HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 to 1914 and WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910 Rusheen’s Website: www.rusheensweb.com HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 TO 1914 AND WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910. The 1884 Land Act divided NSW into three regions, each with its own administrative districts, and each supervised by a local Land Board. Mary Turner Shaw in Yancannia Creek (Melbourne University Press 1987), explains how the system affected the Western Region. The current leases of the vast Pastoral Holdings of the squatters had to be surrendered and divided into two equal portions. 1) One portion reverted to the squatter as a Pastoral Leasehold guaranteed against selection during the currency of his lease, which in the Western Division was 15 years. The rents, appraised for the first 5 years by the local Land Boards, were to increase automatically at 5 year intervals (first by a quarter, then by a half), after which the leasehold could be auctioned by the government without compensation. 2) The other half, the Resumed Area, in the Western Region, where the country was now recognized as unsuitable for small selections for agriculture, was offered as Homestead Leases to a maximum of 10,240 acres (16 square miles). The Homestead Lessees had to pay for a survey of the land applied for as a Homestead Lease, pay an annual fee as set down by the Board, enclose the property with the strictly prescribed standard of fencing, and live on their land for at least six months of the year. These conditions were strictly monitored by inspection and any failure to confirm to these conditions could result in forfeiture of the lease. RUSHEEN CRAIG July 2012.

    The River Torrens—friend and foe Part 2: The river as an obstacle to be crossed RICHARD VENUS Richard Venus BTech, BA, GradCertArchaeol, MIE Aust is a retired electrical engineer who now pursues his interest in forensic heritology, researching and writing about South Australia’s engineering heritage. He is Chairman of Engineering Heritage South Australia and Vice President of the History Council of South Australia. His email is [email protected] Beginnings In Part 1 we looked the River Torrens as a friend—a source of water vital to the establishment of the new settlement. However, in common with so many other European settlements, the developing community very quickly polluted its own water supply and another source had to be found. This was still the River Torrens but the water was collected in the Torrens Gorge, about 13 kilometres north-east of the City, and piped down Payneham Road to the Valve House in the East Parklands. Water from this source was first made available in December 1860 as reported in the South Australian Advertiser on 26 December. The significant challenge presented by the Torrens was getting across it. In summer, when the river was little more than a series of pools, you could just walk across. However, there must have been a significant body of water somewhere – probably in the vicinity of today’s weir – because in July 1838 tenders were called ‘For the rent for six months of the small punt on the Torrens for foot passengers, for each of whom a toll of one penny will be authorised to be charged from day-light to dark, and two pence after dark’ (Register 28 July).

J. Noye Collection, Gift of Douglas and Barbara Mullins 2004, Art Gallery of South Australia This exhibition provides opportunities for students to explore how the art of photography coincided with the settlement of the state, displaying a continuous record of its development through portraiture, scenic views, landmark buildings, and major events from the 1840s to 1940s. Major photographers of the period include Townsend, Duryea, Samuel Sweet, George Freeman, H. H. Tilbrook, Frederick Joyner and John Kauffman. In South Australia, the fi rst photographs were made in 1845, nine years after European settlement, and only six years after the fi rst daguerreotypes were produced in France. Early South Australian pioneer photographers used large cameras, tripods with blackout hoods and heavy, fragile glass plates to create negatives. They often used a tent as a darkroom and would process their fi lms on the spot, using poisonous and infl ammable chemicals such as bromicides and nitrates on fragile papers. Unlike contemporary photographers, they did not shoot multiple photographs to capture these historic works, but after painstaking preparation and careful composition took only one or two shots! In the early stages of the colony, every new camera was seen as a newsworthy event. Photography was praised for it’s truthfulness, accuracy and ability to record fi ne detail. During the mid-1850s there was a growing number of amateur photogrpahers in Adelaide.

  • Contexts for Conservation 20132013 National Conference --- Adelaideadelaide 23-23--- 25 October
    ContextsContexts for Conservation 20132013 National Conference --- AdelaideAdelaide 2323---- 25 October Caught in time: Preserving South Australia’s Old Colonists for a digital future Beth M Robertson & Peter Mitchelson Abstract The State Library of South Australia holds one or more versions of 17 photographic portrait mosaics created between 1872 and 1908. They depict close to 1,800 men and women who settled in the South Australian colony between its founding in 1836 and 1876. Known as ‘the Old Colonists’, the scope of the collection is unique in Australia. The Library is nearing the end of a long-term project to conserve the mosaics in collaboration with Artlab Australia, digitise the portraits, create a consolidated index of names and provide online access to both the index and the portraits. A significant proportion of the mosaics were in extremely poor condition. The treatments applied to restore five mosaics that had been roughly cut into halves or quarters are described in detail. The reasons for the neglect lie in the value assigned to the mosaics by generations of family history researchers. They have not been regarded as cultural artifacts per se but as containers of individual portraits of researchers’ forebears. The Library’s past management of the collection reflected the public’s view of the mosaics’ significance. Keywords Photographs; portrait mosaics; composites; significance Introduction The State Library of South Australia holds a collection of photographic portrait mosaics unparalleled in Australia. It comprises 17 mosaics depicting 1200 men and 600 women identified as colonists and pioneers of South Australia. The mosaics were created between 1872 and 1908; and they survive variously as artifacts, card-mounted studio prints and photographic copies.

  • HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 to 1914 and WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910
    Rusheen’s Website: www.rusheensweb.com HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 TO 1914 AND WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. From 1903 many of these Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases Starting out on my Family History I looked for Tarangara and was directed to Tarangara run on Para Pastoral Holding and told that this was all that I needed to know. It took time and patience in those days to get to the story of Tarangara - Homestead Lease. The history of all the Homestead Leases is there at the State Archives but to uncover their stories and those of the people who changed western New South Wales we needed the names of the Homestead Lessees and the Homestead Lease numbers. By providing all the original Homestead Lessees and now the transfers of the Homestead Leases and their conversion into Western Land Leases I hope that the full history of the development of western New South Wales can now be told. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. In sharp contrast to the previous land system, every aspect of these Homestead Leases was highly regulated and policed. In August 1885, on the first day of issue, over a million acres of land was taken up as Homestead Leases. From 1903 the majority of the Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases which offered greater security of tenure. In 1884 most of western New South Wales was made up of vast Pastoral Holdings, each Holding being divided into runs.
