    AMICUS MAY 2019 Vol 46 No 2 Journal of the B S H S Past Students’ Association Inc. HERITAGE LISTING Brisbane State High School is a place that satisfies numerous criteria of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992. With its core built in 1864 and opened in 1865 as the South Brisbane Primary School, Block “H” was the South Brisbane Intermediate School from 1929 to 1953. Block “H” was transferred to Brisbane State High School in 1964 and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 1994. In November 2018 the Red Brick Building, Block “A” and three significant fig trees on the Merivale Campus alias The Farm were added to the Heritage Register. The Statement of Significance states: “Block “A”, (1925) the first purpose-built state high school built in Brisbane, is one of the earliest schools in Queensland not attached to a technical college. It illustrates the Queensland Government’s commitment to state-provided secondary education. Block “A” is an excellent, intact example of an Urban Brick School Building designed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). It is important in demonstrating the principal charac- teristics of this type, which include: a handsome edifice standing in a prominent location; symmetrical two-storey form of classrooms and teachers rooms above an understorey of open play spaces; a linear layout of the main floors with rooms accessed by corridors; loadbearing masonry construction; prominent projecting central entrance bay; and a high standard of design to provide superior educational environments that focus on abundant natural light and ventilation. It demonstrates the use of stylistic features of its era, through its roof form, joinery and decorative treatment.

  • Issue 40: Summer 2009/10
    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

Will we get a result in this Test or will it peter out to a draw? Should the Federal Government’s Infrastructure Fund hire the curators at Brisbane and the Adelaide Oval to oversee the nation’s key road projects? Does Michael Clarke regret any of his tattoo choices? Lara Bingle? What makes a “celebrity” credible? In terms of celebrity credibility is a past relationship with the Australian Test Captain cancelled or enhanced by a past fling with Brendan Fevola? Should I stop asking questions about sportsmen’s relationships, or do I run the risk of this piece reading like a Nathan Brown monologue on The Sunday Football Show?

  • IAN CHAPPELL on AUSTRALIANISM There Is the Image of the Australian As This Beer-Swigging, Relentless Character Who Drinks All Night and Battles All Day
    TALKING CRICKET IAN CHAPPELL ON AUSTRALIANISM There is the image of the Australian as this beer-swigging, relentless character who drinks all night and battles all day. It’s become a sort of a cliché. ‘A WEAKNESS IN CHARACTER IS The drinking all night… I guess it’s true to an extent, certainly LIKE A WEAKNESS OUTSIDE before us and up to us, but I can’t speak for after that. You don’t OFF STUMP’ really know now unless you play with them. I think the true Australian feeling among sportsmen – and I’ve spoken to [John] Newcombe [the tennis player] about this, and he said the same about his era – was that you had a few beers, and if you had a few too many, no one wanted to hear about your hangover. Don’t moan; just shut up and play and do your best. That was the approach. Speaking for myself, the amount you drink when playing at county level compared to what you drink before a Test is a whole lot different. With county you think, “We’ll beat this bunch of bastards no matter what we drink.” But in World Series Cricket [WSC], facing [Andy] Roberts, [Michael] Holding and [Joel] Garner, you wanted your brain working at 100%. You didn’t want any more challenges than these buggers you were facing. Interview by Rohit Brijnath The most important thing for me was getting eight hours sleep.
