- Description: ‘Homage tourism’ is able to include a range of forms of tourism such as visits to memorials, cemeteries, and places where special events took place. Homage tourism then is capable of being understood as a continuum from the sacred homage of religious pilgrimage embracing spiritual subjects at one end to secular or profane homage embracing the sacralization of cultural celebrities and critical events at the other. Secular homage often uses the language and behaviour of the sacred discourse and acts towards and refers to the subject or object of the homage in sacred-like ways - associated places become sacred sites, structures become shrines, actions become religious rites. This paper will explore two dimensions of secular homage, that of adulation or acclaim or tribute and remembrance. It will explore the former through focussing on jazz tourism and in particular the tourism of adulation that has emerged around jazz vocalist Ella Jane Fitzgerald, and the latter through an examination of visitation to the Australian Ex-Prisoner of War Memorial in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. Though visitation to a war memorial or visitation to places associated with important people may appear disparate they both share the commonality that they are external actions with reverential intent, they are both examples of homage tourism.

- Description: In a recent paper on transparency versus opacity in Australian Aboriginal place names, linguist Michael Walsh (2002: 47) noted that in ‘Aboriginal Australia it is relatively common for a given place to have multiple names’. In providing an overview of multiple naming practices Walsh (2002: 47) stated the ‘simplest case is one place having two names. Such doublets can be intralectal or crosslectal. For intralectal doublets where there are two names for the one place in the same lect, both placenames may be opaque, both transparent, or one opaque and one transparent. … The same applies to crosslectal doublets where two names for the one place come from different lects’. Walsh (2002) observed that he was unclear on how multiple naming works and what its function is. Other than some case studies (Schebeck 2002 re Flinders Ranges, Sutton 2002 re the Wik region, Cape York, and Tamisari 2002), we are yet to gain a comprehensive picture for Aboriginal Australia. This paper adds to this discussion through a consideration of multiple naming in western Victoria using the results of research conducted by Clark and Heydon (2002) into Victorian Aboriginal place names. The paper also considers the policy implications of multiple indigenous naming for place name administration in Victoria. Victoria has adopted a dual naming policy that recognises a non-indigenous and an indigenous toponym for the one place but is yet to accept multiple indigenous naming.
