Historical Study of Cambria Estate, Prepared by Glamorgan Spring Bay ABN 65 008 512 158 A HISTORICAL STUDY OF CAMBRIA ESTATE ‘The Government House of the East Coast’ Picture: TAHO NS1570/1/1, reproduced with permission Researched, written and submitted on behalf of the Glamorgan Spring Bay Historical Society Inc by: Malcolm Ward [email protected] Maureen Ferris [email protected] 20 April 2016 © 2016 The Glamorgan Spring Bay Historical Society Inc A historical study of the Cambria Estate The Glamorgan Spring Bay Historical Society A large, well-built, cheerful-looking house, with its accompanying signs of substantial comfort in the shape of barns, stackyard, (sic) stabling, extensive gardens, and all other requisite appliances on a large scale, is most pleasant to look upon at all times and in all places, even when tens or twenties of such may be seen in a day’s journey; but when our glimpses of country comfort are so few and far between as must be the case in a new country, and when one’s very belief in civilization begins to be shaken by weary travelling day after day through such dreary tracts as we have traversed, it is most delightful to come once more among sights and sounds that tell of the Old World and its good old ways, and right heartily did I enjoy them.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

The river widens into a shallow estuary below the Cambria house. The surrounding coastal land is open as a result of thousands of years of Aboriginal use of fire for land management—followed by almost two centuries of European farming.

  • Mrs Meredith Preferred ‘Anson Girls’
    Mrs Meredith preferred ‘Anson girls’. Alice Meredith Hodgson April 2019 Mrs Meredith, formerly Louisa Anne Twamley, came to Van Diemen’s Land in 1840 as the wife of Charles Meredith, second son of English settler George Meredith of Cambria at Swansea1. George Meredith also happened to be Louisa’s maternal uncle and her earlier refusal to come to Tasmania as governess to the children of his second marriage had rather soured their relationship. Charles and Louisa had become reacquainted when he returned to England as a young man to pursue his right to a land grant. Louisa’s mother was opposed to a marriage between cousins but nonetheless they married in 1839 in Birmingham2.The couple arrived in New South Wales where they intended to settle for a colonial stay of perhaps a decade before returning to live in England. The first of Louisa’s four sons was born at Homebush on the Parramatta River. They travelled to Tasmania to better their fortune. Later they would be left virtually destitute after a collapse in the agricultural sector destroyed Charles’ New South Wales ventures in grazing. It was fortunate that Louisa had not experienced wealth in childhood or as a young adult for it was to elude her. Nonetheless she was a lady and there were standards and expectations to meet. Louisa was an accomplished artist and poet and some in her literary circle had criticised her decision to marry and come to faraway Australia for it meant relinquishing her acknowledged place in Birmingham society as a scholar and a published writer.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • Louisa Meredith's Idea of Home: Imagined Identity in Colonial Travel
    Louisa Meredith’s Idea of Home: Imagined Identity in Colonial Travel Writing Elizabeth Miller My readers will be kind enough to imagine, if they journey with me to the end, what the other routes must be.1 Introduction In 1852, a book was dedicated to “our most gracious and beloved Queen.” It professed to be a “simple chronicle of nine years passed in one of Her Majesty’s most remote colonies.”2 The book was My Home in Tasmania, During a Residence of Nine Years and its author was Louisa Meredith, an English woman who had emigrated from Britain to the Australian colonies with her husband Charles, thirteen years earlier.3 The Merediths intended to live in the colonies for five years, before returning “home” to Britain, something they never did.4 Charles Meredith had lived in the Australian colonies since 1821, and when Lieutenant-Governor Arthur denied Charles a land grant in Tasmania, he moved to New South Wales (NSW). He returned to England in 1838, and sailed back to the colonies the following year, married to his cousin Louisa, who was expecting their first child.5 After spending her first years as a colonist in NSW, Louisa Meredith dismissed Sydney as hot, glaring and dusty, and thought its inhabitants Elizabeth Miller is a PhD candidate in the Department of History at the University of Sydney. 1 Louisa Meredith, My Home in Tasmania, During a Residence of Nine Years (New York: Bunce and Brother, 1853), pp. 57-58. 2 Louisa Meredith, My Home in Tasmania, p. vii. 3 Hereafter referred to as My Home in Tasmania.
