  • Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 Œ 18 October 2012
    Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 { 18 October 2012 Emeritus Professor Garth Gaudry died in Sydney on 18 October 2012 after a long battle with a brain tumour. Those of us in the mathematical community will remember him for different reasons; as research collaborators, as a friend, a teacher, lover of red wine, rugby, music and many other things. Above all he will be remembered for leadership in promoting mathematical sciences in the community and politically. Personal connections Garth was my friend and colleague who came into my life at the end of the 1980s. An early encounter involved a meeting in a Carlton coffee caf´e with Garth, David Widdup and me. David was Executive Director of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (FASTS) and a wonderful friend of mathematics. Garth was the inaugural President of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Council (AMSC) and I had just become secretary. Garth and David were discussing a press release with what I can only describe as happy enthusiasm. As the language of the press release became more and more colourful, I thought this is going to be an interesting time. So it proved to be. Early history Garth’s family history dates from the First Fleet. It is a fascinating story of which he was rightly proud and so I have reproduced part of a speech his wife Patricia gave at a dinner for his 70th birthday as an appendix. He was the son of a Queensland primary teacher and spent his first nine years in Rockhampton. His father then became head teacher at Tekowai outside of Mackay and Garth completed his secondary education at Mackay High School, riding his Obituary:GarthIanGaudry 43 bike five miles each way.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • SL Magazine Autumn 2019
    –Autumn 2019 Message I promise that I don’t snoop on visitors to the Library, but just before Christmas I found myself attached, as it were, to a group passing through the new paintings galleries. One of them, a little peppery, didn’t like what he saw: ‘What’s all this? I thought this was supposed to be a Library. What have they done to the books?’ In recent issues of this organ I’ve had something to say about the shared history of libraries and museums, and we all know that the material now on display in the Mitchell Building represents part of a uniquely rich and important collection that has been growing for nearly 200 years. But what about the books? It’s gradually dawning on libraries around the world that the growth of digital access to reading material has not meant the demise of the printed word. If I’d had the chance, I would have assured our peppery visitor that the book is not dead, and it was never going to be. Even if print were in decline, we would still have a core obligation to protect, preserve and present the printed material in our collection, while continuing to add to it. Plans at your Library for 2019 include the expansion of our ‘Critics’ Picks’ collection of new books reviewed in major journals in Australia, Europe and the United States. We have ordered more desks and chairs for the Mitchell Library Reading Room — thanks to the generous support of our Foundation — to cope with the increased number of readers we are delighted to welcome.

  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.

  • Francis Barrallier, Explorer, Surveyor, Engineer, Artillery Officer, Aide-De-Camp, Architect and Ship Designer: Three Years in New South Wales (1800-1803)
    FRANCIS BARRALLIER, EXPLORER, SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, ARTILLERY OFFICER, AIDE-DE-CAMP, ARCHITECT AND SHIP DESIGNER: THREE YEARS IN NEW SOUTH WALES (1800-1803) VALERIE LHUEDE' Ensign Barrallier [... discharged] the duties of Military Engineer and Artillery Officer, superintending the Military Defences, Batteries and Cannon of this Settlement, in addition to which he has most arduously and voluntarily executed the duties of Civil Engineer and Surveyor to the advancement of the Geography and the Natural History of the Territory.2 I have informed you [Sir Joseph Banks] in my several letters of the great use Ensign Barrallier, of the NSW Corps, was of to me and the public, first in going to the southward and surveying the coast from Wilson's Promontory to Western Port; next in surveying Hun ter's River, where he went twice; and since then in making journey to the mountains, which was introductory to his undertaking the journey he afterwards performed. [...] As Col. Paterson has thought proper [...] to write me officially that Mr. Barrallier's excursions were contrary to the Duke of York's instructions, I found myself obliged to give him up, and relinquish this highly desirable object for the present. I [was] concerned at it, as the young man has such ardour and perseverance that I judged much public benefit would have resulted to his credit and my satisfaction. [...] In conse quence, I [...] claimed him as my aide-de-camp, and mat the object of discovery should not be totally relinquished, I sent him on an embassy to the King of the Mountains. Governor Philip Gidley King3 Chris Cunningham, in his book Blue Mountains Rediscovered* quotes Mark Twain in Following the Equator (1831) as saying, "Australian history is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities, and contradictions and incredibilities, but they are all true, they all happened".

To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.
