On Growing a Journal
In this era of the neo-liberal academy, establishing an academic journal is a labor of love and hope. In this article, I celebrate the dedication and commitment of its many contributors and reflect on the value of the arts and humanities to the mobilities paradigm. I do that from the perspective of a feminist historian from a settler colonial polity in the southern hemisphere, where uneven mobilities and the violence of dispossession continue to …
Australia - Drive It Like You Stole It
More than a means of transportation, the global system of automobility is simultaneously a meaning-making assemblage. In Australia automobility was central to the formation of a settler colonial polity, and its pervasive mediatization trumpeted settlers’ legitimate possession of the continent. The rich archives of settler automobilism are not matched, however, when it comes to Indigenous automobilities. Aboriginal people created tenacious and liv…
Revisiting “Driving While Black”
Paul Gilroy observed in 2001 that there were “surprisingly few” discussions of automobiles in histories of African American vernacular cultures, in spite of their “epoch-making impact.” He argued that a “ distinctive history of propertylessness and material deprivation” had led to a disproportionate African American investment in automobiles. This article considers how car culture has also operated as a salve for the “indignities of white suprema…
Mobile encounters
At the turn of the twentieth century bicycles and motorcars constituted a significant break from organic modes of mobility, such as walking, horses and camels. In Australia, such mechanical modes of personal transport were settler imports that generated local meanings and practices as they were integrated into the material, cultural and political conditions of the settler nation-in-the-making. For settlers, new technologies confirmed their racial…
Pedaling Power
Mobilities across contested terrains are key to the formation of settler societies. This paper explores how safety bicycles were drawn into the Australian settler project at the turn of the twentieth century, just as the six independent colonies were federating into the Commonwealth of Australia. As recently imported objects, bicycles afforded settler men unprecedented mobility across remote landscapes that had not been smoothed by the infrastruc…
Settler Colonial Automobilities
A growing body of scholarship employs the concept of ‘automobility’ to understand the practices, meanings and values with which cars have become invested. Analysis of settler colonial phenomena has also recently cohered into a distinctive transnational research strand. This article aims to integrate the findings of these two previously unconnected scholarly agendas in order to ask the following questions: can the existence of a distinct settler c…

The Flip Side
In August 1953 almost 200 cars set off from the Sydney Showgrounds in what popular motoring histories have called the biggest, toughest, most ambitious, demanding, ‘no-holds-barred’ race, which ‘caught the public imagination’ and ‘fuelled the nation with excitement’.1 It was the first Redex Around Australia Reliability Trial and organisers claimed it would be more testing than the famous Monte Carlo Rally through Europe and was the longest and mo…
Automobiles and Australian Modernisation
In the first half of the 1950s, automobiles came to the forefront of national attention in three Redex Around-Australia Reliability trials, which sent hundreds of cars from Sydney to race around the continent in expressions of barely-controlled automotive fervour. As multi-dimensional events that incapsulated individual and national aspirations, the Redex trials provide an evocative framework for exploring some competing versions of Australian mo…
Machines as the Measure of Women
The car-human interconnection is the subject of this article. The author sees cars as products produced with a specific cultural context. As they roll off both the assembly line and, ultimately, the showroom floors, their social and cultural productiveness continues to evolve on both the macro- and micro scales. This is seen to manifest in differences -- of class, generation, gender, and race – through how and to whom cars are bought and sold. Th…
A Fine University for Women Engineers
In a tiny village in south-west Scotland, a model factory was established during World War I, not just to produce munitions 'for the duration', but with the expressed intention of continuing as 'a fine university for women engineers'. In an attempt to keep the enterprise going after the War, the factory was converted to the manufacture of motor cars. The Galloway – 'a car made by ladies for others of their sex' – was the result. This article cons…

Tracing the outline of nation
Round Australia' motor journeys were something of a national obsession in 1925. That year, three cars left from Perth in Western Australia to attempt the circuit for the first time. Marion Bell, the focus of this paper, was the third around. She began in October 1925 and completed her journey in April of 1926. She was accompanied by her eleven-year-old daughter, also Marion Bell. It was a difficult journey, the largest part across country where t…
