    AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE A History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016 CONTENTS 1. Introduction . 1 2. The Romanesque Style . 4 3. Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • Chapter Seven
    183 CHAPTER SEVEN SHAPING NEW WORLDS WITH OLD IMAGES When John Richardson bought John Moores store and flour mill and moved to Armidale in 1872, he brought with him his wife, twenty years younger than he, and a young family consisting of seven surviving children. His eldest son, Robert, was 22 years of age. Although other sons would choose to join their father in his retailing business, Robert turned to writing childrens books, most of which were published in London and Edinburgh where he lived through the 1880s and early 1890s. His career was blighted by a lack of talent. Nonetheless an independent income kept that harsh reality at bay. But he was not so lacking in ability that he failed to see his own limitations. By the time he wrote Ad Musam, a poem which served as his obituary in the Bulletin, he was resigned to his critics opinions and addressed the Greek muse of poetry somewhat bitterly: Yet others get the gift and win thy love; They get the gift while I but stand and wait; They enter calmly through the enchanted gate That leads unto the mystic Dellian hill . And I but linger in the valleys chill, With timid groping feet, and as I pass Gather some withering leaves of wayside grass, And hear through the hushed twilight faintly falling The voices of my happier brothers calling, And watch afar with aching, dazzled eyes, Clear peaks that climb into the lucent skies By shining paths my feet will neer surprise. Robert Richardson died of gastric catarrh in Armidale in 1901 aged fifty.

  • A SHORT HISTORY of the ARMIDALE SCHOOL
    A SHORT HISTORY of THE ARMIDALE SCHOOL D L (Jim) Graham January, 2008 FOREWORD The genesis of this book was a chance remark by the Headmaster, Murray Guest, about the need for a simple and concise history of the School for new boys and other interested people. When I approached Jim Graham, the author of A School of Their Own (the first and only comprehensive history of TAS), he enthusiastically agreed with the idea. This book is the result; I was privileged to assist Jim with the text and editing. Acknowledgement is given to Andrew Constable, a duty master at TAS in the 1980s, and the members of the then History Committee who produced The Armidale School - An Introduction in 1987. Some material from that publication has been used in the preparation of this book. We also thank Ian Johnstone for his valuable assistance. This is a pilot edition and any suggestions or corrections would be welcome. It is hoped to add illustrations at a later date. David Connah January, 2008 FURTHER INFORMATION For further information on the history of the School, the following sources are invaluable: A School of their Own: The History of The Armidale School, by Jim Graham, published in 1994 and The Armidale School Register 1894-1993, compiled by Belinda Anstock, also published in 1994. Past copies of The Armidalian and Binghi are very useful. Many editions of The Armidalian are reproduced on the School's comprehensive website (www.as.edu.au) which is also well worth searching for other information about TAS. AUTHOR'S NOTE I wish to express my thanks to David Connah and his wife Barbie for their invaluable contribution in the preparation of this Short History.

  • National Parks and Sand Mining
    Paul Stephen Sattler OAM M.Nat.Res.; B.App.Sc.(Rur.Tech.) Paul has a lifetime of professional experience in nature conservation. He was the principal architect in doubling Queensland’s National Park estate in the 1990s whilst working with the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service (QNPWS). Paul initiated and guided the comprehensive description of Queensland’s bioregional ecosystems and the assessment of their status, a vital planning tool for conservation and natural resource management. He was directly involved in the development of a range of State and national conservation policies and has a particular interest in rangeland conservation and sustainable management. After leaving the QNPWS, Paul formed his own specialised eco-consultancy business and was principal author of the National Land and Water Resources Audit’s terrestrial biodiversity assessment of Australia, the first detailed assessment of biodiversity at a range of scales nationally. He grew up in a beekeeping family and learnt a practical appreciation of nature and is now once again, an apiarist. Having completed a degree in Applied Science (Rural Technology) in 1971 at the University of Queensland, Gatton College, he went on to gain a Masters degree in Natural Resources at the University of New England, Armidale. Paul has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to biodiversity conservation. Dedication To my daughters, Seola Anne and Melita Louise.

  • VI Chapter 1
    & VI Chapter 1. The Preparatory Years (1827-1864). James Barnet was a professional architect who became a long serving member of the New South Wales civil service and for that reason a study of his official career should begin with an examination of his professional training. His career from his arrival in New South Wales in 1854 until 1860 and his work as Acting Colonial Architect from 31 October 1862 until 31 December 1864 is also reviewed in this chapter. On 21 August 1860 a notice appeared in the New South Wales Government Gazette which announced the appointment of James Barnet to a position of clerk of works in the Office of the Colonial Architect. Who was this young man who had arrived in Sydney in December 1854 and who, since that date, seemed to have experienced some difficulty in settling into regular employment? The position of clerk of works carried an annual salary of MOO and offered security and prospects for advancement. A curious person might 1. Throughout this study the name James Barnet will be used. The entry in ADB 3 records his name as Barnet, James Johnstone, the name shown on both his and his wifes death certificates. In the numerous files examined Barnet almost invariably signed his name as James Barnet. There were many occasions when his name was incorrectly spelled as Barnett in official papers as well as the press. 2 wonder whether Barnet was qualified to fill such a position or whether he had been appointed solely as the result of the patronage 2 of influential friends.
