Vance Palmer
With the increasing success of New Journalism before World War 1, hopes for labour daily papers crystallised. This article speculates on four attempts to counter conservative media as seen through the youthful eyes of Vance Palmer. In London, he participated in the foundation of the successful labour paper the Daily Herald, and he wrote for the British Labour Party daily. Returning to Australia in 1912, he sought to work for a proposed Sydney-bas…
Star Making
This article focuses directly on Thea Astley’s publishing history from the time of her involvement with Brisbane’s avant garde in the 1950s, her early inclusion in regional collections, and her emergence as a Miles Franklin prize-winning author, through the enabling pen and advocacy of one of Angus & Robertson (A&R)’s finest fiction editors, Beatrice Davis, to the establishment in the 1980s of Astley’s ultimate author-publisher relationship with …
Finding a Spiritual Home in the Australian Environment
Eco-centric ideologies recognise humans as an interdependent part of a larger biotic community and the biophysical systems that support them. Constructions and narratives of one’s ‘spiritual home’ in the environment by authors and critics can challenge colonial and postcolonial understandings, of — in this instance — Australia. Vance Palmer, Australia’s leading man of letters of the inter-war period, claimed his was a generation seeking to find ‘…
Heeding the Warnings
Climate change literary criticism calls for fundamental re-evalutions of our critical tools. In representations of extreme weather events, Vance Palmer’s Cyclone set in North Queensland meets many of the new criterion with its story about the impact of the cyclone on individuals, community and plot. The genesis and inspiration of the novel, its writing, its publication, review and reception can be addressed. The cyclone is seen through the percep…
Shaped on the Anvil of Mars
In Australia as elsewhere within the belligerent nations of the Great War, dissenting thinkers were marginalised with the mobilisation of militarism. Vance and Nettie Palmer, Australia's most important literary partnership in the interwar period, were initially critical of the war, their response typical of the English radical intelligentsia among whom they were living at the time of its outbreak. Forced back to Australia in 1915, the Palmers had…
Important Co‐leader Skills and Traits on Extended Outdoor Trips as Perceived by Leaders
Although wilderness trips are typically co‐led, there is a deficit of research literature exploring the dynamics of co‐leadership in the field. This study was conducted to determine the skills and traits outdoor adventure trip leaders perceived to be important for their co‐leaders to possess on an extended outdoor trip. Utilizing Q‐methodology, a 36‐item instrument developed from the leadership literature was administered to 17 outdoor leaders. T…
In the eye of the beholder
The theory of expectation states suggests that each individual has certain performance and behavioural expectations of themselves and others in society. Those expectations are based on various roles people play within society. People in leadership roles are ascribed high status; others look up to them and grant them power and dominance. The literature also reveals that, based on gender, males are ascribed higher status than females. This can resu…

A new vision for outdoor leadership theory
There are many well established theories of leadership that can be found throughout the literature. Researchers in the field of recreation also have established relevant recreation-specific leadership theories. Outdoor recreation, however, places unique demands upon leadership theory that have not yet been addressed. It is an area that currently lacks a sound theory-base from which to conduct related research. This article reviews the many establ…
