Sharman (holding hat) is flanked by boxer Dave Sands, and his son Jimmy Sharman Jnr. Photograph courtesy of Jimmy Sharman Jnr. 48 PROFESSIONAL ABORIGINAL BOXERS IN EASTERN AUSTRALIA 1930-1979* Richard Broome At first glance the money and prestige available to Aborigines through the sport of professional boxing suggest that boxing might have allowed Aborigines to escape the usual subordinate and outcast condition assigned to them by European-dominated Australian society. This paper attempts to examine the truth of this popular conception of boxing. It also seeks to retrieve the Aboriginal experience of the fight game, for of all sports, only football has rivalled the importance of boxing in Aboriginal community and sporting life and Aboriginal folklore. The examination of the Aboriginal experience in the world of boxing should increase our understanding of race relations in Australia. Professional boxing is a distinctive sport because fighters are in the business of inflicting bodily injury for money in potentially tough physical encounters. The professionals are even distinguished from amateur boxers, because the ‘lily-whites’ are protected from injury by rigid rules and very strict refereeing. It is this fact of institutionalized violence which is at the core of the tight-knit nature of this sporting subculture, centred as it is around inner city gymnasiums where the faithful gather to talk their own jargon and watch the hopefuls go through the rituals of shadow boxing, skipping, bag punching and sparring.

  • Does Early Colonial Art Provide an Accurate Guide to the Nature and Structure of the Pre-European Forests and Woodlands of South
    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

    An Outlaw Practice: Boxing, Governance and Western Law Ian J*M. Warren A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement, Performance and Recreation Victoria University 2005 FTS THESIS 344.099 WAR 30001008090740 Warren, Ian J. M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour. Thanks are extended to: The School of HMFR and the PGRU @ VU for complete support throughout; Tanuny Gurvits for her sharing final submission angst: best of sporting luck; Feter Mewett, Bob Petersen, Dr Danielle Tyson & Dr Steve Tudor;

IN 1852–53 Chapter I. Introductory Remarks IT may be deemed presumptuous that one of my age and sex should venture to give to the public an account of personal adventures in a land which has so often been descanted upon by other and abler pens; but when I reflect on the many mothers, wives, and sisters in England, whose hearts are ever longing for information respecting the dangers and privations to which their relatives at the antipodes are exposed, I cannot but hope that the presumption of my undertaking may be pardoned in consideration of the pleasure which an accurate description of some of the Australian Gold Fields may perhaps afford to many; and although the time of my residence in the colonies was short, I had the advantage (not only in Melbourne, but whilst in the bush) of constant intercourse with many experienced diggers and old colonists — thus having every facility for acquiring information respecting Victoria and the other colonies.

  • Aboriginal Boxers in Sydney, Dawn
    Aboriginal Boxers in Sydney Australian middleweight champion Tony Mundine, scored his 14th knockout in 19 fights on Tuesday night, 9th June, at the Sydney Stadium. You might say that it was a double knock-out that night. Tony Mundine flattened his opponent, Filipino Ravalo, in the second round with a right rip to the body. In another sense, the Eastern Suburbs railway, equally convincingly, knocked out the old Stadium after 62 years. It was the end of an era in Sydney boxing. Over thirty former boxing champions provided some sentimental moments for the crowd as they were introduced from the ring. They included names like Vic Patrick, Jackie Green, Jimmy Carruthers, Rocky Gattellari, George Barnes, Jack Hassen, Clive Stewart, Alf Blatch, George Bracken, Carlo Marchini, and Tony Madigan-all were there to take their cheers from the crowd. After the fight, Tony Mundine’s trainer, Ern McQuillan, announced that Tony was to go after the British Empire titles. He added that he was hoping that one of Mundine’s fights leading up to the Empire crown would be against New Zealand’s Kahu Mahanga. Mahanga was the only fighter who had beaten Mundine in a professional bout. Both Ern McQuillan’s and Snowy Robbin’s gyms have a large proportion of Aboriginal boxers. Some of the Aboriginal fighters who train at McQuillan’s Newtown gym include Ted Bonner, Les McHughes, Tony and Kevin Mundine, Bobby Taylor, and Ricky McGrady. The other major “Aboriginal gym” is that of Snowy Robbins, opposite the Rose of Australia hotel in Erskineville. It is run by Mick Fernandez and Jack Fliedner.
