Mixed-Methods Evaluation of the HealthyWEY E-Learning Toolkit for Promoting Healthy Weight in the Early Years
Despite being well-positioned to promote healthy lifestyles in young children, early years practitioners often face barriers to supporting child weight management. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the preliminary effectiveness and acceptability of an e-learning toolkit (HealthyWEY) designed to upskill and support multi-agency professionals to promote healthy weight in early childhood. A total of 54 health visitors/community nursery nurses…

Aboriginal Protection and Its Intermediaries in Britain’s Antipodean Colonies
This collection brings together world-leading and emerging scholars to explore how the concept of "protection" was applied to Indigenous peoples of Britain’s antipodean colonies. Tracing evolutions in protection from the 1830s until the end of the nineteenth century, the contributors map the changes and continuities that marked it as an inherently ambivalent mode of colonial practice. In doing so, they consider the place of different historical a…
A Shield Loaded with History
This article discusses an Aboriginal shield in the British Museum which is widely believed to have been used in the first encounter between Lieutenant James Cook's expedition and the Gweagal people at Botany Bay in late April 1770. It traces the ways in which the shield became ‘Cook-related’, and increasingly represented and exhibited in that way. In the wake of its exhibition at the National Museum of Australia in late 2015 and early 2016, the s…
Entanglement of oral sources and colonial records
Oral history has been used as a source and method for histories of colonialism for decades. This chapter describes canvass a series of issues and debates surrounding the use and interpretation of oral sources—both oral histories recorded in the present and oral evidence within archival records—for researching and writing histories of colonialism. To illuminate the ways in which scholars have used oral sources for colonial history, it takes a hist…
Mistress of Everything
Indigenous people in Britain’s settler colonies engaged Queen Victoria in their diplomacy and politics, and incorporated her into their intellectual and narrative traditions. These interpretations of Victoria have much to tell us about indigenous peoples’ experiences of and responses to British colonization, and they also make a significant contribution to historical and contemporary understandings of British imperial and colonial history. The es…

Brokering in colonial exploration
The history of exploration has often been thought of as a heroic drama in which the explorer is the principal, sometimes exclusive, protagonist and narrator. This edited volume treats exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people from across social strata and cultures coming together, sometimes for a sustained time, at others only briefly, in various kinds of relationships and interactions, focusing primarily on …
Brokers and boundaries. Colonial exploration in indigenous territory
Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology. With a focus on Indigenous brokers, such as guides, assistants and mediators, it highlights the ways in which nineteenth-century exploration in Australia and New Guinea was a collective and socially complex enterprise. Ma…

Exploration archives and indigenous histories
Since the 1990s, a number of scholars have sought to uncover 'hidden histories' of exploration, as Felix Driver and Lowri Jones have referred to it. 1 Working against a conventional emphasis on the exploits and achievements of the singular heroic explorer, imperial and colonial exploration is recast as a collective enterprise involving a diverse labour force and upon which expeditions were dependent for their progress and success. 2 Various appro…
Indigenous Intermediaries
This edited collection understands exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people in diverse kinds of relationships. It engages with the recent resurgence of interest in the history of exploration by focusing on the various indigenous intermediaries - Jacky Jacky, Bungaree, Moowattin, Tupaia, Mai, Cheealthluc and lesser-known individuals - who were the guides, translators, and hosts that assisted and facilitated E…
Shellwork on show
This article explores the exhibition history of decorative shell-art objects made by Aboriginal women in southeast Australia since the late Victorian era. Although produced for over a century, Aboriginal women's 'shellwork' (as it is known) has only recently received sustained curatorial attention. During the last few decades it has been acquired by private and public collectors and exhibited in both small independent and major public art galleri…
Tracing lineages
How do Aboriginal people in settler-colonial Australia negotiate the entwined experiences and histories of displacement and emplacement? Romaine Moreton's short film The Farm (2009) engages with these experiences and histories through the perspective of Aboriginal people who travelled to participate in seasonal work on white-owned farms. Set against the hard physical labour of bean picking, the film is a meditation on the ‘work of mourning’ and t…
Sites of segregation/sites of memory
This article considers the interplay between Aboriginal people’s remembrances about race relations in rural mid-twentieth-century Australia and the frames of remembrance provided by the American Civil rights movement. It takes as its focus two key Australian sites of racial segregation – country town cinemas and public swimming pools – to explore the ways in which since, and in no small part due to, the desegregationist politics of the 1960s they…

Across Victoria and New South Wales, Aboriginal people claim that Crown land reserves set aside in the second half of the nineteenth century were granted or deeded to them by Queen Victoria. This paper spells out approaches to interpreting this longstanding oral tradition, with particular reference to documentation and discussion of it within mid twentieth century ethnography and in the context of activist research as part of the fledgling land r…

Captain Cook
‘Every Right to be There’
During Baz Luhrmann's childhood in a small country town in New South Wales in the 1960s and 1970s, his father operated the local picture theatre. It's a detail much mentioned by Luhrmann in interviews, and often included in biographical sketches of him. His Wikipedia entry, for instance, notes that: 'He was raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural settlement in northern New South Wales, where his father ran a petrol station and a movie theatre, both …
Historical encounters
The figure of the Aboriginal eyewitness appears from time to time in accounts about Captain Cook at Botany Bay, and in discussions of how the history of Captain Cook at Botany Bay has been publicly remembered and represented. In each appearance, the eyewitness is deployed to contribute to some historical or memorial project. The evi dence provided, apparently, by a named or unnamed Indigenous 'eyewitness' is called forth by colonial and post-colo…

To Try to Form Some Connections with the Natives’
This article examines Captain Cook's encounters with indigenous people at Botany Bay in 1770. It argues that a cross‐cultural interpretation of the evidence in the voyage journals of Captain Cook and Joseph Banks exposes the fictions that have structured Australian settler narratives about Cook's first landfall on the continent. It is proposed that an approach that considers carefully the nature of encounters between the mariners and the local pe…
Baz Luhrmann's Australia Reviewed
Lady Nugent's Journal
The husband of Maria, Lady Nugent (1771–1834) was Governor of Jamaica from 1801 to 1806. Her diaries were not written for publication, and therefore offer a valuable and frank record of people and situations she met with in Jamaica. They were published privately after her death, and are here reproduced from the 1907 edition. The Jamaica diary covers a period of uncertainty in the West Indies due to the Napoleonic Wars. While generally avoiding po…
