  • 'The Families Were … Too Poor to Send Them Parcels': the Provision Of
    ‘The families were … too poor to send them parcels’: The provision of comforts to Aboriginal soldiers in the AIF in the Second World War Kristyn Harman In mid-1941, Private Clarrie Combo from New South Wales sent a letter from Syria, where he was stationed, to Mrs Brown of Loxton in South Australia. Combo, an Aboriginal soldier serving abroad with the Second Australian Imperial Force (AIF), wrote ‘it is very nice of you to write to someone you do not know. Thank you for offering to knit a pair of socks for me. I wear size seven in boots’.1 These unlikely correspondents formed an affective relationship during the Second World War under the auspices of a scheme designed specifically to cater for the needs of Australian Aboriginal men serving abroad. Following the outbreak of the war, in August 1940 the Victorian-based Aborigines Uplift Society launched a national comfort auxiliary. This was Australia’s first fund with the express intent of providing comforts for Aboriginal soldiers, and its founding, modus operandi and outcomes are the subject of this article. Combo was one of at least 3,000 Aboriginal and 850 Torres Strait Islander people known to have served Australia during the Second World War.2 The advent of war, as Kay Saunders has revealed, raised numerous complex questions in relation to the nation’s Indigenous peoples, particularly in relation to their skills, capacity to serve, and loyalties. This led to some inequalities in relation to opportunities to serve. From a legal perspective, only those Aboriginal men who were exempt 1 Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record, 25 September 1941; Richmond River Herald and Northern Districts Advertiser, 7 February 1941.

  • Could This Be the Artist? Augustus Baker Peirce 1840 – 1919
    Could this be the Artist? ©Virginia Hollister Augustus Baker Peirce 1840 – 1919 This photograph was taken in Hill End in 1872 by the American and Australasian Photographic Company, and is part of the Holtermann Collection at the Mitchell Library, Sydney. It is my theory that Augustus Baker Peirce is the artist responsible for the mural painted above the fireplace at the Bridge View Inn. This is based on stylistic similarities, the fact that he was in the area between 1871 and 1873, and his known history as a painter of the interiors of hotels. Fortunately for us, he wrote an illustrated memoir titled: ‘Knocking About: Being Some Adventures of Augustus Baker Peirce in Australia’ that tells us in great detail about his life and shows us examples of his drawing style. A B Peirce was most often known as Gus Pierce, or Captain Gus Pierce. He was born in Medford, Massachusetts, went to sea at 19, and jumped ship in Melbourne in 1859. He soon found his way to the gold fields of Victoria, and travelled about doing any job going: grubbing trees, shepherding sheep, washing dishes, writing signs, selling meat pies or Frank Weston’s ‘Wizard Oil’, etc. His interest in singing, dancing, ‘hanky-panky’ tricks and legerdemain, led him to the theatre and travelling shows. At Tarrengower, near Bendigo, a company entertaining local miners employed him to sing and act for a half-hour stint per night; during the day he helped with stage carpentry and scene painting. Here he is, on stage, one of many self-portraits in his memoir.

Stokes was expected to receive a $500 million windfall from the News deal. Darren Davidson and Damon Kitney reported (Australian, 12 October 2012, p.21) that Stokes was understood to have been “eyeing News’s Perth newspaper, the Sunday Times, to create a seven-day news operation’ in conjunction with Seven’s West Australian.

On 31 October, 91.91 per cent of ConsMedia shareholders voted in favour of accepting the News Limited offer (Australian, 1 November 2012, p.23).

  • Long Distance Travel in Canoes, Kayaks, Rowboats and Rafts on the Rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin from 1817 to 2012
    Long Distance Travel in Canoes, Kayaks, Rowboats and Rafts on the Rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin from 1817 to 2012 by Angela BREMERS This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication (Research) of the University of Canberra June 2017 i Abstract From 1817 to 2012, paddling and rowing on the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin played a crucial role in the region’s exploration, commerce and recreation. This thesis exposes the cultural and historical significance of journeys in human-powered craft during this period. Despite its underlying historical and cultural significance, the history of these journeys is little known and little understood. This is despite journeys by famous explorers such as Captain Charles Sturt who used rowboats on two expeditions, most notably on his 1830 expedition on the Murrumbidgee and Murray rivers. His Murray journey is well commemorated, but two earlier journeys by Surveyor-General John Oxley’s expedition are not as widely known. Those four voyages, as well as three expeditions led by Major Thomas Mitchell were instrumental in solving the mystery of the inland rivers and expanding colonial settlement (Shaw ed., 1984, pp.217, 221, 599). Following European expansion, journeys by Captain Francis Cadell and a voyage by Lieutenant-Governor of South Australia Sir Henry Edward Fox Young, determined the navigability of the Murray for paddle steamers. Until the additional linking of the railways into the basin during the 1870s and 1880s, paddle steamers provided the most efficient and reliable transport for farmers and settlers, and boosted the regional economy (Lewis, 1917, p.47; Phillips, 1972, p.50; Richmond, c.1980, p.17).
