This article describes the history of the Fine Island in Norfolk Bay, Tasmania. The island is also known as Taman Island . These names are derived from the topography of the wavy island and lush vegetation when compared to rocky land. It has been privately owned since 1864.
Video History of Smooth Island (Tasmania)
History
Prior to the European settlement, the Forestier Peninsula in eastern Smooth Island is believed to have been occupied by the Pydairrerme tribe of the Oyster Bay (Paredarerme) tribe of Aboriginal Tasmanians. They speak Paredarerme. There is no recorded evidence of the remaining Paredarerme people in the region after the 1830s.
European Settlement
In 1793 Jean-Baptiste Philibert Willaumez (of the Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux expedition) was the first Anglo-Saxon to discover the Island of Fine. The island is found on the map d'Entrecasteaux, although not mentioned by name.
On December 15, 1798 Matthew Flinders was the first Anglo-Saxon to set foot on Smooth Island. He paused to take the cushion and spend two nights on the island. He described his impression of the island:
[They] moved to another island which, from a distance, looked very interesting. At close range, the island looks just as beautiful from afar. The surface is smooth and the texture of the soil contains a wealth that is rarely found in unplanted fields. It is estimated that there are at least one hundred acres of good agricultural land and produce. But the unhappy and unhappy part of this seemingly natural path taken by the lifeboat is the vision rejection by ship personnel from a crucial land that will be of great importance to them.
However, the "Fine Island", as they call it right, is really delicious and spares them two exciting days exploring the landscape and absorbing its charm and beauty. They observed that Aboriginal people visit this beautiful place, many visits because of its garden-like quality compared to the mainland's rocky terrain, which although carved and contains many kangaroos, look rough and unattractive compared to their "Garden". Island ", a title that is finally obtained.
Flinders charts the island and travels through the region on the map of Terra Australis - By M Flinders - 1798-1799 - South Coast, Sheet VI . He described the initial impression of sailing east from Doughboy Island in Frederick Henry Bay to Norfolk Bay:
Country on the east side of the bay, rocky; and, wherever we land, is very barren. The islands have a better appearance. Fine Island, contains about a hundred acres of land, which may answer for a garden: its soil shallow and sandy.
He seemed surprised by the maritime abilities of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people:
The native Frederick Henry Bay, has several ways of transporting it with water; because they have visited Betsey's Island, the Isle of Caves, Smooth Island, and Gull Island; and, perhaps, others. It has been accepted that the residents of Van Diemen's Land have no canoes; and, after our observations are limited to the Derwent River, we should join in that opinion.
In [i] A Voyage to Terra Australis he wrote, "Smooth Island [...] is three quarters of a mile long, and is covered with grass and some small trees.This has been visited by natives, as is the Isle of "In the same text he also said," Of the four islands in the bay, the Fine and Gull Islands are found superior in fertility to the mainland: the first contains about 40 acre [16Ã, ha] tolerable pasture ".
1800s
Role in completion of Risdon Cove custody
Conclusion:
- April 22, 1804: an attempted rebellion took place at Risdon Cove convict settlement
- April 28: Bowen (Commander of the Risdon settlement) personally brought eight Irish prisoners to Smooth island using his own ship.
- Bowen then explores the Huon River for a few days, based on recreation.
- May 3: (in the absence of Bowen): Risdon is attacked by aborigines.
- May 6: The King instructs Collins to take over the Risdon settlement command
- May 8: Collins orders Bowen to remove prisoners from Smooth Island.
- August 9: Risdon settlement is relocated to Sullivan Cove, while Bowen and the majority of inmates are moved back to Sydney.
