Wainwrights' Mountain Had Begun Chester Eagle Wainwrights’ Wainwrights’ Mountain Mountain In 1957 Chester Eagle began to explore the mountains of eastern Victoria, and discovered a fascinating place, and the Mountain Wainwrights’ events that had happened there: the long development of Wainwrights' Mountain had begun. In 1991, after decades of brooding, the book unveiled its two stories - one simple in outline, pioneering, somehow fundamental, yet needing explication. The other, the fugal response, takes up the challenge of the Wainwright tale; it begins modestly enough, but picks up the wildness of war and some of the madness of the apparently peaceful world that ensues. This second tale, of the Bowdens and Morrises of Melbourne, winds through generations and the interplay of families and strangers, until, in a splendidly ridiculous climax - the book's self- created peak - the two apparently unrelated stories, which have been edging closer for some time, make their merger on the mountain Wainwright claimed, is snow-grassed peak becomes a metaphor inclusive of everything human beings get up to, and a mood of joyful, if submissive, acceptance is the last gift the book offers its readers.

Beginnings take place in the present. The beginning is always now. 5 6 1 In which we meet a family and a couple They met in a lane, hiding from policemen on the beat. Before going their separate ways, pasting up anti-conscription posters, they gave each other their names. A week later, in a poorly furnished loft that had once held feed for a wealthy household’s horses, they spent the first night of their fifty-five years together, lying in each other’s arms, and somewhere in those early nights of happiness, unaware that their condoms - French letters - were faulty, they conceived a child whom they called Michael, because, pacifists both, they liked the story of the archangel persuading Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac, his son. I will make you a world, in the wilderness. You are mine now. Do not look at other men. In the wild swirl of the 1930s, with Europe the world’s cockpit, fascism frightened Michael’s parents. Was everything they had fought against going to re-present itself, filthier and more destructive? They reasoned that their first-born should enter a profession which would keep him away from bayonets and guns. Michael joined his father’s business as apprentice lens grinder, and learned the violin. Look back. There are not many points where you can look back. This is one. There are the lakes, and there the sea. Your town is behind you. Your life with me is ahead. I am the terms. You will never regret. You will be cold, hot, unhappy and hungry, but you will never regret. 7 Michael’s parents bought the big house; Michael took over the stable where he’d been conceived. Twenty years had brought it electricity and hot water, but, such were the times, police at the nearby station still collected bribes from abortionists with medical degrees, while hospitals took in the bleeding victims of knitting needles and twisted coathangers - cunt-hooks, as they were called. Michael fell in love. In winter, there will be a huge fire to cook on, to keep us warm. That fire will never die, from one year’s end to another, but sometimes greater fires will surround us. I will exult in them. You will cower at the end of my house, I know this, waiting for the danger to pass. The danger will never pass. I am the danger. I will exult in the way I frighten you. You will outlast me - I sense this - but you will never break out of my circle of terror. This is how Michael saw Helen, and fell in love. There are gentle springs where I am taking you, spilling the purest water. The main railway station in the city of Melbourne is famous for its clocks. ‘See you under the clocks,’ people say, arranging meetings. Michael was waiting for a tram in front of the station when he saw, in the flood of commuters, a young woman whose step declared she had a greater purpose than going home. When he saw her the next night, she had a viola case in her hand. He wanted to know her, and if fortune so prescribed, they might enter the unknown together. But how to make it happen? He went to a concert. Sitting in the organ gallery, because he liked to watch the conductor face-on, he became aware, early in the over- ture, that she was at the back desk of the violas. A pang of jealousy ran through him. She was at the heart of this fiery music. It was the Fantastic Symphony, and he hated Berlioz for tearing him in two. Did love have to be like this? Even the adagio was full of tension, with dis- tant thunder rumbling. The March to the Scaffold was horrific, with 8 her red hair tossing to the rhythm as she played. The brass blazed, the orchestra swaggered to its final crunch! The artist’s head lay in the basket. The following week he went again. The Sinfonia Concertante, Köchel 364. Viola and violin. As he left home, his father, George, noticed him helping himself to the opera glasses. Slipping a smile to Yatty (Yvonne), his wife, he said to their young man, ‘Something you want to get close to?’ Michael’s seat was above the orchestra, on the bass side, and he listened enviously to the impassioned dialogue. She was at her desk, contributing. When the soloists took their bow, he saw himself on the platform, in fantasy, with her; when the orchestra left the stage, he rushed downstairs, past the artists’ room where she’d be pull- ing on her coat, smiling and talking, and entered the lane at the back of the hall. ‘This is my fate’, he said to himself, in a dull street in a dull city, with, his parents seemed to think, and everything in the papers confirmed it, a war about to sweep like a cyclone across the world, pick- ing up lives like particles of dust, or droplets of water, and flinging them down wherever it pleased the enormous forces to release them.

