    Folklore & History of the Heritage Highway Keep an eye out between Tunbridge and Kemton for sixteen silhouettes. Some are quite close to road, some are high on the hilltops. What stories can they tell us about the history of this intriguing region. Page 2 Two hundred years on there’s still plenty of ways to get held up on the Heritage Highway The Silhouette sculpture trail along the Southern half of the Midland Highway is completed, nine years after it was started by locals Folko Kooper and Maureen Craig. The trail between Tunbridge and Kempton, has become an enjoyable feature of the journey along the highway. Installation of four coaching-related sculptures at Kempton earlier this year marked completion of a trail which now has 16 pieces. Page 3 Leaving Oatlands towards the North, on the right side of the Heritage Highway. Troop Of Soldiers—St Peters Pass Van Diemen’s Land was first and foremost a British military outpost. Soldiers accompanied the convicts on the transport ships, supervised the rationing of supplies, and guarded the chain gangs, They also supervised construction of bridges public and private buildings– as well as watching out for the French! Most didn’t stay long. There were other British interests around the world to defend. Many of the convicts they guarded had also been soldiers, but were reduced to committing crime once the wars they were fighting ended and they were out of a job. Chain Gang—North off York Plains Turn-off There was a lot to do to build the colony of Van Diemen’s Land.

  • The Environmental Impact of Building Dams Aswan Dam the Aswan Dam, Built on the Nile River, Was an Enormous Feat of Engineering and Planning
    The Environmental Impact of Building Dams Aswan Dam The Aswan dam, built on the Nile River, was an enormous feat of engineering and planning. Lake Nasser was created as a result of the ooding of the dam’s catchment area. Some important cultural heritage sites were taken apart, and rebuilt at Abu Simbel in order to avoid them being ooded by the project. Other sites were not saved and remain under the water. The Gordon Dam Gordon River in Tasmania, Australia. Built in 1974 The Gordon Dam was built for the purpose of providing hydroelectric supply. Water is fed down a 183 m drop to turn turbines that are located under the ground below the dam wall. A proposed second dam on the Gordon River, the Franklin Dam, was never built due to strong opposition from community and environmental groups. The Tasmanian Wilderness Society ran a campaign from 1976 -1983 to save the pristine wilderness from environmental damage. The leader of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society, Dr Bob Brown, later became a member of the Tasmanian Parliament, an Australian Senator and the Parliamentary Leader of the Australian Greens political party. Murray River The Murray River ows for over 2500 km across eastern Australia to its outlet on the coast in South Australia. It forms part of the border between New South Wales and Victoria. During the early to mid 1900s, a series of dams, locks and weirs were built on the river. These disrupted the natural ow of the river and allowed fresh water to be available for irrigation to Australia’s largest food growing region.

  • Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania
    ; 97 IHE FREiNCH IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, AND THE FIRST SETTLEMENT AT THE DERWENT. BY JAMES B. WALKER. Prefatory Note. As the subject of the present Paper may appear to be scarcely within the scope of the objects of the Royal Society, it seems proper to state briefly the occasion of its being written and submitted to the consideration of the Fellows. Some two years ago, the Tasmanian Government—of which the Hon. James Wilson Agnew, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society, was Premier—following the good example set by the Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Now Zealand, directed search to be made iu the English State Record Office for papers relating to the settlement and early history of this Colony. The idea originated in a suggestion from Mr. James Bonwick, F.R.G.S., the well-known writer on the Tasmanian Aborigines, who had been employed for years on similar work for various Colonial Governments, and to him the task was entrusted by Dr. Agnew. Mr. Bonwick searched, not only the Record Office, but the papers of the Admiralty, the Foreign Office, the Privy Council, and the British Museuni, and discovered and co|)ied a large mass of docunu'nts rohiting to the oarly days of Tasmania. in the early jiart of this year, these coj)ics, extending over some (J4() foolscap pages, were received in Ilobart, and the ))resent Premier —the Hon. Philip Oakley Fysh—obligingly allowed me to jioruse them. I found them to be of great interest. They threw (piite a new light on the causes which led to the first occupation of this Islaiul ; gave a complete history of Bowen's first settlement at Risdon Cove and supplied materials for other hitherto unwritten — 98 FRENCH IN VAN DIEMEN's LAND.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.
