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.
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.

Bibliography
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
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 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.
