  • LAYING CLIO's GHOSTS on the SHORES of NEW HOLLAND* the Title Does Not Foreshadow an Ex
    EMPTY HISTORICAL BOXES OF THE EARLY DAYS: LAYING CLIO'S GHOSTS ON THE SHORES OF NEW HOLLAND* By DUNCAN ~T ACC.ALU'M HE title does not foreshadow an exhumation of the village Hampdens, as Webb T called them,! buried on the shores of Botany Bay. In fact, they were probably thieves, but let their ;-emains rest in peace. No, the metaphor in the title is from an analogy from a memorable controversy in value theory in Economics. 2 The title was meant to suggest the need for giving some historical content to the emotions that have accompanied discussions of the early period. Some of the figures which seem to have been conjured up by historical writers have been given malignancy but 110t identity. Yet these faceless men of the past, and the roles for which they have been cast, seem to distort the play of life. And indeed, it is perhaps because the historical boxes have remained unfilled, and because the background-the rest of the play and action-has not been fully explored, that some people of the early period, well known to us by name, have been interpreted in the light of twentieth-century prejudice and political controversy. We know all too little about the quality of day-to-day life in early Australia, the spiritual and material existence of the early Europeans, their energies, their activities and outlook. In the first stage of an inquiry I have been pursuing into our early social history, I am concerned not with these more elusive yet in a way more interesting questions, but in what sort of colony it was with the officers, the gaol and the port.

But the story of Malay maritime worker protest has a deeper history, reaching back to the early years of the pearl-shelling and trepang industries when Malay workers from the Dutch East Indies were brought to work off the northern Australian coast. Before the advent of a seamen's union, these workers faced harsh working conditions and had little recourse to legal forms of protest.

  • Gum Trees Talk Notes

BRIEF HISTORY E. obliqua The 18th &19th centuries were periods of extensive land exploration in Australia. Enormous numbers of specimens of native flora were collected and ended up in England. The first recorded scientific collection of Australian flora was made by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, during Sir James Cook’s 1st voyage to Botany Bay in April 1770. From 1800-1810, George Caley collected widely in N.S.W with exceptional skill and knowledge in his observations, superb preservation of plant specimens, extensive records and fluent expression in written records. It is a great pity that his findings were not published and he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved. The identification and classification of the Australian genus Eucalyptus began in 1788 when the French botanist Charles L’Heritier de Brutelle named a specimen in the British Museum London, Eucalyptus obliqua. This specimen was collected by botanist David Nelson on Captain Cook’s ill- fated third expedition in 1777 to Adventure Bay on Tasmania’s Bruny Is.

    Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History that Refl ects National Trends DOUG BENSON Honorary Research Associate, National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Published on 10 April 2019 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Benson, D. (2019). Two centuries of botanical exploration along the Botanists Way, northern Blue Mountains,N.S.W: a regional botanical history that refl ects national trends. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 141, 1-24. The Botanists Way is a promotional concept developed by the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah for interpretation displays associated with the adjacent Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA). It is based on 19th century botanical exploration of areas between Kurrajong and Bell, northwest of Sydney, generally associated with Bells Line of Road, and focussed particularly on the botanists George Caley and Allan Cunningham and their connections with Mt Tomah. Based on a broader assessment of the area’s botanical history, the concept is here expanded to cover the route from Richmond to Lithgow (about 80 km) including both Bells Line of Road and Chifl ey Road, and extending north to the Newnes Plateau. The historical attraction of botanists and collectors to the area is explored chronologically from 1804 up to the present, and themes suitable for visitor education are recognised. Though the Botanists Way is focused on a relatively limited geographic area, the general sequence of scientifi c activities described - initial exploratory collecting; 19th century Gentlemen Naturalists (and lady illustrators); learned societies and publications; 20th century publicly-supported research institutions and the beginnings of ecology, and since the 1960s, professional conservation research and management - were also happening nationally elsewhere.

  • The Discovery and Mapping of Australia's Coasts
    Paper 1 The Discovery and Mapping of Australia’s Coasts: the Contribution of the Dutch, French and British Explorer- Hydrographers Dorothy F. Prescott O.A.M [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the mapping of Australia’s coasts resulting from the explorations of the Dutch, French and English hydrographers. It leaves untouched possible but unproven earlier voyages for which no incontrovertible evidence exists. Beginning with the voyage of the Dutch yacht, Duyfken, in 1605-6 it examines the planned voyages to the north coast and mentions the more numerous accidental landfalls on the west coast of the continent during the early decades of the 1600s. The voyages of Abel Tasman and Willem de Vlamingh end the period of successful Dutch visitations to Australian shores. Following James Cook’s discovery of the eastern seaboard and his charting of the east coast, further significant details to the charts were added by the later expeditions of Frenchmen, D’Entrecasteaux and Baudin, and the Englishmen, Bass and Flinders in 1798. Further work on the east coast was carried out by Flinders in 1799 and from 1801 to 1803 during his circumnavigation of the continent. The final work of completing the charting of the entire coastline was carried out by Phillip Parker King, John Clements Wickham and John Lort Stokes. It was Stokes who finally proved the death knell for the theory fondly entertained by the Admiralty of a great river flowing from the centre of the continent which would provide a highroad to the interior. Stokes would spend 6 years examining all possible river openings without the hoped- for result.

  • Australia's Maritime History
    Australia’s Maritime History Early Settlement and Trade Some 60,000 years ago, the continental coastline extended much further out into the Timor Sea, and Australia and New Guinea formed a single landmass (known as Sahul), connected by an extensive land bridge across the Arafura Sea, Gulf of Carpentaria and Torres Strait. Nevertheless, the sea still presented a major obstacle to the aboriginal people that commenced arriving in Australia. Indonesian people have been visiting the Australian continent for centuries. They came to fish mainly for trepang (sea- Conditions right for the cucumbers or sea-slugs) which were development of a maritime considered a delicacy in Indonesia and China. The Papuan people regularly community but evidence travelled to the Cape York Peninsula and lost with rise of sea levels Arnhem Land across the Torres Strait to trade in dugout canoes, ornamental masks and grave posts, spears and other Sunda ornaments and weapons. Evidence for other early visitors from our region is sketchy. European Expansionism Portugal: In 1498, Vasco da Gama reached Sahul India and in 1556 Dominican friars established themselves on Timor just to the north of Australia. Spain: In 1606 Luis Vaez de Torres came very close to landing in Australia by passing through the strait that separates Cape York Tasmania from New Guinea, now called Torres Strait. Dutch East Indies: Dutch sailors were the first recorded Europeans to land in several parts of Australia, and named the land 'New Holland'.
