Making of Modern Vernacular Architecture in Aboriginal Australia
The Dugalunji Camp in Northern Australia is a sedentary village for a core group of Aboriginal ‘traditional owners’ with a seasonal work population and a total maximum accommodated population of 80 persons. It is a residential base from which regional enterprise services are provided to the Aboriginal community. It also conducts pre-vocational training for young Aboriginal adults. Architecture of the camp involves a combination of Aboriginal soci…
Housing Initiatives to Address Strep A Infections and Reduce RHD Risks in Remote Indigenous Communities in Australia
Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) skin infections (impetigo) can contribute to the development of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This is of particular concern for Indigenous residents of remote communities, where rates of ARF and RHD are much higher than their urban and non-Indigenous counterparts. There are three main potential Strep A transmission pathways: skin to skin, surface to skin, and transmission through th…
Fractal politics and diplomacy
Through a discussion of the overall patterning of religion and law, and using examples from Central Australia and Southeast Queensland, this response to the inaugural Coral Bell School lecture on Indigenous Diplomacy by Mary Graham and Morgan Brigg shows how Aboriginal people developed a system of embedded, detailed, and comprehensive fractal politics and diplomacy. The descriptor 'fractal' is used as it is particularly apt for explaining the lon…
Cross-cultural Design and Healthcare Waiting Rooms for Indigenous People in Regional Australia
The theory of supportive design influences healthcare facility design but is under-researched for different cultural groups. This mixed-methods study compared two Indigenous sample populations in Australia to examine the effect of the physical environment in public hospitals and clinics on Indigenous people’s perceptions and experiences of waiting for care. Quantitative survey data ( n = 602) measured perceptions of relevant design attributes usi…
The Re-Invention of the Goori Cultural Landscape
Cet article analyse la carte, tracée par les auteurs et les auteures, de la géographie aborigène de St Lucia et de Long Pocket, deux banlieues riveraines de Brisbane, en amont du quartier central des affaires, où sont situés deux campus de l’Université du Queensland. La carte sert de prisme à l’observation plus générale de la société aborigène des Goori au début du 19e siècle. Elle a été produite par deux chercheurs aborigènes et un anthropologue…
Aboriginal social housing in remote Australia
Sufficient, well-maintained housing infrastructure can support healthy living practices for hygiene, safety and nutrition. This article focuses on the relationship between housing and health through a case study in the remote Barkly region in the Northern Territory, Australia. A research partnership between Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation and academic researchers employed a mixed methodological approach, involving interviews with residen…
A Man of the ‘Wild’ Queensland Frontier
This biographical study concerns a Kaurareg man named Gida (c.1849–1899), who resided on Muralag (Prince of Wales Island), in Torres Strait in the late nineteenth century. It is part of a larger research project on the so-called ‘Meston’s Wild Australia’ or ‘Wild Australia Show’ of 1892–93 which was conceived by Queensland entrepreneur Archibald Meston. Meston conscripted a travelling troupe of Aboriginal people from the Queensland frontier whom …
We’re the same as the Inuit
Gununa peacemaking
Informal conflict management implicitly claims to value cultural difference and to be able to mediate relations between cultural minorities and states. This article considers this claim in challenging circumstances borne of settler-colonialism by examining the cultural politics of the establishment of a conflict resolution programme in an Australian Aboriginal community. In addition to settler-colonial maligning of Aboriginal capacities to manage…
Architectural anthropology
Architectural anthropology considers the inseparable relationships between people, culture, and the built environment. Drawing on social and cultural anthropology and environment-behaviour studies in architecture, architectural anthropology not only seeks to produce theoretical outcomes, but also applied research findings to assist people to evolve, adapt, and change (or resist change) in their environments. This chapter argues that a transaction…
Staged savagery
Queensland's 1897 legislation that was to regulate its Indigenous people for almost a century, and also as its Southern Protector of Aborigines from 1898 to 1904. Meston's contribution as a policymaker and Protector has received much scholarly attention, 2 however, his activities as a showman -that is, in exhibiting live Indigenous people and himself joining in the performances -are not so well known and have been documented only sporadically. 3 …
Lardil properties of place
This study commences with a discussion on the nature of 'place' making reference to the limited scientific literature on the subject (Chapter 1). An initial model of place is established, being the association of a piece of environment with human behaviour, concepts and artifacts, as well as involving such properties as boundary definitions, rules controlling access and time of use, systems of naming and classification, and psychological complexe…
Late Holocene Changes in Shellfishing Behaviors From the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Australia
Dramatic changes in shellfishing behaviors occur across northern Australia during the late Holocene, marked most conspicuously by the cessation of large shell mound construction in some areas, and the reorganization of shellfishing behaviors towards more intensive production in the last 1,000 years. Excavations reveal rapid and widespread changes within coastal sites, an increasing diversification in overall subsistence resources, and patterns of…

Radiocarbon and linguistic dates for occupation of the South Wellesley Islands, Northern Australia
Radiocarbon dates from three Kaiadilt Aboriginal sites on the South Wellesley Islands, southern Gulf of Carpentaria, demonstrate occupation dating to c. 1600 years ago. These results are at odds with published linguistic models for colonisation of the South Wellesley archipelago suggesting initial occupation in the last 1000 years, but are consonant with archaeological evidence for post‐4200 BP occupation of islands across northern Australia, par…
