Book Synopsis Tales from Bush Graves by : Anne Alloway
Download or read book Tales from Bush Graves written by Anne Alloway and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. Many of the men were suffering from alcohol related problems. Most deaths were caused by fever, accidents, suicide, and murder. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents.

Book Synopsis Mining Heritage and Tourism by : Michael Conlin
Download or read book Mining Heritage and Tourism written by Michael Conlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many former mining areas have now lost their industrial function and are now turning to tourism for regional revitalization and community economic development. The transformation process of these industrial, and in some cases derelict, mining sites and landscapes into an area of interest for tourists is a major challenge both for planners and for tourism managers. It involves complex consideration to both the preservation of the physical site and community mining heritages as well as the health, safety and environmental factors inherent in opening these vast sites to the public. Mining Heritage and Tourism includes contributions from internationally recognized authorities and is the first book to focus on the issues, challenges and potentials in redeveloping mines as cultural heritage attractions which are explored thematically throughout the book. It draws on multidisciplinary research to consider the dichotomy between heritage preservation and tourist development goals for mining heritage sites as well as to explore the practical challenges of developing these sites. These themes are illustrated by case studies from a vast range of geographical locations around the globe to offer operational insights into the planning and management of these sites for both heritage and tourism purposes, as well as innovative site management techniques. There has never before been a more comprehensive book on mining heritage tourism representing the latest developments in strategy, policy and practices. This book serves as an invaluable guide for students, researchers, academics and practitioners in the areas of Tourism and Heritage Management.
Book Synopsis Tales from Bush Graves – Cloncurry by : Anne Alloway
Download or read book Tales from Bush Graves – Cloncurry written by Anne Alloway and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2023-01-27 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many lonely graves and isolated cemeteries scattered throughout the North Western area of Queensland. This book represents only a small gathering of information from a cross-section of outback inhabitants. Northwest Queensland is a very hard, harsh, rugged part of Australia, which has a strange beauty about it. Rocks and Spinifex surround the hills and valleys, with wide open plains and rivers. With fast cars and wide open roads the modern traveller can be forgiven for forgetting the days of the coach routes, and bush tracks that crisscrossed the country. The lonely miners and bush men who opened up much of this beautiful country and the black men who fought to keep the white man out often died and were buried in isolation, with few records accurately kept of their burials. There were literally hundreds of graves in Northwest Queensland some are virtually non-existent after many years of weathering and neglect, almost all lost in history, time and memories. The stories of their passing will be lost if it is not recorded. With the availability of modern technology people don’t have to face the hardships of their forebears who opened up the outback of Australia, faced droughts, floods, fires and being attacked by the local indigenous tribes. Here is a short history of some of those people who travelled the West and didn’t survive. Greg Humphrey

Download or read book Gugu Badhun written by Yvonne Cadet-James and published by Aiatsis Research Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging historical scholarship and Aboriginal oral tradition, this innovative book tells the story of the Gugu Badhun people of the Valley of Lagoons in North Queensland. It provides new insights into Aboriginal-European interactions, and new understandings of how Aboriginal people sustained their identities and exercised agency. It lays bare violence and oppression, but also recognises the inter-racial cooperation and friendships which were equally part of Gugu Badhun experience. It tells of a people whose options were limited by state power and public racism but who remained proud and undaunted, making their own decisions for their collective and individual benefit. Much of the story is told in the words of Gugu Badhun people themselves. Interviews are interspersed with commentary and analysis by the four authors, one of whom, Yvonne Cadet-James, is herself a Gugu Badhun elder. This collaborative approach has produced a timely book for an Australia in which notions of Indigenous autonomy and self-determination are being re-imagined and re-configured.

Book Synopsis Cobb & Co Coaching in Queensland by : Tranter Deborah
Download or read book Cobb & Co Coaching in Queensland written by Tranter Deborah and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 70 years, Cobb & Co. coaches and horses travelled millions of kilometres of unmade outback roads to provide communication links for many isolated communities. Nowhere was the influence of the legendary coaching company so widespread as in Queensland, where Cobb & Co. operated horse-drawn coaches from 1866 until succumbing to the motor vehicle in 1924.This special edition of Cobb & Co. Coaching in Queensland - redesigned and reissued for the centenary of the last coach service in Queensland - traces the rise and decline of this historic company. Drawing on extensive research, including interviews and correspondence with former employees and passengers, Deborah Tranter challenges myths about the company in this highly visual panorama of Queensland's formative years from the perspective of the people who built, drove, serviced and travelled on Cobb & Co. coaches.
