To us, the event symbolises everything that’s great about our State – our love of the ocean and life outdoors, fitness, adventure, mateship, and of course Rottnest Island – for many of us it’s a place filled with fond memories of time spent with family and friends over the years. In past years, we’ve welcomed swimmers and paddlers from all over the world, making it a wonderful opportunity to showcase WA. Unfortunately this year, due to COVID-19, we’ll miss hosting our international visitors and treating them to everything our great State has to offer, but we hope to be able to welcome them back next year. As a global company headquartered in Perth with operations in Australia, Southern Africa and South America, we are proud to continue our partnership with the Rottnest Channel Swim and supporting them to make this incredible event this possible. It also makes me incredibly proud to see two South32 teams taking part this year and I look forward to cheering them on. Congratulations to everyone at the Rottnest Channel Swim Association and all the volunteers. It’s thanks to you that the swim happens each year, so that together we can help create healthier, stronger and happier communities. To everyone taking part, good luck and stay safe. An open water swim of nearly 20 kilometres is no mean feat and I wish you well for this impressive endeavour. We look forward to seeing you again in 2022.

The search for Descendants Three new Life Members Page 332 Page 336 Page 318 FEATURE: WESTERN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY The Fate of Caroline Broun The wife of Peter Nicholas Broun, first Colonial Secretary of the Swan River Colony Robert Atkins, Member 10908 and Don Blue, Member 425. Don and Robert presented the journal editors with a very unusual dilemma prior to the publication of the last issue. They both submitted virtually the same story quite independently. Third cousins, they had not met previously! As it turns out, Don had obtained a photocopy of Caroline Broun’s diary from Robert’s father in the early 1970s. The diary is now in Robert’s possession having inherited his father’s papers and documents. This diary contains Caroline Broun’s writings, copies of letters, records of family events and newspaper cuttings, which appears to have commenced after she returned to England in 1849. Caroline Broun (1804 – 1881) is Don’s 3 times great grandmother and Robert’s 2 times great grandmother. We start with her account of the sinking of the Hindoo. It tells something of her character. The Shipwreck On 9 September 1848 “Mrs. P. Broun” was aboard the Hindoo bound for London from Fremantle. Caroline Broun was the only woman on board and she wrote the following (probably to her 1 son James), reported in the Inquirer 18 July 1849 : “Jan.

  • Safety Tips for the Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim
    Safety Tips for the Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim There are inherent risks associated with swimming in an open water environment. The Across The Lake Swim Society has taken the following measures to reduce these risks: 1. The swim course is an open course and boat traffic cannot be prevented from entering the course. However, the swim course will be protected on the south (bridge) side by an RCMP patrol boat and large banners erected on the bridge. A flotilla of support kayakers, canoeists, and powerboats will protect the north side. 2. Powerboats designated as rescue boats, each containing lifeguards, will flank the 2 km course. These boats will be strategically positioned throughout the course. Each boat will be in radio communication with our Safety Director, who will be at the finish line, and our Head Lifeguard, who will be on the lake. 3. The course will be clearly marked with very large brightly colored buoys at the start and the finish, with an inflatable arch at the finish line to help with sighting. 4. Support kayakers and canoeists have all been provided instructions on how to summon help from the lifeguard boats. They provide an additional set of eyes and ears for the lifeguards. 5. All swimmers are encouraged to document their medical conditions and allergies on their race registration. The Safety Director has a master list of athletes and their medical conditions that was provided at the time of registration. 6. Swimmers are provided with brightly colored caps that are numbered. If there is an emergency, the lifeguard will identify the injured athlete by his/her cap and number, and be in radio contact with on- shore medical support.

  • Western Australia a History from Its Discovery to the Inauguration of the Commonwealth
    WESTERN AUSTRALIA A HISTORY FROM ITS DISCOVERY TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH BY J.S. BATTYE, LITT.D. PUBLIC LIBRARIAN OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1924. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, COPENHAGEN, NEW YORK, TORONTO, MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, MADRAS, SHANGHAI. HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY. PREFACE. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest. The work has been the result of over twenty years' research, undertaken, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Registrar-General (Mr. M.A.C. Fraser) and his Deputy (Mr. W. Siebenhaar) for the purpose of checking the historical introduction to the Year Book of Western Australia. It has since been continued in the hope that it may prove a contribution of more or less value to the history of colonial development. In the prosecution of the work, the files of the Public Record Office, London, were searched, and copies made of all documents that could be found which related to the establishment and early years of the colony. These copies are now in the possession of the Public Library of Western Australia, which contains also most of the published matter in the way of books and pamphlets dealing with the colony, as well as almost complete files of the local newspapers to date, and the original records of the Colonial Secretary's Office up to 1876.
