The original house was built by architect Frank Dixon in 1978 on top of a 15-metre tall concrete pole. The location provided commanding 360-degree views of one of the state's most popular stretches of coastline. However, the tiny 8x8 metre timber structure was no mansion. In fact, the original house was quite uncomfortable. None of the windows opened, so it got hot and stuffy in summer, and people sitting by the old fireplace in winter had their backs to the view. New owners Raymond and Kathi Adams purchased the property in 2005 for $1.75 million. Last year (2013) the original house was demolished and replaced by a similar-sized, architect-designed, steel-clad house on the same platform. The new house features retractable floor-to-ceiling windows, a perimeter walkway with a glassed balustrade, and a floating fireplace in the living area. The tiny house (also 8x8 metres) includes a bathroom and kitchenette. The toilet and supporting steel pole is concealed in a feature wall clad with warm burnt ash timber. Outside, the famous walkway has also been transformed with glass balustrades, giving visitors the sense of walking on air. The renovation also included the construction of a 2-storey, 3 bedroom house on land behind the pole house. Although the original owner, Frank Dixon passed away before seeing the finished product, the Adams are confident he would approve the new design. The house has been featured a number of times on television, including Better Homes and Gardens on Channel 7. The Fairhaven pole house is now available for holiday rental, sleep- ing a maximum of 2 people in the one queen-size bed. Costing between $3,300 and $4,900 per week, depending on the time of year, the house does not come cheap, but those unsurpassed views cannot be matched anywhere in the country! 2 1841 “Welcome to Mack’s Hotel sir. Joseph Mack is me name. I’m the owner of this hotel, Geelong’s only lodging place for visitors. Where’ve you come from today? Melbourne, eh? I hope you didn’t ‘ave too much trouble crossing the Exe.* With the heavy rain This engraving of Steam Packet Warf on the Geelong lately, many ’s a traveller whose waterfront by S.T. Gill in 1857 shows Mack’s Hotel in the background. ‘ad trouble at the punt there. The sooner they build a bridge across that river the better. I ‘ope you’ve got a pair of hobbles for that horse of yours. We ain’t got no stables yet, and we don’t want yer horse wandering away down Corio Terrace overnight now do we? But we do ‘ave plenty of hay. I’ll get one of the lads to bring some around the front for him, along with some water. How long ‘ave we been here you ask? Why, this ‘ere building was one of the first in Geelong. T’was built in July 1838 and originally known as the Wool Pack Inn. At the time there was only about 13 houses in the town, surrounded by dozens of tents. It’s built of rough-split timber slabs, but weather-proof enough. And in addition to the bar ‘ere, we have a parlour, 4 small bedrooms and a detached kitchen out the back. The women do the washin’ in the paddock next door along with the other townsfolk. I took over the business earlier this year, changed it’s name to me own, and plan to turn it into the finest hotel in the district! Now don’t you worry about that rough-lookin’ lot over at the bar. They may swear and cuss a fair bit, but they’re hard workers and good-hearted blokes. We get a fair few dock workers come up ‘ere after a days work to quench their thirst. Yes sir, with new settlers arrivin’ by ship every day, and the local farmers doin’ very well for themselves, this town is goin’ to boom, mark my words. In fact, we conduct lands sales ‘ere in the parlour on a regular basis. P’raps you may be interested in buying some land in the town? Anyways, I’ll get the missus to fix up one of the bedrooms for yer. I know Mack’s Hotel—as it appeared in 1935 * Exe: The Werribee River 3 she jist changed the straw in the mattresses earlier today, so there won’t be any bedbugs to keep yer company tonight. After you’ve freshened up, come back to the bar, enjoy a pint or two, and I’ll make sure the cook fixes yer up some vittles.” 1883 “Welcome to Mack’s Hotel sir. So, you say you’ve been here before? Well, you might notice a few changes have taken place. The place is now owned by the Geelong Club.* We hold our meetings here and lease out the rest of the hotel. Our future plan is to build new clubrooms on the block next door. You may recall Mr Mack had grand plans for this hotel. Unfortunately he became a victim of the depression that hit Geelong in the early 1840’s. In 1843 he sold the hotel to John Atkins and Robert Clarke. The poor fellow didn’t do much better after he sold the place, dying in 1868 from complications following a broken leg. Anyhow, it was Atkins and Clarke who followed through on Mack’s dream. In 1846 they demolished the old slab building, hired architect John Gill, and invested in the construction of the best hotel south of the Murray. It now contains a magnificent ball room, 64 feet by 29 feet, undisputedly the finest room in any of the Australian colonies; a supper room, coffee room, eight sitting rooms, bedrooms for 78 beds; brick stabling at the rear for 44 horses, with coach house, loose boxes and much more. They decided to keep the same name for the hotel, building on the good reputation already established with customers. John Gill— We purchased the property a couple of years ago. Architect of the So, what brings you to Geelong this fine day? Oh, you’ve sailed down 1846 Mack’s Hotel from Melbourne in the Edina for the wool sales, have you? Well, Dennys, Lascelles, Austin and Co. conduct their wool sales right here in our ballroom. You can inspect the bales in their warehouse just down on the corner of Moorabool Street, then come back here for a drink before the sales begin. Three other wool-brokers also have catalogues for the auction this afternoon. Wool prices are pretty solid at the moment, fetching between 10½ and 12½ pence a pound, so I hope you manage to get a good price for your clients in Melbourne. In the meantime sir, would you prefer an upstairs room or one on the ground floor? And just let me get one of the boys to help take your bags to your room.” 1911 “Welcome to Mack’s Hotel. I see you’ve arrived in one of those new automobiles. Just park it out front, away from where the horses and carriages pull up. It doesn’t cost anything to park just on the street here. * The Geelong Club—See the July 2011 edition of the Jillong Pocket for more information on this exclusive club. 4 George Strachan is my name. I’m the licensee of Mack’s Hotel now, even though the hotel’s in my wife’s name. I enjoy the hotelier business, but in Geelong at the moment, hotels seem to be located on every corner. So while business is struggling a bit, it means there’s plenty of rooms for you to choose from. You see, in 1888 the hotel was caught up in the Local Option debate,* and those clever gents at the Geelong Club next door obviously saw what was going to happen. The hotel being sold, it was taken over by members of the Temperance Society, who surrendered the hotel’s liquor license and turned Mack’s into a Coffee Palace!^ Can you believe it? It was them who built the second-story balcony and verandah on the front. Very nice in my opinion, but without being able to get a drop of liquor inside, it’s no wonder customers left in droves. Anyhow, my wife bought the property in 1895, and we could only get a license to serve wine to our customers. But don’t you worry about that. Under the counter here we have any type of beer, wine, or spirits your parched throat may desire. Just keep it between me and you shall we? There’s no need for the Superintendent down at the police station to concern himself with what goes on behind closed doors here now, does he?” 1952 This aerial photograph taken in 1926 shows “So, you’ve come over to watch the (from left to right) the Geelong Power Station, demolition in progress have you? It’s a sad the Geelong Club, Mack’s Hotel (arrowed), and day when one of Geelong’s icons bites the Strachan and Co.

