  • 'Ways of Seeing': the Tasmanian Landscape in Literature
    THE TERRITORY OF TRUTH and ‘WAYS OF SEEING’: THE TASMANIAN LANDSCAPE IN LITERATURE ANNA DONALD (19449666) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (English and Cultural Studies) 2013 ii iii ABSTRACT The Territory of Truth examines the ‘need for place’ in humans and the roads by which people travel to find or construct that place, suggesting also what may happen to those who do not find a ‘place’. The novel shares a concern with the function of landscape and place in relation to concepts of identity and belonging: it considers the forces at work upon an individual when they move through differing landscapes and what it might be about those landscapes which attracts or repels. The novel explores interior feelings such as loss, loneliness, and fulfilment, and the ways in which identity is derived from personal, especially familial, relationships Set in Tasmania and Britain, the novel is narrated as a ‘voice play’ in which each character speaks from their ‘way of seeing’, their ‘truth’. This form of narrative was chosen because of the way stories, often those told to us, find a place in our memory: being part of the oral narrative of family, they affect our sense of self and our identity. The Territory of Truth suggests that identity is linked to a sense of self- worth and a belief that one ‘fits’ in to society. The characters demonstrate the ‘four ways of seeing’ as discussed in the exegesis. ‘“Ways of Seeing”: The Tasmanian Landscape in Literature’ considers the way humans identify with ‘place’, drawing on the ideas and theories of critics and commentators such as Edward Relph, Yi-fu Tuan, Roslynn Haynes, Richard Rossiter, Bruce Bennett, and Graham Huggan.

  • LANDMARKS Ilona Schneider – Seeing Comes Before Words
    LANDMARKS Ilona SchneIder – Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak... It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. John Berger Ways of Seeing 2 Mt Paris DaM 2013 (detail) giclée print, 100 x 137.4cm When you go out there you don’t get away from it all... you come home to yourself Peter dombrovskis on first looking at Ilona Schneider’s wonderful images of the Tasmanian landscape, viewers are likely to find themselves drawn in two conflicting directions. on the one hand, what appears in these images are indeed landscapes, and their appearance is not dissimilar from the way landscape appears within the tradition of ‘romantic’ landscape art. here we see landscape in its power and presence, in its seeming beauty and its sublimity, in its topographic singularity. on the other hand, this experience of landscape is tempered, perhaps even countered, by the sense that what appears are landscapes that may well be thought compromised, diminished, scarred by the marks of human activity and habitation. The tension between these conflicting directions is a large part of what gives these images such an immediately affecting character. These are not images from which one can easily stand aside or with respect to which one can remain neutral – as if what is presented are mere objects of aesthetic and spectatorial appreciation.

  • Tasmanian Creativity and Innovation Tasmanian Historical Studies. Volume 8. No 2 (2003): 28-39
    Tasmanian Creativity and Innovation Tasmanian Historical Studies. Volume 8. No 2 (2003): 28-39. Rambling in Overdrive: Travelling Through Tasmanian Literature CA Cranston Two years ago I published an anthology of original and published writings about Tasmania titled Along these lines: From Trowenna to Tasmania1 — a mistake it turns out (as far as the title goes) as readers generally assume that Trowenna is some other place, rather than some other time. The idea was to situate various texts about Tasmania into context, so that when traveling the arterial highways of the heart- shaped island one was presented with stories and histories (time) that live on the sides of the road (place). This paper will address the theme of the conference (‘Originally Tasmanian. Creativity and Innovation in the Island State’) with a methodology similar to that ‘driving’ the anthology. It will examine the relationship between context (the origin) and text (the representation), and by implication, the relationship between natural and symbolic worlds. The ramble, which textually refers to the discursive — ideas, like automobiles, that ‘run about’ — will be accommodated, and as such will occasionally disrupt normal expectations of chronology, the historian’s purview. The motivation for the anthology came out of a need to experience at first hand niggling doubts about the textual construction of the island. I was a migrant so (in terms of the conference theme) I’m not ‘Originally Tasmanian’. I was living in a biotic community I knew nothing about and for which I had no language. I was presented with a textual culture I knew little about, and I was hungry for island stories.

  • CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club Trip 1972 by Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014
    CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club trip 1972 By Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014 Our anti clockwise route towards and up Federation Peak is depicted in orange above, with the exception of our detour off the loop to climb Burgess Bluff. We subsequently camped at Pineapple Flat, scrub bashed our way to Mount Picton, and eventually walked out to Blakes Opening along an unexpectedly civilized track. Map credit: Bill Filson 7 January 1972 We packed all our gear and then went shopping. We expect to be out for 7-10 days, and after packing the necessary food and excess, the food bill tallied 26 dollars for four, quite a lot of money. We went to local camping stores and got some extra equipment, then called in to chat with a few guys who could tell us something about the walk. We repacked everything after a counter lunch in a pub and off we went. We walked quite a way out of the main street of Hobart. Greg and I started hitching and were lucky, getting a lift with a guy who was going camping himself. I guess I was rather forward but I asked him if he’d mind picking up our two friends who were on the road already. He didn’t seem to mind, so we were all driven down to Geeveston. Had a few refreshments there and left details at the police station and gear at the council chambers. It was rather late to get a lift, it being 4.30 pm, but a local housewife drove all of us a few miles out of town.

He was educated at Launceston High School where he served as a prefect. In 1934 he won the Hemingway and Robertson Scholarship. 1 At that time he had completed a commercial course at Launceston High School and was proceeding further with accountancy studies. After leaving school Lloyd worked at D & W Murray wholesale and supply company in both Hobart and Launceston. He joined the 40th Battalion in 19392 and from May 1942 to November 1945 served with the RAAF attached to 90 and 92 Squadrons3. He became an instructor in the Central Flying School and from this time onwards flying became his life. On 12 April 1941 Lloyd Jones married Athalie Jean Flint of Hobart in Hobart. They had three daughters. Instrumental in forming the Southern branch of the Tasmanian Aero Club in 1945 he was subsequently appointed Manager and Chief Flying Instructor of the newly formed Aero Club of Southern Tasmania in 1948. An accident at Cambridge airport in July 1960 left him with serious injuries and curtailed his flying career. At that time he had clocked up 10,776 hours flying time. 4 An adventurous and skilled pilot, Lloyd Jones was the first photographer/pilot to take aerial photographs of the rugged mountains, lakes and beaches of South West Tasmania.
