  • Australia's Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901
    IRSH 63 (2018), Special Issue, pp. 45–63 doi:10.1017/S0020859018000214 © 2018 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis A Natural Hulk: Australia’s Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901* K ATHERINE R OSCOE Institute of Historical Research, University of London Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the British colonial period, at least eleven islands off the coast of Australia were used as sites of “punitive relocation” for transported European convicts and Indigenous Australians. This article traces the networks of correspondence between the officials and the Colonial Office in London as they debated the merits of various offshore islands to incarcerate different populations. It identifies three roles that carceral islands served for colonial governance and economic expansion. First, the use of con- victs as colonizers of strategic islands for territorial and commercial expansion. Second, to punish transported convicts found guilty of “misconduct” to maintain order in colonial society. Third, to expel Indigenous Australians who resisted colonization from their homeland. It explores how, as “colonial peripheries”, islands were part of a colo- nial system of punishment based around mobility and distance, which mirrored in microcosm convict flows between the metropole and the Australian colonies. ISLAND INCARCERATION Today, the island continent of Australia has more than 8,000 smaller islands off its coast.1 As temperatures rose 6,000 years ago, parts of the

  • Island Parks of Western Eyre Peninsula Management Plan
    Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Island Parks of Western Eyre Peninsula 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 3 June 2006 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 18 6 Front cover photograph of a White-bellied Sea-eagle landing courtesy of Nicholas Birks This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Island Parks of Western Eyre Peninsula Management Plan , Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD The 17 parks included in this management plan include most islands off western Eyre Peninsula between Head of Bight and the southern tip of the peninsula. Most were constituted under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972, although many had been managed for conservation purposes since at least the 1960s. Together the parks cover over 8 300 hectares. The Island Parks have a rich cultural heritage. Prior to colonial settlement, many of the islands were used as whaling and sealing stations, some of which are still visible today. Post-colonial settlers used some of the larger islands for agriculture and guano mining. More than 130 species of native animal are found within the parks, many of which are of conservation significance. The management plan emphasises the importance of these parks as habitat and breeding areas for many threatened species, including Australian Sea Lions, Greater Stick-nest Rats and White-bellied Sea Eagles. The plan seeks to see further protection afforded to sensitive breeding sites through the exclusion of visitors to vulnerable areas.

CHAPMAN, D.T. MOORE, R.G. REES AND E.W. GROVES Note Search the Brown database using the fields noted below. Introduction The Investigator expedition was planned by the President of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820), who himself had sailed to Australia with Lt. James Cook R.N. some thirty years earlier. It was commanded by Lt. Matthew Flinders R.N. (1774–1814) and on board was a small contingent of scientific gentlemen. These included Robert Brown as naturalist, Ferdinand Bauer (1760–1826) as natural history artist, William Westall (1781–1850) as landscape artist, John Allen (b.1775) as practical miner, and John Crosley (c.1763–1817) as astronomer — although Crosley left the expedition at the Cape of Good Hope. Publications on Brown's life and botanical work are available, including a biography of him by Mabberley (1985), and an account of his Australian collecting sites by Vallance (1990). There is a catalogue of his Zoological papers at the Natural History Museum, London, by Wheeler (1993) and of his Botanical papers by Moore & Beasley (1997). The Flora of Australia (1: 33, 2nd edn., 1999) also gives a bibliography of Brownian studies. Brown's Diary of the expedition is published by Vallance et al., (2001). The botanical collections and supporting documents For historical reasons Brown's main collection of dried Australian plants made between 1801 and 1805 (the top set), is at BM with smaller collections at E, K, and LE (Flora of Australia 1: 33).