From "Early Tasmanian History", Volume 2, by Ronald Worthy Giblin:
On April 22, a small rebellion took place over the increasingly increasing question of the watchman, and he also learned that there was a plan among the prisoners to take over the Risdon settlement, a movement they expected to join others from Sullivan Cove. Strong measures are taken to address this threat; the rebel soldiers were sent by Collins to Sydney on the Integrity cutter, who had made it to Sullivan Cove from Kent's Bay, and on 28 April Bowen went on his ship to Norfolk Bay, taking eight of his' brave characters and despairing, 'as Collins described,' all Irish, 'as Knopwood wrote in his journal, to place them on Smooth Island (Plate II, Vol. I). We must note the process that reaches this climax. England fires a lot of its waste across the ocean to 'Botany Bay.' Super-saturation has happened there, and the same desire has emerged to get rid of some of the worst of the trash, it was sent to Risdon. Since there is no way in Risdon to deal with despair characters, the selected element, the worst, is placed on the island on a monthly basis. Increase your results from the UK and some substitutes must be found for the island, as you can not go in large numbers if you have no walls or supports to hold them. And 'reject' has such diverse characters as social class in England. ( page 16 )
When Bowen has kept his bars on Smooth Island, he travels, perhaps for pleasure, to the Huon River. His absence from office was unfortunate, for on 3 May an incident occurred at Risdon, a collision between the Europeans there and a large number of indigenous people, who may have been handled differently and better if the Commander was present. This is the first major clash of long series between Britain and blacks on the island. "( page 17 )
On May 6, 1804, the King asked Collins to take over the Risdon settlement command from Bowen. After taking over, Collins decides to relocate the Risdon settlement to Sullivan Cove, leaving Bowen in charge of Risdon until the move is over. On 8 May Collins issued the following instruction to Bowen:
(..) the eight men stationed by Bowen on Pulau Kosus are brought back and continue to work under strict supervision, and full preparation is made for delivery to Sydney from all those whom the Lieutenant Governor does not wish to defend. In the end nine prisoners, especially mechanics, are considered worthy of being kept in Derwent. (..) The Ocean sailed to Sydney on August 9, taking Commander John Bowen, (..) and the inmate's main gang. (..) The ship's departure marked the end of Risdon Cove as a settlement, and the site's condition was converted into a more suitable, peaceful silence of farmland. ( page 21 )
In 1824 Thomas Scott conducted a survey of Tasmania, producing detailed maps. Extract the map shown on the right, with Smooth Island labeled as 'Garden Island'.
On February 15, 1836, the Fine Island was defined as lying within the area of ​​Pembroke.
On February 10, 1837, Captain Charles O'Hara Booth (Port Arthur funeral commander) woke up in Slopin Main and traveled to Smooth Island to spend a day hunting with his partner, Ramsay.
Rose betimes - dilly howling to 8 A.M. cross over to Garden Island pick up Guns & amp; Dogs - Ramsay & amp; self bagged 15 Couple & amp; half - Shot between us six couples - Killing myself 5 out of 7 shots - got into the Settlement pretty tired with 8 1/2 P.M. Delayed like a boss - black as tinkers.
On September 17, 1839, Smooth Island was offered for sale as part of the 'Estate of Fulham'.
THE ESTATE OF FULHAM. TOGETHER about 3000 hectares, locates in the East Bay Neck, bordered by Gulf, Crown Land, and Tuan. Crocker and Steele. As Agriculture Agriculture, this Plantation has a rarity that can not be fulfilled; 250 acres of rich wheat land is already in the highest level of cultivation, covered and divided by a large fence. Homestead is the most important and complete, with a nice garden and excellent water. The Residence (newly established) consists of 15 apartments, suitable for first family honors. Results can be sent from the warehouse door. The title can not be reached; Taman Island is included in the Grant. For more details, apply to T. Y. LOW. N.B. - Liberal credit will be granted, at 8 percent, interest, and any amount of stock can be taken on an assessment by the buyer.
Captain Charles O'Hara Booth liked the idea of ​​owning an island; in 1839 he applied to the Ministry of Land and Surveys to buy the Island Fine but was told that, although the lease could be arranged, the ownership of all the islands was reserved for the government.
A publication from 2011 suggests Smooth Island may have been used to grow vegetables for the Port Arthur cemetery settlement, which operated from 1833-1853. However this claim has not been verified.
On February 19, 1863 Thomas Reid commissioned a general surveyor, James Erskine Calder, to assess the island. In his research, Calder determined that the island was 146 acres (59 ha), light wood, with about 40 acres (16 ha) suitable for agriculture with little or no vacant land. He believed that the remaining parts of the soil could be cleaned or burned for grazing. He considered the water on the island good quality but not proven for livestock needs. The island's east coast was found to have the best landing, and has been fixed in four places, Calder believes, for whaling operations conducted at Norfolk Bay. There are several mineral exploration for blue and iron granite, although no beds are found. Calder evaluated the island as "worth Ã, Â £ 2 per acre".
