Book Description
Excerpt from book: " From the lubras," rather consciously ; " I gave them beef in exchange." " A very fair one," but a light suddenly striking upon my mental vision. " Where do the lubras get them from ? They toil not, neither do they spin ! " " I don't know for certain, sir," she answered, looking down, " but they're digging the potato crop, I believe, at Campbell's farm." Here was foreshadowed the enormous Warrnambool export, that immense intercolonial potato trade, which has latterly assumed such proportions, and which invades even this far north-western corner of New South Wales. What glorious times I had, gun in hand, or with our three famous kangaroo dogs, slaying the swift marsupial. In those days he was tolerated and rather admired, no one imagining that he would be, a couple of generations later, a scourge and an oppressor, eating the sparse herbage of the overstocked squatter, and being classed as a " noxious animal," with a price actually put on his head by utilitarian legislators. THE DEATH OF VIOLET. Though kangaroo were plentiful, they were not so overwhelming in number as they have since become. Joe Burge and I had many a day's good sport together on foot. Like Mr. Sawyer and other sensible people we often saved our horses by using our own legs. For the dogs, Chase was a rough-haired Scotch deerhound, not quite pure, yet had she great speed and courage. Nothing daunted her. I saw her once jump off a dray, where she was in hospital with a broken leg (it had been smashed by the kick of an emu), and hobble off after a sudden- appearing kangaroo. She was said to have killed a dingo at ten months old—no trifling feat. Nero and Violet were brother and sister. They were smooth-haired greyhounds—the ordinary kangaroo dog of the colonist—very fast; and from a distant cross of " ...

Exploring Place in the Australian Landscape
Author: David S. Jones
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811932131
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
This book offers an original framework on how to investigate, understand and translate sense of place at a regional scale. The book explores contemporary sense of place theory and practice, drawing upon the Western District of Victoria, in Australia, being the "Country of the White Cockatoo". It offers a unique multi-temporal and thematical analytical approach towards comprehending and mapping the values that underpin and determine strengths of human relationships and nuances to this landscape. Included is a deep ethno-ecological and cross-cultural translation, that takes the reader through both the Western understanding of sense of place as well as the Australian Aboriginal understanding of Country. Both are different intellectual constructions of thoughts, values and ideologies, but which share numerous commonalities due to their archetypal meanings, feelings and values transmitted to humans.

Tarrone Estate

Book Description
The Soldier Settlement Commission purchased 23,373 acres of Tarrone Station from the Boyd Brothers in February 1947, fully stocked with sheep, cattle and horses. The first wool clip was sufficient to cover the cost. The first portion of fourteen holdings was subdivided in December 1947 and occupied in May 1948. The second group occupied their blocks in October 1949, nine others arrived in April 1952, and the final ten settlers arrived in 1957, making a total of 48 farms. The homestead area was sold by tender in March 1958. There was soon a thriving community with tennis and social clubs and Recreation Reserve Committee. By the 1060s Tarrone was carrying approximately 60,000 sheep and 3,000 head of cattle. By 1983 Tarrone was in the hands of a new generation. There remained nine of the original settlers with four others continuing farming through sons of the original settlers.
