WAB News 226 Aug 2018 WAB NEWSLETTER edition number 226, AUGUST 2018 Hello Members of WAB, I spent 2 days at the Kapunda Farm Fair in April and 3 days at the Cleve Field Days recently, highlighting WAB in our regional communities. I was visited by quite a few past members who enjoyed seeing the photos of the rose launch and our Centenary Celebrations in Riverton last year. Thank you so much to the Padthaway branch and in particular, Beth Gale, for lending me the photo displays they organised for their regional conference this year. They are very attractive and have been a great asset to the WAB display. I also made several contacts of prospective new members and I am happy to say that at least one has joined the on-line branch as a result of meeting us at Cleve. I also want to thank Janet Hall and Roz Rowett who helped me at Kapunda and Di Hamlyn, Lyn Siviour, Sally Packer and Lee Russell who helped me at Cleve. My cousin, Michael Smart, also babysat the stall for 1 hour while I had lunch one day. I attended the Limestone Coast Conference on 5th April at Padthaway and the Mallee Conference on 23rd April at Karoonda and both were most enjoyable. I learnt a lot about Argentina and climbing mountains of numerous sorts. The theme was interwoven into the presentations of almost all of the speakers or performers which were fascinating. Thank you to Padthaway and Yurgo Branches for their great programs. The history display of WAB at NCWSA House in Adelaide was much enjoyed by those attending and Thelma Newman and I loved talking about WAB for the 2 day event. We met several members of NCWSA and have made new friends. Some women had never heard of us, so it was definitely worthwhile to become more public. Our visit from Ruth Shanks was memorable and the events well attended. It also gave an opportunity for WAB and CWA members to mingle with ACWW as our common cause. We certainly learnt a lot about behind the scenes from Ruth and can appreciate the benefits of our Coins for Friendship better than before. Recently I attended the Eyre Peninsula Gathering at Arno Bay where we learnt about the Solomon Islands. The new theme was also discussed and we each shared our WAB story in order to be a good neighbour on the day. I gave a talk on my previous experience as a Forensic Scientist, which is fun to share. Thank you to Pinkawillinie Branch for organising the day. WAB sponsored a nomination for the Ruth Gibson Award, which was successfully won by my daughter, Rosemary. The award was shared by Marijke Eastaugh. Rosie is now studying in Nottingham Uni, UK and has appreciated the extra money to set herself up in the attic of a shared house for the next 11 months. She is really enjoying her experience. It was with great delight to learn that WAB won a grant from the Adelaide White Ribbon Breakfast to conduct 4 regional events focusing on Domestic Violence. They will take place on 19th, 30th, 31st Oct and 1st Nov in Kimba, Clare, Keith and Naracoorte respectively. We look forward to working with other community groups in each region to allow as many people as possible to attend them. I will see many of you at the State Conference at Murray Bridge on 31st August. Take care driving there. Yours in WAB, Sandra Young CENTRAL REGION Cunliffe: enjoyed Paul Correll’s photos of Argentina and hearing of his trip there with his wife. They found Argentina to be a wonderful, picturesque country with a very colourful history. Having been settled by the Spanish the main religion is Catholicism. The history of Eva Peron, first as the President’s wife then as President is confusing for some as she was very powerful and had many enemies. Eva did gain the vote for women and had a Hospital built for women; she died aged 33 years. The Corrells had a cruise in Patagonia, known as the End of the World, and travelled around the Horn and up to Punta Arenas. Carers and Disability Link speaker Susan Poole spoke about Multiple Sclerosis and gave us a clear over view of the illness and associated problems. Rosedale/Sandy Creek: :- We were very lucky to have 3 visitors for our afternoon, Joyce from Williamstown and our Vice President’s lovely Granddaughter Beck and her little son Jaxon, as they were visiting from interstate. We all enjoyed a short meeting where we discussed the new Theme, Country of Study and Project. We had some lovely entries for our monthly competition, which was “A small garden ornament” and there were some very cute entries and some lovely flowers for our “flower of the month”. We visited Abbeyfield Nursing Home at Williamstown, were welcomed by the Activities Manager, Gerry and had a lovely afternoon visiting the delightful residents during their craft afternoon and renewing our acquaintance with two of our past members Laurence and Mavis. These two ladies are both in their late nineties and still take part in all the activities provided and were greatly interested in Members hard at work solving the puzzles ‘PROVERBS’ hearing all the news from WAB. Our branch records and ‘NUMBERS’ showed us that it was the day after Mavis’s birthday Eunice Simpfendorfer, Hilda Lange, Dawn Schultz, so we all gave her a rousing Happy Birthday whilst visitor Joyce Glendenning, Jean Randall, Pauline Davids. enjoying afternoon tea. The Director found time to join us and was delighted when we gave a vote of thanks and a donation to them for kindly finding the time to give us a tour of their lovely complex. Our Speaker in July was Rob Richter, a member of the National Trust and member of the Gawler History Team. He has a wealth of knowledge about the very beginnings of the town of Gawler and it was most interesting to hear how the town grew from one Hotel to cater for passing travellers to the large and busy town it is today. The discovery of copper at Kapunda and later gold at Burra was a big factor in the progress of the town and at the height of these discoveries there were many bullock wagons a day passing through Murray Street. Of course bit by bit the town developed with more buildings, shops, hotels and the Town Hall, the arrival of the railway and the Rail industry established by James Martin. We all enjoyed reminiscing about the changes we have all seen over the years and recalling all the old shops which have come and gone in the main street. Rob has researched his subject well and joined us for afternoon tea where we all enjoyed listening to more stories of Gawler’s beginnings. Strathalbyn: The beginning of 2018 saw 6 Strathalbyn Branch members continue to meet under the leadership of Secretary/Facilitator, Thelma Newman. Monthly meetings have continued, with Lunch meetings supporting local businesses and home meetings provide members with the opportunity to support our WAB Project, Multiple Sclerosis as well as discussing various subjects. Members celebrated the Branch's 82nd Birthday in April by attending Strathalbyn Players Musical Cabaret production titled "Archy & Mehitabel", a great fun night to which 3 husbands also attended. Our more informal meetings have attracted a former member to re-join our Branch and several locals have indicated their interest in joining our Branch.

