▼ The Tyennan Orogeny produced low to medium-grade metamorphic rocks distributed across the western third of Tasmania. Chemical U-Th-Pb monazite dating reveals that the peak episode of metamorphism took place in the Cambrian, with a weighted mean age for all units analysed of 505 ± 1 Ma. However, variations in the results by region range from ~ 511 to ~ 497 Ma. The pelitic schists of the Franklin Metamorphic Complex contain garnet porphyroblasts which record a rapid, nearly isothermal, pressure increase; the garnet cores formed at ~ 600o C, 6,000 bars and the rims at ~ 700o C, 14,000 bars at 511 ± 3 Ma. Likewise, the eclogite from the same region records a change from ~ 550o C, 6,250 bars to ~ 650o C, 19,000 bars. The whiteschist, which was obtained from the opposite side of a major local fault, formed garnet cores at ~ 545o C, 19,600 bars; its garnet rims and matrix minerals formed at 506 ± 5 Ma after an increase in temperature of at least 30-90o C. All of these units show evidence of very rapid isothermal exhumation. Other Franklin Metamorphic Complex fault blocks record P/T for peak conditions at ~ 570o C, 8,600 bars (Mt. Mary), and ~ 700o C, 11,400 bars (Raglan Range). The Forth Metamorphic Complex achieved peak metamorphism at 509 ± 7 Ma, at conditions of 670o C, 16,900 bars, and the nearby Settlers Schist gives results of 513 ± 8 Ma. The garnet porphyroblasts of the Port Davey Metamorphic Complex record a single episode of metamorphism which took place at 505 ± 2 Ma at ~ 550 to 570o C and ~ 6,000 bars during which a dehydration event resulted in both a change of garnet composition and texture. The regional geology indicates metamorphism predated post-collisional extension and associated eruption of the Mount Read volcanics at 506 to 500 Ma. Most of the monazite dating is consistent with this observation. However, the Mersey River Metamorphic Complex gives very consistent results of 497 ± 3 Ma. This is problematical, as it would have been at depth undergoing metamorphism after that extension took place. This could be the result of an unknown analytical problem, but the Mersey River monazite grains are indistinguishable chemically from monazite in the other units, and this sample has undergone repeated analysis. Alternatively, this sample reflects a different metamorphic event than that recorded in all other samples studied.

▼ The thesis explores the linked themes of place, power and social law in Tasmania's Central North during the colonial period. A solid attachment to place, usually through land ownership restricted to small elites, was a necessary precondition for meaningful engagement in social, economic and political decisionmaking; social law, which focussed on power relations in specific local places, worked to maintain this privileged relationship. This tripartite relationship, which constitutes an underlying organisational framework for the thesis, is explored in several contexts. In pre-invasion places, the control of tribal land, the practice of tribal law, and the conception of nature as an active participant in daily life empowered Aboriginal communities, encouraged individual participation in collective life, and promoted social cohesion both within and between social units. In colonial society, a solid attachment to place and hence full participation in the social process was the privilege of a select few. Social law legitimated a class structure of prosperous landlords, struggling tenant farmers and itinerant agricultural laborers. Conceiving nature as an aggregation of passive commodities, farmers and their workers induced radical transformation in ecological communities; social law was deployed in the hope of limiting the damage. From the late 1850s, local landed elites assumed formal political power in both local and central places. Most social law preserved elite interests, and a system of local authority policed emancipated farm labourers in the region's country towns. Aggrieved groups contested elite power in local places. Using the threat of force as their major weapon, Aborigines resisted an invasion characterised by the rule of men. Some convicts engaged in organised insubordination, and many emancipists asserted economic independence and social distinctiveness. Small farmers challenged the power of colonial parliament to deny them a tariff for wheat and reform of the 1874 Landlord and Tenant Act. Few, if any indigenous ecological communities survived intact, but nature demonstrated an ability for vigorous regeneration and accommodation of exotic flora and fauna, as well as a capacity to frustrate farmers' expectations of agricultural prosperity. Relations of power between the regional place and its political centre in Hobart were often strained, especially with regard to the eradication of noxious pests and diseases and police management, and did not always conform to recognisable class distinctions. Local concern derived from perceived violations of local authority and its attendant ideologies of individual liberty and the rights of property. By century's end a new generation of colonial politicians hostile to local authority had successfully promoted the rise of central authority and parliamentary democracy; in the wake of this shift, the influence of individual liberty and property rights as ruling ideologies waned. Social and political power was henceforth more widely…

▼ Cool-temperate rainforest occurs widely within south-west and western Tasmania, where it occurs interspersed with buttongrass moorlands. Rainforest is considered to be a climax vegetation, capable of regenerating in the absence of a major disturbance event, such as fire. Rainforest is also considered to be a fire sensitive community, as many rainforest species are incapable of surviving a fire event. Although fire in rainforest is rare, large rainforest fires have occurred in the past. These fire events are likely to increase with future climate change, which may result in a substantial loss of rainforest communities. It is important to understand the conditions under which fire will sustain and spread within rainforest as this will aid in protective measures, such as hazard-reduction burning, and the allocation of resources during a wildfire. In this study, I ask, under what conditions it would be likely that a fire would sustain and spread within rainforest. In order to do this the flammability and microclimate of a callidendrous rainforest, implicate rainforest and deciduous beech montane rainforest were characterised. The canopy structure and rainfall distribution of the callidendrous rainforest were also examined. There was very little difference in the flammability of live leaf and litter components between the three rainforest communities and adjacent fire tolerant communities, with the exception of the bark component from a Eucalyptus coccifera woodland. Callidendrous and implicate rainforests were cooler, more humid and less windy than adjacent open areas. There was very little difference in temperature and vapour pressure deficit between the deciduous beech forest and the adjacent open area. The distribution of rainfall within a callidendrous rainforest was found to be heterogeneous. Two millimetres of rain was required to saturate the rainforest canopy. On average, 20% of rainfall was intercepted. The Soil Dryness Index (SDI) is a tool used by fire managers to provide an indication of drought conditions and is also a component of the McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) in Tasmania. Many fire managers believe that the SDI does not perform effectively in south-west and western Tasmania. As a result, the performance of the SDI was looked at in this region, by examining the canopy intercept factor used to calculate rainforest and the relative performance of the SDI between mineral and organic soils. It was found that the canopy intercept factor designated for rainforest within the SDI performed well, and the SDI for rainforest could not be improved by using the canopy intercept rule determined for callidendrous rainforest earlier in this study. It was also found that there was no difference in the way the SDI performed between mineral and organic soils. It was therefore thought that the observed poor performance of the SDI in south-west and western Tasmania is likely to be the result of a poor representation of weather stations in a topographically complex environment. Twelve historical fires that…

