Book excerpt: The early settlers at the Swan River determined they would remain a free settlement, but after twenty years of unremitting struggle, as their economic circumstances became perilous, they were forced to petition the British Government for convicts and the much needed labour their presence would bring.Between 1850 and 1868, close to 10,000 male convict arrived in Western Australia from Britain. Far from being the detrimental influence many predicted, the 'lags', the detritus from the iniquities of the English legal and penal systems, injected new life into an stagnant economy. Despite a high percentage of original serious criminality among them, the vastly different environment in this most isolated of British settlements had a positive influence on these refugees from the cruel prisons and hulks of the Home country.The convict system in W.A. proved to be forward and benign by comparison with the systems of earlier decades in New South Wales and Tasmania. In consequence, many of the convicts who were landed at Fremantle subsequently became valuable citizens, helping to lay the foundations of early, modern Western Australia.

Download or read book Take Me to the River written by Julian Bolleter and published by University of Western Australia Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Western Australia, the Swan River has been flowing the same course for some 60 million years. Take Me to the River traces the relationship of European-Australian culture to this ancient river system. This historical narrative is viewed through the lens of schemes proposed for Perth's foreshore, the city's symbolic front garden. The foreshore has been contentious since the first plan for Perth was drawn up, and has subsequently acted as a sinkhole for hundreds of proposals. An investigation of this archaeological stratum of foreshore drawings allows us to understand changing ideas of what Perth was, what it could have been, and indeed what it can be. "This fascinating book uncovers hundreds of 'lost' proposals for Perth's foreshore - and sets out a compelling vision for how the city should relate to its river in the 21st century. It is essential reading for those who have a stake in the future of Perth and the Swan River." -- Janet Holmes a Court AC *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Urban Design, Architecture, Australian Studies]

Download or read book Sense of Place written by George Seddon and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972, George Seddon wrote Sense of Place, documenting his experience and research into the Swan Coastal Plain, which has since become a landmark Australian environmental publication. Among its claims to influence is having given modern currency to the term sense of place. Although Seddon did not coin the phrase, it was this book that introduced the phrase into the fields of landscape and environmental design. The book includes information on landforms, climate, geology, soils, flora, the Swan River, the coast, offshore islands, wetlands, and urban areas. Mr. Warner in his Adirondack story, shot a bear by aiming, not at his eye or heart, but at him 'generally'. But we cannot aim 'generally' at the universe, or if we do, we will miss our game. So said William James, the philosopher, and it is good advice on how to take aim at environmental problems. Sense of Place is a topographic essay, not on the universe, but the environs of Perth, Western Australia. It is in three parts: The Land - The Plants - Man. The landforms, climate, drainage geology and plant-cover are discussed in detail, to construct a picture of the region before European settlement. The last third deals with the land use by Aboriginal and European, and the major environmental resources of the region.
