The Hungry Mile The Hungry Mile From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: [LI\ iLat1ofl. search The Hungry Mile is the name harbourside workers gave to the docklands area of i2tiIin ZZ 1 Ltrholtr East. in Jug, New South Wales, Australia in the Great Depression. Workers would walk from wharf to wharf in search of ajob, often failing to find one.1 The area was officially known as Millcr Point and as part of urban renewal plans, the rovernment of New South Wales reviewed the name in 2006. Ll The Maritime U nion o \ustralia campaigned to renew the "Hungry Mile' name, as an acknowledgement of the site's historical significance to waterside workers. A public competition was held but the name Raranearoo was selected for the new suburb and officially gazetted in 2007. The name honours Barangaroo, an important indigenous woman from Sydney's early history who was a powerful and colourful figure in the colonisation of Australia. She was also the wife of l3ennelon, another important indigenous figure after whom Bennelong Point is named, the site of the S Jncv Opera 1-louse. A section of Barangaroo, Hickson Road between the Munn Street overhridge and the Napoleon Street intersection, was officially designated the Hungry Mile in 2009 1 Baranearoo in the foregound, before shipping buildings were demolished [edit] Redevelopment As stevedoring operations moved to ports at Ppiilptitijy and Port kcnihla. the (rovernment_of New South Wales determined that this site should be renewed as an extension of the Sydney CBD with a significant new foreshore park providing recreational areas for a growing Sydney population. -- This area is being redeveloped into a recreational. business and shopping precinct. There is also ongoing debate regarding the design and size of waterfront developments. The City of Sydney Council and some architectural bodies have expressed concern that the proposed designs will be out of scale with the surrounding environment, as well as causing large unwanted shadows over the immediate area, parts of Darlingarhour and possibly nearby P\ rniont. L61. Concerns were also expressed by the Danish urban planner Prolssor IiiI. who warned that large undivided parks would become 'fearsome at night" L lediti Pop culture In 1930 'The Hungry Mile' was the title of wharfie poet Ernest Antony's most famous poem. in a published collection titled 'The Hungry Mile and other poems'. Memories of the Hungry Mile and Antony's poem became the inspiration for the Waterside Workers' Federation Film Unit 1950s film of the same name) The Hungry Mile A poem by Ernest Antony©Ernest Antony 1930 3 or They tramp there in their legions on the mornings dark and cold To beg the right to slave for bread from Sydney's lords of gold; They toil and sweat in slavery, 'twould make the devil smile, To see the Sydney wharfies tramping down the hungry mile. On ships from all the seas they toil, that others of their kind, May never know the pinch of want nor feel the misery blind; That makes the live, of men a hell in those conditions vile; That are the hopeless lot of those who tramp the hungry mile. The slaves of men who know no thought of anything but gain, Who wring their brutal profits from the blood and sweat and pain Of all the disinherited that slave and starve the while, Upon the ships beside the wharves along the hungry mile. But every stroke of that grim lash that sears the souls of men With interest due from years gone by, shall be paid back again To those who drive these wretched slaves to build the golden pile. And blood shall blot the memory out of Sydney's hungry mile. The day will come, aye, come it must, when these same slaves shall rise, And through the revolution's smoke, ascending to the skies, The master's, face shall show the fear he hides, behind his smile. Of these his slaves, who on that day shall storm the hungry mile. And when the world grows wiser and all men at last are free When none shall feel the hunger nor tramp in misery To beg the right to slave for bread, the children then may smile. At those strange tales they tell of what was once the hungry mile. Blotting out the memory of Sydney's Hungry Mile September 16, 2006 Page 1 of 2 1 Sin They toiled there day and night. Now former wharfies feel the memory of their hardship will be betrayed, writes Justin Norrie. ON A good day, Arthur Brown was "lucky enough" to heave bags of sugar and flour weighing 75 kilograms - 10 kilograms heavier than himself- onto his back and haul them for 24 hours straight. On a had day he might go hungry. As he worked, he didn't have the time or luxury to worry about his premature arthritis, stabbing back pain, ulcers and high blood pressure; nor the fact soda ash, sulfur and salt penetrated the deep lacerations on his "broken and bashed fingers": nor the persistent. nagging urge to sleep. This was work. And on the Hungry Mile in the late 1930s and early '40s, when Mr Brown was one of thousands of desperate wharfies scrambling for a job, it