▼ Aged care is one of the more controversial and problematic areas of healthcare in Australia in the 21st century. Whilst most people today accept that residential care is an essential service for those who can no longer cope on their own in the community, few people want to end up in a nursing home, and few nurses aspire to work there. But was this always the case? This diachronic study integrates archival research and oral history interviews to explore the history of aged care in one state of Australia, Tasmania. Tasmania began its white history as Van Diemen’s Land, a penal settlement on a remote island intended to be the ‘gaol for the entire British Empire’. The high number of convicts transported to the colony and the resulting large emancipist population, many of whom were both impoverished and without family to help them as they aged, meant that the colonial administration was forced to make official arrangements for their care from almost the first days of the state’s existence. These arrangements bore some similarities to those in other Australian states and in the mother country, but the peculiarities of life on the edge of civilization brought their own unique solutions in that century, and the next. This thesis follows the development of Tasmanian aged care from the early colonial charitable institutions, to the early 20th century period of ‘making do’, to the ennursement of aged care in the middle of that century, and finally to developments in the 1980s that led to today’s highly regulated and businesslike aged care sector. It illuminates the changes and continuities in conditions and practices within homes for the aged, and the shifting attitudes of Tasmanian society towards the elderly and those that cared for them. Official records paint an almost uniformly positive picture of aged care. In contrast, public opinion is almost equally negative. This study provides a more balanced story, in the hope that an understanding of the successes and failures of the past will provide some guidance for the future to assist our aging population in the 21st century.

▼ The Australian fauna has endured numerous extinctions and declines in recent history. In particular, Australian mammals have experienced disproportionately more extinctions than their overseas counterparts, with many other species now only persisting on offshore islands after disappearing from their former mainland habitats. Once widespread throughout south-eastern Australia, the eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is now considered extinct on the mainland, with the last confirmed sighting in Sydney in 1 963 . By contrast, eastern quoll populations in Tasmania were, until recently, presumed to be relatively stable and secure. However, spotlighting survey results suggest that the species may now be undergoing rapid and continuing decline. The aim of the current study was to further investigate this suspected decline, by measuring long-term changes in eastern quoll populations at a number of sites across Tasmania, and identifying factors that could have contributed to any observed population changes. Eastern quoll populations were surveyed using live capture and release at three study sites, with three replicate surveys performed at two-monthly intervals at each site. Results from the present study were compared with historical data from previous studies at these sites to gauge the extent of any local population changes. Significant reductions of >60% were observed in the number of quolls trapped at both Cradoc and Cradle Mountain, with no eastern quolls observed during any surveys at the Buckland study site. These declines appear to meet the criteria for listing the species as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. A range of morphometric data and biological samples was collected from captured eastern quolls to assist in identifying potential causes of decline. Population structure, body condition, reproductive output and the health and disease status of captured quolls were compared across sites and between years. Several significant trends were observed in areas such as the development and timing of key reproductive stages, changes in population demographics and shifts in coat-colour ratios. From the findings of this study, critical information gaps were identified and several hypotheses were formulated to guide the management of key threats, halt further reductions, and ideally reverse the recent declines in eastern quolls.

▼ The study here examines the performance of Tasmanian public primary schools over the period of 2000 to 2007. The three principal objectives of the study are (i) to investigate the effects of school resources on students‘ academic achievement; (ii) evaluate schools‘ technical efficiency; and (iii) to identify the factors that affect the schools‘ technical efficiency. To explore the first objective, an educational production function is estimated. The second and the third objectives are examined by employing two techniques, namely, Stochastic Production Frontier (SPF) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). On the basis of the estimation of a Fixed Effects model of a Tasmanian educational production function, a one per cent increase in educational expenditure per student is associated with an increase in the reading, writing and numeracy scores of 0.38%, 0.36% and 0.43%, ceteris paribus. Male students‘ performance was on average lower than female students. Evidence of relatively lower performance by indigenous students was found. Students‘ performance was also negatively affected by their level of absenteeism. Positive effects of parental education on Tasmanian students‘ academic achievement were found but the effects of parental occupation were not statistically significant. The SPF estimates suggest that Tasmanian public primary schools are almost technically efficient with the average technical efficiency score constant at 97% from 2003 to 2007. No technical efficiency change in the public primary educational sector in Tasmania over the period could be detected. The schools‘ technical inefficiency scores iii were positively associated with students‘ suspension rates. Mothers‘ occupational status had a significant negative effect on technical inefficiency. The average technical efficiency obtained under the DEA (assuming variable returns to scale) was constant at 95% over the study period (implying no technical efficiency change). On the basis of Tobit regression results, positive effects of parental occupation on technical efficiency were also found. The number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students; students who had English as a second language; the number of disability students; students‘ absenteeism rate and that a school was classified as rural all had a negative effect on technical efficiency. Urban schools were found to be more scale efficient than rural schools. Lower scale efficiency for rural schools was due to non-optimal school size (due to remote location and low population density). The efficiency rankings of schools based on the SPF and DEA methods vary due to (i) the different ways the SPF and DEA discriminate between schools in the construction of the production frontiers, and (ii) the different methodologies SPF and DEA apply to control for environmental factors.

