This is the first issue of our fourth year of publication and it is hoped to continue in the same vein as past years, as always contributions from members are always welcome as are any suggestions for the improvement of the newsletter. 1992 was a most successful year for our group as detailed in the Area Administrators corner, our task in 1993 is to keep the momentum going and all members can contribute by encouraging new members to join, participate in some of the projects planned for the year and in general become as involved as you can in the operations of the group. It is amazing how an odd hour here and there allows major tasks to be completed quickly and efficiently. Last year a number of members got involved and the Beattie And Phillips Registers were copied in no time at all. Coming up is the entering of our card system onto computer, so if you have basic keyboard skills and can spare a few hours here and there please become involved, the more participants the quicker it will get done. our ongoing series in Marie's Memorabilia on local schools continues as does our Death Notices from the Hamilton Spectator and our hard working research officer Betty is back with her Warrnambool & District Historicals. Rosemary Archer recently attended a 'Street, family reunion and reports on proceedings. This issue is larger than planned due to the large amount of material to be included. I hope that is an omen for our operations in 1993. **************************** THE AREA ADMINISTRATORS CORNER Dear Members and Friends, Here we are into a new year, which I hope will be successful for all doing their family research. Last year saw the membership of our Group increase to 46 members and this is very pleasing, especially as our common interest makes for new and lasting friendships. Last year we had a Beginners Class which proved to be popular and it is hoped to hold another. If there is interest more advanced classes could be held. Our Guest Speakers last year spoke on different aspects of Genealogy and were well received by those present. Much interest was shown in our members nights. Flagstaff Hill Library is continuing to be manned by our volunteers. If you find that you have a couple of hours to spare please contact Rosemary Archer who will put your name on the roster. By helping them we are indirectly helping ourselves. Fund raising was again successful. This included a Pie Drive, and a Christmas Cake, made and donated by Robin Gray. Raffle was drawn at the end of year breakup at Rafferty's. The winner was Larry Burns, father of member Laurence Burns. There was much interest shown in the Seminar which is now to be an Annual event. Thanks must go to Melbourne Members who gave up their time to attend. Betty Inwood should also be thanked for her interest in our group. Some good news! The Fire Brigade Visitor's Book turned up in January. Page Three AREA ADMINISTRATORS CORNER (Cont) The highlight of the year would have to be the copying of the Beattie and Phillips Burial Books. I was interviewed by Margaret Good on 3WAY FM, subject of course being Genealogy, and as Margaret has researched her families it was just like two old girls having a good old gossip. I enjoyed the half hour..

Settling Scores: Albert Namatjira’s Legacy Aboriginal Australian artist Albert Namatjira resists identification. Was Namatjira a pro- duct of Australia’s assimilation, a “mimic man” who adopted a Western referential frame, or was his trajectory the product of a “split identity,” as alleged during his lifetime? Can Namatjira’s watercolours be viewed as a critique of Eurocentrism? This article seeks to revisit the nature of Namatjira’s legacy in light of the recent retrocession of the artist’s copyright. This article examines Albert Namatjira’s legacy following the retrocession of the artist’s copyright in October 2017. The story of Namatjira (1902-1959) is emblematic on several grounds. One of the first Aboriginal artists to paint in the Western medium, Namatjira grew up in a Lutheran mission on Arrernte land in Central Australia. He also became one of the first Aborigines to be granted Australian citizenship, though in practice, “all it meant was that he was no longer subject to the rules and regulations that so-called full-bloods had to observe and thus, from one point of view, [it] was less an invitation to join white Australia than an excision from his own people” (Edmond ch.

  • Vincent Namatjira
    1 Vincent Namatjira Vincent Namatjira, Western Arrernte people, was born in 1983, Alice Springs, Northern Territory. He spent most of his childhood in Perth and returned to Hermannsburg after he finished high school. It was not until he returned to Hermannsburg that Vincent learnt about his famous great-grandfather, Albert Namatjira and family of renowned artists. Vincent would watch his aunty, Eileen Namatjira, make pots in the Hermannsburg ceramic studio. Vincent Namatjira began painting with his wife at Iwantja Arts, in the Indulkana Community, Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in the north-west of South Australia. With the help of his wife he first started painting in a traditional dot painting style and after a few years he felt confident to paint a portrait of his great-grandfather Albert Namatjira. Vincent has continued to develop his distinctive figurative Vincent Namatjira with his winning work Close Contact, 2019 photo: Nat Rogers style, expressively painting portraits of politicians, historical figures and members of his family and community. 2 "Art has given me joy, prosperity and it's given me power also, because with a paint brush you can do anything."

This community was established in 1838 supported by the South Australia Company, and in particular George Fife Angas. The mission functioned as a refuge for Aboriginal people during the violent frontier conflict that was a feature of early pastoral settlement in central Australia. The Lutheran missionaries were independent and outspoken, playing a key role in attempting to mediate conflict between pastoralists, the police and Aboriginal people, and speaking publicly about the violence, sparking heated national debate.

  • 1 Art Connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to Culture
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. Art connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to culture, heritage and land, and to the past, present and future. The art world in Australia is made richer by the important historical and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, and the Archibald Prize provides the perfect opportunity to reflect on these contributions and celebrate these artists’ success and the beauty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Did you know…? Emily Kame Kngwarreye’s art and life were inseparable, her cultural connections to community and Country present in all of her work. Without formal training, Emily became one of Australia’s most celebrated artists.1 Australia boasts the oldest ever depiction of a human face, with over 70 faces found across the Murujuga Peninsula from between 25,000 and 35,000 years ago. This is also the site of the world’s largest gallery with approximately 1,000,000 engravings over 300 sq kilometres.2 The emergence of ‘dot’ paintings by Aboriginal men from the western deserts of Central Australia has been called the ‘greatest art movement of the twentieth century’.3 In 2012 Tony Albert became the first Indigenous Australian to be appointed as official war artist and was deployed to one of the Army’s special Regional Surveillance Units North West Mobile Force. His artworks honour the dedication and contribution of Indigenous Australians
