Baragoola Week Ending 25Th September ‘11 Baragoola Week Ending 25th September ‘11 In attendance: Nick, Gary, Ernie, Lance, Peter C, Peter H, Glenn, Bill, David, Geoff E, Geoff L, Luke and Mark Visitors: Many! Don’t forget that all donations over $2 are now tax deductible – why not do what some of our donors have and set up an automatic payment once a week, fortnight or month ? Coming up: On the 1st of October the boat will again be closed as we will be holding a lunch for all volunteers past and present to say “thank you” for the immense amount of work that has been done so far – a monumental effort has been put in by our dedicated team and Baragoola is certainly looking the better for it – no longer can she be given the derelict tag and she is certainly shaping up to being a gem of the harbour. Volunteers must let me know if you are coming. We’re still chasing a fairly hefty fundraising target (you can see it on our main webpage) but are inching closer every week. With our tax deductible gift status there’s no reason now to hold off on donations! Last week we had outgoings of $0 and we made $500. I haven’t included yesterdays takings as these haven’t been banked yet – they’ll show up in next week’s total. Later this year we are also booked for a BBQ at Bunnings Belrose, we have a couple of our members who have volunteered to assist with this event but still need a further four – if you can assist please let us know. This week’s anniversaries: Brightside burns out in 1908 (Wednesday) – Brightside was an ex Brisbane ferry originally named Emu Baragoola ordered 1920 (Friday) – last Sydney built Manly ferry On Saturday we held our open day and it was very successful. Much work was done during the week to prepare the boat for her visitors – scrubbed, tidied and cleaned she looked less a work site on more a ferry on the day. A great effort was turned in by all members who assisted – a special mention for Glenn who very kindly donated his time and boat to run people to and from the Baragoola and was kept very busy. The weather gods were kind too – the threatened rain held off until after everyone was gone later in the afternoon. Our onboard display First arrivals turned up at 10am and there was a steady stream of people after that, in total we had nearly fifty people on board – this surpassed our last open day (back in March) when we had around forty or so visitors. A good amount was raised in donations and sales and hopefully we’ll also get a few new members and volunteers as well (we usually do after these events). Tours of the boat were held and a highlight of these were the engine room demonstrations with both Gardners running, the bilge and general service pumps being shown in running order and the no. 1 English Electric being run on several occasions. At midday we gave a talk on the Baragoola, her history and her part in the Manly ferry trade and on the association and our plans for the vessel which was well received. A few special guest aboard as well, in particular some of the guys from Sydney Ferries including Austin Hart, himself a Manly master and son of Goola’s last master, Ron Hart. Ernie takes a group through the generator flat In all, a very good day was had by all. Baragoola is increasingly becoming quite a destination on the harbour; it isn’t unusual to see other boats coming in close for a good look – tourist boats, small ferries, private vessels and even the occasional ferry from Sydney ferries. This week has been no different – on Saturday afternoon a semi-regular visitor tied up, the 1922 built Protest, an ex Stannards and Nicholson rope boat. She’s a pretty little boat and has been beautifully restored by her owner (Michael) and his family. She’s also the same age as our vessel and has most of her original fittings. Sunday morning saw a return visit from Yvonne Goolagong – second time in a week that this ferry has been close up to Goola – we noticed yesterday that one of the RiverCats carrying passengers swung close by as well and a visit was had from the Sydney Heritage Fleet’s Lady Hopetoun about two o’clock on their harbour tour. Much different to 18 months ago when Baragoola, looking run down and decrepit and consigned by the powers that be to the scrap heap! Protest mooring alongside yesterday afternoon Yvonne Goolagong this morning One point that can be made from yesterday and was brought up a few times was that there is still a lot of misinformation about Baragoola out there – that’s she’s worn out, beyond redemption and of little value. Each and every person that we spoke with yesterday went away with a very different view – that Baragoola is in far better condition than has been publicly made out (a lot of damage was done and is still being done by the highly inaccurate and invalid BoatCheck report commissioned by Heritage Branch two years ago). Baragoola’s restoration is proceeding well and much has been accomplished by our very dedicated team – much still remains to be done but parts of the vessel are now approaching completion – for example the main cabin is nearly dome – we aim to have this large area fully completed (apart from repolishing the deck) by the 8th of October. Painting in this area is nearly completed, all light fitting are in place and Gary completed most of the deckhead painting this week. In the next couple of weeks the remaining cable trays will be installed, wiring completed and the existing galley demolished and moved. Once completed this area is being made available for community use and the relevant local councils were this week advised that it is ready for that purpose. Gary painting the deckhead in the main cabin Yesterday afternoon Gary, Nick and Geoff spent some time relocating the remaining existing seating to the correct positions as well; these will be restored in line with some of the others we’ve already done. Investigative work was done to determine what fittings need to go back to allow some of these seats to be replaced. We will also re-manufacture some (but not all) of the missing ones. It’d also be handy to get back some of those, or even perhaps others from other Manly boats that have been broken up. Contact us if you have any fittings from these and would like to donate them to the association. Example of restored seating – this one sill needs the cups for the feet Don’t forget – all donations above two dollars are now tax deductible – see our website for details on how to donate. Also, if you have Google Talk installed you can chat to us if anyone is online and nearby the computer – add [email protected] as a friend. That’s it for this week – don’t forget you can keep up with all the latest on our forums at http://www.savethebaragoola.com/forum/index.php and you can see our old newsletters at http://www.savethebaragoola.com/works.html We have a few new items in our shop – several new mugs. More things (like pens, caps and key rings) will be arriving soon as well. Coming in to summer we’ll be expanding the clothing range with more t- shirts, polos and caps available – watch this space. Next weekend we will not be open for work, we are holding a lunch on board for all past and present volunteers. If you are planning on coming let me know so I can work out catering.

  • MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA
    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.

  • Baragoola Week Ending 8Th January 2012
    Baragoola Week Ending 8th January 2012 In attendance this week: Nick, Glen, Lance, Gary, Geoff E, Geoff L, Ernie, Stuart and Ben Visitors: Two Only $10 raised last week – our lowest for a few months but then again it’s the holiday season straight after Christmas so there isn’t a great deal of cash around. One outgoing which was $6 for the phone bill. This time last year we ran a series of very successful charity auctions on eBay raising several thousand dollars for the boat thanks to the generosity of our members. So, a year later we are going to do it again. Can you help with our fundraising efforts by donating items that you no longer need? We will take any item – old furniture, knick knacks, electrical and consumer goods, old computer equipment (especially form the early to mid eighties), books, tapes & DVD’s – in fact anything you’ve got laying around causing clutter and can spare us. Contact [email protected] – we’ve already received several items and we’ll start auctioning these off shortly – many thanks to everyone who’s donated items so far! We’re currently running our old stock of souvenir mugs out and replacing them with a new line, details of the run-out can be found online at http://www.baragoola.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=1070.0 and also our first new item for this year (limited edition 90th anniversary mug – only ten available so order yours early) at http://www.baragoola.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=1079.0 First off a little history – when people think of the Manly ferry, they perhaps think of the four Freshwater ferries, or older people may think of Baragoola, North Head, South Steyne or the two Scottish steamers.

Donations $2 and above are tax deductible so please consider making a donation to help save this very last original Manly ferry for generations to come. Committee News Nothing from the committee this week! Finances Our bank balance increased by $290 this week From the editor Our new postal address: PO Box 374 Crows Nest, NSW, 1585 Please ensure you address any correspondence to this address in future. Over the coming weeks and months we will be increasing our fundraising activities and looking at ways to vastly ramp up our ability to earn money. The restoration of Baragoola needs a large sum of money – we are totally funded by donations and will be seeking ways to interest large commercial donors and sponsors – for this we need the help of all association members and are looking to the broader membership to assist. The small amounts we gain through private donations and sale of items is enough for the day to day running of the association, but we need some serious money if we are to achieve our goal of getting Baragoola slipped and the hull repaired (or areas replaced as needed) if we are to keep this important heritage item going as a viable entity for many years to come.

  • Free-Trade Ferries: a Case for Competition Alexander Philipatos
    Free-Trade Ferries: A Case for Competition Alexander Philipatos EXECUTIVE SUMMARY No. 127 • 27 October 2011 Sydney needs a network of ferries that is able to cater to the city’s changing demographics but is also financially sustainable and responsible. The current state-controlled model has proved inefficient, backward looking, and costly to taxpayers. Sydney Ferries made more passenger trips in 2000–01 than in 2009–10, and has reported persistent deficits for the past six years despite subsidies accounting for over 50% of revenue. A number of accidents in early 2007 prompted a Special Commission of Inquiry (the Walker inquiry) into Sydney Ferries. The inquiry revealed a host of problems and brought them to the forefront of the political debate. Four years later, there is agreement on both sides of politics that the ferry system needs reform. The NSW Coalition government’s franchise reform, with similarities to Brisbane’s model, is a public-private partnership that attempts to address some of the problems outlined in the Walker inquiry. However, the problems discussed in the inquiry are actually symptoms of deeper structural problems. Monopoly and regulation are the root causes of the ferries’ woes and have led to labour, managerial and financial problems. Since the franchise plans do not address the underlying causes, the reforms will not generate lasting progress. Instead, problems will persist because a franchise monopoly is in effect a halfway solution—an attempt to involve the private sector but not allowing the forces of competition to operate. Government control of fares and route structure will continue to increase costs and stifle innovation.

My own research on the Carment and Inglis families’ histories represents one such journey that began about half a century ago. As a boy in Sydney, I was curious about my mainly Scottish ancestry and asked my parents and other relations about it. Although I was Australian-born and never travelled outside Australia until I was an adult, Scottish associations and influences were prominent during my childhood. My Carment and Inglis grandmothers were born in Scotland, while my Carment grandfather received his university education and worked there. Scotland was often mentioned in family conversations.

Last week we had outgoings of $0 and we made $0. This week’s anniversaries (Manly ferry related): 8th November 1900 – Kuring-gai was launched, similar to the wooden hulled Manly, Kuring-gai was a steel vessel and bigger. She largely can be recognised as the true fore-runner of the next nine boats for the Port Jackson Company. Her wreck can be seen on the Hunter River near the old Stockton Bridge. 13th November 1942 – Burra Bra was requisitioned by the RAN. She wasn’t the only Manly ferry to go to war, both Binngarra and Kuring-gai went to New Guinea as hulks – and both managed to make it back again. Burra Bra however was vastly altered. This time last year we ran a series of very successful charity auctions on eBay raising several thousand dollars for the boat thanks to the generosity of our members. So, a year later we are going to do it again. Can you help with our fundraising efforts by donating items that you no longer need?

  • Attachment B
    Attachment B Eora Journey – Harbour Walk Historical Research Historical Research Materials Eora Journey – Harbour Walk March 2019 This collection of historical writings was produced by Dr Paul Irish of Coast History and Heritage for the Harbour Walk project between December 2018 and March 2019. The items were researched to address specific questions from the project curator, or to provide context and broad themes, and did not involve exhaustive research on any topic. Research was archival only, and did not include consultation with Aboriginal people who may hold knowledge about particular places or subjects. Many of the items included have recommendations about further potential sources of information. If specific projects are developed to implement the Harbour Walk, these and other sources are likely to provide further details that may be useful. A copy of these writings will also be deposited in the City of Sydney Archives, so that it can be accessed by future researchers.
