“…The inequality of master/servant interactions was etched in the social practices of colonial domestic reality (Higman, 2002). Egalitarianism, a much lauded Australian trait, perhaps emerged in the environs of the pub, abetted by female domestics liberated from the strictures of class-based domestic service (Freeman, 1966), although it has equally been argued that egalitarianism and mateship became the privilege of working class males (Kirkby and Luckins, 2006).…”

Purpose -This research paper aims to report on the findings of an innovative study to extract contemporaneous interpretations of Australian colonial domestic hospitality in Mrs. Lance Rawson's Cookery Book and Household Hints. Design/methodology/approach -To dialogue with the text's original author, as free of time and space permutations as possible a hermeneutical approach is adopted. Hermeneutics has been successfully applied as an interpretative tool, to a range of tradition laden significant texts as it assists in the (constructive) deconstruction of texts so that the reader may use them as a portal into the past (its values and assumptions). Findings -The findings of these textual analyses present a number of themes: the embedded notion of host/guest relations, especially as it transpires in "the bush"; the earliest impacts of indigenous and ethnic minorities on food production, its consumption and hence private hospitality; and evidence of a range of issues concerned with the management of a household. An Australian hospitality is also explored. Research limitations/implications -Just as researchers have sought to identify an antipodean cuisine, this paper is a launch for understanding the origins of colonial hospitality, albeit from a private perspective. Practical implications -The findings might assist the Australian hospitality industry in developing a regional service culture. Originality/value -This paper contributes to emerging studies in hospitality, by deconstructing a colonial cookbook, via the medium of textual analysis, and underpinned by a hermeneutic interpretative paradigm.

“…Twelve were subsequently charged with offensive behaviour. From the perspective of the women's liberation press, challenging the gender segregation of the public bar in an effort to be treated as equals was a highly symbolic act (Kirkby & Luckins, 2006). Here the cosmopolitans were young women who rejected an older working-class pub leisure.…”

Studies of gentrification in Australia have typically analysed the phenomenon through the lens of housing and residential change. This article explores how non-residential factors, including the concept of and the everyday practices associated with cosmopolitanism, offer an opportunity to analyse leisure specific to gentrification in Melbourne in the 1960s and 1970s. The article particularly explores leisure based on food and drink cultures located in restaurants, cafés and pubs. Adopting a discursive interdisciplinary approach to studies of the urban past, the article seeks to enhance our historical understanding of the interplay between gentrification and cosmopolitan leisure at a specific place and time in history, by exploring how people perceived themselves and their lifestyles in the midst of urban change.

“…In the late 1960s and 1970s, a younger generation of well‐educated women challenged the sex‐segregation of the public bar as an obvious symbol of discrimination against women connected to the larger issues of unequal pay, women's lower wages and unequal access to employment, particularly for married women. As Kirkby & Luckins note: ‘these mainly middle‐class women did not endorse the separatist drinking culture of the mainly working‐class women in the ladies’ lounge; they were not concerned with the conditions of pubs or questions about their own respectability. They demanded equality with men, either as a political point or a given of their generation’ (, p. 84).…”
