  • Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough)
    PARLIAMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough) Address-in-Reply Debate Legislative Assembly Wednesday, 30 March 2005 Reprinted from Hansard Legislative Assembly Wednesday, 30 March 2005 ____________ Inaugural Speech Mr Grant Woodhams MLA (Member for Greenough) ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion MR G.A. WOODHAMS (Greenough) [5.20 pm]: It is a great honour to address this Assembly. Peter Watson and I have run a few long races in our lives. Today is probably the longest race I have run. There have been a few false starts, but it is great to be able to get to say what I want to say. I represent the electorate of Greenough. It is a very famous electorate in Western Australia. Its history goes back to the middle of the 19th century. I begin by talking about the electorate and why it is called Greenough. It is named after George Bellas Greenough, who was a president of the Royal Geographical Society of WA. Originally, George Bellas Greenough’s name was just George Bellas. He lost his parents in his early years and was raised by his paternal grandfather, whose last name was Greenough. George Bellas Greenough thus became his name. It is unfortunate that the Attorney General is not in the Legislative Assembly because I would like to thank him for inspiring me by providing some history to this gathering. History is very important when considering politics in Western Australia. The first reference I can find to the seat of Greenough names George Shenton Junior. It is recorded in the parliamentary debates in 1870.

  • “A Veritable Augustus”: the Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper
    “A Veritable Augustus”: The Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper Proprietor, Politician and Philanthropist (1848-1916) by Alexander Collins B.A., Grad.Dip.Loc.Hist., MSc. Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University March 2007 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……………………….. Alexander Collins ABSTRACT Irish-born Sir John Winthrop Hackett was a man of restless energy who achieved substantial political authority and social standing by means of the power gained through his editorship and part-ownership of the West Australian newspaper and his position in parliament. He was a man with a mission who intended to be a successful businessman, sought to provide a range of cultural facilities and, finally, was the moving force in establishing a tertiary educational institution for the people of Western Australia. This thesis will argue that whatever Hackett attempted to achieve in Western Australia, his philosophy can be attributed to his Irish Protestant background including his student days at Trinity College Dublin. After arriving in Australia in 1875 and teaching at Trinity College Melbourne until 1882, his ambitions took him to Western Australia where he aspired to be accepted and recognised by the local establishment. He was determined that his achievements would not only be acknowledged by his contemporaries, but also just as importantly be remembered in posterity. After a failed attempt to run a sheep station, he found success as part-owner and editor of the West Australian newspaper.

  • Historical Thematic Framework
    HISTORICAL THEMATIC FRAMEWORK Historical Thematic Framework INTRODUCTION Aboriginal Society at the time of the arrival of the European Settlers The Swan Valley and Swan Coastal Plain had been inhabited by Aboriginal people for between 40,000 and 80,000 years prior to European contact. These people were hunter gatherers who moved along definite routes determined by seasonal supplies of food and water. They lived in closely-knit family groups related by kinship. Over the previous centuries they had a finely established order and a sound social framework had evolved. They had a close relationship with the land and their identity was both embodied in, and derived from the places to which they were connected. The different groups understood the implications of tribal territories, boundaries and sacred places. The attitude of the early Aboriginal people to land and sites was in part a reflection of their religious beliefs, and also their responsibilities towards the land and their rights to it, which were inherited through kinship. Their rich culture and traditions were passed down to the younger generations through the power of legend, art, painting, dance, story and song. The arrival of the Europeans, with their different attitudes to land ownership and tenure, was to have a devastating effect upon the traditional way of life of the Aboriginal people. European Settlement in the South Perth District On visiting the City of South Perth in the twenty-first century, it is difficult to believe that the densely populated area we see today was once a struggling rural district, often overlooked in the search for more productive land.

Ed This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2011 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ...............................................................

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

  • City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework
    CITY OF SUBIACO THEMATIC HISTORY AND FRAMEWORK Prepared for the City of Subiaco KRISTY BIZZACA February 2014 THEMATIC HISTORY & FRAMEWORK OF SUBIACO ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, the City of Subiaco determined to undertake a Thematic History that would become the guiding document used to provide a Framework for understanding the evolution of the City’s cultural landscape in order to review the City’s Local Government Inventory. The consultant, Kristy Bizzaca, was commissioned in March 2012 to undertake this work. This Thematic History examines Subiaco's growth from pre-history, through to the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829 and up to the present day (2014) for the purposes of creating an overview of the main periods of development in the City. The history has been divided into eight periods with each chapter/section marking an important stage in the progress of Subiaco. In addition to providing a summary of local events and activities during these years, key factors, stories, themes and characteristics have been determined for each context. The first section identifies Aboriginal Histories of the area such as the water ways and gathering places of pre-history through to the dispossession, assimilation, institutionalisation and, more recently, reconciliation of the Post European History Period. The Colonial Period (1829 - 1870s) is the basis of the second section. It traces the early history of the place following the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829, encompassing the original land grants, the roads and railway routes that stimulated settlement and the establishment of the Benedictine Community at 'New Subiaco' in the 1850s.