Left to Right: Janette Harvey, Heather McMurtrie, Thelma Newman and Margaret Schmidt "Photo courtesy of The Southern Argus" Historian Report WAB Historian, Thelma Newman is progressing the Pictorial History of WAB and will make every effort to bring the completed USB’s to the AGM at Murray Bridge. EYRE PENINSULA REGION Charlton: Peter and Margaret Knife from Eyre Peninsula Community Foundation and Sharyn White from Country Health Connect gave an informative presentation about the Foundation and palliative care and home hospice. The presentation was attended by 32 people. Joy Whennan from Beers News-agency in Port Lincoln shared her life’s journey from farming to running the local news agency. Joy commenced with a discussion about the early days of newspapers and each newspaper’s role in rural communities. These included The Advertiser that kept people connected with engagement announcements, deaths notices etc., The News that came out in the afternoon, and the most wonderful paper The Chronicle that was found in almost every country home and had everything from recipes, pen friends and letters to Aunt Dorothy. Every small community had access to these newspapers, and the newsagency and the pub were the local hubs. Adelaide newspapers had regional sections, e.g. specifically for the EP. Then came the Trading Post that was solely for buying and selling anything and everything, with each issue highly awaited. Most towns had a local paper full of local personal stories as they had local reporters and were printed locally. Printing presses were amalgamated and local news was lost and the news became generalised. Almost every home had home delivery, allowing for secure orders for newsagencies. There was a change to plastic wrapping newspapers, including a short period of flat wrapping papers that meant the delivery person could no longer throw papers out to both sides of the road. There was a perception by city reps that country people were backward and most local business people gave them twelve months but they persisted and succeeded. They worked hard with a large mail run and with Joy’s husband throwing papers seven days a week with two paper runs per day.

  • The Trial and Execution of Elizabeth Woolcock in South Australia in 1873
    ‘INNOCENT VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE’ OR ‘A VERY DEVIL INCARNATE’? THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF ELIZABETH WOOLCOCK IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA IN 1873 DAVID PLATER, JOANNA DUNCAN † AND SUE MILNE This article considers the trial and execution of Elizabeth Woolcock in 1873 for the alleged murder of her husband by poison. In examining the evidence adduced against her, notably the inconclusive scientific evidence, it is argued that Elizabeth was not the callous murderer presented by the prosecution but an ‘innocent victim of circumstance’ who was convicted and condemned to death, as much upon speculation and stereotype, as upon the tenuous strength of the prosecution case. Both Elizabeth’s trial and her eventual fate can be viewed in a wider context and illustrate the often polarised perception and treatment of female capital offenders during this period. Elizabeth’s already heinous crime in murdering her husband, further aggravated through her use of poison, and her purported liaison with another man, combined to brand her as ‘a devil incarnate’ and served to forfeit any claims to mercy on her behalf. Despite the real doubts as to her guilt and the strong mitigating factors that existed in her favour, Elizabeth Woolcock was destined to be the only woman in South Australia to ever suffer ‘the ultimate penalty of the law’. † David Plater BA/LLB, LLM, PhD, School of Law, University of South Australia; Honorary Research Fellow, University of Tasmania; Senior Legal Officer, State Attorney-General’s Department, Adelaide.

  • South Australian Press Coverage of the Debate on the Climatic Influence of Forests: 1836-1956
    13 South Australian press coverage of the debate on the climatic influence of forests: 1836-1956. Stephen Legg Introduction he origins of the notion that forests could attract rain date back to classical antiquity (Glacken T1967), but in the mid-Nineteenth century the idea became elevated almost to an article of faith among many European scientists in the fields of agriculture, botany and forestry. They were imbued with a new-found appreciation developed during the late-Eighteenth and early-Nineteenth centuries that the Earth was old yet dynamic and that environments, including climate, could change – both naturally and through human agency. The debate on the climatic influence of forests quickly spread to the New World, first in North America and later throughout Australasia particularly with the advance of the agricultural frontier and its attendant assault on the forests. Initially the focus was on the consequences of large-scale removal of trees in heavily-timbered arable lands. Later, attention turned to the possibilities of ‘climate making’ through afforestation both to redress deforestation and to extend the supposed climatic benefit of trees to grasslands. The latter seemed especially important in drought-prone Australia. More than just another scientific controversy or a commentary on contemporary environmental destruction, the notion that trees directly influenced climate also became a familiar historiographical trope in literature as diverse as history, geography and travel- writing to help explain the rise and fall of some civilizations in now arid lands in the Old World. The fledgling sciences of climatology, forestry, and ecology provided further legitimacy in the 1860s to what has been termed an ‘awakening to forest conservation’ through which the various values of forests were considerably prioritised in public policy agendas.

Suddenly the future was tremendously uncertain for 3000 or more employees of the two major Australian newspaper companies and hundreds of thousands of readers. Probably one-quarter of the uncertain jobs belonged to journalists and editors. Fairfax was specific: 1900 jobs would be lost. News did not set a figure, but the estimates by observers put the losses at between 1000 and 1500 jobs.
