I thank them for their patience and guidance through all stages of this research. Without their scholarly and compassionate input, direction and assistance, this project would not have been started, let alone completed. Thanks also go to my father Fred Preston for sparking a love of history and to Professors John Ramsland and Sid Bourke for modelling impeccable standards of scholarship and providing valuable guidance throughout my academic journey. There are also many colleagues who have been supportive during my journey. I have been grateful for the support of Professor John Fischetti, Associate Professor Robert Parkes and Associate Professor Kylie Shaw from the School of Education, who have been tolerant of my unusual ways of working, and Drs MacQueen and Ferguson- Patrick who have provided different perspectives on my studies. Similarly I am grateful to various professional staff at the University of Newcastle for their assistance throughout this study. First, administratively, for the access to documents. In this regard Professor Kevin McConkey, Mr Dennis Rowe, and Mr John Di Gravio have been helpful. Particular thanks are due to Mr Di Gravio and the whole University of Newcastle archives team for their friendly and helpful demeanour, and for permission to use various photographs from the University Archives. Secondly, logistically, I am grateful to Ms Hedy Fairbairn, the professional staff of the School of Education and the Office of Graduate Studies, and particularly the previous Dean of Graduate Studies, Associate Professor Andrew Abbo for their support and assistance during my candidature. I would also like to thank all the individuals who gave so willingly of their time to either be involved in formal interviews for the project or just to speak informally about issues and events. I would also like to thank those people who donated artefacts and documents to the project. While it is impossible to name all of these people, those who had a particularly strong influence on the project, either through supplying documents, discussion, motivation or general support, include: Alan Barcan, Ada Renwick, Ian Renwick, Janet Preston, Elizabeth Preston, Pamela Halstead, Margaret Sawkins, Pat March, Doug Absalom, Kevin McDonald, Arthur George, Brenda Holmes, Bob Conway, Darren Holmes, Don Matthews, Terry Lovat, David Corney, Alison Russell, John Schiller, Alan Chawner, Cyril Green, Peter Brandon, Keith Davey, Kath Grushka, Fred Bishop, Alison Russell, Murray Fitzgerald, Bert Wood, Roy Killen, Marie Cox and all the ‘Pioneers’ from the class of 1949-50 who first sparked my interest in this project. This work is dedicated to- Therese Dryden - for everything. iii :;7*17*< *('83!"$%3!=============================================================================================================!!(! <'$'3&3+'!.-!;#(%(+$8('6!!====================================================================================!((! 0)>+.2834%3&3+',!!============================================================================================!(((! :.+'3+',!!==============================================================================================================!(?! @(,'!.-!*$A83,!!======================================================================================================!?(((! @(,'!.-!B(%C#3,!!=====================================================================================================!?(((! 0A,'#$)'!!===============================================================================================================!(D! :9$E'3#!;+3=!F+'#.4C)'(.+!

  • Newcastle Fortresses
    NEWCASTLE FORTRESSES Thanks to Margaret (Marg) Gayler for this article. During World War 2, Newcastle and the surrounding coast between Nelson Bay and Swansea was fortified by Defence forces to protect the east coast of New South Wales against the enemy, in case of attack from the Japanese between 1940 and 1943. There were the established Forts along the coastline, including Fort Tomaree, Fort Wallace (Stockton), Fort Scratchley, Nobbys Head (Newcastle East) and Shepherd’s Hill (Bar Beach) and Fort Redhead. The likes of Fort Tomaree (Nelson Bay), Fort Redhead (Dudley) and combined defence force that operated from Mine Camp (Catherine Hill Bay) came online during the Second World War to also protect our coast and industries like BHP from any attempt to bomb the Industries as they along with other smaller industries in the area helped in the war effort by supplying steel, razor wire, pith hats to our armed forces fighting overseas and here in Australia. With Australia at war overseas the Government of the day during the war years decided it was an urgency to fortify our coast line with not only the Army but also with the help of Navy and Air- Force in several places along the coast. So there was established a line of communication up and down the coast using all three defence forces involved. Starting with Fort Tomaree and working the way down to Fort Redhead adding a brief description of Mine Camp and the role of the RAAF, also mentioning where the Anti Aircraft placements were around Newcastle at the time of WW2.

    Urban Shocks and Local Scandals: Blackrotk. and the Problem of Australian True-crime Fiction DONNA LEE BRIEN, QUEENSLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Rachel: This is history. Our history. (A Property of the Clan 20) n a 1999 praxis article in Australian Feminist Lawjo urnal(Brien) I proposed that a hybrid genre 'true-crime fiction' could be, when based on rigorous research, both popular and particularly suited to writing a more discursive, moreI subjective, less linear criminal history - a criminal history which also fo­ cuses on ethics, emotions and human value. Such true-crime fiction utilises all the available evidence {and should be coupled with painstaking research about the crime), but allows crucial gaps in the historical record to be filled with creative reconstructions - fictionalisations - of what might have occurred. Such an ap­ proach is not, however, without dangers, and writing a fictionalised account of the infamous Dean case of 1895-6 has alerted me to the complexities of fictionalising history. Aside from doubts about the validity of the personalities fictional tech­ niques create for historical figures, these concerns include questions regarding the ownership of the stories the author tells and other ethical issues which inevita­ bly arise in creating fictional literature which the author intends, or the audience perceives, to document reality. Three works by Sydney playwright Nick Enright, the plays A Property of the Clan (1992) and Blackrock (1995), and his screenplay adaptation of the latter also titled Blackrock (1997), point to some of the difficulties of working in this area. Most of the public controversy which these works have generated revolves around the question of whether Enright was representing actual events or, as he has repeat­ edly claimed, was writing fiction inspired by those events.
