  • Australian Settler Bush Huts and Indigenous Bark-Strippers: Origins and Influences
    Australian settler bush huts and Indigenous bark-strippers: Origins and influences Ray Kerkhove and Cathy Keys [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article considers the history of the Australian bush hut and its common building material: bark sheeting. It compares this with traditional Aboriginal bark sheeting and cladding, and considers the role of Aboriginal ‘bark strippers’ and Aboriginal builders in establishing salient features of the bush hut. The main focus is the Queensland region up to the 1870s. Introduction For over a century, studies of vernacular architectures in Australia prioritised European high-style colonial vernacular traditions.1 Critical analyses of early Australian colonial vernacular architecture, such as the bush or bark huts of early settlers, were scarce.2 It was assumed Indigenous influences on any European-Australian architecture could not have been consequential.3 This mirrored the global tendency of architectural research, focusing on Western tradi- tions and overlooking Indigenous contributions.4 Over the last two decades, greater appreciation for Australian Indigenous archi- tectures has arisen, especially through Paul Memmott’s ground-breaking Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley: The Indigenous Architecture of Australia (2007). This was recently enhanced by Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture (2018) and the Handbook of Indigenous Architecture (2018). The latter volumes located architec- tural expressions of Indigenous identity within broader international movements.5 Despite growing interest in the crossover of Australian Indigenous architectural expertise into early colonial vernacular architectures,6 consideration of intercultural architectural exchange remains limited.7 This article focuses on the early settler Australian bush hut – specifically its widespread use of bark sheets as cladding.

  • PIONEER HOMESTEADS of NORTH QUEENSLAND Ms. Ray Sumner
    PIONEER HOMESTEADS OF NORTH QUEENSLAND Ms. Ray Sumner The history and development of housing on the Northern pastoral properties is in many aspects essentially the same as that in the cities. In fact many successful graziers maintained a city house as well, in (Hiarters Towers or a southern city. Of more significance in the total history of tropical domestic architecture, however, was the scope for originality both in materials and in design, occasioned by necessity and by poor communication. In the coastal cities building materials were readily available from the south by ship and a basic design soon evolved which resisted variation for over half a century. While the Isolation of the pastoral properties insulated them from the vagaries of prevailing 'fashion' even in housing, there was also no pressure on the land to encourage demolition and re-development with higher density type housing so prevalent in the older parts of most cities. Therefore It is possible to find some of the huts and houses of pioneer builders still standing today and virtually unchanged in appearance since their erection. Temporary Shelters In the 1850's a number of pastorallst explorers moved north, some­ times with their flocks, to take up new grazing runs. These Included such well known families as the Alllnghams, Cunninghams, J.M. Black and J.G. Macdonald. The camps moved to a new spot almost every night, and the climate was so mild that a blanket was usually the only shelter needed. It provided warmth on a cool night, or was draped over a tree in a tent shape on a wet night.

  • The Book of the Bush
    The Book Of The Bush By George Dunderdale THE BOOK OF THE BUSH PURGING OUT THE OLD LEAVEN. While the world was young, nations could be founded peaceably. There was plenty of unoccupied country, and when two neighbouring patriarchs found their flocks were becoming too numerous for the pasture, one said to the other: "Let there be no quarrel, I pray, between thee and me; the whole earth is between us, and the land is watered as the garden of Paradise. If thou wilt go to the east, I will go to the west; or if thou wilt go to the west, I will go to the east." So they parted in peace. But when the human flood covered the whole earth, the surplus population was disposed of by war, famine, or pestilence. Death is the effectual remedy for over-population. Heroes arose who had no conscientious scruples. They skinned their natives alive, or crucified them. They were then adored as demi-gods, and placed among the stars. Pious Aeneas was the pattern of a good emigrant in the early times, but with all his piety he did some things that ought to have made his favouring deities blush, if possible. America, when discovered for the last of many times, was assigned by the Pope to the Spaniards and Portuguese. The natives were not consulted; but they were not exterminated; their descendants occupy the land to the present day. England claimed a share in the new continent, and it was parcelled out to merchant adventurers by royal charter. The adventures of these merchants were various, but they held on to the land.
