'George Goyder introduced settler Australians to the idea of variability of climate, and the limits to agricultural possibilities for the inland. He is a foundational figure in the Northern Territory, where he selected and laid out the site of Palmerston (Darwin) and established settlement after previous attempts had failed, at the same time coming to acknowledge the position of the traditional owners. Effectively manager of all crown land, and the government's 'universal genius', he took on remarkable roles, from establishing forestry and protection of native forests to the drainage of the South-East. Goyder was South Australia's surveyor general 1861-1894, and a landscape author on a major scale, laying out the pattern of settlement across much of rural SA.
In central South Australia the area beyond Goyder's Line, as it had come to be known, is marked by the ruins they left. Thousands of people took up farming on land that proved ultimately unable to sustain them. When he attempted to adapt the pattern of settlement to climatic reality by defining the border of the zone of reliable rainfall, his repeated warnings about the threat of drought were scorned. His experience put him decades ahead of his contemporaries in understanding the Australian climate. Goyder was the first European explorer to see great salt lakes in the inland in flood and to witness the amazing transformation that follows the breaking of drought. It is a story of relevance to the history of settlement in Australia as a whole.
#GEORGE GOYDER BOOK COLLECTOR FULL#
The book tells the story of his life and work for the first time in full and in the context of a contemporary understanding of climate. For a period, he was dogged as well by unrelenting tragedy in his personal life. Renowned for 'energy', honesty, determination and resilience, as a tough bushman with an unparalleled knowledge of the South Australian environment and as a manager and administrator of great ability, he was at the centre of conflicts over land and resources for much of his career, and had to endure fierce criticism and misunderstanding. Gerorge Goyder's name was a household word in his lifetime. Dust jacket is bright and clean, with creases along the lower edges, gently scuffed tip of the upper front corner. Boards show a touch of scuffing to spine ends, a short crease in lower outer corner of front panel, a horizontal crease mid-spine.
