Key issues tabled included: The extension of the Local Fare Scheme (LFS) past 30 June 2019. Inclusion of ferry travel within the LFS. Scheduled maintenance of the Thursday Island ring road. Inclusion of the Horn Island Airport Road as a gazetted road maintained by DTMR. Proposed development of Quarantine Wharf with boat ramp facility. Technical Working Group – 27 October, 2018 TSIRC Mayor facilitated the joint TSIRC/TSC Technical Working Group. Robust discussions were held around planned infrastructure works for the region. The Whole of Government (WOG) Integrated Capital Works and Infrastructure Program indicates that planned investment for the next 3 years for TSC is $42.9m with a need for all State Departments to provide future planned infrastructure to ensure continuity of works to sustain our local building industry. TSC has been very successful through the Indigenous Employment Opportunity Plan (IEOP) process to achieve well above requirements in the Training Policy. Most of this stems from the federally funded Quetta Close project where through David Ahboo local contractors are cooperating in achieving local employment as well as increasing spend on local goods and services. This is a huge improvement from previous years and Council was showcased as a positive example and this now used as a benchmark to attaining greater economic benefits locally.

  • Navigating Boundaries: the Asian Diaspora in Torres Strait
    CHAPTER TWO Tidal Flows An overview of Torres Strait Islander-Asian contact Anna Shnukal and Guy Ramsay Torres Strait Islanders The Torres Strait Islanders, Australia’s second Indigenous minority, come from the islands of the sea passage between Queensland and New Guinea. Estimated to number at most 4,000 people before contact, but reduced by half by disease and depredation by the late-1870s, they now number more than 40,000. Traditional stories recount their arrival in waves of chain migration from various islands and coastal villages of southern New Guinea, possibly as a consequence of environmental change.1 The Islanders were not traditionally unified, but recognised five major ethno-linguistic groups or ‘nations’, each specialising in the activities best suited to its environment: the Miriam Le of the fertile, volcanic islands of the east; the Kulkalgal of the sandy coral cays of the centre; the Saibailgal of the low mud-flat islands close to the New Guinea coast; the Maluilgal of the grassy, hilly islands of the centre west; and the Kaurareg of the low west, who for centuries had intermarried with Cape York Aboriginal people. They spoke dialects of two traditional but unrelated languages: in the east, Papuan Meriam Mir; in the west and centre, Australian Kala Lagaw Ya (formerly called Mabuiag); and they used a sophisticated sign language to communicate with other language speakers. Outliers of a broad Melanesian culture area, they lived in small-scale, acephalous, clan-based communities and traded, waged war and intermarried with their neighbours and the peoples of the adjacent northern and southern mainlands.

  • The Sri Lankan Settlers of Thursday Island 163
    CHAPTER SEVEN The Sri Lankan Settlers 1 of Thursday Island Stanley J. Sparkes and Anna Shnukal Introduction The dismantling of the White Australia Policy in the early 1970s, allied with periodic civil strife in their homeland, brought significant numbers of Sri Lankan immigrants to Australia. Few Australians, however, are aware that, a century before, hundreds of mostly male ‘Cingalese’ (as Sri Lankans were then called),2 mainly from the southern coastal districts of Galle and Matara in the British colony of Ceylon, came as labourers to the British colony of Queensland.3 The first of these arrived independently in the 1870s to join the Torres Strait pearling fleets, but larger numbers were brought to Queensland a decade later as indentured (contract) seamen on Thursday Island and, shortly thereafter, as farm workers for the cane fields around Mackay and Bundaberg, where many of their descendants still live. The arrival of the first batch of 25 indentured Sri Lankan seamen on Thursday Island in 1882 coincided with the importation of ‘Malays’ and Japanese. Yet, unlike the latter, comparatively little has been published on their origins, lives and destinies, nor their contributions to the business, social and cultural life of Thursday Island. Some of those first arrivals demonstrated a remarkable entrepreneurial flair, taking up employment as ‘watermen’ (boatmen), ferrying passengers and 162 Navigating Boundaries cargo from ship to shore and subsequently taking out licences as small businessmen: boarding-house keepers, billiard-room proprietors, shopkeepers, pawnbrokers, boat-owners, gem and curio hawkers and commercial fishermen. They were joined by professional jewellers, part of the Sri Lankan gem-trade diaspora into the islands of South-East Asia during the last decade of the 19th century.