▼ This studio-based research explores how painting can act as a vehicle for my reflections on the invasion and colonisation of Tasmania. The project brings together three fields of inquiry: the history of invasion and colonisation in Tasmania, contemporary politics, and the history and contemporary practice of painting. My research questions focus on exploring how aspects of each field touch and animate each other and how painting might delve into important problems of a complex, contested and violent history. Distinctively, this studio research responds to extensive reading of both primary sources such as the journals of George Robinson, and current perspectives on our contact history. The contemporary historical studies I reference include Lyndall Ryan’s The Aboriginal Tasmanians, Henry Reynolds' Fate of A Free People and A History of Tasmania, Patsy Cameron's Grease and Ochre, Graeme Calder’s Levee, Line and Martial Law, and James Boyce’s Van Diemen’s Land. In reflecting on the written record through drawing and painting in the studio, I discuss the potentials, limitations and implications of working from primary sources as compared with historical scholarship. The intersection of questions of history and painting demands my discussion of key examples of history painting: Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jacques-Louis David, Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet, Sidney Nolan, and Gordon Bennett. These artists each developed their own methods for vividly animating significant moral narratives from their milieus. Most importantly, the sorts of compositions, aesthetics, and processes they utilise reflect each artist’s relationship with their society and history. Given the evident impossibility of definitively recreating or depicting specific events from our past, I have developed a process for evoking the lived experiences of historic events while not depicting them in detail. I draw on TJ Clark’s work on discuss the principles of contingency, Raphael Rubenstein on provisionality in painting, and Michael Fried’s theories of absorption and embodiment as all having contributed significantly to my approach to the painting process. This exegesis tracks a period of sustained experimentation through which I develop a process contingent on a multiplicity of texts, my studio experiences, and my imagining of the events to develop a contemporary painting practice as an uncertain, open and honest engagement with the brutal realities of our past.

▼ Trophic cascades have been occurring at an increased rate due to the global decline of top predators. Top predators are important in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems through their top-down influence on prey species, both consumptive via predation which affects population vital rates and behavioural in response to the risk of predation. Predator presence and density is known to have strong influence on prey behaviour and demographics. Antipredator, or risk-sensitive, behaviours of prey individuals reflect their perceived level of threat in the environment. Behavioural responses in prey to changes in predator abundance, either declines or increases, can happen after a relatively short periods exposure (weeks or months). However, the expression of such behaviours will vary between species and individuals, depending on factors such as ecological niche, body-size and age. The flexibility of prey behaviour can therefore indicate the perceived level of risk, predator-induced or otherwise, in the environment. A rare opportunity to study the simultaneous effects of top predator decline and increase is afforded by the natural decline of the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) from a novel infectious disease across its distributional range in Tasmania, Australia, and an assisted translocation for conservation of the devil to an offshore island. Tasmanian devils have drastically declined in abundance in the past two decades due to the transmissible devil facial tumour disease, with some areas of the state reduced to only 5% of the original devil population. Devil decline has already begun to have an impact on the behaviour of prey species in the environment but is likely to cause greater effects to the ecosystem balance as the disease continues to spread across Tasmania. To provide a wild-living insurance population, in the event of extinction of the devil in the wild, a disease-free population of devils was introduced onto Maria Island, a historically devil-free island and National Park 5km off the east coast of Tasmania. To determine the influence of devil abundance on Tasmanian macropod antipredator behaviours, three types of antipredator behaviour were studied (vigilance behaviour, flight initiation distance and emergence time and distance from cover) following the loss and gain in abundance of devils. The three species studied, the Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), Bennett’s wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) and Forester kangaroo (Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis), are all susceptible to predation from Tasmanian devils, but due to species differences will express different levels of risk-sensitive behaviours. Macropod behaviours were compared at three sites with distinct devil abundances using both historic and novel data sets collected ‘before’ and ‘after’ changes in Tasmanian devil abundance. Top predator pressure proved to have little influence on the expression of antipredator behaviours in macropods. No universal changes were seen among all species in response to devil decline or increase over…

▼ An understanding of past sea level change in Tasmania is essential to understanding the contribution of Antarctic ice melt to the global oceans. Research into Holocene sea level history in Tasmania has been sporadic and conflicting. The primary goal of this research was to develop precise Holocene sea level index points (SLIPs) for Tasmania, south eastern Australia, achieved by: establishing the relationship between Tasmanian coastal salt marsh biogeomorphology and mean sea level; and locating and documenting palaeo-environments that contain a Holocene sea level signal of substantial duration. The northern hemisphere quantitative, base of basal salt marsh approach was combined with the Australian coastal geomorphic landform evolution approach to reconstruct Holocene sea level history. Pleistocene transgressive surfaces in micro tidal drowned river valleys in south eastern Tasmania provided a set of depth sequenced base of basal sea level index points. A full intertidal foraminifera based transfer function was calibrated with a sediment core to fill gaps in this sea level record. A contrasting coastal evolution sedimentary record in a meso tidal, open coast intertidal setting in north western Tasmania was examined by targeting an organically enriched sedimentary deposit underlying the modern salt marsh, that was inferred to be a drowned Holocene salt marsh facies. Tasmanian salt marshes are constrained to elevations relative to MSL within sites, but inundation period is a better predictor of marsh zonation than elevation. The greatest between site variation in inundation period occurs at marsh seaward edges that are limited to no more than 33% tidal inundation period per year. This regional variation in inundation period of the seaward edge limits the suitability of regional modern analogues for transfer function based sea level reconstructions. Sea levels were below present throughout the Holocene, with a mid-Holocene highstand absent. The slow rates of sea level rise after 6000 yr BP indicate continued melt water contribution from Antarctica after 6000 yr BP to the present. The open coast site in north western Tasmania did not yield a longer Holocene sea level history. The age of the putative marsh was from ~ 37 000 yr BP to ~ 26 000 yr BP. It was a preserved, semi indurated Pleistocene swamp deposit that occupied the swales between sand dune ridges through the latter stages of glacial advance, and just prior to the last glacial maximum, when aeolian processes dominated the landscape. Integrating the sea level reconstruction for Tasmania with the accepted geochronological framework for estuarine evolution added further detail on the geomorphic evolution of coastal landforms in south eastern Australia, particularly the prevalence of the transgressive sand sheet, now shown to be present in shallow marine environments outside of estuaries. Further research to better populate the early and late Holocene sea level curve for Tasmania should focus on locating the transgressive surface in shallow subtidal, and upper…