On April 14, 1863 Smooth Island, classified as agricultural farming at the time, was designated for sale at a public auction on April 23 of the following year, in accordance with the Land Lands Act. Some key clauses of the action are explained. It was originally listed for a minimum selling price of Ã, Â £ 227. Thomas Gabriel Reid commissioned a detailed survey of the island that took place between 10 and 14 July 1863 ( see inset survey report ). It seems that Thomas Gabriel Reid bought the island on April 21, 1864 for only 155 pounds. A "Thomas G. Baca" was recorded as living in the nearby town of Sorell in 1866. On October 31, 1894 Thomas Gabriel Baca died in New Norfolk at the age of 70. He is the second son of Captain G. F. Read. Thomas Gabriel Read is a leading gold miner. A detailed biography of Thomas Gabriel Read is available.
On November 8, 1869, Lieutenant Colonel Mundy said, "The wooded Garden Island is lying in the jaws [Norfolk Bay]", which shows that clear clearing has not yet occurred on the island.
On April 4, 1870, a sailor traveling through Pulau Halus wrote in a local newspaper,
Taman Island is a peaceful residence of two or three families, and its cultivated appearance makes its name quite appropriate. Water is abundant, but in the dry season, brackish, and this place is well adapted for stock maintenance, something that is not lost.
On March 14, 1878, a newspaper article reported "[In] Norfolk Bay, about two miles from the East Bay Neck, located Garden Island, which is being cultivated, and produces excellent plants".
On July 26, 1878, Smooth Island was sold at auction for £ 400. Prior to its sale, the real estate agent had advertise as:
[...] contains 145 acres [59Ã, ha] the most superior soil, almost everything that has been cultivated, and now the most fertile of grass, and well watered in the driest season. [...] For the richness of the soil and the production of roots and heavy grains, this property is unrivaled in Tasmania.
On August 5, 1878, Garden Island's new owner, James Quested, published a notice in the newspaper warning that he would prosecute fishermen, artisans or other unauthorized people on the island.
On June 2, 1883, the island was again advertised for personal sales.
FOR PERSONAL SALES, GARDEN ISLAND, in Norfolk Bay, occupied by Mr. Quested. It contains 145 acres of superior, well-divided land, mostly under cultivation; with a guesthouse. The Pinafore passes thrice a week. ROBERTS & amp; Co., Murray-street
On June 14, 1884, a local newspaper reported, "The Garden Island, about 100 acres, is located about a mile from the northern boundary of the King George King, the Forestier's Peninsula, occupied, and seems to have good soil by the newly changed soil from the paddock, and have on it the buildings and equipment of the average farm. "On November 19, 1889, an advertisement in the local newspaper offered" 100 fat slethers from Garden Island ". From December 3, 1893 to December 1894, the island was advertised for personal sales:
On July 14, 1894, Captain Jones and the whaler's crew (in the Taranna whaling barracks) "moved their residence from Slopen Island {{[}} Sloping Island {{}}} to Taman Island, because it is believed that 3 whales have been seen around {{[}} King George Sound {{]}} ". The expedition was unsuccessful and returned to Hobart on July 16, 1894.
On December 8, 1894, the island was advertised for sale. Description shows that fresh water is available on the island, in accordance with "Spring" find survey map 1863:
Garden Island, Norfolk Bay, nice land, water, for sale. Capt de Hoghton, Brighton.
In January 1895, a real estate agent was used. It seems that all the trees have been cleared from the island at this stage. The island was advertised as, "146 Acre Grass Land, suitable for cultivation." Easy Terms. "R. DARLING, Agent, 54, Murray-street."
The UK conducted a survey of the Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay ( a.k.a. North Bay) in 1894, producing a map seen to the right. It was published on October 1, 1925
1900s
On January 4, 1900, a Mercury reader demanded a lighthouse placed on Taman Island. Smooth Island was owned by Samuel Nicholas Wellard in the early 1900s. He is a famous sheep breeder who lives in Forcett, Tasmania. He died in August 1934.
On November 16, 1903, Police Commissioner (Mr. G. Richardson) received a telegram, hinting that Stella's fishing boat had disappeared from the Fine Island. A man named Netherton, and the other, drowned. No special information.
