In 1844 Sturt too found odd

the general appearance of the wooded portion of [South Australia] . . . open forest without the slightest undergrowth save grass . . . In many places the trees are so sparingly, and I had almost said judiciously distributed as to resemble the park lands attached to a gentleman's residence in England.⁷

On September 7th 1815, explorer John McDouall Stuart was born in Dysart, Fife.

Descended from a family steeped in military service, Stuart was born in in a sixteenth-century home which now houses a museum in his honour, as seen in the pic. He was the son of army captain William Stuart and his wife Mary (née McDouall). Orphaned in his early teens, he attended the Scottish Naval and Military Academy, Edinburgh, and graduated as a civil engineer.

At the age of 23 he embarked on the Indus from Dundee, arriving at Holdfast Bay, South Australia, in January 1839. He entered the Government Survey Department and, despite primitive conditions in survey camps, found that nomadic life in the bush appealed to him. A man of small stature, his life became a constant battle against ill health and poverty. Assigned as draughtsman for the 1844-46 expedition of Captain Charles Sturt into the interior, Stuart gained valuable experience and received his leader’s full approbation. Sturt’s failure to reach the centre of the continent inspired Stuart’s later achievements.

Returning to Adelaide in January 1846, Stuart was incapacitated with scurvy for twelve months and moved to Port Lincoln for health reasons, while recovering he worked for fellow Scot and shipmate James Sinclair on his properties and tutored the Sinclair children.

In 1854 William Finke and the Chambers brothers, James and John, engaged him to survey leases and prospect for minerals in the northern Flinders Ranges. Between May 1858 and January 1860 Stuart led three expeditions into the Lake Eyre region, seeking new grazing lands and minerals for his sponsors.

In contrast to Sturt, Stuart travelled quickly with limited supplies. Horses were his only means of conveyance. On his first attempt to cross the continent, he reached the geographical centre of Australia on 22nd April 1860, accompanied by two companions and twelve horses --- a feat later described as ‘the greatest and pluckiest exploration ever accomplished’. He tried again the following year but it was not until 1862 that he finally made it to the northern shore.

In poor health Stuart returned to England in 1864, nearly blind and with a broken constitution. He died on 5th June 1866, a forgotten hero. He was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery, London, with a memorial stone erected by his sister Mary.

As a result of Stuart’s expeditions, the nature of the Red Centre was revealed, South Australia gained control of and settled the Northern Territory, and vast areas of the interior were opened up for European settlement. In 1872 the Adelaide-to-Darwin Overland Telegraph Line was completed along Stuart’s route.

His statue was erected in Victoria Square, Adelaide in 1904 and Central Mount Stuart, the Stuart Highway and Stuart Range are named in his honour. The John McDouall Stuart Society was founded in 1964 by descendants of his companions to perpetuate his name and achievements.

A second statue of Stuart can be found in Alice Spring. The statue has been hounded by controversy since it was gifted to the Alice Springs Town Council in 2010, with some saying the work is culturally insensitive. Protests accuse him of not asking permission to enter the land and of killing Arrernte people."You came to Mount Hay and you killed our mob," a letter from Aboriginal elders said. "You went to Attack Creek and you killed more of our mob. This is murder and we can't forget it." it continued.

The Australian Aboriginal singer Warren H Williams also spoke at a protest rally, mocking the size of the gun and calling for the statue to be removed.

"This fella has destroyed both Arrernte and Warramungu [people]...look at the statue, it's a big gun," he said.

"They put a statue up of him, but never asked anybody, even the white people in this town if they can put it up..."

There are numerous memorials to Stuart around South Australia.

Wagga Mardi Gras calls for help as top sponsors pull out

Wagga Mardi Gras calls for help as top sponsors pull out

Organisers of the Wagga Mardi Gras Festival have made a public plea after the event lost two of its biggest sponsors ahead of its 2025 return to the regional NSW town of Wagga Wagga.

Launched in 2019, next April’s planned event would be the fifth time Wagga has hosted the family-friendly Pride festival that celebrates diversity and equality.

