    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

The botanist Walter Hill, naturalist Frederick Strange and crew members went ashore. Hill went off with three Aboriginal people while the crew stayed behind with six others. When Hill returned, he found the crew except Dalaipi (an Aboriginal crew member) dead. Nine Aboriginal people were later captured and sent to Sydney to be tried for the killings. They appeared before the Water Police Court in Sydney before the court ordered they be sent back to the Percy Isles, though they appear not to have made it beyond Port Curtis. The death of Strange was widely reported in newspapers across Australia and was portrayed as a clash between the “heroic explorer and scientist” and the “untutored savage”. The events on the Percy Isles and further contacts on islands off the coast of central Queensland occurred from a time of limited hostile contact through a period of growing shipping movement, to a time of more substantial and lethal contact involving the Native Police. Contact events on the central Queensland coast reviewed here provide insights into reasons for initial limited hostilities on the offshore islands prior to increasing hostile and lethal conflict on mainland coastal and inland frontiers.

  • THE 17698 the UNIVERSITY of QUEENSLAND Accepted for the Award of Baskcsljcb
    THE 17698 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Accepted for the award of BaskcslJcb. on. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SPATIAL VARIABILITY ON BRIBIE ISLAND, SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND Annette Deborah (Tarn) Smith B. A. (Hens) Thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Social Science, The University of Queensland September 2003 The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been previously submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. T. Smith ABSTRACT Aspects of a hypothetical model of Aboriginal subsistence and settlement on Bribie Island, Southeast Queensland were tested by a technological analysis of stone artefacts. The original model posited movement over the island north-south along the remnant Pleistocene dune system, with limited west-east movement where swamps did not present a barrier. It also posited that groups coalesced and dispersed in response to varying stimuli; and that the two largest sites were semi-permanent residential areas as well as major import points for stone. As stone does not naturally occur on Bribie Island raw materials (and perhaps finished artefacts) were imported. A number of assumptions were made concerning the nature of spatial patterning of artefacts and raw materials relative to hypothesised import points. These included correlations between distance from import points and raw material variability, reliability of raw material, variability in artefact technical categories, and relative artefact size. Analysis results refuted these assumptions. No patterns relating to the import of raw materials and/or artefacts were revealed.

  • Aboriginal Camps As Urban Foundations? Evidence from Southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove
    Aboriginal camps as urban foundations? Evidence from southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove Musgrave Park: Aboriginal Brisbane’s political heartland In 1982, Musgrave Park in South Brisbane took centre stage in Queensland’s ‘State of Emergency’ protests. Bob Weatherall, President of FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islanders Research Action), together with Neville Bonner – Australia’s first Aboriginal Senator – proclaimed it ‘Aboriginal land’. Musgrave Park could hardly be more central to the issue of land rights. It lies in inner Brisbane – just across the river from the government agencies that were at the time trying to quash Aboriginal appeals for landownership, yet within the state’s cultural hub, the South Bank Precinct. It was a very contentious green space. Written and oral sources concur that the park had been an Aboriginal networking venue since the 1940s.1 OPAL (One People of Australia League) House – Queensland’s first Aboriginal-focused organisation – was established close to the park in 1961 specifically to service the large number of Aboriginal people already using it. Soon after, many key Brisbane Aboriginal services sprang up around the park’s peripheries. By 1971, the Black Panther party emerged with a dramatic march into central Brisbane.2 More recently, Musgrave Park served as Queensland’s ‘tent 1 Aird 2001; Romano 2008. 2 Lothian 2007: 21. 141 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 42 2018 embassy’ and tent city for a series of protests (1988, 2012 and 2014).3 It attracts 20,000 people to its annual NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week, Australia’s largest-attended NAIDOC venue.4 This history makes Musgrave Park the unofficial political capital of Aboriginal Brisbane.

