Middlemarsh: The Hopkins River, Kindred Wetlands and Remarkable People
Author: Rod Giblett
Publisher: Transnational Press London
ISBN: 1801352003
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
“One book leads to another; one book grows out of another; one book flows out of others. Flowing is a fitting figure for a book about a river, creeks, wetlands and water. The present volume grew out of a brief discussion of two paintings of wetlands in mid-western Victoria by the nineteenth-century colonial landscape painter Eugene von Guérard. This discussion was part of a chapter on wetlands in Australian painting and photography (Giblett 2020a). It was included in John Ryan’s and Li Chen’s edited collection Australian Wetland Cultures (Ryan and Chen, eds 2020). I also contributed a chapter to this volume on Aboriginal wetland cultures, their sacral water beings and their refraction in Rainbow Serpent anthropology and Rainbow Spirit theology (Giblett 2020e). I take up and develop this discussion in the present volume in relation to particular Aboriginal peoples and places in mid-western Victoria, their practices of wetland cultures and their stories about and images of them, including the Rainbow Serpent." Contents Introduction to the Hopkins River, Its Basin, People and Places 13 Chapter 1. The Cast of Characters and A Companion of A Captain of Conservation. 35 Chapter 2. Where The River Rises: The Upper Hopkins, Its Creeks and Lake Bolac. 57 Chapter 3. Wetlands of ‘Australia Felix’: Between ‘The Grampians’ and The Upper Hopkins 77 Chapter 4. A Ramble Along The River: Through Colonial Places On The Middle Hopkins 103 Chapter 5. People and Place of Hissing Swan: Wetlands On The Middle Hopkins 125 Chapter 6.
