Richard (Dick) Clough RIP was for a long time an AGHS member, educator and landscape architect. The Institute of Landscape Architects, NSW have posted a video of his last interview with Adrian Pilton of Johnson Pilton Walker on 26th November 2014 (he passed away on the 4th December). You can see it online at: http://aila.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMjY3OTIzJnA9MSZ1PTUwNzg1MjQ1MCZsaT04Mzg4NDk5/index.html Colleeen Morris will be giving a very personal view of the contribution of Richard Clough to Australian garden history when she speaks at the AGM in August in her talk A love of landscape and libraries . In April Sydney members enjoyed a great wander sampling pleasures of Ashfield Park and Haberfield in the inner west. Great to see the park pulsing with Punjabi rhythms of a wedding in full swing! Subdivided estates became the garden suburb Haberfield retaining traces of early spaciousness and plantings. Some of the rarities of Yasmar’s shrubberies impressed and we were lucky to have Richard Stanton, grandson of Haberfield’s mentor and developer namesake and his daughter, landscape architect & AGHS member, Annabel Murray, along with us. The National Management Committee and our Branch are sponsoring publications to accompany two exciting 2016 exhibitions planned for Sydney. One is in late 2016 at the State Library of NSW, Garden Making in Australia , featuring the library’s rich collections and celebrating 200 years of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney . Richard Aitken is curating the exhibition and parallel publication. Equally anticipated is the early-mid 2016 exhibition at the Museum of Sydney and its publication that Colleen Morris is curating, of botanical artworks from The Florilegium at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney , celebrating this same bicentenary. These are works by invited botanical artists highlighting key plants from that garden’s collection, arranged to tell its history. Both exhibitions note the development of RBG Sydney, its influence on gardens, parks and landscapes. The branch will partner in garden-themed activities with Sydney Living Museums and the Library. We relish the opportunities to present great talks and guided tours for members and all who might be interested: block out your diaries. Recent NSW State Heritage Register listings and proposals include some gardens /landscapes: Lyons House (the sole Robin Boyd-designed house in NSW, with (equally rare) 1967 Bruce Mackenzie-designed landscape setting, in Port Hacking (Dolan’s Bay); Oran Park Estate (part), Oran Park Drive (former Cobbitty Road), Oran Park; St. Mary & St. Joseph Roman Catholic Cathedral group , Armidale (facing Central Park and including 2 Himalayan cedars with bishops buried beneath them and a large Bunya pine); Waratah Park , Duffys Forest, Warringah where TV show ' Skippy the Bush Kangaroo ' was set and filmed 1967-1969; Also proposed for state-listing is a view-shed: Brett Whiteley house and studio (and their harbour view/vista), Lavender Bay – the source of so many of his paintings and inspiration. The Branch maintains advocacy, recently writing: Objecting to rezoning the former 1810s farm of Varroville , Campbelltown – with owners negotiating with the Catholic Church to rezone for a new cemetery to completely surround Varroville house and garden – in an urban landscape of marble and granite; Objecting to the North Parramatta Urban Activation Precinct master plan, which will wrap Cumberland Hospital , the Norma Parker Centre, Kamballa , the Roman Catholic Orphan School and Parramatta Park’s north-east with towers to 30 storeys and scant detail on integrated management; Liaising with the National Trust (NSW) and others on a proposed ‘Chelsea Flower Show’ scale event in Wistaria Gardens or adjacent Parramatta Park ; Critiquing a master plan to grow University of Sydney Darlington & Camperdown campus; Opposing aspects of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney & Domain’s first Master Plan; Providing information on Paul Sorensen nursery site, Leura to a fledgling friends’ group; Encouraging heritage listing of a war memorial planting of cypress pines at Brunswick Heads. A recent discovery is Darlington micro-cafe near Sydney University, 28 Acres Cafe - named after the grant given Thomas Shepherd, our first nurseryman, and his Darling Nursery. On the corner of Boundary St. and Ivy Lane (local streets take plant names commemorating this nursery) - it’s well worth seeking out: www.twenty8acres.com.au This is my last Chair’s report (before the AGM) after a 3rd and an exceptional, sanctioned 4th term: 12 years all-up. It’s been a pleasure working with the 2 committees’ members with diverse skills and backgrounds. Great to help organise, influence and enjoy events of all kinds, all over mid & northern NSW. I’ve enjoyed putting out feelers to partner bodies and groups, giving talks on AGHS to university students, garden clubs, professional and other groups like the 20th Century Heritage Society of NSW. Fun to see members exploring country gardens (Hunter, Bathurst, Wentworth Falls), embarking on oral histories of key garden makers, starting a new heritage rose garden (open this spring!) at Saumarez , Armidale. Proud to enjoy a stand-out conference in Armidale in 2013 (thanks northerners!), to put some seed money to see good conservation projects happen, including the two 2016 exhibition publications to come. There’s more to do of course. I’ll remain a keen member but am relishing a bit of potential spare time. The committee is in strong, capable hands and I encourage you to get in touch: we are stronger and better with your feedback and ideas: don’t be shy! Ways of involving potential new members, widening our reach and message are welcome. Let us know. Thanks to all! Stuart Read.

    1 ASHET News October 2011 Volume 4, number 4 ASHET News October 2011 Newsletter of the Australian Society for History of Engineering and Technology The Dictionary of Sydney; take a look The Dictionary of Sydney project is an initiative of the Sydney City Council and the University of Sydney that was launched in 2006 with the help of an ARC grant to the University of Sydney of nearly $1 million. The idea is to present the history of the Sydney area on line in a series of contributed articles. It first went on line in 2009 and has been steadily expanding since then. Visit the website at www.dictionaryofsydney.org/ to see the scope of the project. The area covered is the Sydney area from the Hawkesbury to Port hacking and from the coast to the Blue Mountains. The item furthest from the centre of Sydney in the dictionary is probably the one contributed by Ian Jack on Mount Wilson in the Blue Mountains. The articles on the website are short and readable, well suited to browsing, and are conveniently indexed. There is a distinguished list of contributors. Anyone may offer The tourists a contribution, and many ASHET members would readily find an opportunity to make a contribution that would be a worthwhile addition to the dictionary. Melbourne has a similar project, The Encyclopedia of Melbourne, that you can visit at http://www.emelbourne.net.au/ Industries in New England By Ian Arthur In August this year, ASHET committee member Rob Renew led a study tour for ASHET members and others to the New England area.
