  • Embracing the Make-Believe-The Making of Surfers Paradise
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ Moore, Keith (2005) Embracing the Make-believe — The Making of Surfers Paradise. Australian Studies 18(1):pp. 187-210. © Copyright 2005 British Australian Studies Association 7 Embracing the Make-believe – The Making of Surfers Paradise KEITH MOORE School of Humanities and Human Services, Carseldine Campus – Queensland University of Technology, Beams Road, Carseldine, Queensland 4034, Australia. [email protected] A name can create an image that can have a powerful determining effect on an eventual outcome. In 1917, Real Estate Agent Thor Jensen decided that the name ‘Surfers Paradise’ could conjure the image of a beachside ‘Shangri-la’ in the minds of Australians. Together with Arthur Blackwood, he bought virtually uninhabited coastal land overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Elston, to the south of Southport, and sold it as ‘The Surfers Paradise Estate’. Opening a hotel a short distance from the foreshore eight years later, James Cavill embraced Jensen’s vision by naming his establishment ‘The Surfers Paradise Hotel’. Other entrepreneurs joined Cavill in catering for tourists and by the mid-1950s, the price of land at Surfers Paradise had gone ‘sky high’. The excitement continued with high-rise apartments and international-standard tourist hotels replacing much of the low-set accommodation erected a decade earlier. In commenting in 1988 that envy existed over the way Surfers Paradise had triumphed over other Gold Coast locations by possessing such a ‘promotable’ title, historian Alexander McRobbie recognised the locality’s unassailable position. Clearly, ‘Elston’ Australian Studies, Vol. 18, No. 1, Summer 2003, pp. 187-210 (issued in 2005) Published by the BRITISH AUSTRALIAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION 188 AUSTRALIAN STUDIES could not have captured the public’s imagination as a tourist destination in the way that Surfers Paradise had.

  • The Human Motor: Hubert Opperman and Endurance Cycling in Interwar
    The Human Motor: Hubert Opperman and Endurance Cycling in Interwar Australia DANIEL OAKMAN During the late 1920s and 1930s, Hubert ‘Oppy’ Opperman (1904–1996) rose to prominence as the greatest endurance cyclist of the period. After success in Europe, Opperman spent a decade setting a slew of transcontinental and intercity cycling records. This article explores how Opperman attained his celebrity status and why his feats of endurance resonated powerfully with the Australian public. More than a mere distraction in the economic turmoil of the Depression, Opperman’s significance can be explained within the context of broader concerns about modernity, national capacity, efficiency and race patriotism. This article also argues that for a nation insecure about its physical and moral condition, Opperman fostered new understandings of athleticism, masculinity and the capacity of white Australians to thrive in a vast and sparsely populated continent. On the morning of 5 November 1937, the Mayor of Fremantle, Frank Gibson, gently lowered the rear wheel of Hubert Opperman’s bicycle into the Indian Ocean, signalling the start of the famed endurance cyclist’s attempt on the transcontinental cycling record, a distance of some 2,700 miles that he hoped to cover in less than eighteen days.1 Thousands had turned out to see the champion cyclist and he rode leisurely, so that they each might catch a glimpse of his new machine.2 Fascination with the record attempt had been building for weeks. The Melbourne Argus printed a picture of Opperman’s ‘million revolution legs’ on the front page and estimated that with an average pedal pressure of twenty-five pounds, he would need to exert over 1 22,234 tons to cover the distance.3 For the next two weeks, newspaper and radio broadcasts reported on every aspect of the ride, including his gear selection, diet, clothing, sleeping regimes and daily mileages.

  • Vale David Larwill
    Volume 8 Issue 3 July – August 2011 We aim for inclusiveness and openness, catering for a diversity of views without rancour. Many in Somers knew David Larwill to say ‘good morning’ Vale and exchange a smile while crossing the road to or from the Post Office. David in his paint-smudged jeans would always David Larwill return an engaging smile. Most also knew he was a successful painter and that with his generous donations and loyal followers had made a significant contribution to the success of the primary school’s annual art fair. David, his work, generosity and larrikin approach to life have been reported in the media both locally and further afield since his death in June. We wished to honour our local identity in a manner that was appropriate but felt we could not improve on some of the wonderful tributes already written so have chosen to print an edited selection that we feel covers the way in which David Larwill lived in our community quietly – imparting an infectious good nature. A range of papers looked at different aspects of this down- to-earth, generous man: Gina McColl in The Age on 20 June described the local everyman as the “larrikin artist who took modern art and made it roar”, making reference to David’s involvement as one of the founding members of the highly regarded and rebellious Roar Studios of the early 1980s. “‘Roar was fairly radical ... a group of anti-intellectual expressionist painters that became a focal point against the conceptualism [prevalent] at the time,” said art critic and commentator Ashley Crawford, who had known Larwill for 30 years.

    Dr Simon Jackson (Australia) Senior Lecturer National Institute for Design Research Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology, PA Building, 144 High Street, Prahran, 3181, Australia Boxing Kangaroos on Wheels - Australian design education, sporting heritage and national identity. At sporting events world-wide, the image of a boxing kangaroo on a green and gold flag is flown by proud Australian spectators. Australia’s national identity has long been based on sporting prowess, inspiring one influential manufacturer to lament in 1945: “Great deeds in the realms of war and sport have imbued Australians with a full measure of national pride. We should be no less proud of their industrial history, but unfortunately there are few who appreciate the extent of their achievement in less than 150 years.”i Despite these stirring words, it is as a sporting nation that Australians, then and now mostly identify. Happily, however, there have been several occasions where industrial design, manufacturing and sport have met to mutual advantage… Australians - a sporting people ‘Overcoming the odds’, ‘backing the under-dog’ - how Australians love such expressions. Throughout the brief history of this country there have been several opportunities for proving Australian mettle in which local sporting prowess and design innovation has triumphed against older and larger nations. One of Australia’s great sporting heroes was the legendary Sir Hubert Opperman who rode his locally designed and manufactured Malvern Star bike to international fame. ii Opperman,

As you will without doubt personally experi- enced the cancellations of your own meetings and family gatherings, I’m sure you would appreciate the difficulties the Priory Administrative Council has had in trying to second guess the pathway and life of the pandemic. We have been so disappointed to have had to postpone our Investiture and luncheon in June, and particu- larly in trying to establish alternate firm dates for the Investiture, luncheon and Annual Chapter Meeting. The use of IT platforms such as ZOOM to keep in contact, has proven to be a boon for the Councillors in keeping contact, and ensuring that the business of the Victorian Priory continues to operate. At the Victorian Priory Council Meeting (by ZOOM) held on the 17th September, the Council, which was also attended virtually by the Grand Prior Chevalier David Wilckens KJSJ and Bailiff Peter Wiltshire OSJ, discussed the Investiture , luncheon and meeting schedule going forward. Given that Victoria has been denied access to other States excluding NSW, this has brought to a halt any opportunity for Victori- an members to attend face to face Chapter meetings and Investitures in Tasmania or South Australia.
