  • New Holland in Australia 1945 – 1987
    Sssssspppp NEW HOLLAND IN AUSTRALIA 1945 - 1987 NEW HOLLAND IN AUSTRALIA 1945 – 1987 By: Ray Smith.. November 1989 The first New Holland machines, two Model 75 balers, arrived in Australia under a war-time Government lend lease arrangement in 1945. However, the foundation on which New Holland Australia was build commenced a year later when Doring Implements was formed to import and retail the Model 76. From a small office located in a suburb (St Kilda) of Melbourne, Victoria, Doring, owned and managed by New Zealand born Basil Horne, imported product through Henry R. Jahn, New York. Although Horne was an associate of Cecil Taylor, who, at about the same time started a similar operation in New Zealand here was no company or known financial connection. With the arrival of spares for the first shipment of six Model 76 balers in 1947, a move was made to “larger” premises – a single fronted two story shop front building in the busy nearby suburb of Prahran. Doring used these premises as their HQ thru to 1953, when 6 acres were purchased some 20 miles from the centre of Melbourne (Dandenong) on the main highway to the rich agricultural area of Gippsland. An assembly and parts building fronted by a large showroom and office complex was built, complete with a wall mounted mural painted by famous Australian painter William Dargy. A sign across the front of the building “The Home Of New Holland” reinforced the strong bond, based on trust and loyalty that had developed between company and clients. This valuable relationship with owners (mostly strategically located contractors (custom operators)) developed through dealing direct and being given first rate field and parts service.

  • LAYING CLIO's GHOSTS on the SHORES of NEW HOLLAND* the Title Does Not Foreshadow an Ex
    EMPTY HISTORICAL BOXES OF THE EARLY DAYS: LAYING CLIO'S GHOSTS ON THE SHORES OF NEW HOLLAND* By DUNCAN ~T ACC.ALU'M HE title does not foreshadow an exhumation of the village Hampdens, as Webb T called them,! buried on the shores of Botany Bay. In fact, they were probably thieves, but let their ;-emains rest in peace. No, the metaphor in the title is from an analogy from a memorable controversy in value theory in Economics. 2 The title was meant to suggest the need for giving some historical content to the emotions that have accompanied discussions of the early period. Some of the figures which seem to have been conjured up by historical writers have been given malignancy but 110t identity. Yet these faceless men of the past, and the roles for which they have been cast, seem to distort the play of life. And indeed, it is perhaps because the historical boxes have remained unfilled, and because the background-the rest of the play and action-has not been fully explored, that some people of the early period, well known to us by name, have been interpreted in the light of twentieth-century prejudice and political controversy. We know all too little about the quality of day-to-day life in early Australia, the spiritual and material existence of the early Europeans, their energies, their activities and outlook. In the first stage of an inquiry I have been pursuing into our early social history, I am concerned not with these more elusive yet in a way more interesting questions, but in what sort of colony it was with the officers, the gaol and the port.

  • History and Causes of the Extirpation of the Providence Petrel (Pterodroma Solandri) on Norfolk Island
    246 Notornis, 2002, Vol. 49: 246-258 0029-4470 O The Ornithological Society of New Zealand, Inc. 2002 History and causes of the extirpation of the Providence petrel (Pterodroma solandri) on Norfolk Island DAVID G. MEDWAY 25A Norman Street, New Plymouth, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract The population of Providence petrels (Pterodroma solandri) that nested on Norfolk Island at the time of 1st European settlement of that island in 1788 was probably > 1 million pairs. Available evidence indicates that Europeans harvested many more Providence petrels in the years immediately after settlement than previously believed. About 1,000,000 Providence petrels, adults and young, were harvested in the 4 breeding seasons from 1790 to 1793 alone. Despite these enormous losses, many Providence petrels were apparently still nesting on Norfolk Island in 1795 when they are last mentioned in documents from the island. However, any breeding population that may have survived there until 1814 when Norfolk Island was abandoned temporarily was probably exterminated by the combined activities of introduced cats and pigs which had become very numerous by the time the island was re-occupied in 1825.

  • 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.
