  • 20 TASMANIA 40ºsouth Great Southern Land
    20 TASMANIA 40ºSouth Great southern land writer Lucinda Sharp photographer Chris Crerar I stood on a rock high on a hill and looked down at a panorama of sea, grassland and forest. I was in the Port Davey Marine Reserve, deep in the Southwest National Park. Looking back at me, I thought, was the soul of Tasmania. I had flown in by light plane the previous day. You come here by plane or by boat. This is a soul protected by the law of man and the lie of land. There is no other way in. This is part of land which a panel of objective but hard- nosed environmentalists at UNESCO headquarters in Paris decided deserved the appellation of World Heritage Wilderness Area. This a title not awarded to places where there are more people than peace, where there is more noise than nature, where there is more concrete than bird calls. To earn the title, the environmentocrats in Paris must judge whether the candidate has, amongst other criteria, “natural features consisting of physical and biological formations or groups of such formations, which are of outstanding universal value from the aesthetic or scientific point of view”, and “geological and physiographical formations and precisely delineated areas which constitute the habitat of threatened species of animals and plants of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation”. They wouldn’t have had to think too hard about it. This is the home of extraordinary beauty. It is the home of the TASMANIA 40ºSouth 21 much-loved and desperately threatened orange- bellied parrot.

  • Necklace Making and Placedness in Tasmania 1 Introduction
    Coolabah, No.11, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Necklace making and placedness in Tasmania 1 Ray Norman Copyright©2013 Ray Norman. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: This paper has been written against the backdrop of John B. Hawkins’ paper, A Suggested History of Tasmanian Aboriginal Kangaroo Skin or Sinew, Human Bone, Shell, Feather, Apple Seed & Wombat Necklaces, published in Australiana, November 2008, and the research it sparked. Hawkins proffered some contentious propositions concerning unlikely and speculative connections between Tasmanian Aboriginal shell necklace making and the making of so-called “Tasmanian Appleseed necklaces”. Within the acknowledgements section of his paper Hawkins said that he “[looked] forward to a response to [his] article by the museum authorities, for it is only by the cut and thrust of debate that knowledge can be further enhanced”. This paper takes up that challenge albeit from outside the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and totally independent of any institutional sponsorship. Introduction Cultural production is at the nexus of different understandings of place and the cultural realities that belong there. It turns out that necklace making in Tasmania has a resonance of a kind that might not be easily found elsewhere because of the complex relationships it exemplifies between settler, and Indigenous trajectories. Like a thread these necklaces join both sides of the colonial equation in revealing, ambivalent and contested stories that resonate with the new globalism that is shaping the 21st Century 1 This paper is a contribution to the Placescape, placemaking, placemarking, placedness … geography and cultural production Special Issue of Coolabah, edited by Bill Boyd & Ray Norman.

  • Survey Department Annual Report of the Deputy Surveyor-General
    (No. 72.) · 1891. PARLIAMENT OF TASMANIA. SURVEY DEPARTMENT: ANNUAL REPORT OF -THE DEPUTY SURVEYOR-GENERAL. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by His Excellency's Command. SURVEY DEPART lVI ENT. REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1891. Hobart, 6th July, 1891. Sm, I HAVE the honor to submit to you a Report on the working of the Survey Department for the year ending June the 30th, 1891. Consequent on the general development of the country, the current work of the office has steadily increased during the year, and the powers of the small staff have been severely strained to satisfy the demands made upon it. This Report will indicate how difficult it is to maintain an efficient staff under existing circumstances; that we have not yet recovered from the reductions previously made ; and that additional assistance is required to prevent the work from falling into serious arrears. CROWN LANDS AcT, 1890. · The consolidated Crown Lands Act passed last Session is a measure of the vei·y greatest importance to the country, and one that has received considerable attention in one form or another ever since the Land Bill of 1883 was introduced to Parliament. A short Land Act was passed each year since 1885, with the result that there were no fewer than twelve Acts to be studied before a stranger could acquire a competent knowledge of our Land Laws. If, therefore, for no other reason than that of consolidation, the Bill would have been hailed with satis­ faction. It, however, aims at the important principle of encouraging agricultural settlement in Mining Districts.

  • Geology, Geomorphology and Soils of Wellington Park
    Geology, geomorphology and soils of Wellington Park The geology of Wellington Park forms the physical foundations for the landscape and the soil. Millions of years of erosive processes and change have shaped the area to form the landforms we know today. The foothills feature sedimentary sandstones and mudstones laid down during the Permian Period (230-280 million years ago). These are now visible in the foothills of the Mountain around Fern Tree, South Hobart and Lenah Valley. Creamy white to grey in colour these mudstones and sandstones are visible in horizontal or gently dipping layers, sometimes up to a metre thick. In some places brachiopods and bryozoans may be seen. Sandstones rich in quartz formed during the Triassic (180 -230 million years ago) and covered the mudstones. Today these can be seen above approximately 600m in the cliffs and promontories around the Springs (including Rocky Whelans Cave), Sphinx Rock, Crocodile Rock and Snake Plains. On the western slopes of the Glen Dhu Rivulet val ley the Yellow Cliffs are 50m high and extend for 1km, making it the highest and longest sandstone cliffs in the State. A thick sheet of dolerite intruded during the Jurassic Period 170 million years ago. Shrinkage cracks developed while the molten magma cooled, forming large vertical columns with polygonal cross- sections. Block faulting is in part responsible for the main landform trends of eastern and central Tasmania. Mount Wellington and the Derwent Valley were formed some 150 million years ago by block faulting. This has influenced the erosional development of the size and form of the Wellington Range.