On August 7, 1905, a report described the docking at Smooth Island on one of the first lines through the Denison Canal:
Storm Bay and Norfolk Bay are respectively skipped, and then we see Garden Island, opposite Dunalley, which is really worth mentioning its name, and a long dock, destined to disappear, where passengers have until now been exhausted. Here we go to an old fishing boat, which has been 30 years in this section, and knows the depth of every inch of the road.
On August 21, 1914, Chris Wellard, the nephew of Smooth Island owner, died mysteriously after sailing away from the island. The Mercury reported on August 25 that Chris Wellard, a Forester's Peninsula resident, had brought the sheep from Smooth Island to the SS Breone and then dumped with the intention of returning to the mainland. Three days later, his ship was found a few miles away, floating upside down, with one of the three dogs with him in hull. On September 2, Mercury reported that after transporting sheep to Breone, Wellard returned to the island and loaded his boat with about 300 kg of fish droppings, a sheep and three dogs. The Breone offered to pull Wellard to the mouth of King George's Sound on the west side of the Forestrier's Peninsula, which is near Wellard's house. However, as it progressed, the lifeboat began to take water on its bow and was thrown away. Wellard immediately turned to the island pier, which was only 200 yards away, while Breone lost sight of him at a point. On September 4th, S. N. Wellard writes that fish excrement, extraordinarily loaded in the bow of the ship, will become heavier as it absorbs water. He suggested that his nephew had tried to lighten the canoe and caused an imbalance, the front down before rolling.
In August 1917, 92 cows, "fattened in Garden Island, down to Port Arthur Street" were exported to Victoria. Some livestock-clearing sales occurred throughout 1919. This reference indicates the sale of clearing due to the recent sale of the island. The family that owns the island (immediately before the current owner) got it in 1927.
In 1936, the Tasmanian Wildlife Refuge and the Acclimatization Society, assisted by the Council for the Protection of Animals and Birds, imported 110 European gray chickens to Tasmania from England, costing Ã, Â £ 150. They were released with Tasmania at Smooth Island, Marrawah, Whiteford , and Colebrook. By 1950 these birds had disappeared. The gray European partridge is not established anywhere in Australia, at present.
A newspaper article from the 1940s showed that the Bellerive Yacht Club held an annual boat race around the Island Fine.
On April 9, 1946, Barclay Gray posted the following notice in a local newspaper:
No hunting or photo shoots are allowed in Fulham, Garden, or Low Island. Trespassers prosecuted. S B. Gray, Dunalley.
Prior to ownership change, Smooth Island was mainly used as pasture for livestock. It was reported that on some occasions up to 600 sheep will be grazing on the island simultaneously.
Marine survey
Between February 1995 and December 1996, a trawl beam was placed inside the Zostera tasmanica site on the east coast of Smooth Island. Common name (taxa): total individual fish (% catch) reported as follows: Little Rock Whiting ( Neoodax balteatus ): 1262 (49.8%); Bridled Leatherjacket ( Acanthaluteres spilomelanurus ): 966 (38.2%); Spotted Pipefish ( Stigmatopora argus ): 90 (3.6%); Soldierfish ( Gymnapistes marmoratus ): 56 (2.2%); Crested Weedfish ( Cristiceps australis ): 45 (1.8%); South Cardinal Fish ( Vincentia conspersa ): 21 (0.8%); Port Phillip Pipefish ( Vanacampus phillipi ): 15 (0.6%); Sand Flathead ( Platycephalus bassensis ): 14 (0.6%); Girdle Goby ( Nesogobius sp.1): 12 (0,5%); Goby Colored Orange ( Nesogobius hinisbyi ): 7 (0.3%); Red Cod ( Pseudophycis bachus ): 6 (0.2%); Leatherjacket Toothbrush ( Acanthaluteres vittiger ): 6 (0.2%); Red Rock Cod ( Helicolenus barathri ): 5 (0.2%); Half-Banded Pipefish ( Mitotichthys semistriatus ): 4 (0.2%); Adelaide Weedfish ( Heteroclinus adelaidae ): 4 (0.2%); Common Weedfish ( Heteroclinus perspicillatus ): 4 (0.2%); Leatherjacket Six-Spined ( Meuschenia freycineti ): 4 (0.2%); Castelnau Goby ( Nesogobius pulchellus ): 2 (0.1%); Greenback Flounder ( Rhombosolea tapirina ): 2 (0.08%); Pot Bellied Seahorse ( Hippocampus abdominalis ): 1 (0.04%); Spotted Flounder ( Ammotretis rostratus ): 1 (0.04%); Richardson's Hardyhead ( Atherinason hepsetoides ): 1 (0.04%); Long Snouted Flounder (Ammotretis rostratus): 1 (0.04%) Leatherjacket Brownstriped ( Meuschenia australis ): 1 (0.04%); Pigmy Leatherjacket ( Brachaluteres jacksonianus ): 1 (0.04%).
