  • Journal of a Voyage Around Arnhem Land in 1875
    JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE AROUND ARNHEM LAND IN 1875 C.C. Macknight The journal published here describes a voyage from Palmerston (Darwin) to Blue Mud Bay on the western shore of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and back again, undertaken between September and December 1875. In itself, the expedition is of only passing interest, but the journal is worth publishing for its many references to Aborigines, and especially for the picture that emerges of the results of contact with Macassan trepangers along this extensive stretch of coast. Better than any other early source, it illustrates the highly variable conditions of communication and conflict between the several groups of people in the area. Some Aborigines were accustomed to travelling and working with Macassans and, as the author notes towards the end of his account, Aboriginal culture and society were extensively influenced by this contact. He also comments on situations of conflict.1 Relations with Europeans and other Aborigines were similarly complicated and uncertain, as appears in several instances. Nineteenth century accounts of the eastern parts of Arnhem Land, in particular, are few enough anyway to give another value. Flinders in 1802-03 had confirmed the general indications of the coast available from earlier Dutch voyages and provided a chart of sufficient accuracy for general navigation, but his contact with Aborigines was relatively slight and rather unhappy. Phillip Parker King continued Flinders' charting westwards from about Elcho Island in 1818-19. The three early British settlements, Fort Dundas on Melville Island (1824-29), Fort Wellington in Raffles Bay (1827-29) and Victoria in Port Essington (1838-49), were all in locations surveyed by King and neither the settlement garrisons nor the several hydrographic expeditions that called had any contact with eastern Arnhem Land, except indirectly by way of the Macassans.

  • The Tiwi and the British: an Ill-Fated Outpost
    The Tiwi and the British: an ill-fated outpost John Morris Much has been published about the early nineteenth century settlement of Fort Dundas on Melville Island, the largest of the Tiwi Islands. In the main, the authors have argued about the reason for the British attempt to colonise this part of Northern Australia, the political or economic aspects of the settlement’s disastrous history or the circumstances of convict labour around the fort.1 The relationship between the Indigenous people of the islands and the Europeans in the settlement has attracted less historical research and what has been written is somewhat limited.2 This paper aims to explore, on the available evidence, the attempts to bring about peace between the Tiwi and the colonisers. Ultimately the result of those attempts was one of the factors contributing to the demise of the settlement. It must be emphasised that while the British presence in the islands remains in the Tiwi memory, in my observation that memory is limited to specific incidents and matters relating to that era. The evidence about the relationship between the British and the Tiwi is therefore overwhelmingly restricted to European sources. The people of the Tiwi Islands experienced an intermittent exposure to foreign cultures from Asia and Europe, possibly from the seventeenth century. By the early 1820s these contacts had little impact on the Islanders. Apart from a desire for metal tools, the Tiwi developed an awareness of the material possessions of the visitors, a lim- ited understanding of firearms, and had acquired a vocabulary of a few Portuguese words.

  • Australia's Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901
    IRSH 63 (2018), Special Issue, pp. 45–63 doi:10.1017/S0020859018000214 © 2018 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis A Natural Hulk: Australia’s Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901* K ATHERINE R OSCOE Institute of Historical Research, University of London Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the British colonial period, at least eleven islands off the coast of Australia were used as sites of “punitive relocation” for transported European convicts and Indigenous Australians. This article traces the networks of correspondence between the officials and the Colonial Office in London as they debated the merits of various offshore islands to incarcerate different populations. It identifies three roles that carceral islands served for colonial governance and economic expansion. First, the use of con- victs as colonizers of strategic islands for territorial and commercial expansion. Second, to punish transported convicts found guilty of “misconduct” to maintain order in colonial society. Third, to expel Indigenous Australians who resisted colonization from their homeland. It explores how, as “colonial peripheries”, islands were part of a colo- nial system of punishment based around mobility and distance, which mirrored in microcosm convict flows between the metropole and the Australian colonies. ISLAND INCARCERATION Today, the island continent of Australia has more than 8,000 smaller islands off its coast.1 As temperatures rose 6,000 years ago, parts of the

