When I joined the board, I was conscious of the HHT’s well-deserved reputation for boldness in its scholarship, exhibitions and education programs. I am very pleased that the HHT has continued to build on this reputation. This past year has been an exceptional year for visitor numbers. In 2010–11 the HHT welcomed more than 930,000 people to its museums, public and commercial events, exhibitions and other activities. This number includes 358,229 paid admissions – a 5% increase over last year – around 29,000 people who attended our public programs and more than 77,000 people who visited our three travelling exhibitions touring regional New South Wales and other parts of Australia. All these visitors had the opportunity to experience the HHT’s beautiful and unique properties and collections, view remarkable and thought-provoking exhibitions, and absorb the stories and knowledge that come from the HHT’s dynamic presentation of history and places. Of all the HHT’s activities in the last year, it is perhaps its educational work that will have the most lasting impact. This year more than 63,000 students took part in HHT education programs – a record achievement and one that we are particularly proud of. We also pioneered a new online Connected Classrooms initiative, supported by the Foundation for the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales, which reached around 2300 pupils from urban and regional schools. Half of those schools had never participated in an HHT program before, and the majority of schools were located more than 200 kilometres from Sydney, including schools in Gilgandra and Menindee. With more students visiting our properties and participating in our Connected Classrooms program, the HHT is bringing history and a sense of place, culture and continuity to a new generation, helping children put modern Australian life into a wider and richer context. Our staff are justifiably proud of our education programs and of the relationships we have with schools throughout New South Wales. One-third of primary-school-aged children in New South Wales live in the state’s fastest growing area, Western Sydney. Last year we opened the restored schoolhouse and covered outdoor learning area at Rouse Hill House & Farm. This year we moved the car park and visitor facilities to the main entrance on Windsor Road to make better use of the new buildings and concentrate our visitor facilities in one place. The HHT’s long-term ambition is to create a proper cultural centre at Rouse Hill that will provide exhibition and community spaces, a cafe and other amenities for both the Rouse Hill Regional Park and the HHT site. The last 12 months also saw the Hyde Park Barracks inscribed as a World Heritage site. To coincide with this important recognition of one of Sydney’s most significant buildings, the HHT launched a new exhibition, Convict Sydney, at the barracks. Also with the support of the Foundation, we began work on reconstructing the barracks’ guardhouse domes as a fitting tribute to Lachlan Michael Rose, photograph Scott Hill © HHT 8 HISTORIC HOUSES TRUST Annual Report 10 > 11 | Our year in brief Macquarie, whose 200th anniversary of swearing-in as Governor of New South Wales was celebrated in 2010. With the Opera House on Bennelong Point, Macquarie Street now has a World Heritage site at each end, adding to its significance as a major cultural and historical destination. The HHT knows better than anyone that not every historic building can or should be a museum. Supported by the Foundation, our Endangered Houses Fund is unique within Australia in taking on historic buildings at risk and finding new uses for them. This year we acquired

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Established on a land grant in 1817, Woolmers Estate is significant for its history of property development using assigned convict labour. Convict labour was employed in exchange for food and clothing. The assignment system helped to develop the colonial infrastructure, reform convicts, assist settlers in establishing their estates, and in the case of Woolmers, develop the foundations of a successful pastoral property. The homestead assemblage of Woolmers provides evidence of the use of an assigned convict labour force in the extant convict workplaces such as the woolshed, blacksmith shop, stables, gardens and paddocks. The former chapel was built to assist convicts in their reformation. The layout and architecture of the estate demonstrate the strong distinction between master and servant and how that facilitated the assignment system. Woolmers retains an outstanding range of extant buildings that comprises houses, formal gardens, outbuildings, workshops, cottages, plants that along with numerous artefacts provide a rare record of the scale and range of operations of a substantial pastoral estate owned by wealthy colonial pastoralists.

  • The 'Eeeuw' Factor
    NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR: The Viscerally Sensorial Realities of Being the Colonial Gastronomer Jacqui Newling Sydney Living Museums Author’s statement: This paper includes images that people may find confronting or disturbing. No offence is intended in showing these images. This article was prepared on Gadigal and Wangal lands. The places in Sydney Living Museums’ care are on Aboriginal lands. Sydney Living Museums acknowledges the First Nations Peoples, the traditional custodians, and pays respects to the Elders, past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Abstract As the Colonial Gastronomer at Sydney Living Museums I research, interpret, write, blog, lecture, broadcast and present interactive programs to engage and educate audiences about Australian colonial food and heritage. But how do you learn about the sensory qualities of foods that were popular two hundred years ago, especially those that have been discarded from the mainstream (particularly Anglo-Celtic) Australian culinary repertoire? How they looked and tasted, their textures and aromas? My answer: make them. This has meant preparing and cooking foods that many Australian people find offensive, distasteful, disgusting and ‘gross’: calves’ feet jelly, boiled calves’ heads, brawned pig’s face, peeled tongues, and collared eels so fresh they twitch and jump on the Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 7, 2018 —45— NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR benchtop when filleted. This auto-ethnographic analysis draws on my experiences of working with articles of culinary disgust, particularly animal heads and tongues, to reflect upon the pedagogical processes involved in my role as the Colonial Gastronomer.

  • The Story of Barncleuth (Later Kinneil)

Interested parties may contact the editors. Judith O’Callaghan UNSW Australia TROPHY HOUSE: THE STORY OF BARNCLEUTH (LATER KINNEIL) Kinneil was a rare domestic commission undertaken by the prominent, and often controversial architect, J. J. Clark. Though given little prominence in recent assessments of Clark’s oeuvre, plans and drawings of “Kinneil House,” Elizabeth Bay Road, Sydney, were published as a slim volume in 1891. The arcaded Italianate villa represented was in fact a substantial remodelling of an earlier house on the site, Barncleuth. Built by James Hume for wine merchant John Brown, it had been one of the first of the “city mansions” to be erected on the recently subdivided Macleay Estate in 1852. Brown was a colonial success story and Barncleuth was to be both his crowning glory and parting gesture. Within only two years of the house’s completion he was on his way back to Britain to spend the fortune he had amassed in Sydney. Over the following decades, Barncleuth continued to represent the golden prize for the socially mobile.