▼ This thesis examines the practices of botanical collectors in nineteenthcentury Van Diemen’s Land, their involvement in the Flora Tasmaniae and their contribution to broader scientific debates. When Joseph Hooker wrote his introductory essay on the Australian flora for Flora Tasmaniae in 1859, it was the first published case study supporting Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Much of Hooker’s evidence for his essay was based on plant material collected by self-trained resident naturalists of Van Diemen's Land, including Robert Lawrence, Ronald Gunn and William Archer. In recent years Darwin, Hooker and their contemporaries have been thoroughly examined, but as yet there has been little concentration upon the colonial collectors who contributed to their research. Instead of a centre-periphery study, this thesis provides a periphery-centre focus, exploring the role of the colonial naturalists, their contribution to the development of scientific knowledge, and the realities of operating as naturalists in the Antipodes. This thesis argues that resident colonial collectors in Van Diemen's Land made a significant contribution to botanical science during a time of taxonomic and classificatory flux. By using correspondence, journals, plant specimens and collecting notes this thesis examines one facet of a larger imperial movement. Analysis of these sources demonstrates the nuances of the colonial scientific experience, how knowledge was gained, how contacts and friendships were made and sustained, and what sort of work self-trained enthusiasts undertook. Numerous men and women contributed to a broad discussion on the native flora and fauna, including landed gentlemen, medical men, public servants and convicted criminals. As the Flora grew from their efforts, colonists questioned the source of power in the scientific world. This thesis discusses these changing tensions, and how those with a deeper local understanding balanced their colonial knowledge with the views of those in the metropole.

▼ Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has a considerable amount of genetic diversity for many agronomic and physiological traits. This diversity is highlighted through the considerable genotype by environment interaction influences on yield observed in Europe, North America, and the subtropical regions of Australia. There is a need to quantify the influence of genotype by environment interactions on yield and key physiological processes in the cool temperate dairy regions of Australia. This information will ensure that appropriate cultivars can be selected and best management practices developed so that lucerne can become a greater component of the dairy feedbase. Field experiments indentified that genotype by environment interactions occur in cool temperate regions, with winter dormant genotypes adapted to low yield potential environments, and winter active genotypes adapted to high yield potential environments. Irrigation was identified as a major management input determining genotype by environment interactions. The relative influence of each yield component was not affected by a genotype by environment interaction, and mass per shoot consistently had the greatest impact on yield accounting for up to 80% of the variability in yield. Cultivar influenced taproot sugar and starch concentrations only with irrigation. SARDI 10 (a highly-winter active cultivar) had lower taproot sugar concentration and SARDI 7 (a winter active cultivar) had lower taproot starch concentrations than the other cultivars. When not irrigated over summer, taproot soluble protein concentrations of Grasslands Kaituna (a semi-winter dormant cultivar) were greater than SARDI 10. All cultivars had a greater abundance of vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) in taproots and enhanced phenotypic and genetic expression of winter dormancy under dryland conditions. Glasshouse experiments revealed that increasing water deficits during regrowth decreased mass per shoot and shoots per plant. Water deficits of 75% or less of the replacement water requirement decreased total plant photosynthesis only through a reduction in leaf area and not by a decrease in either net carbon dioxide exchange rate or efficiency of photosystem II. Taproot starch concentration decreased and soluble sugar concentration increased with increasing water deficit. Plants receiving 25% of their water requirement accumulated soluble proteins seven days earlier than fully watered plants. Water deficits of 50% or less than the replacement water requirement also increased the abundance of VSPs, but VSP accumulation patterns and gene transcript levels were similar irrespective of drought treatment. With water deficit, the cold acclimation responsive gene CAR1 had a fivefold increase in expression in taproots of Grasslands Kaituna but not SARDI 10. These experiments have shown that in the cool temperate dairy regions of Australia, under dryland conditions, the more winter dormant cultivars should be grown, while if irrigation is available, winter active cultivars should be grown. In addition this…

▼ This study focussed on two components of the forest ecosystem at a small spatial scale: coarse woody debris (CWD), defined as fallen dead wood 10cm diameter and 1m length, and the macrofungal assemblages found on wood, soil and litter in native forest at different times of regeneration since the natural disturbance of wildfire. The CWD on the forest floor and standing dead wood (stags) in four 50x50m plots (=1ha total area) with differing wildfire histories in a Eucalyptus obliqua dominated native wet sclerophyll forest in southern Tasmania, Australia, were quantified and mapped. The CWD volumes obtained were amongst the highest in the world. Analyses showed that although a plot size of 0.25ha was too small to give an accurate measurement of volume, it was large enough to contain dead wood having attributes that reflected the stand structure resulting from wildfire disturbance. Therefore, a plot’s wildfire history can be deduced from the CWD and stags of a 0.25ha plot. The substrates wood (dead wood and standing trees), soil and litter in each plot were surveyed for macrofungal fruit bodies at approximately fortnightly intervals for 14 months. A total of 849 macrofungal species was recorded from 1ha of native forest. Wood supported 410 species of which 295 were on CWD but not exclusively, i.e. a few species were found on CWD and soil or on CWD and litter. The majority of the remaining species on wood was supported by ‘other dead wood’ (a category containing dead wood that did not fit into CWD), which contained many species not in common with those on CWD. It was concluded that macrofungal species richness on CWD is not affected by decay class; however, length or surface area explained between 45-48% of the variation in species richness. Of the 495 species found fruiting on soil, 330 were known to be ectomycorrhizal and 165 were considered decomposers. In addition, 146 species of macrofungi were associated with litter. It was found, using temperature and rainfall data, that the appearance of fruit bodies is seasonal but not directly attributable to rainfall events. There was a better correlation using the indigenous peoples’ concept of three seasons than when using the four European-based seasons. In essence, each plot contained a distinctive mycota, reflecting its chronosequence history, site characteristics (e.g. soil type, soil pH) or microclimate. To maintain the macrofungal diversity associated with the differing plots, a mosaic of multi-aged stands in the managed forest landscape is needed to provide inoculum for the reestablishment of macrofungal communities in forests at different times of regeneration. In addition, reserves should be as large as possible (at least 1ha) to encompass the variability (due to site characteristics, vegetation type, etc.) in the forest landscape and the associated macrofungal diversity as evidenced by the appearance of fruit bodies. This has particular implications for the silvicultural treatment of ARN (aggregated retention) where the…

