I then went on to cater for small, low budget, residential Ameetings and gatherings. It was great fun. Food was always vegetarian, and I enjoyed the challenge of being as inclusive as possible while catering for a variety of special needs – even for the person who put ‘vegan’ just to see what turned up! Not long ago I attended a large Quaker conference. The accommodation was of a high standard and at mealtimes, with great generosity, arrangements were made for Friends to sit in ‘friendship’ groups rather than grouped as vegetarian and ‘others’. Those with special requirements were served at the table of their choice. I was astounded by the bad manners and the abuse of the staff as they scurried around trying to meet the many different needs of Friends. The undisguised disdain – ‘Why! It is so easy to make a fat-reduced pudding!’ – and bad-tempered grumblings were embarrassing. Much more so the comment overheard in the kitchen: ‘Are these people really Christians?’ It was a very shocking experience for those of us who were at the conference to work with the children, especially when reflecting on our experience of Junior Yearly Meeting where the young people are commended for their appreciation of both the food and the staff who are serving them. Recently I presided over a ‘Flower Fairy’ tea party. Once it had been established that the five-year-old guest was allergic to Marmite the party got under way, plates were offered and Marmite snails passed over in favour of slippery slugs (sausages) and butterfly wings. Conversation flowed and, towards the end of tea, the hostess, also five, leant over and said, very gently, ‘Maeve – you have such lovely manners.’ Friends will soon be meeting in Bath. When it comes to being looked after by the university staff, I hope all Friends will remember their manners.

John Henry Barlow (1855-1924) was clerk of London Yearly Meeting from 1913 to 1916. He led Quakers in opposing the 1914 Defence of the Realm Act and in 1915 became a leading member of the No-Conscription Fellowship. He helped to establish the Friends Ambulance Unit and was the first secretary of the Bournville Village Trust. There was a strong family turnout at the event, including three generations of John Henry’s descendants. There were several grandchildren, a great-grandchild, and also great-great-grandchildren. The newly elected lord mayor of Birmingham, Shafique Shah, and his wife were in attendance. Tony Barlow, a grandson, commented that they were ‘unfailingly kind and showed genuine interest and concern in the work of the Quaker pacifists’.

He is Chairman of Engineering Heritage South Australia and Vice President of the History Council of South Australia. His email is [email protected] Beginnings In Part 1 we looked the River Torrens as a friend—a source of water vital to the establishment of the new settlement. However, in common with so many other European settlements, the developing community very quickly polluted its own water supply and another source had to be found. This was still the River Torrens but the water was collected in the Torrens Gorge, about 13 kilometres north-east of the City, and piped down Payneham Road to the Valve House in the East Parklands. Water from this source was first made available in December 1860 as reported in the South Australian Advertiser on 26 December. The significant challenge presented by the Torrens was getting across it. In summer, when the river was little more than a series of pools, you could just walk across. However, there must have been a significant body of water somewhere – probably in the vicinity of today’s weir – because in July 1838 tenders were called ‘For the rent for six months of the small punt on the Torrens for foot passengers, for each of whom a toll of one penny will be authorised to be charged from day-light to dark, and two pence after dark’ (Register 28 July).

  • Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield's Systematic Colonization in South
    When Colonization Goes South: Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield’s Systematic Colonization in South Australia Edwyna Harris Monash University Sumner La Croix* University of Hawai‘i 3 December 2018 Abstract Britain after the Napoleonic wars saw the rise of colonial reformers, such as Edward Wakefield, who had extensive influence on British colonial policy. A version of Wakefield’s “System of Colonization” became the basis for an 1834 Act of Parliament establishing the South Australia colony. We use extended versions of Robert Lucas’s 1990 model of a colonial economy to illustrate how Wakefield’s institutions were designed to work. Actual practice followed some of Wakefield’s principles to the letter, with revenues from SA land sales used to subsidize passage for more than 15,000 emigrants over the 1836-1840 period. Other principles, such as surveying land in advance of settlement and maintaining a sufficient price of land, were ignored. Initial problems stemming from delays in surveying and a dysfunctional division of executive authority slowed the economy’s development over its first three years and led to a financial crisis. These difficulties aside, we show that actual SA land institutions were more aligned with geographic and political conditions in SA than the ideal Wakefield institutions and that the SA colony thrived after it took measures to speed surveying and reform its system of divided executive authority.

  • Summary of State Heritage Place
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Houghton Union Chapel PLACE NO.: 26493 ADDRESS: 21 Blackhill Road, Houghton SA 5131 CT 5462/764 AL2 FP3148 Hundred Yatala STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Houghton Union Chapel is one of the earliest church, school and community buildings in the State, and has significant associations with the early religious development of South Australia. The Houghton Chapel was built cooperatively by members of the Wesleyan Methodist, Congregational and Episcopalian Churches in 1845, and was shared by them as a place of worship until 1874. South Australia was founded on principles of non-discrimination against dissenting denominations. Demonstrating the religious freedom the first settlers to South Australia enjoyed, the Houghton Union Chapel has significant associations with the distinctive early religious development of the colony, and in particular with the religious cooperation that prompted the construction of several multi-denominational or ‘Union’ Chapels. The building was also used as a local primary school from 1847 until 1877 and is one of the earliest examples of a building used for schooling prior to the standardisation of education in South Australia in 1875. The Chapel has been little altered for over 160 years, and thus provides a rare insight into early construction techniques and materials, as well as into the design of early church buildings. Summary of State Heritage Place: 26493 Confirmed by the South Australian Heritage Council 11 April 2019 1 of 17 RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (a) it demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history The Houghton Union Chapel demonstrates significant aspects of the evolution of the State’s history, in particular the early religious development of the state.

  • Victoria Day Council Speech
    Foreword – including the period from 1835 to Separation from NSW July 1, 1851 Gary Morgan - La Trobe Lecture, presented July 5, 2008 (Prepared over the period late July 2008 to Dec 23, 2008 and then May 2009) Since presenting my Victoria Day Council 2008 La Trobe Lecture in Queen’s Hall, Parliament House of Victoria, many people have sent me corrections, suggestions and additions; in particular Stewart McArthur, Barry Jones, and Ian Morrison. In addition Pauline Underwood and I have sourced numerous additional books, papers and other documents. They are listed as Governor Charles La Trobe. c 1851 further references at the end of this (The Roy Morgan Research Centre Pty Ltd Collection) Foreword. I expect those who study my La Trobe Lecture to advise me of which aspects they disagree with and how they could better explain the points I have covered. I do not claim to be an expert in Victorian history, or English history or any history. However, my main conclusion is Victoria and Australia ‘came of age’ during the gold miners’ ‘diggers’ confrontation with the new Victorian Government and Governor Charles La Trobe and then Governor Sir Charles Hotham. The dispute began in earnest in mid-1853 with the formation of the ‘Anti-Gold Licence Association’ established by G. E. Thomson, Dr Jones and ‘Captain’ Edward Brown – the precursor to the Eureka Stockade, December 3, 1854. The Eureka trials ‘bonded’ Victorians with a common cause and opened the way for a vibrant Victorian Colony. My LaTrobe Lecture focused on three areas: ‘Women, the Media and People from Other Countries who have helped make Melbourne and Victoria from 1851 to Today’.
