  • Sydney Government House
    TOP EDUCATION STUDENT FIELD TRIP INSTITUTE SEMESTER 1/2019 SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE Government House is the Official Residence and Office of His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) 38th Governor of New South Wales and Mrs Linda Hurley. His Excellency is the 27th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 October 2014. In 1788, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Governor Arthur Phillip, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House. This building was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney). After nearly 50 years of serving as the colony’s political, ceremonial and social centre, the building had become worn and dilapidated and many submissions were made to the British government for permission and funding to construct a new building. In 1836 construction finally began on a new Government House. The new building was influenced in its location and architectural style by the existing Governor’s Stables, completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction. The building was designed by Edward Blore, architect to William IV and Queen Victoria. Blore had recently built the British Houses of Parliament in an Elizabethan Gothic style, expressing the continuity of government by constitutional monarchy. Blore had also worked on Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The new Government House was built in the Gothic Revival style characterized by castellated towers and other medieval features.

  • Conservation Issues the Obelisk Macquarie Place
    CONSERVATION ISSUES THE OBELISK MACQUARIE PLACE SYDNEY 1840s 1890s 1930s For City of Sydney August 2003 CASEY & LOWE Pty Ltd Archaeology & Heritage ________________________________________________________________________________ 420 Marrickville Road, Marrickville NSW 2204 • Tel: (02) 9568 5375 Fax: (02) 9572 8409 • Mobile: 0419 683 152 • E-mail: [email protected] i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Results . The Obelisk, Macquarie Place has a State level of heritage significance. The obelisk’s individual level of significance and its significance to the place warrants its conservation in situ. The obelisk is in a state of decay that involves the continuing loss of inscriptions and fabric. Drummy surfaces have exfoliated since last recorded in 1997. Research has shown that there has been replacement of the two base courses, recutting of the inscription, a stone indent replacing one section of an inscription and large drill holes. While many reports have been written in the last 30 years very little substantive conservation works have been undertaken on the monument. The long-term conservation of this monument of exceptional significance requires the Council of the City of Sydney to act speedily to implement a program of conservation. Council has a Conservation Plan endorsed by the NSW Heritage Council. The endorsed option is to conserve the obelisk in situ. Recommendations Recommended Option 1. This report recommends that the Obelisk, Macquarie Place should be conserved in situ and maintained (Option 3). 2. The obelisk’s condition will need to be monitored and managed through a maintenance program. 3. The City of Sydney should adopt and endorse the recommended option of this report to conserve the obelisk in situ and maintain it into the future.

  • The Bunyip As Uncanny Rupture: Fabulous Animals, Innocuous Quadrupeds and the Australian Anthropocene
    The Bunyip as Uncanny Rupture: Fabulous Animals, Innocuous Quadrupeds and the Australian Anthropocene Penny Edmonds ‘But it is also said to be something more than animal, and among its supernatural attributes is the cold, awesome, uncanny feeling which creeps over a company at night when the Bunyip becomes the subject of conversation’ Rosa Praed, ‘The Bunyip’, 1891. Y LOVE AFFAIR WITH MUSEUMS BEGAN WHEN I WAS SEVEN. I SAW A BUNYIP’S HEAD in a glass case, a strange, unsettling creature with a one-eyed blind M stare, a cycloptic monster. I was small and I stood up on my toes to see the creature through the glass. On show, the bunyip was mounted in a tall, ornate nineteenth-century wooden cabinet. The typed paper label gave scientific verification: ‘A bunyip’s head, New South Wales. 1841.’ I recall the palpable shock of it, and my mixed childhood emotions: bunyips were real. With its long jawbone wrapped in fawn-coloured fur, it was a decapitated Australian swamp- dweller preserved. Yet, the horrific creature looked so sad, and with its sightless eye, gaping mouth and cartoonish backward drooping ears. It was a creature of pathos—a gormless, goofy redhead, a ranga, a total outsider.1 1 A ‘ranga’ is Australian slang for a red headed person, once pejorative, but now also used in the positive. The term was entered into the Australian Oxford Dictionary in 2012. Thanks to Lynette Russell for re-acquainting me with this object, known as the Macleay Museum ‘bunyip’ (The Macleay Museum, Sydney University, Registration number MAMU NHM.45).
