REPORT OF 1:1L8 TRUSTEE OF TilE AUSTRALIAN 1\IUSEUM, FOR TilE YEAR EXDIXG 31sT DEC.El\IBER, 187<.1:< • .... To Urs ExcEttFM'iC'l TirE GovER..'iOR-n--CnrEF,- Tho Trustees of the Australian :U:useum have the honor to submit to Your Excellency this their twenty-first .\noun! R eport. The Trustee>~ ha\'e to e:cpress their deep regret that circumstances have occurred during the pa~st )'car \\ hich disclosed an utter want of care and attention in the dit~chnrgo of his duties on the part of Mr. Krefl't, their Curator and 'ecretary, and which resulted, after rcpeatccl acts of disobedience to the lawful ord~r::~ of the Tru ~tecs, in the remo,·al of that officer from hi;; po~ition, nnd in the dosing of the Institution to the public for a short period. It will be ncces~<ar_v, in order to explain nnd vindicnte the course which the 'l'ru::~tccs felL lhcmsehes eompellecl to adopt, and for the infol'matton of your Excellency, to furnish the history of I hc:-e t rrm~actious iu Lhci r proper order. •U the beginning of Lhe year some of the Trustees became awarc that specimens of gold to the ,·nlue of £i0 had been stolen from the cabinets of the )luscuw in "hich theX had been deposited for e.\hibition. A ~pecial meeting was called, on requisition signed by three of the l'nt~!ecs, and was held on the Glh of January, for the purpose of investigating the matter, and the Curator then reported the theft to the Board. \Yhile the Boarcl was engaged in the proijccution of thi11 inquiry, a communication was rccci,•od from the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, com-eying his doubts of the propriety of the proposed invcstigatiou ns a ]>Ossible frustration of the efi'cH·ts of the ['olico to bring the oll'ondors to justice. On this intimation being made to the Board, it was decided to eavc tho mnLler in Lhu hands of' the police; aml up to tho pt·esont time no one has been prosecuted for the otloucc, not· has the gold been discovered, or its loss in any way accounted for. At the usual monthly meeting, held on lhe Gth of Uarcb, the 'l'rustces wore informed by one of theit· uumbct· that indecent pholog•·aphs had been ~ccn iu the workshop of lhe Museum. 1'he photographs, some of which were of the most indecent character, were produced, and an immediate inquiry into the matter was ins lit utcd. One of the taxidermists (llcury 13arncll) stated that he had, by Mr. Krcft't's order~, tnken from fifty to sixty copies of these indecent pictures. 'l'hc Curator deniecl the statement, and asscrtccl that he was the victim of n conspiracy on tho part of the sen'nnts of the Institution. On tho Jt h of J unc the :ntcution of the Board was cnllccl to the circumstance that numerous st~tcmeut>~ rellcclinu- upuu the character and t•onduct of Mr. Krcfi't were conh\ined in Lhe e1-ideoce given before the Select C:ommiLtee of the Legislatire Assembly, "hich had been appointed on the 2Hh dsy of February, l">i J., for the purpose of inquiring into nod reporting 11pou the condition :md system of manage­ ment of the Museum. It nppea•·cd by this t•cport that certain charges had been preferred ngainst some of the ~uste~s_by the Curator. Among oUtet· accusations it was alll"ged that some of tho Tru,tccs had used thetr posttlon for the bcm•fit of themsehell, and to thl" injury of the In ~titution. After a long and pntient Parliamentary in1e,;tigntion, during which a n~mbcr of the 1'rustees and nil the officers and sen·ants of the :Museum we~e examined, and the :;clcc.:L Committee inspcclccl the Tnstitution, it wn~ found lhaL there wns no truth m lh~sc or in any other of the t·harge~ which had been made n~niust tho Trustees by t~to Curator: ~he emlcnce aclclu.:Nl before the , elect Committee tended to t~how Ut.nl work had been done m the l nstltution Jor two of the 'l'ru,tees ()fr.

Despite this and some closed on 5 July, ending the YHA’s 45-year other downsides, backpackers have been an involvement in Glebe. The first Sydney YHA was integral part of the Glebe community, supporting established in Forest Lodge in 1976 followed by local businesses, including small supermarkets and Glebe Point YHA in 1987, then Hereford Lodge YHA ‘cheap and cheerful’ restaurants. in 1988. The Glebe Point YHA was sold on 5 June. Adam As nearby residents will no doubt attest, the Glebe Droubi from CBRE Sydney told the Society that the Point YHA was busy (at least until COVID-19 hit). So building sold for $7m. The undisclosed buyer is ‘in why did it close? Silke Kerwick, Public Affairs the business of running hostels’ and plans to re- Manager for YHA Australia, told the Glebe Society: open it for that purpose. It is a strategic imperative for YHA to regularly review what the backpacker market wants in terms of accommodation, and to keep pace with their ever-changing expectations. Properties such as Sydney Harbour YHA in The Rocks (with all ensuite rooms) have raised the bar in catering to today’s youth travellers, and Glebe Point YHA, being an older property, was unable to offer this level of amenity. YHA has long-term strategic plans to increase budget accommodation of high quality in the Sydney CBD, including additional capacity at Railway Square YHA, to be developed over the next few years.
