Professor Glenda Strachan has carried out detailed research on Dungog highlighting the role of women and children in poorer farming families. Because of the nature of the research it also gives insights into life for poorer rural men.

  • 100 Year Anniversary of CCA 3.12.12
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES BANCO COURT BATHURST CJ AND THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT Monday 3 December 2012 FORMAL CEREMONY IN HONOUR OF THE RE-OPENING OF BANCO COURT AND 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL 1 BATHURST CJ: Your Excellency, the Attorney General, Chief Justices, your Honours, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome. I would like to start today by acknowledging the Cadigal people of the Eora nation and paying my respect to their elders, past and present. As noted by the first Chief Justice of this Court, Sir Francis Forbes, the Aboriginal people have been custodians of the land on which we meet today for thousands of years. 2 It is fitting that as we gather to celebrate significant milestones of this Court's history, we recognise this continuing tradition. 3 I would, therefore, like to invite Michael West, who is the cultural representative of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council and a delegate to the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples, to deliver a welcome to country. 4 Thank you, Michael. 5 MR WEST: Good morning, my brothers and sisters. - 1 - 6 This beautiful land you meet on, obviously, is a land of the Cadigal people of the Eora Nation, one of the twenty-nine clans of the Eora Nation. 7 It is important - the onus is on all Australians - to learn, understand and appreciate the oldest living, continuing culture in the world today. There are great things to learn about community, about understanding the cycles of mother nature, understanding that we are all connected in the scheme of things in the cosmos - from me to you, to the person sitting beside you, to the beautiful whales that come into the Harbour here, part of the totems of the coastal clans and considered elders of the sea, to the fish, the kangaroos, the dugongs, the emus, to me and you, to the drops of rain that are falling on our heads and the particles of dust in the wind.

  • The Law at War 1914 – 1915
    The Law at War 1914 – 1915 Engaged to Act on Another Front A Working Paper describing the actions of Members of the New South Wales Legal Profession on Gallipoli Tony Cunneen BA MA Dip Ed [email protected] Acknowledgements As with any writing project there are a multitude of people who have assisted with the research. My thanks go to Sir Laurence Street, Peter Marinovic of the Red Cross archives, , The Forbes Society for Legal History, the staff at Willoughby Library who cheerfully tracked down the most obscure books and theses with great patience Introduction Legal history is not simply the accumulation of cases, decisions and statutes. Around this framework swirl the private lives of the solicitors, barristers, judges, clerks and associated professionals who worked in the law. A profession gains part of its character from the private lives and experiences of its early members. Through its professional ancestors the New South Wales legal fraternity is connected to a range of institutions – everything from sporting groups, schools, universities and churches. One significant group has been the military. In World War One all of these eleemnet came togher. Men who had been at the same school, worshipped at teh samechruch, 2 shared the space at the law courts, walked the corridors of chambers, had garden parties overlooking the harbour and caught the same trams and ferries home found themselves next to one another in strange exotic fields when the bullets flew and ordinary soldiers looked to the privileged officers for leadership. While the battles raged, in Australia the mothers, wives an sisters of the soldiers gave countless hours to preparing packages for their menfolk, or organising fundraising, or tracking done details of their fates.
