Army Museum of Western Australia DALTON, Mr James Richard, Board Member, Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation DEYKIN, Mr John Dewar, Board Chairman, Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation OLSON, Mrs Dale Wendy, Secretary, Board of Management, Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation SWEETMAN, Mr John Raymond, Board Member, Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation CHAIR—I declare open this public hearing looking into the disposal of Defence properties. Before inviting the representatives of the Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation to present their evidence, I just want to make a brief statement. Arising out of evidence that was taken yesterday from the Fremantle City Council, their submission, No. 16, said: More disturbing is the admission from Defence Estate Organisation representatives following the announcement of this Senate Inquiry, that the inquiry will have no impact on the sale of the Fremantle Artillery Barracks which will proceed regardless of the Inquiry outcomes (meeting at the City of Fremantle offices on 15/9/2000). I was approached by Mr Bain from the Defence Estate office at the conclusion of yesterday’s meeting to say that that was not a true reflection of the way in which matters were conveyed to the Fremantle City Council. Mr Bain wanted to have the opportunity to refute that statement today and I am not denying natural justice, but I said we will take that in evidence when we have the Defence Estate Organisation before us on 10 November in Canberra. For the sake of the other witnesses who will appear today, and for the record at this early stage, I just advise that Defence Estate do have a different view of the events that did take place that day and what may have been said. Having said that, I welcome to this hearing representatives of the Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation. The committee prefers all evidence to be given in public, but should you at any stage wish to give any part of your evidence in private you may ask to do so and the committee will consider your request. The committee has before it a written submission from the Army Museum of Western Australia Foundation. Are there any alterations or additions you would like to make to your submission at this stage? Mr Deykin—There are none, Mr Chairman. We will be covering all the aspects in speaking to the submission. CHAIR—I now invite you to make an opening statement and then we will proceed to questions. FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENCE AND TRADE FAD&T 48 SENATE—References Thursday, 19 October 2000

  • The Society Congratulates Dr Howard Gray, Winner of the Williams
    October 2019 GENERAL MEETING The next meeting at Stirling House is on Wednesday 16 October at 6pm when Dr Joseph Christensen will present a paper on ‘Cyclones in the first century of European settlement in northwest Western Australia’. Refreshments available from 5.30pm; Bookshop open until 6pm. Tropical cyclones or willy-willys are a recurring feature of life in Western Australia north of the 26th parallel and feature regularly in the work of historians about the vast northwest districts. Few however have sought to look beyond cyclones as singular events to consider them instead as a process shaping patterns of settlement across time. This paper looks at how cyclones have shaped the post-settlement history of the northwest by examining the ways that colonists adjusted to the threat and reality of extreme tropical weather at sea and on land. It therefore aims to look beyond the periodic ‘cyclone disasters’ that devastated coastal shipping and the pearling fleets in the era before the Second World War to also consider a series of lesser-known events that had subtle yet lasting impacts on settlements stretching from Shark Bay to Broome. Cyclones, the paper suggests, are an important aspect of post-settlement history in the northwest. Joseph Christensen is a research fellow at Murdoch University, where he works on the maritime and environmental history of WA. His most recent publication is the edited collection Pearls, People and Power: Pearling and Indian Ocean Worlds (with Pedro Machado and Steve Mullins). The Society congratulates Dr Howard Gray, winner of the Williams/ Lee Steere Publications Prize for 2019 Howard Gray, Jambinbirri - Champion Bay: Geraldton Western Australia: a pictorial and narrative history, Westralian Books, Geraldton, 2018.

  • Documentation of Places
    REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Cultural heritage significance means aesthetic, historic, scientific, social or spiritual value for individuals or groups within Western Australia. In determining cultural heritage significance, the Heritage Council has had regard to the factors in the Heritage Act 2018 and the indicators adopted on 14 June 2019. PRINCIPAL AUSTRALIAN HISTORIC THEME(S) • 7.7.1 Providing for the common defence • 7.7.2 Preparing to face invasion • 7.7.3 Going to war HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA THEME(S) • 501 World Wars and other wars 11(a) Importance in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Western Australia’s history Cape Peron K Battery Complex is important as a component of Australia's coastal defence system erected in response to external threats during World War II. The Battery formed part of the chain of gun emplacements erected in the west during the war, referred to as ‘Fremantle Fortress’, stretching from between Swanbourne, Cape Peron, Leighton, Woodman Point, Fremantle, Garden Island, and Rottnest Island. Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates the military importance of Cockburn Sound during World War II. Cape Peron K Battery Complex has been associated with the defence of Australia since its acquisition by the Commonwealth in 1916. 11(b) Importance in demonstrating rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Western Australia’s heritage Cape Peron K Battery Complex demonstrates a distinctive method of coastal defence that is no longer relevant in the age of modern warfare. Although part of a chain of coastal defences established in Western Australia during WWII, the apparent lack of consistency in the design of some of these places makes each rare for its ability to reveal information about the innovation Register of Heritage Places Cape Peron K Battery Complex 3 13 October 2019 of defence personnel and their adaptation of coastal defence sites to suit local conditions and requirements.

  • The Aiming Post
    THE AIMING POST The Royal Australian Artillery Historical Society Of Western Australia Newsletter Issue 4/99 November 1999 PRESIDENT’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Dear Member, On behalf of my Management Committee colleagues, I wish you all a most joyous Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year. As we enter the new Millennium, many of us will reflect on our lives through the 20th century - the highs and lows, the thrills and spills, together with the successes and disappointments and in amongst it all will be the part that the military life has played. I greatly enjoy meeting with Gunners of all ages, as it is very clear that Artillery service has encouraged and indeed provided great comradeship and fostered relationships that last forever. As you are aware, the Royal Australian Artillery Historical Society was formed to develop and maintain Artillery heritage in Western Australia, and whilst most would regard this role applicable to physical aspects - equipment and memorabilia, it is obvious that traditions and links are an integral part. The recent establishment of the 3 Field Regiment Members Association is one certain way that we can maintain links with serving Gunners as well as those who have most recently left the active list and, by this group forging close working links with this Society, it is my belief that our Artillery heritage will well and truly be preserved. The Year 2000 is a milestone and a time to reflect and also to look ahead with great confidence. At this time I would like to thank members for their wonderful contribution and support for our activities and to wish you all a safe and happy festive season.
