The controversial novelist Xavier Herbert (1901-84) led a colourful and itinerant life. Best known for his vast North Australian epics "Capricornia" and "Poor Fellow My Country" (totalling over a million words), he was also a pharmacist, union organiser, railway fettler, miner, woodcutter and World War II "bush commando". Herbert travelled widely throughout Australia from the 1920s to the 1980s, and his fictional depictions of the far north are bursting with chaotic energy and violence. Herbert's letters reveal not just a troubled ego, but also considerable charm, a rhapsodic response to the remote wildernesses of the north and a delight in humour - droll, rollicking and earthy - driven always by his seething imagination. 'The meaty background to the letters ... is to be found at the bottom of each page in some wonderfully rich footnotes. These correct, reference and contradict Herbert's exaggerations, gossip and outright lies. Indeed, the letters are contextualised in five different ways: Footnotes, Glossary, Names Mentioned by Xavier Herbert, Letter Recipients and the Index.... Much valuable information and the correction of misinformation is sunk into these sections.' - Caroline Viera Jones, JAS Review of Books 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Herbert, Xavier http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:198819 No abstract available 2010-03-11T00:00:00Z University of Queensland. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221490 2010-11-18T00:00:00Z Jamieson, Barrie G.

John Singe first arrived at Thursday Island in 1970. Peopled by many wild and wonderful characters, this tropical paradise proved to be no place for the faint-hearted. As a diver, John Singe survived shark attack and frequently faced the Strait's unpredictable moods when sailing the waters from Cape York to Papua New Guinea. Hunting and fishing expeditions also provided him with an unexpected education. As well as charting one man's Indiana Jones-like adventures, this entertaining book voyages across contemporary Islander cultures and lifestyles. Much more than a travel saga, My Island Home traces the rewarding journey of its author who continues to be drawn irresistibly to the gregarious people and unlimited horizons of Torres Strait. 'It is honest, courageous, subtle, a great yarn, and I highly recommend it.' - Anna Shnukal, Journal of Pacific History 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Singe, John http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:205349 No abstract available 2010-05-19T00:00:00Z Coolwell, Wayne http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:241727 2011-06-07T00:00:00Z Lawrie, Margaret. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:207441 2010-07-12T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:193588 No abstract available 2010-01-22T00:00:00Z Dignan, Don. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190682 No abstract available 2009-12-21T00:00:00Z Corbett, Barbara http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:220325 2010-11-15T00:00:00Z Korboot, Katherine http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:220327 2010-11-15T00:00:00Z Woodward, T.

From cult heroes the Saints and the Go-Betweens to national icons Powderfinger and international stars Savage Garden, Brisbane has produced more than its share of great bands. But behind the music lay a ghost city of malice and corruption. Pressed under the thumb of the Bjelke-Petersen government and its toughest enforcers - the police - Brisbane's musicians, radio announcers and political activists braved ignorance, harassment and often violence to be heard. Pig City maps the shifts in musical, political and cultural consciousness that have shaped the city's history and identity. This is Brisbane's story - the story of how a city finally grew up. 2005-11-03T00:00:00Z Stafford, Andrew http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:202216 2010-04-09T00:00:00Z Devanny, Jean http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190322 No abstract available 2009-12-17T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190888 2009-12-23T00:00:00Z Hughes, Colin A. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:195373 No abstract available 2010-02-15T00:00:00Z Hawker, Geoffrey N. og Smith, Robert F.

This book is a major contribution to Australian Studies informed by the recent concerns of postcolonial theory. It focuses on white Australia's involvement in Melanesia in the first half of the twentieth century. Interdisciplinary in scope, it deals with the travel writing, cinema and photography of Frank Hurley, Frank Clune, Ion L. Idriess and James McAuley. Robert Dixon is a highly regarded professor of English and contributor to public intellectual debate. 'Dixon's attention to historical documentary detail coupled with an understanding of the complexities of postcolonial theory make Prosthetic Gods an important study of Australia's emergence in modernity.' - Ron Blaber, JAS Review of Books 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:193110 No abstract available 2010-01-19T00:00:00Z Young, Pam http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190653 2009-12-21T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:193536 No abstract available 2010-01-22T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:241439 2011-05-26T00:00:00Z Norton, Robert Edward. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:203580 No abstract available 2010-04-20T00:00:00Z Evans, Raymond og Saunders, Kay og Cronin, Kathryn http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:200750 No abstract available 2010-03-26T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:189823 2009-12-12T00:00:00Z Butler, Garry John og Mandeville, Thomas D. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:220354 2010-11-15T00:00:00Z Collis, Kevin F.

M. W. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:8985 This is chapter 9 of Social Sketches of Australia, 1888-2001 by Humphrey McQueen. This thoroughly revised new edition of Social Sketches of Australia traces the lives and times of ordinary people from 1888 to the present. Unlike more conventional histories, it uses little-known accounts ranging from regional histories to pen portraits, trade journals and diaries. Humphrey McQueen's compelling narrative features the experiences of everyday life: what people wore and ate, the sorts of houses they lived in and what they learned at school. In addition, he looks at how they were affected by natural disasters as well as by disease and by working conditions in an increasingly industrialised society. Built up layer by layer, this is history with a difference: real stories about how we lived - then and now. 2005-11-02T00:00:00Z McQueen, Humphrey http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:222018 2010-11-23T00:00:00Z Russell, Eleanor. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:222650 2010-11-26T00:00:00Z Woodland, D.
