His tribal name was Goobalathaldin meaning 'the ocean, dancing', describing a 'rough sea'.(Telgen and Andres 132) He was an active and prominent figure involved in reviving and preserving the cultural life of the Lardil people. His best known works are a series of children’s picture books that retell traditional Aboriginal stories including ‘The Rainbow Serpent’. Dick was born about 1920 on Langu-narnji Island, joined to Mornington Island by a sandbank at low tide, and part of the North Wellesley Islands group in the Gulf of Carpentaria. His mother, Gathagin, gave birth to him under a clump of Pandanus palms. (Roughsey, Moon 16) His father's name was Goobalathaldin. Dick’s early memories were of his mother carrying him while she hunted for food. His young life was carefree as he played naked with his brothers. He spent the earliest part of his childhood in the bush living a traditional Indigenous lifestyle learning the ceremonies and dreaming stories of his ancestors. He learnt the rich oral history of the Lardil tribe from his father. His ancestral relatives were three people, Marnbil the leader, his wife Gin-Gin, and her uncle Dewallewul. The activities the ancestors engaged in produced the topography, flora and fauna that exist today. (Roughsey, Moon 23) The white missionaries convinced Dick’s parents to bring him to the Presbyterian mission school on Mornington Island when he was 7 or 8 years old. He was initially scared of his new surroundings but he soon settled in and had a happy but tough Christian education. He was given the name “Dick― at the mission. His father died while he was at the mission school. Dick enjoyed going back to his family home on holidays. On one of these holidays he caught the eye disease trachoma, which affected his vision and caused problems for him in later life. On these holidays he did his fair share of hunting and fishing. He saw his first small aeroplane - of the Flying Doctor service - while living at the mission school. He left school at about 13 years of age and continued his education with the tribal elders, learning Lardil laws and the ways of hunting. He learnt when to feast and when to dance. He did not undergo ceremonial initiation — normally undertaken around this age — because the missionaries had asked the elders to stop the ceremonies. Dick spoke Lardil language but not Damin language, as he is not initiated.(Roughsey, Moon 63) Roughsey and his wife, Elsie, had six children together over a period of almost twenty years. His children Mervyn, Raymond, Kevin, Eleanor, Basil and Duncan were raised primarily by their mother on Mornington Island as their father frequently travelled for work. While he was away Elsie sent him lists of things she wished him to purchase and send back to her on Mornington Island. In his absence, Raymond assumed the father figure role and helped his mother to raise the younger children. The Roughsey children attended school on Thursday Island as Dick believed that an education there would lead to greater employment opportunities on mainland Australia. His brother, Lindsay, also lived on Mornington Island with his family; he too was an artist, regularly sending pieces to Percy Trezise for him to sell. Dick and Lindsay apparently had a troubled relationship. In about 1940 Roughsey moved to mainland Australia to start paid employment. He worked for a few years in manual jobs such as stockman, deckhand, fisherman, sailor and yardman before serving in the Second World War. When returning from service, Roughsey returned to Mornington Island where he began family life with wife, Elsie. Roughsey began to show interest in painting and, after meeting Percy Trezise, began to develop a personal style that was saleable to a new art market. Roughsey began to work with oil paints and established a body of work that exists today as a record of an emerging contemporary Aboriginal art movement. Roughsey established himself as a well-respected artist and supporter of cultural heritage projects that protect Indigenous culture. His work with Trezise to record the position of ancient Aboriginal sites and important rock paintings was one of the first of its kind and focused on knowledge within the wider community about respect and preservation. In 1968, with Percy Trezise, he rediscovered the important archaeological site of Hann River, in the central Cape York Peninsula. Roughsey was involved with the international exhibition program of the Aboriginal Arts Board [AAB]. The AAB was responsible for numerous travelling exhibitions to approximately 40 countries along with publications and gifts of Aboriginal works to overseas museums. This stimulated an interest in Aboriginal art. In 1973, Roughsey was appointed inaugural chair of the AAB by then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and continued in this position until 1975, however, his involvement with the AAB is documented before and after this peiord. (Berrell 13) Roughsey met Percy Trezise in 1962 at Karumba Lodge at the mouth of the Norman River.

