The Owen Cavanough Family Historical Society The Owen Cavanough Family Historical Society Newsletter December 2016 HMS SIRIUS FLAGSHIP OF CAPTAIN ARTHUR PHILLIP ‘S, FIRST FLEET, PROBABLY OF ABOUT 512 TONNES, HER BEST SPEED IN A FAVOURABLE BREEZE WAS AROUND 10 KNOTS. [NATIONAL LIBRARY OF AUSTRALIA] Welcome to the Christmas issue of our newsletter. This will be Sandra’s last edition. From next year Darren Riley will be bringing a new dimension to our pages as he takes up the challenge of keeping his late father-law, Peter Pitts’, legacy alive. We welcome Darren’s youth and enthusiasm and wish him well in this new endeavour. Pat Holdorf remains our convenor and the holder of the official master Cavanough family tree. A back-up tree is held by myself and Alan in case of disaster with Pat’s computer such as viral attack or ransom ware. After what is now generations of research and information given by family it would be a shame to ever lose it all.

IN THE NEWS Horse trainer Brett Cavanough is making the move from Albury to Scone with his horses. On land adjacent to Scone racecourse Brett is having 20 new boxes constructed for his horses. In the meantime his team will base themselves in Toowoomba. SCOTT ALLAN CAVANOUGH & CAROLYN JOAN (NEE ROTHE) Scott has 21 years of Foreign Exchange experience having dealt Spot, Forwards, Options and Dual Currency Investments. He began his career in February 1986 where he worked as a spot USD/JPY broker for Tullet and Tokyo and his clients included Citibank, Bankers Trust, Bank of America, Bank of Tokyo, Sumitomo Bank, Societe Generale and HSBC. He witnessed the move of the USD/JPY from 200.00 to 78.00 and back to 160.00 over an 11 year period and saw FX turnover of up to USD 500M a day. Scott took time off from his career to open his own business which was to become one of the most successful Day Spas on the North Shore in Sydney. A return to the Financial Markets saw him take on a role as Business Development Manager for the Commonwealth Bank before moving into a role as a Spot and Forward dealer. He then assumed a Structured Solutions role to help clients manage the risks with their FX exposure. To relax Scott likes to attempt the odd swim in July from Dover to Cap Gris Nez. Designer Carolyn Cavanough of Desire Beauty and her husband, financial market specialist, Scott, have navigated her penchant for contemporary New York loft style – "matte textures, minimalism, layered tonal greys, the excitement of the future" – with his love of mid-century style with its polished stainless steel and "comfort of the past". In their new Lindfield cottage they've reached a happy compromise. "As Scott spends much time in the garden, we agreed that he could design the exterior areas including the outdoor kitchen. It is fitted with traditional cooking appliances; a teppanyaki plate is a concession to me!" Carolyn laughs adding that inside she has been left to her own devices."The interiors have a distinct New York sensibility with concrete kitchen benchtops and oversize sliding doors. However, as a concession to Scott, I have incorporated some subtle details including lights by iconic mid-century designers such as Verner Panton and Louis Poulson plus a Barcelona chair and sofa. "The Barcelona is a classic made popular in the 1930's that's perfect for a contemporary home. It has the enduring detail that Scott appreciates" she says. The bedroom melds his and her styles: a delicate chandelier sparkles with Swarovski pink and blue crystals lending a 1950s ambience and the floor is whitewashed giving a more gentle feel than the downstairs matt grey flooring. The bedding is in tonal greys, a palette that is continued in the ensuite. Explore a timeline of historic Aboriginal events from 1770 to 1899. The original inhabitants of the Hawkesbury district were the Darug tribe of Aboriginals, also spelt as Dharug or Daruk. The river, which they called Derrubbin was a focal point as a source of food, i.e. fish, eels, water birds, & mussels and transport, in their bark canoes. Yams, a staple food, grew along the banks of the river. On the sandstone platforms they engraved images of animals and mythological figures and in the rock shelters they displayed their ochre and charcoal art. The Hawkesbury was also a source of stones for axes and pebbles for making barbs, points and scrapers. To the north west were the Darkinung from Wilberforce and Wiseman's Ferry on the Hawkesbury River to Singleton. The Hawkesbury district was the frontier of conflict from 1794 until around 1830. Problems arose between the aborigines and the settlers, as the local tribes found their access to the river and their food supply blocked by farms. After a number of skirmishes between the local Darug aboriginal tribe and the settlers, the NSW Corp was sent to investigate. A detachment of the military remained permanently in the district for over half a century. In 1802 Governor King interviewed several natives from the Hawkesbury, and they stated that they did not like to be driven from the few places that were left on the banks of the river, where they alone could procure food. The first incident of Europeans being tried for murdering Aboriginals took place in 1799 following the deaths of two Aboriginals in the Hawkesbury district. Five men appeared in Court on trial and following four days of evidence and deliberation the prisoners were found guilty. A despatch from England in 1802 relayed the news that the five men charged with murder, were acquitted. In 1889 an Aboriginal Reserve was established on 150 acres at Sackville, and a number of Aborigines lived on the reserve. Andrew Barber, the last Aborigine associated with the Reserve, died in 1943. The site was made a public reserve and a memorial was erected in memory of the Hawkesbury tribes. Many local Aborigines married into Hawkesbury families and today their descendants are proud of the link with their Aboriginal heritage. 1770 29 April: Captain James Cook claims possession of the whole east coast of Australia for the British Crown. Many history classes and books start teaching Australian history from this point on. 1788 25 January: Captain Phillip raises the Union Jack at Sydney Cove to start a penal colony. Aboriginal resistance flares within a few days of arrival of the tall ships. Owen Cavanough and Margaret Darnell (Dowling) see their first glimpse of Sydney. 29 May: The first conflict between the First Fleet arrivals and Aboriginal people takes place near Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. Two convicts are killed. December: Arabanoo is the first Aboriginal person captured by Europeans. Captain Phillip estimates an Aboriginal population of 1,500 people living in the Sydney Region. The total Aboriginal population is believed to be between 750,000 and 1 million. 22 December Margaret Dowling gives birth to son Charles Green at Sydney Cove. 1789 1 February baby Charles Green is baptised in St Phillip’s, Sydney. April: A smallpox epidemic decimates the Eora Aboriginal people of Port Jackson, Botany Bay and Broken Bay. November: Governor Phillip captures two Aboriginal men - Bennelong and Colebee. Colebee escapes but Bennelong is kept at Government House for five months.

