  • Brief on the Firing of the 6” Gun at Fort Nepean
    The First Shot Introduction On Wed 5 Aug 1914, the brand-new German freighter S.S. Pfalz tried to escape from Port Phillip Bay to the open sea, before WW1 was declared. The Pfalz was built in 1913 and launched from the yard of Bremer-Vulcan, Vesesack, Germany and was 6,750 tons gross, 4,083 tone net and had refrigerated holds – “the finest of her type in the world” according to Frank Brennan, author of 1978 book The Australasian Commonwealth Shipping Line. The ship berthed at No 2, Victoria Dock, on Fri 31 Jul 1914 on its maiden voyage, under Captain W. Kuhiken (Kuluken?) on his first command. War in Europe was declared on Tue 4 Aug 1914 at 11 pm (London time), which was 9 am on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time). Engagement At about 12.40 pm on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time), the S.S. Pfalz was underway and just short of the Port Phillip Heads, having been released from inspection by the RAN near Portsea, when news reached Fort Queenscliff that war had been declared in Europe. Fort Queenscliff (the local coastal artillery HQ controlling all the separate forts in the Point Nepean / Queenscliff / Swan Island vicinity) telephoned Fort Nepean to stop the S.S. Pfalz. SS Pfalz An initial flag signal from Fort Nepean for the Pfalz to heave to was not seen – the Pfalz continued to steam towards the Heads, which were now tantalisingly close from the perspective of the German Captain. Once it was confirmed that the Pfalz was not heaving to in accordance with the Fort Nepean signal, the order was given to fire a shot across the bows of the Pfalz to compel its surrender.

  • Screening Germany in Australia: Analyzing the Australian Festival of German Films As Cultural Diplomacy
    Screening Germany in Australia: Analyzing the Australian Festival of German Films as Cultural Diplomacy By Irina Veronika Herrschner ORCID 0000-0002-3511-7095 Thesis submitted in Total Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy German Studies School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne June 2018 Abstract Cultural diplomacy increased in importance in German foreign policy following World War II (WWII) and reunification in 1989. The German model of cultural diplomacy emerged out of the need for a separation of powers between state and cultural politics, and resulted in a unique approach in which the Goethe-Institut (Goethe Institute – GI) became and remains the principal actor representing German culture and language abroad. The GI was re-established after WWII and now operates in 191 countries. As distinct from propaganda, contemporary German diplomacy aims to portray a realistic and multi-faceted image of Germany; it utilises public engagements, various media and – in particular – film. Other nations are adopting this strategy, as the growing number of nationality-based film festivals worldwide shows. Researchers in the emerging field of film festival studies have hitherto scrutinised the role of film festivals in the circulation of film, global cinephilia, as public spheres, as transnational spaces and time events, but not yet as part of cultural and contemporary cinematic diplomacy. My research adds to extant research on contemporary cinematic and cultural diplomacy through analysis of the Festival of German Films in Australia’s (AFGF) role in German cultural diplomacy. The AFGF was the largest festival of German films outside of Germany and was organised by the GI in collaboration with the German Films Service and Marketing GmbH.

Martin Christopher Hess iii Abstract Under traditional International relations theory, diplomacy relates to relations between sovereign nations. There have been two broad schools of thought on the dynamics behind these relations: the ‘realist’ school, which tends to consider power and conflict as the major lens through which such should be viewed, and the ‘idealist’ school which tended to focus on cooperation rather than conflict.

  • RAM Ramblings: Warren (Noddy) Feakes – Wanniassa– 0417 209 360
    Volume 11, Edition 2 August 2014 Mid-winter greetings to all. As is usual for me, I am ensconced in the Snowy Mountains of NSW for the winter, enjoying the best snow conditions for many seasons. We had the most amazing blizzards a couple of weeks ago, but now it is like spring, except for the cold clear nights, getting down to minus 12 C sometimes. Teaching and coaching adults and kids in Cross Country Skiing is a wonderful healthy occupation and now, like most of the ‘older’ Rammers, into my ‘mid’ sixties, I delight in the exercise and fresh mountain air. I was once more in Malacca for Anzac Day 2014 with a few Brit gunners, a couple of score of ex-Slim School students and one Extra 107 fella, that well known ‘spanner’ Terry Corcoran. I had a wonderful couple of weeks starting in Penang, then KL, then Malacca, spending Anzac Day at a lovely ceremony at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Terendak Camp. The Malaysian Army were amazing in their hosting of our group. On the first day in the Camp, we gunner types had a full tour of the old Regimental Lines and lunch in the Officers Mess hosted by the CO. After our Anzac Day service, The Divisional Commander threw on a sumptuous Garden Party at his residence for us, Band and all. The ceremony at the War Graves was huge. I think Malaysian Officers and Soldiers outnumbered our group of 50 odd. Malaysian General Staff officers were everywhere and I was interviewed for National TV which played that night.
