This unique book examines the vital and contested connections between colonialism and tourism, which are as lively and charged today as ever before. Demonstrating how much of the marketing of these destinations represents the constant renewal of colonialism in the tourism business, this book illustrates how actors in the worldwide tourism industry continue to benefit from the colonial roots of globalisation. This interdisciplinary book focuses on the relationships between tourism, colonialism and place, in both historical and contemporary periods. Chapters explore cases of tourism and colonialism in locations across the globe, from colonial Korea and French Indochina, to colonial Australia, U.S Tourism in the British West Indies, heritage tourism in Mozambique, and city branding in Dunedin. Expert contributors analyse the motivations and impacts of colonial tourism, investigating such diverse topics as the Chinese tourist rush to Taiwan, issues of displacement at wildlife sites in Zimbabwe, the impact of tourism on Indigenous peoples in Hawaii and the pursuit of Macanese identity and re-colonisation. Excavating the range and diversity of colonialism at work in tourism across a wide variety of global destinations, Colonialism, Tourism and Place will be an illuminating read for students and scholars interested in tourism and development, heritage studies, and social, cultural and human geography.

Groundwater is an increasingly important resource to human populations around the world, and the study and protection of groundwater is an essential part of hydrogeology - the subset of hydrology that concentrates on the subsurface. Environmental isotopes, naturally occurring nuclides in water and solutes, have become fundamental tools for tracing the recharge, history, and contamination of groundwater.

Recently when looking through nineteenth century travel accounts of visitors to Victoria, Australia, that are in my personal library, I was struck by the number of published accounts from visitors who spent time in Ballarat. In assembling 126 discrete accounts from visitors spanning its first fifty years (1851 until 1901), I realised that here was a largely untapped resource. In assembling this archive of published visitor accounts, I have sought to extract their impressions of Ballarat and its immediate surrounds, including Buninyong, which is now part of the City of Ballarat. I have arranged the sources in alphabetical order within each decade, and where necessary I have provided each account with a brief contextual introduction. I have deliberately chosen to reproduce only published material. This archive is a trove of material that is rich and rewarding for many uses and users - for those looking to understand the evolution of a city from an Indigenous landscape and the contribution of gold mining to this development, the resource is indeed a rich quarry. The views presented here are from men and women, from clergymen, from British, Irish, Indian, American, Canadian, French, German, Hungarian, and other natonalities, from members of royal families, politicians, authors, journalists and other people with an interest in seeing this city that had sprung from gold. From the perspective of the evolution of tourism in Ballarat, these sources provide unparalleled glimpses of the transformation of a swamp into Lake Wendouree, muddy tracks transformed into wide and impressive streets, and botanical gardens and statuary that never failed to impress visitors. We see Ballarat transformed from a crude gold mining town into a grand regional city. A fundamental rationale for many visitors to Ballarat was the attraction of gold mining, and the opportunity to don work clothes and go down into the mines to see them in operation. This is Volume One spanning the years from 1851 to 1861.

This is an anthology of visitor accounts and reminiscences of Ballarat from 1851 to 1901. It is a trove of material that is rich and rewarding for those looking to understand the evolution of a city from an Indigenous landscape and the contribution of gold mining to this development. The views presented here are from men and women, from clergymen, members of royal families, politicians, authors, journalists, actors, accountants, naturalists, a Viennese violinist, and other people with an interest in seeing this city that had sprung from gold. Many nationalities are represented, including English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Indian, American, Canadian, French, German, and Hungarian. This is Volume Two spanning the years from 1861 to 1861.

This is a family history and genealogy of Leonard Clark and Sarah Bowtell from Barley, Hertfordshire, who sailed to Victoria, Australia, in early 1854. They eventually settled in the Ararat district and are among its earliest pioneers. This tells the story of their eleven children and presents the results of genealogical research up until 1996.