▼ The major public reference libraries in the capital cities of Australia all maintain a ‘heritage’ role that is a central aspect of their function in their communities. All have acquired rich and extensive collections relating to the history and literature of their respective states and, in a number of cases, to the nation as a whole. However, this aspect of philosophy and practice has not always been part of the public library’s institutional goals. When the major public reference libraries were established in the Australian colonies in the second half of the nineteenth century, the acquisition of a ‘local archive’ reflecting local colonial history and culture was desultory or non-existent in most cases. This thesis is a cultural history of the growth of the ‘will to archive’ in the public library in Australia over the course of a century, focusing on the period from the 1850s to the 1940s. It addresses how, when, and why the Australian public library came to be a repository of the local and national past, as distinct from (but never replacing) its role as a purveyor of Enlightenment culture and learning. The evolution of this function is situated within a broader framework of emerging historical consciousness, the growth of civic nationalism related to the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901, changing attitudes to the production of history and the new value accorded to accurate historical records, and efforts to establish a ‘national’ creative literature. The thesis argues that the archiving mentality that emerged in the last decades of the nineteenth century, stimulated by the emerging interest in local history, became naturalised in the twentieth century through the forces of nationalism and patriotism. The evolution of this function was complex, influenced variously by factors such as the degree and type of cultural philanthropic activity, historical ‘amnesia’ toward the colonial convict past, and residual ‘cultural cringe’ toward Australian literary production. While addressing local archiving practices across all the major ‘state’ public libraries, the thesis focuses on the Tasmanian Public Library. While providing an overview of the development of the local archive in Tasmania over a century, the thesis examines in detail the agency of key figures such as trustee James Backhouse Walker and philanthropist William Walker, and the effect of the local penal past on the formation of the local archive, exemplified by the ‘life cycle’ of convict text The Hermit in Van Diemen’s Land by Henry Savery. This study emerges from the conviction that a close examination of the formation and stratification of library collections that symbolise and promote national identity contributes valuable information about emerging and changing ‘worldviews’ of communities, particularly the ways in which communities identify as members of a region and nation. Utilising the lens of public library philosophy and collections, the thesis offers a new way of reflecting on the formation of local and…

▼ This study fills a void in autecological research of D. antarctica by investigating the epiphytic relationships between the tree ferns and those vascular plant species which utilise its caudex. Research was based on hypotheses designed to explain aspects of the distribution of obligative epiphytes and the reliance of facultative epiphytes on D. antarctica caudices as well as why apogeotropic roots of terrestrially rooted specimens invade the tree fern‘s root mantle. Close to 1200 specimens of Soft Tree Fern (D. antarctica) were examined in 19 replicate field plots representative of temperate moist forests in north-eastern Tasmania. Dicksonia antarctica morphological and site floristics variables were recorded from each site. Selected parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were employed to analyse the relationships between and among the observed and recorded environmental, morphological, floristic, epiphytic and apogeotropic variables. Dicksonia antarctica frond plasticity was first examined because epiphytes are likely to be influenced both by site climatic conditions and by their host‘s architecture which in turn also influences microsite conditions. How frond size, frond frequency and frond shape change as D. antarctica grows older and taller was investigated using regression analysis. The inferred photosynthate store of D. antarctica was considered a critical determinant of emerging frond size and frequency. Frond size, frequency and shape were shown to vary with canopy closure, maximum temperature and site fertility. The relationships between caudex length and the size, frequency and shape of fronds are most likely indirect as a result of autocorrelation. The direct causal relationship is instead between the photosynthate store and frond size and frequency i.e. frond productivity. Two main epiphyte zones were identified on D. antarctica caudices (stems). These zones were largely delineated by surface microclimate, texture and substrate conditions. The first zone consists of the lower caudex nearest the ground and is dominated by obligate hygrophytic vascular epiphytes. The second zone is at the apex of the caudex, which is colonised by obligate epiphytes that can survive a drier more exposed microclimate compared to the lower caudex. In between the lower caudex and caudex apex zones is typically a length of caudex which is largely devoid of obligate epiphytes. Twenty-eight species of terrestrial flora were found to utilise large D. antarctica caudices as a regeneration substrate, providing strong evidence of the importance of D. antarctica caudices in maintaining floristic diversity in the closed-canopy wet forests of the region. Dicksonia antarctica caudices were identified as the dominant establishment substrate for Atherosperma moschatum, Pittosporum bicolor and Tasmannia lanceolata in these forests. Nothofagus cunninghamii can establish on all four substrates surveyed, provided there is sufficient insolation, but no single substrate dominates. Olearia argophylla seedlings were prolific across all…

