The Camfields : "The Comforts Of Civilisation" In Early Colonial Western Australia, Joan Groves
The Camfields : "The Comforts Of Civilisation" In Early Colonial Western Australia, Joan Groves
Theses : Honours
This thesis explores and examines in some detail the lives of a little known Anglican missionary couple in early colonial Western Australia. Henry Camfield and Anne Breeze came to the Swan River colony separately: Henry as farmer-settler and Anne Breeze as governess. They married, moved in the higher echelons of Perth society and later went to Albany where Henry took up the position of Government Resident. Subsequently they both became involved in raising and "Christianising" Aboriginal children in an institution known as Annesfield. While some prominence has been given to a well-known pupil of that institution, Bessie Flower (later Cameron), …

Theses : Honours
This story is about a man named John Forrest, my great-great-great uncle. I want to Investigate how he shaped and enacted upon the space we now call the State of Western Australia: as explorer, as surveyor, and as Premier. The photographs in my thesis explore how he impacted upon the landscape that we currently observe: they illustrate ways in which his past influence can be detected in the landmarks of our state, and they act as evidence of the “bigger picture”, demonstrating the effects his influence has had on the present condition of the land itself. Forrest helped construct many …

Mapping The Land : Spatial, Social And Sacred Relationships Of Australian Indigenous People To Land, Marianne Best
Mapping The Land : Spatial, Social And Sacred Relationships Of Australian Indigenous People To Land, Marianne Best
Theses : Honours
The people who claimed the great southern continent came from Britain, which was experiencing the industrial revolution, the Enlightenment, a new sense of nationalism and a drive to colonise. Australia was regarded as an uninhabited land. Colonisation brought with it a European form of ownership of land and a way of mapping the landscape on paper with finite borders for administrative purposes. Meanwhile Indigenous people had lived on the Australian continent for over 55 000 years. These lndigenous Australians had a way of life, which was completely different from the Western colonisers. They were very successful hunter-gatherers with complex beliefs …

The theoretical ideas of Munn on the ownership of designs, and of Morphy and Keen pertaining to the "economy of knowledge" provides an approach for considering the topic. The archival work for the writing of this thesis was conducted in a short visit to the archives of Australia Post. The research showed the practices of Australia Post with regard to using …
Convict Teachers And The Children Of Western Australia, 1850-1890, Shirley M. Leahy
Convict Teachers And The Children Of Western Australia, 1850-1890, Shirley M. Leahy
Theses : Honours
This dissertation aims to examine the relationship between convict schoolmasters and the children of Swan River Colony over the 40 year period from 1850 to 1890, Fearing detrimental effects on the lives of their children, the majority of colonists believed that importation of convict labourers threatened the well-being of the younger generation morally, physically, and intellectually. These fears, based on popular perception of the convict as a perpetrator of evil, were further influenced by a voluble media. Published articles and letters to the newspapers called for government protection for settlers and their families from convict depredations. Public apprehension deepened with …

The 1697-1827 time frame of the study, covers all the documented pre-colonial European visits to the fishery environs and also incorporates the first decade of the British colonisation process at the Swan River, which can be said to have …
