In the land Down Under one island in Western Australia is in the midst of a bold project to return it to a pre-European state. The Dirk Hartog Island National Park: Return to 1616 initiative has seen sheep farming (the mainstay for the single resident family for over 100 years) be replaced by eco-tourism. All cattle has been removed, invasive species have been culled and slowly, the vegetation and biodiversity is bouncing back. Given that the Wardle family used to earn around AUS$2.5million from their merino wool enterprise adventurer Phoebe Smith decided to pay them a visit to see how the less lucrative tourism industry was being embraced by them and undertake their inspiring hiking trail - Walking with Whales.

In this episode we look at the extraordinary life of Truganini and her will to survive.
Cassandra Pybus exposes the secret trade of the skeletal remains of the first people of Tasmania. CW: This episode contains upsetting discussion about grave desecration and the trading of human remains
Eén van de hardnekkige misverstanden die er nog steeds bestaat over 1788, de aankomst van de First Fleet, is dat First Nations mensen het land gewoon zonder worsteling aan de witte kolonisten overdroegen. Maar dat is dus niet zo, zo vertelt historica Ingeborg van Teeseling in een nieuwe aflevering van 'Australië tot nu toe'. Ze vertelt het verhaal van het Indigenous verzet aan de hand van enkele belangrijke namen: Pemulwuy, Truganini, Yagan en Dundalli.
Hoy hablamos del impacto medioambiental y económico que pueden causar las especies exóticas cuando se introducen en un país como Australia, con una fauna y flora únicas. En nuestra sección “Curiosidades de Australia” te contamos la historia de Truganini, una mujer aborigen de Tasmania que fue testigo del exterminio de su pueblo en la época de la colonización, y que fue clave en el intento de entendimiento entre indígenas y colonos. Además, te traemos un informe sobre la edición 78 de la Asamblea General de la ONU que se enfoca en el cambio climático, la guerra de Ucrania y las crisis económicas. No te pierdas el programa de este martes 19 de septiembre de 2023.
En Curiosidades de Australia te hablamos de Truganini, una de las últimas indígenas sobrevivientes a la colonización británica de la isla de Tasmania. También te contamos sobre la rampa inflable para aviones, un invento australiano; y te contamos datos curiosos sobre los cassowaries, un ave tan hermosa como peligrosa.
When Truganini died, she was mistakenly declared the last Tasmanian Aboriginal. Though some say she sold out her people, in hindsight, Truganini's survival allowed future generations to learn about the near annihilation of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania.

Everything you learnt about Truganini in school is wrong. This week, join Nicola and Hannah as they look between the lines of Australian colonialism to trace the story of Nuenonne woman Truganini, a woman who lived through the unimaginable. And became a bushranger. Which was a valid life choice. Women of War is written and recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and any First Nations listeners today. Sovereignty was never ceded. This podcast contains references to violence and atrocities committed against Indigenous men, women and children in Australia over the course of the last two hundred years. It also contains references to disease, sexual coercion and sexual slavery, pedophilia, murder, execution, robbery and desecration of the dead. It also contains the names of Indigenous people who have passed away. It also contains some coarse language. It may not be suitable for all listeners. All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this podcast however with the nature of historical research, there may be mistakes or inconsistencies. The views presented herein are also not reflective of our employers. For a far more thorough exploration of Truganini's life, read Cassandra Pybus' Truganini: Journey Through the Apocalypse (2020).

In this episode, Caroline talks to controversial Tasmanian historian and essayist Cassandra Pybus about her unique connection to Truganini, one of the most famous First Nations figures in the island’s history. Cassandra corrects several misconceptions about Truganini’s life at a time of brutal change. Life Sentences is a Two Heads Media production Producers: David Roach and Jennifer Macey Music: Blue Dot Sessions www.carolinebaum.com.au All the books in this series are available from good bookshops and online.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Liberated from the tropes of tragedy that have dominated previous accounts, Cassandra Pybus' biography of Nuenonne woman Truganini finally does justice to this remarkable woman. Posthumously and falsely named “the Last Tasmanian Aboriginal”, Truganini is revealed to be a woman of great strength, resilience and agency, a renowned swimmer, nimble negotiator, lover of nature and children, and master of adaptation. Inspired by her own family's connection to Nuenonne country, Cassandra is joined by Ian Anderson to discuss Truganini's life and legacy. Chaired by Natasha Cica

Episode Fourteen of Frontier War Stories Boe Yarns with Dr Joseph Toscano author of Lest We Forget The Tunnerminnerwait & Maulboyheenner Saga, also national convenor of the Tunnerminnerwait & Maulboyheenner commemoration committee. At 8.00am on Tuesday the 20th of January 1842, over 5,000 people, a quarter of Victoria‟s white population, gathered at the outskirts of Melbourne crowding round the gallows erected on a small rise east of Swanston Street and north of La Trobe Street. The crowd, in a carnival mood, had come to see the public execution of Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner. Early in October 1841, Tunnerminnerwait, Maulboyheenner, Pyterruner, Truganini and Planobeena – 5 of 16 Tasmanian Aborigines who had been brought to Melbourne by Robinson in 1839 to „civilise‟ the Victorian „blacks‟, stole two guns and some ammunition from a settlers hut at Bass River. Over the next seven weeks, they robbed many stations in Dandenong and Mornington, wounding four white men and killing two sealers „Yankee‟ and William Cook. All five were captured by a party of police, settlers, soldiers and black trackers on the 20th of November 1841.

