Pic: Fergus Fricke 2:30pm – 4:30pm with Q&A Dr Stephen Gapps, President of the History Council of NSW and author of: The Sydney Wars: Confl ict in the Early Colony 1788-1817 Local histories are never really confi ned to buildings or places but sprawl across landscapes and over time. In this talk Stephen will consider the value of community history in the context of understanding our broader relationships with the past in the present and why this important work still has so much to be done, and in many cases, to be re-done. Sarah Luke, author: of Callan Park, Hospital for the Insane (2018) Remembering those who dwell in the margins: Callan Park and the ‘Vernon Boys’ Sarah explores the relationship between Callan Park and the Nautical School Ships, Vernon and Sobraon, moored permanently at Cockatoo Island between 1867-1911 for the reception of homeless and often criminal boys. Both institutions were home to marginalised groups in society. Today they are generally regarded as ‘awkward’ moments in the history of NSW; they are misunderstood and, in some cases, have been deliberately forgotten or distorted. Sarah will trace the stories of a patient at Callan Park and his son, one of the Vernon boys, and members of a colourful Colonial family – and consider the benefi ts of knowing the past at these two signifi cant sites.
