  • Plant Introductions to South Australia Prior to 1840 P.M
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 7(3): 217-231 (1985) PLANT INTRODUCTIONS TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA PRIOR TO 1840 P.M. Kloot 4 South Australian Department of Agriculture, G.P.O. Box 1671, Adelaide, S.A. 5001 tTh Abstract Selected historical data from 1802 to 1840 are presented to illustrate the extent of European plant introductions in both pre-colonial South Australia and the early years of official settlement. Some other effects such as land clearing and the early movement of weeds are briefly discussed. Introduction South Australia was proclaimed a colony of the British Crown on 28 December 1836 when the first Governor, Captain John Hindmarsh RN, hoisted the British flag at a ceremony on the shores of Gulf St Vincent. Prior to this date there had been a flurry of activity which had commenced on 27 July the same year when the advance party of settlers and surveyors had arrived on the "Duke of York" to lay the foundations for a Province of free settlers to be developed in accordance with the novel Wakefield Colonization Plan (Price, 1924). Apart from recounting the story of the earliest navigators, Flinders and Baudin, many historians make no mention of European involvement in South Australia prior to 1836 (e.g. Dutton, 1846; Sinnett, 1862; Pascoe, 1901). Passing references are sometimes made to the earlier presence of sealers and others on the off-shore islands but as they are not considered to have any direct bearing on the official settlement of the colony, they are dismissed as being of little importance in South Australian history.

Except in the geographical abridgment, under the heading of “ Progress of Martne Surveys” attached to the Memoirs of the various Hydrographers, the personal services of officers still on the Active List, and employed in the surveying service of the Royal Navy, have not been alluded to ; thereby the lines of official etiquette will not have been over-stepped.

From the very beginning the water supply at Reeves Point was un9ertain; wells dug at the settlement quickly turned brackish, and the only permanent water was a spring eight kilometres to the west across the Bay of Shoals. The vegetation was difficult to clear and the local timber proved to be unsuitable for roof shingles. Once the land was cleared, the soil was found to be poor. Life was miserable during the first few months, for it was winter and there were only tents in which to live.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.

  • 2.1 FOUNDING of SOUTH AUSTRALIA1 in 1833 the South
    2.1 FOUNDING OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA1 In 1833 the South Australian Association was established to lobby the Government for the establishment of a colony in South Australia. Shortly after on 15 August 1834 the South Australia Act 1834 was passed which provided for the settlement, sale of lands, funding of the venture and detailing the governance of Commissioners.2 The colony of South Australia was to be based on Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s theory of colonization which would see Crown land sold to immigrants with the proceeds being used to finance the immigration of new settlers and so build the colony with free labour as distinct from convicts. On 5 May 1835, eleven commissioners were appointed to control the sales of land and the administration of revenue. Colonel Robert Torrens was appointed as Chairman. On 21 January 1936 Captain John Hindmarsh was appointed the first Governor of South Australia. Sales of land proved difficult and The South Australian Company, which was formed on 15 October 1835 to develop and build the new settlement in South Australia, purchased the thirty five thousand Pounds worth of land that was required for settlement to proceed. The Company provided basic infrastructure for the new colony, as well as sold or leased land to immigrants who came to settle. The founding shareholders were George Fife Angas, Thomas Smith and Henry Kingscote, who were soon accompanied by some 300 additional shareholders. Among these were John Rundle, Charles Hindley, Raikes Currie, John Pirie and Henry Waymouth, whose names are now found on Adelaide's city streets. In January 1836 four ships chartered by the South Australian Company sailed for South Australia .On February 22, the ship John Pirie set sail with 24 passengers on board; on 24 February the ship Duke of York with 42 passengers; on March 30 the ship Lady Mary Pelham with 29 passengers and the fourth ship, the Emma, left London with 22 passengers on April 21.

In most cases it is unclear from the sources whether the ship was lost in the territorial waters of the country in question, in the EEZ or in international waters.

