Having started in 1938 as the New England University College of the University of TSydney, it gained autonomy in 1954. At that stage it was still a very small institution that provided a vibrant living and learning community of staff and students that we still cherish and attempt to maintain. UNE gained autonomy under the condition that it would provide distance education, initially to teachers in NSW. In 2005, the University is a major provider of distance education nationally, and we have moved over time from exclusive reliance on print-based material to a blend of various media, including extensive use of the Internet. We intend to further improve our distance education offerings over the next few years, and this year conducted a review of our distance education activities, with a view towards maintaining and increasing our lead as one of Australia’s premier distance education providers. Our technology infrastructure has improved vastly over the past few years, with excellent broadband provisions funded by the Federal Government, and heavy investment by the University in new computer systems for finance, research and student administration. The challenge to modernise our infrastructure, and to enable staff, students and the community to interact with the University electronically, is a costly but inevitable one that we are meeting. 2005 was another outstanding year for research at UNE. The excitement surrounding the discovery and description of a new human species, Homo floresiensis, by UNE professors Mike Morwood and Peter Brown, has continued throughout the year. UNE has received extensive TV, newspaper and Web exposure, including articles in National Geographic and Nature magazines. 4 The University of New England Other important research findings this excellence in teaching and who support Excellence in Research acknowledge year included the discovery of evidence their staff to improve student learning those who have contributed at an of recent practice of the Manichaean outcomes”.

  • Chapter Seven
    183 CHAPTER SEVEN SHAPING NEW WORLDS WITH OLD IMAGES When John Richardson bought John Moores store and flour mill and moved to Armidale in 1872, he brought with him his wife, twenty years younger than he, and a young family consisting of seven surviving children. His eldest son, Robert, was 22 years of age. Although other sons would choose to join their father in his retailing business, Robert turned to writing childrens books, most of which were published in London and Edinburgh where he lived through the 1880s and early 1890s. His career was blighted by a lack of talent. Nonetheless an independent income kept that harsh reality at bay. But he was not so lacking in ability that he failed to see his own limitations. By the time he wrote Ad Musam, a poem which served as his obituary in the Bulletin, he was resigned to his critics opinions and addressed the Greek muse of poetry somewhat bitterly: Yet others get the gift and win thy love; They get the gift while I but stand and wait; They enter calmly through the enchanted gate That leads unto the mystic Dellian hill . And I but linger in the valleys chill, With timid groping feet, and as I pass Gather some withering leaves of wayside grass, And hear through the hushed twilight faintly falling The voices of my happier brothers calling, And watch afar with aching, dazzled eyes, Clear peaks that climb into the lucent skies By shining paths my feet will neer surprise. Robert Richardson died of gastric catarrh in Armidale in 1901 aged fifty.

  • A SHORT HISTORY of the ARMIDALE SCHOOL
    A SHORT HISTORY of THE ARMIDALE SCHOOL D L (Jim) Graham January, 2008 FOREWORD The genesis of this book was a chance remark by the Headmaster, Murray Guest, about the need for a simple and concise history of the School for new boys and other interested people. When I approached Jim Graham, the author of A School of Their Own (the first and only comprehensive history of TAS), he enthusiastically agreed with the idea. This book is the result; I was privileged to assist Jim with the text and editing. Acknowledgement is given to Andrew Constable, a duty master at TAS in the 1980s, and the members of the then History Committee who produced The Armidale School - An Introduction in 1987. Some material from that publication has been used in the preparation of this book. We also thank Ian Johnstone for his valuable assistance. This is a pilot edition and any suggestions or corrections would be welcome. It is hoped to add illustrations at a later date. David Connah January, 2008 FURTHER INFORMATION For further information on the history of the School, the following sources are invaluable: A School of their Own: The History of The Armidale School, by Jim Graham, published in 1994 and The Armidale School Register 1894-1993, compiled by Belinda Anstock, also published in 1994. Past copies of The Armidalian and Binghi are very useful. Many editions of The Armidalian are reproduced on the School's comprehensive website (www.as.edu.au) which is also well worth searching for other information about TAS. AUTHOR'S NOTE I wish to express my thanks to David Connah and his wife Barbie for their invaluable contribution in the preparation of this Short History.

  • National Parks and Sand Mining
    Paul Stephen Sattler OAM M.Nat.Res.; B.App.Sc.(Rur.Tech.) Paul has a lifetime of professional experience in nature conservation. He was the principal architect in doubling Queensland’s National Park estate in the 1990s whilst working with the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service (QNPWS). Paul initiated and guided the comprehensive description of Queensland’s bioregional ecosystems and the assessment of their status, a vital planning tool for conservation and natural resource management. He was directly involved in the development of a range of State and national conservation policies and has a particular interest in rangeland conservation and sustainable management. After leaving the QNPWS, Paul formed his own specialised eco-consultancy business and was principal author of the National Land and Water Resources Audit’s terrestrial biodiversity assessment of Australia, the first detailed assessment of biodiversity at a range of scales nationally. He grew up in a beekeeping family and learnt a practical appreciation of nature and is now once again, an apiarist. Having completed a degree in Applied Science (Rural Technology) in 1971 at the University of Queensland, Gatton College, he went on to gain a Masters degree in Natural Resources at the University of New England, Armidale. Paul has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to biodiversity conservation. Dedication To my daughters, Seola Anne and Melita Louise.

