  • The Indian Connection with Tasmania Dr James Broadbent
    The Indian Connection with Tasmania Dr James Broadbent For a century or more there has been a romance about Australia’s relationship with India, although the links between the two go back much further – to the beginnings of settlement. The romance is potent in William Hardy Wilson’s evocation of the homestead Horsely , beyond Liverpool in New South Wales – the most Indian of all colonial houses. Wilson wrote, in prose of the most aniline purple: Of the many beautiful homesteads there is one which I shall single out because it is the pleasantest home in New South Wales. Horsely was designed by an officer from the Indian Army who planned his home with memories of bungalows in India to guide, and built it on the top of a serene hill surrounded by a ring of lower hills. At the edge of the plateau where the path ascends, there are two Moreton Bay figs intermingled with sweet-bays forming an entrance archway through which the homestead appears half-submerged in formal shrubs and tall waving grasses. The front has an attractive verandah. There are coupled Doric columns, dark jhilmils with folding white casements between, and round-arched bays at the ends. Within there is a punkah hanging idly from the lofty ceiling, a mark of past luxuriousness. There are high double doors glistening under white paint and polished brasses. On the walls there are remaining a few old portraits, crudely done, and other canvases that present fat tigers pausing in the act of seizing relatives of the Captain Charles Weston who, having escaped these perilous adventures, left India, and came to New South Wales where in 1817 he established himself on this tranquil hill.

  • The Naval Pioneers of Australia by Louis Becke and Walter Jeffery
    The Naval Pioneers of Australia by Louis Becke and Walter Jeffery The Naval Pioneers of Australia by Louis Becke and Walter Jeffery Produced by Sjaani and PG Distributed Proofreaders THE NAVAL PIONEERS OF AUSTRALIA BY LOUIS BECKE AND WALTER JEFFERY AUTHORS OF "A FIRST FLEET FAMILY"; "THE MUTINEER," ETC. page 1 / 288 _WITH ILLUSTRATIONS_ LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1899 PREFACE This book does not pretend to be a history of Australia; it merely gathers into one volume that which has hitherto been dispersed through many. Our story ends where Australian history, as it is generally written, begins; but the work of the forgotten naval pioneers of the country made that beginning possible. Four sea-captains in succession had charge of the penal settlement of New South Wales, and these four men, in laying the foundation of Australia, surmounted greater difficulties than have ever been encountered elsewhere in the history of British colonization. Under them, and by their personal exertions, it was made possible to live upon the land; it was made easy to sail upon the Austral seas. After them came military and civil governors and constitutional government, finding all things ready to build a Greater Britain. Histories there are in plenty, of so many hundred pages, devoted to describing the "blessings of constitutional government," of the stoppage of transportation, of the page 2 / 288 discovery of gold, and all the other milestones on the road to nationhood; but there is given in them no room to describe the work of the sailors--a chapter or two is the most historians afford the naval pioneers.

    Parramatta Light Rail (Stage 1) Westmead to Carlingford via Parramatta CBD and Camellia Heritage Archival Recording and Salvage Report (Package 1) Condition E70 Parramatta Light Rail – Enabling Works Heritage Archival Recording and Salvage Report Parramatta Light Rail – Enabling Works Heritage Archival Recording and Salvage Report Report to DWJV September 2020 Page i Parramatta Light Rail – Enabling Works Heritage Archival Recording and Salvage Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Transport for NSW (TfNSW) is developing the Parramatta Light Rail (PLR) to deliver a network running from Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia. The PLR route will link a number of key locations in the Parramatta region, including the Westmead Precinct, the new Western Sydney Stadium, the Camellia Town Centre, the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse and the three Western Sydney University campuses. The PLR project will create new communities, connect great places, and help both local residents and visitors move around and explore what the region has to offer. On 20 February 2017, the NSW Government announced that it would be proceeding with the first stage of the PLR project. PLR (Stage 1) would extend from Westmead to Carlingford via Parramatta CBD and Camellia. The PLR project was approved as Critical State Significant Infrastructure (CSSI) [SSI 17_8285] on 29 May 2018. Prior to the commencement of the main construction program of PLR (Stage 1), a program of enabling works was required. These enabling works fulfilled the relevant Conditions of Approval (CoA) for the CSSI, and the modifications of the CSSI approval for the PLR project (Mod 1 and Mod 2) approved on 21 December 2018 and 25 January 2019 respectively.

  • A First Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in Australia JANE P
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 1, 1983 A First Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in Australia JANE P. WESSON Bibliographies are a basic working tool for researching or teaching any subject, or merely for fol­ lowing up a casual interest. The person who undertakes to construct a bibliography, however, must have courage indeed. There will always be users ofthe end-product who will complain that it is incomplete or inaccurate or both. The proofofthe bibliography, like the pudding, is in the eating! Jane Wesson, who has produced the following bibliography, is very conscious ofthese things. She invites interested readers, who discover that their favourite reference is missing, to send it in so that we can publish an addendum in a later volume ofthis journal. Indeed, the editor would also propose that all readers publishing their own material should send in lists ofreferences to their latest publications at regular intervals. In this way we could provide an ongoing bibliographic service. The editor suggests that all references for inclusion be sent to him in the first instance. This bibliography was originally compiled in 1980 with ANZAAS Australian and New Zealand the primary aim of documenting as many as possible Association for the Advancement of the historical archaeological projects that had been of Science undertaken in Australia. People known to be working A.S.H.A. Australian Society for Historical in the field were contacted and relevant journals (par­ Archaeology ticularly the A.S.H.A. and A.A.A. Newsletters) sys­ BAR British Archaeological Reports tematically searched. A problem that immediately Broken Hill Proprietary Co.