was as good as it got. "To be honest, sometimes it felt like you were going over bloody Mount Everest," Mr Brown, 91, says of his early days on the wharves west of Sydney's CBD. "But we considered ourselves lucky enough to get more than two shifts like that a week. The rest had to go home hungry, there were no jobs for them. The bosses picked the bulls - the strong blokes who were known - the rest had to hope like hell. "We'd get into the ship holds and lift out these bloody enormous loads of wool, pig iron, soda ash, asbestos - that's another one. They've dropped like flies, the old wharfies - dozens of them. They all got asbestosis. That was their reward." From the latter half of the 19th century, much of Sydney's wharf labour was carried out along the waterfront at Sussex Street, from Hickson Road down as far as Bathurst Street. At the time of the Depression, and possibly earlier, it was known as the Hungry Mile. Alan Oliver. a 76-year-old who worked on the wharves in the 1950s, says "You could get in a cab anywhere around Sydney and say. 'Take me to the Hungry Mile' and they'd know exactly where to go." Like so much of Sydney's gritty history, however, the memory of hard toil along the wharves will soon be cauterised by developers hired to build multimillion-dollar apartments, offices and parkland.

    Contested Territorialities in Millers and Dawes Points, Sydney, Australia Helen Karathomas A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science University of New South Wales September 2015 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES - Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: Karathomas First name: Helen Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Contested Territorialities in Millers and Dawes Points, Sydney, Australia. Abstract (350 words maximum): Millers and Dawes Points are two harbour side, inner city suburbs of Sydney that have been subject to contests over space. Because of Millers and Dawes Points’ histories, the area contains some of Sydney’s oldest residential housing. More recently, certain areas within Millers and Dawes Points have experienced residential and commercial gentrification. This thesis extends existing gentrification studies through a middle range framework, which includes the concepts of ‘territoriality’, ‘sense of place’ and ‘placelessness’. This theoretical framework increases our understandings of the changes occurring in local areas. Nestled within the suburbs of Millers and Dawes Points are pockets of social housing occupied by residents who are dubbed the ‘traditional community’. The traditional community live cheek by jowl with some of the area’s wealthier residents who reside in the suburbs’ ‘privatopias’ (McKenzie 1994, 9). These wealthier residents are gentrifiers who I have labelled as the ‘new community’ in this thesis. This thesis identifies how these communities have developed distinct senses of and attachments to place that have been constructed and manifested within Millers and Dawes Points’ complex and contested terrain.

  • Examining the Development of Public Space in Foreshore Sydney: Barangaroo Case Study
    Examining the development of public space in foreshore Sydney: Barangaroo case study Kane Pham Submitted in complete fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Research January 2017 Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building University of Technology Sydney Abstract Urban development in Sydney since the 1970s has attempted to satisfy the needs of both a global audience and local citizens. Urban development and planning strategies have formed distinct and opposite development directions that fortify the mandate of the NSW Government and federal government to attract global capital, while the nested hierarchy of government has reduced the strength of local government to deliver equitable commons that provide open public spaces for their citizens. The thesis conducts a case study analysis of the Barangaroo precinct development tracing changes in the provision of public space through a review of the design competition documents, concept plans, modifications and associated media, to uncover and understand the implication of the Barangaroo precinct development on the quantitative and qualitative public space outcomes. The development of Sydney, Australia’s Global City, has favoured the imperative to provide an economic framework to enhance its position relative to other state capital cities and in a global context. This has stymied the development of public spaces where public space as an object of exchange and extraction is more highly valued than its social utility and outcomes are poor in the delivery of large urban developments. The thesis draws on a range of theoretical tools recognising cities as transdisciplinary spaces. An assemblage framework is applied to integrate more explicitly the often tacit sociospatial inputs within the economic discourse that dominates the urban entrepreneurial agenda.
