History

[edit]
City of Armidale subdivision plan, 1895

Before the British colonial settlement of New South Wales, theindigenousAnaiwantribe occupied the area that encompasses current day Armidale.

British pastoralists first entered the region in the early 1830s, following the earlier exploration of the area byJohn Oxley.Oxley recommended the region for grazing, and soon squatters established large leaseholds in the locality. Armidale was initially founded in 1839 byGeorge James MacDonaldwho was theCommissioner of Crown Landsand head of the localBorder Policedetachment in theNew Englanddistrict. MacDonald established his barracks on the site and named it afterArmadaleon theIsle of Skyein Scotland which was the ancestral home of the MacDonald clan.[5]

TheJames Barnet-designedheritage-listedArmidale Post Office opened on 1 April 1843.[6][7]The town, which was surveyed in 1848 and gazetted in 1849, was established to provide a market and administration for the farms, but soon after gold was discovered at nearbyRocky Riverand Gara Gorges, and a gold rush ensued, enlarging the town rapidly in the 1850s. The gold mining settlement ofHillgroveabout 40 km east of Armidale was supplied by electricity from Australia's firsthydro-electricscheme, theGara River Hydro-Electric Scheme,remains of which are still visible on theGara Riverbelow the Blue Hole atCastle Doyle.The nearby town ofUrallaholds the grave of the famousCaptain Thunderbolt– outlaw Fred Ward – who caused trouble in the area in the 1860s. As withNed Kelly,the locals have adopted him as alarrikinhero and make the most of him as a tourist attraction.

Armidale became a municipality in 1863[8]and was proclaimed acityin 1885.

Although it does not lie between the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne, a site just to the south of Armidale was, in the early 1900s, considered as a potential site for Australia's federal capital. Some saw its northerly location as better suited to all three eastern mainland states, including Queensland.[9][10][11]Later, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, Armidale was one of the centres ofseparatistagitation by theNew England New State Movement.Local politician,David Drummond,a strong supporter of the movement, successfully lobbied for Armidale to have the second teachers' college in New South Wales,[12]and later auniversity,[13]positioning the town as a potential state capital.

Geography

[edit]

Armidale is on the banks of Dumaresq Creek, in the Northern Tablelands in theNew Englandregion about midway between Sydney and Brisbane at an altitude (980 mAHD)[14]ranging from 970 metres at the valley's floor to 1,110 metres above sea level at the crests of the hills. A short distance to the east of Armidale are heavily forested steepgorgesdropping down to the eastern coastal plain. Large parts of the highlands are covered byPalaeozoicagedmetamorphosedsedimentary rocks.Intruding into these meta-sediments aregraniteplutonswhich decompose to form sandy soil, slightly deficient in nutrients. There are also basalt flows which are more fertile for the soil substrates. Those areas away from the deep gorge country tend to display gently undulating terrain mainly used forpasturesand where granites occur the areas are usually covered in bushland.

The area contains a number of places of outstanding natural beauty and scientific interest as well as severalWorld Heritagenational parks including theNew England National Parkand theOxley Wild Rivers National Park.To the west isMount YarrowyckNature Reserve. The critically endangeredNew England Peppermint Grassy Woodlandis the main vegetation community in the region.[15]

The coastal plain can be reached directly atCoffs HarbourviaWaterfall WaytoDorrigoandBellingenon theBellinger River,a two-hour drive.

Woodsmoke pollution, Armidale, 27 May 2011

During winter there is a problem with some air quality reduction caused by the use of solid fuel domestic wood heaters.[16]A peer-reviewed study carried out by the University of New England in 2007 found winter woodsmoke causes 8.8 additional visits per day to GPs in Armidale for respiratory complaints, i.e., about 750 additional visits per year.[17]Another peer-reviewed study estimated the use of wood heaters in Armidale was responsible for about 11.5 premature deaths per year with estimated annual health cost of $14.95 million – about $4720 per year for every woodheater in the city.[18]

Climate

[edit]

Armidale has asubtropical highland climate(Köppen:Cfb[19]). Armidale's elevation gives it a milder climate than most of northern New South Wales, but the summers are still very warm. Winters are long and cool, with many frosty nights.Snowfallis rare, on average only one day in every three years.

Rologas Fields during autumn

In Armidale, the presence of four distinct seasons makes it climatically unlike much of inland Australia; hence, the "New England" moniker and theautumn coloursare notable features of the city. Summers are characterised by warm to very warm days followed almost always by cool, sometimes cold, nights. Thunderstorms often produce heavy falls of rain and occasionally hail in the afternoons and early evenings, also bringing a sudden drop in temperature. Unlike nearby coastal areas, Armidale does not usually experience high humidity levels making most of the summer days quite comfortable. Temperatures exceed 30 °C or 86 °F on an average of 13 afternoons per year, but rarely reach higher than 35 °C or 95 °F.[20]The highest temperature recorded at Armidale Airport was 37.1 °C (98.8 °F), recorded in February 2017. As the leaves turn yellow and fall, day temperatures are mostly still warm, particularly in March and April.[citation needed]Days are sunny, the thunderstorm season is over, and rain becomes more sporadic. Nights become colder, and residents often awake to a thick fog blanketing the Armidale valley, but by 9 am fogs have cleared to be followed by a bright sunny day. The year's first frosts usually occur in April, but they are not severe.[citation needed]

Winters are cold; overnight temperatures drop below −5 °C or 23 °F withfroston the ground; at the Tree Group Nursery station a reading as low as −11.2 °C or 11.8 °F was record on 30 June 2010, whilst the older station at Radio 2AD recorded −9.3 °C or 15.3 °F on 15 July 1970.[21]These cold frosty mornings are usually followed by sunny days. Day temperatures may make it as high as 16 °C or 60.8 °F, but sometimes may not climb beyond 10 °C or 50 °F.[20]These are typical Northern Tablelands winter days with westerly winds, bleak grey clouds, and showers of rain and very occasionallysnow.Rainfall during the winter months is not infrequent but is usually light.[citation needed]

In spring temperatures are warmer, although occasional morning frosts still can continue well into October. September is usually a pleasantly mild but windy month, and by late October with increasing heat and humidity the thunderstorm season is starting with increasing rainfalls.[citation needed]The spring months produce the most variable weather of the year. A week of very warm sunny weather can be followed by several milder days with temperatures right back at winter levels before gradually warming up again. This cycle often repeats itself many times until the start of summer.[citation needed]

The Catholic Cathedral of St Mary and St Joseph was dedicated on 12 December 1919.

The city centre is laid out in a grid of streets. The main street is called Beardy Street, named for two of the founding settlers who had beards.[29]The court house was built in the 1850s and is still a prominent feature of the central district. Much of the rest of the city is residential.

The AustralianWoolFashion Awards, which showcases the use ofMerinowool by fashion designers, are hosted by Armidale in March each year. The AutumnFestivalis a popular annual event of April in Armidale. The festival features a street parade, stalls and celebrations throughout the city. It is a regular part of the city's attractions, often promoting Armidale's diverse culture (for instance, posters set up by council attempt to attract tourists with the motto "Foodies Thrive in Armidale" ) and autumn colours.
