ABORIGINAL FOOD.--II. ITS SEARCH, CAPTURE, AND PREPARATION.
COOKING. The actual cooking of both animal and plant food is effected either by roasting,
baking,-boiling, or grilling. Of these, roasting—broiling would foe a better term—is perhaps the simplest and easiest pro«e?S, the material to be cooked being just placed on and in the hot ashes. Baking inground-ovens with boated stones, or with chunks of antlbed when the latter are not
available, varies slightly in 'the different districts. At Cape Bedford and on the 'Bloonufield a number of stones, after toeing well heated in a fire, are removed together with the ashes, and a hole Quickly dug In the position just occupied. Along its bottom are next placed several kinds of leaves
(various species of ginger), and upon these pieces ol meat, amonsat which the hot stones and ashes are placed, thon a covering Dt some more leaves or tea-tree bark,•nd lastly a layer of earth and stones.Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld. : 1866 - 1939), Saturday 30 November 1901 Read More

"Populate or perish" policy

Between 1945 and 1965, two million immigrants arrived in Australia. Displaced Persons who came to Australia were Latvians and Estonians (the Balts), Poles, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Czechs and Yugoslavs. The British remained the largest part of the migrant intake until 1953.[1] Between 1953 and late 1956, migrants from Southern Europe outnumbered the British.

In 1973, the Whitlam government (1972–1975) ended preferentially European immigration. Predominantly Asian immigration to Australia continues to the present day.

What Remains

Glen Innes, NSW: Celtic Heritage

Glen Innes, located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia, is a town with charm, and history dating back to the early 1800s.

The town was named after Archibald Clunes Innes, a pastoralist and former Commandant of Port Macquarie penal colony.

 

The Ngarabal People

The Ngarabal are an Aboriginal people of the area from Ashford, Tenterfield and Glen Innes. They called the area "Hol'pin", meaning many casuarinas near a large plain.

As regards ritual or ceremonial and “ornamental” surgery, I saw no natives with the septum nasi pierced. The Ngarrabul Blacks told me that neither circumcision nor knocking out the incisor teeth was practised in their tribe, nor was that remarkable rite, urethrotomy or mutilation of the penis, described amongst other Australian people. Scarification of the body (erroneously termed ‘ tattooing”), however, was performed after attaining adult years. It was entirely optional, and members of either sex could be so adorned if they felt disposed—an advantage that some at least did not avail themselves of. The form and distribution of the lines, etc., made by this operation differed materially in different tribes, and travellers say that many tribes could be thus easily distinguished by the bodily markings of their members.

Obstetrics in Ngarrabul were quite simple. The female relatives, sister, mother or grandmother, looked after the patient and her baby. The men knew but little about such matters, and held aloof.   

A woomera is an Australian Aboriginal wooden spear -throwing device.

1818

In 1818, John Oxley, surveyor of Australia, explored the Liverpool Plains. The southern end of the plains became known as "New England". 

Portrait of John Oxley, 1810, by unknown, watercolour, State Library of New South Wales, MIN 306

1830s

In 1838, the first squatter came to the Glen Innes district. 

Glen Innes district was called Stonehenge Station, which was occupied by Thomas Hewitt in 1838 for Archibald Boyd making him the first settler in the district.

Two stockmen with long flowing beards, William Chandler and John Duval, were among the first European settlers of the district from 1838. And they were called the Beardies, because they introduced other squatters to the region it became known as the “Land of the Beardies.” (now is the title of the Glen Innes Museum)

1840s

Archibald Clunes Innes became bankrupt in the depression of the 1840s, the station was taken over by the Bank of Australasia who later sold it to Archibald Mosman (Sydney suburb was named).

Archibald Clunes Innes 

1850s......in January, 1854. When he came to

Glen Innes they were building a wood-
en store for Fletcher and Ross. The
town was a very small place then. Mr.
James Martin had a store and the post
office, and the rest of the settlement was really nothing but a few huts.

The old Beverley Arms Hotel was where the present
Great Central is now. It was later
called the Telegraph. The hotel was
kept by Mr. Regan,

The police quarters were moved
from Wellingrove to Glen Innes in
1858. The lock-up was a small one and
could only hold six prisoners.

The first flower mill was put up by
the late Mr. P. H. Henderson in the
mill paddock, about 1857 or '58.

Archibald Mosman
owned Furracabad, Mr. Walter Neild
being manager. Major Innes first took
up Furracabad Station, and GlenInnes
was named after him.
EARLY STATIONS.
Mr. Oswald Bloxsome owned Ran-
ger's Valley and Dundee, Captain Dit-
mas reigned at Clareveaulx.

Glen Innes Examiner (NSW : 1908 - 1954) 

Glen Innes was gazetted as a town in 1852 and the first lots were sold in 1854. The first hotel in Glen Innes was likely the Telegraph Hotel, established in 1854. (later replaced by the Great Central Hotel in 1874)

The post office was established in August 1854 and the court in 1858.

In 1859, a basic four-roomed building for Court of Petty Sessions.was built.

1860s

The "first road" to Glen Innes was built in the 1860s, known as the Old Glen Innes Road or Old Grafton to Glen Innes Road, connecting the New England tablelands to the coast.

LAST OF HER HER TRIBE

ANOTHER QUEEN DIES

"Queen Fanny," who had ruled over the Oban tribe of aboriginals for the past forty years, died in the Glen Innes Hospital the other day. "Queen Fanny," who was sixty-five years of age at the time of her death, was practically the last of her tribe. The Oban blacks were, in the early days, a very formid-able and hostile tribe, numbering several hun-dred, and early pioneers experienced great difficulty in coping with their marauding expeditions. 

Traces of early troubles are still to be seen in the manner in which the old home steads in the district are built — the plan adopted resembling a system of blockhouses, for mutual protection. The late Andrew Coventry had some very trying experiences with the Oban natives, who made periodical raids on his cattle, apparently delighting in seeing the infuriated beasts running about with spears in their sides. On one occasion the blackfellows killed one of his stockmen. When the natives eventually became tamed they began to disappear very rapidly, in fact to this day where one bulk of the tribe went to is something of a mystery. Of late years the remnant of the tribe, numbering about a score all told, has been engaged in marsupial trapping near the Oban River, and they also obtain gold from the river. It is stated that before the white people ever came to New England, a big nugget was discovered by one of the blacks and rolled into a water hole. Later, when the blacks ascertained the value of gold, a search was made for the nugget but it has never been discovered, although to this day the natives have a hope of finding the treasure.