▼ The influence of climatic variability on the European history of Tasmania has largely been neglected as a field of study. It is demonstrated here that severe weather events, such as drought, floods, storms, extreme cold and bushfires, have had a significant impact on that history. Drought affected farming operations, town water supplies, mining and industry, and later hydro-electric power generation. Floods and storms disrupted transport and communication networks and damaged property in towns and in the country. Bushfires also periodically wrought widespread property damage. An environmental history approach is employed to explore the dominant images and perceptions of Tasmania‟s climate, the impacts of severe weather events on the population, the responses made to them, and how these changed over time from 1803 to the 1960s. For ease of analysis, the thesis is divided into four periods of post settlement history: early European settlement from 1803 to the 1810s; the period of pastoral expansion from the 1820s to 1855; from self-government in 1856 to 1900; and from Federation in 1901 to the 1960s. Scrutiny of a range of primary and secondary source material, including official despatches, government department records, meteorological data, emigrant guides, scientific papers, newspaper accounts, farm diaries and private correspondence, published and unpublished works on the histories of towns or regions, industries, government agencies, land settlement policies and Tasmanian identity and promotion, resulted in new insights into the role played by severe weather events on Tasmanian history. The thesis also advances knowledge of these events and their impacts on Tasmanian society, economics and politics. From the first years of settlement Tasmania was widely promoted and regarded as an „Antipodean England‟ – relatively free of the harsh climatic extremes of mainland Australia. It is argued here that this image was both inaccurate and inappropriate – inaccurate because drought, floods, storms and bushfires are all part of the natural weather cycles of Tasmania and have, at times, severely affected the Tasmanian population; and inappropriate, because it downplayed the potential risks posed by climatic variability and contributed to a state of unpreparedness by government and the wider population. The thesis demonstrates that severe weather events have long affected Tasmanian history, that they occur within a wider environmental, cultural and societal context that influences their human consequences, and that the nature and severity of these impacts changed over time.

▼ Rivers are an integral part of the earth’s ecological, hydrological and physical systems, and also provide an indispensible range of services to humans. However, despite our strong dependence on rivers, human activities, and particularly the increased pressure on water resources, have resulted in a general degradation of river health world-wide. The long-term sustainability of many river systems is dependent on their successful management, and a key component of river management is to simply and meaningfully order streams into natural or arbitrary groups based on common characteristics. Such classification can assist in the management of rivers by increasing understanding of river form and process amongst the general complexity found in rivers. River classification has been central to developing an understanding of the links between hydrology, geomorphology and ecology and also allows knowledge from a particular river type at one location to be extrapolated to other locations of the same type, thus reducing resourcing requirements. Although possessing a relative abundance of water in comparison to many other regions, north-eastern Tasmanian faces pressures on water resources similar to those experienced elsewhere. In recent years, considerable effort has been directed towards achieving a balance between abstraction and environmental flows in north-eastern Tasmanian rivers, but this process has been complicated by the wide variety of riverine environments and channel and floodplain forms found in the region, and by the relatively few studies that have investigated the region’s geomorphology, hydrology, and ecology. Two approaches to classification have been adopted in the management of Tasmanian rivers. A nested hierarchical river classification system has been developed for Tasmania, and has formed the basis of a comprehensive river health assessment methodology. However this approach is relatively resource intensive, requiring data to be collected and expert analysis to be applied at different scales. In addition the large number of groups (river types) that this model produces means that developing relationships between flow alteration and physical and ecological response for each river type is impractical. A second approach has been the development of a broad two-classed model that classifies rivers on the basis of hydrological variability. Although this is an objective and quantitative model requiring few resources, the wide variety of river types included within each of the two classes mean that only the most generalised models linking hydrology, geomorphology and ecology can be developed. While each of these classification systems could be considered to fulfil the purpose for which they were designed, the lack of a simple and objective method to classify rivers into a reasonable number of meaningful classes on the basis of channel morphology has limited the development of predictive ecosystem models to link the physical and ecological responses of north-eastern Tasmanian rivers to altered flows. The aim of…

▼ Reforming local government in Tasmania has a varied history of success since its introduction in the early nineteenth century. Failures to meet State government desired economic, environmental and social policy changes have created poor perceptions of local government capacity and generated continual demands for institutional reform such as amalgamation. Large scale boundary reforms have a varied history of resistance and success with explanations for this focused on institutional responses. This thesis reverses the policy gaze by looking at the ideas and beliefs that people bring to their local government practice. Drawing on the body of interpretive theory work of Bevir and Rhodes, a qualitative approach looks for evidence of ideas and beliefs that have persisted over time and which people bring to local government practice. It analyses historical and policy materials to derive sets of beliefs and ideas (as “traditions”) which have persisted over time in informing practice and the reaction of people to challenges (“dilemmas”). Three traditions (localism, voluntarism, representation) are proposed from English local government practice over its long history. Analysis of historical and policy materials since colonisation concludes the ideas and beliefs people bought to Tasmania were largely located in the period prior to the second English 19th century period of municipal reform. Tasmania’s geography and its social and economic (largely agricultural) history contributed to the longevity of pre-secondary period English traditions and practices. Some ideas and beliefs are persistent today however others are now in decline at varying rates across existing municipal areas. By providing a groundbreaking understanding and analysis of Tasmania’s local government this thesis argues the need for understanding the ideas and beliefs that still drive local government practice today in any reform process. It provides fertile ground for further research using this approach.