    Unforgettable Characters in Football A series of articles written by H.A.de Lacy during the 1941 VFL football season and published in The Sporting Globe. Peter Burns Henry “Tracker” Young Albert Thurgood Henry “Ivo” Crapp Dick Lee Syd and Gordon Coventry Roy Park Jack Worrall Ivor Warne-Smith Hughie James Percy Parratt & Jimmy Freake Horrie Clover Roy Cazaly Alan and Vic Belcher Vic Cumberland Tom Fitzmaurice Rod McGregor Dave McNamara Albert Chadwick PETER BURNS Greatest Player Game Has Produced May 3, 1941 – https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/180297522 When I walked into the South Melbourne training room on Thursday night and asked a group of old timers, "Did any of YOU fellows play with Peter Burns when he was here?'' work stopped. Billy Windley left off lacing a football. "Joker" Hall allowed the compress on Eric Huxtables ankle to go cold, and Jim O'Meara walked across the room with a pencil sticking out of the side of his mouth, while one of the present-day Southern stalwarts stood half naked Waiting for the guernsey that Jim carried away in his hand. I had struck a magic chord collectively and individually all three said play with Peter — he was the greatest player the game has produced and a gentleman in all things." Well it was certainly nice to have them unanimous about It. and so definite too. I wanted Information and I got it in one hot blast of enthusiasm. Peter Burns — what a man; what a footballer, they all agreed. Today in the South Melbourne room working side by side at the moulding of a younger side.

  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.

  • Skills Guide R Chapter Chapter Chapte
    SKILLS GUIDE 15 CHAPTERCHAPTER Chapter 15 Skills Guide INTRODUCTION TO SKILLS GUIDE Fundamental to coaching adolescents in any sport is the need to know about the skills of the game. The following guide provides coaches with the key points for each of the skills of Australian Football. Although it is recognised that the ability of the coach to teach the fundamental skills (techniques) of Australian Football is paramount, equally important at the youth age group is the ability to analyse, correct and remediate common skill errors players have developed over their playing experiences. Only then will the coach of this age group truly improve the playing ability and enjoyment of the players and develop them into confident and competent senior players. When referring to the various skills, coaches should: • Identify the skill or combination of skills to be taught. • Note the sequence of teaching points. • Select only two or three points to start with (refer to Chapter 5, Teaching and Improving Skills) Use the SPIR method to teach the skill. An essential starting point for this is to provide players with a good visual demonstration of the skill being taught. This may require selecting a player to perform the demonstration. Also, when teaching the skills, be aware of how to increase intensity or difficulty. Start with static activity (player handballs to partner – both stationary). The skill is made more difficult by increasing the pace and reducing the time and space in which the skill is to be performed (it becomes more game based). When teaching skills, remember to: • Start with slow movement (players step towards each other).

  • An Investigation of Jandek's
    THEMATIC INTERCONNECTIVITY AS AN INNATE MUSICAL QUALITY: AN INVESTIGATION OF JANDEK’S “EUROPEAN JEWEL” GUITAR RIFFS NICOLE A MARCHESSEAU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2014 © NICOLE A MARCHESSEAU, 2014 Abstract This dissertation is divided into two main areas. The first of these explores Jandek-related discourse and contextualizes the project. Also discussed is the interconnectivity that runs through the project through the self-citation of various lyrical, visual, and musical themes. The second main component of this dissertation explores one of these musical themes in detail: the guitar riffs heard in the “European Jewel” song-set and the transmigration/migration of the riff material used in the song to other non-“European Jewel” tracks. Jandek is often described in related discourse as an “outsider musician.” A significant point of discussion in the first area of this dissertation is the outsider music genre as it relates to Jandek. In part, this dissertation responds to an article by Martin James and Mitzi Waltz which was printed in the periodical Popular Music where it was suggested that the marketing of a musician as an outsider risks diminishing the “innate qualities” of the so-called outsider musicians’ works.1 While the outsider label is in itself problematic—this is discussed at length in Chapter Two—the analysis which comprises the second half of this dissertation delves into self- citation and thematic interconnection as innate qualities within the project.
