  • ANZAC Memorial Visit
    ANZAC Memorial Hyde Park June 2013 On Thursday 27th June the Scouts from 1st Ermington had the opportunity to visit the ANAZ Memorial at Hyde Park in the city. We caught the train from Eastwood station for the journey into Sydney - alighting from the train at Town Hall station. Fortunately the weather was kind and we had a nice walk up to the memo- rial through Hyde park. Although it was early evening and dark the memo- rial looked terrific. The curator for the evening introduced himself to the troop and there was much interest in his background as he was both a Vietnam veteran and a former scout. The evening started with a short video and the scouts were surprised at the footage of the opening because at the time the memorial was the tallest building in the city and the opening was attending by 100,000 people. We were given a tour of the different parts of the memorial (inside and out). Learning about the different parts of the memorial was extremely in- teresting. The Scouts were invited to release a Commemorative star representing an Australian service man or woman killed while serving their country or since deceased - a very humbling experience Another highlight of the evening was the Scouts being able to see a banner signed by Baden Powell. We departed the memorial at 8:20 for our return trip, arriving back into Eastwood at 9:10pm. A big thank you to the Scouts and Leaders that were able to participate in this activity. The ANZAC War Memorial, completed in 1934, is the main commemorative military monument of Sydney, Australia.

  • The Paragon, Katoomba
    The Paragon, Katoomba McLaughlin Lecture, Wentworth Falls, 1 March 2014 Ian Jack Fig.1 The Upper Mountains are well supplied with icons both of the natural environment and of the European built environment. The built environment from the later nineteenth century onwards relates overwhelmingly to the tourist industry: the railway which brought city-dwellers up here for holidays, the hotels and guest-houses, the cafés and restaurants and the homes of those who serviced the visitors. I want to talk about one particular café, its local setting and its wider ethnic context, its aesthetics and its archaeology. The Paragon in Katoomba was presciently named by Zacharias Simos in 1916. There are quite a lot of Greek cafés in New South Wales, forming an important heritage genre. But I can think of no other surviving Greek café in the state which has comparable stylishness, integrity and wealth of aesthetic and industrial heritage. The Paragon dates from quite near the beginning of a new phenomenon in Australian country towns, the Greek café. Fig.2 This is the Potiris family café in Queanbeyan 1914. Although the Greek diaspora, especially to America and Australia, had begun early in the nineteenth century, it had gained momentum only from the 1870s: over the following century over 3 million Greeks, both men and women, emigrated. The primary reason for many leaving their homeland in the late nineteenth century was economic, exacerbated by a sharp decline in the price of staple exports such as figs and currants and the wholesale replacement in some places of olive-groves by 1 vineyards.

  • Guy & Joe Lynch in Australasia
    On Tasman Shores: Guy & Joe Lynch in Australasia MARTIN EDMOND University of Western Sydney The Tasman Sea, precisely defined by oceanographers, remains inchoate as a cultural area. It has, as it were, drifted in and out of consciousness over the two and a half centuries of permanent European presence here; and remains an almost unknown quantity to prehistory. Its peak contact period was probably the sixty odd years between the discovery of gold in Victoria and the outbreak of the Great War; when the coasts of New Zealand and Australia were twin shores of a land that shared an economy, a politics, a literature and a popular culture: much of which is reflected in the pages of The Bulletin from the 1880s until 1914. There was, too, a kind of hangover of the pre-war era and of the ANZAC experience into the 1920s; but after that the notional country sank again beneath the waves. Recovery of fragments from that lost cultural zone is a project with more than historical interest: each retrieval is a prospective act, contributing to the restoration of a world view which, while often occluded, has never really gone away. There is of course much which is irrecoverable now; but that is in itself a provocation; for a mosaic made out of dislocated pieces might disclose something unprecedented, neither existent in the past nor otherwise imaginable in the present: the lineaments of the new world, at once authentic and delusive, that so entranced the earliest explorers of the Antipodes. What follows, then, is an assembly of bits of one of those sets of fragments: the story of the Lynch brothers, Guy and Joe, a sculptor and an artist; and the milieu in which they lived.

