    OBJECT BIOGRAPHY John Smith Murdoch's Drawing Instruments

    Landmarks: People and Places across Australia, a gallery bringing together over 1500 objects, explores the history of Australia since European settlement. OBJECT BIOGRAPHY John Smith Murdoch’s drawing instruments In 2009, the National Museum of Australia acquired a collection of drawing instruments including pens, compasses and rulers, housed in a leather-bound presentation case. On the front of the case is a silver plaque engraved with the following: ‘Presented to John S Murdoch, Architect / by a few friends on the occasion / of his leaving Elgin for Inverness. 18 Boxed set of drawing instruments November 1881.’ belonging to John Smith Murdoch, about 1881. Photo: Lannon Harley, National Museum of Australia. The case contains fifteen individual drawing instruments, which are stored in a moulded tray, lined with blue grosgrain and silk fabric, and a recessed storage compartment in the lid. The lid lining is stamped with ‘W H Harling, Mathematical Instrument Manufacturer, 40 Hatton Garden, London’ and the company’s crest. The recessed lid compartment contains a sector, protractor and parallel rule. In the 1600s there was a developed stylus that could draw a line with a specific width called a ruling pen. The stylus had two curved metal pieces, which were joined by a screw. Ink was trickled between the blades, from which it flowed evenly across the paper. The basic model was maintained for a long time, with minor modifications, until the 1930s when the German technical drawing pens came to the market. Many of the instruments were made by W H Harling, as indicated by the stamp. However, some of the instruments were made by J and W E Archbutt, Stanley and Elliot Brothers, suggesting that the case originally contained instruments from a variety of manufacturers or that Murdoch had replaced items over time.

It is of historical significance as the official residence of almost all Prime Ministers since its completion in 1927. The Lodge is also associated with the development of Canberra as the national capital, especially the phase which saw the relocation of Parliament to the new city. The Lodge provides a suite of reception rooms in a building and setting of appropriately refined and dignified design, which demonstrates the principal characteristics of an official residence suitable for the incumbent of that office. The building is a fine example of the Inter-War Georgian Revival style of architecture, with features specific to that style, such as symmetrical prismatic massing and refined Georgian detailing. It is also significant for its associations with the architects Oakley and Parkes, who played a key role in the design of Canberra's permanent housing in its initial phase.

    (Canberra), Unemployment Relief Committee and Other Documents

    The Great Depression in the FCT (Canberra), Unemployment Relief Committee and Other Documents Australian Archives A6270/1 E2/25/268 217 The Great Depression commenced in the Federal Capital Territory shortly after the opening of the Provisional Parliament House on 9th May, 1927. Reference to the threat of mass sackings is found in the report written in the June 1927 issue of the Canberra Community News by a representative of the White City Camp . The writer mentioned the rumour and how hard it was for men to Hump the Matilda in the winter months. By 1929 many men had lost their jobs. Some, particularly single men, left the territory in search of work. The unemployed who stayed had to ask for relief assistance and got behind in the rent. Two mess caterers who went broke at this time were Bill Mitchell of White City Camp and Mrs Stanley of Capitol Hill. On the next page is a letter written by Mrs Stanley in 1929 when she decided that she may save her business by turning it into a private boarding house. This measure failed and by the end of 1930 or early 1931 she was out of business. Bill Mitchell walked out of his business around the same time. Both she and Bill Mitchell provided meals for men who could not pay. Below: 1929 view from City Hill looking towards Capital Hill – On right is Albert Hall and left Westblock. Red Hill dominates the background. Photograph loaned by J Gibbs daughter of AE Gibbs, second Superintendent of Parks & Gardens. 218 219 In Canberra two camps were set up for unemployed men coming into the Territory in search of work -one for single men and the other for married.1 Single men were given a couple of weeks free accommodation and relief in the form of food packages before being moved on out of the territory.
