  • Rock and Gravel Resources of King Island
    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1998/05 Rock and gravel resources of King Island by C. R. Calver Summary The known gravel resources on King Island are limited. Material for road works is currently sourced from two pits (Reekara and Pearshape) operated by the King Island Council, and from a mine overburden waste dump at Grassy. Concrete aggregate is sourced from beach shingle on the west coast. The Reekara and Pearshape pits are known to have acid drainage problems. Mineral Resources Tasmania and the Department of Environment and Land Management have agreed that the Reekara pit should be closed immediately and rehabilitated, and that the Pearshape pit should be closed and rehabilitated within two years. Mining of the beach shingle, which is deleterious to the coastal environment, will also cease within two years. Thereafter concrete aggregate will need to be produced from hard rock. Future supplies of road construction gravel may continue to be sourced from the Grassy dump, from a new site at Counsel Hill, and from one or two other small existing pits. For good quality road sealing material and concrete aggregate, it is recommended that sites in Precambrian amphibolite east of Pegarah, and in Tertiary basalt in the north of the island, be investigated. INTRODUCTION rehabilitation of the Pearshape and Reekara pits in King Island’s supplies of gravel for road construction the near future. and concrete aggregate have, for many years, been A substitute or substitutes for these pits needs to be taken from beach shingle at widely scattered points capable of providing an annual total of around along the west coast of the island, and from two 40 000 tonnes of gravel and crushed stone for road inland gravel pits at Reekara in the north and construction.

  • Nineteenth-Century Lunatic Asylums in South Australia and Tasmania (1830-1883)
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 19,2001 Convicts and the Free: Nineteenth-century lunatic asylums in South Australia and Tasmania (1830-1883) SUSAN PIDDOCK While most ofus are familiar with the idea ofthe lunatic asylum, few people realise that lunatic asylums were intended to be curative places where the insane were return to sanity. In the early nineteenth century a new treatment regime that emphasised the moral management of the insane person in the appropriate environment became popular. This environment was to be provided in the new lunatic asylums being built. This article looks at what this moral environment was and then considers it in the context ofthe provisions made for the insane in two colonies: South Australia and Tasmania. These colonies had totally different backgrounds, one as a colony offree settlers and the other as a convict colony. The continuing use ofnineteenth-century lunatic asylums as modern mental hospitals means that alternative approaches to the traditional approaches ofarchaeology have to be considered, and this article discusses documentary archaeology as one possibility. INTRODUCTION and Australia. In this paper a part of this study is highlighted, that being the provision of lunatic asylums in two colonies of While lunacy and the lunatic asylum are often the subject of Australia: South Australia and Tasmania.
