Language, Literature and Literacy the ARTS ISBN: 9780732296957 Notes by: Shanyn Limpus Contents Introduction About the author/illustrator Study notes on themes and curriculum topics: a) Curriculum topics: ENGLISH: Language, Literature and Literacy THE ARTS: Making HISTORY: Historical Knowledge and Understanding, Historical Skills CROSS-CURRICULAR PRIORITIES: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture b) Themes Questions for reading and discussion Bibliography About the author of the notes Introduction At the age of thirteen Sidney Kidman ran away from home with little money in his pocket and big dreams in his head. With only five shillings and a one-eyed horse he rode off towards his goal of becoming a Cattle King. He began his education of the outback in 1870 and learned quickly from a drover. He went on to become a horse dealer, drover, stockman and livestock trader, using every opportunity as a chance to learn more about the land. His continuous education in bushcraft was aided by his ability to remember large amounts of information, which helped him to become a noted bushman across the country. This tribute to Sir Sidney Kidman tells how he built up a cattle empire of more than one hundred stations while fighting drought, floods, bushfires and plagues of rabbits and rats. Idriess effectively captures the spirit of the bush and celebrates a legend of Australian history. About the author/illustrator Ion L. Idriess was born in Sydney in 1889. After running away from home, he spent much of his life roving Australia, collecting material for his true-life stories. He wrote Cattle King in 1936 after travelling throughout Sidney Kidman’s empire and spending time with him, his family and staff. Ion Idriess is undoubtedly one of Australia’s best loved and most prolific authors—he published more than fifty books over forty years, all with Angus and Robertson, and in 1968 was awarded an OBE for his contribution to Australian literature. He died in 1979 aged eighty-eight. Study notes on themes and curriculum topics Learning Outcomes Students will have the opportunity to: Understand the way language evolves over time and how language helps to create different identities Interpret and analyse language choices and textual features Compare attitudes and ideas about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and how these ideas reflect or challenge the values of individuals or groups Create literary texts, such as poetry, that employ literary devices including imagery, hyperbole, metaphor and simile Explore the perspectives of people from the past Understand the living and working conditions in Australia before the turn of the twentieth century Identify and analyse the technological innovations that led to the industrial revolution and the effect these changes had in Australia Locate places on the Australian map Use Drama to recreate scenes from the text and reflect on the lives of characters English Activities Before you read Write your own definition of a ‘Cattle King’. Compare the lifestyle of living in the bush compared to the city and share your own experiences of the country lifestyle. What do you know about knighthood? Description The author provides the reader with a large amount of information about Sidney Kidman on the first page. List the physical and behavioural characteristics of Sidney Kidman from the first chapter and create a character profile. Discuss the effectiveness of the author’s description and how much information you can deliver about someone through simple choices such as clothing details. Foreshadowing Foreshadowing is the literary device used to reveal future plot outcomes to the audience. Find specific examples of how the author does this in Cattle King and explain the purpose of this. Is this an effective device to help move the story along? Beginnings and endings Re-read the first and last chapters and evaluate how well the author has constructed the opening and closing of the book. Has the author used any interesting features — such as hooks — to keep you reading? How effective is the ending? Language Alternatives Locate language and spelling alternatives in the text and discuss how language has changed over time and the reasons for these changes. For example, connexion (connection), for ever (forever), to-morrow (tomorrow). Discuss the use of words borrowed from other languages. Activity: Translate a section of German Charlie’s dialogue into English. Anecdotes Sidney Kidman learns many lessons throughout his life. For example, he learns never to give up or to drink. Several anecdotes—interesting or humorous short stories—are scattered throughout the story. Identify some of the lessons he learns from other people’s anecdotes or his own. Activity: Write two of your own anecdotes about any topic, including a lesson you learnt or a topic for the class to ponder on. Share with the class. Essay writing There are many statements in the text that can be used to create arguments to show your opinion or viewpoint. a) With Sid Kidman, to think was to act (p. 67) b) ‘Tis a poor man that does not know his own mind (p. 89) c) It’s going to be a man’s country for ever (p. 108) Activity: Choose a quote from above and write a short essay that includes three main points to prove your opinion. If possible, use examples from the text to support your arguments. Bush ballads A ballad is a poem that tells a story. The famous Australian ballad ‘The Wild Colonial Boy’ is mentioned in chapter six. View it here http://alldownunder.com/oz-u/songs/wild-colonial-boy-4.htm Look at some other Australian bush ballads and make a note of the features such as the rhyming pattern. ‘The Man from Snowy River’ can be viewed here