  • Papuan Epic – Keith Bushell – 1930

    Papuan Epic – Keith Bushell – 1930

    Keith Bushell was a Patrol Officer and Magistrate in New Guinea. His book is an extremely personal account at times drifting to dialogue, Skirmished and cannibalism abound as does “white savagery”.

    The battles of Pai-Wa and Ebadidi are recorded. The questionable taming of the sorcerer “Donovan”. Nicely illustrated as usual for New Guinea items.

    The Black Musketeers – Marshall – 1937

    First edition 1937 The New Hebrides (Vanuatu) and one of the most readable Pacific Island accounts because of the skill and humour of the author Jock Marshall. From the Oxford University Exploring Committee. The introduction by his colleague Tom Harrison sets the scene better than many.

    The musketeers use guns taken there in the 19th century by sandalwood and slave trader … they still work.

    Well illustrated … Interesting story behind the “red flag”.

  • Tuckey’s Voyage (to Port Philip) – an abridgement 1805

    Tuckey’s Voyage (to Port Philip) – an abridgement 1805

    An abridgement of the 239 pages “An account of a Voyage to establish a Colony at Port Philip, in Bass’s Strait, on the south coast of New South Wales, in his majesty’s ship Calcutta, in the years 1802-3-4, by J. H. Tuckey Esq First Lieutenant of the Calcutta” – Longman & Co, London.

    20 pages in simple blue sugar paper wrappers. Refer Ferguson bibliography of Australia, 410 and copy in the National Library Rex Nan Kivell Collection NK1729.

    Much of the twenty pages is taken up by the voyage out but the arrival at Port Philip and the difficulties and hostilities encountered with the local aboriginal group are written up in detail and give a good understanding as to why the site was abandoned for the Derwent.
