  • John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection
    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection Introduction The John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection of the American Radio Archives documents Pickard's career in the early days of Australian radio, as well as the collaboration between Pickard and Provo that lasted nearly 40 years, and resulted in radio programs such as Wendy Warren and the News and Young Doctor Malone, as well as television programs such as Concerning Miss Marlowe and From these Roots. Biographies John Pickard was born on April 6, 1910 in Sydney, Australia. He entered the University of Sydney to study law in 1927, yet also acted in plays as a member of the Sydney University Drama Society. It was during this time that Pickard, intrigued by the new medium of radio, tried his hand at writing a radio play titled The Tomb of Osiris. This work was performed on various stations throughout Australia, and is considered by some to be the first original Australian radio play. By 1931, acting in radio productions had become Pickard's main occupation, and he was considered one of the brightest young actors on Australian radio during his tenure with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) Players, whose performances were broadcast on station 2FC in Sydney. He continued writing and directing plays as well, being promoted to the Head of Drama Productions at the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1933. Pickard wrote series such as Crime Club, and also adapted American programs like One Man's Family, in which he substituted Australian settings, situations, and colloquialisms. By 1935, however, Pickard wanted to try something new and left for the United States in August of that year.

Scammell was on the 114th day of its voyage from New York to Melbourne, and had set a course for Port Phillip Heads when bad weather and rough seas dragged the ship towards shore. It ran aground on a reef at Point Danger near Torquay. There were 22 people on-board the Scammell, including the wife and daughter of Captain J. A. Chapman. The ship's dangerous position was first noticed by local fishermen at approximately 11am, and one of the local fishermen, Felix Rosser, attempted to row out to the ship to provide assistance, but was forced back to shore by strong seas. The following day after the seas had settled, and with a crowd of onlookers watching from the shore, the crew of the ship were able to lower a boat and evacuate all on board. The stormy weather which had caused the accident did not abate for some time, and the ship began to break up, littering the beach with wreckage and the £60,000 cargo. By the following Sunday crowds of looters were flocking to the area.

  • A Bushranger at Bondi Junction
    A bushranger at Bondi Junction Sketch of Johnny Gilbert, c. 1860s The Waverley Hotel was an early local hotel which used to stand near the corner of Bondi Road and Waverley Crescent, Bondi Junction. It was described as ‘a bush shanty standing about 200 yards from the road’. On Saturday, 14 January 1854 the hotel was the scene of a murder when publican John Davis was found hacked to death. A newspaper description of the crime scene gives a sense of the bloody scene: ‘On the left side of the head was a terrible gash extending from eye to the ear, the bed and bedding being saturated with blood. Under the bed was found a blood-stained axe which had done the deed.’ The isolation of Bondi Junction made locals even more fearful that a murderer was loose in their midst, with the newspaper going on to explain: ‘This event has struck no small degree of dismay into the residents of the neighbourhood…there being no police protection, the nearest point…they could send for a constable being Paddington, a distance of nearly three miles.’ Suspicion immediately fell upon John Davis’s nephew, Joseph Roberts, described as a ‘mild looking youth said to be 17 years of age’ who worked with his uncle at the hotel and was now missing. Several mounted police started a search and Roberts was found 228 km from Sydney at Collector, near Canberra. He stated that he was riding to the goldfields. Evidence of Roberts’ guilt was purely circumstantial and local residents vouched for the boy’s good character.

Both will attempt to answer the question: How has the moral ambiguity that marks both colonial and contemporary Australian crime fiction been informed and influenced by the dissenter and anti- authoritarian aspects of Australian history and character? Crime fiction has a long tradition in Australian culture, ensured by its Western origins as a penal colony.

  • OBJECT BIOGRAPHY Gold Bullion
    Landmarks: People and Places across Australia, a gallery bringing together over 1500 objects, explores the history of Australia since European settlement. OBJECT BIOGRAPHY Gold Bullion Box At about noon on Sunday 15 June 1862 a coach left Forbes, bound for Orange, on the first stage of its journey to Sydney. Inside were mailbags, and four iron boxes packed with bank notes and gold. Four policemen and a driver travelled in and on the coach. This was the Lachlan ‘gold escort’. Every week it left Forbes on the same journey. People would gather to watch its departure. This time, five hours down the road near the tiny The Gold Bullion Box probably made after the 1862 hold-up. Photo: Lannon Harley, National settlement of Eugowra, a group of men were Museum of Australia. waiting for it, concealed behind a clump of large rocks. ‘Bail up!’ was the cry and amidst gunfire, frantic horses and wounded policemen, the coach capsized. A treasure of £14,000 was there for the taking. The heist had been carefully planned and led by a man calling himself Frank Gardiner, and with him was a group of eight or nine others, including John Gilbert, John O’Meally and, probably, Ben Hall. Bullion boxes and bags were loaded on to pack horses and at a camp about five kilometres away from the hold-up site, the men smashed open the boxes with an American tomahawk that Gilbert had bought in Forbes for this purpose. Gardiner had, in the preceding weeks, mingled among the crowd in Forbes on escort day and had probably observed that the boxes were secured only with Chubb padlocks.

While these photographs are often reproduced, their author remained unidentified, their purpose unknown. The lives of their subjects also remained unexamined. This study used government records, contemporary newspaper reportage, convict memoirs, historical research and modern criminological theory to identify the photographer, to discover the purpose and use of his work, and to develop an understanding of the criminal careers of these men.