  • Part 7 of Australian Frontier Wars the Northern Territory (1824 Part of New South Wales)
    NUNAWADING MILITARY HISTORY GROUP MINI NEWSLETTER No. 31 Part 7 of Australian Frontier Wars The Northern Territory (1824 part of New South Wales) Fort Dundas was a short-lived British Military settlement on Melville Island between 1824 and 1828 in what is now the Northern Territory of Australia. It was the first of four British settlement attempts in northern Australia before Goyder's survey and establishment of Palmerston, now known as Darwin. The three later attempts were at Fort Wellington, Port Essington and Escape Cliffs. Captain J. J. Gordon Bremer set sail on HMS Tamar from Port Jackson on the 24 August 1824 to colonise the northern part of Australia. His ship was accompanied by HMS Lady Nelson, and Countess of Harcourt. The ships transported Captain Maurie Barlow, Lieutenant John Septimus Roe, Lieutenant Everard and 23 men of the 3rd Regiment, a subaltern and 26 men of the Royal Ma- rines, a surgeon, three commissariat workers, three free men seeking adventure and 44 convicts. The construction of a settlement began upon arrival on 27 September 1824. It was officially proclaimed on 21 October 1824, on Trafalgar Day. It was named Fort Dundas and was named after Robert Dundas, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Location of Fort Dundas on The intention was to commence and develop trade with the Malays. During the first two years, the set- Melville Island tlers never saw a Malay. Furthermore, the settlers had not been able to penetrate more than 20 miles into the island's interior "due to the hostility of the na- tives – being in the most savage state of barbarism, and all attempts to conciliate them proving abortive"; such was the report to the British Government.

  • The Tiwi Meet the Dutch
    THE TIWI MEET THE DUTCH: The First European Contacts An outline of the history of Tiwi Contact with European navigators, with special reference to the Tiwi encounter with dutch seafarers in 1705. -by- Peter Forrest For The Tiwi Land Council, PO Box 38545 Winnellie NT 0821. Darwin April 1995. ISBN 0 646 235605 2 Foreword During the past few years our people have recalled with pride a number of special moments in our history when our fathers and mothers responded to certain events of their time; our work during the Second World War, the crisis caused by Cyclone Tracy. the Bicentenary of Australia - all touching our fives and involving us all. But our history extends beyond these recent events to the beginning of time on this land. Evert as Australia itself celebrates 200 years of European settlement, we ourselves recall quite lengthy visits of European people nearly 300 years ago. Some of our school children have been enquiring about these matters and our Land Council has been pleased to produce this booklet to coincide with our commemoration of the visit of Commander van Delft 290 years ago. You will read in these pages the events of long ago. What you will not find are the names of our families who participated in these times, They belong to the songs and legends of the Tiwi, and are as real to us as the writings in this book. We are proud to belong to these families and to the traditions of courage, Integrity, pride and loyalty to each other that they established.

  • We Are Tiwi: the Art and Artists of Munupi Arts
    1 We Are Tiwi: The art and artists of Munupi Arts By Emily McCulloch Childs* We are the Tiwi. Tiwi is we the people. Tiwi is my people, we that lived for thousands of years on these beautiful islands. Tiwi is different to mainland Australian Aboriginals. The Tiwi culture is different: the language is different. My people, the Tiwi people, we belong to this place – the islands – Bathurst and Melville Island – all these islands belong to my people the Tiwi. Tiwi Statement Tiwi: art, history, culture i Pedro Wonaeamirri, in Sophisticated geometric design and meditative mark making, a balanced fusion of contemporary adaptation and classical tradition, and the strength of generations of culturally significant families underlie the Munupi Arts & Crafts Association. The art centre exemplifies what is unique about Tiwi life and culture: a distinct art style, a balance of male and female power and status, a variety of artistic skills: painting, weaving, craft, textile design, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking. The artists of Munupi are adept at all these forms of art. Located in Pirlangimpi community on the large Melville Island, over the Aspley Straight from Darwin, Munupi Arts is now well into its third decade as a successful art centre. It has in recent years blossomed into a new life brought about through the art practice of older masters, bringing a renewed energy and traditional vigour to the art. Foremost amongst these masters are elders Cornelia Tipuamantumeri and the late Justin Puruntatameri (below). I visited Munupi in 2012 to research the art centre as a curator, art historian and writer, and to interview Puruntatameri about the extensive Tiwi resistance at nearby Fort Dundas (Punata), the first British settlement in the Northern Territory.
