It was part of the RSL National/Stephen Henderson organised visit under the Japan-Australia Grassroots Exchange Programme. To commemorate the visit and the progress made through face-to-face meetings, this special Japan-Australia edition of TLP covers as many areas possible that represent common ground for the two countries. We interview Australia’s military attache in Tokyo, Colonel Simon Monterola about the relationship between Australia and Japan and feature this editions Foreword from Australia’s Ambassador to Japan, Mr Richard Court AC. In this edition we also speak with director Catherine Hill about her work on the play Hallowed Ground and learn more about this arts-focused woman who directed her first play at 17. We also interview author Max Hastings about his book, Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy. When the names of significant Australian architects are mentioned, Bruce Rickards is always up there. A member of the Sydney school, Bruce’s work produced some of the most notable and recognisable houses of the period. We feature a two-page spread on Bruce and the book, A Life in Architecture. In Sport we speak with legendary sports commentator Bruce McAvaney about his fabulous career behind the microphone and, hot on the heels of Winx’s retirement, ask for his list of the top 5 horses to have raced in Australia. Also in Sport, Michael McDonald pays tribute to his friend and mine, the late Allan Aldenhoven.

E. MR. RICHARD COURT AC AUSTRALIAN AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN Australia’s current bilateral relationship with Japan could hardly be stronger. We often tend to think of the modern relationship as being defined by trade and business ties, but it is perhaps the people-to-people links that are the true backbone of our strong partnership with Japan. Whether young Australians travelling to Japan as exchange students, to teach English or to ski, or Japanese studying or holidaying in Australia, so many of us have come away from these experiences with a lifetime affinity for the other’s country. It is this strong foundation of trust and respect that brings our two liberal democracies together as such natural partners, and our bilateral relationship continues to go from strength to strength. It would have been difficult for those of our parents or grandparents generations 70 years ago to imagine just how strong this bond between our two countries would become just decades after our young soldiers faced off against each other in bloody battles during World War II. My own father was an Army officer who served in the Pacific theatre. When the war ended in August 1945 he was involved in supervising the surrender and disarming of Japanese troops on Bougainville, working closely with Japanese counterparts. Many years later, he would again meet with some of them – this time over dinner in Tokyo. It was an emotional reunion and a very powerful symbol of reconciliation, after they had fought against each other in the jungles of Bougainville. My father went on to develop strong bonds with Japan in the years that followed and received an Imperial Honour from the Emperor. I commend Greg Ross and his team for providing us with this thoughtful insight into some of the more delicate aspects of our recent history with Japan. This edition touches on the stories of Australian soldiers interned in Japanese POW camps and Australians supporting Japan’s recovery during the subsequent occupation period, and gives a moving account of the 280 young Australians still interred in Japanese soil, at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Yokohama. But perhaps most importantly, it reflects on the strength of the bond that now exists across the breadth of our bilateral relationship – a model example of two former foes reconciled and working as close partners to promote regional security and stability, ultimately aiming to prevent a recurrence of the wartime suffering our forebears experienced.

    General Sir William Birdwood and the AIF,L914-1918

    A study in the limitations of command: General Sir William Birdwood and the A.I.F.,l914-1918 Prepared and submitted by JOHN DERMOT MILLAR for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales 31 January 1993 I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of advanced learning, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. John Dermot Millar 31 January 1993 ABSTRACT Military command is the single most important factor in the conduct of warfare. To understand war and military success and failure, historians need to explore command structures and the relationships between commanders. In World War I, a new level of higher command had emerged: the corps commander. Between 1914 and 1918, the role of corps commanders and the demands placed upon them constantly changed as experience brought illumination and insight. Yet the men who occupied these positions were sometimes unable to cope with the changing circumstances and the many significant limitations which were imposed upon them. Of the World War I corps commanders, William Bird wood was one of the longest serving. From the time of his appointment in December 1914 until May 1918, Bird wood acquired an experience of corps command which was perhaps more diverse than his contemporaries during this time.
  • The Dazzling Blackness

    The Dazzling Blackness

    THE DAZZLING BLACKNESS By Jamie Brisick I’m thinking about Brazilian president Getúlio Vargas, who shot himself in the heart in 1954; I’m thinking about Pepê Lopes, who died in a hang gliding accident while trying to win a second world title in Japan in 1991; I’m thinking about Aryton Senna, the Formula One racer who died on lap seven of the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy in 1994. I am not thinking about death explicitly, but death hangs over all of this. I’m bodysurfing the north end of Barra da Tijuca, a spot called Praia do Pepê, named after the hang glider. The swell is out of the southwest; the waves are a whomping four foot, mostly lefts, with the occasional short burst of right. The water smells of sewage, with a distinctly Rio tang. My romantic self likes to think of it as bathing in the collective DNA of this city of six million. My more practical self fears Hep A. On my feet, Da Fins, recommended by bodysurfing guru Mark Cunningham. At the tip of my fingers, a Danny Hess-shaped hand plane, which I have learned to hold with my inside hand. This is why I love bodysurfing. This is why, in my recent trips to Rio, I end up bodysurfing more than board surfing: I’m still learning new things. At age 47 I may be declining as a surfer, but as a bodysurfer I’m unquestionably improving. The tadpole grows feet and hops across the terra firma. The surfer sheds board and swims off to eternity.

IT was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of fireflies.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas

    Damascus Christos Tsiolkas

    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.
