Book Description
'Where History Happened' reveals the hidden past of some of Australia's most intriguing towns and places, from mining settlements and whaling stations to monuments and historic houses in our capital cities. The stories that emerge, of remote religious communities, isolated penal colonies, places of Indigenous incarceration and environmental degradation and rejuvenation, describe a vast and complex country, with a heritage worth preserving. Part social, architectural, military, political and industrial history, part road trip travel companion, this book has something for every reader.

Book Description
What is keeping people strong in isolated and under-populated locales, and how much of that is cultural? In 2008 the Cultural Asset Mapping for Regional Australia (CAMRA) project was born with the very simple question: 'how can we best map regional culture in contemporary Australia so that we can assess that culture's value?' In the five years that followed, what transpired was an unpredicatable journey into unlikely places and too-often neglected communities across regional Australia, from western Sydney to the central desert, from east coast surfboard-shapers to Torres Straight hip-hop musicians. Their experiences, stories and insights confronted existing assumptions, and challenged many of the cherished precepts of cultural policy and creative industries research. By-roads and Hidden Treasures brings together the project's researchers, cultural critics and arts and creative industry figures to discuss culture and its connection to community, particularly in isolated circumstances. The book contains thought-provoking discussions on regional Australia's colonial and cultural heritage, and details innovative new methods for measuring cultural assets, as well as reflecting on fostering collaborations with peak cultural bodies in order to inform imminent policy and planning decisions for regional Australia.

Book Description
The National Heritage List was created in January 2004 to recognize, celebrate and protect places of outstanding heritage value to the nation. One aspect of natural heritage that has been little explored is Australiaâ__s wealth of exceptional fossil sites. While a small number of fossil sites have risen to public prominence, there are many lesser-known sites that have important heritage values. The Australian Heritage Council engaged palaeontologists from state museums and the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery to compile lists of outstanding fossil sites and to document their characteristics and relative importance against a range of categories, with a view to further understanding about Australiaâ__s important fossil heritage. Sites that were listed for National or World Heritage values were not included in the places for consideration, with the focus being on lesser-known but still important sites. This book is an account of the palaeontologistsâ__ findings. Australiaâ__s Fossil Heritage provides a useful reference to the outstanding fossil sites it catalogs, and gives a clearer understanding of the heritage values of such sites. More generally, it contributes to a greater appreciation of Australiaâ__s geological and fossil diversity and enables readers to learn more about Australiaâ__s prehistory.

Book Description
This book challenges the out-of-Africa theory of human evolution and posits that Homo sapiens sapiens evolved independently in Australia. It considers the perception of the Original Australians as primitive and challenges this with an examination of the actual technological achievements of the race. It looks at archaeological, historical, linguistic and DNA evidence that Original Australians were capable of oceangoing voyages and had commerce with distant lands from North Africa to Latin America. The authors have also gathered a great deal of testimony from Original Elders who they consider a source of authority superior to that of Western academics. The distortion of history from the time of Captain Cook and Governor Phillip. Among the achievements of the First Australians were astronomy, brain surgery and the invention of many technological innovations such as the bull roarer and the bow and arrow. In addition to this, part of the heritage of the Original Australians is the oldest ongoing spiritual tradition in history. The authors contention is that the rich spiritual source that is the Dreaming is the inspiration for much of the true religiosity encountered around the world.
