The story of the second British penal settlement in Australia, where a notoriously brutal convict regime became the template for penal stations in other states. Mark Dunn explores relations between the white settlers and the local Aboriginal landholders, and uncovers a long forgotten massacre. Shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Award for Australian History 2021 In 1790, five convicts escaped Sydney by boat and were swept ashore near present-day Newcastle. They were taken in by the Worimi people, given Aboriginal names and started families. Thus began a long and at times dramatic series of encounters between Aboriginal people and convicts in the second penal settlement in Australia. The fertile valley of the Hunter River was the first area outside the Sydney basin explored by the British, and it became one of the largest penal settlements. Today manicured lawns and prosperous vineyards hide the struggle, violence and toil of the thousands of convicts who laid its foundations. The Convict Valley uncovers this rich colonial past, as well as the story of the original Aboriginal landholders. While there were friendships and alliances in the early years, in the later scramble for land in the 1820s - as the Valley was opened to free settlers - tensions rose and bloodshed ensued. With fascinating stories about convicts, white settlers and the Aboriginal inhabitants that have long been forgotten, The Convict Valley is a new Australian history classic. 'Deeply researched and beautifully written.' - Professor Grace Karskens 'Interweaving the Aboriginal, convict and mining pasts of the Hunter Valley, gifted storyteller Dunn reveals the missing and misunderstood complexities of these histories.' - Professor John Maynard 'In this groundbreaking book, Mark Dunn shows how the Hunter Valley became the heartland of convict Australia.' - Professor Lyndall Ryan

As a child growing up in Newcastle my parents and maternal grandparents treated me and my siblings to excursions to Singleton, Paterson and other Hunter Valley places. Although I enjoyed the mysterious old-world homes of a few remaining Singleton rellies, and although I recall the joy of swimming in the Paterson River, I was puzzled by my parents' special enthusiasm for these places. But even as a child I kind of understood that they loved visiting aged family, and that they were curious about the lives of our long gone Hunter generations. Now, after researching my family history, I understand this affection for these people and places more deeply.For this book I have researched my mother's Hunter Valley ancestors and written accounts of their lives. Some were rural labourers, others were farmers, some were miners, and a few were publicans. Some came to Australia as convicts, but most came free. Some attracted a great deal of notice in the records, others hardly any. My forebears were individuals, each with their unique lives, their own stories, their own highs, and their own lows. Yet, at the same time, they were representative of the British emigrants who moved onto the lands of the Worimi and Wonnarua peoples. I have drawn on family recollections, family photographs and documents, government document archives, the usual BDM certificates, and the wealth of newspaper reports now available on Trove. I have recounted family yarns, but have been careful to verify or modify them in the light of evidence from the records. In lived my working life in Newcastle, Glen Innes, and Wagga Wagga and so have a keen appreciation of country NSW. My mission is to understand people by understanding their place, and to understand place by understanding the people. My key questions is What are these people doing in this place at this time? Special family places in the Hunter include Paterson, Vacy, Eccleston, Singleton, Rix's Creek, Camberwell, Carrowbrook, and Newcastle. I have illustrated the book with images from our family collection, and have scoured archival and other sources for more.

The Star Hotel in Newcastle has become a site of defiance for the marginalized young and dispossessed working class. To understand the whole story of the Star Hotel riot, it should be seen in the context of other moments of resistance such as the 1890 Maritime Strike, Rothbury miners' lockout in 1929 and the recent battle for the Laman Street fig trees. As Australia’s first industrial city, Newcastle is also a natural home of radicalism but until now, the stories which reveal its breadth and impact have remained untold. Radical Newcastlebrings together short illustrated essays from leading scholars, local historians and present day radicals to document both the iconic events of the region’s radical past, and less well known actions seeking social justice for workers, women, Aboriginal people and the environment

Heritage is not what we see in front of us, it is what we make of it in our heads. Heritage sites have been connected to a range of identarian projects, both spatial and non-spatial. One of the most common links with heritage has been national identity. This book stresses that heritage has developed powerful links to regional and local identities. Contributors deal explicitly with regions of heavy industry in different parts of the world, exploring non-spatial forms of identity: including class, religious, ethnic, racial, gender and cultural identities. In many heritage sites, non-spatial forms of identity are interlinked with spatial ones. Civil society action has been important in representations of regional identities and industrial-heritage campaigns. Region-branding seems to determine the ultimate success of industrial heritage, a process that is closely connected to the marketing of regions to provide a viable economic future and attract tourism to the region. Selected case-studies on coal and steel producing regions in this book provide the first global survey of how regions of heavy industry deal with their industrial heritage, and what it means for regional identity and region-branding. This book draws a range of powerful conclusions about the path dependency of particular forms for post-industrial regional identity in former regions of heavy industry. It highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies employed with regard to the regions’ industrial heritage. This book will appeal to lecturers, students and scholars in the fields of heritage management, industrial studies and cultural geography .
