Views and perspectives: Why does Australia have ‘forest wars’
The governance of Australia's forests has been highly contentious for 40 years, with many environmental conflicts between wood production and conservation that became known as 'forest wars'. Although much has been written during and about them, relatively little has been written about why they continue and why apparent resolutions do not hold in Australia while they do in some other countries. This paper introduces a brief history of the Australi…
Flooded Forest and Desert Creek: Ecology and History of the River Red Gum
Those great trees growing beside the Murray, shading camps in the Todd, and gracing Adelaide's parks are the river red gums of this book; so too were the stumps, door sills and wooden steps of coun
Netting the Global Forest: Attempts at Influence
This paper looks at the history of attempts to influence the conservation and management of the world’s forests through the creation of international organisations since the 1890s. The attempts are seen in the context of changes in the world political economy, changes to the forests themselves, and changing ideas about how forests should be conserved and managed. The turning points between stages of increasing organisational complexity were the S…
Imperial Ethos, Dominions Reality: Forestry Education in New Zealand and Australia, 1910-1965
The forces that started formal forestry education in Australia and New Zealand from 1910 and 1924 respectively are traced. The controversies and difficulties experienced by the forestry schools that were started are examined and the links between the two countries in forestry education are noted. Forestry education arose amidst inter-state jealousies, class divisions and personal animosities. It emerged in the 1960s as a truly university educatio…
Not Easy Work to Starve Their Employees: The 1921-22 Tasmanian Timber Dispute
Although there is a rich industrial history of the timber industry, little has been written on its labour history. This paper recounts the course of a dispute in Southern Tasmania in 1921-22. It occurred during a national campaign by employers against Justice Higgins' 1920 decision to set a 44-hour week for timber workers and engineers. Local and state factors exacerbated the Southern Tasmanian dispute where a group of sawmilling companies commen…

The Coming of Age to Australian Forests
The concept of 'old-growth' has gained public recognition and political force in Australia where government agencies are engaged in mapping its distribution. Its curious definition has stimulated an examination of how forest age has come to be constructed over the period since the white invasion in 1788. The paper examines age as a parameter in colonial and recent science. It then recounts attempts to impose an ordered progression of age classes …