Cameron Semmens is the author of twenty one books. Twenty one! When's he's not writing poetry and making books, he's teaching workshops in poetry. He eats, breaths and drinks poetry 24/7 and he was an incredible pleasure to have a chat with. Sean opens up the show with a poem called They Don't Love Blue. To listen to this poem with stunning music by Isnod go here. Cameron goes above and beyond in taking on the More Than A Whelan challenge and writes not one, not two but three poems especially for the podcast inspired by our listener prompts. We go deep about what poetry can be. Can poetry be a cream pie smashed in your face by an evil clown? Cameron Semmens proves that yes, yes it can, through an hilarious story of auditioning for Red Faces in Hobart. Cameron first poem is called Fiddlesticks. Thank you Rebecca Vespertine for the creative prompt The Colour of Regret. Congratulations on being another Muse of The Week! Sean reads a poem called The Embassy Cafe inspired by the creative prompts 24 Hour Embassy Cafe by Jessica Alice and Holy Sock by supplied by Cameron Semmens himself. Thanks Cameron and special thanks to Jessica Alice for becoming a first time Muse of the Week! Cameron reads his second poem called You Woman, You've Had Enough using the creative prompts Icepoles & ICU and Hollow Eyes Hoping For A Better Day by Jenny O'Keefe. Thighmaster and a photograph of a man lying on a pillow with Marlene Dietriech's face were creative prompts supplied by Emilie Zoey Baker. Sean reads a poem created for Liner Notes Live at the Melbourne Writers Festival telling the true story of his encounter with Nirvana at Kings Cross Train Station in 1992. Cameron's final poem is a piece called Coddled By Spiders using the prompt Hollow Eyes Hoping For A Better Day by Jenny O'Keefe. The segment Whelan & Stealin' returns after an absence of a couple of weeks where Sean reads some of his favourite writing by other writers and asks his guests to do the same. Sean reads a poem by Nathan Curnow called Bath Towel Wings from a collection called No Other Life But This published by Five Islands in 2006. Cameron reads a poem called Sweet Darkness by David Whyte. Look out for a new children's book by Cameron called One Big Wish to be released very soon. Also Cameron has his very own poetry podcast called Shards. And a blog detailing his unlikely experience of discovering a mural of Truganini in Norway. Thank you for listening to Episode 11 of More Than A Whelan.
To celebrate NAIDOC week, we wanted to honour the extraordinary life of one of Australia’s foremost, but often misremembered Indigenous women, Truganini. Born on Bruny Island off the Tasmanian Coast in the early 19th century in the Palawa community, Truganini’s life was quickly transformed by the arrival of British invaders. After surviving a tragic early life, she realised she could help her people by becoming a guide and interpreter. But when she lost hope in even that, she turned to the bush and life as an outlaw. A content warning to listeners that this episode contains discussion of extreme violence and genocide. Because of her, we can.https://meanjin.com.au/essays/the-national-confessional/http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2011/02/10/3135481.htm http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/trugernanner-truganini-4752If you want to support Deviant Women, follow us on: PatreonTwitter @DeviantWomenFacebook @deviantwomenpodcastInstagram @deviantwomenpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they continue spinning Midnight Oil's 1993 album, Earth and Sun and Moon. The Canadian Couchers get extra spaced-out on Jim's title-track lyrics, lament the total mishandling of Truganini (did it "ruin" the band's future?) and try to get the attention of Ground Control. Apparently, there's a man out in space and he's trying to reach you.

In this episode we delve into an extremely controversial period in Australian history – the genocide of the Tasmanian Aborigines. We also look at Truganini, the most famous of the Tasmanian Aborigines. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this episode contains the names of people who are deceased. Be warned! This is a very long episode by AWP standards.
Memorials everywhere, but what do they tell us? A controversial push for frontier conflict to be recognised is close to becoming a reality in Melbourne.
Brenda L Croft, Senior Research Fellow, National Institute for Experimental Arts, College of Fine Arts, The University of New South Wales The (in)famous CA Woolley image of Truganini (full face) (1866), taken ten years prior to her death at the approximate age of 64, has seared itself onto Australia’s national psyche as the collective sign of the trauma inflicted upon Indigenous people since first contact with non-Indigenous colonisers. Truganini, also known as Lallah Rookh, a woman from the Nuenonne people of the southeast of Tasmania was forced into the unwarranted role as signifier of the 'last of the Tasmanian Aborigines’. In life Truganini’s body was a living museum specimen, in death she was defiled with her skeleton being placed on public display until the middle of the 20th century. Her spirit was finally set free a century after her death with her cremated remains scattered in the D’Entrecasteaux River as she had wished. Truganini’s immense distress was evident in those last images of her stricken face and it is within the long shadow cast by her gaze that the representation of Aboriginal people taken during the modernist era will be discussed, including representations by relatively unknown Aboriginal photographers.