▼ Determining the biotic and abiotic influences on the distribution and abundance of marine mammals is essential for understanding the dynamics of the food chain. The predator-prey relationship can be deterministic in shaping both the community structure and function of marine ecosystems. This is especially pertinent to recovering toothed whale populations given their large size and high prey consumption rates. A greater knowledge of the trophic linkages between toothed whales and their prey will facilitate assessments of their combined impact on the ecosystem since marine food webs are a fusion of bottom-up and top-down energy and nutrient flow. This is of particular interest for regions that have recovering whale populations and varying climactic changes, such as Australia. Whales and dolphins strand in all Australian coastal areas. However, it is the southern states, of which Tasmania is a particular hotspot, that experience frequent strandings. In the previous two decades there has been in excess of 70 mass strandings. Two of the most common species to strand are long-finned pilot whales Globicephala melas edwardii and sperm whales Physeter macrocephalus. Until 2010, there had been 3974 of these two species that had stranded around Tasmania, 87% of which were long finned pilot whales and 13% were sperm whales (parks.tas.gov.au). Despite the frequent stranding of these toothed whales there is a paucity of trophic information for these species from the Tasmanian region. Similarly, comparatively little is known of the trophic dynamics of oceanic cephalopods which are considered a major prey of many toothed whales in this part of the world. This study used stable isotope analysis to quantify the diet and trophic relationship between toothed whales and cephalopods in regions surrounding Tasmania. Carbon (δ(¹³)C) and nitrogen (δ(¹⁵)N) isotopic analysis was conducted on cephalopods that were captured incidentally by commercial fisherman to provide a baseline with which to compare isotopic values of cephalopod prey from predator’s stomachs. Isotopic values indicated that the cephalopod community was inclusive of 3 distinct trophic levels (6.7 ± 1.1 ‰ (Moroteuthis ingens) to 12.0 ± 0.5 ‰ (Idioteuthis cordiformis), ranging from lower trophic crustacean feeders to higher trophic fish feeders. Some cephalopod species provided evidence of resource partitioning while other species indicated a dietary shift from lower to higher trophic levels as they matured. Furthermore, cephalopods occupy a range of trophic levels and are therefore important vectors in transferring energy up the food chain, particularly to toothed whales. Intrinsic factors such as age, sex or lactation status exhibited little variation on skin δ(¹³)C and δ(¹⁵)N values of long-finned pilot whales from 3 stranding events off the coast of Tasmania. Nevertheless, small variations due to stranding events were evident. The δ(¹³)C and δ(¹⁵)N values suggested that some adult pilot whales may have a more demersal or shelf foraging…

▼ It is claimed that small islands fall prey to powerful forces that transform place and life, creating major political, economic, social and environmental challenges simultaneously global and local in their reach and impact. This research examines whether, how and to what extent modes of governing fail or succeed to support such challenges of change. A qualitative work positioned between island studies and cultural geography, it fuses notions of island, place and governance in a case study that examines how members of a small island population dealt with global-local change. The setting was King Island, remote dependant of Australian island state Tasmania. Three methods were used: community observation by the researcher, analysis of primary and secondary documentary evidence, and the interpretation of three rounds of interviews conducted with King Islanders over six months. Data were first categorised, described and analysed in terms of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats or challenges that islanders perceived in relation to quality of life. Second, four challenges of chief significance to participants were examined in depth: governance, population, land use and tenure, and climate. Hermeneutic analysis of these four cases points to both failures and successes to manage global-local change in the short term, which participants explained in terms of particular mindsets in King Island contoured by local (island) place, and tensions over relational place with two powerful sovereign governments. Examples of the potential of governance—dealt with in depth in the final discussion—suggest that both failures and successes of various kinds and intensities are possible in small island systems. Such insights stand as conclusive and object lessons in two ways. First, what appears to be governing failure can lead to change and opportunity for growth in governing capacity and outcomes for the common good. Second, occupants of small islands can indeed find ways to manage their global-local challenges.

▼ In the past thirty or so years, an increasing number of organisations have formed business-to-business relationships as an alternative to traditional market exchange. Much of the literature in this area focuses on the nature of dyadic relationships or vertical networks between heterogeneous businesses in a supply chain. Far less research has examined how competitors interact at a network level, and, more specifically, why these organisations would choose to engage in collaborative marketing. This thesis examines the nature of horizontal networks and collaborative marketing in the context of the Tasmanian wine industry. It uses network theory to explore the phenomena of inter-producer relationships within a specific wine region of Australia. The research is guided by the following questions: why do Tasmanian wine producers join horizontal networks, what types of collaborative marketing do Tasmanian wine producers engage in within horizontal networks, and what factors affect collaborative marketing between Tasmanian wine producers in horizontal networks. Qualitative data were gathered via in-depth interviews with firstly, industry informants, and secondly, individual wine producing businesses. These data were supplemented with information drawn from websites, industry publications, and news sources. A key aim of the study was to explore how horizontal networks are perceived by Tasmanian wine producers, and to what extent these businesses engage in collaborative marketing. Analysis of the data revealed that there are three horizontal networks within the Tasmanian wine industry, which are all of a formal nature. While these networks share a similar purpose, there was divergence between how successful each network‟s attempts at collaborative marketing had been. Furthermore, certain horizontal networks in the industry boasted higher levels of member trust, commitment, mutual benefit, and camaraderie. These factors have led to differences in the way each network is perceived, and the benefits of collaboration each offers. Parallels between Tasmania‟s only state-wide industry association and the state‟s largest sub-regional network, have resulted in some conflict and rivalry which, going forward, may restrict the implementation of collaborative marketing at a state-wide level.

