with the object of analysis, cutting through transcendental critique, as a critical defacement, which, in the very act of cutting, produces negative energy: a ‘contagious, proliferating, voided force’ in which the small perversities of ‘laughter, bottom-spanking, eroticism, violence, and dismemberment exist simultaneously in violent silence’.3 This complicity in thinking might be charged by critical methodologies which engage in, and think through, peripatetic movements.

    TAS TALK… THE MOVIE THE CAST, THEIR STORIES AND THE BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS…TASMANIA Kayaking on the Pieman River © Michael Walters Photography Behind the Scenes, Hobart © HypeTV –––– A journey to Tasmania is a rare chance to disconnect from stress and reconnect with the things that matter. Geographic isolation has contributed to unique biodiversity, and it has also fostered a rare community of creative, down-to-earth, resourceful people with time to make you feel welcome. We are all working in unusual circumstances and although this year we were unable to deliver our much sought after TasTalk trade event in its standard format, we know you need to connect with Tasmanian tourism operators. So, we are bringing the TasTalk trade event experience to you! This is TasTalk...The Movie, an opportunity for you to listen and connect with Tasmanians over a live platform. Featuring the stars of our tourism industry, this is set to be a movie like you have never seen before. One of the joys of travelling in Tasmania is not just the chance to taste produce straight from the farm and ocean, but the ease of meeting the makers at cellar doors, farm gates and local markets. And with four distinct seasons, there’s always something new to see, taste and feel. TasTalk...The Movie will speak to all of this and more. Tasmania is a place for adventure, however, you define it. Whether the view is from the privacy of a hot tub in a forest, or from a kayak for two, or fireside with Tassie whisky and friends, the world looks different from Tasmania.

  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.
