  • Northern Kimberley Birds by H
    Vol. 5 SEPTEMBER 15, 1974 No.6 Northern Kimberley Birds By H. R. OFFICER, Olinda, Victoria. Cut off from Derby by a triple barrier of ranges, and from Wyndham by equally difficult country with rough rivers to cross, the Northern Kimberleys were isolated and generally neglected until the beef-road construction was begun less than ten years ago. Previously the tracks were so rough and damaging to the cattl~ being driven to the Derby meatworks, that the "Air-beef" project was conceived and put into operation as an alternative at Glenroy Station. This proved quite efficient, though somewhat costly, until the beef-road was completed, and the availability of road-trains rendered it redundant. This "Air-beef" project is probably about all that most people know of the Kimberleys. When I made my first visit in 1967 the road had got only as far as Mount Barnett Station, and I overcame the difficulty by flying out from Wyndham to my friend's property "Doongan". On this visit I was fortunate to get the opportunity to visit the Denedictine Mission at Kalumburu, for the mission fathers definitely do not welcome visitors. My host had ordered Townsville Lucerne seed from them and had to collect it, so I got the chance of a legitimate visit. I should say that the fathers proved most hospitable. After G. F. Hill covered the north of the Kimberleys in 1909, collecting for Gregory Mathews, no interest was taken in the area until the British Museum/Harold Hall Expedition went there in 1968. What I saw during my stay at "Doongan", and during a second visit a month later, coming up by road as far as Mount House Station, whetted my appetite for more, and I was delighted when I received an invitation to join Mrs.

  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.
