  • 1 the Naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland
    8. ‘Many were killed from falling over the cliffs’:1 The naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland Jonathan Richards University of Queensland 1. Placenames Many placenames in Queensland and Australia date from the frontier period. Names may arise from quite mundane circumstances, such as ‘Dry Creek’, ‘Bullock Creek’, etc. Some are ubiquitous, referring to relatively benign events and ideas – for example, the many Muddy, Rocky, Sandy and Stoney creeks – while other placenames are more suggestive of much more sinister affairs. The latter category includes places with frightening names: the various Murdering Creeks and Skull Holes, named after events that some people would apparently rather forget, or even better still, deny ever happened. A third group of names commemorate pioneers, some of whom are connected with episodes of genocidal violence on the Australian frontier. This paper concerns one of the latter. Many people, especially Aboriginal Australians, are distressed by the continuing use of ‘killing’ placenames, terms and words which may remind them of the extensive violence that First Australians still experience today. Although European placenames replaced existing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander landmarks throughout Australia, not all the new names commemorate violence. However, many non-Indigenous Australians remain unaware of the connections and connotations of those that do. While some may claim ignorance of history as an excuse, Indigenous people could hardly be expected to casually ignore the frontier violence that gave us so many gruesome reminders of our past. However, their experiences are often ignored and their consultation is rarely sought in the persistent use of offensive placenames. In Queensland, violence was perpetrated by two main groups: civilian `vigilante’ or `black-hunting’ parties, and an armed formation of Aboriginal men, the 1 The quote in the title is from a report held in the Queensland State Archives (QSA), Governor’s Despatches, 16 December 1861, GOV/23, number 74 of 1861.

  • IPA Planning Scheme
    Torres Shire Council IPA Planning Scheme 17 July 2007 Adoption The local government for Torres Shire adopted this planning scheme on 17 July 2007. Commencement The planning scheme took effect on 17 July 2007. State planning policies The Minister for Local Government, Planning, Sport and Recreation has identified the following State planning policies as having been appropriately reflected in the planning scheme: SPP 1/92: Development and the Conservation of Agricultural Land: SPP 1/03: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide; and SPP 2/02: Planning and Managing Development involving Acid Sulfate Soils. Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 (Provisions applying for State-controlled roads): The Minister for Local Government and Planning has given notice that Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 applies to the planning scheme. Accordingly, item 9 in Integrated Planning Regulation, schedule 2 applies for a referral for development that is not contiguous to a State-controlled road. The Planning Scheme and Native Title Issues – An Explanatory Note Torres Shire is unique among Queensland Local Government councils in that: Most of its population resides on islands off the northern tip of mainland Queensland; and It is the most northerly Australian local government and is geographically close to mainland Papua New Guinea; and Its population comprises primarily Indigenous Torres Strait Islanders and Aborigines and approximately 80% of the Shire’s land is subject to Native Title grant/claims. This planning scheme has been prepared under the Queensland Integrated Planning Act (IPA) to control development in the Shire. Areas that are not within the jurisdiction of the Council of the Shire of Torres are not affected by the provisions of the planning scheme.

  • HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406 Hydrographic Department Ministry of Defence Taunton, Somerset TA1 2DN National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Copied: 1987 1 HISTORICAL NOTE The Hydrographical Office of the Admiralty was created by an Order-in-Council of 12 August 1795 which stated that it would be responsible for ‘the care of such charts, as are now in the office, or may hereafter be deposited’ and for ‘collecting and compiling all information requisite for improving Navigation, for the guidance of the commanders of His Majesty’s ships’. Alexander Dalrymple, who had been Hydrographer to the East India Company since 1799, was appointed the first Hydrographer. In 1797 the Hydrographer’s staff comprised an assistant, a draughtsman, three engravers and a printer. It remained a small office for much of the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, under Captain Thomas Hurd, who succeeded Dalrymple as Hydrographer in 1808, a regular series of marine charts were produced and in 1814 the first surveying vessels were commissioned. The first Catalogue of Admiralty Charts appeared in 1825. In 1817 the Australian-born navigator Phillip Parker King was supplied with instruments by the Hydrographic Department which he used on his surveying voyages on the Mermaid and the Bathurst. Archives of the Hydrographic Department The Australian Joint Copying Project microfilmed a considerable quantity of the written records of the Hydrographic Department. They include letters, reports, sailing directions, remark books, extracts from logs, minute books and survey data books, mostly dating from 1779 to 1918. They can be found on reels M2318-37 and M2436-67.

  • 9 Presidential Address the Discovery Of
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Queensland eSpace 9 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA [By SIR RAPHAEL CILENTO.] (Read on September 25, 1958.) Accidental Factors As far back almost as recorded history goes there had been speculation about the existence of a great "Southland" extending to the South Pole to balance the great land mass of the North. Ancient Chinese geo­ graphers are said to mention recognisable places in Western New Guinea; the Japanese claim their sailors knew New Guinea, Cape York Peninsula, and the Gulf of Carpentaria many centuries ago; the Malays from Indonesia certainly visited our northern coasts, for cen­ turies as they do still. From the beginning of the 14th century, however, while the Moslem power declined in the West (in Spain and North Africa) it revived to a new pitch of fanatical fervour in the Middle East, with the incoming of the Turks. They straddled Asia Minor and Mesopotamia and cut the caravan routes by which Europe was sup­ plied with spices. The best intelligences of Western Europe began to search ancient geographical treatises for a new route to the "Spice Islands," which are the East Indies — Indonesia—lying above the shores of Queensland. This search for the "Spice Islands" was eventually to result in the charting of all Africa southerly; the discovery of the West Indies and of North, South and Central America westerly; of the Pacific Ocean and its islands behind the unsuspected land mass of America, and, last of all, of Queensland—^the first found finger of Aus­ tralia.
