Provenance
This collection was donated by Toyne in four instalments, on 20-21
October 1994, 3 November 1994 and 29 January 1997. It contains a wide variety
of materials, including diaries and notebooks, working and reference files,
photographs, slides, tape and video recordings.
Scope and Content
The collection consists broadly of three main parts, reflecting three
phases of Toyne's work from 1979 - 1994.
The first part contains diaries, notebooks and working files from
Toyne's years in Central Australia, principally from the years 1979-86. There
is a strong emphasis on land rights issues, beginning with the
Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981, concerning which Toyne co-authored
the book, Growing up the country - the Pitjantjatjara struggle for their
land (1984). There is also a substantial amount of material on the Ayers
Rock /Uluru title transfer in 1985, the management of Uluru National Park and
the defamation action against Paul Everingham which lasted from 1985-94. The
material in this first part is supplemented by further collections of
photographs, slides and video recordings.
The second part of the collection consists primarily of research files
and a small number of working files from Toyne's years as Director of the
Australian Conservation Foundation (1986-92). These formed the basis of his
postgraduate environmental law course, taught at the Australian National
University in 1993-94, which was broadcast as an eight-part radio series on ABC
Radio National and published as The reluctant nation - environment, law and
politics in Australia (1994).
The third main part of the collection contains research files and
working files from Toyne's involvement as a consultant to the Federal
Government on developing a response to the Mabo judgement and drafting the
Native Title Bill (1993).
Series 11 and 12 have been kept in their original order. Series 6 was
originally in alphabetical order for approximately half of the files, and this
order was adopted for arranging the second half of the series. In the smaller
series the original order has often been kept in part, with the addition of
closely related material which was dispersed throughout the collection. Series
14 (photographic materials) was completely reorganised.
Phillip Toyne was born in Melbourne in 1947 and educated at the
University High School, matriculating in 1964. He completed a Bachelor of Law
at the University of Melbourne in 1970 and a Diploma of Education at La Trobe
University in 1972. As detailed below, in 1973-1986 he worked in Central
Australia, mainly representing Aboriginal people on a wide range of legal
matters, particularly in the area of land rights. In October 1986 he was
appointed Director of the Australian Conservation Foundation and continued in
that position till 1992. In 1993-94 he took up a position as Visiting Fellow at
the Centre for Environmental Law and Policy, ANU. In late 1994 he was appointed
Executive Director of the Environmental Strategies Directorate in the

Series 3: Central Australia: Working Files (1979-86)
This series consists of most of Toyne's working files during his years
in Central Australia, in particular from the period 1979-1986. The files
contain correspondence, reports, articles, pamphlets, newspaper clippings,
resource development agreements and acts of parliament.
The files in this sequence were not added to after Toyne left Alice
Springs in 1986. Those Central Australian files that continued to be added to
and used till 1993-94 are located in Series 6. So, for example, the majority of
the Uluru files are in this series but those that continued to be added to and
used up to the writing of The reluctant nation (1994) are located in
Series 6.

Series 6: Conservation and Aboriginal Issues - Background
Research Files (1978-94)
This series is an amalgamation of background research files received in
the original donation of 20 October 1994 and similarly arranged files received
in the second addition of 3 November 1994. The first half of the files in this
series were originally arranged in alphabetical order and this order was
adopted for arranging the second half of the series. These research files
formed the basis of the postgraduate environmental law course which Toyne
taught in 1993 at the Australian Centre for Environmental Law, Australian
National University, and which in turn were used for an eight-part radio
program produced for ABC's Radio National and published in the book, The
reluctant nation (1994).
The series includes correspondence, minutes, articles, reports,
newspaper clippings, notes, speeches, legal papers and tape recordings.
