Case Study: Kooba Station

The Shire of Noosa is a local government area about 130 kilometres (81 mi) north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast region of South East Queensland, Australia. The shire covered an area of 868.7 square kilometres (335.4 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1910 until 2008, when it amalgamated with the Shire of Maroochy and City of Caloundra to form the Sunshine Coast Region. The amalgamation occurred despite the 2007 plebiscite in Noosa Shire by the Australian Electoral Commission where 95% of voters rejected

The land was donated and so was the labor. Many of the materials were recycled from the ruins created by the war (Source, 0000).

The Natives donated crops for the soldiers to feed them and provide them energy for the journey.

Between 1860 and 1880 several land reform laws were introduced, intended to halt the monopoly of the squatters by creating a new rural class from the diggers - now experiencing diminishing returns on the goldfields. These laws made available small freeholds of pastoral land for 'selection' by any man or (single) woman over the age of eighteen.... 15

A recruiting hand-bill by George Washington himself even stated that those who enlisted in the Continental Army would receive “a bounty of Twelve dollars…and sixty dollars a year in GOLD, as well as handsome clothing and a large ration of provisions.” With every advertisement similar to this one, in which enlistment is claimed to be accompanied with incentives (usually money or land), empty promises were soon to follow. This was a strong driving force that led men to desert their posts because most soldiers were not getting paid what they had been promised. James Kirby Martin even alludes, in his book Ordinary Courage, to the fact that 100-acre was promised to veterans, but that land never materialized for most of them. He addresses this in context stating, “The truth was, none cared for them; the country was served, and faithfully served, and that was that was deemed necessary. It was, soldiers, look to yourselves; we want no more of you. I hope I shall one day find land enough to lay my bones in. If I chance to die in a civilized country, none will deny me that. A dead body never begs a grave; thanks for that.” Especially with monetary inflation being high during the time of the war, many soldiers deserted the army in order to provide for their families back home. The buying power of the new Continental dollar falls 90% and a number of food riots breakout due to the extreme prices. The lack of financial stability for

The men continued on to Macon and Augusta, still with ammunition and guns in hand. When ordered by their general, the troops listened. Money was scarce and men were not payed highly. However, any small amount of payment they could receive was enough for them.Once done ravaging a settlement, the soldiers were told to take anything that they may need later on in the march. Men carried meat, guns, clothing, ammunition, but destroyed wagons and homes. Sherman’s soldiers could survive at first because the men had knowledge of how to live off of the land.

“This war has turned men into animals,”(Collier, 158) some would say. They usually lived in one room houses without any electricity or running water. Their bathroom and kitchen were in separate buildings, not connected to the house. They usually had low paying, or no paying jobs. Some common jobs during this time were blacksmith, farmer, shoemaker, tailor, cooper, milliner, wheelwright, and printer.

30 years after the colonisation of the Wurundjeri peoples land, Simon Wonga, the Ngurungaeta or headman of the Wurundjeri people, was determined to attain land for his people and applied to the board for a piece of land on which they could farm and maintain. Wonga befriended a Scottish pastor named John Green and his wife Mary Green who shared a common interest in attaining land with him. With Wonga’s approval, they set to educate the Wurundjeri children so that they could adapt to this new colonial world, Mary educated her children along with the Wurundjeri children on the property that they were temporarily residing in, today known as Yering located 50km from Melbourne (Wurundjeri council?). After waiting tirelessly for the government to instruct them on which land they could settle on, Wonga led his people back to their country in 1863 located on the Yarra river in the area known today as Badger

The original inhabitants of the region were the Danggadi people, who lived here for thousands of years. There is evidence of their occupation, such as bora grounds, near Walcha. Geoffrey Blomfield wrote a compelling history of the Aborigines in the district, Baal Belbora, The End of Dancing, The massacre of a peaceful people. In his book, he documents shocking massacres by Europeans.

Local farmers were being warned that, owing to the high prices for cattle at Doncaster Fat Stock Market, no live cattle should be sold for over 74/- per cwt. In a telegram the Food Controller told them specifically that: ‘If there is a serious charge that farmers are unreasonably withholding fat cattle from the market, supplies will be requisitioned and competitive buying stopped.’ On a more positive note, farmers were encouraged to learn that the Army Authorities had agreed to provide a number of soldiers to assist with the harvesting of hay and corn. It was just as well since the Isle, in common with the rest of the country, appeared to be in line for a ‘bounteous harvest.’ Wheat crops were expected to be above average and the potato crop was looking well. In part this was due to an increase in spraying, a procedure that had become much more prevalent over the years of the war. The predictions proved correct; when the

A solution to Team D’s problem depends on what the problem is. Though the problem may seem to be the pile up at Pat Crane (#3) station, I believe this could a symptom of a problem rather than the itself. As stated in the case, the equipment is new leading me to assume Pat at age 58 may not be fully adjusted to using the new equipment. The solution if this is the problem would be to provide more training. Another problem with the symptom of the hold up at Pat’s station is the specific task she performs on the team. In the case it is stated that jobs are of equal difficulty, however, a 58 years old performing the same manual task for numerous years may be the exception. If the problem is that Pat’s health and age are affecting the task she has,

The French also had a chance of acquiring great tracks of land and reorganization of the same into plantations. The small landholders had the option of being laborers in the plantations or having to relocate to other places. In case shortfalls in labor were experienced, the farmers from Vietnam had to be recruited from other outlying villages (Mason 11). These farmers could even come to work voluntarily after being promised that they will have higher wages. In other cases, they were conscripted at gunpoint.