http://www.poetrylibrary.edu.au/poets/paterson-a-b-banjo/the-man-from-snowy-river-0001004 Activity: Write your own bush ballad about Sir Sidney Kidman by using the information you learned about him from Cattle King. Figurative language Hyperbole Hyperbole is a figure of speech used for exaggeration. For example, ‘I could drink a brewery and still need a gargle’ (p.154). This hyperbolic statement emphasises how thirsty Bill is and paints a more vivid picture than simply saying he needs a drink. Activity: Make your own hyperbolic statements to describe aspects of bush life such as heat, drought, loneliness, boredom, wide open spaces etc. Share them with the class. Idiom An idiom is an expression with a figurative meaning that is different to the literal meaning. The author describes the multiple options that a man would have by owning flood country as having two string s to his bow (p. 51). As a class, create a list of idioms that would be used by people from the bush or could be used to describe characters from the text. Activity: Write a paragraph that could easily fit into the book that uses at least two of the idioms from the list. Simile The author uses many similes in the text to make expressive comparisons. Locate the similes that Greasy Jack uses in his story on page sixteen. How many others can you find? Activity: Have a go at writing some of your own by finding a section where some similes could be added to enhance the text. Drama activities Bush dialogue Activity: Write a script (duration two to three minutes) for two people who could have existed in the period of the text. Base your scene on the daily living struggles relevant to the text and use idioms and rhyming slang in your dialogue. Practise your scene and perform it for the class. Hot seat Activity: Students sit in a circle and take turns asking questions to a student playing Sidney Kidman in the centre. Students should ask questions about key moments from the text and ‘Sidney’ must improvise responses by imagining what it felt like in each particular situation and reflecting on what he learnt. Students can also take turns at being Sidney. History Activities Far and wide Using an Australian map, record Kidman’s journey and the places he visits and properties he purchases. See if you can keep track of the number of kilometres that Kidman travels throughout his adventures. Timeline As a class, create a timeline of important historical moments during Sir Sidney Kidman’s life. Make note of any important inventions or advances in technology that occurred during this period and reflect on the effect of these improvements. Activity: As Sidney, write a letter home to his wife or mother that explains the positive or negative impact of one of these inventions on his daily life. Currency Compare and convert the currency used in the text (sovereigns, pennies etc.) to today’s currency. Research when currency changed to the current system and predict any changes that may occur in the future. Explorers Make a list of all the well-known explorers listed in the text and discuss what you know about them. Why were explorers so crucial to the history of Australia? Are our opinions of explorers as romantic as they are about bushrangers? Activity: Choose one explorer (other than Sturt) and write a short report about his life. Aboriginal Beliefs The author describes Sidney as ‘never making the white man’s mistake of laughing at aboriginal beliefs’ (p.23). European settlers held a dim view on the Aboriginal way of life and traditions, seeing their lifestyle as uncivilised. Research some Aboriginal beliefs. Keeping in mind the conflicts between Europeans and Indigenous Australians during the 1800s, discuss why settlers would have placed little value on these beliefs. Was it uncommon to respect the Aboriginal way of life as Kidman does? Why? Themes Identity Sidney Kidman sets off in the first chapter to become a Cattle King.

    THE MISSIONARY WOMEN IN THE INLAND OF AUSTRALIA AND THE AUSTRALIAN INLAND MISSION AS REPRESENTED IN BETH BECKETT’S LIFE MEMOIR Evi Eliyanah ([email protected]) Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia Abstract: This article looks at the gender dimension of religious missions adminis- tered by the Presbyterian Church in the inland Australia as represented in Beth Beck- ett’s life memoir written in 1947-1955. It is aimed at obtaining general ideas on the involvement of women, as the wives of missionaries, Focusing on the experience of Beth Beckett, it argues that her position as a wife of a missionary is problematic: on the one hand she did transgress the traditional idea of staying-home wife by choosing to travel along with her husband, but at the same time, she was still bound by the domestic side of the job. Key words: Australian Inland Mission, Beth Beckett, Memoir, Gender This article critically examines the gender dimension of the missions ad- ministered by the Presbyterian Church in the inland of Australia, known as the Australian Inland Mission (AIM). Looking at the role of women, especially the missionary wives in the missionary process: the roles they took up and their agency in being involved in the mission, the essay focuses on the experience of Beth Becket, an ex-AIM-nurse married to a patrol padre. Critically analyzing her memoirs, written in 1947-1955, the article offers general ideas on the in- volvement of women, as the wives of missionaries, in the mission field during the mid twentieth century. Bringing together the thoughts and ideas poured in the writings on women and the mission enterprise in the British colonies, the 107 108 TEFLIN Journal, Volume 21, Number 2, August 2010 memoirs will be scrutinized in terms of women agency and women’s specific roles on the mission.

