Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers.

On 27 February 2002 he launched the National Indigenous Times, a fortnightly, as a direct competitor to the Koori Mail. Carriage says many indigenous readers now feel the Koori Mail and some other indigenous media “haven’t done their homework” or “properly investigated” issues ranging from unaccountable governments to high indigenous school dropout rates and the indigenous child abuse inquiry recently set up by the West Australian Government. Todd Condie, editor of the Koori Mail, disagrees strongly with Carriage’s criticisms (Australian, Media liftout, 7 March 2002, p.10; see 17.63.5). 17.3 POSSIBILITY OF FAIRFAX NEWSPAPER BUREAUX MERGER The editor of The Age is refusing to rule out a possible merger of various sections run by the two major Fairfax newspapers The Age and Sydney Morning Herald .

  • Sidney Jeffryes and the Mythologising of Australian Antarctic History
    Beyond the Heroic Stereotype: Sidney Jeffryes and the Mythologising of Australian Antarctic History Elizabeth Leane, Ben Maddison and Kimberley Norris N 2010 THE AUSTRALIAN ANTARCTIC NAMES AND MEDALS COMMITTEE ANNOUNCED THAT it had named a glacier near Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica in honour I of Sidney Jeffryes. Jeffryes was a member of Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE), 1911-14, and the decision to attach his name to an Antarctic feature, coming just before the centenary of the AAE’s departure, reflected a gradual historical revisionism around the expedition occurring at this time. Seeking to ‘honour … historically significant figures … whose contributions [to the AAE] have not yet been recognised’, the Committee also attached the names of two other previously ignored members of the expedition to glaciers (AG, ‘Australian Antarctic Glaciers Named’). In 2017 this approach was extended to include the non-human, when 26 islands, rocks and reefs around the site of the AAE headquarters were named in honour of the ‘beloved dogs, which played a critical role in Australia’s heroic era of exploration’ (AG, ‘Mawson’s Huskies’). After nearly a century of focus on the ‘Great Man’ of Australian Antarctic history— Mawson—the criteria for significance were beginning to broaden. In the case of Jeffryes, however, the strain of moving beyond the stereotype was evident. Despite his achievements—he enabled radio communication to and from Antarctica, a world first—he has always been the most difficult of the AAE men to include within the Australian Antarctic honour roll. He was a ring-in, incorporated into the expedition halfway through, and only then by dint of circumstance; and © Australian Humanities Review 64 (May 2019).

  • THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL GROUND the Game's Missed Opportunity in Sydney
    THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL GROUND The Game's missed Opportunity in Sydney Grounds have always been a problem for Australian Football in Sydney. They were either lacking in adequate dimensions, their acquisition was too difficult or in the early times, the financial justification for enclosed (fenced) grounds was not an option. The sport was a 'Johnny Come Lately' into Sydney even given its failure only a handful of years before the first decade of the twentieth century, Rugby was firmly established as the main winter code. Soccer too, whilst never really a huge influence on the Sydney sporting scene, had it's roots soundly enough entrenched within society the community. In the years following the resurrection of the game in Sydney in 1903, there was continued pressure to play matches on enclosed grounds and later for the league to secure their own venue. There were a number of reasons for this: • With no fences, poor ground conditions and spectators forever encroaching onto fields made it difficult for play to proceed, particularly when crowd numbers at times, ran into thousands, suggesting too that nothing had changed in the 30 years since it’s first appearance in Sydney. • The professionalism of the game detracted when played on a park . (as opposed to an oval which had perimeter fencing) • When matches were played on enclosed ground, the number of which were very limited in Sydney, the ground hirer charged a considerable percentage of the gate takings . On 11 August 1909 for example, where an estimated 4,000 spectators attended Erskineville Oval to see NSW v Sth Melbourne, the Erskineville Oval Trust took 55% of the gate.
