  • Rewriting Black-Wbite History in the Wake of Native Title
    Human agency, historical inevitability and moral culpability: Rewriting black-wbite history in the wake of Native Title Shayne Breen Whatever may be the evils of society in a state of civilization they are assuredly less in character and degree than those of savage life; and I can never regret that the fair and beautiful country of Tasmania has been entirely reclaimed from the dominion of the debased and treacherous Aborigines; though l cannot but comment that it has been done in part in sad violation of those laws established by Him who hath made of one blood all men to dwell upon the face of the earth. 1 2 In the 1993 Native Title debate, Geoffrey Blainey sketched a version of the history of black-white contact in Australia in which he sought to cast doubt on the need for native title legislation. In a series of newspapers articles and the occasional reported speech, Blainey articulated a position on native title which argues that in the course of dispossession most Aborigines died from disease and that Aboriginal society would inevitably decline in the face of the natural planetary spread of superior western civilisation. Blainey delivered these views in support of his position that the then federal Labour government was being too generous to the country's Aborigines in what he sees as a guilt-ridden and politically-correct attempt to make reparation for perceived past WTongs.' In his criticism of the High Court Mabo decision, Blainey argued that the judges were told the wrong story of the past; Blainey's story, presumably, is the right one.

  • FIRST CONTACT in PORT PHILLIP Within This Section, Events Are Discussed Relating to the Colonisation of Port Phillip in 1835
    READINGS IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY -The History you were never taught THEME 6: FIRST CONTACT IN PORT PHILLIP Within this section, events are discussed relating to the colonisation of Port Phillip in 1835. The names of the principal characters involved, that of William Buckley, John Batman, John Pascoe Fawkner and William Barak are well known to the public. However as the saying goes, history is written by the winners. This section therefore endeavours to lift the veil on this period of our colonial history through an understanding of the Aboriginal perspective. A little understood narrative dictated by William Barak in 1888 is examined to reveal new insights about the influence of William Buckley on Aboriginal thinking, and the location of the 1835 treaty meeting with Batman. AH 6.1 Buckley’s Adjustment to Tribal Life AH 6.2 Murrungurk’s Law AH 6.3 Barak’s meeting with Batman AH 6.4 Interpreting Barak’s story AH 6.5 Batman’s second bogus treaty AH 6.6 The Naming of the Yarra River in 1835 AH 6.7 Melbourne’s feuding founding fathers THEME 6 QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. If Buckley survived 32 years in Aboriginal society, was he as dumb as he was painted by some colonists? 2. If Batman had his treaties signed by eight Aboriginals, in ink, on a log, in middle of winter, how come there is not one ink blot, smudge, fingerprint or raindrop? 3. Who was the nicer person, John Batman or John Pascoe Fawkner? BUCKLEY’S ADJUSTMENT TO TRIBAL LIFE William Buckley is of course firmly entrenched in Australian history and folklore as ‘The Wild White Man’.

In particular I would like to thank Anna Brooks, Senior Paper Conservator, State Library of New South Wales, for her professional advice and commitment to the project. I am grateful to Anna for making the trip to Melbourne, with the von Guérard ‘Journal’, and to the State Library of New South Wales for making this possible. I thank Doug Bradby, Buninyong, for sharing his knowledge of Ballarat and its goldfields’ history with me and as always I thank my partner, Richard de Gille for his assiduous proofreading of the document. I wish to acknowledge and thank the State Library of Victoria for its support of my research with a State Library of Victoria Creative Fellowship (2012-2013). 1 Von Guérard reached ‘journey’s end’, Melbourne, on 28 December 1852.

Traditional art can still be found on rock faces and traces of shell middens have been left behind by local Aboriginal people, who hunted, gathered and fished in the area’s well-wooded surroundings and sheltered harbour. Early contact with the outside world may have included sightings of ships from Portugal and China, but James Cook’s arrival in 1770 changed Sydney forever. Captain James Cook claimed the east coast of the continent for Britain and 18 years later, Captain Arthur Phillip led the 11 ships of the First Fleet into Port Jackson on 26 January 1788. The aim was not to build a great city but to establish a prison settlement for British

  • Tim Hogan – John Pascoe Fawkner Papers, 1832-71
    24 John Pascoe Fawkner Papers, 1832–71 Australian Manuscripts Collection MS 13273 Acquired 1998 John Pascoe Fawkner (1792–1869)1 and John Batman (1801–39) are the principal claimants as the founders of Melbourne. Fawkner’s papers are therefore highly significant to understanding Melbourne’s early colonial history. They were acquired in 1998 with support from the State Library Foundation and the Ivor Ronald Evans Foundation, and complement a much larger collection of material Fawkner himself donated to the Library shortly before his death, in 1869, and additional material acquired in 1931.2 The papers comprise such items as Fawkner’s detailed directions for navigating Port Phillip Bay in a sailing vessel, a petition to establish Melbourne’s first market, proposed land regulations, guidelines for town planning and some observations on education, social order, drunkenness and religion. One document, ‘Constitution and form of government’, is a miniature political manifesto for the new settlement. It begins by declaring that ‘all men have equal political rights’, providing they are of ‘sane mind’. Fawkner then outlines some essential constitutional arrangements, such as a Legislative Council with elected members and a president, frequency of elections and meetings of the council. In keeping with Fawkner’s egalitarianism, he believed no property qualification should be required to hold political office, and that ‘all persons of ability and moral deportment’ be eligible for such public positions. Fawkner even envisaged mass meetings of the citizenry to resolve issues that became deadlocked in the Legislative Council. His vision also showed a practical approach when he considered how the more tiresome positions of public office should be allocated: Those offices thought more irksome than honourable shall be decided by the Council selecting a certain number of, say, ten persons who shall cast lots [for] who is to serve for the office required.3 After a one-year term an exemption would apply until all other citizens had served in a similarly irksome role.

The historiography of the battle for the stockade has been in general one that perpetuates a tale of gratuitous massacre of poorly prepared innocents by a ruthless military. The historiography has also omitted to consider Eureka as part of an established international model of civilian armed resistance to oppression.
