  • 315 Bagot Road, Subiaco
    City of Subiaco Heritage Place Record Name Uniting Church Address 315-317 Bagot Road Subiaco Lot Number 404/45 Photograph (2014) Construction Date 1897 Architectural Style Federation Gothic Historical Notes This building was constructed in 1897 for the Presbyterian Church and opened on 9th March 1898. The church was designed by architect James Husband McFarlane. Little biographical information has been found relating to this architect. He was born in Tasmania in 1863 and after a brief stay in Western Australia in 1898 he was back living in Tasmania by 1899 before relocating to Victoria. No comparative work by McFarlane was found in this research. A foundation stone was laid on Saturday 11th December 1897 by F. A. Mosely, a senior member of the Presbyterian Church. At the time of this ceremony The Western Mail described the plans for the church as follows. The building, when complete will be 45ft long by 30ft wide and 14ft high to the wall plate. The roof will be ceiled with diagonally-laid matchboards and the interior of the walls will be plastered. The windows will be of cathedral glass. The estimated cost of the church will be about £450. Several donations of materials have been made, including one of 10,000 bricks, given by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr Doyle. The work of the erection is being carried out by day labour under the supervision of the architect, Mr J. H. McFarlane. The decision to build a Presbyterian church in Subiaco was part of a broader extension work of the Presbyterian church. The population of Perth in Western Australia during the 1890s grew rapidly in response to the gold discoveries.

  • ROSS DEMPSEY BLANCHARD Chapter 1: December 1922 to 1927 Chapter 2
    ROSS DEMPSEY BLANCHARD Chapter 1: December 1922 to 1927 I have a very strong belief that I was a gleam in my mother and fathers' eyes about Xmas 1922 or New Year 1923, for I arrived on the scene about 17:30 Western Standard Time on 28 September 1923 at Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia. I have absolutely no personal recollections of this very important occasion. (Not sure where the name Ross came from, but second name, Dempsey, was the maiden name of my grandmother.) I was the second child, having an older sister, Margaret born in 1920, and a younger sister, Lesley born in 1928. My father had been appointed in 1919 to Ross Memorial Church, West Perth and in 1922 was elected moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Western Australia. My mother used to tell me, some years later, that she had to be very careful to keep our front gate shut, otherwise I would get out and run like crazy down Hay Street with her in very hot pursuit. I have only two recollections of this period, and both of these were on board the steamship which took us to live in Wellington, New Zealand, in early 1927. The first of these was being a bit cheeky to one of the crew, and as a gesture to put me back in order, he grabbed me by the ankles and held me over the side of the ship. I was very excited at the sight of the white waves whistling past below, with absolutely no fear, but a little bit sad as my halfpenny fortune slipped out of one of my pockets and disappeared for ever.

The discussion paper suggests the SPD officers and executive committee be appointed by SPD delegates at General Conference sessions, with departmental leaders elected and reports delivered to the first meeting of the newly appointed executive committee. The proposal will be discussed further, before being considered at the SPD session to be held in Melbourne, beginning August 30 next year. “We need to ensure we’re operating as efficiently as we can and accept the way we’ve done things in the past is not necessarily the best for the future,” says Pastor Evans.
