Page 2 The Royal Australian Navy Band South Australia. Royal Australian Navy Band South Australia, under the direction of Bandmaster Chief Petty Officer Grant Metcalfe, consists of 27 Naval Reserve Musicians, and is based at Keswick Barracks in Adelaide. The Reserve Musicians represent a variety of occupations including full time students, secondary school teachers, arts administrators, a bus driver, a landscape architect, a corrections officer, a retail manager, and a chef, as well as including several full time professional musicians. The band provides a highly visible Navy presence in a state with otherwise low naval representation, and supports a wide variety of commitments and organisations requiring many varied styles of music. RAN Band South Australia is versatile, being able to provide a traditional parade band for ceremonial occasions, a 20 piece stage band, a 12 piece rock group, and smaller ensembles including a jazz group, saxophone ensemble, clarinet group and brass ensemble. Recently, RAN Band South Australian has participated in Adelaide’s Anzac Day, Coral Sea and Korean War 60th Anniversary ceremonies; performed a chamber music concert for Sea Sunday at a heritage church in Wallaroo, supported Rotary fundraising, the Jetty to Surf swim classic and the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercars race. The band also participates in community engagement programs at the Adelaide Royal Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and provides a bugler for most of the ceremonial occasions in Adelaide. http://www.navy.gov.au/about/organisation/navy-band/south-australia Navy's longest serving ship completes final voyage 16 June 2019 The Royal Australian Navy’s longest serving ship, HMAS Success (II) today completed her final voyage after 33 years’ service to Australia. Success, an 18,000 tonne Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment ship, almost 160 meters in length and known as ‘The Battle Tanker’, was the last vessel built for the Royal Australian Navy at Sydney’s Cockatoo Island dockyard. Commander Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral Jonathan Mead AM, RAN said Success had been essential to Navy operations by replenishing Australian and coalition ships with fuel, food and other critical supplies over 3,500 times. “HMAS Success has been an indispensable part of Navy operations since she was launched in 1984, and she has worked tirelessly to support our maritime operations,” Rear Admiral Mead said. Commissioned in 1986, Success has steamed over one million nautical miles, participated in a world record 11 Rim of the Pacific exercises, earned battle honours for service during the 1991 Gulf War and East Timor in 1999, and helped search for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. “HMAS Success has quietly operated behind the scenes to help our frontline assets achieve mission success. Simply put, Success kept other ships at sea longer, thereby increasing maritime security for Australia and our allies,” Rear Admiral Mead said. The 23rd and final Commanding Officer of HMAS Success, Captain Darren Grogan said he was not surprised by the level of admiration the ship still attracts from current and former officers and sailors. “For other ships, Success has always been a welcome symbol of help and support; not just for the supplies she carries, but equally importantly for the mail and other packages she delivers from loved ones back home” Captain Grogan said. A number of past Commanding Officers and family members of the Ship’s Company were present on-board as Success spent a last night at sea sailing from Jervis Bay to her home port at Garden Island in Sydney. “Success will be missed. She has been such an integral part of Navy over the past 33 years that most of our people today will not know the fleet without her,” Captain Grogan said. HMAS Success will be decommissioned at a formal ceremony at Fleet Base East in Sydney on Saturday 29 June 2019. Plans for Success after this event are under consideration by the Australian Government. https://news.defence.gov.au/media/media-releases/navys-longest-serving-ship-completes-final-voyage Page 3 Page 4 ONE ALL Youth Adventure Voyage 13 -17 April 2019 Dear Sponsor, Thank you for your support to provide an opportunity for me to sail on the Youth Adventure Voyage.

    ROTARY YOUTH SAILING ONE & ALL PROGRAM STUDENT INFORMATION forthe 5-Day 2018 Rotary Youth Development Voyage Commencing Sun 30th Sept returning Thurs 4th Oct The One and All will depart from Port Adelaide on Sunday morning on a 5 day training voyage .The vessel will sail down Gulf St Vincent into Investigator Strait and along some of the northern coast of Kangaroo Island. Weather permitting the vessel’s zodiacs will take the students ashore for a beach visit before the return trip to Port Adelaide. The vessel will probably take a somewhat different route returning to Port Adelaide on Thursday afternoon. (Exact departure and return times and locations will be given closer to the time of the voyage as they are dependent on the Port River Expressway Bridge opening schedule) All Rotary students will be allocated a Rotary club and a Rotarian to be their mentor. The Club mentor will meet and get to know their student and be at the wharf to see them depart on the Sunday morning and greet them on their return Thursday afternoon. Some students beside their Rotary Club attachment will also be connected to a corporate Rotary sponsor, a business which sees the value to the community and the individual student participating in a One & All training voyage and is assisting Rotary with the program. On returning the student will be expected to make a 20 minute presentation to their Rotary Club at one of the club's meetings about their experiences and what they gained from the voyage. If applicable this student may also be asked to give a similar presentation to their corporate sponsor.

