  • Sir John Northcott
    30 Sir John Northcott (1 August 1946 – 31 July 1957) Chris Cunneen The 30th representative of the Crown in New South Wales, John North- cott, was the first Australian to be State or colonial Governor.1 It was only after extraordinary pressure from the Premier William McKell that King George VI, advised by the British Government, agreed to the selection. Birth and military career John Northcott was born on 24 March 1890 at Creswick, Victoria, eldest son of English-born parents: his father, also named John, owned a general store in the nearby town of Dean, his mother was Elizabeth, née Reynolds. Young John was the eldest of four sons and one daughter. Educated at Dean State School and Grenville College, Ballarat, he was a keen member of the school cadets. He was also an enthusiastic horse rider, so in 1908 he enlisted in the Ninth Light Horse Regiment, a militia unit. Deciding on a full time career in the Army he passed the entry examinations and in 1912 joined the Permanent Military Forces as a Lieu- tenant on the Administrative and Instructional Staff. He was posted to Tasmania. On the outbreak of World War I he transferred to the Aust- ralian Imperial Force and in August 1914 was appointed Adjutant of the 12th Battalion, based at Anglesea Barracks, Hobart.2 Northcott’s service record at this time described the 24 year old as five feet eight and a half inches tall, with a fair complexion and blue eyes. His Battalion left for Egypt in October 1914. On Sunday, 25 April 1915, Northcott was one of the first to land at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.

    The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organisation which represents an international network of people from all over the world committed to bringing books and children together. NEWSLETTER No 39 November, 2018 President’s Letter Dear IBBY Australia members and supporters, I am very honoured to take on the role of President of IBBY Australia, having served as Vice-President to Robin Morrow’s presidency for some time, and having just returned from a lengthy and inspiring European trip in association with attending the 36th IBBY International Congress (30/08/18, 31/08/18, and 1/9/18) in Athens. My involvement with IBBY began in 1983 when I attended a regional IBBY congress in Sydney, Changing Faces: Story and Children in an Electronic Age, organised by the indefatigable founding national president, Ena Noël. Aidan Chambers’s speech there regarding the influence of media on writing seeped into a lot of my subsequent writing and research, and was even more perspicacious than we realised at the time. In 1985, another conference was held in Perth –a combined IBBY/Loughborough Conference Brave New World: International Understanding Through Books. I recall that Ken Methold spoke of his concern that popular fiction was being ignored as a category in Australian children’s publishing, but in that same year Paul Jennings appeared on our radar with his first book, Unreal! I then attended my first international IBBY Congress in Tokyo in 1986, with 75 Australian delegates including Robin Morrow (whom I met there for the first time), Albert Ullin, Julie Vivas, Maurice Saxby and many others.
