The introduction of these reluctant immigrants caused much debate and controversy amongst the residents, who feared that their free colony would be forever tainted by the convict class. Whilst convict transport lasted only 18 years, the legacy of this period is embedded in the streets of the city and the folklore of the State.

Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

  • Concrete: a Western Australian Tradition
    Concrete: A Western Australian tradition Andrew Murray University of Melbourne Abstract In 1961, The Hale School Memorial Hall was completed in Perth, Western Australia. While Jennifer Taylor credits the building with the introduction of béton brut into Australia she also described the building as a “strangely isolated example”, not joined by a similar work until the completion of the Social Sciences Building at Flinders University, Adelaide in 1969. Yet in the period between these two buildings Australia saw a wide range of béton brut experiments carried out which laid the ground work for the materials widespread acceptance in the 1970s. This paper contends that rather than being an isolated example the Hale School Memorial Hall spurred on a wave of béton brut buildings in Western Australia throughout the 1960s, constituting what could be considered a regional tradition. Ian Molyneux has previously identified the key role that concrete played in Western Australia during this period, suggesting that it is the use of concrete, particularly off- form concrete, which constitutes the most visible and significant contribution that Western Australia made to contemporary Australian architecture. However, to date this contribution has received little scholarly attention. This paper then sets out to chart a nascent history of béton brut buildings in the 1960s in Western Australia. It examines a decade of material and formal experimentation looking particularly at the key role that recent graduates, publications, and the construction industry played in the formation of this tradition. 378 Introduction Jennifer Taylor wrote in Australian Architecture since 1960 on the introduction of béton brut concrete into Australia.

  • The Legend of Moondyne Joe These Notes to Accompany the Legend of Moondyne Joe Provide Suggestions for Classroom Activities Base
    The Legend of Moondyne Joe These notes to accompany The Legend of Moondyne Joe provide suggestions for classroom activities based on or linked to the book's text and illustrations and highlight points for discussion. Synopsis Not known for gunfights or robbing banks, it was the convict bushranger Moondyne Joe’s amazing ability to escape every time he was placed behind bars that won him fame and the affection of the early settlers. Wearing a kangaroo-skin cape and possum-skin slippers, he found freedom in the wooded valleys and winding creeks at Moondyne Hills. Joe was harmless, except possibly to a few settlers whose horses had a ‘mysterious’ way of straying. When blamed for the disappearance of a farmer’s prize stallion the colonial authorities were soon to find out that there wasn’t a jail that could hold Joe! On Writing “The Legend of Moondyne Joe” By Mark Greenwood I wanted to create a fun story, accurate in detail, about a strength of spirit that was nurtured by life in the new colony. A book that would bring to life a legend from our colourful history. I believe by having an appreciation of their own history, children better understand themselves, their community and their culture. The Legend of Moondyne Joe aims to encourage interest in our convict history to a wide audience of middle to upper primary and lower secondary age children. The picture book format allows illustrations to bring characters and settings to life. Illustrations help readers to develop a feel for bygone eras that words alone cannot portray.

    Transportation for life The story of John Woolliscroft 1799-1869 John Woolliscroft was the son of Joseph Woolliscroft and Elizabeth Mills and christened at Cheadle, Staffordshire on the 23 Feb 1799. His father died in 1817. At the time he was farming at Peakstones, Alton, Staffordshire, a tenant of James Beech of Kingsley. Peakstones was located on the road (present day B5032) from Alton to Cheadle. Joseph left his estate to his wife including the tenancy of Peakstones. In 1819 John's mother Elizabeth remarried to publican and widower Thomas Swetnam at Alton in Staffordshire.1, 2 John married Sarah Wright in 1818 at Swynnerton, Staffordshire. The marriage was witnessed by George and Rosehannah Mills. The marriage appears to have been troubled and in 1827 John was in a relationship with someone else. On the 2 August 1827 John Woolliscroft appeared with John Malbon (Malabone) at Stafford Assizes on two counts. Firstly for assaulting Solomon Smith on the Highway, robbing him of 7s 6d on the 15 June 1827 in Denstone Lane on his way back from Ashbourne. The newspaper report of the trial states that “the prisoners were men of truly ferocious character and appearance and formed part of a desperate gang with which the neighbourhood had been infested”. John Malbon had given a false statement after him arrest placing the blame on John Woolliscroft and his brother Thomas. In his defence John Woolliscroft brought forward a woman with whom he was living in a “habitual state of criminal intercourse”. The newspaper report of the trial states that the lady in question was aware John was a married man.
