  • "Jacky Jacky Was a Smart Young Fella": a Study of Art and Aboriginality in South East Australia 1900-1980 Sylvia Klein
    "Jacky Jacky Was a Smart Young Fella": A study of art and Aboriginality in south east Australia 1900-1980 Sylvia Kleinert A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University, April 1994. xiv A note on the title The title of my thesis, "Jacky Jacky Was a Smart Young Fella" is a well-known south eastern Aboriginal song. As in any folk tradition, the origins of the song are obscure and wording varies according to time, place and performer. My title follows the version sung in 1961 by Alick Jackomos, a lifelong supporter of Victorian Aborigines and recorded by Alan West, then a curator at the Museum of Victoria. Some performers, including Percy Mumbulla from the south coast and Alick Jackomos attribute the song to the Wallaga Lake community, others, like the Aboriginal singer, Jimmy Little, and the ethnographer, Anna Vroland, favour Lake Tyers. In 1968 Percy Mumbulla claimed Jacky Jacky was a corroboree song taught to him by Sam Drew (Bubela) however the Lake Tyers informants cited by Vroland attribute the English verses to Captain Newman, manager of Lake Tyers station in 1928- 1931 : they maintain the chorus refers to the arrival of steamer traffic between Bairnsdale and Orbost at the turn of the century. The tune, in all cases, resembles the Liverpool song, "Johnny Todd". The song thus selectively incorporates from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal traditions. Most particularly, "Jacky Jacky" encapsulates the way that south eastern Aborigines accommodated a colonial presence by parodying, and thereby gaining some control over, existing stereotypes. Through this inversion, humour becomes a tactical weapon in a song of political protest played back to the majority culture.

  • Last Battle of the Clans
    Alfred Howitt's "Last Great Battle of the Clans" (1) Peter Gardner 1855 in Gippsland was the year in which the chain of events which Howitt called the 'last great battle of the clans' occurred. These events started late in 1854 when between one and four Jaitmathang (Omeo Aboriginals) were killed at an unknown location somewhere between Sale and Dargo, by members of the Braiakaulung Kurnai. There followed a series of bold raids and 'payback', or revenge killings which culminated in a number of face to face confrontations of the two groups. These groups represented virtually all the surviving Aboriginals in Gippsland as well as a number from other tribes including those of Omeo and Mt Buffalo. These occurrences involved unusual alliances and were an example of the continuing decline and breakdown of tribal custom and organisation. To help understand this process of decline and before examining the events themselves, which have been called 'tribal warfare' by some, it is necessary to examine the various authorities on tribal sources and the main sources of the affairs. Tribal Organisation and the Alliances For many years I had a preference for Howitt's classification of Gippsland tribal organisation before changing to the more modern categorisation of Tindale the reasons for which it is not necessary to enter into here. (2) The main difference between Howitt and Tindale on Gippsland tribal organisation was that Howitt considered the Kurnai as a single tribal unit whereas Tindale considers each of Howitt's 'clans' as tribal units. Readers can examine the two maps below to see how closely the boundaries of Tindale correspond with those drawn by Howitt.

    annualreport2008 [annual report & financials] [1] From the Chair mike ZaFiropoulos In the last twelve months Regional Arts Victoria has strived to ensure long-term, sustainable cultural development for regional artists and communities. As an active member of Regional Arts Australia, RAV successfully renegotiated its delivery of the Regional Arts Fund in Victoria for a further four years, until June 2012. As part of this, it has secured a further commitment for the support of the Regional Cultural Partnership Program, which allows RAV to work with local government partners to deliver resources, including funding advice, training and program delivery. In the year of the Prime Minister’s historic apology to indigenous At our May 2009 AGM, we give heartfelt thanks and say goodbye to Australians, Regional Arts Australia’s largest conference was long-serving elected members Andrea Lane and Kaz Paton, both delivered in our cultural heart, Alice Springs.
