I lost my arm in that battle yet later became the only outlaw ever elected to parliament! On 24 Nov 1857 all men received the right to vote. Our Southern Cross flag is now the Australian flag. Down with tyranny! John Batman, Founder of Colonial Melbourne (1801 –1839) I was a Tasmania sheep farmer when I led an expedition to sign a ‘treaty’ with Aboriginal ‘chiefs’ in 1835 to found the settlement of Melbourne and the colony of Victoria. I captured bushranger Mathew Brady and married a runaway convict Eliza Callaghan. We had seven children in all. At Melbourne’s first land sale in 1837. I bought the Young and Jackson Hotel site opposite Flinders Street Station to build a home for my children. It became a schoolhouse in 1839 and today a famous pub. See Chloe upstairs! Ron Clarke, Runner 1937- I had the great honour of carrying the torch into the stadium in the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956. I was also the first man to run three miles in under 13 minutes. They said I was fastest man on the planet when I broke 17 world records and 25 Australian records in 1965.

  • 2021 Magazine
    July 2021 Welcome to the July 2021 edition of BADWATER® Magazine! We are AdventureCORPS®, producers of ultra-endurance sports events and adventure travel across the globe, and the force behind the BADWATER® brand. This magazine celebrates the entire world-wide Badwater® / AdventureCORPS® series of races, all the Badwater Services, Gear, Drinks, and Clothing, and what we like to call the Badwater Family and the Badwater Way of Life. Adventure is our way of life, so – after the sad and disastrous 2020 when we were not able to host any of our life-changing events – we are pleased to be fully back in action in 2021! Well, make that almost fully: Due to pandemic travel bans still in place, international participation in our USA-based events is not where we want it and that’s really unfortunate. Badwater 135 is the de facto Olympics of Ultrarunning and the 135-Mile World Championship, so we always want as many nationalities represented as possible. (The inside front cover of this magazine celebrates all sixty-one nationalities which have been represented on the Badwater 135 start line over the years.) Our new six-day stage race across Armenia – Artsakh Ultra – will have to wait yet another year to debut in 2022, two years later than planned. But it will be incredible, the ultimate stage race with six days of world-class trail running through several millennia of incredible culture and history, and across the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes. This year, we are super excited to have brought two virtual races to life, first for the 31 days of January, and then for 16 days in April.

    NEWSLETTER 2020 POOVAMMA ENJOYING TRANSITION TO SENIOR STATESMAN ROLE IN DYNAMIC RELAY SQUAD M R Poovamma has travelled a long way from being the baby of the Indian athletics contingent in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing to being the elder FEATURED ATHLETE statesman in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. She has experienced the transition, slipping into the new role MR Poovamma (Photo: 2014 Incheon Asian Games @Getty) effortlessly and enjoying the process, too. “It has been a different experience over the past couple of years. Till 2017, I was part of a squad that had runners who were either as old as me or a couple of years older. But now, most of the girls in the team are six or seven years younger than I am,” she says from Patiala. “On the track they see me as a competitor but outside, they look up to me like a member of their family.” The lockdown, forced by the Covid-19 outbreak, and the aftermath have given her the opportunity to don the leadership mantle. “For a couple of months, I managed the workout of the other girls. I enjoyed the role assigned to me,” says the 30-year-old. “We were able to maintain our fitness even during lockdown.” Poovamma reveals that the women’s relay squad trained in the lawn in the hostel premises. “It was a change off the track. We hung out together. It was not like it was a punishment, being forced to stay away from the track and the gym.

    p.1 STANFORD UNIVERSITY PROJECT: Bob Murphy Interviews INTERVIEWEE: Payton Jordan Robert W. Murphy, Jr.: [0:00] Hello again everybody, Bob Murphy here and a very special chapter in Stanford sports today because one of the dearest friend I've ever had in my life and one of my great pals, Payton Jordan, is with us. Payton, this was scheduled long before you hit your little speed bump a week or so ago. So we'll tell the folks about that, but as we start doing this, I think of you and I sharing the better part of the last 50 years telling stories to one another. Laughing with one another. Laughing at one another. [laughter] Murphy: [0:38] But here we are to recap this. Tell the folks about your little speed bump, you're doing fine, you look great, things are gonna be fine. Payton Jordan: [0:46] I'm sure everything will be fine, I had a slight bump in road, had a little lump on my neck. And they found out it was a very rare cancer and we had to do a little cutting and we'll be doing some radiation and in no time at all, I'll be back up and at them. Murphy: [1:00] They didn't give you a face lift, too, because you're looking so pretty here. [both laugh] Jordan: [1:05] They kind of knit my nerves on one side a little bit, but I'm going to be OK. Murphy: [1:09] We're going to have fun talking about this, we're in no hurry, we're just gonna kind of ramble on.

  • Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
    Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.
