On behalf of the Museums Board of Victoria, I am delighted to present the 2003/04 Annual Report detailing Museum Victoria’ s operations and achievements over the last twelve months. Once again Museum Victoria has performed beyond expectations, with the reduced entrance fees enabling more people from Victoria and beyond to access the Museum’s venues and be educated and entertained by the collections. We are delighted that this year the State’s vast and priceless collection was explored by more visitors than ever before. In March 2004, Museum Victoria celebrated 150 years of collections, research and exhibitions, with celebrations continuing throughout the calendar year. This period of celebration provided us with a wonderful opportunity to increase the number of dynamic exhibitions at the Museum Victoria venues and demonstrate the breadth and richness of the collections in our care. Particular highlights included the opening of Bugs Alive!, which was conceived, designed and developed by Museum staff and has been a great success since its March opening, and Treasures, a series of exhibitions held across all three Museum Victoria venues showcasing some of the hidden treasures within the Museums’ storage collections.

BAAG is a recognised industry leader and operates an innovative art, garden and environmental business that has become an integral part of the local community over its 50-year history on the site. The business has been in the current family ownership for 37 years, with a committed and capable team. BAAG is an integral part of the community and a recognised asset that takes much pride in its contribution to the community generally and through its cultural and environmental actions. The current EES identifies the land that BAAG operates from as being required for the Manningham Road Construction Compound and therefore BAAG faces acquisition and likely closure of the business. In addition to the loss of jobs, the substantial contribution BAAG makes to sustainable gardening, environmental enhancement and accessible, community focused art would be lost.

  • 8. Conclusions
    8. Conclusions 8.1 Introduction This chapter outlines the conclusions developed from the research results, discusses the implication of the findings and places them in the current framework of Australian rock art studies. The significance of this research to archaeological theory and to the practice of rock art studies is discussed. Issues that remain unresolved are identified and directions for future research are suggested. The results of the broader Change and Continuity research project are used to support an inclusive gendering analysis of the northwest Kimberley rock art. I have established that there are valid iconographic keys for gendering a portion of the anthropomorphic rock art figures devoid of sexual characteristics. The three periods, IIAP, Gwion and Wanjina all differ in this regard and will be discussed separately. Features identified as relevant are examined and those that have proved to be unreliable for sexing purposes are briefly discussed and discarded. A changing emphasis on anthropomorphic motifs in the rock art assemblage supports cultural change evident in the archaeological record. The successive art periods and the sexual focus related to human figures shows that the culture in the northwest Kimberley was not static through time. Rock art depictions of animal motifs and artefact representation offer a data set from which to develop a broader understanding of the demographic, economic and social structures. The relative stylistic sequence provides a comparative framework to identify trends associated with gendered roles in the culture through time. This has been achieved through analysis of the few sexed figures available in the data set complemented by a comparison with the unsexed figures with gendering features identified as accurate iconographic keys.
