The first conference day is dedicated to postgraduate workshops convened by Conference Keynotes Prof. Jeff Malpas and Marian Pastor Roces, followed by two days of presentations. An optional day in Hobart at the end of the conference, on 8 December, includes a visit to MONA and a final keynote address by Dr Amanda Ravetz at TCotA, Hunter Street. The conference is hosted by the Tasmanian College of the Arts (TCotA: Launceston and Hobart) University of Tasmania, in association with the University's School of Architecture and Design, sharing the Inveresk site with TCotA; and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) whose Museum shares the Stone Building with TCotA, Academy of the Arts. The theme for the 2014 AAANZ Conference was chosen not for as a specific reference to the growing field of 'geocriticism' but for the potential embodied in the conjunction of its two elements, signified in the conference logo designed by Sawtooth ARI director, Marisa Molin. GEOcritical is a concoction that both delimits and opens up creative speculation. Taking the GEO prefix sits us firmly on earth, world, ground, and by extension, in specific places and conditions of being. Importantly for this conference, it can be the place from which to speak or create. Together with GEO, 'critical' can work in at least two ways: for example, referencing critique (in speaking, writing, process, action) in both its contemporary and historical frames; or in reference to the current state of the world or earth in which artists, designers and architects must inevitably intervene. In combination, GEOcritical can drive discussion on anything from intercultural critique to biennale culture, and beyond; expose the driving issues for contemporary artists, writers, researchers, designers, curators, makers, architects and administrators coming from differently grounded and located practices; while encouraging reflection on past practices and critical turns. LOCATION, LOCATION... The Inveresk Precinct is a short walk from Launceston city centre. The Academy Gallery, Venue 9 on the Arts Tasmania ARTBIKES map of Launceston (http://www.arts.tas.gov.au/artsatwork/artbikes) is the conference hub; Venue 7, Sawtooth ARI is the host of the Friday night conference launch; Venue 1, Design Tasmania, hosts the Saturday night AAANZ Book Prizes. A hardcopy of this map and a map of the Inveresk Precinct is included in the conference pack. 4 GEOcritical FRINGE The 2014 AAANZ Conference has supported a small "fringe" of events and exhibitions to add variety to the delegate experience. All Launceston galleries are listed on the Arts Tasmania ART BIKE map of Launceston (see <http://www.arts.tas.gov.au/artsatwork/artbikes>) DO/THINK GEOCRITICALLY: WORKSHOPS FOR TASMANIANS Supported by the Winifred Booth Trust Coordinated by Gillian Marsden TCotA Inveresk/ Thursday 4 December Ross Gibson (ACT), Denise Ava Robinson (TAS), Amanda Ravetz (UK), Julie Brooke (ACT) SAWTOOTH ARI Level 1, 160 Cimitiere Street GEOcritical Conference Reception, Friday 5 December 6.00pm Opening hours: Wednesday-Friday 12.00-5.00; Saturday 10.00-2.00 December Program: Birds of a feather, Ashley Bird (TAS); New game, Nancy Mauro-Flude (TAS); Sentimental blokes, Shannon Field (TAS) In addition to the December program, and with the support of the Winifred Booth Trust, Natalie Holtsbaum (Hobart) has curated the AAANZ GEOcritical exhibition in the Front Gallery: Geocritical: don't just agitate - decorate, Sue Henderson (TAS); The appearance of colours, Anne Mestitz (TAS); Unstable objects Antonia Sellbach (TAS) THE MILL GALLERY (Above Stillwater Restaurant, 2 Bridge Street, at the Gorge end of Paterson Street) Opening night Thursday 4 December, 5.30pm Opening hours: 10.00-5.00, 7 days NEO:GEOcritical is an exhibition curated by Amanda James (Josh Foley) that playfully explores allusions to geometry, geology and all the intersections occurring between these subjects. A wilfully eclectic show, James's intention has been to present artwork that may not only examine the criticality of our human situation upon the globe but has also aimed to display and arrange the work so that the conjunctions and juxtapositions between the works within the Mill Gallery serve to enhance, disturb or exemplify the theme of GEOcritical. Tasmanian artists: Joel Crosswell, Leon Cooper, Sue Henderson, Courtney Foote, Michelle Knowles, Matt Cottrell, Adam Foster, Nathan Clark, Edna Broad, Josh Foley, Marisa Molin, Colin Langridge, Peter Sly, Erin Linhart, Irena Grant- Koch, Gillian Marsden, Penny Mason, Nathan Stent, Sean Morris Supported by the gallery, curator and artists.

Is GEO-critical to be understood as a relative of geo-criticism? In what way does it genuinely address the earth (which is what is named in the prefix GEO-) and how might the earth be addressed 'critically? The framework for my discussion will derive from my own notion of the topographic - the GEO-critical being taken as indicating a possible mode of topographic inquiry . I will explore the nature of topography, and of topos, in relation to notions of

  • Institutions, Colonisation and the Economic Development of Western Australia and South Australia, 1829 to 1900
    School of Economics & Finance Institutions, Colonisation and the Economic Development of Western Australia and South Australia, 1829 to 1900 Darren Christopher O’Connell This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University June 2014 Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when the reference is made in the text of the thesis. Signed Darren Christopher O’Connell Curtin University | Chronology of Principal Events i Acknowledgments “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you” Maya Angelou y own personal experience of (de)colonisation occurred in March 1979 when I witnessed Britain’s Royal Navy evacuating Valetta Harbour in Malta (Figure 1) M following the expiry of the Anglo-Maltese defence treaty fifteen years after independence. I’ve also, as an adult, travelled to, and explored, many former colonies in various parts of the world, good and bad. History is a wonderful living phenomenon. The number of debts I have acquired in researching and writing this thesis beggars my ability to repay them adequately. There will be many who don’t get mentioned in this section, due to space limitations, but they will be, or have already, been thanked in person. Siobhan Austen and Felix Chan Figure 1: Spot the A uthor! deserve much of the credit for delivering this thesis, acting as surrogate mid-wives if you will.

The islands of the South Sea, no\v known as ..\ustralia and Tasmania, were discovered by European navigators, the latest of whom, James Cook, sailing under a comtnission from King George III, took possession of the whole eastern coast of both islands in the name of his Sovereign. Whatever may have been the effect of this in Public International Law, a title by occupation was obtained by the effective settlement of the islands and their appendages which followed. This was accompanied by express acts of Imperial Public Law, under which the whole of the lands so settled came, in legal intendment, into the possession of the King as representing the supreme executive pO"ler of the British Empire.
