The land was part of a grant of 1500 acres made in 1815 by Governor Macquarie to the magistrate Robert Lowe. Bringelly has been my home, my studio and my refuge for nearly 43 years but this is coming to an end. With the Southwest Sydney Growth Centre all will change. My block will be in Lowes Creek. The rural aspects will disappear as the land has been designated for industrial and res- idential uses.' Born in Sydney on 23 May 1936 to Allan Thomas Stratton and Edna Mavis Lynch, Brian Stratton was the only member of the Australian Watercolour Institute to twice preside as president. Stratton’s father, like many of his gen- eration, was profoundly affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s and consequently devoted his life's energies to the union movement. A bookbind- er by trade, Allan Stratton was to hold numerous positions in the Amalgamat- ed Printing Trades Union, being a vigorous campaigner in the industrial fight for the 40-hour week, which was formally approved by the Commonwealth Arbitration Court on 8 September 1947 to take effect from 1 January 1948. He became Head Teacher of Bookbinding with the New South Wales Depart- ment of Technical Education, relinquishing his union position but remaining for many years their Returning Officer. However, his unremitting union ac- tivism took a heavy toll on the family, culminating in a marriage breakdown with the result that, for most of his life, Brian Stratton has had a close associ- ation with his mother and her relations. At the outbreak of World War II, Stratton was a child of three but he distinct- ly recalls that his first intimation of its gravity was two years later, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, when his teacher, Mr Farrell, announced to the class at Punchbowl Primary School, 'Boys, we are saved. I got down on my knees last night and thanked God that America is in the War.' He would witness the radical changes war wreaked on the home front. There were blackouts in cities and coastal areas and, due to petrol shortages, char- coal burners propelled cars while trucks and public buses were fuelled by massive bags of gas that was a by-product of iron manufacturing. With the entry of Japan into the war and the attacks on Darwin, women and children Camden History, Volume 4 Number 2 40 Brian with his entry in the 2010 in Quanhua Watercolour Gallery Zhujiajiao at Shanghai in China at which Brian won at award. ( L & B Stratton) were evacuated from northern Australia. The widespread fear that this coun- try would be invaded was somewhat attenuated by the influx of thousands of American soldiers. Holes were dug in backyards with galvanised sheeting for roofs as improvised air raid shelters but, when it rained, they flooded with water. Shop windows were boarded up and stringent rationing was in force for essential items such as food, fuel, clothing and footwear. Stratton remem- bers walking to school barefoot during winter frosts, wearing short pants mended with a succession of patches, always carrying with him a small draw- string bag containing cotton wool and an eraser. The cotton wool was intend- ed to serve as earplugs while the eraser was to be clamped between one’s teeth in the event of bombing raids. In his last year at Punchbowl Primary School, Stratton’s teacher, Mr Rufus, suggested that their classroom would benefit from some adornment on its barren walls. Money was collected and two reproductions were hung -- Hans Heysen's virtuosic 1909 watercolour, Summer, and Robert Johnson's bucolic Burragorang Valley, the original oil painting having been a finalist in the 1939 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. These two images Camden History, Volume 4 Number 2 41 were Stratton’s first visual experience of Australian art. After obtaining his Intermediate Certificate, he commenced work in the print- ing industry, initially as a halftone, and then colour, etcher at the leading pho- toengraving company, Hartland and Hyde. Associated with Hartland and Hyde at that time was the renowned modernist photographer, Max Dupain. As the junior member of staff, one of Stratton’s tasks was to buy the lunches so that there were times he would be in the dark room with Dupain and his assistants, among whom was Kerry Dundas, son of the artist Douglas Dundas MBE, who played an important role in his future career. Dupain would use an early oil painting by Stratton in the background of one of his commercial pro- jects. Following a five-year apprenticeship at the School of Printing (later Graphic Arts), Stratton was awarded the Bronze Medallion by the Premier of New South Wales, Joseph Cahill, at Sydney Town Hall as ‘Most Outstanding Ap- prentice of the Year' in his trade. Continuing his studies at night, he subse- quently obtained the Higher Trades Certificate. In 1952, at the age of 15, he commenced part time studies in drawing and composition at North Sydney Technical College two nights a week under the tutelage of John Godson (a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute from 1934-50). On one occasion, Godson showed the class some of his un- framed watercolours, which were the first original landscapes Stratton had seen. By far the youngest member of the group, Stratton was confident that his drawing was solid but felt his compositional skills were lacking.

  • KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS by LRV 2007 I Was Raised by My Grandparents and Was Always Interested in Their Superstitions
    KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS By LRV 2007 I was raised by my grandparents and was always interested in their superstitions. Many of these were based on safety and I found were really an easier way to remember not to do something. Walk under a ladder, open an umbrella in the house, walk behind a horse etc all seemed to make some sense. One of these superstitions was always interesting to me. My grandfather being from the “Old Country” had many superstitions but never handing a knife directly to someone always seemed a little strange to me. He would always put a knife down on the table or desk and allow me or others to take it from there. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that other than for safety reasons there were other superstitions out there relating to knives. This is a collection of what I’ve been able to find. Some are very similar to one another but different enough that I thought they were interesting. The most common by far was exchanging a gift knife for a penny. Giving a knife as a gift • A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end. • If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon be broken. • Never give a knife as a housewarming present, or your new neighbor will become an enemy. • To make a present of a knife or any other sharp instrument unless you receive something in exchange. • Giving a knife as a gift you should tape a penny to it so as to not severe the relationship.

  • Grenville Kate 320 Compress.Mp3
    Grenville Kate 320 compress.mp3 [00:00:00] Interviewer Welcome to the Inner West Library Speaker series. Before we begin today, I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora nation on which this podcast is produced and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging from across all lands this podcast reaches. Kate Grenville is one of Australia's most celebrated writers. Her international bestseller, The Secret River, was awarded local and overseas prizes, has been adapted for the stage and as an acclaimed television miniseries and is now a much-loved classic. Grenville's other novels include Sarah Thornhill, The Lieutenant, Dark Places and the Orange Prize Winner The Idea of Perfection. Her most recent books are two works on non-fiction, One Life: My Mother's Story and The Case Against Fragrance. She has also written three books about the writing process. In 2017, Grenville was awarded the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature. She currently lives in Melbourne. What if Elizabeth Macarthur, wife of the notorious John Macarthur, wool Baron in the earliest days of Sydney had written a shockingly frank secret memoir? And what if novelist Kate Grenville had miraculously found and published it? That's the starting point for A Room Made of Leaves, a playful dance of possibilities between the real and the invented. Marriage to a ruthless bully, the impulses of her heart, the search for power in a society that gave women none. This Elizabeth Macarthur manages her complicated life with spirit and passion, cunning and sly wit.