2000s
Between 2003 and 2007 Smooth Island was leased to local oyster farmers to transport oyster stock to and from the processing facility at Boomer Bay.
The island is reportedly worth A $ 1,650,000 in 2010.
Satellite images show that Tasmania forest fires in 2013 did not burn the Island Fine.
During 2013, Smooth Island is advertised for sale, with the following description:

Smooth Island is located in Norfolk Bay surrounded by historic landscapes Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas. The island is only a short boat trip from the slopes of the launch, with ramps as close as Murdunna and Dunalley. On the east side there is a pier located in a well-protected harbor from the northwest to the south-western winds. Deeper water crossings on the west coastline provide a good shelter from the wind with eastern components. The island has been planted for years and currently provides winter grazing up to 600 hoggets [young sheep]. In addition to grassland there are several forest trees, especially Eucalyptus globulus and Allocasuarina stricta. There are also some old Macrocarpas erected on the site where a hut once stood. The concentrated vegetation around the coastline contributes to a very pleasant and inviting beach margin along the sanctuary to be found in almost any weather.

Owner history
Thomas Gabriel Read
Tasmanian gold miner Thomas Gabriel Read started Otago Gold Rush. He was born in Tasmania, the second son of Captain G. F. Read. Between 1861 and 1864 he sought gold in New Zealand. He received a prize of £ 1,000 and had returned to Tasmania in 1864, where he bought Smooth Island. He bought it from the sale of the government's crown land for £ 155, a significant discount from the asking price of £ 227 advertised a week earlier. Thomas Read is said to have farmed in 1865. He married Amelia Mitchell on January 2, 1869. He was admitted to a mental hospital from 1887 until he died in 1894.
Edward James Pillinger
Edward James Pillinger was married on September 5, 1857 to Amelia Little, who dealt with Mr. E Vimpany. Pillinger claimed life on the island August 20, 1867, and Pillingers had a daughter, with an unknown name, born July 22, 1874. Pillinger was involved in a financial dispute with Read, the island's previous owner. Pillinger was found dead on the run of Mr Neil Lewis at Milford, Cambridge on June 8, 1878, in a state of advanced decomposition. He's 50 years old. A re-examination provides an open verdict, but by being given a partially empty strychnine bottle found near the corpse, poisoning is considered the cause of death. Mr Pillinger's wife, Amelia, died in Pulau Halus on October 1, 1876 after a 'short and painful' disease. Mr. Pillinger probably sold the island between 1877 and 1878. Edward Pillinger was Lord Vimpany's brother-in-law.
Henry Charles Vimpany
Vimpany meninggal 22 Desember 1909.
James Head Quested
James Head Quested was born in 1819 in Kent, England to Jane Seath (1791-1881, died in Hobart) and James Quested (1791-1877, died in Hobart). On January 6, 1827 his father was sentenced to life in prison for assisting and abetting with smugglers; he was transported from London to Tasmania on board the Prefect Governor and received conditional pardon on March 9, 1839.
James Head Quested became a mariner master and married Anne Mack ( a.k.a. Ann Macnamara) on October 17, 1842 in Hobart. The couple live on Halus Island. In 1851 James Head Quested joined the Bendigo gold rush with John Rowlands (from Brushy Plains) and a man named 'Bannan' - the group was "quite successful" there. Included is owned by ship Boomerang and traded between Tasmania, New Zealand and Australia mainland. He testified that a man boarded the ship in a drunken and fighting manner. When Boomerang was stranded, Quested was accused of exaggerating the severity of the damage to obtain undeserved charity from the public.
