Historical Archaeology, Paternalism and the Peel Island Lazaret ‘Intended solely for their greater comfort and happiness’: Historical archaeology, paternalism and the Peel Island Lazaret Jonathan Mark PrangneU BA (Hons) Department of Anthropology and Sociology A thesis submitted to the University of Queensland in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 1999 The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original and my own work, except as acknowledged in the text, and this thesis has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Jonathan Mark Prangnell Abstract The research presented in this dissertation centres on an historical archaeological analysis of the Peel Island Lazaret. The Lazaret was located on Peel Island in Queensland’s Moreton Bay and operated between 1907 and 1959. It was an isolated, patemalistically run institution for the treatment of Hansen’s Disease. In this study I use the historical archaeological investigation of the lives of the inmates and staff at the Lazaret to examine the role of paternalism as a governing force in the organisation of the place and in the lives of the people forced to live within its boundaries. From this analysis I generate information on the formal and disciplinary power relations that operated to develop and maintain the Lazaret. To undertake this study I develop a methodology based on Kosso (1991) that uses the distinct, epistemic entities of different written sources and the archaeological record to maintain the unique domain of each, yet determine their interrelatedness. This ensures the validity of the original basis for any interpretation of the archaeological phenemona. The written records of the Lazaret are divided into those written during the operation of the place and those written after the closure of the Lazaret and that look back upon it. They differ contextually and both can offer different yet equally legitimate starting points for interpretation. Analysis of archival and other documentary sources and archaeological survey and excavation are the methods employed in this research. From this analysis a number of developments occur. These include an understanding of the role of control and the iii use of space at the Lazaret, an understanding of the spatial and material aspects of paternalism and a demonstration that philosophies, such as paternalism, can be accessed archaeologically.

  • QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS and MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS AND MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, 28 September 1972) The growth and development of ports to handle seaborne trade has been vital to Australia, but nowhere has this been so marked as in Queensland, fortunate in possessing more deep-sea ports than any other State. From the founding of the convict settlement in Moreton Bay in 1824 and for many years thereafter, settlement, development and supplies depended entirely on sea com­ munications. With the movement of explorers, prospectors and settlers steadily northward, vessels sailed up the coast carrying supplies for the overland travellers: some prospectors and others took passage by sea rather than face the land journey. Both passengers and cargo had to be put ashore safely at a point on the coast nearest to their destination with sheltered water. In the earlier days of the nineteenth century it was essential that some of the vessels find shelter where there were supplies of water, firewood for the ship's galley, with such food as the virgin countryside offered and where the mariner in distress could make good repairs to his ship. With great thankfulness James Cook found such a haven in the Endeavour River in time of desperate need in 1770. As settlements grew and developed, merchant ships, in addition to maintaining services on the coast, now carried our products to oversea markets, returning with migrants and goods.

  • Reconstructing the Battle of 'Narawai (Moongalba)
    Reconstructing the Battle of ’Narawai (Moongalba) Ray Kerkhove [email protected] Abstract The Battle of ’Narawai on North Stradbroke Island, and skirmishes that culminated in this event (c. 1827–32) have been sidelined in recent decades, based on the assumption that the event was more likely a massacre, and that sources are too conflicted to build a workable narrative. Here we utilise known and unexamined sources, and the untapped oral tradition and environ- mental knowledge of Stradbroke Island Aboriginal peoples, to reconstruct both the build-up and phases of the confrontation. We find that our primary sources for this incident ultimately derive from Aboriginal informants; together with current Aboriginal perspectives, these allow a more nuanced and Aboriginal- driven narrative than is normally possible for a frontier wars skirmish. It is argued that the Battle of ’Narawai was not a one-sided massacre but rather a well- planned operation by Aboriginal combatants, orchestrated to provide tactical advantages. We contend that the battle merged tactics of traditional pullen- pullen (inter-tribal tournaments) with strategies more suited to the demands of the frontier wars, and that it was perceived as a victory by Aboriginal Stradbroke Islanders. Introduction Twenty years ago, Chilla Bullbeck called for the violent incidents within Australia’s frontier wars to be better memorialized.1 More recently, Raynald Lemelin has urged historians to develop Indigenous-based narratives concerning these events, to atone for the relative absence of this perspective.2 Subsequently, there have been cooper- ative studies with Aboriginal families, aimed at providing more nuanced detail. A good example is Heather Burke’s spatial reconstruction of the Rufus River incidents (1841).

Descendents of asylum inmates and local authorities are now trying to find out more about these fields of lost graves. ALI MOORE, PRESENTER: In Queensland, efforts are underway to unlock the secrets of one of the state's oldest cemeteries. The Dunwich Cemetery on North Stradbroke Island is mostly open grass fields on the shores of Moreton Bay. But beneath the surface lies the remains of at least 8,000 former inmates of a 19th Century asylum for the destitute. The descendants of asylum inmates and local authorities are now trying to find out more about the fields of lost graves. Peter McCutcheon reports.

This dissertation aims to fill the gap by using a research model and interdisciplinary approach for what may be termed an institutional biography. By these means it can be seen that the benevolent asylum was isolated, but that the physical isolation was only a symptom of social abandonment.
