  • Encounters Between Italian Migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away Is Home
    Flinders University Languages Group Online Review Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2016 ISSN 1446–9219 Land, Culture and New Ways of Belonging: Encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away is Home. La storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, Australia/Italy, 2012) Matteo Dutto Monash University ABSTRACT Stories of encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians have rarely been portrayed in film and documentary form by either Italian or Australian filmmakers, reflecting a lack of interest that is not incidental but, as I propose in this paper, can be better understood as constitutive to how migrants’ sense of belonging and identity is negotiated in contemporary Australia. To do so, I consider Far Away is Home. La Storia di Clely, a 2012 short documentary by Italian filmmaker Diego Cenetiempo that retells the story of Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, a Triestine Italian migrant who, after moving to Galiwin’ku on Elcho Island, married Warramiri leader and artist Terry Yumbulul and now identifies herself as part Triestine and part Indigenous. Drawing on theories of diasporic and multicultural filmmaking and on scholarship on whiteness, migration and identity studies within the Australian context, this paper argues that Far Away is Home reframes Clely’s story of migration to Australia as an encounter with Warramiri country and culture, thus proposing alternative and decolonizing modes of belonging and identity. INTRODUCTION The true Clely, my true self, is the one that thinks both in Triestine and in Aboriginal language and lives those two parallel lives. – Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, Far Away is Home: La Storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, 2012 – my translation) 1 Black and white pictures and footage of migrant ships entering the ports of Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney constitute an enduring reminder of the history of early Italian migration to Australia.

  • Journal of a Voyage Around Arnhem Land in 1875
    JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE AROUND ARNHEM LAND IN 1875 C.C. Macknight The journal published here describes a voyage from Palmerston (Darwin) to Blue Mud Bay on the western shore of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and back again, undertaken between September and December 1875. In itself, the expedition is of only passing interest, but the journal is worth publishing for its many references to Aborigines, and especially for the picture that emerges of the results of contact with Macassan trepangers along this extensive stretch of coast. Better than any other early source, it illustrates the highly variable conditions of communication and conflict between the several groups of people in the area. Some Aborigines were accustomed to travelling and working with Macassans and, as the author notes towards the end of his account, Aboriginal culture and society were extensively influenced by this contact. He also comments on situations of conflict.1 Relations with Europeans and other Aborigines were similarly complicated and uncertain, as appears in several instances. Nineteenth century accounts of the eastern parts of Arnhem Land, in particular, are few enough anyway to give another value. Flinders in 1802-03 had confirmed the general indications of the coast available from earlier Dutch voyages and provided a chart of sufficient accuracy for general navigation, but his contact with Aborigines was relatively slight and rather unhappy. Phillip Parker King continued Flinders' charting westwards from about Elcho Island in 1818-19. The three early British settlements, Fort Dundas on Melville Island (1824-29), Fort Wellington in Raffles Bay (1827-29) and Victoria in Port Essington (1838-49), were all in locations surveyed by King and neither the settlement garrisons nor the several hydrographic expeditions that called had any contact with eastern Arnhem Land, except indirectly by way of the Macassans.

The township of Nhulunbuy has a population of around 3,200 and is situated in East Arnhem Land on the north western tip of the Gulf of Carpentaria 600 kilometres due east of Darwin. It is considered a vital lifeline to the outer regions with respect to the provision of shopping, hospital and health care services. Each year during the monsoonal season road access between communities within the region are not accessible by road and residents of these communities become dependent on air travel to access their basic needs. Gove Airport is located 15 kilometres from Nhulunbuy and services the communities of Nhulunbuy, Yirrkala, Gunyangara and some 80 other communities within East Arnhem Land. It also provides residents and visitors of East Arnhem Land a link with interstate and international travel through the gateway airports of Cairns International and Darwin International. It is operated by the Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited under a Deed of Agreement with Rio Tinto Alcan. Because of its strategic position, Gove Airport is a nominated alternate aerodrome for certain domestic and international carriers when access to their planned destination airport is inaccessible due to inclement weather or technical issues.

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

  • DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 3890 It Seems
    DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 It seems to be an extraordinary coincidence that the oil and gas reserves are between the two countries. I think that tells us we need to work things out together, not compete for it. How can we mutually benefit from this great resource? Do not forget that if we work this out well between East Timor and northern Australia— those reserves extend further into Indonesia. Indonesia is in need of energy just as we are. The three of us could work it out. There are opportunities for the Northern Territory to position itself well to provide support across the line so we can all benefit from this and open up. If we do that and cooperate, we could all end up in a far better position. There is much to be gained if we work together on this. I am happy to report to members who have an interest in this. I will have further meetings with government tomorrow to see how we progress this. I would like to see more detail about how the Arafura Games could be used to add some greater definition to this particular project, because this project of building a stronger commercial case for better aviation services in the region will be supported if we have a strong focus on the trilateral. Canberra will note it if we are proactive in this. Jakarta will recognise it as well. We need Jakarta and we need Canberra, and the way to do that is to show that we are finding creative ways to work together whether it is through education, the Chamber of Commerce in Eastern Indonesia, or seeking advice of the Australia Indonesia Business Council.