  • The Legend of Moondyne Joe These Notes to Accompany the Legend of Moondyne Joe Provide Suggestions for Classroom Activities Base
    The Legend of Moondyne Joe These notes to accompany The Legend of Moondyne Joe provide suggestions for classroom activities based on or linked to the book's text and illustrations and highlight points for discussion. Synopsis Not known for gunfights or robbing banks, it was the convict bushranger Moondyne Joe’s amazing ability to escape every time he was placed behind bars that won him fame and the affection of the early settlers. Wearing a kangaroo-skin cape and possum-skin slippers, he found freedom in the wooded valleys and winding creeks at Moondyne Hills. Joe was harmless, except possibly to a few settlers whose horses had a ‘mysterious’ way of straying. When blamed for the disappearance of a farmer’s prize stallion the colonial authorities were soon to find out that there wasn’t a jail that could hold Joe! On Writing “The Legend of Moondyne Joe” By Mark Greenwood I wanted to create a fun story, accurate in detail, about a strength of spirit that was nurtured by life in the new colony. A book that would bring to life a legend from our colourful history. I believe by having an appreciation of their own history, children better understand themselves, their community and their culture. The Legend of Moondyne Joe aims to encourage interest in our convict history to a wide audience of middle to upper primary and lower secondary age children. The picture book format allows illustrations to bring characters and settings to life. Illustrations help readers to develop a feel for bygone eras that words alone cannot portray.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

