Fort Wellington

The British in North Australia 1827-29

par Derek Pugh ...

The Iwaidja woman, her belly opened by a bayonet, slipped below the dark water. Her 6-year-old daughter, Reveral, watched in terror. Her baby sister was already dead, hit by a slug in the first volley or drowned, but a young man lying on the sand with his intestines spilling out had to be finished off - out of mercy! Reveral, wounded in her side, was carried back to the fort in triumph, for she ... En savoir plus

In the best tradition of Paul Theroux and J. Maarten Troost, comes Derek Pugh's torrid tale of Sumbawa, and his ascent of the iconic volcano Mt. Tambora, whose 1815 eruption did indeed change the world.Pugh's account of the eruption and its aftermath is masterfully done - clearly the product of much dogged research through archives, scientific journals, as well as conversations with Indonesians ...

Territory Bushrangers

par Derek Pugh ...

In 1886, a notorious gang of horsemen wreaked havoc on the Overlanders' Trail that stretched across the Northern Territory into the wild Kimberley region. They stole cattle with audacity, brazenly held up pubs and cattle stations, and drove a herd of stolen horses with unmatched daring. As part of the Halls Creek goldrush, these men became infamous as the Ragged Thirteen.Dubbed by some as the 'Tea ... En savoir plus

The 1880s

The 1880s started with a boom in Palmerston and the Top End. South Australian investors flocked to put their money into gold mines, sugar and coffee plantations, and the pastoral industry. Cattle stations bigger than a British county were carved out of the bush.

Port Essington

The British in North Australia 1838-49

par Derek Pugh ...

For many of the Royal Marines sent to Port Essington, life was a living hell of malaria, scurvy, termites, shipwrecks, cyclones, boredom, isolation and death. For one man, it was the 'most useless, ill-managed hold in Her Majesty's dominions' which deserved 'all the abuse that has ever been heaped upon it'.But it wasn't always so: in the beginning, French visitors shared their best Bordeaux wines ...

Darwin: End of an Era - 1900-1910

par Derek Pugh ...

What does it mean to live in a place no one else believed in? Then known as Palmerston, Darwin at the dawn of the 20th century was a remote and volatile frontier town considered a white elephant by its distant government. Cyclones raged, supplies were scarce, and the promised railway never came. But despite the struggles, many Territorians chose to stay, clinging to the boundless possibilities ... En savoir plus

Land was sold to investors, unseen and unsurveyed and in an unknown location. The sales raised the funds needed to found the new colony of Palmerston, the future capital of the Northern Territory of South Australia. The First ... En savoir plus
