Clem Hill was born on his fathers original selection on Brungle Creek, Tumut Shire, in 1887 and had a hard, but fulfilling, life working as a labourer and stockman. Clem enlisted in the 36th Battalion of the AIF in February 1916. After training in Australia and England he fought in France and Belgium and was severely wounded at the Battle of Passchendaele. He was repatriated to Australia and, while recuperating in hospital, met Lottie Low, an Army nurse, whom he married in 1922. He worked as a labourer and built a house in Concord, Sydney, but lost everything in the Great Depression. The family moved back to Brungle Creek and later to Tumut where Clem conducted the summer ice run. Clem had a reputation as a marksman, having been a sniper in the war, and he knew how to trap possums and rabbits. He sold the skins and fed his family on rabbit meat in those hard times. He had many skills as a bushman, including robbing wild bees hives, fencing, controlling rabbit build-ups and killing snakes. He tried to teach these skills to his two sons. He worked as a labourer, stockman and shearer and knew how to handle livestock. He died suddenly after a hard days shearing, aged 51. Harry Hill, Clem's son, paints a vivid picture of life in rural Australia from before World War I, through the Great Depression, to his fathers death in 1938. (back cover).…

Softcover. Condición: AS NEW COPY. Who were Australia's women convicts? Were they drunks and whores, 'genetic' criminals and moral degenerates as many observers believed Or victims of circumstances almost unimaginable in the twentieth century, as others claim A Cargo of Women traces the chequered story of one hundred women transported together in 1829 on the ship Princess Royal. Caught in an England convulsed by change, they became the unwitting and unwilling pioneers of a new land. Through imaginative use of detailed research, Babette Smith presents a personalised view of this group of women. She traces their stories, presenting us with a patchwork image of individual lives that are both rich and varied, and often poignantly tragic. We encounter their despair at being parted from their families and particular concern for the children left behind, their experiences of assigned service in the colony, the marriages that could provide salvation or the final degradation, the opportunities that existed for a new life in a society more socially mobile. Framing them all is the story of the indomitable Susannah Watson who, trapped in the crowded filthy slums of Nottingham, stole because she 'could not bear to see her children starving'. Separated forever from her husband and four children; she was transported for 14 years, but served 16. She endured the convict system at its worst, yet emerged triumphant to die in her bed aged 83 singing 'Rock of Ages'.viii, 254 p. ; 23 cm.

Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 238 pp. Almost 40 years after the 1967 referendum which gave the Commonwealth, rather than the various states, power to make laws covering the Aboriginal people of Australia, there is little evidence that any real progress towards bettering their position has been made. The main focus has initially been Aboriginal land rights, but health outcomes remain poor. This book provides a detailed and objective account of the history of Aboriginal Affairs from the time of the 1967 referendum to 2005. It is a sequel to his 'Aboriginal Affairs: A Brief History 1788 - 1994' published in 1995. He argues the case for a total overhaul of government policies and programs. .…