  • Turrbal People
    THE TURRBAL RESPONSE TO THE QLD GOVT CONSULTATION PAPER ON THE REVIEW OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE ACTS Prepared by Ade Kukoyi For & on behalf of the Turrbal Assoc & the Turrbal people. August 2019. 1 1.0 WHO’S WHO IN THE ZOO - THE TURRBAL PEOPLE & THEIR COUNTRY - BRISBANE The detailed accounts and in some cases, scanty records of the earliest ticket-of-leave convicts ( Pamphlet, Parsons and Finnegan), and explorers Oxley, Cunningham and others such as Fyans, Ridley who made the contact with the original inhabitants of the Brisbane area have been corroborated largely by the accounts of Thomas Petrie. 1.1 Tom Petrie's Reminiscences of Early Queensland by Constance Campbell Petrie (1904), is undoubtedly one of the most detailed account of early European contacts with Aborigines in South East Queensland, particularly Brisbane. Tom Petrie was born in Scotland in 1831 and arrived in Brisbane in 1837 with his father Andrew, as a young six- year old boy. His life-long experience of living with the Brisbane Aborigines, written by his daughter Constance, represents an invaluable work of social history which vividly describes life in the Moreton Bay penal settlement from the 1830s. He lived and grew up with the original inhabitants of the Brisbane area, which he knew as the Turrbal. As a member of one of Brisbane’s founding families, Tom Petrie grew up on the colonial frontier. He is arguably the on e of th e primary sources available about the culture, customs and beliefs of the original inhabitants of the Brisbane area. The reason for this is straight forward - whilst the other writers were mostly ‘observers’ or ‘passing through’, Tom Petrie lived and grew up with the Aborigines, and spoke the Turrbal language fluently.

  • Richard Carroll Thesis
    Re-presenting the Past: Authenticity and the Historical Novel A novel and exegesis by Richard Carroll BA (UQ), Honours First Class (QUT) Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Submitted as a requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ii Keywords Aboriginal people, appropriation, authenticity, Brisbane, creative writing process, culture studies, fact/fiction dichotomy, genre studies, historical novel, historiography, literary studies, practice-led research, protocols for non- Indigenous authors, Queensland history, representation, research and aesthetics in fiction, Tom Petrie, whiteness, white writing black. iii Abstract The practice-led project consists of a 51,000 word historical novel and a 39,000 word exegesis that explores the defining elements of historical fiction and the role it plays in portraying the past. The creative work Turrwan (great man), tells the story of Tom Petrie, an early Queensland settler who arrived at the Moreton Bay Penal Colony in 1837 at the age of six. Tom was unusual in that he learnt the language of the local Turrbal people and was accepted as one of their own. The novel explores relationships between the Aboriginal people and settlers with the aim of heightening historical awareness and understanding of this divisive era in Queensland’s history. I believe that literature has neglected the fictionalising of the early history of Brisbane and that my novel could fill this gap. The project is a combination of qualitative and practice-led research: qualitative through the exegesis which consists of mainly discursive data, and practice-led through the creative work. In response to questions raised in the process of writing the story, the investigation explores the historical novel in an attempt to better understand the nature of the genre and how this knowledge could inform the creative work.

  • Determinants of Earth Circle Site Location in the Moreton Region
    DETERMINANTS OF EARTH CIRCLE SITE LOCATION IN THE HORETON REGION, SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND LEONN SATTERTHWAIT and ANDREW HEqTHER Anthropology & Sociology Social & Cultural Studies School of Education University of pueensland James Cwk University of North Queensland INTRODUCTION Severa 1 studies, both anthropo logica 1 and archaeologica 1, have drawn attention to the broader social, economic, and political implications of Aboriginal ceremonial activities, as well as highlighted the role of ceremonial involvment as a mechanism of change in Aboriginal Australia (e-g., Altman 1983, 1987; Barker 1976; Bern 1979; Hamilton 1980; Lourandos . 1980, 1983, 1985; Myers 1980a, 1980b; Satterthwait 1987; Thomson 1949). The difficulty, from an archaeological perspective, is to locate demonstrable evidence of these activities. Earth circle sites ("~orarings") provide such evidence. These sites are conspicuous features of the Southeast Queensland archaeological landscape not only because of their prevalence in the area, but also because they constitute sites whose functions were expressly social and ceremonial. Consequently, earth circles are of particular significance as material expressions of a fundamental dimension of Aboriginal life, and for this reason, their considered examination is critical to a more complete understanding of the archaeology of the region. Earth circles figured in a number of complex social, cultural and environmental relationships, and there are several intriguing lines of inquiry that could be pursued with regard to them. The principal aim of this paper, however, is to identify the factors determining their distribution and location in the region. As will be demonstrated, environmental factors appear to have been of particular importance, especially those associated with the provision of resources for the often large numbers of people gathered at earth circle sites.
