Energy and confidence in Australia grew.T he 1920s were called the ‘roaring twenties’ because they brought great wealth. The aviation and film industries thrived in Australia. The 1930s, however, became the ‘lean thirties’ and were a time of great hardship. Australian people relied more on their working-class heroes for inspiration. In 1938, at the end of this period, world events were moving towards another world war. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Australians lived wherever they could find shelter, such as this family who lived in a cave in New South Wales. 4 5 A snapshot of history 1920–1938 After the sacrifices of World War I, Australia A Great Depression began in the United States Don Bradman, a great moved into a time of growth.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Frederick Fisher and the Legend of Fisher's Ghost Booklet(4MB, PDF)
    Frederick Fisher and the legend of Fisher’s Ghost Your guide to Campbelltown’s most infamous resident Frederick Fisher and the legend of Fisher’s Ghost The legend of Fisher’s Ghost is one of Australia’s most well-known ghost stories. Since John Farley first told the story of his encounter with the spectre, tales of the ghost have inspired writers, artists, poets, songwriters and film producers, and captivated the imagination of generations. Who was Frederick Fisher? Frederick George James Fisher was born in London on 28 August 1792. He was the son of James and Ann Fisher, who were London bookbinders and booksellers of Cripplegate and Greenwich. Fred was of average height, had a fair complexion and brown hair. By his early 20s, he was a shopkeeper, and although unmarried, was believed to possibly be the father of two children. Either innocently or deliberately, Fred obtained forged bank notes through his business for which he was arrested and tried at the Surrey Gaol Delivery on 26 July 26 1815. He was sentenced to 14 years transportation to Australia with 194 other convicts aboard the Atlas, which set sail from England on 16 January 1816, and landed in Australia eight months later, on 16 September 1816. Fred Fisher could read and write and because literate men were rare in the colony, the crown solicitor recommended him to the colonial administrator, TJ Campbell, who attached Fred to his staff. Within two years, Fred was assigned as superintendent to the Waterloo Flour Company, which was owned and managed by ex-convicts and was the most influential and dynamic enterprise in colonial NSW.

  • Chapter 3 Good Mother, Bad Mother and the Changing Boundaries
    1 chapter 3 good mother, bad mother and the changing boundaries The mothering of a child is not something that can be arranged by rota; it is a live human relationship which alters the characters of both partners.1 Traditionally, the good mother has been associated with self-sacrifice. An extract from a Catholic education course on marriage in 1958 illustrates the point: To successfully fulfil her vocation of motherhood, the woman should possess great qualities of heart. Her entire life should be devoted to procuring happiness for those around her…It is natural for her to be devoted.2 This view of motherhood assigns women to a subservient position. It does not take into account the changing structure of the family, and instead, creates an environment which reinforces the belief that the mother's place is within the home, and primarily concerned with raising the children. The restrictive maternal role is endorsed in part by images in films which have the capacity to both reflect and influence ways of thinking. This chapter considers the representation of the mother in Australian feature films to decipher the way in which the narrative characterises good and bad maternal behaviour. The introductory chapter of this research contained a broad overview of historical events which were significant for the maternal role. The present chapter, in its first section, deals in more detail with those aspects which relate directly to expectations of good mothering. The second section of the chapter examines the way the mother is depicted in films. The designation of her as either a good or bad mother can be determined by her demeanour, the attitude of others towards her and, perhaps, above all, by her treatment in the narrative in terms of penalties or benefits reaped by her behaviour.

Nationhood, it seemed, was in the air. The 1890 Australian Federation Conference in Melbourne, followed by the 1891 National Australasian Convention in Sydney, appeared to confirm genuine interest in the national cause. Yet the Melbourne and Sydney meetings brought together only politicians and those who might be politicians. These were meetings, held in the Australian continent’s two most influential cities, which only succeeded in registering the aims and ambitions of a very narrow section of the colonial population. In the months following Sydney’s Convention, the momentum of the official movement was dissipated as the big strikes and severe depression engulfed the colonies.
