  • An indigenous reservation in the colony of Victoria, Australia, the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station was a major site of cross-cultural contact the mid-nineteenth century and early twentieth. Coranderrk was located just outside Melbourne, and from its opening in the 1860s the colonial government commissioned many photographs of its Aboriginal residents.The photographs taken at Coranderrk Station circulated across the western world; they were mounted in exhibition displays and classified among other ethnographic “data” within museum collections
  • The immense Coranderrk photographic archive is the subject of this detailed, richly illustrated examination of the role of visual imagery in the colonial project. Offering close readings of the photographs in the context of Australian history and nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century photographic practice, Jane Lydon reveals how western society came to understand Aboriginal people through these images
  • At the same time, she demonstrates that the photos were not solely a tool of colonial exploitation. The residents of Coranderrk had a sophisticated understanding of how they were portrayed, and they became adept at manipulating their representations
  • Lydon shows how the photographic portrayals of the Aboriginal residents of Coranderrk changed over time, reflecting various ideas of the colonial mission—from humanitarianism to control to assimilation. In the early twentieth century, the images were used on stereotypical postcards circulated among the white population, showing what appeared to be compliant, transformed Aboriginal subjects. The station closed in 1924 and disappeared from public view until it was rediscovered by scholars years later. Aboriginal Australians purchased the station in 1998, and, as Lydon describes, today they are using the Coranderrk photographic archive in new ways, to identify family members and tell stories of their own

Really great ball
Our yo German Shepard loves this ball. She can get hold of it on all sides. Really a tough toy. Hasn’t chewed it up. Loves to toss it herself.

Brilliant Ball
This is my dog, Sunnie, favorite toy besides a mostly flat basketball. The toy has some weight to it, but it isn’t too heavy for her (she’s a husky mix, maybe 25lbs and is 6-months old). The ball is the perfect size for medium and large dogs, has a lot of bounce, and is easy for Sunnie to pick up with her mouth because the open holes. The quality is good, worth more than it costs. It’s easy to clean. I’d buy many more, but this ball seems like it’ll last a lifetime.

Almost indestructible would recommend
I have owned the Monster K9 Indestructible Ball for one and a half years, and it has proven to be the most durable ball I have used for my German Shepherd. Out of all the balls we have tried, this one has lasted the longest under frequent, heavy chewing. Although my dog has finally managed to chew through it, I remain very satisfied with the product’s overall longevity and performance. I would definitely recommend purchasing this ball to other dog owners, especially those with strong chewers. It has provided exceptional play value over an extended period of time. One area for improvement is the warranty process. While the product advertising mentions a free replacement, there is no clear guidance on how to submit a claim, and I found it difficult to locate that information. Providing straightforward instructions for warranty claims would enhance the overall customer experience. Overall, this is a high-quality, long-lasting ball that I would recommend, particularly for large or powerful dogs.

So far, so good!
Finally! A toy my 55 pound, 18 month old puppy hasn’t destroyed in minutes, and one she actually LOVES playing with. It has a really cool bounce and she loves chasing it and it’s easy for her to grab and run back to me with. So glad it wasn’t another waste of money. My only suggestions are to make this in a fun color other than black, and to make other just as strong toys besides a donut (she already has 2 other donuts from different companies which surprisingly have weathered her jaws) and add a squeaker to one of these ultra strong toys. More than chasing the ball, she loves squeaking!
