  • Aboriginal Sentencing in Western Australia in the Late 19Th Century with Reference to Rottnest Island Prison
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 79 077–085 (2011) SUPPLEMENT Aboriginal sentencing in Western Australia in the late 19th century with reference to Rottnest Island prison Neville Green 182/85 Hester Ave, Merriwa, Western Australia 6030, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Between 1841, when Rottnest Island was proclaimed a legal prison exclusively for Aborigines and the Aborigines Act, 1905, at least 18 Acts and amendments were proclaimed to protect, employ and punish Aboriginal people in Western Australia. This paper considers several of the laws passed after 1870, the manner of policing and sentencing in the northern districts of the colony and the transfer of those convicted under these laws to Rottnest Prison. The application of sentencing laws in the Gascoyne, Upper Gascoyne and Upper Murchison is considered in some detail because in 1884, the number of Rottnest prisoners originating from these districts exceeded the totals from all other districts in the colony. This in turn raises a question whether the number of prisoners originating from these districts may be attributable to an abnormally high rate of criminal acts or to the harsh judgements of those hearing the charges. KEYWORDS: policing, Murchison, Gascoyne, legislation INTRODUCTION (Green and Lois Tilbrook); Vol. VIII, Aborigines of the Southwest Region 1829–1840, (Sylvia Hallam and In the early 1980s, the Australian Institute of Tilbrook); and Vol. X, Far From Home: Aboriginal Aboriginal Studies funded a research project Prisoners of Rottnest Island 1838–1931, (Green and leading to the publication of what was expected Susan Moon, later Susan Aguiar).

They are portrayed in a metal plaque on the side of the monument. Below is a Bas relief of the three explorers The inscription on a plaque on the monument explains why it was erected. A Case Study of Conflict This monument was erected by C.J. BROCKMAN As a fellow bush wanderer's tribute to the memories of PANTER, HARDING AND GOLDWYER Earliest explorers after Grey and Gregory of this Terra Incognita, attacked at night by treacherous natives were murdered at Boola Boola near Le Grange Bay on the 13th November 1864 Also as an appreciative token of remembrance of MAITLAND BROWN one of the pioneer pastoralists and premier politicians of this State, intrepid leader of the government search and punitive party, his remains together with the sad relics of the ill fated three recovered at great risk and danger from the lone wilds repose under a public monument in the East Perth Cemetery "LEST WE FORGET" A relief on another side of the memorial depicts the scene of the discovery of the bodies of the explorers. Maitland Brown's expedition forced two Aborigines to lead them to the explorers' camp. The body of one explorer is depicted in the centre of the scene; the other two are in the tent to the right.

  • Colonial Expressions of Identity in Funerals, Cemeteries, and Funerary Monuments of Nineteenth- Century Perth, Western Australia
    Article Colonial Expressions of Identity in Funerals, Cemeteries, and Funerary Monuments of Nineteenth- Century Perth, Western Australia Sandra F. Hayward Independent Scholar, Perth, WA 6001, Australia; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 10 July 2018; Published: 18 July 2018 Abstract: A general cemetery was established in 1829–1830 for the town of Perth, Western Australia, and during the rest of the nineteenth century, other cemeteries were added to the complex to cater for various Christian denominations as well as for Chinese and Jewish communities. In all, seven contiguous cemeteries were used over the colonial period in Perth. By 1899, when the cemetery complex was closed, approximately ten thousand people were buried there. The deceased or their bereaved loved ones chose funerals, epitaphs, burial locations, and funerary monuments to express social, ethnic, religious, familial, and gendered identity. These expressions of identity provide more information than just birth and death dates for genealogists and family historians as to what was important to the deceased and their family. In the first half of the nineteenth century, identities were dominantly related to family, whereas later in the century, identities included religion, ethnicity, and achievements within the colony of Western Australia. Some expressions of identity in Perth contrast with those found in other Australian colonies, especially in regard to the use and types of religious crosses in the Christian denominations. Keywords: headstone; epitaph; mortuary symbology; Western Australia; settler colonial theory; deathscape 1. Introduction In December 1828, when the future Lieutenant Governor of Western Australia received his instructions from the British Colonial Secretary before sailing to establish the colony, the instructions included directions on establishing cemeteries.

  • West Kimberley Place Report
    WEST KIMBERLEY PLACE REPORT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY ONE PLACE, MANY STORIES Located in the far northwest of Australia’s tropical north, the west Kimberley is one place with many stories. National Heritage listing of the west Kimberley recognises the natural, historic and Indigenous stories of the region that are of outstanding heritage value to the nation. These and other fascinating stories about the west Kimberley are woven together in the following description of the region and its history, including a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship over the course of more than 40,000 years. Over that time Kimberley Aboriginal people have faced many challenges and changes, and their story is one of resistance, adaptation and survival, particularly in the past 150 years since European settlement of the region. The listing also recognizes the important history of non-Indigenous exploration and settlement of the Kimberley. Many non-Indigenous people have forged their own close ties to the region and have learned to live in and understand this extraordinary place. The stories of these newer arrivals and the region's distinctive pastoral and pearling heritage are integral to both the history and present character of the Kimberley. The west Kimberley is a remarkable part of Australia. Along with its people, and ancient and surviving Indigenous cultural traditions, it has a glorious coastline, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, pristine rivers and vine thickets, and is home to varied and unique plants and animals. The listing recognises these outstanding ecological, geological and aesthetic features as also having significance to the Australian people. In bringing together the Indigenous, historic, aesthetic, and natural values in a complementary manner, the National Heritage listing of the Kimberley represents an exciting prospect for all Australians to work together and realize the demonstrated potential of the region to further our understanding of Australia’s cultural history.

  • INTRODUCTION Environmental History in Western Australia Before 1980
    INTRODUCTION Environmental History in Western Australia before 1980 Geoffrey Bolton Murdoch University Amateur and professional historians both contributed to the evolution of environmental history in Western Australia. While due recognition must be made of the influence of international and eastern Australian scholarship, the historical geographers in particular, it remains the case that much of the impetus for recognising the importance of environmental factors in the Western Australian past came from historians working locally. This should not be surprising in a society of recent European origin which until the 1960s depended on wool and wheat as major staples. Researchers tracing historical change over the relatively brief period of settlement since 1829 could not help observing rapid transformations of landscape and ecology during that period.
