The Karrakatta Club: Looking Back—Looking Forward Member of the Australian and International Associations of Lyceum Clubs KARRAKATTA CLUB Established November 1894 NEWSLETTER: OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2019 MANAGEMENT REPORT Dear members, This has really been a momentous year for the Karrakatta Club. After a period of very careful checking of all our operations, the decision to relinquish our much-loved premises was not an easy one. It was reached after extensive consultation with auditors, commercial real-estate agents, lawyers and most importantly with you, the members. What became apparent is that belonging to a private club is about people, not things. It is the quality of relationships developed over many years that counts. That our members could make such a difficult decision, and could look to the future rather than the past, is hugely encouraging. There is a collective will to continue as a group which can only benefit us all. As I write this, we are still not able to make an announcement about our premises. Nevertheless, our programme will continue. Lyceum speakers are already being booked, and that programme is assured. Your committee is also hoping that a future free of financial constraints will allow us to explore all sorts of other activities; theatre or opera excursions, film outings, trips of some sort. We are counting on you to let us know what you would like us to provide. Meanwhile the last part of the year brings some very special events. Our birthday celebrations in October, our fun-filled Melbourne Cup and our Christmas lunch seem really significant this year. If this really is our last time here, let’s savour them with enormous gratitude for all the happy memories we share. We could not have managed this recent period of uncertainty without our wonderful staff. In the absence of a paid manager, special tribute must be paid to Janice. In her new role as Hospitality Manager she has been outstanding, taking on many extra responsibilities and handling them beautifully. Mel, too has stepped up, assisted by Michaela and Chloe. They have done us proud. The office team of Antonietta and Louise has also been superb. Their quiet efficiency, their preparedness to take on new challenges, and their invariable charm and tact have delighted us all. Thank you! Finally, we have been truly blessed in the wonderful committee who have served us so well. When a small group of women with very diverse talents come together with a common purpose, the result is amazing. Where different views have been expressed, we have mulled them over until everyone is of one mind. This selfless contribution is beyond price! So, ladies, the Karrakatta Club is alive and well. Our dream is that we can reach out to other women’s groups, to truly bring together the women of the community for ‘mutual improvement and enjoyment’, as our founders hoped. We want you all to be part of this journey, supporting and encouraging those around you, and continuing to benefit from the welcoming environment that our club provides. We want your ideas and suggestions. We will also be looking for some new Committee members for next year. Please let us know if you’d like to be part of the team.

They are Laurel Howard, Kathleen Smith and Dixie Gunning and they will be joining us for the screening and Birthday Lunch. The event starts with a welcome drink at 11.30am, followed by the screening in the Lyceum Room at 12.00 noon. A two-course lunch will be served at 1.00pm in the Dining Room. Meet Lady Onslow, first President of the Karrakatta Club, on 4th October at a special screening of the play “Through the Years”. Lady Onslow can be seen in the photograph below, also displayed in the Club. Madeline Emma Onslow (1851-1926) was the first President of the Karrakatta Club, serving from 1894-1901. She persuaded the Karrakatta Club to debate and discuss woman suffrage and worked for the cause in Western Australia. In 1899 she was instrumental in the formation of the Women's Franchise League, which lobbied strongly for the vote until it was granted to the women of Western Australia in 1899. In 1901 she returned to England where she worked to achieve the franchise for the women of the United Kingdom. She was born in England, the daughter of Rev. Robert Loftus Tottenham of Florence and granddaughter of the Bishop of Clogher. She arrived in the colony of Western Australia in 1880 with her husband, Sir Alexander Onslow whom she married on 4th February 1878. She died in England in 1926.

"With Fire In Her Heart: the Edith Cowan Story," was funded by the Western Australian Depart- ment of Culture and the Arts and is directed by Dr. Gabrielle Metcalf from Edith Cowan University. The play was written by Western Australian writer, Trevor Todd, as part of his Writer In Residence at the Peter Cowan Writers' Centre. It traces her life from age seven to seventy-one and chronicles the seemingly impossible obstacles that she had to overcome and her tragic early family life.

The state of Western Australia had only emerged from its British colony status three years earlier. Federation was still seven years away. There was no electricity, no telephone, no radio, no cars.

Contested West Perth 1924, 1927 (for WEL). First woman elected to an Australian Parliament. In March 1921 Edith Cowan had the distinction of being the first woman to be elected to an Australian Parliament and only the second woman in the British Empire to sit in Parliament. Her surprise victory at the age of 59, by only 46 votes after the distribution of preferences, in the seat of West Perth was accomplished after an outstanding record as a pioneer of women’s involvement in public life. Edith Cowan regarded the right of women to vote as a ‘natural right’, and a self-evident extension to this was the right to sit in Parliament. During her one term in the Legislative Assembly she was responsible for achieving the rare passage of two important private member’s Bills: one measure specified that a person should not be disqualified ‘by sex or marriage’ from exercising any public function, from practising law or from entering any other profession; while the other gave equal inheritance rights to mothers when a child died intestate and without issue. A scholarly biography of Edith Cowan (1861–1932) by her grandson Peter Cowan, entitled A Unique Position,1 was published in 1978. The work depicted that she had a troubled childhood after being born at Glengarry near Geraldton on 2 August 1861.

  • WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, Arrivals 1829-1850
    WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, arrivals 1829-1850 Leigh S. L. Beaton, B.A (Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary institution. …………………………. (Leigh Beaton) i THESIS ABSTRACT Before the end of 1850, Scottish settlers in Western Australia represented a small minority group of what was, in terms of the European population, a predominantly English colony. By comparison to the eastern Australian colonies, Western Australia attracted the least number of Scottish migrants. This thesis aims to broaden the historiography of Scottish settlement in Australia in the nineteenth century by providing insights into the lives of Westralian Scots. While this thesis broadly documents Scottish settlement, its main focus is Scottish identity. Utilising techniques of nominal record linkage and close socio- biographical scrutiny, this study looks beyond institutional manifestations of Scottish identity to consider the ways in which Scottishness was maintained in everyday lives through work, social and religious practices. This thesis also demonstrates the multi-layered expressions of national identity by recognising Scottish identity in the Australian colonies as both Scottish and British. The duality of a Scottish and British identity made Scots more willing to identify eventually as Westralian
