    100 Volunteer STORIES www.volunteeringact.org.au © Volunteering ACT Inc 2013. December 2013 Celebrating the contribution of Canberra’s Volunteers Proudly sponsored by Beyond Bank Australia FOREWORD BY MAUREEN CANE Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering ACT Australia’s capital has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often first provided by volunteers. Volunteering is now in Canberra’s DNA, with many of her citizens, young and old and from all walks of life, actively volunteering at any one time. This book tells some of their stories — of care for others, of courage, of generosity and of application of skills and expertise. The stories are a testimony to the excellent work of Canberra’s community-based organisations and to the selfless contribution of individuals towards the general good. One such story, of the generous application of expertise, is from Sarah Wilson, the volunteer who compiled this book for Volunteering ACT! All the stories are a fitting legacy for Canberra’s Centenary year and engender a sure and certain confidence that our Maureen Cane, Volunteering ACT CEO future is in good hands. AUSTRALIA’S CAPITAL has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often firstprovided by volunteers. FOREWORD BY MARY PORTER Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and Founder of Volunteering ACT As we all know the ACT has one of the highest rates of volunteering in Australia. When I arrived in the ACT in 1977 I was introduced to the communities training program that was sponsored by the Mental Health arm of the, then, Health Commission and supported by ACTOSS & Lifeline ACT.

    President’s Annual Report Christopher Watson (August 2014)– 2013-14 Your Committee Team Thanks to you all, especially our Secretary, John Connelly, for his meticulous minutes. Our treasurer, Doug Finlayson, not only keeps our finances in good shape, but also regularly writes a ‘Park Update’ with great pictures (these articles have also been printed in the magazines of the ACT National Parks Association and National Trust). The help of Vice President, Brian Rhynehart, and also Vena Murray, was much appreciated. Darryl Seto, our webmaster, ensures information goes far and wide! Darryl is also organising an art exhibition to be staged at the Belconnen Arts Centre in 2015. Our Patron, Dr Bryan Pratt, was ever willing to have a chat and give advice; we now look forward to advice from our new Co-Patron, Meredith Hunter. We’ve had deputations a-plenty, namely, ACT Assembly Members, Yvette Berry, Mary Porter, Mick Gentleman, Shane Rattenbury and Alistair Coe; also Federal Members, Andrew Leigh MHR, Senator Zed Seselja and Angus Taylor MHR. There have been continuing contacts and help, from the ACT National Trust, ACT National Parks Association, Ginninderra Catchment Group, Belconnen Community Council and the Conservation Council; also, frequent meetings with local landowner and developer, David Maxwell, who is the director of Riverview (Projects) Pty Ltd National Park Investigations As a result of our urging, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service in 2013 assessed 274 ha in the area centred on Ginninderra Falls and near the Murrumbidgee River – Ginninderra Creek confluence. Their report, received by us in November 2013, acknowledged the area’s “conservation and recreational opportunities”, but unfortunately, said that it was “not a priority for purchase”.

  • Reimagining Australia
    REIMAGINING AUSTRALIA Encounter, Recognition, Responsibility BOOK OF CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS (as at 16/11/16) ABOAGYE, Kaiya University of Sydney Re-imagining the African Diaspora in Australia: A discussion paper on the transcultural social history of Indigenous Australians and the African diaspora This paper will seek to draw out and make sense of the complex, transcultural and social history between Indigenous Australians and people of the African diaspora in Australia. Investigating the socio-historical and racial positioning of Aboriginal Australians of African descent, this paper asserts that this is a long often undocumented history. A history that starts from the very beginning of colonization in 1788, with the arrival of eleven settlers of African descent on Australia’s first fleet. It is commonly known among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family groups, that linage can be traced back several generations to long lost African forefathers, changing the nature and kinship of Aboriginal family formation. Dominant interpretations of Australia’s African history and early colonial literature routinely leave out this relationship between people of colour within its nationalist narrative. Our history books are habitual discourses that present an uncomplicated story about black and white protagonist and race relations, but never between the subjects themselves, or the voices of the oppressed “others”. Contemporarily it is a history reduced to occurring only within the early ninetieth centaury. This paper argues that by examining the historical relationship between these groups; we can start to extend our current thinking about the cultural nature of the “African Australian Diaspora” today, specifically as it emerges within transnational spaces of Indigenous Australian social history? As we work to further advance our theoretical articulation of, the development of transcultural black studies in Australia, this paper will not only assess the parameters of this research study.