  • Differing Relations to Tradition Among Australian Indigenous Homeless
    TDSR VOLUME XXVI NUMBER II 2015 59 D iffering Relations to Tradition amongst Australian Indigenous Homeless People PAUL MEMMOTT This essay explores a growing, visible form of Indigenous homelessness in contempo- rary Australia that can be termed “spiritual homelessness,” but which has not been ad- equately defined or understood using empirical evidence. Selected case studies provide a means of understanding the distinction between two categories of public-place-dwell- ing Aboriginal people: those who are reproducing their traditions in foreign places in a way that corresponds with the 2014 iaste conference theme “Mobility and the Reimagi- nation of Traditions”; and those who are unable to reconnect with their traditions and are spiritually bereft, corresponding with those who have no effective “Anchor to Their Tradi- tions in Place,” another conference theme. It concludes by offering suggestions for fur- ther research and project implementation in the area of Indigenous behavior settings. A growing, visible form of Indigenous homelessness in contemporary Australia is be- ing termed “spiritual homelessness,” but is currently without adequate definition or understanding based on empirical evidence. In this article I argue that this concept divides mobile Aboriginal public-place dwellers who are absent from their homeland and living itinerant lifestyles in towns and cities into two categories: those who have lost their traditions (spiritually homeless) and are chronically homeless, and those who are maintaining their traditions in a new itinerant lifestyle through the re-creation of tradi- tional place properties wherever they camp or reside. Paul Memmott is a Professor in the School The above analysis sets up a potential hypothesis about spiritual homelessness of Architecture and Institute for Social being a disconnect with homeland places and extended kin.

  • Introduction: a Return
    `Introduction A RETURN In Australia’s far north, heat greets a visitor like a warm hug, envelop- ing the body as it exits an air-conditioned aeroplane. It’s still some time from what is known as the ‘Wet’, and residents here will have months of the ‘build up’ left to contend with before the clouds open and mon- soon storms bring sweet relief. For now, I’m covered in sweat, beads springing forth across the bridge of my nose and rivulets forming, running between my shoulder blades, and down the backs of my legs. Waves of heat rise from the tarmac where a small aeroplane waits, bak- ing in the midday sun, and blow towards the small building where a small number of passengers sit on rows of plastic chairs. I’m returning to the small Aboriginal community of Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia, a very remote island that I have been visiting since 2006 (see fi rst map in the frontmatter). The small commercial plane in which I’m travelling departed from the Australian east-coast city of Cairns, and is now making a brief stop in the small town of Normanton before fl ying on to the island community. My fel- low passengers are the usual mix of Aboriginal people and government workers from the range of service delivery agencies across the region. The fl ight attendant calls ‘all aboard’ and those making the onwards journey from Normanton to Mornington Island trudge across the tar- mac and resume their seats for take-off.

  • 15. Dugong Hunting As Changing Practice: Economic Engagement and an Aboriginal Ranger Program on Mornington Island, Southern Gulf of Carpentaria
    15. Dugong Hunting as Changing Practice: Economic engagement and an Aboriginal ranger program on Mornington Island, southern Gulf of Carpentaria Cameo Dalley Introduction Chapters in this volume and papers in a special edition of The Australian Journal of Anthropology in 2009 address the intersection of anthropology with economics. A particular focus has been the ways in which Indigenous cultures might relate to conceivably more foreign notions of market economies. One prominent example, which conceptualised Aboriginal engagements in economic enterprise, was the ‘hybrid economy’ model offered by Altman (2001). The model featured three intersecting realms: the ‘market’, the ‘state’ and the (Aboriginal) ‘customary economy’. Important components of hybridity were the ‘linkages’, ‘dependencies’ and ‘cleavages’ between the various realms, which created particular opportunities, Altman (2001:5) argued, for economic development. Others, however, such as Martin (2003:3) and Merlan (2009:276), questioned the capacity of such sectors to exist in any way autonomously, instead pointing to their ‘recursive’ and ‘interrelated’ natures. These themes were similarly evident in the ethnographically rich analyses of local forms of economic relations by Austin-Broos (2003) and Smith (2003). These explorations in economic anthropology draw heavily on broader discourses about the degree to which Aboriginal culture could be considered to exist autonomously from the culture of broader Australia. These discussions were particularly advanced by the contributions of Merlan (1998, 2005, 2006). Merlan’s ethnography of the Aboriginal people of Katherine in the Northern Territory led her to propose a model of Aboriginal culture as having been transformed through interaction with others and, thus, having become thoroughly ‘intercultural’.
