    Chapter One Introduction

    Metamorphosis Chapter One Introduction What has been formed is immediately transformed again, and if we would succeed, to some degree, to a living view of Nature, we must attempt to remain as active and plastic as the example she sets for us. (Goethe 1952:24) I am sitting at my studio table and have a green view out on to the backyard of the recently mown grassy area that falls away to rainforest trees and eventually to the banks of Mullumbimby Creek. It is the time of Kambar, the season that the Bundjalung recognise as bringing heavy rain. I check on the bush turkey that has been turning over the leaves to adjust the incubation temperature of the eggs. According to Gary Opit’s Seasonal Synopsis (see Appendix 10) the chicks are due to hatch shortly. The pressure is on to complete my thesis. It too needs to hatch. It has been eight years since commencing its formulation. What I have been working with has emerged and evolved out of the journey of my own life, both professionally and personally and not unlike the restless and unceasing activity of the Goethe’s archetypal plant, it has continued to grow and change. This thesis is presented as a set of layered stories. The research question around which this thesis is constructed is about a place, Shearwater the Mullumbimby Steiner School. It is also my story, a story about a journey, a songline of learning and doing and how through the meeting and exchange with others, intersects with the songlines of their lives.

PO Box 416 Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7006, Australia ISSN 0157-8464 Editorial When SCS joined with TCC and TCKRG in De- cember 1996 to form STC, the merged group inherited, inter alia, files containing the origi- nals of many SCS caving trip reports, going back to 1965 which had never been published. SCS normally only published brief summaries of its activities in Southern Caver, generally under the heading “Area Reports”. In his enthusiastic search for details of the his- tory of many of Tasmania’s iconic caves, Alan Jackson came across these reports and de- cided they should be made available to all in order that the story of the discovery and ex- ploration of our caves might be better under- stood. Over a period of months in 2012, along with active caving AND editing Speleo Spiel, Alan transcribed all the SCS reports in our ar- Southern Caver chives, covering the period 1965 to 1980 (with Occasional journal of an unfortunate gap between June 1973 and Southern Tasmanian Caverneers Inc.

    Lower Gordon River Recreation Zone Plan

    Lower Gordon River Recreation Zone Plan November 1998 A subsidiary document to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan Parks and W ild life Service Approved for publication on 11 November by the honourable David Llewellyn MHA, Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970 ISBN: 0 7246 6221 9 © 1998 Parks and Wildlife Service A division of the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment Published by Parks and Wildlife Service GPO Box 44A Hobart 7001 Parks and Wildlife Service Executive summary The plan supplements the findings of the Gordon River Tourist Operations Inquiry conducted by the Honourable Sir Max Bingham QC in 1994. The object of this plan is to prescribe management policy to conserve the environment of the lower Gordon River and provide the environmental framework within which the river can be presented to visitors. The geomorphology of the area, including the already degraded river banks, is of outstanding significance at a global level. The plan acknowledges the importance of the river to the Tasmanian tourism industry and the economy of Strahan, and the sensitivity of the environment, particularly the banks of the river, to disturbance. The aim of the plan is to facilitate environmental sustainability and ecotourism world best practices in accordance with the significance of the Gordon River environment. The plan provides scope for the existing tourist vessel operations to continue and be improved and for new ventures to be established, once there is no doubt that their impact on the river environment will be within the limits of acceptable change. The limit of acceptable change does not include wash induced erosion of the river banks as erosion is a reversal of the natural depositional processes that formerly operated in the area.

In 1878 Salisbury, Armstrong & Co (late of Victoria) advertised the Tasmanian Foundry, Queen’s Wharf. They were engineers, millwrights, iron and brass founders, blacksmiths, among their manufactures steam engines, mining machinery of every description, flour mill, saw mill and agricultural machinery. 1 After Mr Salisbury died in 1883, Henry McKenzie managed the works. 2 In 1886 Salisbury’s Foundry & Engineering Works, Wharf and William Street, ironfounders, millwrights, engineers, blacksmith and boiler makers, included ovens and kitchen ranges in their list of manufactures. The foundry was the sole maker of Kayser’s Patent Tin-dressing appliances, which it supplied to the Mount Bischoff and Stanhope tin mines in Tasmania and tin mining companies in Queensland.
