BULLETIN PO Box 5784 Stafford Heights 4053 Website ROYAL AUSTRALIAN SURVEY CORPS ASSOCIATION Queensland Branch BULLETIN PO Box 5784 Stafford Heights 4053 Website: www.rasurvey.org REUNION ISSUE – No 60 AUGUST 2015 CALENDER 2015 12 September – Annual Reunion and AGM (location – Alderley Arms Hotel, Enoggera Road, Alderley) December – Drinks at I Topo and Derek Chambers Award presentation. CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS OF THE FORMATION OF THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN SURVEY CORPS – 1ST JULY 1915 (The Corps’ 100th Birthday) This unique event was celebrated in fine style in Canberra on Wednesday 1st July at the Australian War Memorial, then at the National Library and finally with a memorable dinner at Canberra’s celebrated Lobby Restaurant. In the days following the 150 or so ex-Corps members moved by various means to Bendigo for weekend celebrations 3-5 July, starting at the Havilah Street RSL on the Friday evening, then a civic reception in Bendigo’s magnificent Town Hall on Saturday morning, a visit to the WRAAC Barracks in Carpenter St Saturday afternoon and a dinner that evening at the All Seasons Motor Inn on McIvor Road. Sunday morning took us to the iconic Gold Mines Hotel for a barbecue lunch then a march through the back gate of Fortuna for a moving celebration at the monument cairn in the grounds of Fortuna and the unveiling of the picture board. Many speeches were delivered extolling the work of the Corps over its 81 years of dedicated operation serving Australia in war and peace. Ed: I propose a special issue of our Bulletin with lots of photos hopefullyfor distribution at the Annual Reunion and AGM on the 12th September.2015. Canberra – Australian War Memorial Bendigo – Fortuna Villa – from across the now dry ‘lake’ 1 1 TOPO SVY SQN – Ed: I repeat the statement below from WO1 Diana Souter published in the April 2015 issue of our Bulletin since it remains the last word we have on the re-assignation of 1 Topo Survey Squadron to the Intelligence Battalion We are still Engineers. I know this continues to cause a lot of confusion. All Geospatial Technicians (old Carto Techs) and the Multi Media Techs (old Illustrators) belong to Corps of Engineers. However,1 Topo Svy Sqn HQ component (GEOs, Clerks, Q staff and Sigs etc) is now part of 1 Int Battalion but not the Int Corps. So we wear the RAE hat badge (Corps we belong to) and the 1 INT BN shoulder patch (unit we belong to) and we have been allowed (whilst we are still 1 Topo Svy Sqn) to retain our Sqn colour patch on our hats. The RA Svy Corps Association will continue to be welcome to attend the Dawn Service at RAE Enoggera….Diana COMMITTEE Patron Lieutenant Colonel E.U.

ANZAC DAY 2015 – 100TH ANNIVERSARY Dawn Service at Enoggera Our Association had been invited to participate in the Dawn Service at 2CER (RAE) at Enoggera and five of our members did so. After some confusion we established that the Memorial site was now close to its original location having been elsewhere over the past couple of years while the 2CER new buildings were being built (close to Samford Road)Jim Beard placed the wreath and others attending were, Jim Beard (laid the Association wreath),Bruce Bowers (accompanied by his Granddaughter), Ian Fitzgerald, Ross Smithwick ( accompanied by his cousin Robin), Rock & Mary-Ann Thiselton. Ross reports that the service was very moving and a worthwhile experience. Ross also reports that the 2CER Sportman’s Club in now little more than a kiosk. City March Anticipating a much longer than usual march on this centennial year the march stepped off at 0930h, an advance of half an hour on the more usual start time of 1000h. Our Association was at serial 39 immediately behind the Australian Water Transport Association (once an RAE formation) which puts us in the middle of the field (145 serials in all not including the bands). But even so it was 1100h before we stepped off after blocking up for the preceding half hour. We had a good roll up and were well supported by soldiers from the 1st Topographical Survey Squadron. They carried our rather unwieldy banner and the theodolite In front of the banner and behind the march leader. We were blessed with an excellent band only one or two serials behind us so it was’t too difficult to maintain step although their quick march tempo might have been a little too quick for us ageing veterans. The salute was taken by the State Governor the Honourable Paul de Jersey, AC, recently appointed after the retirement of Ms Penelope Wensley. I observed as we approached the saluting dais in Adelaide Street the Governor cheerily waiving to the marching units in front of us but we surveyors being a regimental lot gave a formal eyes left with our leader wearing our purple beret saluting the Governor who acknowledged by coming to attention. Without doubt the march attracted the largest crowd I have ever seen lining all streets, even at the start in George Street but especially in Adelaide Street and both Anzac and Post Office Squares. Rounding the corner from Creek Street into Elizabeth Street we dissembled and by 3 various means made our way to The Alderley Arms Hotel for our Anzac get-together but with an hour to fill in before the hotel opened at 1300h. The Anzac Get-together Also well attended with the Association (supported by our current sponsor) providing jugs of beer and finger foods, greatly appreciated by all. We drank toasts to honour the memory of our recently departed members, Ken Shaw (proposed by Peter Bates-Brownsword) Mick Duniam – who marched with us last Anzac day, Alan (Hawkeye) Hawkins and Bill Baker (proposed by Barry Lutwyche).

  • Ntaria Artist: Irene Mbitjana Entata Irene Attended the Mission School in Hermannsburg and Later Became a Founding Member of the Hermannsburg Potters
    LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN NTARIA Artist: Irene Mbitjana Entata Irene attended the Mission school in Hermannsburg and later became a founding member of The Hermannsburg Potters. She is a dedicated potter, rarely missing a day’s work at the studio though older age is catching up now. Her works are generally centred around her own interpretation of the history of her people over recent generations. Her works depicting mission day life & activity which she calls “Mission Days “ are greatly sought after world wide. The Arrarnta people from Hermannsburg, a former Lutheran mission about 130 km west of Alice Springs, are generally known for their Namatjira-style watercolours. They have a 60 year tradition of producing art. Since 1980, these potters have been producing a vibrant and highly original form of ceramic art that draws on many influences yet strongly reflects the distinctive visual culture of the region. The potters embrace yet reinterpret all these influences and traditions in their own painted ceramics. The artists depict their country as seamless landscapes around the full-bellied forms of the container pots, each of which is guarded by a desert animal or another creature, as the potters say, “from our minds”. Ntaria is the name that has been used to refer to the community in this Local Implementation Plan. While ‘Hermannsburg’ is the official name of the community as listed with the Northern Territory Government Place Names Register, the community has expressed, through consultation with the Single Government Interface and through its Local Reference Group that ‘Ntaria’ is the more appropriate name for use in this Plan.