  • A Different Mode of War? Aboriginal 'Guerilla Tactics' in Defining The
    A different mode of war? Aboriginal ‘guerilla tactics’ in defining the ‘Black War’ of Southern Queensland 1843-1855 A paper presented July 2014 AHA Conference, University of Queensland, Brisbane RayKerkhove, PhD Abstract Frontier violence is now an accepted chapter of Australian history. Indigenous resistance underlies this story, yet it has barely been examined as a military phenomenon (Connor 2004). Our understanding of military strategies Indigenous groups employed, and their broader objectives in undertaking resistance remains vague, being more often assumed than proven. Building on Laurie’s and Cilento’s contentions (1959) that an alliance of Aboriginal groups staged a fairly successful ‘Black War’ in southern Queensland during the 1840s and 1850s, the author seeks evidence for a historically definable (1843-1855) conflict during this period, complete with a record of Indigenous declaration, victories, coordination, leadership and planning. As the Australian situation continues to present elements which have proved difficult to reconcile with existing paradigms for military history, this study applies definitions from guerilla and terrorist conflict (e.g. Eckley 2001, Kilcullen 2009) to explain key features of the southern Queensland “Black War.” It also compares this to similar frontier engagements in other parts of Australia. The author concludes that Australian “resistance” wars followed their own distinctive pattern – achieving coordinated response through inter-tribal gatherings and sophisticated signaling; relying heavily on economic sabotage and targeted payback killings; and guided by self-depreciating “loner-leaders” much more wily and reticent than their equivalents in other parts of the world. The author also argues that contrary to the claims of military historians such as Dennis (1995), there is ample evidence for tactical innovation.

  • Legislative Assembly
    4087 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 14 November 2007 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. George Richard Torbay) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT The Speaker tabled, pursuant to section 52A of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, the report entitled "Auditor-General's Report 2007—Financial Audits—Volume Four", dated November 2007. Ordered to be printed. WAR MEMORIAL LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (INCREASED PENALTIES) BILL 2007 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 5 June 2007. Mr FRANK TERENZINI (Maitland) [10.03 a.m.]: I support the War Memorial Legislation Amendment (Increased Penalties) Bill 2007. This bill gives effect to the commitment made by Premier Morris Iemma during the election campaign to double financial penalties for damaging or desecrating war memorials. It proposes doubling relevant penalty provisions under sections 8 (2) and 8 (3) of the Summary Offences Act 1988, as well as penalties under the Anzac Memorial (Building) Act 1923 and the Anzac Memorial (Building) By-laws 1937. This bill demonstrates that the Iemma Government is keeping its commitment to support our veterans and to protect the memory of those who have fallen for this great country during times of war. It will send a strong message to would-be vandals that if they damage or desecrate our sacred war memorials then they risk serious penalties. I foreshadow the Government's intention to move a further amendment to this bill. As members are aware, this bill was first introduced earlier this year, before being adjourned for the winter recess.

  • Appin Massacre
    Elimatta asgmwp.net May 2016 Aboriginal Support Group – Manly Warringah Pittwater ASG acknowledges the Guringai People, the traditional owners of the lands and the waters of this area 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE APPIN MASSACRE We are deeply sorry. We will remember them. See full story on Page 2 Elimatta 1 ASGMWP Newsletter May 2016 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE APPIN MASSACRE One of the darkest days in the Illawarra’s early European history was marked with a somber ceremony as a group of indigenous and non-indigenous people gathered at Cataract for the 200th anniversary of the Appin Massacre. Responsible for the deaths of at least 14 Dharawal men, women and children – with some shot or decapitated and others driven over cliffs near Cataract River – the massacre was one of the first government- ordered killings of Aboriginal people in Australia’s settlement records. On April 17, 1816 the military was deployed, at Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s orders, to “inflict terrible and exemplary punishments” on “hostile natives” who made “the smallest show of resistance”. He wrote in his diary that the military had been “authorised to fire on them to compel them to surrender; hanging up on trees the bodies of such natives as may be killed on such occasions, in order to strike the greater terror into the survivors”. NSW Reconciliation co-chair Cecilia Anthony said the commemoration ceremony, which has been held since 2000, helped to highlight an event in Australia’s history which was not well known. “Because of the way Australian history was taught until fairly recently, the full history of post-invasion just wasn’t known,” Ms Anthony said.