Each year, thousands turn out for the Wagga Mardi Gras street parade and free afterparty at Victory Memorial Gardens featuring music, drag and entertainment.

Festival founder Holly Conroy (above left) said in previous years, major sponsors Charles Sturt University and Coles both made significant contributions to the event’s success.

But without their support, organisers say they may have to cancel next year’s event.

“We need the community’s help to keep the Wagga Wagga Mardi Gras vibrant, inclusive, and accessible to all,” said festival founder Holly Conroy.

Team of volunteers organise Wagga Mardi Gras

Holly said while the event gets council support, it costs a significant amount to hold. The event does not turn a profit and is organised entirely by volunteers around their own full-time jobs.

Costs involved in the event include entertainment, security, road closures, insurance, photography, advertising and equipment hire.

“People are often surprised to learn that the festival is run by a small team of volunteers who work year-round to make it happen,” Holly said.

“But to make 2025 a reality, we urgently need financial and in-kind support from businesses, groups, and people who believe in the power of this event to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in our region.”

Coles said it withdrew 2025 support for Wagga Mardi Gras “to ensure that we are sharing the support that we can provide to other communities”.

“We support and celebrate a variety of regional and metropolitan-based community-led pride events,” a spokesperson said.

“We are continually looking to share our support to demonstrate that no matter how you identify, who you love or where you come from.”

Cancelling Wagga Mardi Gras is ‘last resort’

Holly Conroy said Wagga Mardi Gras is a very important event for her regional community.

She said she’d heard personal stories of queer locals who’d chosen to come out publicly for the first time after attending.

She said the event seems to give “everyone that extra little bit of courage to go out and be themselves” without fear.

“If we do have to cancel, and obviously that’s a last resort and something that we don’t want to do, it’s going to take a safe space away from a lot of people,” she said.

Any business or individual interested in supporting the event can contact the committee’s sponsorship manager.

In 1833 Charles Sturt concluded,

The proportion of bad soil to . . . good in New South Wales, is certainly very great . . . the general want of vegetable mould over the colony [is due] chiefly to the ravages of . . . [fire], whereby the growth of underwood, so favourable in other countries to the formation of soil, is wholly prevented . . . There is no part of the world in which fires create such havoc as in . . . Australia.¹

In recent years, Australian sandalwood has gained remarkable popularity, revered for its deep, warm aroma. The wood and its oil have become staples in the luxury fragrance industry, appealing to consumers and celebrities. However, this increasing demand has raised serious concerns among conservation experts regarding the sustainability of sandalwood, with warnings that the species is nearing extinction in its natural habitat. According to Richard McLellan, an adjunct research fellow at Charles Sturt University, the allure of Australian sandalwood lies in its status as one of the most fragrant sandalwood species worldwide. Unfortunately, this popularity has been detrimental; "very few people know that it’s declining in the wild and it’s been over-harvested for decades," he explained. McLellan’s six years of research into the wild Santalum spicatum, primarily harvested in Western Australia, reveals that this species is critically threatened, largely due to its extensive use in perfumes, cosmetics, and incense. One noteworthy stakeholder in the sandalwood industry is the Aboriginal-owned business Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils, which supplies sandalwood oil to notable brands such as Aesop and Givaudan, a major supplier for the Estée Lauder group. Guy Vincent, chief executive of Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils, insists that the wild sandalwood population is not endangered because it is sustainably sourced from plantations, government-owned areas, and native title lands. Vincent highlighted that the regeneration process of the trees on native lands is "monitored and validated scientifically," indicating a potential model for sustainable harvesting practices. However, the broader reality is troubling. In Western Australia, the Forest Products Commission oversees the commercial harvesting of up to 2,500 tonnes of wild sandalwood annually. While some sandalwood is also cultivated in plantations, experts are increasingly concerned about wild populations, noting severe deficits in natural regeneration. Historically, Santalum spicatum flourished across much of southern Western Australia and South Australia but has seen significant geographic retreat to semi-arid regions, particularly in Western Australia, where it lacks formal protection. The plight of Australian sandalwood has prompted McLellan to advocate for its listing under national environmental laws. His research emphasizes its ecological significance as a keystone species for native fauna. "We extract it purely for commercial gain without recognizing its ecological value in the landscape," he said. The federal government is set to receive recommendations regarding the protection status of Australian sandalwood from its threatened species scientific committee by October 30, 2024, a decision awaited with considerable anticipation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed wild Australian sandalwood as "vulnerable" three years ago, noting that “unsustainable, legal wild harvest” poses a considerable threat to its survival. This classification serves as a stark reminder that commercial interests often collide with environmental sustainability. Professor Kingsley Dixon from Curtin University observes a marked decline in both the abundance and quality of sandalwood in its original range, with many populations disappearing from areas where they were once commonplace. Concerningly, the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions in Western Australia has already recognized the instability of some wild populations among their biodiversity management programs. With a review planned that aligns with any changes in sandalwood's protection status, the department acknowledges that natural regeneration poses a challenge to the long-term viability of these communities. As a response, re-seeding efforts and regeneration programs have emerged as crucial for conservation efforts aimed at restoring sandalwood ecosystems. Peter Robertson, an environmental consultant and leader

