  • Agnes Macready and Bella Guerin
    Agnes Macready Born in 1855 at Rathfriland, County Down, Agnes Macready was the eldest of five children of Presbyterian minister, Reverend Henry Macready, and his wife Jane. In 1867, when Agnes was 12, the family emigrated to Australia. As an adult, Agnes converted to Catholicism, a move described by the Methodist newspaper in these terms: ‘[S]he wandered from green pastures of truth into the enchanted ground of Popery, and is ardent as perverts usually are’. A manifestation of her alleged perverted ardour for popery was her contribution from 1898 of literary sketches and verse to the Sydney Irish-Catholic newspaper the Catholic Press for whom she wrote under the name ‘Arrah Luen’. In 1880 Agnes had commenced training as a nurse at Sydney’s Prince Alfred Hospital, after which she worked at Melbourne Hospital before being appointed matron of Bowral Hospital in New South Wales. When war broke out in South Africa in 1899 Macready volunteered to serve as a nurse. But her request was denied. Undeterred, she paid her own passage to Durban and was the first nurse from Australia to arrive there. But not only was she the first Australian nurse at the Boer War, she also became Australia’s first-ever female war correspondent. Having been commissioned by the Catholic Press to send back reports on the war, she wrote that she saw the war ‘with a woman’s eyes’. Women war correspondents would later challenge the idea that they should cover war only from the so-called ‘woman’s angle’. But, unlike her male counterparts, Agnes was not permitted to visit the front.

  • Polio Australia Incorporated Representing Polio Survivors Throughout Australia
    Polio Australia Incorporated Representing polio survivors throughout Australia www.polioaustralia.org.au Reflections October 2013 Once again, October’s Polio Awareness Month has come and gone and, as always, the publicity surrounding it has resulted in numerous polio survivors contacting Polio Australia seeking information about their symptoms and the late effects of polio. It’s always interesting when speaking with others, how many know someone who had polio, yet how ‘invisible’ they are in the community. Of course, this has been a necessary survival tactic used by many since they ‘recovered’ from both the virus and the often traumatic rehabilitation. Being ‘normal’ and just ‘getting on with it’ were very effective tools for achieving success in a world where any form of weakness and/or disability was often judged negatively. Thankfully, this attitude is slowly changing for the better. However, we can often be our own worst enemy by continuing to battle on and not asking for support. After all, what can be done about it anyway? Sound familiar? Well, the more we ‘come out‘ and make our voices heard and presence felt, the more forthcoming the appropriate support will be. Let’s all work on revealing ourselves within our respective communities, and encouraging our still ‘hidden’ brethren to sign up to the Australian Polio Register to increase the numbers of polio survivors we KNOW are out there! “Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.” ~ Ric Ocasek In this e-Bulletin Ramifications of Polio Increase The ‘Then and Now’ of Life With Polio Special Purpose Post Polio Fund NDIS Prices Services ‘much too low’ Vale Janet Powell AM Disability Reform The Polio Day Cookbook Polio This Week It’s Not About The Polio Polio Around the World Newcastle Doctor Examining Ramifications of Polio Increase Source: ABC News - 4 November 2013 A Newcastle public health professor says Australia is in a good position to thwart possible importations of the deadly polio disease as it resurges overseas.

    WAYNE MCGREGOR | RANDOM DANCE FEBRUARY 13, 2014 OZ SUPPORTS THE CREATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING AND VISUAL ART WORKS BY LEADING ARTISTS WHOSE CONTRIBUTION INFLUENCES THE ADVANCEMENT OF THEIR FIELD. ADVISORY BOARD Amy Atkinson Karen Elson Jill Robinson Anne Brown Karen Hayes Patterson Sims Libby Callaway Gavin Ivester Mike Smith Chase Cole Keith Meacham Ronnie Steine Jen Cole Ellen Meyer Joseph Sulkowski Stephanie Conner Dave Pittman Stacy Widelitz Gavin Duke Paul Polycarpou Betsy Wills Kristy Edmunds Anne Pope Mel Ziegler A MESSAGE FROM OZ Welcome and thank you for joining us for our first presentation as a new destination for contemporary performing and visual arts in Nashville. By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.

  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc November-December 2015 ISSUE 41 ISSN 2203-4366 The Hydro Majestic Hotel The iconic hotel was created by Mark Foy the Sydney businessman, sportsman and playboy, in 1904. The initial complex comprised three earlier buildings: The single storey country retreat of WH Hargraves, son of Edward Hargraves of gold discovery fame. This home had been built in two stages, a Victorian style cottage, followed by a two storey extension which became the Delmonte Hallway. Hargraves land also included 9km of bush walking tracks, available to the public. Foy leased the property in 1902 and purchased it in 1903. The existing hotel called the Belgravia, opened in 1891 by Mr & Mrs Ellis. Cottage owned by local solicitor Alfred Tucker. In 1904 Mark Foy created his hydropathic establishment, opening the facility on 4th July to attract American visitors, advertising cures for nervous, alimentary, respiratory and circulatory ailments, but did not include sufferers of infectious diseases and mental illness. 1 HERITAGE November-December 2015 He believed that the land contained mineral springs, although this was probably in error, as Foy was importing mineral water from Germany. The town was then known as Medlow, and Foy petitioned the NSW Government to change the name to Medlow Bath. Belgravia Hargraves House Tucker cottage Hydro Majestic 1904 - Casino A striking prefabricated casino was brought in from Chicago, and erected between Hargravia and Belgravia with the picture gallery joining the buildings together. The dome was built to Foy’s specifications and dismantled for shipping. Guests enjoyed the magnificent view over the Megalong Valley and a resident Swiss doctor, George Baur, attended to their ailments.