  • Melbourne Press Club Laurie Oakes Address 15 September 2017
    MELBOURNE PRESS CLUB LAURIE OAKES ADDRESS 15 SEPTEMBER 2017 Thank you all for coming. And thank you to the Melbourne Press Club for organizing this lunch. Although I’m based in Canberra, I’ve long felt a strong link with this club and been involved in its activities when I can-- including a period as one of the Perkin Award judges. Many of the members are people I’ve worked with over the years. I feel I belong. So this farewell means a lot to me. When I picked up the papers this morning, my first thought was: “God, I’m so old I knew Lionel Murphy.” In fact, I broke the story of his terminal cancer that shut down the inquiry. But making me feel even older was the fact that I’d even had a bit to do with Abe Saffron, known to the headline writers as “Mr Sin”, in my brief period on police rounds at the Sydney Mirror. Not long after I joined the Mirror, knowing nothing and having to be trained from scratch, a young journo called Anna Torv was given the job of introducing me to court reporting. The case involved charges against Mr Saffron based on the flimsy grounds, I seem to recall, that rooms in Lodge 44, the Sydney motel he owned that was also his headquarters, contained stolen fridges. At one stage during the trial a cauliflower-eared thug leaned across me to hand a note to Anna. It was from Abe saying he’d like to meet her. I intercepted it, but I don’t think Anna would have had much trouble rejecting the invitation.

  • Anzac Memorial Considered for State Heritage Listing
    3 March, 2010 ANZAC MEMORIAL CONSIDERED FOR STATE HERITAGE LISTING The ANZAC Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park is to be considered for listing on the State Heritage Register. Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said since its completion in 1934, the iconic building had been an important place of commemoration, especially on ANZAC Day. “As well as being a monument to the sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women, the ANZAC Memorial building has long been considered one of Australia’s greatest works of public art,” the Minister said. “The result of a creative collaboration between architect Bruce Dellit and sculptor Rayner Hoff, the ANZAC Memorial is arguably the finest expression of Art Deco monumentality in Australia. “It’s also closely linked to the landing of Australian troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, with fundraising for the memorial established on the first anniversary of the landing.” The building is associated with returned servicemen and women and their various organisations, including the RSL, which lobbied for the erection of the monument and occupied offices within it. Mr Kelly said the memorial represents NSW’s contribution to the group of national war memorials developed by each State capital during the inter-war period. “As a result, its heritage importance has a number of different dimensions including historical, aesthetic and social significance, and should it be considered for the State’s highest form of heritage protection,” the Minister said. The proposed listing, which follows the Government’s recent listing of three other iconic Sydney buildings – the Sydney Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building and Luna Park – will be exhibited for public comment until Monday, March 22.

  • Chapter 1 Douglas Stewart
    CHAPTER 1 DOUGLAS STEWART: THE EARLY YEARS 1925-1938 Throughout the many scholarly works that focus on Stewart’s place in Australian literature, the word that recurs in respect of Douglas Stewart’s creative work is ‘versatile’. One of its first appearances is in Nancy Keesing’s Douglas Stewart, which begins with the precise statement: ‘Douglas Stewart is the most versatile writer in Australia today ⎯ perhaps the most versatile who ever lived in this country. He is a poet whose poetry and nature as a poet are central to everything in which he excels’.93 Stewart was not only a poet whose early philosophy that the closer one moves towards nature the closer one moves towards the spirit of the earth, developed as a line of continuity which contributed to his total philosophy; this chapter focuses on Stewart’s life and poetic ambition in New Zealand until his move to Australia as an expatriate in 1938. As a mature poet he was then concerned to apply this pantheism to modern responses regarding humans and their experiences. The purpose of the introductory part of this chapter is to clarify the theme of the dissertation ⎯ Douglas Stewart’s creative impulse; the second part involves a discussion of the poet’s visit to England where he met poets Powys and Blunden. At this time he also journeyed to his ancestral home in Scotland. Upon his return to Australia in 1938 he was offered a position with Cecil Mann at the Bulletin. Stewart was also a distinguished verse dramatist, a successful editor, particularly of the Red Page of the Bulletin from 1940 to 1960,94 and a participant of some repute in journalism and publishing.
