- Description: This unique book examines the vital and contested connections between colonialism and tourism, which are as lively and charged today as ever before. Demonstrating how much of the marketing of these destinations represents the constant renewal of colonialism in the tourism business, this book illustrates how actors in the worldwide tourism industry continue to benefit from the colonial roots of globalisation.
Aboriginal biocultural knowledge in South-eastern Australia : Perspectives of early colonists

- Description: Indigenous Australians have long understood sustainable hunting and harvesting, seasonal changes in flora and fauna, predator-prey relationships and imbalances, and seasonal fire management. Yet the extent of their knowledge and expertise has been largely unknown and under-appreciated by non-Aboriginal colonists, especially in the south-east of Australia where Aboriginal culture was severely fractured. Aboriginal Biocultural Knowledge in South-eastern Australia is the first book to examine historical records from early colonists who interacted with south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of their material world. This book provides a compelling case for the importance of understanding Indigenous knowledge, to inform discussions around climate change, biodiversity, resource management, health and education. It will be a valuable reference for natural resource management agencies, academics in Indigenous studies and anyone interested in Aboriginal culture and knowledge.

The children of the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate : An anthology of their reminiscences
- Authors: Clark, Ian , Cahir, David (Fred)
- Date: 2016
- Type: Text , Book
- Full Text: false
- Reviewed:
- Description: During the life of the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate from 1839 until late 1849 some 35 children of the Protectors were associated with the Protectorate. These children have been largely neglected by scholars and rendered historically invisible. Six of them have however left 28 distinct records of their experiences. In this work we hear the voice of Protectorate children - the authors bring them out of the shadows of their fathers and allow them to appear as influential actors in their own right, with their own motivations, goals, ideas, and relationships with Aboriginal people. Detailed biographical entries, where possible, are included on every protectorate child and on their spouses. For the first time, the reminiscences of William Jackson Thomas and Albert Le Souef are published in their entirety, and all of the writings of the Protectorate's children are brought together so that their contribution to our understanding of the Protectorate may be acknowledged and interpreted.
'A peep at the Blacks' : A history of tourism at Coranderrk Aboriginal Station, 1863-1924
- Authors: Clark, Ian
- Date: 2015
- Type: Text , Book
- Full Text:
- Reviewed:
- Description: This book is concerned with the history of tourism at the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station at Healesville, northeast of Melbourne, which functioned as a government reserve from 1863 until its closure in 1924. At Coranderrk, Aboriginal mission interests and tourism intersected and the station became a ‘showplace’ of Aboriginal culture and the government policy of assimilation. The Aboriginal residents responded to tourist interest by staging cultural performances that involved boomerang throwing and traditional ways of lighting fires and by manufacturing and selling traditional artifacts. Whenever government policy impacted adversely on the Aboriginal community, the residents of Coranderrk took advantage of the opportunities offered to them by tourism to advance their political and cultural interests. This was particularly evident in the 1910s and 1920s when government policy moved to close the station.

Ella Fitzgerald in Australia - a history

- Full Text: false
- Reviewed:
- Description: Ella Fitzgerald visited Australia four times (1954, 1960, 1970, 1978) in her long career that spanned six decades. This work presents a detailed history of Ella's tours of Australia using primary sources such as newspaper articles, photographs, and concert memorabilia that are assembled here for the first time. Other than some consideration of a racist event that occured en route to Australia in 1954, and the mistaken belief that Ella interrupted her 1960 tour to return to America to participate in J.F. Kennedy's pre-election inaugural gala, Ella Fitzgerald's tours of Australia have received very scant attention in her biographies and in studies of Australia's musical history.

- Description: This book showcases current research into Indigenous and minority placenames in Australia and internationally. Many of the chapters in this volume originated as papers at a Trends in Toponymy conference hosted by the University of Ballarat in 2007 that featured Australian and international speakers.

- Description: "The central station of the Goulburn River Aboriginal Protectorate District at what is now Murchison, which operated from 1840 until 1853, is a significant post-contact Aboriginal site on the Goulburn River. It was the focus of interaction between Aboriginal communities, particularly the Daungwurrung, Ngurai-illam wurrung, and Yorta Yorta peoples, government officials and settlers during the early years of contact in the Port Phillip District. The site continued to hold significance to Aboriginal people after the 1850s, linking pre- and post-contact histories and geographies. Through a meticulous analysis of official correspondence and other protectorate records, private journals, and reminiscences, this study reveals that the Murchison locality is one of the most important historic Aboriginal places in regional Victoria.
