  • Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and His Exploration of Australia Felix
    Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and Australia Felix Rod Bird Red Gum Festival, Cavendish 14 April 2018 1 Cavendish Red Gum Festival (13-15 April 2018) Anthony Watt, a committee member for the festival, asked me if I would provide an introduction to the forum by presenting Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and his exploration of Australia Felix. Anthony expressed a wish for me to deal with the River Red Gum in SW Victoria and the Major’s journey of exploration in 1836. He was clearly also interested in a theatrical presentation, assuring me that he would be able to borrow a suitable costume for the occasion from the Harrow Sound and Light Show! This short discourse is not the theatrical performance at Cavendish on the 14th of April 2018, where a major part was an impression of the good Major through a variety of sources, including his second-in- command Granville Stapylton, and the presentation of images of some of our majestic River Red Gum giants. It is a rather more sober (but hardly in-depth) presentation of the man and his explorations in eastern Australia – it is simply an introduction to the man and the legend for those who know little of him and his accomplishments. I have also presented here photographs of many of the plants that Mitchell saw and collected on his journey through south-west Victoria. Lastly, in this article I draw attention to the nature of the ‘soft’ and wet landscapes through which Mitchell’s bullocks toiled with their heavy drays – and how that has changed following settlement.