    Working Paper Number 1 Aboriginal Heroes: Dundalli a ‘Turrwan’ an Aboriginal leader 1842-1854 Dr Dale Kerwin August 2007 Griffith Institute for Educational Research ©Dale Kerwin, 2007 Printer: Griffith University Press, Mt Gravatt Foreword It is with pleasure that the Griffith Institute for Educational Research releases its first working paper. The paper is authored by Dr Dale Kerwin, the inaugural Post-Doctoral Fellow with the Institute. Dr Kerwin’s research is centred on Aboriginal heroes in the pre- Federation period. The goal of the research is to document the stories of Indigenous heroes who made significant contributions to the history of Australia. Such stories are sadly lacking in the curriculum texts of Australian schools. Increasingly educators and policy makers are aware of the need to ensure a representation of the contributions made by the Indigenous people to the history of Australia. It is no longer appropriate to present the biased and ethnocentric view of Australian history that has been provided to young Australians. Dr Kerwin seeks to document a number of stories of Indigenous heroes from Queensland during his residency with the Institute. Further he seeks to have these stories to become part of the school curriculum so that a much richer representation of Australia’s history is made available to all students. The research is timely as many of the oral histories are at risk of being lost so there is an imperative to document these significant contributions made by the original people of Australia. There will be a number of accounts to be forthcoming from Dr Kerwin’s research.

Clements Library University of Michigan Eyre Coote papers Introduction1 The Coote family Charles Coote (d. 1642) was an officer in the English army and fought under Lord Mountjoy during the latter stages of the Nine Years War (1593-1603) in Ireland. His success was rewarded with various offices and a baronetcy. Like his contemporary, Richard Boyle, earl of Cork, he was astute in purchasing tracts of land and thereby enriched his family. By his death in 1642 the family had estates in Queen’s County, and Counties Leitrim and Roscommon. His eldest son, Charles (d. 1661) inherited much of these lands, and, like his father, was a military officer and political magnate, who managed to opportunely change sides between the Cromwellian and Restoration periods. Charles was created 1st earl of Mountrath in 1660, which title continued in the male line until the death Charles Henry Coote (1725-1802), when it became extinct. Sir Eyre Coote (d. 1823) descended from Charles Coote’s (d. 1642) second son, Chidley (d. 1668), of Killester, County Dublin who purchased an estate at Ashhill near Kilmallock, County Limerick in 1667. His eldest son Lieut.-Colonel Chidley Coote inherited this property, which in turn passed to his son, Rev.

The forbearance shown by my family has been my greatest asset in concluding this study. Many hours in front of a computer have been compounded by research trips to Europe and side ventures to conferences that all took me away from them. Through it all, they have listened to stories only a historian could enjoy, they have supported me, and they have driven me to completion.

  • The South Australian Hypotheses
    The South Australian Hypotheses Impacts of vessel loss in South Australian colonial whaling The Encounter Bay wreck, Encounter Bay, South Australia (Photograph by Irini Malliaros 25 June 2019) Timothy Zapor Archaeologist A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Master of Maritime Archaeology. Department of Archaeology, College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, Flinders University, Adelaide January 2020 Declaration of Candidate ‘I certify that this thesis does not incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text’ Timothy Zapor January 2020 i Abstract This thesis uses a case study from Encounter Bay, South Australia to examine the impacts of vessel loss in colonial South Australian whaling. A collaborative project to undertake study on South Australia’s ‘first-fleet’ and other immigrant vessels began in 2018 with the search for the barque South Australian. One of the first sixteen vessels to bring free immigrants to Australia and one of South Australia’s first whaling ships. South Australian is the oldest recorded shipwreck in South Australia, sinking in 1837, just one year after the formation of the colony. Originally built Marquess of Salisbury in England in 1819 as a Falmouth packet ship in service of the Royal Post Office, South Australian carried mail around the globe until it was purchased by The South Australian Company and sailed for Australia. In early 2018, the research team located the articulated remains of a wooden vessel in Encounter Bay, South Australia using a combination of historical records and local community knowledge.