▼ This thesis argues that in the midst of an unfolding ecological disaster contemporary Australian authors and filmmakers are eschewing stereotypical Gothic and Romantic depictions of Tasmania’s wilderness, and instead, are repositioning the nonhuman—the environment and wildlife—as more threatened than threatening. Emerging from colonial discourse Tasmania’s particular aesthetic heritage developed around a series of double visions involving the representation (or absence) of Aborigines in the landscape. Ian McLean captures this tension in the concept of the “fractured aesthetic,” which provides a point of departure for my analysis. I adapt and apply the fractured aesthetic through my ecocritical readings of eight contemporary fictional texts, all set in the Tasmanian wilderness. In contrast to McLean I focus on the representation (or absence) of anthropogenic degradation, resulting from exploitation of the island’s natural resources. Ultimately, representations of human/nonhuman kinship, rather than intra-human relationships of power direct my textual analysis. To this end, and drawing on the work of Lawrence Buell, Kate Rigby, Serenella Iovino, Greg Garrard, Richard Kerridge, Emily Potter, and other leading scholars of ecocriticism, I synthesise posthumanist ideas of shared materiality that engage recent theories of kinship, entanglement, nonhuman agency, affective narration and ideas of hope through environmental prophecy. Tasmania’s rich literary and environmental history is apparent in the body of work analysed. The selected texts are: The Tale of Ruby Rose (1987), a film directed by Roger Scholes; Death of a River Guide (1994) and The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997), both written by Richard Flanagan; The Hunter (1999) novel by Julia Leigh and the film adaptation, The Hunter (2011), directed by Daniel Nettheim; The World Beneath (2009), by Cate Kennedy; The River Wife (2009), by Heather Rose and The Blue Cathedral (2011) by Cameron Hindrum. Ecocriticism of these novels and films remains scarce and I address this gap by exploring ways in which these texts represent nonhuman agency while also acknowledging the sense of shared materiality at the core of human/nonhuman kinship. After a contextual discussion of wilderness ideology generally, and Tasmanian wilderness representation particularly, I explore the lingering “Tasmanian Gothic” aesthetic which depicts the environment as threatening, as enemy and/or “monster.” The textual analysis demonstrates a shift in consciousness apparent in residual Romantic aesthetics, reworked to include ecocritical perspectives on the sublime and nonhuman agency. Genre is examined, through the power of fairy tale and magic realism, to represent unfolding environmental disasters, and also through satire, to represent the ethical ambiguities of “showcasing” wilderness. In addition, I explore how co-presence between human and nonhuman communities can become toxic co-dependence. The ethical implications of dystopian and/or more optimistic representations of extinction, loss of…

▼ This thesis identifies and describes a major discursive discontinuity in public housing policy in Tasmania, Australia. It contributes to literature on the formation, practice and consequences of public housing policy in Australia. The consensus in this literature is that, in the 1970s, emerging neoliberal modes of practice shaped a series of policy reforms which have produced significant problems with the sustainability, effectiveness and reputation of public housing. My findings challenge this analysis. From the mid-1940s, state housing authorities built large housing estates so as to enable home ownership by working class families. More recently, policy-makers have pursued reforms reducing public housing to a remnant of semi-crisis provision for people with complex needs while simultaneously fostering capacity, supply and innovation through community housing. These reforms are associated with growing, generalised hostility towards public housing. In this thesis, I ask how this hostility has been able to emerge and evolve. I have addressed this question by applying Foucauldian ‘archaeology’ to the archive of the Tasmanian Housing Department. This approach reconceptualises historical ‘facts’ as raw material organised according to systems of discursive ‘rules’ into formations that produce knowledge. I found that the difference between past and present knowledge about public housing in Tasmania is the manifestation of a significant discontinuity, tentatively dated to the late 1970s and early 1980s and constituted by six significant shifts in discursive practice. The resulting re-ordering of discursive material has produced the knowledge that public housing is a form of welfare directed at dysfunctional subjects. I argue that this discontinuity was produced, not by ‘neoliberalism’, but by a more fundamental reconfiguration in the order of discourse, one which replaced a system of discursive organisation in which subjects are constituted according to their material surroundings with one in which everything is ordered in relation to the individual. My findings problematise the relationship between current policy and neoliberalism by demonstrating the complexity of the discursive field perpetuating it. I have contributed both an original account of localised policy change with resonance for the wider Australian housing system and a worked example of how archaeology can explicate the discursive scaffolding of what we know about the world we live in.

▼ This thesis examines the enlistment and contribution of Tasmanian Aboriginal soldiers to the first Australian Imperial Force. It also considers how they were treated both in the front line, and on their return to Australia. On 20 October 2014, Tasmanians will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the departure from Hobart of the troopships Geelong and Katuna. On board the Geelong as a young sergeant allotted to the 12th Battalion was Alfred Hearps, a nineteen year old clerk from Queenstown. Young ‘Jack’ (as he was known to his family) would be the first of 74 Tasmanian Aborigines to volunteer for service with the first Australian Imperial Force. Men came from all walks of life and from all over Tasmania to enlist when the recruiting offices opened in mid-August 1914. Over the four years that the war was prosecuted, 18 men from the small island community of Cape Barren Island would volunteer. Seventeen of these men were Straitsmen, the descendants of the sealers who settled on the Bass Strait islands with the Aboriginal women they took as ‘wives’ and with whom they raised children. A further thirteen Aboriginal men from nearby Flinders Island would also enlist along with eight grandchildren of Fanny Cochrane Smith. A total of 34 descendants of Dalrymple Briggs would also enlist – most, with the exception of three, coming from Aboriginal communities in the north and north-west of Tasmania. Four men from Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, were also included in this thesis, as they were the descendants of Betty Thomas, a Tasmanian woman who was probably taken there by sealers. The number of Aborigines who managed to enlist is not great, perhaps 800 to 1,000 across Australia: nevertheless, they made a significant contribution to Australia’s war effort. It is only in recent years that this contribution has been fully recognised, and that there has been a concerted effort to write them back into the Anzac legend. Dawes, Robson and White have all examined what drove men to enlist in the first Australian Imperial Force: but with very little evidence of any kind, it has been much harder for historians to suggest why Aborigines, who were essentially barred from enlisting (under Section 61 (h) of the Defence Act of 1903) would volunteer to fight for a country that had pushed them to the margins of society. While the founding fathers wanted a ‘white army’ for a White Australia following Federation, in actual fact the first Australian Imperial Force was ethnically diverse in its make-up. Tasmanian Aborigines, in particular, are conspicuous by their very absence from the literature. Timothy Winegard was only able to add a now outdated figure at the last minute before his book on the contribution of Indigenous peoples from the British Dominions went to print in 2012. This thesis writes the contribution of Tasmania’s Aboriginal soldiers back into the historical record to stand alongside the accounts emerging from other Australian states and territories. It would appear that the Tasmanian Aboriginal men had little…
