ALLEN Ausi alts McCARRON, STEWART & CO. LTD. Printers and Publishers, 26 GOULBURN STREET, SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES. 1921. Copyright PREFACE. N the following pages I have endeavoured to sup_-)ly the reader with an accurate account of all the inhabited islands of the I Pacific. While there are numerous books descriptive of parts of the Pacific, there is none dealing, as this does, with the whole of the groups and detached islands. That in the compilation of this work I have been largely indebted to the labours of others, I am glad to acknowledge. I have drawn from the wine of material contained in various works written on the Pacific and official reports, supplementing it by facts gained from personal observation in the islands. The descriptions have been brought up to date, and it is claimed that they omit no particular of interest to the general public, and that the work is more comprehensive and compact than any that has hitherto been published. Great care has been taken to secure accuracy, but in a subject so extensive it is impossible to avoid errors, and I will be glad to receive such corrections and information as may render the future annual editions of the Handbook as perfect, authoritative, and complete as possible. The demand for the Handbook has been so great that all former editions-and there have been eight, each separately revised, since it was first published in 1907-are out of print. This, naturally, is very gratifying to the Publishers and to myself. The Handbook is now published every year. All business com- munications should be addressed to McCarron, Stewart & Co., Ltd., but all correspondence relating to the literary side s'rjould be sent to me. PERCY S. ALLENT. C/o McCarron, Stewart & Co., Ltd., 26Goulburn Street, Sydney, Australia. PUBLISHERS' NOTE. THE Publishers again desire specially to acknowledge the valuable services of Mr. Percy S. Allen , who is recognized as a high authority upon Island matters . There is no one, we believe , more competent to write of the wide Pacific as a whole than Mr. Allen , and we consider ourselves fortunate in having retained his services for the task . We commend his work to the readers as the most authoritative to date.

    Print Article: 'Blackbirding' shame yet to be acknowledged in Australia 31/07/2015 1:24 pm Print this article | Close this window 'Blackbirding' shame yet to be acknowledged in Australia Emelda Davis Published: June 3, 2015 - 3:09PM As a second generation descendant of South Sea Islanders (kanaks) who were ruthlessly recruited (blackbirded) to serve in the most appalling conditions as plantation workers in the sugar industry of Australia, I am part of a family of activists who have sought to attain recognition and social justice for my people. More than 55,000 people, mostly men, were brought from Vanuatu, the Solomons and eighty surrounding islands under what Australia called the indentured labour trade, which was akin to slavery. They were first brought to NSW in 1847 with an influx to Queensland between 1863 and 1904. My grandfather was taken off the island of Tana in what is now the Tafea Province of Vanuatu in the late 1800s. He was one of the many children whose birth right of freedom was stripped from him at the age of 12 when he was taken to work in the sugar cane fields. He never returned home. The experience and belief of our South Sea Islander communities, passed down through oral histories, is that our forefathers were enslaved regardless of the pretence of contracts. Most definitely this was a legal framework for what was in fact criminal activity, which saw the early deaths of 30 per cent of these "labour recruits", buried in unmarked graves across north-eastern Australia. It was illegal to bring children under the age of 16 unless accompanied by an adult.

  • 361 BLACKBIRDING a Brief History of the South Sea Islands
    361 BLACKBIRDING A brief history of the South Sea Islands Labour Traffic and the vessels engaged in it. (Paper by E. V. STEVENS read at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., 23rd March 1950) Old Wine in New Bottles! ... An inadequate tri­ bute to those ruffians whose salty tales, told in Mar­ tin's Ship Chandlery, spiced with the odour of tarred hemp, canvas and cordage, stirred the imagination of a small boy sixty years ago: specially to John Poro from whom came many a welcome sixpence for some small act of service rendered. To me John Poro was a nice old gentleman; I still think so despite the later knowledge, that he was indicted, though discharged for manslaughter. This paper consists of two sections, one dealing with the subject from a different angle, I hope, from those previously presented. No stress has been laid upon the ethical, economic, or legislative implications. The object sought has been to give a general and ob­ jective view of this colourful period. The second sec­ tion of this paper contains a brief record of some 130 vessels engaged in recruiting South Sea Island labour since its beginning in 1863 to its conclusion in 1902; this as a record of vessels, masters, incidents, and fates is of no immediate interest but, documented reasonably well, may prove of service to some more ex­ haustive future survey. The task attempted would have been well nigh im­ possible had it not been for assistance rendered by our fellow-member, Mr. J. H. C McClurg, and Capt.

Managing director Matthew Collard says the project will employ around 300 people. He says Amex has not asked for tax concessions and will pay the standard royalties and corporate taxes to the Fiji Government. "There is a 3 percent export royalty that the company must pay once we are exporting the product and then, at this moment in time, we are obligated to the 20 percent corporate tax, as every other entity," he said. "We haven't proceeded into any incentives, or tax incentives at this stage. We've just been focused on getting all our approvals through so that we can get into the construction phase." Mr. Collard says extracting the iron sand will be a very simple operation.

