City Continues Fight for Independence Underground Power Project Nears Issue No. 166 • April 2013 Keeping the community i nformed City continues fight for independence t its March meeting, council rejected the report prepared on behalf of the group of A twenty metropolitan local governments (the G20) that recommends consolidating the seven western suburbs local governments into one. The City of Subiaco does not support a reduction of local governments to any specific number and has expressed a strong desire for the city to remain an independent and autonomous local government. The city will continue to advocate for voluntary amalgamations, through the poll provisions in the Dadour Amendment, to ensure the community is able to decide on the structure of local government. If forced amalgamations were to occur, council endorsed a proposal to reduce the number of local governments in the western suburbs from seven to three, based on the centres of Subiaco, Claremont and Cambridge. This achieves the city’s aim of remaining an independent local government, while still meeting the aims of the state government in reducing the number of local governments in the metropolitan area. For the latest information on local government amalgamations, visit the ‘local government reform’ page on the city’s website www.subiaco.wa.gov.au Underground power project nears completion ouncil recently decided to allocate $4.5 million to complete the C undergrounding of power to homes between Onslow and Aberdare roads in Shenton Park. Works are expected to take place towards the end of the 2012–13 financial year and, once complete, it will mean all streets in the City of Subiaco will have underground power. Undergrounding of power lines improves the continuity and reliability of power supply and assists in avoiding power outages caused by trees, storms and overload. It also provides additional benefits such as opportunities for streetscape improvements, by removing the visual impact and street tree constraints that powerlines impose. The city is unique in delivering underground power at no direct cost to ratepayers, instead funding it through loans.

  • 'My Country's Heart Is in the Market Place':1
    ‘My country’s heart is in the market place’: 1 Tom Stannage interviewed by Peter Read TIFFANY SHELLAM AND JOANNA SASSOON ollective memories within small communities have been shaped over generations to winnow out stories that they would rather C silence. Through this process communities come to a consensus about a version of the past with which they can comfortably live. These agreed historical stories, which are shaped by social and community forces, show the strength of the warp and weft which interweaves past and present. Yet it is important to understand how a community comes to shape these agreed historical stories. Tom Stannage was one among many historians in the 1970s uncovering histories of Australia which were to challenge national narratives and community memories. In 1971, Tom returned to Western Australia after writing his PhD in Cambridge with the passion to write Public History Review Vol 20 (2013): 94–103 © UTSePress and the authors ISSN: 1833-4989 Public History Review | Shellam & Sassoon urban history and an understanding that in order to do so, he needed an emotional engagement with place. What he had yet to realize was the power of community memories in Western Australia to shape and preserve ideas about their place. As part of his research on the history of Perth, Tom saw how the written histories of Western Australia had been shaped by community mythologies – in particular that of the rural pioneer. He identified the consensus or ‘gentry tradition’ in Western Australian writing and named those he saw as its chief purveyors – the historian and State Librarian Dr James Skyes Battye and Professors Frank Crowley and Geoffrey Bolton.

Our aim is to rescue the immense work of this illustrious Galician man who settled in Australia and to shed some light on a man of his time, who was against his time but also well above Tof the time when he lived. An individual who carried out pioneering work that established a dialogue with a particular place in faraway Oceania in which he tried to find a synthesis between the Western civilisation he carried with him and a different, allegedly inferior Aboriginal culture he found upon his arrival in Australia. Rosendo Salvado was not, however, very well-known in Galicia. But from 1999 his figure was gradually integrated into Galician culture thanks to several exhibitions, conferences and publications that showed the special dimensions of his personality, marked by cultural pluralism that was innovative for his day. He demonstrated a spirit of understanding of different cultures, of the relationships between the Western world and the Aboriginal world, which he discovered from 1845 on, after his first trip to New Norcia.

We had just received our offers for a place within the Faculty of Arts. Around the walls were clustered academics from the humanities and social sciences, and on that night we were to consider the various disciplines we could pursue in our degrees. This was the first time that I met Tom Stannage, and even now I remember it. He delivered a welcome address from the stage. He told us to be bold, do great things, have fun and change the world.

  • City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework
    CITY OF SUBIACO THEMATIC HISTORY AND FRAMEWORK Prepared for the City of Subiaco KRISTY BIZZACA February 2014 THEMATIC HISTORY & FRAMEWORK OF SUBIACO ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, the City of Subiaco determined to undertake a Thematic History that would become the guiding document used to provide a Framework for understanding the evolution of the City’s cultural landscape in order to review the City’s Local Government Inventory. The consultant, Kristy Bizzaca, was commissioned in March 2012 to undertake this work. This Thematic History examines Subiaco's growth from pre-history, through to the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829 and up to the present day (2014) for the purposes of creating an overview of the main periods of development in the City. The history has been divided into eight periods with each chapter/section marking an important stage in the progress of Subiaco. In addition to providing a summary of local events and activities during these years, key factors, stories, themes and characteristics have been determined for each context. The first section identifies Aboriginal Histories of the area such as the water ways and gathering places of pre-history through to the dispossession, assimilation, institutionalisation and, more recently, reconciliation of the Post European History Period. The Colonial Period (1829 - 1870s) is the basis of the second section. It traces the early history of the place following the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829, encompassing the original land grants, the roads and railway routes that stimulated settlement and the establishment of the Benedictine Community at 'New Subiaco' in the 1850s.