  • Wartime Political Ambition Behind One Image of a Dam In
    WARTIME POLITICAL AMBITION BEHIND ONE IMAGE OF A DAM IN AUSTRALIA IS DEVELOPING A DUST BOWL (1943): US/AUSTRALIAN FILM IMAGERY, ENVIRONMENT, AND NATIONALIST STORYTELLING 12JANETTE-SUSAN BAILEY Abstract This paper introduces Australia is Developing a Dust Bowl, an Australian film made by Ken G. Hall for the national filmmaker Cinesound Productions during World War II.1 It also introduces an image of a scaled-down reproduction of Australia’s Woronora Dam, which featured in several films of the period. The dam, this article argues, represents a broad set of ideas, many of them influenced by US conservation projects, that were being promoted in the print, film, and broadcast media of the time, and the postwar political visions driving these ideas. To identify then examine the meaning of the US ideas located in Hall’s film, this paper takes a cultural and transnational approach in order to develop new insights into political and environmental history. Using this approach demonstrates that Hall’s film fuses aspects of US and Australian national myth, traces of US Depression-era and wartime hopes and fears, irrigation mythology, and technological optimism. It shows that Australia’s wartime politicians were determined to use this set of ideas to drive debate, gain traction, and bolster their credentials in pursuit of a nation- building, postwar water conservation scheme. I argue that Hall’s image of a dam in Australia is Developing a Dust Bowl represents the determination of the Australian state of New South Wales to dominate the nation’s major postwar development scheme by diverting the waters of the Snowy River westward and expand the capacity of Burrinjuck Dam and develop the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.2 1 Drought Grips Riverina is the first title on the reel and features opening credits.Australia is Developing a Dust Bowl is the second title on the reel, and although there is no second set of opening credits, because it has its own opening title and presents a new narrative, I treat the two as separate films for the purposes of discussion.

  • Tropical Island Imaginary
    etropic 12.2 (2013): Tropics of the Imagination 2013 Proceedings | 246 Tropical Island Imaginary Stephen Torre James Cook University This paper opens with a historical survey of the imaginary representation of islands in Western literature and then proceeds to a selective account of the island imaginary in largely ‘middlebrow’ writings and photography about the tropics. Complexities and paradoxes in the significances and semiotics of islands can be found in much writing about the Pacific islands of tropical Australia. E.J.Banfield largely established the paradisal perspective on tropical islands and extolled the lifestyle of the ‘beachcomber’. The often challenged ‘truth claim’ that ‘the camera cannot lie’ is most pertinent to Hurley’s work: what we see there is not only a speculum but more often a spectacle of the island imaginary; indeed the staging and replication of content so as to reflect what Hurley wanted to see in his subjects amounts to the substitution of a hyperreal, which then establishes itself in the discourse of the tropical island imaginary. Norman Lindsay tapped into some persistent motifs of the island imaginary: the excitement created by shipwreck and survival; the romance and salacious possibilities afforded by the attractions between a heroine and her suitors; and the realities of human nature stripped of civilised manners. Paradoxically, the popular works of Ion L. Idriess problematize the boundaries between material fact and textual discourse, tapping into what may well be a paradigm for the island imaginary in general—a space where contraries multiply and fantasies materialize. Lastly, Frank Clune’s ‘counterfeit adventures’ similarly play around persistent binaries and stereotypes in the island imaginary, and perpetuate a reification of the complexity and elusiveness of their subject.

