Download or read book Queensland s Frontier Wars written by Jack Drake and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queensland’s Frontier Wars is an attempt to document the known confrontations between either white settlers or white and native police and First Nations people where deaths were reported. It is now an accepted premise that these confrontations were wars to gain access to the land, because, if not wars, then it was mass murder. No one in Queensland was charged with the murder of First Nations during these confrontations. The book shows the invasion from New South Wales into southern Queensland and the advances from the sea in central and north Queensland. The ‘dispersement’ of the First Nations people from their land was violent and efficient using far superior weaponry. This book adds significantly to the true and uncomfortable history of Queensland.

Download or read book Pastoral Australia written by Michael Pearson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2010 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral Australiatells the story of the expansion of Australia's pastoral industry, how it drove European settlement and involved Aboriginal people in the new settler society. The rural life that once saw Australia "ride on the sheep's back" is no longer what defines Australians, yet it is largely their history as a pastoral nation that has endured in heritage places and which is embedded in their self-image as Australians. The challenges of sustaining a pastoral industry in Australia make a compelling story of their own. Developing livestock breeds able to prosper in the Australian environment was an ongoing challenge, as was getting wool and meat to market. Many stock routes, wool stores, abattoirs, wharf facilities, railways, roads, and river and ocean transport systems that were developed to link the pastoral interior with the urban and market infrastructure still survive. Windmills, fences, homesteads, shearing sheds, bores, stock yards, traveling stock routes, bush roads and railheads all changed the look of the country. These features of the landscape are symbols of a pastoral Australia, and of the foundations of a national identity, which will endure long into the future. Key features * Outlines the history of pastoralism from 1788 to 1967 in an accessible way * Links the history to the many and varied surviving sites and landscape features created by it, which are now part of the heritage * Tells the story of involvement of Aboriginal people in pastoralism, particularly in northern Australia * Puts pastoralism into the context of Australia's development as a nation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consist of 13 more stories bought to you buy Jeff Hill. The world has changed. The men and women of the outback are passing on. Fortunately, we have the memories and the stories of those who developed this great nation. They are the unsung heroes that built on the earlier efforts of the pioneers; the advancement and improvements created by the outback people have strengthened the character of our nation. These generations endured in the isolated regions while the cities had regular power and water supplies. My heroes carried water in canteens on ‘difficult to catch’ mules and the light at night in the stock camps was a carbide light — if you were lucky. These stories are written adventures about the outback people of Australia; they are the Privileged Few of our generation; they belong to the past 80 years of progress of outback history and knowledge. Full credit to Jeff Hill and his family for their outstanding contribution to the library of the outback.

Book excerpt: Digging through the myths around Australia’s most famous artist, many of which he created himself as a masterful self-promoter, this book is the biography that Sidney Nolan deserves. In an authoritative, insightful and often irreverent biography that fully charts Nolan’s life and work, Nancy Underhill peels back the layers from a complicated, expedient and manipulative artistic genius. She carries the story from Nolan’s birth in 1917 to his death in 1992, tracing his early life, his experience as a commercial artist, his involvement in theAngry Penguins magazine, his painting and set design, his difficult marriages and friendships with some of the twentieth century’s most famous figures: Patrick White, Albert Tucker, Benjamin Britten, Robert Lowell, Stephen Spender and Kenneth Clark.
