'Ways of Seeing': the Tasmanian Landscape in Literature
THE TERRITORY OF TRUTH and ‘WAYS OF SEEING’: THE TASMANIAN LANDSCAPE IN LITERATURE ANNA DONALD (19449666) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (English and Cultural Studies) 2013 ii iii ABSTRACT The Territory of Truth examines the ‘need for place’ in humans and the roads by which people travel to find or construct that place, suggesting also what may happen to those who do not find a ‘place’. The novel shares a concern with the function of landscape and place in relation to concepts of identity and belonging: it considers the forces at work upon an individual when they move through differing landscapes and what it might be about those landscapes which attracts or repels. The novel explores interior feelings such as loss, loneliness, and fulfilment, and the ways in which identity is derived from personal, especially familial, relationships Set in Tasmania and Britain, the novel is narrated as a ‘voice play’ in which each character speaks from their ‘way of seeing’, their ‘truth’. This form of narrative was chosen because of the way stories, often those told to us, find a place in our memory: being part of the oral narrative of family, they affect our sense of self and our identity. The Territory of Truth suggests that identity is linked to a sense of self- worth and a belief that one ‘fits’ in to society. The characters demonstrate the ‘four ways of seeing’ as discussed in the exegesis. ‘“Ways of Seeing”: The Tasmanian Landscape in Literature’ considers the way humans identify with ‘place’, drawing on the ideas and theories of critics and commentators such as Edward Relph, Yi-fu Tuan, Roslynn Haynes, Richard Rossiter, Bruce Bennett, and Graham Huggan.

LANDMARKS Ilona Schneider – Seeing Comes Before Words
LANDMARKS Ilona SchneIder – Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak... It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. John Berger Ways of Seeing 2 Mt Paris DaM 2013 (detail) giclée print, 100 x 137.4cm When you go out there you don’t get away from it all... you come home to yourself Peter dombrovskis on first looking at Ilona Schneider’s wonderful images of the Tasmanian landscape, viewers are likely to find themselves drawn in two conflicting directions. on the one hand, what appears in these images are indeed landscapes, and their appearance is not dissimilar from the way landscape appears within the tradition of ‘romantic’ landscape art. here we see landscape in its power and presence, in its seeming beauty and its sublimity, in its topographic singularity. on the other hand, this experience of landscape is tempered, perhaps even countered, by the sense that what appears are landscapes that may well be thought compromised, diminished, scarred by the marks of human activity and habitation. The tension between these conflicting directions is a large part of what gives these images such an immediately affecting character. These are not images from which one can easily stand aside or with respect to which one can remain neutral – as if what is presented are mere objects of aesthetic and spectatorial appreciation.

1 WOODCHIPPING the SPIRIT of TASMANIA Tim Bonyhady Centre
WOODCHIPPING THE SPIRIT OF TASMANIA Tim Bonyhady Centre for Environmental Law and Policy, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia When the National Gallery of Victoria reopened its building on St Kilda Road last year, the focus was on the architecture of Mario Bellini and the new display of the Gallery’s international collection. Natural inspiration, an exhibition curated by Isobel Crombie in the Gallery’s modest photography space on its top floor, attracted little notice, despite being one of the highlights of the Gallery’s opening display. Its most innovative ingredient was the inclusion of four works by the Tasmanian photographer, Peter Dombrovskis – the first time a major Australian art museum had put a significant group of Dombrovskis’s work on display, let alone placed it in an international context.1 This recognition of Dombrovskis’s work was all the more remarkable because the institutional response to his photographs during his lifetime could hardly have been more negative. Apart from the National Gallery of Victoria, which bought five of his photographs, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery acquired just one and it was a donation. All other museums and libraries ignored him. The implication was that, for all Dombrovskis’s political significance as an environmental photographer, especially during the campaign to stop Tasmania’s Hydro-Electric Commission damming the Franklin River, he did not rate as an artist. The response of photographic historians was similar. Gael Newton ignored Dombrovskis in her Shades of Light: Photography and Australia 1839-1988 published for the Bicenntennial in 1988. Anne-Marie Willis gave him half a sentence in her Picturing Australia: A History of Photography published the same year.2 Geoffrey Batchen provided an explanation of this treatment in an essay in the American journal AfterImage in 1989 in which he described Dombrovskis’s photographs of the Franklin River as ‘conservative’ and ‘cloyingly sentimental’.

A Review of Geoconservation Values
Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

Email: [email protected] Cut-back of a sea-cliff at Hannant Inlet in remote South-West Tasmania has exposed Oligocene clays buried under Late Pleistocene “collu- vium” from which abundant wood fragments protrude. The two units are separated by a transitional interval defined by mixed Oligocene and Pleistocene microfloras. Microfloras preserved in situ in the clay provide a link between floras in Tasmania and other Southern Hemisphere landmasses following onset of major glaciation in East Antarctica during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (c. 34 Ma).

CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.
