Download or read book Dark Tourism and Rural Crime written by Jenny Wise and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing a unique rural lens to the analysis of dark tourism in Australia, this book covers a range of sites including convict museums, sites of serial killings and colonial violence, ghost tours and the emerging tourism of bushfire sites. While some rural communities develop a ‘dark tourism strategy’ to maintain economic viability, others may distance themselves from what they perceive to be unethical tourism practices. Jenny Wise examines the roles geographical locations play in dark tourist sites, and how their histories are portrayed, considering how the concept of the rural idyll or dystopia plays a part in Australia’s national identity.
Download or read book Bunty Bailey s Adventures in Berrima written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is based on historical events that have or may have occurred in Berrima during a year in a young girl's life. Some events have been fictionalized and others have been based on actual incidents. Most surnames and some information used in this story have been taken from the Berrima cemetery transcripts for the period of 1849 to 1850. Many buildings and places in the story are still to be found in and around Berrima. The life we lead today is very different to life in 1849, as illustrated in this story. Historical changes made since 1788, nation-wide and world-wide, have shaped Australia. Some of these changes are. Our evolving language derives from words that have changed, been introduced, dropped from usage or continue to be introduced. Common sayings have gone out of fashion just as new sayings are used now. Manners and speech were important and indicated the perceived background and position of a person in society. This is not as evident today.
Download or read book The Archaeology of Watercraft Abandonment written by Nathan Richards and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical importance and archaeological potential of deliberately discarded watercraft has not been a major feature of maritime archaeological enquiry. While research on the topic has appeared since the 1970s as books, chapters, and articles, most examples have been limited in focus and distribution, and in most cases disseminated as unpublished archaeological reports (i.e. the “gray literature”.) So, too, has there been a lack of a single source representing the diversity of geographical, historic, thematic, and theoretical contexts that ships’ graveyard sites and deliberately abandoned vessels represent. In contrast with much of the theoretical or case-specific literature on the theme of watercraft discard, this volume communicates to the reader the common heritage and global themes that ships’ graveyard sites represent. It serves as a blueprint to illustrate how the remains of abandoned vessels in ships' graveyards are sites of considerable research value. Moreover, the case studies in this volume assist researchers in understanding the evolution of maritime technologies, economies, and societies. This volume is intended to expose research potential, create discussion, and reinforce the significance of a prevalent cultural resource that is often overlooked.
Download or read book Hell and High Water written by Rochelle Nicholls and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The golden boy of Australian swimming and captain of the lifeguards on Manly Beach, Cecil Healy was the poster-boy for all that was decent in Australia before World War I. Powerful, bronzed and daring, his fearlessness made him a leader in the embryonic surf-lifesaving movement, and his unique crawl stroke captured swimming records across the globe. Healy became the darling of the Olympic movement in 1912 when he allowed a disqualified rival to swim and take the 100 metres freestyle title, sacrificing almost certain victory for fair play and honour. But Cecil Healy’s seemingly perfect life was beset by darkness and secrets. His repressed sexuality and inner demons drove him to acts of recklessness which would culminate in his supreme sacrifice on the battlefields of France. As World War I raged, the Olympic champion refused to remain protected behind the lines. His death on the Somme in 1918, charging a German machine-gun post, embodies the tortured self-destructiveness which still drives many male sportsmen to both glory and disaster. Cecil Healy remains the only Australian Olympic gold medallist to have given his life in the theatre of war. This book chronicles both Healy’s glittering sports performances and the torment behind this great, lost Olympian.

Download or read book John Oxley written by Rob Tickle and published by ETT Imprint. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This immaculately and painstakingly researched book, through its biographies of Oxley, Evans, Fraser and Harris explains the impulses that drove these men to explore and map the colony, to collect, identify and categorise its flora. But it succeeds in doing more than that because it also elucidates the motivations that drove them to become colonial entrepreneurs, farmers and businessmen, who in the pursuit of individual wealth advanced colonial prosperity. This important book makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Australia's European origins. - Emeritus Professor Richard Waterhouse

Download or read book Captured Lives written by Peter Monteath and published by National Library of Australia. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captured Lives peers behind the barbed wire drawn around people deemed threats to Australia's security during the two world wars. Civilians from enemy nations, even if born in Australia, were subjects of suspicion and locked away in internment camps. Prisoners-of-war were shipped from the other side of the world and shut away in camps in country Australia. No matter how unjust their internment or how severe the privations, most internees and POWs worked out ways to relieve their discomfort, physical and mental, and their boredom. Internees devoted their time to creative pursuits like theatre, musical ensembles, art and photography, while others involved themselves in sporting activities, gardening or studying. Captured Lives mentions over 30 of the main camps that were spread across Australia during the two world wars. Included are sketches, watercolours and photographs made by internees serve as references of the conditions and life in the camps from an insider's perspective.
