Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

The Queenslanders would be going home – albeit as colonial cousins – taking with them their experience of the sub-tropics. Without their verandahs but with their pediments intact, the form and planning, fenestration and detailing can be interpreted as Palladian, translated into timber, the material originally available in abundance for building construction. ‘High-set’, the local term for South-East Queensland’s raised houses, denotes a feature that is very much the traditional Italian piano nobile [‘noble floor’]: the principal living areas on a first floor with a rusticated fac¸ade of battens infilling between stumps and shaped on the principal elevation as a superfluous arcade to a non-existent basement storey.

  • Crucial Errors in Murder Investigations Bond University Press
    Why is it that some people are convicted of murders that they did not commit, while others are not conyicted of murders that they did commit? Australian Police Services are generally well funded, so something more must be involved. Just what that is, is investigated in this book. To minimise the prospect of future errors, we need' both to scrutinise past cases where errors have been revealed, and to investigate police training procedures with a view to uncovering any errors of omission or commission, to see what scope there is for improvements. Each of us has good reason to take an interest in such matters, since any one of us could be a victim if we are in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact all of us are victims to the extent that some guilty parties continue to walk free on our streets, and as taxpayers all of us fund the additional costs of dealing with crime, including the sizeable compensation payments that are made to those whose wrongful convictions are quashed. This-book deals with instructive cases which continue to agitate the public mind, and makes practical suggestions for improved procedures.

  • The French Disconnection
    THE FRENCH DISCONNECTION MILES LEWIS French influence in Australian architecture and building was very conside rable up to the time of the Great War, but it was nearly always indirect. First it arrived by way of Britain, and then by way of Germany and the United States as well. The only major direct link was the importation, mainly from 1890- 1914, of the Marseilles pattern roof tile. It was this direct assimilation of a component not widely known in France, and hardly known at all in Britain, that finally produced an enduring and totally naturalised French element of Austra lian building which remains with us today. PISE DE TERRE The earlier arm's length influence is most strongly shown in the case of pise de terre construction, for this was used hardly at all in England, and yet its quite extensive use in Australia was based upon English versions of ultimately French material. As this strange course of events has been discussed by the present writer elsewhere,1 it can be summarised here with only minor additions. Pise construction had apparently been introduced to France by Hannibal and had become totally acclimatised, especially in the Lyonnais, before it was quite suddenly rediscovered and promulgated in 1772-1797 by Georges-Claude Goif- fon, the Abbe Francois Pilatre de Rozier, Boulard (a building inspector at Lyons), Francois Cointeraux, and Jancour (a refugee priest).2 These accounts attracted the attention of the English architect Henry Holland, who built some experimental structures in pise at Woburn Abbey in 1787-8, and of the Board of Agriculture.3 There are only sporadic references to other experiments in England approa ching the character of pise, which is distinguished by the fact that it is formed of fairly dry gravelly soil rammed into place in thin layers between timber form- work, which is repositioned until a wall is complete.