  • Western Australian History – the Next Assignments Address to the History Council of Western Australia
    HISTORICAL PRACTICE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY – THE NEXT ASSIGNMENTS ADDRESS TO THE HISTORY COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Geoffrey Bolton, Emeritus Professor of History and Chancellor of Murdoch University Correspondence to Geoffrey Bolton: [email protected] When Pope Alexander VI in 1494 divided the world between Portuguese and Spanish spheres of influence he can never have imagined that he was creating Western Australia. By placing the dividing line of longitude at a point which would give Brazil to Portugal he inadvertently ensured that the western third of the then unknown Australian continent would lie in the Portuguese zone while the rest went to Spain. Three centuries later when the British asserted sovereignty over Australia they at first laid claim only to the former Spanish sphere of influence, at first east of longitude 135 and subsequently as far as the ‘Pope’s line’ at longitude 129 degrees. It has been suggested that the failure to annex Western Australia was due to respect for the British East India Company, who could be seen as inheriting the shadowy Portuguese entitlement in the Indian Ocean region. When in 1826 Governor Darling eventually sent a garrison to show the flag at King Georges Sound, now the site of Albany, the East India Company’s authority had waned and it seemed necessary to discourage foreign powers from laying claim to Western Australia. Soon afterwards Captain James Stirling established the Swan River Colony and Western Australia was defined as all that part of the continent lying west of longitude 129 east. For much of its length this boundary line has some justification, as the Nullarbor Plain and the Great Sandy Desert are geographic features which might well foster a sense of separateness; however there is little logic in dividing the Kimberley district from the western part of the Northern Territory.

  • Opening a Window Into the Past with Historical Fiction
    MURDOCH UNIVERSITY Opening a Window into the Past with Historical Fiction NADIA-LISA KING BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH HONOURS IN ENGLISH AND CREATIVE WRITING 2019 King i Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains, as its main content, work that has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary educational institution, including Murdoch. Full name: Nadia-Lisa King Student number: 19117602 Date: 23rd October 2019 King ii Abstract A fundamental challenge facing historical fiction writers is how to provide a ‘real’ window into the past. This thesis explores how writers use the literary devices of point of view and setting to create ‘true’ accounts of historical events. Historical fiction balances the tension between the creation of fiction to entertain and the need for historical accuracy. I argue that by focusing on the minutiae or specific details of setting, readers can be transported to the time and place of the story and a window into the past can be opened. The writer uses point of view to position the telling of the story offering a relationship with the intended reader. The lens, or point of view, used to tell a story, is a mechanism which can bring an historical event into sharper focus for the reader giving them a perspective, albeit a fictionalised one, into history. The literary devices of setting and point of view are explicated in this discussion through my own creative writing resulting in a series of vignettes imaginatively depicting the events leading up to and including the execution of Martha Rendell, the last and only woman hanged at Fremantle Prison in Western Australia.

Through an examination of the newspapers of the day – which are the only known primary material concerning those events – it will be established that the people of Western Australia were not wedded to a particular code before the 1880s. This changed in 1882 when the first clubs were formed and the Rugby Union rules were adopted.

  • Drought, Mud, Filth, and Flood: Water Crises in Australian Cities, 1880S–2010S
    Drought, Mud, Filth, and Flood: Water Crises in Australian Cities, 1880s–2010s In this exhibition, we invite visitors to consider the historical relationship of “water crises” of various kinds to the development of urban water systems, through the experience of the driest inhabited continent on earth, Australia. We have chosen a range of different departures from water-related business as usual—from shortage to flood, pollution to drainage—in the five mainland Australian state capitals from the late nineteenth century to the present. The part of this exhibition devoted to each city focuses thematically on just one or two kinds of crisis, while the timeline covers a wider range of events in each place. Curated by A. Gaynor, M.

    LETTERS FROM THE WEST 1975-1976 David Carment 1 Copyright David Carment 2015 First published in 2015 by David Carment, 11 Fairfax Road, Mosman NSW 2088, Australia, email [email protected], telephone 0299699103, http://www.dcarment.com ISBN: 978-0-646-94538-5 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Unless otherwise indicated all images belong to the author. 2 CONTENTS PREFACE 4 1975 7 1976 57 EPILOGUE 94 INDEX OF NAMES 95 3 PREFACE This is an edited collection of the letters I wrote to my parents while I worked in the Department of History at The University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth between February 1975 and December 1976.1 It was my first full-time academic appointment. Although I was only in the job for less than two years, it and my residence in Currie Hall at the university significantly shaped my later life. The letters were usually hastily written, were far from comprehensive in describing my activities and now often seem clumsy and naïve. They provide, however, a young historian’s impressions of Australian academic life, an immigrant’s responses to Western Australia and a flavour of cultural, social and political developments during the mid 1970s. I was born in Sydney in 1949 into a middle class family of mainly Scottish ancestry. I graduated as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) with Honours in History at The University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 1972 and as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in History at The Australian National University (ANU) in 1975. My PhD thesis was on the Australian non-Labor federal politician Sir Littleton Groom (1867- 1936).
