PAULINES AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE On Monday 25 March 2013, the Students’ Club Committee, with the Warden and Sub-Warden, were invited to Government House for a reception by the Governor of New South Wales, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO. The Governor is the patron of the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, where our Sub-Warden, Dr Mark Schembri, is the Chairman of the Veterinary Committee. Her Excellency was very keen to show the Paulines around the residence, as she has a special affinity with our College. Not only is she a former resident of The Women’s College, but she was married in the College chapel by Dr Felix Arnott, Warden. Her Excellency gave us a personal tour, detailing the history of our former Governors and explaining the background to some exquisite art on display. The portrait of Governor Sir Harry Rawson attracted particular interest from the men. Her Excellency stressed the importance of agriculture in Australia and encouraged Paulines to support the Sydney Royal Easter Show. We took her advice and two days later spent a fantastic afternoon and evening at the Show going behind the scenes, again accompanied by the Sub-Warden. This is the 50th Anniversary of Victoriana ! 12, 13, 19, 20 July Booking sheets will be posted in a few weeks. BE THERE !!!

  • SIR DUDLEY DE CHAIR Memoirs , C. 1955
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR DUDLEY DE CHAIR Memoirs , c. 1955 Reel M716 Commander H.G.D. de Chair Maintop Felden Lane Boxmoor, Hertfordshire National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1969 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Dudley Rawson Stratford de Chair (1864-1958) was born in Lennoxville, Canada. His uncle, Admiral Sir Harry Rawson, was Governor of New South Wales in 1902-9. De Chair’s family returned to England in 1870 and in 1878 he joined the Royal Navy, becoming a midshipman in 1880. He was promoted to commander in 1897, captain in 1902 and rear admiral in 1912. De Chair married Enid Struben in 1903. In 1915-16 he was commander of the tenth cruiser squadron, which was responsible for the North Sea blockade of Germany. He was knighted in 1916 and promoted to vice admiral in 1917. In 1918 he took command of the coastguard and reserves. He became an admiral in 1920. De Chair was appointed Governor of New South Wales in October 1923 and he and Lady de Chair arrived in Sydney in February 1924. He faced considerable political difficulties following the election in May 1825 of a Labor Government led by J.T. Lang. Lang’s attempts to appoint 25 new members to the Legislative Council, with the ultimate aim of abolishing the Council, were foiled by de Chair, leading to calls from Government supporters for his recall. The tensions between Premier and Governor ended when the Lang Government was defeated at the election in October 1927. The rest of the governorship was mostly uneventful.

  • A Portrait of a Governor Foreword
    A Portrait of a Governor Foreword t is my great pleasure to introduce ‘A Portrait of a Governor’ – the stories of the 26 Imen and women who have graciously and diligently served the people as Governor since Queensland became a colony separate from New South Wales in 1859. Since my swearing-in as Queensland’s 26th vice-regal representative in July 2014, with Kaye, I have often found myself walking in the footsteps of my distinguished predecessors, from standing beside the Eternal Flame lit by Sir John Goodwin in ANZAC Square to officially opening the ‘Ekka’, as did Sir William Cairns for the first time in 1876, to hearing ‘Waltzing Matilda’ performed live in Winton, lifting spirits, in similar drought circumstances as its first vice-regal performance in front of Lord Lamington in 1895. From the Normanby River to the Blackall Ranges to our northernmost city of Cairns, our Governors have influenced the development of modern Queensland. This publication is very much about telling these stories, and it does so by gathering, conveniently in one place, portraits of our Governors. The portraits were completed at various stages throughout each of the Governors’ careers, and the myriad styles and mediums in which they have been presented reflect the different ways Governors were understood by the people. ‘A Portrait of a Governor’ offers a window into Queensland’s richly historic past. It also highlights how the Governor’s constitutional, ceremonial and community roles have evolved over time. It pulls from history the families who made their home at Old Government House and at Fernberg, and charts a century and a half of gubernatorial travel, from north of the Tweed to the Islands of the Torres Strait and a lot further west than Winton! It shows, through the prism of the vice-regal office, how the State has struggled with natural disasters, and the challenges of war and peace.
