A lady was one day telling our then Governor, Sir Thomas Gore Browne, of what she termed "a very bad road." A Bad. Road. 131 "A bad road," rejoined he. "Can ten bullocks pull a cart through it V She thought they could. "Ah, then," replied the Governor, laughing, "it 's not a bad road. We used to consider any road in New Zealand a good one that ten bullocks could pull through." In some districts of our island the municipal road trusts have done good service in the improvement of country ways by bridging dangerous fords and by avoiding the worst mountain passes. But in many cases ignorance of the simplest principles of surveying or engineering is but too evident, and the expenditure of-the small disposable funds, with all but useless result, is the outcome. Our friends could have sadly verified these observations as they pursued their journey. The destructive floods of the past winter had rendered even "made" roads worse than those left in primitive bush condition. In one place, where the road wound terrace-wise round the steep side of a mountain above a deep wooded ravine, in the bottom of which flowed a river, the outer portion of the road, built up of rocks and stones, was washed down, leaving a space something less in places than the width of the cart-wheels; and on reaching it, Mr. Merton set down his passengers to walk, he and Lina carefully leading the horses over the dangerous ground, which extended a quarter of a mile or more. In another, a-causeway of earth, with the road on the top, had been thrown up across a wide marsh, leaving a small bridged opening for the usual river, but making no allowance for the enormous additional volume of water which covered the whole valley...

Book excerpt: This volume traces the 300-year history of bird art in Australia, from the crudely illustrated records of the earliest European voyages of discovery to the diversity of artwork available at the start of the 21st century. It is a history inseparable from the development of Australian ornithology. Against a background of establishment of the country itself, naval draftsmen, convicts, officers, settlers, naturalists, artists and scientists alike contributed both to the art and to science.

Book excerpt: From yaks and vultures to whales and platypuses, animals have played central roles in the history of British imperial control. The contributors to Animalia analyze twenty-six animals—domestic, feral, predatory, and mythical—whose relationship to imperial authorities and settler colonists reveals how the presumed racial supremacy of Europeans underwrote the history of Western imperialism. Victorian imperial authorities, adventurers, and colonists used animals as companions, military transportation, agricultural laborers, food sources, and status symbols. They also overhunted and destroyed ecosystems, laying the groundwork for what has come to be known as climate change. At the same time, animals such as lions, tigers, and mosquitoes interfered in the empire's racial, gendered, and political aspirations by challenging the imperial project’s sense of inevitability. Unconventional and innovative in form and approach, Animalia invites new ways to consider the consequences of imperial power by demonstrating how the politics of empire—in its racial, gendered, and sexualized forms—played out in multispecies relations across jurisdictions under British imperial control.

Download or read book The Europeans in Australia written by Alan Atkinson and published by UNSW Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third and final volume of the landmark, award-winning series The Europeans in Australia that gives an account of settlement by Britain. It tells of the various ways in which that experience shaped imagination and belief among the settler people from the eighteenth century to the end of World War I.Volume Three, Nation, tells the story of Australian Federation and the war with a focus, as ever on ordinary habits of thought and feeling. In this period, for the first time the settler people began to grasp the vastness of the continent, and to think of it as their own. There was a massive funding of education, and the intellectual reach of men and women was suddenly expanded, to an extent that seemed dazzling to many at the time. Women began to shape public imagination as they had not done before. At the same time, the worship of mere ideas had its victims, most obviously the Aboriginal people, and the war itself proved what vast tragedies it could unleash.The culmination of an extraordinary career in the writing and teaching of Australian history, The Europeans in Australia grapples with the Australian historical experience as a whole from the point of view of the settlers from Europe. Ambitious and unique, it is the first such large, single-author account since Manning Clark’s A History of Australia.

Download or read book From Colonial to Modern written by Michelle J. Smith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a comparison of Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand texts published between 1840 and 1940, From Colonial to Modern develops a new history of colonial girlhoods revealing how girlhood in each of these emerging nations reflects a unique political, social, and cultural context. Print culture was central to the definition, and redefinition, of colonial girlhood during this period of rapid change. Models of girlhood are shared between settler colonies and contain many similar attitudes towards family, the natural world, education, employment, modernity, and race, yet, as the authors argue, these texts also reveal different attitudes that emerged out of distinct colonial experiences. Unlike the imperial model representing the British ideal, the transnational girl is an adaptation of British imperial femininity and holds, for example, a unique perception of Indigenous culture and imperialism. Drawing on fiction, girls’ magazines, and school magazine, the authors shine a light on neglected corners of the literary histories of these three nations and strengthen our knowledge of femininity in white settler colonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For the first time, fish became our companions and a corner of many a Victorian parlour was given over to housing tiny fragments of their world enclosed in glass.” The experience of seeing a fish swimming in a glass tank is one we take for granted now but in Victorian England this was a remarkable sight. People had simply not been able to see fish as they now could with the invention of the aquarium and everything that went with it. Goldfish in the Parlour looks at the boom in the building of public aquariums, as well as the craze for home aquariums and visiting the seaside, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Furthermore, this book considers how people see and meet animals and, importantly, in what institutions and in what contexts these encounters happen. John Simons uncovers the sweeping consequences of the Victorian obsession with marine animals by looking at naturalist Frank Buckland’s Museum of Economic Fish Culture and the role of fish in the Victorian economy, the development of angling as a sport divided along class lines, the seeding of Empire with British fish and comparisons with aquarium building in Europe, USA and Australia. Goldfish in the Parlour interrogates the craze that took over Victorian England when aquariums “introduced” fish to parks, zoos and parlours.
