    2021 Hubert 100

    2021 HUBERT 100 INFORMATION HANDBOOK For all Course Maps, Course Notes, and download links, please visit the Hubert website We made it! After a tumultuous and uncertain 2020 I am excited to once again be headed up to the Ikara-Flinders Ranges with you all to put on The Hubert 100. As most of you are likely aware, this is the final year for the Hubert, and the final trail ultramarathon for Ultra Runners SA. The Flinders are such an incredible venue populated by beautiful people and stories. This country is both harsh and serene, jagged yet majestic. And every time I travel up there I marvel at the ripples of the ranges in the distance as I approach. Ripples that extend as far as the eye can see, comprising of peaks older than the Himalayas. I’ve always felt like it’s like driving into an oil painting. And for those of you who are journeying up there for the first time, you won’t be disappointed. And I am sure neither will the seasoned visitors! Despite these challenges, all of you are lining up to test yourselves in this country. 160-odd souls pulling on packs and shoes and heading off on a huge adventure! Yes the land is harsh, but I suspect that has been part of the attraction for you all. This event is named after 20th century explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins. Wilkins was an SA-born pioneer in many fields, making his biography quite enthralling to read. If you have time I highly recommend you read The Last Explorer.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

    V Many of the changes that have already taken place show that, despite early or local associations, improvements are commonly welcomed and gradually prevail. (Advertiser, 17 September 1900, page 4d) Vadhalinha Gorge - East of Beltana; Aboriginal for ‘like a grub’. Vailima Court - A subdivision of part section 256, Hundred of Adelaide, by Carl H.W. Nitschke, licensed victualler, in 1918; now included in Hackney. The original plan shows ‘Elm Court’. Vale Park - Takes its name from ‘Vale House’, purchased by Philip Levi in November 1856. In November 1947 the last surviving member of the family, Constance Levi, offered the house and ten acres of land to the Walkerville Corporation for the purpose of a public park, known, today, as ‘Levi Park’. In 1838, at the age of sixteen years, Phillip Levi arrived in Australia from Surrey in the Eden. His first job was taken with the Customs Department, but he soon combined pastoral activities with mercantile pursuits. He opened the commercial house of Philip Levi & Co. at the corner of King William and Grenfell Streets, Adelaide, where the old Imperial Hotel stood. That locality was known for many years as ‘Levi’s Corner’. For more than half a century Philip Levi, who in his early youth devoted much time and work to opening up the north, was one of the most familiar figures in Adelaide. Grazing his first flock of sheep over the now thickly populated suburbs of Prospect and Walkerville, Levi… acquired ‘Dust Holes’ near Truro. A man of remarkable energy and financial ability, with a daring speculative spirit, tempered with sound judgement, Levi, most of whose ventures were brought to a successful issue, speedily made a large fortune.
