Amazing People (JJ 2019-2020)
Amazing people (JJ 2019-2020) (some of this is copied from Wikipedia, some is left for you to find) I think it is a matter of honour that we should know who these people were, know their faces, and maybe look into their souls. The stories of strangers can look very boring – but see how much they did in their lives, some before they were even 16 or 20 years old, or before today’s technology and knowledge were available. (this list is incomplete, there are more than this in the document below)… Wilkins, Sir George Hubert (1888-1958) from S.A. .. more here .. Sir Doug Nichols – amazing aboriginal and once Bevan’s friend Sir Mark Oliphant – amazing scientist from South Australia Stan Grant – Australia’s first Aboriginal PM? Michael Nielsen --- Quantum Computer pioneer and thinker from QLD Authors... Neville Shute – English/Australian author (my favorite 1966-1980) Leon Uris – American/Jewish author (CJ and I 1967-1969) Ion Idriess – Australian author (from my primary school years) Capt W.E.

“Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969
“Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969 By Petrina Lee-Anne Osborne B.N., B.A. (Hons.), M.I.M. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania October 2014 ii Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree of diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Petrina Osborne Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Petrina Osborne iii Abstract This thesis undertakes a postcolonial reading of a selection of the fiction and non- fiction of Ion Idriess, Arthur Upfield, Ernestine Hill and John K. Ewers. It argues that their published and unpublished writing and correspondence contributed to a mid-twentieth-century literary discourse concerning identity, race and nation. The connection this study makes between these four middlebrow writers is their relationship with Walkabout, an Australian middlebrow geographic magazine. All four writers were noted contributors to the journal. In several ways their writerly endeavours—both fiction and non-fiction—paralleled Walkabout‘s attempts to influence its readers‘ views concerning identity and nation, particularly in respect to rendering the lesser known and populated regions of Australia familiar to its readership. -
Australians at War Film Archive Frank Cave
Australians at War Film Archive Frank Cave (Maurie) - Transcript of interview Date of interview: 20th January 2004 http://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/1404 Tape 1 00:34 Can you give us a bit of a life summary? All right. My father was a soldier settler at Buderim, down near the Glass House Mountains. I suppose we ought to go back further actually. He migrated from England in 1910. He arrived in Australia with 2 pounds and he gave a pound to his mates. That left him with a pound. 01:00 His father died when he was about 5 so he’d had a fairly tough upbringing. He was 24 when he came to Australia. He went out west and he worked out in the west here until the First War broke out when he was at Cunnamulla and he went to war from there. He served in the Light horse and served on Gallipoli and in the Sinai peninsula. He was discharged in 1919 and he took up a soldier’s settlement, 01:30 pineapple farm here in 1920. My eldest sister was born in 1921 and only lived 9 months. So I was effectively the eldest in the family. When I was about 2, he, in common with a lot of other people, decided it wasn’t a go and he just walked off it. He went up and started a farm in the Mary Valley, which was southwest of Gympie. That’s where I grew up until I was about 8. Then he bought another place, 02:00 500 acres of standing timber and carved that into a dairy farm during the Depression years. -
