The factors are interacting; the fabric of the past is closely woven. In this attempt to understand the Shire's past, and thus its present landscapes and material culture, the subject has been divided into nine themes focusing on key aspects of the Shire's development, and these themes are interrelated in order to reflect the past holistically, as a "fabric".

Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era A B Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era i A State Library of NSW & Newcastle Art Gallery partnership exhibition Sponsored by Noble Resources International Australia Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era iii FOREWord The State Library of NSW is delighted to be presenting this exhibition, Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era, in partnership with Newcastle Art Gallery. The discovery of the Wallis album in a cupboard in Ontario, Canada, was part of the impetus for this stunning exhibition. The album brilliantly depicts the early European settlement of Newcastle, or Coal River as it was then known. This treasured heirloom is Captain James Wallis’ personal record of his time in NSW —clearly a high point in his career as a British colonial officer. What is so special about the album is that it includes original watercolours and drawings which show how interested he was in this new country and in its people. He made friends with some local Indigenous Awakabal people and painted them from life, adding their names. In addition to laying the foundations for the city and port which Newcastle became, Wallis was a patron of art and craft. He commissioned paintings and engravings by convict artists and had the incomparably wonderful Collector’s Chest made as a gift for Governor Macquarie. Returning to Newcastle for the first time in 195 years, thanks to support from Noble Resources International Australia and the partnership between the Newcastle Art Gallery and the State Library of NSW, the Macquarie Collector’s Chest is a marvellous centrepiece of this exhibition which has been expertly brought together by Emeritus Curator Elizabeth Ellis.

7 the Sullivan Family
77 TTHHEE SSUULLLLIIVVAANN FFAAMMIILLYY PATRICK SULLIVAN Patrick Sullivan was born in 1808 in the townland of Lisdeen, situated about two miles from Kilkee on the Kilrush to Kilkee Road in County Clare, Ireland. His parents were James Sullivan and Mary Kennedy. It is thought that Patrick was probably the eldest son. He had one brother, John, who died in 1827 aged 16, and four younger siblings. His father was a small farmer who died sometime before 1834. Patrick’s father James Sullivan, and Partners, were listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828 as holding (leasing) two acres of first quality land in Lisdeen. Nearby, John Sullivan also leased land – both first and second quality, totalling over two acres. It appears that James and John Sullivan split their father’s land upon his death - just over four acres, creating yet smaller holdings and further diminishing the amount of land available to support these poor families. The Sullivans would have been tenant farmers paying rent to Protestant landlords, some of whom were absentee owners. Potatoes were the main crop grown and turf cutting was another form of employment which helped support the families and was used to provide fuel for the winter months. Men, women and children took part in turf cutting. Cattle Fair Day at Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Image courtesy County Clare Library The Sullivans had relatives named McInerney living in the Lisdeen area although it is not known whether they were connected to the Sullivan or Kennedy side of the family. Land records around 1827-1828 show a number of Sullivans, McInerneys and Kennedys living on rateable land in townlands in the Kilfearagh Parish.
