Book excerpt: Yalukit Willam - The River People of Port Phillip is published by the City of Port Phillip in consultation with the Boon Wurrung Foundation which describes the Aboriginal history of the City from settlement to today, including its significant Aboriginal cultural places. Before the arrival of Europeans in 1835, the City of Port Phillip area was occupied by the Yalukit Willam clan of the Boon Wurrung people or language group. Yalukit Willam means 'river home' or 'people of the river' The six clans of the Boon Wurrung people (sometimes called 'the Coast' or 'Westernport' tribe) were associated with Melbourne's southern suburbs, Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Wilsons Promontory. It was once a kind of 'temperate Kakadu' surrounded by sea, river, creeks, lakes and lagoons. Rising from the many former wetlands on the City were prominent points such as today's Point Ormond Hill, The Esplanade bluff, the silurian ridge of St Kilda Hill, and the ancient volcanic core of Emerald Hill. These provided higher and drier locations for willam or camp places for ceremonies, tool manufacture, ochre collection and lookouts. The book describes these places and how the City of Port Phillip landscape has changed since European occupation. As well as traditional sites such as corroboree, camping, hunting, lookout, midden, and bushtucker sites, the book also describes contemporary places in the City as well as significant language, maps, contemporary and historical images, sources and further information.

Download or read book Harvest of the Suburbs written by Andrea Gaynor and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on sources ranging from gardening books and magazines to statistics and oral history, Harvest of the suburbs challenges some widespread myths about food production in Australian cities, and traces the reasons for its enduring popularity. It describes changing attitudes and techniques, and explores the relationship between food production and a range of contemporary ideas relating to work, social organisation, gender roles, health and the body, and nature. In doing so, it provides new insights into the tension between the quest for independence and the desire for interdependence in suburban Australia." --book cover.

Download or read book The Free Kindergarten Union of Victoria 1908 80 written by Lyndsay Gardiner and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social history of the Free Kindergarten Union of the State of Victoria, Australia, from inception in 1908 to the year 1980 is recorded in this book. Growth of the union is described within the context of the World Wars, the Depression, and urbanization and industrialization. The story begins with volunteerism and philanthropy, and with four kindergartens attempting to meet the needs of impoverished children. By mid-century the union had become an influence on government and throughout society. Some of its ventures (the training of teachers, medical and dental inspection of preschool children, and funding of kindergartens and their staff) have become government functions. Peaking at 89 member kindergartens in 1975 and facing increasingly high costs, overdrafts, and lack of management experience in local parent committees, the union persisted in pioneering efforts by also venturing into the field of preschool education for migrant children. Within this account other situations unfold, such as the conflict between popular and inexpensive full-day childminding and the more expensive educationally oriented preschools. More than a general survey, this work gives numerous details, providing, for example, particulars indicating the impact on staff of John Bowlby's research and showing the positive influence of the "Kindergarten of the Air" radio program on parents' attitudes toward kindergarten.
