Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years before Europeans settled on the land now occupied by the western region of Melbourne, it was the estate of a number of Koorie clans. Koories lived a lifestyle which was closely connected to the environment. Any study of this way of life therefore has to take account of what the countryside was like before Europeans arrived, and the changes which have occurred since then. What we know about the life of the Koories before Europeans came, and about how the countryside has changed through time, has been learned by studying a variety of sources of information. These sources include historical descriptions and accounts, official records, geological evidence, and archaeological investigation. This book gives a general account of what is known as a result of these studies, as it applies to the western region of Melbourne.

Book excerpt: The Giant by the River is a social history spanning 140 years, from the foundation of the Yarraville Sugar Works by Joshua Brothers in 1873 to its present status as Sugar Australia's head office and most productive refinery. For more than a century, Yarraville Sugar Works was owned and run by Colonial Sugar Refining Co. This history explores themes of workplace organisation, welfare, relationship to the wider community, health and safety, paternalism and patriotism.Comments and poems by former and current employees accentuate the camaraderie and challenges of this unique workplace. Connections formed within the works extended into leisure activities. Early on, the company put on works picnics and established sporting facilities on site. CSR Yarraville maintained its own turf wicket while fielding a team in the local industrial cricket competition.As the Yarraville Sugar Works consolidated, CSR's paternalism became more pronounced. Loyal employees benefitted from welfare schemes. At the same time, many accidents and fatalities occurred there. Growing unionism in the 20th century eventually achieved wages boards that gave workers a voice in negotiations over pay and conditions. Health and Safety improved greatly post war.The discussion of CSR's war effort begins with the China Contingent and extends through to World War II. To illustrate how World War I impacted on Yarraville, the author focuses on members of the Macdonald clan who enlisted. She also identifies recipients of gallantry awards.Of particular interest are the advances in technology in the areas of transport and packaging. To illustrate the changes, photographs are included from the CSR collection of the National Butlin Archives Centre, ANU and Sugar Australia's collection. The author's own photographs and drawings supplement the visual record. The cover design features her drawing of the Yarraville Sugar Works from the vantage point of Coode Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Buckley was a six-foot-seven British convict who escaped from the first British penal colony established in the southeastern part of the Australian continent in 1803, and he would go on to spend the next thirty-three years living among the local Aborigines until he was discovered by settlers of the region in 1835. From Dreamtime to Armageddon tells the fascinating story of William Buckley, Australias very own Robinson Crusoe. Relying on a mix of fact and fiction, author Phillip Gray weaves a first-hand narrative that takes us into the mind of William Buckley as he lives out his adventure following his sentencing to a lifes imprisonment in a faraway landa land that would become his new home. William Buckley would experience a new life, a new land, and a new culture, and he would go on to be embraced by the people he meets. From his initial arrival aboard the Calcutta to his life with the Aborigines, William Buckleys life stands as a compelling testimony to the human spirit and to our search for freedom and peace.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of Australian Federation in 1901, German immigrants constituted two per cent of the population of Victoria. This book examines how they settled, formed a communal infrastructure, and how they related to their Anglo-Celtic hosts. It is shown that their attempts to form a cohesive community failed, by investigating the role played by the Lutheran Church, German associations, community leaders, and the rift between rural and urban communities. The changing relationship between the British Empire, the German Reich and emerging Australian nationalism receives close attention. The book tests and then proves a hypothesis that rural communities were more resilient and better equipped to survive, while urban communities were not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of European settlement in the modern state of Victoria, Australia, spans developments from the first convict camp established in 1803 on the Bass Strait to the contemporary separation of the district from New South Wales. Aborigines, whalers, adventurers, squatters, speculators, and immigrants figure into this history of Victoria before the gold rush. The stories of such key leaders as John Baton and John Pascoe Fawkner offer insight into the founding of Melbourne, the economic depression and recovery of the 19th century, and the social progress of the 20th century. Details are drawn from primary sources including correspondence between officials in Melbourne, Sydney, and London and newspapers from Batman, Swanston, the Port Phillip Association, and La Trobe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many coastal areas around the world are experiencing dramatic landscape changes as a result of increased tourism development and the "sea change phenomenon" – the migration of affluent urbanites to small coastal towns seeking beautiful, natural surroundings. In response to these changes local residents in these places often complain that the distinctive character of their towns and/or individual neighborhoods is being lost or degraded. Coastal Towns in Transition looks at how changes due to unsympathetic development of the built environment and modification of the natural landscape are perceived to negatively impact on the character of small coastal towns. The book explores the concept of town character, and associated notions of sense of place, genius loci and place identity, as conceptualised by local residents in several coastal town communities along Australia’s Great Ocean Road. Findings of a four-year study involving over 1800 respondents from these communities are used to explore theoretical and methodological issues associated with the assessment of place character in the context of coastal towns that are experiencing rapid environmental change. This book will be of interest to planners and environmental designers, as well as scholars in both landscape studies and social science and planning fields who are interested in the sustainable development of coastal areas. The case studies and associated planning and design strategies, together with the bibliography of selected relevant literature, will provide an invaluable reference for these scholars.