  • Student Activity Sheet H20.3: Convict Clothing
    EPISODE 20 | 1818: CHARLES Unit focus: History Year level: Years 3–6 EPISODE CLIP: FENCING ACTIVITY 1: ESCAPE! Subthemes: Culture; Gender roles and stereotypes; Historical events The remoteness of Australia and its formidable landscape and harsh climate made this alien land an ideal choice as a penal settlement in the early 19th century. While the prospect of escape may initially have seemed inconceivable, the desire for freedom proved too strong for the many convicts who attempted to flee into the bush. Early escapees were misguided by the belief that China was only a couple of hundred kilometres to the north. Later, other convicts tried to escape by sea, heading across the Pacific Ocean. In this clip, Charles meets Liam, an escaped convict who is attempting to travel over the Blue Mountains to the west. Discover Ask students to research the reasons why Australia was selected as the site of a British penal colony. They should also find out who was sent to the colony and where the convicts were first incarcerated. Refer to the My Place for Teachers, Decade timeline – 1800s for an overview. Students should write an account of the founding of the penal settlement in New South Wales. As a class, discuss the difficulties convicts faced when escaping from an early Australian gaol. Examine the reasons they escaped and the punishments inflicted when they were captured. List these reasons and punishments on the board or interactive whiteboard. For more in-depth information, students can conduct research in the school or local library, or online.

  • A Bushranger at Bondi Junction
    A bushranger at Bondi Junction Sketch of Johnny Gilbert, c. 1860s The Waverley Hotel was an early local hotel which used to stand near the corner of Bondi Road and Waverley Crescent, Bondi Junction. It was described as ‘a bush shanty standing about 200 yards from the road’. On Saturday, 14 January 1854 the hotel was the scene of a murder when publican John Davis was found hacked to death. A newspaper description of the crime scene gives a sense of the bloody scene: ‘On the left side of the head was a terrible gash extending from eye to the ear, the bed and bedding being saturated with blood. Under the bed was found a blood-stained axe which had done the deed.’ The isolation of Bondi Junction made locals even more fearful that a murderer was loose in their midst, with the newspaper going on to explain: ‘This event has struck no small degree of dismay into the residents of the neighbourhood…there being no police protection, the nearest point…they could send for a constable being Paddington, a distance of nearly three miles.’ Suspicion immediately fell upon John Davis’s nephew, Joseph Roberts, described as a ‘mild looking youth said to be 17 years of age’ who worked with his uncle at the hotel and was now missing. Several mounted police started a search and Roberts was found 228 km from Sydney at Collector, near Canberra. He stated that he was riding to the goldfields. Evidence of Roberts’ guilt was purely circumstantial and local residents vouched for the boy’s good character.

To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

  • MATTHEW BRADY, BUSHRANGER (1799-1826) by Reg. A. Watson
    MATTHEW BRADY, BUSHRANGER (1799-1826) by Reg. A. Watson Matthew Brady, whose proper name was Bready, was born in Manchester of Irish parents. His occupation in England was that of a gentleman's servant, probably a groom. He was an excellent rider and perfect in his horsemanship. Brady was convicted of stealing a basket and some butter, bacon, sugar and rice and tried at Lancaster on 17 April 1820. He received a seven-year sentence of transportation, arriving in Australia in the convict ship Juliana on 29 December 1820. He rebelled against the conditions in Sydney and received, over time, a total of 350 lashes in punishment for misdemeanours and attempts to escape. In 1823, he was sent to the new penal settlement at Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbor, which had been established for secondary offenders and desperate prisoners. Remains of Sarah Island 2020. Reg Watson photo. On 7 June 1824, Brady was part of a group of fifteen escapees from Sarah Island, who sailed a whaleboat around the south coast to the River Derwent and spent the next two years as bushrangers with him as leader and James McCabe as his lieutenant. The Hobart Town Gazette (22nd October 1825 P.1) describes him as being 5’51/2” with dark brown hair. Brady was considered a gentleman, who rarely robbed or insulted women. On one occasion McCabe tried to force a servant girl to kiss him. As a result, an outraged Brady shot him in the hand and threw him out of the gang. However, the military considered him a dangerous bushranger, particularly after Brady's gang held up the township of Sorell (population in 1826 of bond and free – 703).
