  • Derwent Estuary Program Environmental Management Plan February 2009
    Engineering procedures for Southern Tasmania Engineering procedures foprocedures for Southern Tasmania Engineering procedures for Southern Tasmania Derwent Estuary Program Environmental Management Plan February 2009 Working together, making a difference The Derwent Estuary Program (DEP) is a regional partnership between local governments, the Tasmanian state government, commercial and industrial enterprises, and community-based groups to restore and promote our estuary. The DEP was established in 1999 and has been nationally recognised for excellence in coordinating initiatives to reduce water pollution, conserve habitats and species, monitor river health and promote greater use and enjoyment of the foreshore. Our major sponsors include: Brighton, Clarence, Derwent Valley, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough councils, the Tasmanian State Government, Hobart Water, Tasmanian Ports Corporation, Norske Skog Boyer and Nyrstar Hobart Smelter. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Derwent: Values, Challenges and Management The Derwent estuary lies at the heart of the Hobart metropolitan area and is an asset of great natural beauty and diversity. It is an integral part of Tasmania’s cultural, economic and natural heritage. The estuary is an important and productive ecosystem and was once a major breeding ground for the southern right whale. Areas of wetlands, underwater grasses, tidal flats and rocky reefs support a wide range of species, including black swans, wading birds, penguins, dolphins, platypus and seadragons, as well as the endangered spotted handfish. Nearly 200,000 people – 40% of Tasmania’s population – live around the estuary’s margins. The Derwent is widely used for recreation, boating, fishing and marine transportation, and is internationally known as the finish-line for the Sydney–Hobart Yacht Race.

  • Wellington Park Social Values and Landscape Assessment Report
    Wellington Park Management Trust WELLINGTON PARK SOCIAL VALUES AND LANDSCAPE – AN ASSESSMENT Prepared by McConnell, A. March 2012 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – main photo: Mountain Snow [source WPMT] inset photos: :R - Sleeping Beauty [source WPMT] L - Fred Lakin at Lakins Lair [photo: A. McConnell] Explanatory Note This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust as part of a multi-stage assessment of the landscape values of Wellington Park. This assessment focuses on the social values of Wellington Park, in particular those which relate to landscape. The assessment is based on a ‘Community Values Survey’, undertaken in late 2010-early 2011 by means of a short questionnaire that the greater Hobart community generally was encouraged to complete. The geographic scope of the study was the whole of Wellington Park. The aim of this study is to understand to what extent, and in which ways, the community, in particular the Greater Hobart community, value Wellington Park. A core part of the assessment was to assess how the Wellington Park landscape is appreciated in order to contribute to an understanding of the full range of landscape values that are being assessed in the broader Wellington Park Landscape Assessment. Wellington Park has acknowledged important landscape values which have applied since the early days of European settlement of Hobart, yet these have not been previously assessed formally or in detail. The main aim of the overall Wellington Park Landscape Assessment therefore is to provide important landscape values information to assist in managing the Park to meet the objectives of the Wellington Park Management Plan.

History of Anthropology Newsletter 39.1 (June 2012) / 3 1 The Utilization of Truganini’s Human Remains in Colonial Tasmania Antje Kühnast, University of New South Wales, [email protected] Between 1904 and 1947, visitors to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart who stepped into the Aboriginal exhibition room were instantly confronted with the death of their colony’s indigenous population—or so they were led to believe. Their gaze encountered a glass case presenting the skeleton of “Truganini, The Last Tasmanian Aboriginal” (advertisement, June 24, 1905). Also known as “Queen Truganini” at her older age, representations of her reflect the many, often contradictory, interpretations of her life and agency in colonial Tasmania. She has been depicted as selfish collaborator with the colonizer, savvy savior of her race, callous resistance fighter, promiscuous prostitute who preferred whites instead of her “own” men (e.g. Rae-Ellis, 1981), and “symbol for struggle and survival” (Ryan, 1996).
