With this year’s festival theme of ‘Having a Voice’, participants have seized on the opportunity to re-imagine, re-consider and re-interpret our heritage, and perhaps also to re-assess its impact in/on our community – now and for future generations. Building on the successes of previous heritage festivals, the National Trust of Tasmania management and staff have worked tirelessly in collaboration with the community to provide a wonderful festival program that truly promotes the exploration, recognition and preservation of our heritage. This year’s program has a full calendar of events, and it is excellent to see that this involves participants and organisations from right across the state. The continued success of the Tasmanian Heritage Festival is of course made possible each year by the committed support of very many people and organisations. So we would like to thank all the volunteers who so passionately dedicate their time, energy and skills to so many community organisations in every part of the state. Thank you too to all the organisations who are participating this year and contributing so importantly to the program through their particular event. This wide combination of local community events, offered across the state, provides a very rich tapestry of opportunities to celebrate our heritage. We hope you take up as many of these opportunities as you are able. A special acknowledgement must also be given to all of our National Trust volunteers and staff for their hard work and commitment in putting this festival together, which has not only made the festival possible, but has also contributed to the success it clearly promises to be. On behalf of the Board of the National Trust Tasmania, I should like to acknowledge most sincerely the key support given to The Tasmanian Heritage Festival by the Tasmanian State Government and the Australian Federal Government - and to thank them not only for their support to this festival but also for their recognition of Tasmania’s unique and important heritage.

  • Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
    Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Margaret C. Dillon. -ii- This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Margaret C. Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Established on a land grant in 1817, Woolmers Estate is significant for its history of property development using assigned convict labour. Convict labour was employed in exchange for food and clothing. The assignment system helped to develop the colonial infrastructure, reform convicts, assist settlers in establishing their estates, and in the case of Woolmers, develop the foundations of a successful pastoral property. The homestead assemblage of Woolmers provides evidence of the use of an assigned convict labour force in the extant convict workplaces such as the woolshed, blacksmith shop, stables, gardens and paddocks. The former chapel was built to assist convicts in their reformation. The layout and architecture of the estate demonstrate the strong distinction between master and servant and how that facilitated the assignment system. Woolmers retains an outstanding range of extant buildings that comprises houses, formal gardens, outbuildings, workshops, cottages, plants that along with numerous artefacts provide a rare record of the scale and range of operations of a substantial pastoral estate owned by wealthy colonial pastoralists.

  • Parramatta's Archaeological Landscape
    Parramatta’s archaeological landscape Mary Casey Settlement at Parramatta, the third British settlement in Australia after Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island, began with the remaking of the landscape from an Aboriginal place, to a military redoubt and agricultural settlement, and then a township. There has been limited analysis of the development of Parramatta’s landscape from an archaeological perspective and while there have been numerous excavations there has been little exploration of these sites within the context of this evolving landscape. This analysis is important as the beginnings and changes to Parramatta are complex. The layering of the archaeology presents a confusion of possible interpretations which need a firmer historical and landscape framework through which to interpret the findings of individual archaeological sites. It involves a review of the whole range of maps, plans and images, some previously unpublished and unanalysed, within the context of the remaking of Parramatta and its archaeological landscape. The maps and images are explored through the lense of government administration and its intentions and the need to grow crops successfully to sustain the purposes of British Imperialism in the Colony of New South Wales, with its associated needs for successful agriculture, convict accommodation and the eventual development of a free settlement occupied by emancipated convicts and settlers. Parramatta’s river terraces were covered by woodlands dominated by eucalypts, in particular grey box (Eucalyptus moluccana) and forest

  • Archaeology of the Old Iceworks, 35 Hunter Street, Hobart
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 123, 19R9 27 ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE OLD ICEWORKS, 35 HUNTER STREET, HOBART by Angela McGowan (with one tabie, one text-figure and four plates) McGOWAN, A.E., 1989 (31 :x): Archaeology of the Old lceworks, 35 Hunter Street, Hobart. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 123: 27-36. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.123.27 ISSN 0080-4703. Department of Lands. Parks and Wildlife, GPO Box 44A, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001; formerly Anthropology Department, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. The invention and development of refrigeration technology in the second half of the 19th century was a crucial factor in the success of Australia's meat export trade, although in Tasmania it was the fruit trade which made the most use of it. The Henry Jones Iceworks and cold-storage facility at 35 Hunter Street, Hobart, was probably established in 1903, involving extensive alterations to the existing building. Six of the seven insulated rooms in the building still contained refrigerant piping in 1986. This represented about one-twentieth of the volume of the original facility and was mostly used for cold storage. However, there is also evidence that most, if not all of the firm's ice-making took place on this site. The "Old Iceworks" was an important component of the industrial and commercial development of Hobart. Its remains were representative of refrigerating technology and equipment found throughout Australia in the early 20th century and were the last surviving ammonia iceworks in Tasmania. Key Words: ice-making, cold storage, historical archaeology, Hobart, Tasmania.

  • 13.0 Remaking the Landscape
    12 Chapter 13: Remaking the Landscape 13.0 Remaking the landscape 13.1 Research Question The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and planting to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire. Modifications to this site, its topography and vegetation, can therefore be interpreted within the theme of landscape as an expression of the ideology of colonialism. It is considered that this site is uniquely placed to address this research theme which would act as a meaningful interpretive framework for archaeological evidence relating to environmental and landscape features.1 In response to this research question evidence will be presented on how the Government Domain was transformed by the various occupants of First Government House, and the later Government House, during the first years of the colony. The intention behind the gathering and analysis of this evidence is to place the Stables building and the archaeological evidence from all phases of the landscape within a conceptual framework so that we can begin to unravel the meaning behind these major alterations.

How can you justify the Liberal Party's argument for higher pay for one of the highest paid people in the parliament?