  • Issue 16 February 2018
    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.16 February 2018 From the President Welcome to our first edition of Call the Hands for 2018. Since December, the wreck of HMAS AE1 has been discovered, STS Young Endeavour celebrated 30 years of service and Society members have been involved in several interesting activities. In the week prior to Christmas the discovery of HMAS AE1, excited the nation and ended the Navy’s longest mystery. AE1 was lost off the island of Rabaul on 14 September 1914 with all 35 crew members. The wreck site will remain ‘close held’ by Find AE1 Expedition member organisations until appropriate measures are taken to protect the site. Expedition leader, retired Rear Admiral Peter Briggs who has worked much of his life to find HMAS AE1 and his colleagues are saluted for this historic achievement. On 16 January the Commanding Officer HMAS Hobart, Captain John Stavridis and Supply Officer, Lieutenant Commander Mark Lee visited the Boatshed to acquaint themselves with an important HMAS Hobart heritage item, the Captain’s table from HMAS Hobart (I). The Society has held the table in trust since Hobart (II) decommissioned in May 2000. Descendants of HMAS Patricia Cam crew members and the community marked the 76th anniversary of her loss with a series of events in Darwin, Gosford, Sydney and Canberra from 20 to 22 January. Patricia Cam sank on 22 January 1943 after being bombed by a Japanese float plane. Society members participated in the Gosford (plaque unveiling where she was built) and Canberra last post ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.

  • History of Trade in South Australia
    History of Trade in South Australia Trade has been happening in South Australia for thousands of years. There have been many changes to the way we trade and exchange goods, and the types of goods that are traded. Advances in technology and the needs of people have driven these changes. The Aboriginal people traded goods amongst themselves and indigenous groups long before European people arrived, and it was vital to their existence. Food was not traded over large distances, but other highly valued and scarce resources were traded. Stones, ochres, tools, ceremonial items and other resources that were not normally available within one area could be obtained through trade from another area. Trade was also seen as a form of social control and law, as it required people from different areas and different groups to respect each other’s rights, boundaries and cultural differences. It helped strengthen relationships between neighbouring Aboriginal groups by providing an opportunity to settle disputes, meet to discuss laws and for sharing gifts of respect. In 1836, nine ships arrived in South Australia bringing 546 European people to this state. The European people lived very different lifestyles to the Aboriginal people, their needs and wants were very different, and changed the ways and types of products that were brought into our state. In the early days of European settlement, ships would come in to the harbour and unload cargo the best that they could. At this time, all goods were imported, with no exports. The harbour was rough and very disorganised and anyone could load / unload cargo along the beaches.

  • A'court, BILL (West Adelaide)
    A A’COURT, BILL (West Adelaide): Acourt was placed on Oliver and to keep this man from taking his sensational marks gives a man plenty to do. Acourt did not let him do too much, and played a good game beside.1 Father of star West Adelaide ruckman of the 1950s Fred A’Court (profiled below), Bill A’Court was a strong defender who also played with West. He debuted with the club in 1909, and was a key member that same year of its winning grand final team against Port Adelaide. He went on to play in the premiership sides of 1911 and 1912 as well. From 1909 to 1915 A’Court played 83 SAFL games and kicked four goals. A’COURT, FRED (West Adelaide): Fred A’Court was a stalwart of West Adelaide sides during the club’s nightmare decade of the 1950s, when four grand finals were contested without success, all against Port Adelaide. He commenced with West in 1949, and over the ensuing 11 seasons played a total of 159 league games and kicked 110 goals. In January 1954, A’Court applied for a clearance to VFL club Richmond, claiming that, if he made the move, he would be £15 a week better off financially, but West Adelaide refused the application and he continued to play for the Blood and Tars for the remainder of his career. A tough, tireless and talented ruckman, A’Court - popularly known as ‘Boof’ - represented South Australia eight times, kicking 10 goals. AAMODT, COLIN (North Adelaide): In a brainy display of football Aamodt showed all the fleetness of foot that enabled him to run a place in a Stawell Gift.
