Book Synopsis My Shout at the Daly Waters Pub by : Mark Venable
Download or read book My Shout at the Daly Waters Pub written by Mark Venable and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historic Daly Waters Pub is in the middle of a 1,000,000 acre cattle station, with the nearest neighbours a six-pack of beer drive away. In between the neighbours and the constant wave of Territory tourists is the famous pub.In the mid-1980's I quit my surveying career to purchase the Daly Waters Pub in the Northern Territory. It became an adventure of a lifetime and this is my extraordinary story. With my wife Leonie, Max the cat and a few parrots, we drove 2,500km north across Australia in our Combi van to start a new life. Our excitement is contagious and our fears are real. "My Shout at the Daly Waters Pub" gives the reader a fascinating insight into the original pub owners and then my life as the publican, many years later, in a remote Northern Territory town of only six houses, thirteen locals and a bush pub. Many photos accompany the rollicking pub yarns and thought provoking anecdotes describing our experience of living in the outback.
Download or read book A Wild History written by Darrell Lewis and published by Monash University Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frontiersmen who came to the Victoria River District of Australia’s Northern Territory included cattle and horse thieves, outlaws, capitalists, dreamers, drunks, madmen and others, from the explorers of the 1830s and 1850s to the founders of the big stations in the 1880s and 1890s, and the cattle duffers in the early 1900s. This book looks at them all. Drawing on painstaking research into obscure and rich documentary sources, Aboriginal oral traditions, and first-hand investigations conducted in the region over thirty-five years, Darrell Lewis pieces together the complex interactions between the environment, the powerful and warlike Aboriginal tribes and the settlers and their cattle, which produced what truly became A Wild History.
Book Synopsis Truth-telling and the Ancient University by : Gavin John Morris
Download or read book Truth-telling and the Ancient University written by Gavin John Morris and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shares a strength-based truth-telling model, which reveals the trauma associated with the experience of colonisation and the traditional healing practices specific to the Nauiyu Nambiyu community in Australia. It explores the significance of community placed on developing the 'Ancient University', an Aboriginal-based, stand-alone healing centre that incorporates traditional healing practices. This book outlines the truth-telling model, which was developed by the Nauiyu community to address a community need. This unique approach represents a deliberate shift from decolonial scholarship, which merely captures Indigenous voice speaking back to the colonisers. This book explores Indigenous critical pedagogies to investigate theoretical frameworks with implications for planning, learning and teaching which are culturally responsive in a variety of contexts. It is the first of its kind that utilises an Indigenous research methodology on the country and with the people to which it belongs.

Download or read book What’s the Story? written by John Burgess and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of his first book, Life Luck and Liaisons, it was becoming apparent that sailing and travel were going to be essential ingredients in the life of John Burgess. In his teens, he had travelled the length and breadth of his homeland, New Zealand. Aged eighteen, he had travelled with a friend to Australia, hitch-hiking from Sydney to Mossman, north of Cairns. There followed a two-year sailing adventure across the Pacific and Asia. He knew that such an experience would not be his last. The seed was sown. This second book is a series of travel stories. His time spent in London in the swinging sixties and yacht racing in the English Channel and then discovering outback Australia after he finally settled in Sydney. There were excursions to fish for Barramundi in Kakadu and a camping trip with his son in the Kimberley. He travelled from Perth to Broome and on to Darwin as well as exploring Cairns to Cape York and Thursday Island. In the nineties, a sailing holiday in the West Indies reunited him with his English friend from sailing days in the UK. However, the most challenging sailing experience came later, as crew on an Australian yacht, sailing from the Maldives to Egypt. There were other travel experiences including driving around Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula at the time of the Chiapas uprising. In John’s view, Cuba offers a travel experience not to be missed, although game safaris in Botswana, with a train ride through South Africa thrown in, would rank equally.

Download or read book A Water Story written by Geoff Beeson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater scarcity is a critical challenge, with social, economic, political and environmental consequences. Water crises in Australia have already led to severe restrictions being applied in cities, drought ravaging farmlands, and the near-terminal decline of some rivers and wetlands. A Water Story provides an account of Australian water management practices, set against important historical precedents and the contemporary experience of other countries. It describes the nature and distribution of the country's natural water resources, management of these resources by Indigenous Australians, the development of urban water supply, and support for pastoral activities and agricultural irrigation, with the aid of case studies and anecdotes. This is followed by discussion of the environmental consequences and current challenges of water management, including food supply, energy and climate change, along with options for ensuring sustainable, adequate high-quality water supplies for a growing population. A Water Story is an important resource for water professionals and those with an interest in water and the environment and related issues, as well as students and the wider community.

Download or read book True Stories written by Inga Clendinnen and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-04 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ghosts swarm like angry bees...the early wars, the Stolen Children report, the devastating health statistics, the extravagant incidence of self-destructive acts among Aboriginal adolescents...There has also been a great deal of talk about ‘guilt’ and ‘shame’, and what precise mixture of each non-Aboriginal Australia should be feeling. Inga Clendinnen believes that democratic people need true stories about their past. In this engaging essay, based on Clendinnen’s 1999 Boyer Lectures, she argues for the rejection of any single, simple account of the Australian past. The reader catches the experience of individuals through fragments—a woman being manhandled on a beach, an old man remembering the hard lessons of his boyhood in a Jesuit mission, an old woman urgently dancing the history of her country. What whites have done to indigenous Australians has been described as the ‘locked cupboard’ of Australian history. Now, ‘the cupboard is locked no more’. This frank and challenging review of race relations in Australia helps us cast off prejudice and foregone conclusions and to look with fresh eyes. It enables us to understand better how this nation came to be what it is today.