The journals and papers of George Augustus Robinson (1788-1866), the Chief Protector of Aborigines of Port Phillip from 1839 to early 1850, are a rich source of historical and ethnohistorical information. His voluminous private papers and journals were acquired by the Mitchell Library in New South Wales in 1939 from the estate of his son Arthur P. Robinson of Bath, England. The papers did not arrive in Sydney until 1949, their departure from England being delayed by their possible destruction in transit during the second world war. N.J.B. Plomley (1966, 1987) has published the journals that relate to Robinson's period in Tasmania (1829-1838), and Ian D. Clark (2000, 2014) has published the journals that concern Victoria (1839-1852). This volume is the second volume in a series that will publish the Papers of GA Robinson that concern Port Phillip/Victoria. These will include Letterbooks (1839-1848), Correspondence (1839-1852), Official Reports (1841-49); Aboriginal Vocabularies (1839-1852); and Miscellanea. Volume One, the Chief Protector's Office Journal (1839-1850), has already been published. This present volume is Volume Two: Aboriginal Vocabularies, Southeast Australia, 1839 - 1852. The entries in this volume have been collated from one volume of Robinson's Papers (Vol. 65, Aboriginal Vocabularies: South East Australia, 1839 - 1852). Robinson's collection of Aboriginal vocabularies from south-eastern Australia is perhaps the largest source of information on the languages of the area that we have, certainly it is the most varied. It covers practically every area of Victoria as well as some adjacent areas of South Australia and New South Wales. Indigenous people seeking to reclaim their languages and linguists working on these languages will now have for the first time easy access to the complete collection faithfully transcribed by Ian Clark.

George Augustus Robinson, the Chief Protector, of the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate was an inveterate traveler. He spent a total of three years travelling throughout south-eastern Australia between 1839 and 1852, making him the most traveled public official in early Victoria. This special edition extracts from Robinson's journals every account of every journey he made out of Melbourne during his stay in Victoria. They provide many insights into early colonial society in the Port Phillip District - especially of the Aboriginal people of southern Australia.

George Augustus Robinson arrived in Melbourne in late February 1839 to take up his position as Chief Protector in the Aboriginal Protectorate in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales. In late 1849, the government decided to abolish the Protectorate Department, and accordingly in March 1850 the department ceased to exist. This special volume publishes in one single volume four previously published volumes of his papers: PART ONE: publishes the Office Journal of the Chief Protector's Office, and with few exceptions, the entries were made by Robinson's personal clerks. Entries by all clerks, bar McGill and Dallimore, have survived, and are here published. PART TWO: publishes Robinson's Aboriginal Vocabularies - which is a collection of Robinson's field notes and Aboriginal vocabularies from south east Australia collected from 1839 until 1852. These notes complement Robinson's private journals. PART THREE: Miscellanea which is a collection of Aboriginal vocabularies, sketches, and other oddments. PART FOUR: Annual and Occasional Reports, 1841-49 is a collection of Official Reports from the Chief Protector. APPENDIX: Database of European and Aboriginal staff employed by the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate, 1839-1853

Academic Reform explores ways to sharpen the universities' focus on undergraduate teaching and increase the number of students without diminishing Ontario's ability to attract and retain university researchers of the highest calibre.

Provides an insight into the environmental knowledge of Indigenous Australians. Indigenous Australians have long understood sustainable hunting and harvesting, seasonal changes in flora and fauna, predator-prey relationships and imbalances, and seasonal fire management. Yet the extent of their knowledge and expertise has been largely unknown and underappreciated by non-Aboriginal colonists, especially in the south-east of Australia where Aboriginal culture was severely fractured. Aboriginal Biocultural Knowledge in South-eastern Australia is the first book to examine historical records from early colonists who interacted with south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of their material world. This book provides a compelling case for the importance of understanding Indigenous knowledge, to inform discussions around climate change, biodiversity, resource management, health and education. It will be a valuable reference for natural resource management agencies, academics in Indigenous studies and anyone interested in Aboriginal culture and knowledge.
