  • A Re-Examination of William Hann´S Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.

  • Surveyors-General, Government Geologists, Printers, Ministers, Etc
    Lists of British, Australian and New Zealand Surveyors-General, Government Geologists, Printers, Ministers, etc useful to cataloguers and researchers for the dating of Australian and New Zealand maps. Compiled 2005, with selected amendments to Feb. 2020 by Brendan Whyte, Assistant Curator of Maps, National Library of Australia These lists have been compiled as a reference to assist in dating Australian and New Zealand maps by means of the government officers and other officials named on them. The lists are not necessary complete, and are not intended to be definitive, but rather comprise a working document. It is hoped that users of these lists will add to them, helping to complete the lists already included, as well as adding new ones, so that a complete and comprehensive set of lists can eventually be made available to map librarians and other interested parties. Much information has been collected from various internet sites, but for reasons of space not all such references are given. Where a source provided most of the information given, it has been referenced at the top of that list. However, a number of sources were used for several lists and these are given below, rather than repeating them atop each list to which they contributed. The updates since 2010 cover mapping officials per se. The lists of Ministers have not been updated as their names no longer seem to occur on published maps as they once did.
