    Revisiting the place name meaning of Yaroomba The Gaiarbau, ‘bunya country’ and ‘thick vine scrub’ connections (by Kerry Jones, Arnold Jones, Sean Fleischfresser, Rodney Jones, Lore?a Algar, Helen Jones & Genevieve Jones) The Sunshine Coast region, fiHy years ago, may have had the greatest use of place names within Queensland derived from Aboriginal language words, according to researcher, E.G. Heap’s 1966 local history arQcle, ‘In the Wake of the Rasmen’. In the early days of colonisaon, local waterways were used to transport logs and Qmber, with the use of Aboriginal labour, therefore the term ‘rasmen’. Windolf (1986, p.2) notes that historically, the term ‘Coolum District’ included all the areas of Coolum Beach, Point Arkwright, Yaroomba, Mount Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Peregian. In the 1960’s it was near impossible to take transport to and access or communicate with these areas, and made that much more difficult by wet or extreme weather. Around this Qme the Sunshine Coast Airport site (formerly the Maroochy Airport) having Mount Coolum as its backdrop, was sQll a Naonal Park (QPWS 1999, p. 3).

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.
