The Act&#8217;s clear denial of the Aborigines&#8217; rights to land, was modified by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Letters_Patent_establishing_the_Province_of_South_Australia\">Letters Patent<\/a> (1836), which recognised the prior rights of the Aborigines to the land, guaranteed that &#8216;any lands now actually occupied or enjoyed by [the] Natives would not be alienated&#8217;,  and that any land opened up for public sale had to be voluntarily ceded and fairly purchased from the Aborigines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The <em>Letters Patent<\/em>  was ignored  in the new settler colony.  The lands were declared open for public sale and no attempts were made to negotiate with the aboriginal people  for the voluntary transfer of their lands. It was the settler state that denied citizen and subject status to Indigenous people , whilst  British law failed to punish settlers for their v<a href=\"https:\/\/australianfrontierconflicts.com.au\/timelines\/some-known-conflicts-in-south-australia\/\">iolent acts <\/a>against Aboriginal people.   There was a history of settler secrecy and solidarity and British law worked to protect settler interests and establish settler sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I was interested in this forgotten history as the Ngadjuri people had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molawyers.com.au\/news-events\/news\/ngadjuri-nation-consent-determination\">won a native title claim<\/a> over 15,000 square kilometres encompassing Kapunda, Burra, Clare, Orroroo, Peterborough and Yunta in 2023 that had been  first filed in 2011. This result indicates that European colonialism triggered a set of responses which speak of Aboriginal agency, adaptation and survival based on riding the shocks and trauma of white colonialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So what was the history of Aboriginal\u2012European confrontation in the mid-north&#8217;s frontier? There were a <a href=\"https:\/\/australianfrontierconflicts.com.au\/maps\/conflict-map-of-south-australia\/\">number of massacres i<\/a>n this region  as I had suspected. Some of the locations are known even  though  the  historical details are sparse.   My question was: were there any traces of the colonial encounters in the present?   I didn&#8217;t find any traces on  this trip. There were grave stones for white settlers but none  for the Ngadjuri people they killed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So how do you photograph what no longer exists and yet is the spectre that haunts our present?  The process of haunting means that the past is inside the present. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-814x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sinar F 5x4 monorail\" class=\"wp-image-8080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-814x1024.jpg 814w, https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-768x966.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-1221x1536.jpg 1221w, https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones-1628x2048.jpg 1628w, https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/SAmalleemidnorthbones.jpg 1987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">haunted presence, SA Mallee  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When I camped overnight in the <a href=\"https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/claypans\/\">Claypans<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/copeville\/\">Copeville<\/a> region of  the SA Mallee I made an initial and crude attempt at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hauntology\">hauntology <\/a>(Jacques Derrida) using a 5&#215;4 Sinar F monorail whilst inside an old rubbish pit on the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Upon returning to the studio I did some research. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jacques_Derrida\">Derrida <\/a>held that hauntology describes the haunting of a historicised present by spectres that cannot be \u2018ontologised\u2019 away. This challenges the basic binary oppositions like \u2018alive \/ dead\u2019, \u2018present \/ absent\u2019 and \u2018past \/ present\u2019 and so spectres are \u2018deconstructive\u2019 in relation to white colonial history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This suggests that a more sophisticated interpretation to <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/fs\/article\/59\/3\/373\/638853\">hauntology <\/a>would be to construct an image that has two layers: the second layer deconstruct the first layer with the latter only being seen through the medium of the second layer. I&#8217;m not sure how to do that in relation to our white colonial history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This photo below is of a gravestone in an old cemetery near Mintaro and Manoora that I came across as I made my way from the Clare Valley across the Tothill Range to the Murray Mallee via Robertstown to Morgan. &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/malleeroutes.com\/wp\/near-manoora\/\" aria-label=\"near Manoora + hauntology\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kt_blocks_editor_width":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18,70,107,23],"tags":[108,45,9],"class_list":["post-7931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture","category-archives","category-hauntology","category-mallee-blog","tag-hauntology","tag-history","tag-south-australia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>near Manoora + hauntology - Mallee Routes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I was looking for traces of aboriginal history and colonial encounters with the white settlers in this part of the mid-north to the west of the Tothill Ranges.
