  • Around the Bend
    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.

  • Thylacinidae
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 20. THYLACINIDAE JOAN M. DIXON 1 Thylacine–Thylacinus cynocephalus [F. Knight/ANPWS] 20. THYLACINIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The single member of the family Thylacinidae, Thylacinus cynocephalus, known as the Thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger or Wolf, is a large carnivorous marsupial (Fig. 20.1). Generally sandy yellow in colour, it has 15 to 20 distinct transverse dark stripes across the back from shoulders to tail. While the large head is reminiscent of the dog and wolf, the tail is long and characteristically stiff and the legs are relatively short. Body hair is dense, short and soft, up to 15 mm in length. Body proportions are similar to those of the Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, the Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus and the Tiger Quoll, Dasyurus maculatus. The Thylacine is digitigrade. There are five digital pads on the forefoot and four on the hind foot. Figure 20.1 Thylacine, side view of the whole animal. (© ABRS)[D. Kirshner] The face is fox-like in young animals, wolf- or dog-like in adults. Hairs on the cheeks, above the eyes and base of the ears are whitish-brown. Facial vibrissae are relatively shorter, finer and fewer than in Tasmanian Devils and Quolls. The short ears are about 80 mm long, erect, rounded and covered with short fur. Sexual dimorphism occurs, adult males being larger on average. Jaws are long and powerful and the teeth number 46. In the vertebral column there are only two sacrals instead of the usual three and from 23 to 25 caudal vertebrae rather than 20 to 21.

    Castor Association ofArnerica The News Caster Volume XXVIII, Issue 1 March 2010 GC.0.05.02 M' Great Grandfather John Ericson Castor 1866-1944 and his Ancestors by Janice C. Butz My great grandfather, John Ericson Castor, was born 22 Nov 1866 in Philadelphia, PA to George Washing- ton Castor and Susanna Ireland. I am not positive of Susanna's maiden name, but on John's Death Certificate, her name is listed as Susan Ireland. He died on 16 Mar 1944, his cause of death was cerebral thrombosis due to chronic myocarditis, and his occupation was farmer. The death certificate also states that John was born on Pattys Island, NJ, but I have seen other documents that state he was born in Philadelphia at 1232 Ann St., Port Richmond, Philadelphia County, PA. He is buried at Goshen Methodist Church cemetery in Goshen, NJ. John's father died in 1873 when John was 6 years old. In October 1873 John's mother and uncle John Cas- tor applied for John to be placed at Girard College For Orphans and he was admitted on 30 Dec 1875. Susan- na's address listed on the application is 1430 Richmond Street, Port Richmond. Question 7 on the application asks "what has been his general moral conduct? "Requires control was the answer." I was told that he ran away from Girard College, but Girard College has him listed as Expelled. I do not have a date for when that hap- pened. John was married to Mary E. Elliott on 23 March 1891 at 4th & New Street in Philadelphia by Geo.

  • Bruny Life, Survey Responses
    A: Community 2018 Bruny Life Community Survey – Respondent Comments My experience with the community has been very positive in that all BI's we have met have been helpful and friendly. I have been accepted and welcomed by many people on Bruny. There are all sorts of avenues for a new comer to slot in if you are willing to make a small effort. 99% of our community are amazing. The small amount of power trippers who try hard to intimidate people they haven’t even met are the reason why some of us don’t want to go to community meetings. There also needs to be a way working, flat out people and families can give input without having to attend meetings. I think social media would be a great way I have good friends but privacy/trust amongst the community is still an issue for me. The rumour mill/gossip can be rampant and damaging so it does stop me from fully participating and "putting what I think" out there. At times I think there is a lack of respect for a difference of opinion. Sometimes groups seem to have difficulty reaching agreement over matters - debate is healthy but sometimes it seems paralysing, disrespectful and damaging on a personal level. There have been some wonderful community leaders emerge. There are many positive social activities on the island that help break down barriers between people/groups/sectors of the community. It seems quite "us" and "them". If you haven't been an island resident for a long time or have a strong history with the island then you seem to be on the outer.

  • TRIP REPORT - BIRDFINDERS South-East Australia Tour 16TH to 29TH Sept 2016
    TRIP REPORT - BIRDFINDERS South-East Australia Tour 16TH to 29TH Sept 2016 Participants : Simon Starr (guide), John Lumby, Vivienne Harvey, James Harvey, Kathryn Dowsett and Robert Dowsett Summary : 247 Bird Species were recorded ( 11 were heard only) All participants had already visited Australia for birding before so some more targeted birding was included to locate new species. Conditions for this tour were interesting to say the least. The climate and birding in Australia is much more variable from year to year than many other countries. South-Eastern Australia in the middle of 2016 was experiencing very wet conditions. Right at the commencement of the tour many rivers that flow north and inland into the Murray-Darling basin were in flood, the first flooding for 5 years. Everywhere we went the ground was saturated and all the rivers and creeks were flowing strongly. The weather was cooler than is average for the time of year, and there was plenty of rain about, although it didn’t have a major impact on our birding time. There was still snow on the mountains as we drove over the Great Dividing Range, and spring migration although underway was slower than usual and perhaps slightly later than usual also. There had been a major exodus of waterbirds from the more coastal regions of Australia in the previous month as they take advantage of the opportunity to breed in the warmer inland areas that were flooding, so some expected birds were not to be found. On the flip side this spring was excellent for many of the resident endemic birds which were fully geared up for breeding and defending their territories, so many excellent views were to be had of the local specialities.
