West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879 - 1954), Saturday 17 July 1937, page 6 BUILDERS OF THE STATE. John Henry Monger. FROM the first days of settlement in Western Australia members of the Monger family have been closely identified with its development and have contributed their full quota to its progress. John Henry Monger, senior, an immigrant from England, arrived here in 1830 within a year of the Colony's foundation. He seems to have tem porarily made his home in what is now known as the Leederville Ward of Greater Perth. Two place names of our city perpetuate that of the Monger family -- Lake Monger and Monger street. It was near the lake that John Henry Monger, jun., the subject of this notice, was born 107 years ago. The family did not long remain domiciled so near the capital, but trekked eastward. Ensign Dale's explorations of the Avon Valley and reports concerning its agricultural possibilities led the founder of the Monger family to take up land in the York district, with which some of its representatives have ever since been closely connected. Here farming operations were carried on in a comparatively small way until John Henry Monger, jun., on his father's death, succeeded to the modest paternal estate which, under his masterful hands, was so greatly enlarged that when he died in 1892 it embraced an area of 30,000 acres of freehold and conditional purchase land, much of it among the richest in the country. The estate was soon highly developed. Monger's broad acres were cultivated if not as scentifically as are the best farms of today in strict accordance with the approved husbandry practices of the time. Grazing operations were conducted not less successfully. Both as farmer and pastoralist John Henry Monger set high standards for his dis trict. He was not afraid of making experiments. One on which he was among the first to venture one in which sheep were concerned amounted almost to a managerial revolution. He abandoned the traditional practice of having his sheep shepherded. Convinced that this system was good neither for the sheep owner nor his flocks, he resolved on trying another. Reliable shepherds were not readily to be had, and of shepherds who were employed many neglected their charges or unnecessarily harassed them. The remedy, J. H. Monger was persuaded, lay in fencing and to fencing he had recourse. The result of his example and precept touching this matter was an ever widening adoption of fencing to which he substantially contributed by importing large quantities of fencing wire and supplying it to pastoralists on long and easy terms of credit. It was not to the cultivation of cereals and the raising of sheep that this progressive and boldly enterprising West Australian restricted his activities. He established a mercantile business with branches in Perth, York and elsewhere, a business which fully shared, with the two older firms, that of John Bateman, Fremantle, and that of George Shenton in Perth, in the wholesale and retail trading business of the country. Monger's wholesale warehouse in the city was situated in William-street, a property ultimately acquired by Dalgety and Co., who having demolished the old premises now occupy the site with their offices. The retail business was carried on in Hay-street and did not pass into other hands until affer its founder's death in 1892. Nearly 30 years prior to this, J. H. Monger, following on the discovery that for West Australian sandalwood there was a market in China, proceeded vigorously to exploit it. For long he was the Colony's leading exporter of this aromatic wood. It is not easy for the present generation of West Australians to realise what the sandalwood trade Page 1 of 17 Friday, March 20, 2020 4:57:10 PM Generation 1 (cont.) not easy for the present generation of West Australians to realise what the sandalwood trade meant for this country in the late sixties, the seventies and eighties of last century. Its value for a time ranked second among the Colony's exports, while it provided employment directly and indirectly for an army of workers who would otherwise have been idle. Hundreds of cutters were engaged in the bush felling the wood, while wheelrights and blacksmiths in Perth, Guildford and York found it difficult to keep pace with the demand for new drays and waggons and for repairs to old ones which together made up the endless streams of sandalwood teams on the roads between the city and the sandal wood camps throughout what ls now the eastern and north-eastern sections of the wheatbelt. Owing to the growth of motor traffic a farrier is now a curiosity, but in the sandalwooding days his forges were to be seen in every town and village, with horses often in long queues waiting to be shod. This sandalwood trade which J. H. Monger amazingly developed also provided a good deal of employment for men who trimmed the product clean of bark and outer sappy growth before shipping and for wharf labourers. It was John Henry Monger who opened up this export trade and was for some time the largest purchaser of the commodity. Among his many other activities must be mentioned that of shipowner. Jointly with George Shenton he owned the barque Helena Mena, named after the owners' respective eldest daughters. The Helena Mena, with a sister ship, the Charlotte Padbury, voyaged regularly between Perth and London, making annually one trip each way with an outward cargo mostly of wool and an inward cargo of general merchandise. For many years after the Colony was founded a currency problem was continually recurring. Even after the first bank was established coin or bank notes were not always readily obtainable. It was because of this state of things that John Henry Monger and other commercial houses issued cash orders, a practice which while it led occasionally to abuses seems generally to have served a public convenience. -J. H. Monger was a member of the old Legislative Council. One of his sons, the late F. C. Monger, long represented the York district in the Legislative Assembly. Another son, the only surviving member of a family of four sons and four daughters, is Alex Monger, who occupies the ancestral home, Faversham, York, and who, like his father, has large pastoral and agricultural interests and strives, like him, at being a model landed proprietor. It should be mentioned that John Henry Monger built and presented to the Methodist body the church it now occupies in the town of York.

  • Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough)
    PARLIAMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough) Address-in-Reply Debate Legislative Assembly Wednesday, 30 March 2005 Reprinted from Hansard Legislative Assembly Wednesday, 30 March 2005 ____________ Inaugural Speech Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough) ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion MR G.A. WOODHAMS (Greenough) [5.20 pm]: It is a great honour to address this Assembly. Peter Watson and I have run a few long races in our lives. Today is probably the longest race I have run. There have been a few false starts, but it is great to be able to get to say what I want to say. I represent the electorate of Greenough. It is a very famous electorate in Western Australia. Its history goes back to the middle of the 19th century. I begin by talking about the electorate and why it is called Greenough. It is named after George Bellas Greenough, who was a president of the Royal Geographical Society of WA. Originally, George Bellas Greenough’s name was just George Bellas. He lost his parents in his early years and was raised by his paternal grandfather, whose last name was Greenough. George Bellas Greenough thus became his name. It is unfortunate that the Attorney General is not in the Legislative Assembly because I would like to thank him for inspiring me by providing some history to this gathering. History is very important when considering politics in Western Australia. The first reference I can find to the seat of Greenough names George Shenton Junior. It is recorded in the parliamentary debates in 1870.

  • Historical Thematic Framework
    HISTORICAL THEMATIC FRAMEWORK Historical Thematic Framework INTRODUCTION Aboriginal Society at the time of the arrival of the European Settlers The Swan Valley and Swan Coastal Plain had been inhabited by Aboriginal people for between 40,000 and 80,000 years prior to European contact. These people were hunter gatherers who moved along definite routes determined by seasonal supplies of food and water. They lived in closely-knit family groups related by kinship. Over the previous centuries they had a finely established order and a sound social framework had evolved. They had a close relationship with the land and their identity was both embodied in, and derived from the places to which they were connected. The different groups understood the implications of tribal territories, boundaries and sacred places. The attitude of the early Aboriginal people to land and sites was in part a reflection of their religious beliefs, and also their responsibilities towards the land and their rights to it, which were inherited through kinship. Their rich culture and traditions were passed down to the younger generations through the power of legend, art, painting, dance, story and song. The arrival of the Europeans, with their different attitudes to land ownership and tenure, was to have a devastating effect upon the traditional way of life of the Aboriginal people. European Settlement in the South Perth District On visiting the City of South Perth in the twenty-first century, it is difficult to believe that the densely populated area we see today was once a struggling rural district, often overlooked in the search for more productive land.

  • City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework
    CITY OF SUBIACO THEMATIC HISTORY AND FRAMEWORK Prepared for the City of Subiaco KRISTY BIZZACA February 2014 THEMATIC HISTORY & FRAMEWORK OF SUBIACO ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, the City of Subiaco determined to undertake a Thematic History that would become the guiding document used to provide a Framework for understanding the evolution of the City’s cultural landscape in order to review the City’s Local Government Inventory. The consultant, Kristy Bizzaca, was commissioned in March 2012 to undertake this work. This Thematic History examines Subiaco's growth from pre-history, through to the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829 and up to the present day (2014) for the purposes of creating an overview of the main periods of development in the City. The history has been divided into eight periods with each chapter/section marking an important stage in the progress of Subiaco. In addition to providing a summary of local events and activities during these years, key factors, stories, themes and characteristics have been determined for each context. The first section identifies Aboriginal Histories of the area such as the water ways and gathering places of pre-history through to the dispossession, assimilation, institutionalisation and, more recently, reconciliation of the Post European History Period. The Colonial Period (1829 - 1870s) is the basis of the second section. It traces the early history of the place following the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829, encompassing the original land grants, the roads and railway routes that stimulated settlement and the establishment of the Benedictine Community at 'New Subiaco' in the 1850s.

    REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES - ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The criteria adopted by the Heritage Council in November 1996 have been used to determine the cultural heritage significance of the place. 11. 1 AESTHETIC VALUE* Monger's Trading Post (fmr) demonstrates traditional building techniques in the design and construction of the remnant Wagon Yards and Horse Stalls and the 'old Bakery'. The remaining sections of the stone Store demonstrate the architectural elegance of the Store as it evolved over the period from 1850 to 1895. (Criteria 1.1 & 1.2) When viewed from the north, the graphic quality of the extensive iron wall and roof cladding of the Wagon Yard and Horse Stalls directs the viewer's eye around the slight bend in Avon terrace and towards the centre of town. (Criterion 1.3) Monger's Trading Post (fmr) has landmark value as an intriguing collection of substantial nineteenth century buildings. (Criteria 1.3 & 1.4) 11. 2. HISTORIC VALUE Monger's Trading Post (fmr) is closely associated with the development of the Avon Valley area and, in particular, with the settlement of the York district. (Criterion 2.1) Monger's Trading Post (fmr) was the largest merchandising business located in York and, at the height of the sandalwood industry, was the largest trader in sandalwood in the York area. (Criterion 2.2) Monger's Trading Post (fmr) was established by the Monger family. John Henry Monger Senior was one of the first settlers of the York area and was also the district's first merchant and publican.

  • Cleansing the Dunghill: Water Supply and Sanitation in Perth 1878-1912
    CLEANSING THE DUNGHILL: WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION IN PERTH 1878-1912 SU-JANE HUNT AND GEOFFREY BOLTON After half a century of backwardness Western Australia in the 1880s embarked upon an unprecedentedly rapid period of growth. During this era of railway building and the gold rushes the population increased tenfold, to 300,000 in 1912. At the same time the level of prosperity and of expected living standards improved markedly. Demands for the provision of public services grew much faster than the availability of resources to meet them or of civil servants and politicians able to devise solutions to the host of problems which pressed upon them. Models of public administration or private involvement developed in Britain and eastern Australia did not always prove appropri­ ate to local conditions. Among the social demands generated during that period questions of public health and sanitation figured prominently and led eventually to a major degree of formal intervention by the Western Australian government. This was not the result of a pre­ conceived preference for state control. On the contrary, successive administrations tried to remit the initiative to municipal corporations, statutory boards, and where appropriate to private enterprise. In the absence as yet of a thorough exploration of the processes by which Western Australia's administrative machinery, fashioned be­ fore 1890 to meet the needs of a slow-growing and paternalistically governed Crown Colony, was overhauled to cope with the great upsurge of social demands generated by the long boom, it may be useful to trace the forces making for increased govern­ ment intervention in public health and sanitation.

    Cockman House Teacher’s Resource HISTORY HUNTER PROGRAM Background information Curriculum links Pre- and post-excursion activity suggestions Revised June 2018 31 The story of Cockman House involves three generations of one family and demonstrates the conditions of the residents for much of the 130 years of habitation. With the 13 children of the second generation and 6 children of the third having been raised in this house, there is plenty for today's children to compare their own lives with. As the first permanent settlers of the area in the 1850s, the Cockman family has left us with a significant example of simple colonial farmhouse as well as a place to focus on the changes to domestic technology (including no electricity, running water or sewage connection) and the importance of retaining such heritage places. 32 CONTENTS Introduction pg 3 Curriculum links pg 4 History Hunter vocabulary pg 6 Theme 1 – The Family 1.1 The Beginnings pg 7 1.2 Family History – Genealogy pg 11 Pre/post excursion activities pg 11 1.3 Family Heritage pg 13 Pre/post excursion activities pg 14 1.4 Family Structure pg 15 Pre/post excursion activities pg 16 1.5 The effect of World War I on the family pg 17 Pre/post excursion activities pg 20 Theme 2 – Work 2.1 Establishing at Wanneroo pg 21 2.2 Farm work and food production pg 22 2.3 Family work pg 24 2.4 Gender roles pg 26 2.5 Changes in work opportunities into 20th century pg 27 Pre/post excursion activities pg 27 Theme 3 – The House 3.1 The Building of Cockman House pg 28 3.2 Design, additions and adaptations