  • A Novel Approach to Tradition: Torres Strait Islanders and Ion Idriess
    A Novel Approach to Tradition: Torres Strait Islanders and Ion Idriess Maureen Fuary Anthropology and Archaeology James Cook University This paper considers the significance of the novel Drums of Mer (1941) in contemporary Torres Strait Islanders’ lives. Its use as narrative by many Islanders today constitutes one means by which men especially have come to know themselves, white others, and their past. In particular, I explore the ways in which this story appeals to and is appealed to by Yam Island people. Contrary to literary deconstmctions of Idriess’s representations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, my paper argues that in seriously attending to Torres Strait readings of Drums of Mer we can see that for contemporary Islander readers, it is not themselves who are other but rather the white protagonists. I employ Said’s (1994) notion of ‘cultural overlap’ and de Certeau’s (1988) understandings of reading and writing as ‘everyday practices’ to frame my analysis of the differing impacts of the historical novel, Drums of Mer, and the Reports of the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to Torres Straits. It is through story telling that Yam Island selves are placed in the past and the present, and in Idriess’s memorable story a similar effect is achieved. In his novel approach, the past becomes his-story, a romanticised refraction of the Reports. Unlike the Reports, this novel is a sensual rendering of a Torres Strait past, and at this level it operates as a mnemonic device for Yam Island people, triggering memories and the imagination through the senses. This Torres Strait Islander detour by way of a past via a story, can be understood as a means by which Yam Island people continue to actively produce powerful images of themselves, for both themselves and for others.

  • Struggling for Relevance at Lockhart River
    Struggling for Relevance at Lockhart River David Thompson In this paper I examine three "eras" of mission endeavour at Lockhart River, not to be judgemental, but to draw out the underlying motivation for mission in each period and then, recognising that we missionaries and Aboriginal people are as human as anyone else, consider the gains and limitations. The three eras are the establishment period under the first superintendent, Harry Rowan, the post-war era of the Co-operative movement under superintendent John Warby, and the post-mission era under govemment adminisfration which began with my time at Lockhart River as Chaplain. I will briefly refer to a fourth era just begun, that of adminisfration by the Aboriginal Council. Early Background - "Giblet time" The Lockhart people had considerable outside contacts before the mission began in 1924; these included Japanese, Chinese, Islanders, Papuans and Europeans. The period of work on luggers for beche-de-mer, frochus and pearl shell, particularly for the Japanese, is known as "Lugger time".' On land there was contact with sandalwood gatherers and miners. Of particular significance during the fifteen years prior to the beginning of the mission was the role of Hugh Giblet who set up a base camp at Lloyd Bay for gathering sandalwood. (The Lockhart River flows into Lloyd Bay.) According to the writer Ion Idriess, he was known as the "Sandalwood King"^ because of the adventurous way he had established an effective and sympathetic working relationship with local Aborigines and built up a profitable business. From his base at Orchid Point in Lloyd Bay, he recmited Aboriginal workers for gathering sandalwood during the dry season, protected them from unscmpulous lugger captains, and rewarded them well with food, clothing and cases of liquor for a Christmas party.

  • Kunmanggur, Legend and Leadership a Study of Indigenous Leadership and Succession Focussing on the Northwest Region of the North
    KUNMANGGUR , LEGEND AND LEADERSHIP A STUDY OF INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP AND SUCCESSION FOCUSSING ON THE NORTHWEST REGION OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA Bill Ivory Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Charles Darwin University 2009 Declaration This is to certify that this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Ph.D., except where indicated, that due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other materials used, and that this thesis is less than 100,000 words in length excluding Figures, Tables and Appendices. Bill Ivory 2009 ii Acknowledgements I wish to thank my supervisors Kate Senior, Diane Smith and Will Sanders. They have been extremely supportive throughout this research process with their expert advice, enthusiasm and encouragement. A core group of Port Keats leaders supported this thesis project. They continually encouraged me to record their stories for the prosperity of their people. These people included Felix Bunduck, Laurence Kulumboort, Bernard Jabinee, Patrick Nudjulu, Leo Melpi, Les Kundjil, Aloyisius Narjic, Bede Lantjin, Terence Dumoo, Ambrose Jongmin. Mathew Pultchen, Gregory Mollinjin, Leo Melpi, Cassima Narndu, Gordon Chula and many other people. Sadly, some of these leaders passed away since the research commenced and I hope that this thesis is some recognition of their extraordinary lives. Boniface Perdjert, senior traditional owner and leader for the Kardu Diminin clan was instrumental in arranging for me to attend ceremonies and provided expert information and advice. He was also, from the start, very keen to support the project. Leon Melpi told me one day that he and his middle-aged generation are „anthropologists‟ and he is right.
