It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.

  • THIRTY YEARS with FLYING ARTS – 1971 to 2001 Chapter 1
    1 FROM RIVER BANKS TO SHEARING SHEDS: THIRTY YEARS WITH FLYING ARTS – 1971 to 2001 Chapter 1: Introduction This thesis traces the history of a unique Queensland art school, which began as ‘Eastaus’ (for Eastern Australia) in 1971 when Mervyn Moriarty, its founder, learned to fly a small plane in order to take his creative art school to the bush. In 1974 the name was changed to ‘The Australian Flying Arts School’; in 1994 it became ‘Flying Arts Inc.’ To avoid confusion the popular name ‘Flying Arts’ is used throughout the study. The thesis will show that when creative art (experimental art where the artist relies on his subjective sensibility), came to Brisbane in the 1950s, its dissemination by Moriarty throughout Queensland in the 1970s was a catalyst which brought social regeneration for hundreds of women living on rural properties and in large and small regional towns throughout Queensland. The study will show that through its activities the school enhanced the lives of over six thousand people living in regional Queensland and north-western New South Wales.1 Although some men were students, women predominated at Flying Arts workshops. Because little is known about country women in rural social organizations this study will focus on women, and their growing participation within the organization, to understand why they flocked to Moriarty’s workshops, and why creative art became an important part of so many lives. The popularity of the workshops, and the social interaction they supplied for so many, is a case study for Ross’s argument

  • The Whyalla – a Historical Journey
    The Whyalla – A Historical Journey When the original HMAS WHYALLA was launched at the Whyalla Shipyard in 1941, the proud shipbuilders of the day would have thought it inconceivable that more than 50 years later their first ship would still be serving, albeit a very different role. And it would have been just as incredulous to have suggested that the final resting place would be 2 kilometres inland and 2 metres off the ground. But, in Whyalla, the unbelievable happened. The HMAS WHYALLA (1941 – 1946), later to become The Rip (1947 – 1984), and now known affectionately as The WHYALLA, was removed from the sea in February 1987 up the same slipway, now disused, that gave it birth, and transported through the BHP plant and across a saltbush landscape to be set down on foundations adjacent to the city’s northern highway entrance. The WHYALLA is the focal point of a nationally unique attraction which includes the restored ship and museum building (Whyalla Maritime Museum) and the Whyalla Visitor Centre. The museum opened on October 29, 1988, with the Tourist Centre opening some 10 months earlier on December 23, 1987. Total cost of establishing the complex was $1.3m. Although the purchase price of the ship was just $5,000 it cost in excess of $560,000 to remove it from the sea and set it down on its specially designed foundations. Meanwhile, back to Saturday, February 14, 1987 – the day The WHYALLA was due to start its journey from the BHP Harbour. Several hundred onlookers were ready, television crews had flown from Adelaide, and the many official photographers and other media were in place to see the ship edged back up the slipway.