Determined then moved to Garden Island (he hired him from Mr. E Vimpany or bought it himself) and started a slaughtering business. On April 13, 1871, sheep dog James Quested died. He suspects it has been poisoned and offers a $ 10 reward for information that leads to confidence. Anne Mack is a drunkard, has a very long and complicated criminal record and is known for having a "very weak temperament". The Daly and Quested families have a long and bitter history of small conflicts that are often broadcast in public, starting at least during the year 1872. In 1872 Anne Mack reportedly had a public quarrel with John Daly, where he broke windows, using foul language and throwing flesh bone to him. On May 15-16, 1877, Mack was sentenced to two months of manual labor for injuring his daughter, Sarah Quested, with a knife.
On 28 May 1878, James Quested filed a notice in a newspaper calling for all his financial accounts (debt and credit) to be settled, stating that his lawyer would seek to recover the outstanding debt on June 10, 1878. Regardless of his finances. difficulty, on August 19, 1878, Quested took the unusual decision to "buy Smooth Island from Henry Vimpany for £ 400." Aim to obtain at least four mortgages on the property and loss of court cases ( Adkins v. Quested , 1880) for unpaid wages. In 1883, the police who served this call (Mr. Newitt) took the Sorrell Police Inspector (Houghton Forrest - the next owner of Smooth Island) to court appearing in court for not replacing him for the cost of a trip to Smooth Island to serve Quested and Townsend with their calls "> By the end of 1880, Quested was called in to appear in court as part of this financial dispute . Prosecuted forced to sell the island through a public auction on 15 November 1880 due to a court order ( Daly v. Quested , 1880). Interestingly, police superintendent Houghton Forrest (a court of appeals court for the Sorell municipality), forcing Quested to sell the island, bought the island himself. (Title deed indicated on 5 February 1881, Houghton Forrest transferred Ã, Â £ 70 to George Herbert Bailey, future owner of the island).
On 18 November 1880 Quested continued to occupy the house and 145 acre of land, paying Ã, Â £ 25 rent per year to E Vimpany. In 1881 he was arrested for failing to comply with a subpoena and was held responsible for paying an employee's salary. Quested continued to occupy the guesthouse on Smooth Island when owned by George Herbert Bailey (who held deed from 11 February 1881 to 16 January 1884), and reportedly remained on the island until at least June 6, 1883. Nothing is known to record Quested occupying the island during one of the ownership period Capt Thomas de Houghton (16 Jan 1884 to 4 October 1897). In 1886, Jamed Quested was accused of abandoning his illegitimate child in Prahran, Victoria. Quested died March 30, 1892 (On Walker street, Redfern, Sydney). She is buried in Church of England section B No.47 at Cornelian Bay Cemetery, Hobart.
Captain Haughton Forrest
Capt Forrest seems to have lived in Sandy Bay and moved to the area sometime around 1876. Forrest is an artist but also a Police Inspector. He was appointed the Jurusita of the Crown lands in the municipality of Sorell. He must face an uprising at Sorell, led by Mr. Trooper Newitt, due to a salary dispute. Forrest and Newitt went to court over the cost of disputed boat transportation to Smooth Island. Details of the dispute are as follows: In 1880, Newitt, a policeman from the Sorell municipality, had to go to Smooth Island to summon Quested and Townsend, another man who lived on the island, to court. Newitt had to pay a boatman to transport it and try to reclaim this fee in court from Forrest, the police inspector and his boss at Sorell. Interestingly, between October 25, 1880 and November 15, 1880, Captain Forrest then proceeded to sell Quested titles, rights and interests on Halus Island at a public auction at Sorell police station. The title deed shows, on February 5, 1881, Haughton Forrest transferred Ã, Â £ 70 to George Herbert Bailey, the future owner of the island. Captain Forrest may have acquired the island for 3 to 4 months before being sold to Bailey.
George Herbert Bailey
The title shows that Bailey bought the island from Forrest on February 11, 1881. Bailey sold his possessions on March 17, 1882, before leaving the colony.

Thomas had attempted to sell the island between December 9, 1893 and January 12, 1895. However, it may not be sold during this period. On April 15, 1911 he made a comment in a newspaper relating to workers' rights. He probably kept the island until before his death, in line with clearing sales in 1919.
