  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1
    ‘Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s1 Toby Martin Tourists visiting Queensland’s Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried ‘pick a back’ by a ‘native’ onto a ‘palm-shaded’ beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corroborees, war dances and spear-throwing. They were also shown the efforts of the island’s administration: schools full of happy children, hospitals brimming with bonny babies, brass band performances and neat, tree-fringed streets with European- style gardens. Before being piggy-backed to their launches, the tourist could purchase authentic souvenirs, such as boomerangs and shields. As the ship pulled away from paradise, tourists could gaze back and reflect on this model Aboriginal settlement, its impressive ‘native displays’, its ‘efficient management’ and the ‘noble work’ of its staff and missionaries.2 By the early 1920s, the Palm Island Aboriginal reserve had become a major Queensland tourist destination. It offered tourists – particularly those from the southern states or from overseas – a chance to see Aboriginal people and culture as part of a comfortable day trip. Travellers to and around Australia had taken a keen interest in Aboriginal culture and its artefacts since Captain Cook commented on the ‘rage for curiosities amongst his crew’.3 From the 1880s, missions such as Lake Tyers in Victoria’s Gippsland region had attracted 1 This research was undertaken with the generous support of the State Library of NSW David Scott Mitchell Fellowship, and the ‘Touring the Past: History and Tourism in Australia 1850-2010’ ARC grant, with Richard White.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • The Genesis of Thea Astley's the Multiple Effects of Rainshadow
    The Genesis of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow CHERYL TAYLOR JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY My purpose in this essay, which extends a project commenced a decade ago (Taylor 2009), is to analyse the sources of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow, including but going beyond the list provided in the author’s ‘Acknowledgments.’ In truth, Astley’s achievement in Multiple Effects as in her other fiction far surpasses the sum of contributions that she derived from earlier writings. The mostly forgotten books that she lists as ‘[i]mpulses’ and her bequest to the Fryer Library of her newspaper sources and hand-written notes suggest that she may have welcomed a study of this novel’s genesis. The essay begins with an overview of the place of Multiple Effects in Astley’s oeuvre and the literary and political contexts for Astley’s increasing engagement with the history of Aboriginal dispossession. It then turns in detail to the novel itself and offers an excavation of the sources that inform its historical narrative. In doing this I hope to demonstrate something about Astley’s creative process: the extent and detail of her research, the ways in which her novel creatively reworks this archive, and some of the effects of that on the kind of history that Astley tells. Following the publication in 1994 of Coda, intended as the title indicates to be Astley’s last novel, the Keating Labor government awarded her a five-year Creative Fellowship of $325,000. Thus encouraged, after ‘one year of musing and two years of writing’ (Sayer 18) at Cambewarra on the NSW south coast, Astley published Multiple Effects in August 1996.

  • Catholic Missions to the Aborigines in North Queensland
    CATHOLIC MISSIONS TO THE ABORIGINES IN NORTH QUEENSLAND John Maguire By the time the first Catholic priest set foot in North Queensland in 1863 the general attitude of the white immigrant society toward the original inhabitants had already been well determined. By and large Catholics were no different in their attitudes from the rest of the European settlers. Ignorant of the basic presuppositions and values of aboriginal society, fearful of what was strange and unknown, they were primarily concerned with their own survival in an alien environment. The image of the blacks painted by reporting in the Freeman's Journal, (produced by a group of Liberal Catholics) did little to challenge the general attitude: "murder of two sawyers by the blacks", "more outrages by the blacks...Burnett district: 1400 ewes driven away from Mr Hay's station and the shepherd murdered", "more murders by the blacks...a man and his daughter about 12 years of age on the Station of Mr Wilkins 12 miles from Gayndah", "the aborigines in the neighbourhood of the lower Condamine once again in arms driving everything before them and killing cattle in all directions", "a Mr Stuart on Mr Trevethan's run beaten in a most barbarous manner... some of his sheep driven off", "murder of Mr Colin McKay and four of Mr Trevethan's men by aboriginal natives", "deadly fued among the blacks", "aborigines have again commenced hostilities", "Mr Clarke has fallen a sacrifice to the assaults of these savages".1 That the white settlers were themselves doing violence to Aboriginal people and customs was adverted to by only a few.

  • Aboriginal History Volume 34, 2010
    Defining disease, segregating race: Sir Raphael Cilento, Aboriginal health and leprosy management in twentieth century Queensland Meg Parsons In Australia, as elsewhere, modern scientific studies of leprosy were firmly located within contemporary race-based and climatic medical theories, and were closely aligned to the discipline of tropical medicine.1 During the interwar period the race-based leprosy theories of doctors Cecil Cook and Sir Raphael Cilento directly informed leprosy management strategies in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.2 In the Queensland context, the emergence of these racially discriminatory medical theories helped solidify the Queensland government’s commitment to spatial segregation as its primary method of managing leprosy. Moreover these theories served to reinforce existing white perceptions about Aboriginal people and re-articulate the idea that Aboriginal ill health was an inescapable consequence of racial weaknesses. Sir Raphael Cilento, well known for his association with tropical medicine and social hygiene in Australia in the first half of the twentieth century, also played a pivotal role in the maintenance and alteration of the Queensland government’s Aboriginal leprosy management strategies during the 1930s.3 Historians have generally overlooked Cilento’s involvement in leprosy management, and perhaps more significantly failed to explore the operations of Fantome Island leprosarium, the institution Cilento helped establish, which was the longest running Aboriginal- only medical segregation facility in Queensland. I will attempt to redress this historical oversight in this article. Firstly I will provide a brief overview of leprosy management strategies in Queensland, then outline the medical theories of Cilento, and lastly chart the establishment and operations of the Aboriginal- only leprosarium on Fantome Island.

Short Synopsis (125 words): In 1945 at the age of seven a young Joe Eggmolesse was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was immediately removed from his family and home and transported under police escort over a thousand kilometres to be confined on an island for the treatment of the disease. For the next ten years, a leprosarium for Indigenous Australians became his home. An isolated tropical island off the north east coast of Australia became home to a close knit community of Indigenous 'lepers' who made the most of their existence as people living on the fringes of the marginalised. Now as a 73 year old Joe reflects on his indelible Fantome years. His incredible, poignant story offers a profound insight into one of Australia's hidden histories. Short Synopsis (247 words): In 1945 seven year-old Joe Eggmolesse was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was taken from his family under police escort, transported by rail and sea over a thousand kilometres to Fantome Island where he was to be incarcerated for the next ten years.
