  • Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1770–2008
    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.

  • The Contribution of the Whaling Industry to the Economic Development of the Australian Colonies: 1770-1850
    The Contribution Of The Whaling Industry To The Economic Development Of The Australian Colonies: 1770-1850 John Ayres Mills Bachelor of Arts (University of Sydney) Master of Professional Economics (University of Queensland) Doctor of Philosophy (Griffith University) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Many of the leaders in the colonial communities of New South Wales and Tasmania, and in British trade and commerce, were convinced that the colonies’ economic future depended on the discovery and exploitation of “staples”. In the original formulation of staple theory in economics, staples were export commodities which generate income in excess of meeting needs for local consumption, leaving a surplus available for reinvestment. They were also likely to have strong links to industries which supported them, and the development of which, at least in part, was catalysed by the staple’s growth. The very first staples in the Australian colonies were sealskins, seal oils and bay whales. By 1820, it had become clear that the level of their natural stocks put severe limits on product availability, and therefore they would not achieve the goal of becoming a staple. From the early 1820s, New South Wales began to export colonial-grown wool in increasingly significant quantities, and with marked improvements in quality. At the same time, well established whaling industries, principally the British, began to make substantial investment in deep-sea hunting for sperm whales in the Southern Whale Fishery, which encircled Australia. An Australian whaling fleet began to emerge.

  • University of Wollongong Campus News 6 May 1992
    UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONQONQ CAMPUS NEWS Number 8 Wednesday, 6 May 1992 Exquisite sculpture donated by artist Victorian sculptor Shona Nunan has presented this exquisite bronze sculpture of a young boy to the University. Ms Nunan is a sculptor or high repute whose works are mainly in private collections. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ken McKinnon admired this piece at an exhibition at the Holdsworth Gallery in Sydney recently. Ms Nunan offered the sculpture to the Univer­ sity because she was keen to have her work exhibited in public places so that they could be enjoyed by many. 'Young boy' encapsulates the awkwardness of adolescence while embodying idealism and purity. It stands 145cm high and will be placed in an appropriate location following discussions with the School of Creative Arts. Ms Nunan studied sculpture at the Royal Mel­ bourne Institute of Technology. She has under­ taken subsequent research and studies into PNG contemporary artists. Aboriginal art and sacred art, and Buddhist art. She has held the positioiis of Lecturer in Draw­ ing and Cultural Studies at the University of Papua New Guinea and Art Conservationist, Prahan City Council Victoria.

  • Jane Womack Per Aeolus 1809 & Jane Womock Per Maria 1818 As
    Jane Womack per Aeolus 1809 & Jane Womock per Maria 1818 ‘a twist of fate’ by Rhonda Arthur As the following information unfolded, it revealed a curious turn of events, and the possibility that they were one and the same person emerged. Jane Womack (wife of William Womack) and Elizabeth Naylor1 (wife of William Naylor) both late of Leeds, were tried on 11 July 1807 at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, Boro of Leeds, county of York. They were convicted for stealing sixty yards of printed cotton commonly called ‘calico’ of the value of ten pence, the goods and chattels of William Sharp and were sentenced to 7 years transportation. On a second charge for a similar offence they were found not guilty. A third charge for stealing two parts of sixty yards of calico was dismissed because the prosecutors failed to appear in court.2 The Leeds Intelligencer on 30 March 1807 described these women as ‘two notorious shoplifters’ who were sent to the Wakefield House of Correction Yorkshire to await trial. Their modus operandi was by using ‘force and arms’ and sixty yards of calico would be difficult to conceal. After being convicted, they were imprisoned at Wakefield for eleven months before being transferred to the Aeolus female convict transport ship in June 1808. William Woomack (Jane’s husband) was convicted at the City of York Assizes on 11 July 1807 for general larceny (picking pockets) and sentenced to 7 years transportation.3 He was sent to the prison hulk Captivity, listed as William Womack aged 31, and was transferred to the male convict transport ship the Admiral Gambier on 13 June 1808.4 The Aeolus with 79 female convicts and Admiral Gambier with 200 male convicts, departed Portsmouth on 2 July 1808 in the company of a West India fleet, under convoy of His Majesty’s ship the 64 gun Polyphemus, two Portuguese frigates and three gun-brigs.