  • Culture, Capitalism and Contestation Over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia
    Changing Lives and Livelihoods: Culture, Capitalism and Contestation over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia Jeff Kinch 31st March 2020 A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Archaeology and Anthropology Research School of Humanities and the Arts College of Arts and Social Sciences Australian National University Declaration Except where other information sources have been cited, this thesis represents original research undertaken by me for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology at the Australian National University. I testify that the material herein has not been previously submitted in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Jeff Kinch Supervisory Panel Prof Nicolas Peterson Principal Supervisor Assoc Prof Simon Foale Co-Supervisor Dr Robin Hide Co-Supervisor Abstract This thesis is both a contemporary and a longitudinal ethnographic case study of Brooker Islanders. Brooker Islanders are a sea-faring people that inhabit a large marine territory in the West Calvados Chain of the Louisiade Archipelago in Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. In the late 19th Century, Brooker Islanders began to be incorporated into an emerging global economy through the production of various marine resources that were desired by mainly Australian capitalist interests. The most notable of these commodified marine resources was beche-de-mer. Beche-de-mer is the processed form of several sea cucumber species. The importance of the sea cucumber fishery for Brooker Islanders waned when World War I started. Following the rise of an increasingly affluent China in the early 1990s, the sea cucumber fishery and beche-de-mer trade once again became an important source of cash income for Brooker Islanders.

  • Modifications to Natural Resource Use in Response to Perceptions of Changing Weather Conditions on Takuu Atoll, Papua New Guinea
    2 SPC Traditional Marine Resource Management and Knowledge Information Bulletin #40 – August 2019 Modifications to natural resource use in response to perceptions of changing weather conditions on Takuu Atoll, Papua New Guinea Anke Moesinger1 Abstract Takuu Atoll is one of three Polynesian outliers in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. The local population is inextricably linked to the surrounding ocean for their primarily subsistence-based livelihood needs. One of the main environmental concerns for the people of Takuu is the unpredictability of weather patterns, specifically monsoon wind direction. This causes distress among fishers because these disturbances can affect food security and create dangerous situations at sea. This paper examines key perceptions of wind alterations and other environmental changes. It further explores how fish- ers, primarily Takuu men, have adapted to these alterations through changes in their fishing methods, including a multitude of line fishing (matau) methods, and various net fishing (kupena) methods and giant clam mariculture. I conclude that local knowledge and perceptions of changes in weather patterns that necessitate modification of natural resource use strategies are critically important to the adaptive capacity of Takuu Islanders, given their limited livelihood options owing to the infrequent and irregular shipping services that increase economic isolation. Keywords: Takuu Atoll, local environmental perceptions, food security, fishing practices, environmental change Introduction 2010; Nunn 2009). However, the potential adaptive capac- ity and local responses to these negative impacts are poorly The need for small island developing states to address pre- understood (Mortreux and Barnett 2009). Not only has sent and future impacts of climate change has recently been inadequate attention been given to the capacity of social and of key concern to academics working in the natural and ecological systems to adapt to rapid environmental change, social sciences.

  • Burns, Philp and Co
    Moments in Time # 3 Acclaimed Ship Owners and Traders of Oceania By Geoff Walker Any mariner visiting a port in Oceania during the post WW2 years would undoubtedly have come across one of those distinguished little ships with black funnels, bearing an eye catching black and white, checkered band. These vessels were shipping and Trading icons of Australia and Oceania, and belonged of course to Burns, Philp and Co. Limited. Their ships formed the mainstay of the then, busy passenger cargo trade between Australia, New Guinea, the south west Pacific Islands, and south east Asian destinations. The company was formed as a partnership between James Burns and Robert Philp in 1876 and later as a company incorporated in 1883. The firm developed into a major provider for Plantation Managers, Ship Owners and Operators, Insurance Brokers, and Agricultural Traders; later years saw them expand activities into Travel Agency, Retailing and Trading Stores. Their main sphere of influence and involvement was Australia wide, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, with additional regular services to south east Asian ports. Initially, their vessels were used as floating trading stores, where goods were exchanged with plantation owners in remote areas in return for Copra, which was then loaded aboard their ships. Their vessels were also used to carry Pacific Islander laborers to various locations In New Guinea, primarily to work on the Copra plantations. With a head office located in Sydney, by 1880, Burns, Philp had already developed a comprehensive network of branch offices throughout Australia, such as in Townsville, Thursday Island, Cairns, Sydney, Brisbane, and London in the United Kingdom.

  • Climate Change Adaptation and Migration Experiences Gathered from the Tulun and Nissan Atolls of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea
    “We’re not Refugees, We’ll Stay Here Until We Die!”—Climate Change Adaptation and Migration Experiences Gathered from the Tulun and Nissan Atolls of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea Johannes Luetz and Peni Hausia Havea Abstract Atoll island communities are naturally vulnerable to flooding hazards such as king tides, storm surges and overtopping, among others. Climate change can be expected to catalyse the susceptibility to flooding through extreme weather events, sea level rise (SLR) and other climate related pressures. Further, population growth in coastal prox- imity can exacerbate vulnerabilities by degrading ecosystems such as mangroves and coral reefs that island communities tend to rely on for protection. The net effect: More and more people are congregating in a high-risk zone for floods and storms, but are less and less protected from them. Conventional adaptation wisdom suggests three responses: (1) plan a managed retreat (e.g., move inland); (2) accommodate the changes (e.g., build stilt houses); (3) resist the intrusion (e.g., build sea walls). On the Carteret Islands of Bougainville/Papua New Guinea (PNG), also known as the Tulun or Kilinailau Atoll, none of these adaptation measures have so far enabled the islanders to adapt in situ to mounting people and sea level pressures, resulting in both ad hoc and planned out-migration responses. Drawing on pilot research conducted on the Tulun and Nissan Atolls of Bougainville/PNG, this paper examines the linkages between climate change and human movement. It extends previous research by expressly inviting the grassroots perspectives of atoll communities of origin and mainland communities of destination in Tinputz and Buka.
