The project brief is appended to this report. This is the second in a series of heritage surveys of South Australia in the twentieth century. the Twentieth Century Heritage Survey Stage 1: Post Second World War 1946- 1959 Overview History was undertaken by Carol Cosgrove and Susan Marsden in 2003- 2004 for the South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage. That project did not include field work or nomination reports. Objectives The primary objectives of the Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two were to assess Non-Aboriginal cultural heritage resources throughout South Australia in the period from 1928 to 1945, and to recommend places for entry in the South Australian Heritage Register, or if appropriate as State Heritage Areas. (The study does not cover places of Indigenous heritage value.) The project also included a re-assessment of those places from the period 1928-1945 which had already been entered in the South Australian Heritage Register before the Heritage Act 1993 came into force in January 1994. This was necessary because those places had never been assessed under the criteria in that Act, which continue in the Heritage Places Act today. The reader may be puzzled to find some important heritage places from the period 1928-1945 missing from this report; that probably means they are already in the Register, and were entered since 1994. In summary, this report on the Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two: (a) makes recommendations about places from the period already entered in the South Australian Heritage Register before 1994; (b) makes recommendations for the entry of further places from the period in the South Australian Heritage Register; (c) makes recommendations for the declaration of State Heritage Areas. The report is arranged in two volumes: volume one contains the overview history and reports on the 62 places already in the Register; volume two contains reports on the 31 new places recommended, and the bibliography. Scope of Study The survey covered the entire land area of South Australia in the period 1928-1945. Field work extended from Mount Gambier in the south to Andamooka in the north, and from Murtho near Renmark in the east to Hughes on the Nullarbor Plain in the west. Peter Bell, Carol Cosgrove, Susan Marsden & Justin McCarthy 2008, volume 1 1 Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two (1928-1945) Survey Methodology The methodology adopted for the Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two followed broadly that recommended by Susan Marsden in Historical Guidelines (1980) and adopted by the Heritage Branch and its predecessors for nearly 30 years since - with evolving modifications - as the basis for heritage surveys. This consisted essentially of the following stages: (1) carrying out historical research on the period, (2) identifying historical themes and likely places for investigation, (3) obtaining local information and advice, (4) undertaking field work to visit and record all known likely significant places, (5) assessing the significance of the places recorded, (6) formulating recommendations and (7) compiling a report setting out all this information. Advertisement for Ford motor cars, a month before the New York Stock Exchange crash (Adelaide News 6 September 1929) Introductory Note This heritage survey covers South Australia between 1928 and 1945, a period dominated by the events of the Great Depression and the Second World War. Writing the history of those events is relatively straightforward, but a heritage survey must also identify the physical legacy which they have left us. In some ways, the era might seem an inauspicious one for a heritage survey. How do you represent the Great Depression in heritage registers? By definition, in a time of prolonged economic misery there should have been very little money available for building. We would expect a depression to leave few architectural monuments. One characteristic built form created by depressions is the camps of homeless people. Most people have forgotten that in the grim days of the Great Depression, unemployed workers formed spontaneous camps in the heart of Adelaide, the most famous at Pinky 2 Peter Bell, Carol Cosgrove, Susan Marsden & Justin McCarthy 2008, volume 1 Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two (1928-1945) Flat by the River Torrens, which was described by a journalist: Adelaide's village of forgotten men - the abode of river dwellers. From Morphett Street bridge it sprawls along the south bank of the Torrens and the weir, then transfers to the opposite bank and peters out about a quarter of a mile downstream. Its occupants - more than 60 unemployed single men who are waiting for the time when an improvement in the labour market will allow them to return to their respective avenues of work ... (The Mail, 14 January 1933) Not all the occupants of these camps saw themselves as defeated victims. They planted vegetable and flower gardens, and some had carpentry and craft workshops in their huts to earn some income. One tent which housed an unemployed commercial artist was jauntily painted to resemble brickwork, complete with painted door and window. It had paved surrounds and a tiny fenced front garden. Tent of a homeless worker by the River Torrens (Advertiser 2 September 1933) The temporary camps were of flimsy materials, typically canvas, hessian and corrugated iron, and after they were abandoned, civic embarrassment ensured that all trace of them was expunged. There were also more organised encampments for the unemployed such as those in the Kuitpo and Mount Crawford forests, but all were of ephemeral construction, and seventy years later they have left little trace. Yet these camps were only one aspect of the built legacy of the Depression. The evidence surviving from the 1930s is complex and contradictory. Some of the most impressive monuments of the era were built by successive State governments: engineering

Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

  • BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory ______
    _____________________________________________________________________ WOODS BAGOT ARCHITECTS PTY. LTD BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory __________________________________________________________________ Edward Woods (1837-1913) arrived in South Australia during 1860 and began working for the architect Edmund Wright. He helped design the GPO and Town Hall before starting out on his own in 1869; his first commission being St. Peter's Cathedral. By 1884, he had been appointed the colony's Architect-in-chief, and was an inaugural member of the S.A. Institute of Architects formed in 1886. Walter Bagot (1880-1963), a grandson of Henry Ayers and a student of St. Peter's College, became articled to Woods in 1899. He later studied architecture in London before entering into partnership with Woods in 1905. The following year, Bagot assisted with the formation of the first school of architecture in Adelaide, under the auspices of the School of Mines. Herbert Jory, James Irwin and Louis Laybourne-Smith joined the practice as partners in ensuing years; Laybourne-Smith (1880-1965) was also Head of the School of Architecture for 40 years and instrumental in its foundation. Woods Bagot have been a very influential in South Australia, with early emphasis on traditional styles and in ecclesiastical architecture. The firm designed Elder House, the Trustee Building, Bonython Hall, Barr Smith Library, the War Memorial, Carrick Hill and a number of churches in Adelaide and the country. Later commissions included John Martins, the Bank of NSW, CML and Da Costa Buildings, ANZ Bank and the Elizabeth City Centre, while more recent examples include Standard Chartered, Commonwealth Bank, Telecom and Mutual Health buildings.

  • Justice Richard O'connor and Federation Richard Edward O
    1 By Patrick O’Sullivan Justice Richard O’Connor and Federation Richard Edward O’Connor was born 4 August 1854 in Glebe, New South Wales, to Richard O’Connor and Mary-Anne O’Connor, née Harnett (Rutledge 1988). The third son in the family (Rutledge 1988) to a highly accomplished father, Australian-born in a young country of – particularly Irish – immigrants, a country struggling to forge itself an identity, he felt driven to achieve. Contemporaries noted his personable nature and disarming geniality (Rutledge 1988) like his lifelong friend Edmund Barton and, again like Barton, O’Connor was to go on to be a key player in the Federation of the Australian colonies, particularly the drafting of the Constitution and the establishment of the High Court of Australia. Richard O’Connor Snr, his father, was a devout Roman Catholic who contributed greatly to the growth of Church and public facilities in Australia, principally in the Sydney area (Jeckeln 1974). Educated, cultured, and trained in multiple instruments (Jeckeln 1974), O’Connor placed great emphasis on learning in a young man’s life and this is reflected in the years his son spent attaining a rounded and varied education; under Catholic instruction at St Mary’s College, Lyndhurst for six years, before completing his higher education at the non- denominational Sydney Grammar School in 1867 where young Richard O’Connor met and befriended Edmund Barton (Rutledge 1988). He went on to study at the University of Sydney, attaining a Bachelor of Arts in 1871 and Master of Arts in 1873, residing at St John’s College (of which his father was a founding fellow) during this period.

  • Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention
    The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention* Geoffrey Bolton dmund Barton first entered my life at the Port Hotel, Derby on the evening of Saturday, E13 September 1952. As a very young postgraduate I was spending three months in the Kimberley district of Western Australia researching the history of the pastoral industry. Being at a loose end that evening I went to the bar to see if I could find some old-timer with an interesting store of yarns. I soon found my old-timer. He was a leathery, weather-beaten station cook, seventy-three years of age; Russel Ward would have been proud of him. I sipped my beer, and he drained his creme-de-menthe from five-ounce glasses, and presently he said: ‘Do you know what was the greatest moment of my life?’ ‘No’, I said, ‘but I’d like to hear’; I expected to hear some epic of droving, or possibly an anecdote of Gallipoli or the Somme. But he answered: ‘When I was eighteen years old I was kitchen-boy at Petty’s Hotel in Sydney when the federal convention was on. And every evening Edmund Barton would bring some of the delegates around to have dinner and talk about things. I seen them all: Deakin, Reid, Forrest, I seen them all. But the prince of them all was Edmund Barton.’ It struck me then as remarkable that such an archetypal bushie, should be so admiring of an essentially urban, middle-class lawyer such as Barton.

  • Rban Aborigines
    RBAN ABORIGINES guFay Gälc assisted by Alison Brookman brt This book concerns the re-entry of Aborigines into Australian life—specifically the life of urban Adelaide—after generations of restriction to isolated rural areas. Aborigines are moving into Australian cities in increasing numbers—in 1957 one in sixteen of South Australia’s Aborigines lived in Adelaide, by 1966 one in four did so. Some adjust easily to city life, others face seemingly insoluble problems of housing and employment, social tensions, health and welfare, education and law. Often their experience on reserves and the fringes of small towns has in no way prepared them for urban life. The physical confrontation involved in this re-entry is already leading to legislative and social changes for Aborigines. It is beginning to arouse public conscience about Aboriginal conditions, and the voice of the Aboriginal is beginning to be heard. This study is a representative picture of Aborigines in Australian cities today, and it speaks for the future of Australia, black and white. This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy.
