  • Robyn Parker MP Minister for the Environment Minister for Heritage
    Robyn Parker MP Minister for the Environment Minister for Heritage MEDIA RELEASE 17 April 2013 HUNTER REGION SHINES DURING NATIONAL HERITAGE WEEK The Hunter will celebrate two centuries of agricultural history today when the NSW Heritage Minister, Robyn Parker announces the listing of Tocal College on the State Heritage Register this afternoon as well as releasing a comprehensive study into the region’s pastoral homesteads. NSW Heritage Minister, Robyn Parker will visit Tocal College this afternoon with the Chair of the NSW Heritage Council, Professor Lawrence Nield to mark this significant event. Ms Parker said Tocal College and the Hunter Homesteads Project report showed how important agriculture was in the settlement and growth of the Hunter Valley – and remains today. “The 1965 Tocal College complex is a modernist masterpiece and one of Australia’s leading agricultural learning institutions, set in the grounds of one of the country’s oldest pastoral homesteads and a still thriving farming complex teaching new generations about agriculture,” Ms Parker said. “It takes inspiration from the colonial farm buildings of the original 1841 Tocal homestead, with carpentry detailing that emulates the craftsmanship of builders a century and a half ago. “The soaring roof trusses of the hall have the grandeur of a Gothic cathedral and were inspired by the Tocal barn designed 100 years before by Colonial architect Edmund Blacket. “The astonishing spire of the chapel is a feat of engineering, while the interior of the chapel is designed to maximise light and sunshine.” Ms Parker said the popularity of Tocal College and the Tocal Field Day in May showed just how important agriculture remains to the story of the Hunter.

  • The Transformation of the Open Forest and Indigenous Grasslands
    Chapter 6: The Transformation of the Open Forest and Indigenous Grasslands Hunter’s River, without any flourish, is a fine settlement; the whole country appeared as if it wanted mowing – large flocks and herds are fast accumulating and many settlers are investing considerable property in building, fencing and clearing. All are rising into that desirable condition of having bread enough and to spare. In a few years they will constitute a powerful squirealty, truly enviable, if they preserve the free, guileless, open and generous character of an English country gentleman. (Monitor: 23/6/1826). Introduction The European settlers walked into manicured indigenous parkland with a rich diversity of grasses and forbs, see Box 6.1. The transformation of this grassland was to be rapid and irreversible. This chapter deals with that transformation and brings it to the context of the present day where a range of exotic grasses, eucalypts and cattle compete to dominate the landscape together with a changing series of influences from humans. The transformation of the landscape has been significant and the factors involved are complex. Chapter 3 on the Indigenous influences concluded with a description of the vegetation of Tocal as we believe it would have been prior to the arrival of Europeans. This analysis and map should be seen as the starting point for the contents of this chapter. Europeans inherited a rich and diverse grassland system, dotted with trees and a broad biodiversity of plant life. The River would have been fringed with a significant rainforest and wetland vegetation complex, which imparted stability to the ecosystem.

  • The Tocal Apiary
    The Tocal Apiary The Tocal Apiary Project Design Report was submited to the School of Architecture and the Build Environment on Friday 20 November 2015, in partal fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Design Program at the University of Newcastle. The report includes a visual descripton of the design process and key phases of the project and should be read in conjuncton with the Architectural Management and Practce Report contained within. Lecturer: Ramsey Awad Student: Cameron White C3166569 PART 1 PROJECT SUMMARY Preface The purpose of this book is to chronicle the evoluton of a singular project over the course of a year, however the nature of the creatve process is such that nothing happens in isolaton - ideas and concepts develop and change over tme. Having acknowledged this, the following pages form a journey of discovery, including my successes and failures, which have led to the fnal design. Hearing about the plight of bees originally piqued my interest in the project topic. With the collapse of bee populatons globally due to climate change, disease, parasites and insectcides and my growing interest in growing urban populatons, sustainable building, eco tourism and food producton security, I decided to explore further. Our agricultural industries depend on the work of bees, so it is in all our interest to protect bees from extncton. I drew my inspiraton from the bees and their hives, who are master architects themselves, using hexagons to build honeycomb hives that create the maximum amount of space while utlizing the minimal amount of material. The Tocal Apiary is inspired to help bees thrive in the open.
