  • The Creation of Jubilee Park and Its Oval. by Max Solling The
    The Creation of Jubilee Park and its Oval. by Max Solling The configuration of the Glebe waterfront was altered during the nineteenth century by extensive reclamation. Johnston’s Creek, which began in Stanmore, and Orphan School Creek with its source on the University ridges, ran down through Glebe. Tidal swamps fringed with mangroves extended along these creeks before they emptied into Rozelle Bay. In 1878 the proprietors of Toxteth Park were reportedly carrying out reclamation work along Johnston’s Creek in 1878. 1 As Glebe was filling up with houses, in December 1886 ratepayers at a public meeting urged the government to resume Allen’s Glen for the purposes of public recreation.2 William Pritchard, former Leichhardt councillor, referred to the area in 1891 as “North Annandale a few years ago known as the stinkpot, a reputation earned for it by the horrible stenches and miasma that came from the mangrove swamps” near the head of Rozelle Bay. The Sydney Freehold Land Building and Investment Company, both owner and financier of development of North Annandale Estate, had then begun reclaiming the swampy land, as did the Allen family who owned the other side of Johnston’s Creek.3 Francis Abigail MLA urged Henry Parkes MLA and Premier to have swamp reclamation works carried out.4 The Public Works Department thus began construction in 1893 of a ballast dyke from the mouth of White’s Creek to Glebe Point. A government dredge, the ‘Groper’, cut up the clay with rotating knives below. A vertical suction pipe was used to pump the dredged sediment half a mile, to be discharged behind the stone dyke.

  • The Chinese Experience in Australia
    The Chinese Experience in Australia © ASIA Volume 43 Number 2 79 The Chinese Experience in Australia – A Brief Outline for Stages 3– 5 by Di Dunlop dward Hargraves returned to Australia from California in 1851 where he had experienced the Efrenzy of the Gold Rushes in California. He had previously been at Bathurst in New South Wales and believed that the local rock formations resembled what he had seen in California. He spent time panning in Bathurst, and found gold. On 15 May 1851 the discovery was announced and workers flocked to the area to make their fortunes. By August of that year the interest had shifted to Victoria, because Thomas Hiscock had discovered gold on the rich alluvial flats at Ballarat. Both Geelong and Melbourne were almost emptied of men. By the end of the same year news of the discoveries had spread around the world. Hopefuls came from Ireland, Scotland, England and America. By the end of 1853 the decline in income of the alluvial digger caused him to perceive a wider significance in the difference between the equality and mateship of the goldfields, Banner from 1860 and 1861 anti-Chinese rebellion on the Lambing Flat goldfields, now present day Young, NSW.

  • Culture and Customs
    Sydney Journal 1(3) December 2008 ISSN 1835-0151 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/sydney_journal/index Religion Hilary M Carey The modern city of Sydney has a reputation to uphold for its larrikin spirit, hedonism and resistance to authority – including that represented by organised religion. Just how this reputation was achieved has never been seriously researched but it is usually assumed that Sydney’s convict origins and the number of Irish Catholics in the demographic mix have something to do with it. In fact it is truer to say that religion has had a profound influence on the geography, culture, politics, and artistic life of the city. While religion in Sydney has mostly been a conservative force, preserving traditions transported there from home societies, it has also reflected the setting and people of Sydney, its harbour, bushland and suburbs. This article reviews the history of religion in Sydney and the role it has played in the lives of those who have made their home here. Aboriginal traditions The Aborigines of the Sydney region were divided socially and culturally into dozens of local clans and five main language groups: Guringai to the north, Darkinjung to the north-west of the Hawkesbury, Dharug on the coast (another Dharug dialect was spoken inland), Dharawal from the south side of Botany Bay down to the Shoalhaven, and Gundungurra on the southern rim of the Cumberland plain and west to the Georges River.1 From the observations of Watkin Tench and David Collins in the 1780s, as well as the accounts published by the ethnographer RH Mathews in the 1890s, it can be assumed that the religious beliefs of the Sydney people resembled those described in more detail by the missionary Lancelot Threlkeld (1788–1859) for the people of Lake Macquarie (Awaba) and the Hunter River, whose language and country adjoined that of the Guringai to the north.

  • Beynon, D. Big Gold Mountain Redux
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND VOL. 33 Edited by AnnMarie Brennan and Philip Goad Published in Melbourne, Australia, by SAHANZ, 2016 ISBN: 978-0-7340-5265-0 The bibliographic citation for this paper is: David Beynon “Big Gold Mountain Redux.” In Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand: 33, Gold, edited by AnnMarie Brennan and Philip Goad, 46-53. Melbourne: SAHANZ, 2016. David Beynon Deakin University BIG GOLD MOUNTAIN REDUX The institutional underpinnings of Australian architectural history have so far treated the long-term Asian influence on its architectural development as a marginal phenomenon. However Chinese settlements were integral to nineteenth- century goldmining towns and associated with the founding of Ararat and the establishment of Daoist/Buddhist temples from South Melbourne to the Atherton Tablelands. This association led to Australia being referred to as Dai Gum San (Big Gold Mountain). More recently, after the long interregnum of the Immigration Restriction Act, Chinese- Australian cultural-architectural engagement has been revived, as more dispersed forms of fortune are again sought on Australian shores. This paper draws upon current institutional thinking about the blurring of the boundaries between traditional and modern, Eastern and Western. It further develops a discourse that provokes ongoing questions about Australia’s architectural identity in a world where, on the one hand, China’s power and influence is steadily growing in economic, political and cultural terms, while on the other, the Chinese diaspora has developed its own local characteristics. This involves reconsideration of the increasingly integral role of Chinese settlers in the development of Australian architecture, as they apply to both the physical changes and flows of people that have resulted from processes of globalisation, but also to the flows of capital and influence that have been formed as a result.