  • The Marzetti Family
    The Marzetti Family First Generation 1. Jacques Marzette was born in 1729 in Diijon, France The genealogy information for the Marzetti Family tree has been provided through the intrepid work of Gaye Dunn who holds a very extensive database of this Family. The narrative that appears throughout the early Marzetti's is drawn from a paper written in 1959 by Edgar Percy Marzetti "The Marzettis 1730 -1900". Our earliest known Marzetti was of humble origins, his trade being that of a carpenter. When first heard of he lived in Dijon in the East of France. His exact date of birth is unknown (now established) but is not likely to have been later than 1730. Obviously, of Italian origin, his christian name of Jacques suggests his family may have settled in Dijon for one or more generations. Before I proceed with an account of such meagre facts regarding Jacques' life and his immediate descendants, I must make a short digression to evoke a possible background of the Marzetti family. Proper name in Italy date from about 1000 A.D. and there has always been a tradition that the family originated in Milan. It is quite an uncommon name, certainly not a multiple one. Investigations from Archives in Milan revealed that in 1713 a Guiseppi Marzetti and an Antonio Bolano were partners as silk merchants in that city. On 15 April, 1738 Don Guiseppi pays the dowry of his daughter Rosa, the wife of Jurist-Consultant Carlo Francisco Ferri. There is another reference to Guiseppi and Antonio Bolano regarding a transaction between them and the Collegiate Body of the Oblates of San Sepulcro on 6 August, 1739, probably in connection with their business.

  • NEW ENGLAND TABLELAND and SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND Links and Contrasts in Architectural Styles by Jean Stewart the Historical Links Are Well Known and Well Documented
    207 NEW ENGLAND TABLELAND AND SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND Links and Contrasts in Architectural Styles by Jean Stewart The historical links are well known and well documented. There are the paths of explorers, particularly Oxley who went first through New England and then later explored the Brisbane River, and Cunningham whose joiu-ney through north-western New South Wales near Warialda led him to the mountain areas at the edges of the Darling Downs. They were followed by the squatters and pastoralists who followed the traUs from the Hunter VaUey, through the New England Tablelands to the Darling Downs and beyond, establishing the frontier society. Some established a chain of stations along the way, the so-called "string of pearls", and moved their sheep and cattle regularly along the stock routes as the seasons dictated. Some graziers still own property in both northern New South Wales and Queensland, carrying out the modern equivalent of the former style of management. Other links include the movement of people, especially those from a pastoral background in New England who became prominent in Queensland politics, such as M.H. Marsh, Gilbert Fisher, Arthur Hodgson, R.R. Mackenzie, Albert Norton and Albert Palmer. The surveyor J.J. Galloway, author of the town plan of Armidale, became Head of the Survey Office at Moreton Bay and established a parliamentary career. The movement was not just in one direction. Many indentured German farmworkers found their way from Brisbane to New England. Among those to found a strong and significant dynasty were the Sommerlads of Tenterfield. Since the 1870s Armidale has had a strong pull as an educational centre.

    ARCHITECTURE Lest We Forget George Tibbits Gary Deirmendjian (ed.) SYDNEY SANDSTONE Craftsman House, $88hb, 141pp, 1 877004 09 X Peter Reynolds, Lesley Muir and Joy Hughes JOHN HORBURY HUNT: RADICAL ARCHITECT 1838–1904 Historic Houses Trust of NSW, $54.95pb, 166pp, 0 949753 97 1 HE CAMERA HAS BEEN with architecture since the first shot. It simulates the Eye of God, enabling us to Tsee what we might otherwise miss. In the folklore of the architectural profession, God is in even the most infinitesimal detail. This places a fearful responsibility on the architect and builder. The camera, with its powerful lens, zooms in on a building. It is impossible to imagine that anyone looking at the cover of Sydney Sandstone might think of damaging such a small but imaginative detail of fine craftsmanship. And so the camera, with quiet hubris and artistic delight, wins us even before the book is opened on its ‘act of pure indulgence … offered in the name of those who appreciate our sandstone works, who preach their value and who endeavour to protect them for generations to come’. In a different but equally compelling way, the camera is the eye through which we are able to appreciate the great Sydney-based architect John Horbury Hunt (1838–1904), in whose memory both an exhibition (at the Museum of Sydney, August to December 2002) and this fine book pay homage. Though some of his buildings still stand, one, captured with fuzzy figures and unmade grounds, Booloominbah of the 1880s, now the administrative offices of the University of New England at Armidale, is like a becalmed architectural ghost glimpsed in the mist of time past.
