  • Colonial Signals of Port Jackson

    Colonial Signals of Port Jackson

    Colonial Signals of Port Jackson by Ralph Kelly Abstract This lecture is about the role signal flags played in the early colonial life of Sydney. I will look at some remarkable hand painted engraved plates from the 1830s and the information they have preserved as to the signals used in Sydney Harbour. Vexillological attention has usually focused on flags as a form of iden - tity for nations and entities or symbol for a belief or idea, but flags are also used to convey information. When we have turned our attention to signal flags, the focus has been on ship to ship signals 1, but the focus of this paper will be on shore to shore harbour signals and the unique system that developed in early Sydney to provide information on shipping arrivals in the port. These flags played a vital role in the life and commerce of the colony from its foundation until the early 20th Century. The Nicholson Chart The New South Wales Calendar and General Post Office Directory 1832 included infor - mation on the Flagstaff Signals in Sydney, including a coloured hand-painted en - graved chart of the Code of Signals for the Colony. 2 This chart was prepared by John 3 Figure 1. naval signals 1 Nicholson, Harbour Master for Sydney’s Port Jackson. It has come to be known as the Nicholson Chart and is one of the foundation docu - ments of Australian vexillology. 4 The primary significance of the chart to vexillologists has been that this is the earliest known illustration of what was described on the chart as the N.S.W.

    13.0 Remaking the Landscape

    12 Chapter 13: Remaking the Landscape 13.0 Remaking the landscape 13.1 Research Question The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and planting to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire. Modifications to this site, its topography and vegetation, can therefore be interpreted within the theme of landscape as an expression of the ideology of colonialism. It is considered that this site is uniquely placed to address this research theme which would act as a meaningful interpretive framework for archaeological evidence relating to environmental and landscape features.1 In response to this research question evidence will be presented on how the Government Domain was transformed by the various occupants of First Government House, and the later Government House, during the first years of the colony. The intention behind the gathering and analysis of this evidence is to place the Stables building and the archaeological evidence from all phases of the landscape within a conceptual framework so that we can begin to unravel the meaning behind these major alterations.

Nestling mortality in a translocated population of hihi/stitchbirds (Notiomystis cincta) A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Rosemary Jane Rippon 2010 ii For Dinge who was there, For the birds, my raison d’être, and For my Dad who shared the passion iii iv Photo – Raewyn Empson “The more sophisticated the level of our knowledge is The more effective we will be in dealing with the natural world” His Holiness the Dalai Lama Abstract Nestling mortality in a reintroduced population of the endangered and endemic hihi/stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta) was investigated over one breeding season (2008-09) at Zealandia – Karori Sanctuary, New Zealand, to determine whether disease impacted on nestling survival. High rates of both hatching failure (56%) and nestling mortality (39%) in the first clutch made this the least successful breeding season since translocation in 2005. Overall 34% of eggs survived to fledge, compared to 52% and 58% in 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively. Samples collected from 34 live and 25 dead nestlings were screened for evidence of disease. Bacterial and fungal pathogens were isolated from gastrointestinal swabs but there was no evidence of coccidia or other intestinal parasites in faecal samples. There was no evidence of significant abnormalities in the blood collected from hihi prior to fledging in the haematological parameters tested, and all blood samples were negative for malarial parasites.