of the "Save our Sandalwood" initiative, asserted that the situation for Santalum spicatum is dire. He attributes the escalating risks not only to overharvesting but also to climate change and grazing by invasive feral animals. "We think that the minister must accept that advice and ensure that Santalum spicatum is listed as a threatened species," he urged. In conclusion, the situation surrounding Australian sandalwood highlights the urgent need for sustainable harvesting practices and effective conservation strategies. This is a prime example of how a desirable product can lead to ecological harm, further emphasizing the necessity for all stakeholders—ranging from businesses to government entities—to engage collaboratively toward fostering sustainability. As industry and environmental concerns intersect, the path forward must prioritize both economic viability and ecological integrity.

Why Regional Australian Universities Are a Top Choice for 2024

When we think of top universities in Australia, institutions in big cities like Sydney and Melbourne often come to mind. However, regional universities are emerging as hidden gems in 2024. Universities like the University of Tasmania, University of New England, and Charles Sturt University offer high-quality education in a more relaxed and affordable setting. These regional universities provide a unique learning experience, making them an attractive option for international students.

Affordability and Quality of Life

One of the biggest advantages of studying at a regional university is the cost. Tuition fees and living expenses in regional areas are generally lower than in major cities. This makes it easier for international students to manage their finances. Plus, the quality of life in regional areas is excellent. Students enjoy a peaceful environment, close-knit communities, and stunning natural landscapes, offering a perfect balance between academics and lifestyle.

Smaller Class Sizes and Personalized Learning

Regional universities are known for their smaller class sizes, which means students receive more personalized attention from their professors. This close interaction helps students feel more engaged and supported in their academic journey. Many regional universities also offer specialized programs that cater to local industries, giving students unique career opportunities.

Overseas Education Consultancy

Deciding to study at a regional university in Australia may not be an obvious choice for everyone. This is where overseas education consultancy services become incredibly useful. These consultants provide in-depth information about regional universities, helping students understand the benefits of studying in these less well-known areas. They can offer insights into the programs offered, the cost of living, and the unique opportunities available in regional universities.

Support from Study Abroad Consultants

Study abroad consultants play an important role in helping students choose regional universities that align with their academic and career goals. They provide guidance on everything from selecting the right course to navigating the visa process. Regional universities often have excellent support services for international students, and study abroad consultants can help ensure that students take full advantage of these resources.

Conclusion

In 2024, regional universities in Australia are becoming more popular among international students due to their affordability, smaller class sizes, and unique learning environments. With the help of overseas education consultancy and study abroad consultants, students can explore these hidden gems and make the most of their academic experience in Australia. If you're looking for a high-quality education in a peaceful and affordable setting, a regional university might be the perfect choice for you.
