HONOLULU, HAWAII. Food Conservation and Red Cross Work BANANA BREAD IN HAWAII The Honolulu Pan-Pacific Club has taken the lead in urging the restaurants of Hawaii to use banana bread, that wheat may be conserved for the Front. Food conservation and Red Cross work complement each other—each helps the man at the Front, as well as the unfortunate of Europe, in need of food. In Hawaii, the problem of a new bread has been successfully solved—a tasteful, nutritious article that largely replaces the wheat loaf, and as so many of the lands of the Pacific grow the banana, the recipe is herewith given. It is only necessary to take a sufficient quantity of bananas for the number of loaves desired and pass them through a sieve or ricer. When they are thoroughly pulped the usual quantity of yeast is added. The proportion of bananas to white bread should be two- thirds banana pulp to one-third wheat flour. The banana pulp should be measured before the yeast is added in order to get the right amount of yeast. A little salt is added, and sufficient milk or water to make a workable sponge, but no sugar or shortening is needed in the banana bread. The sweetness and richness of the fruit pulp amply supplies their place. After the sponge , is made the procedure is the same as in ordinary bread making. The bread is even more nourishing than the usual white flour bread, because of the high protein content of the bananas and their high caloric value. It is fine-grained and moist, keeping excellently. It makes good raisin bread. Hawaii's agricultural experiment station has long advised the use of banana bread, as being more healthful, nutritious and cheaper than the wheat. The Mid-Pacific Magazine will be pleased to receive from other lands recipes for breads that may use other products that wheat.

  • Macquarie Lightstation Assessm
    FINAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RESULTS The Macquarie Lightstation site is likely to have been used for signal purposes associated with shipping from 1790. The Macquarie Lighthouse was the first lighthouse in Australia and is connected with Governor Macquarie and Francis Greenway. Its grounds are likely to retain structural remains associated with the original design of the place, including the site of the Macquarie lighthouse, the boundary wall and the corner lodges. Other remains could include evidence of the early signal and lookout activities that took place in the South Head area, including evidence for the 1790 column rebuilt in 1792 with bricks taken from Bennelong’s Hut. These potential remains have a National level of heritage significance. There is some potential for the site to contain relics associated with Indigenous activities. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. As the area assessed in this report has the potential to retain evidence of European use of the land from 1790, much of it of National level of significance, impacts from remediation of the site should be minimised. 2. Any remediation program should be preceded by archaeological testing so as to refine our understanding of the archaeological issues and provide more certainty to the management of this significant resource. 3. The archaeological testing should concentrate on determining whether remains of features such as the eastern corner lodges and the original Macquarie Lighthouse are intact, to inform the remediation program in these areas and determine if any of the deposits proposed for remediation are of archaeological importance. 4. Archaeological testing would also be used to determine the nature of the fills on the site, as well as determining whether evidence of early land-use is present.

  • Sydney: a Saltwater Perspective HOBIE PORTER Sydney: a Saltwater Perspective
    HOBIE PORTER Sydney: A Saltwater Perspective HOBIE PORTER Sydney: A Saltwater Perspective 29 November – 14 December 2019 Opening Night & Festive Drinks Friday 29 November, 6pm Hobie Porter’s microscopically detailed landscapes examine the faceted intersections between modern civilisation, Indigenous cultures and the natural environment. The artist’s skilful trompe l’oeil and striking verisimilitude capture a specific place and time hedged by a suspended sense of timelessness and transcendence. Notions of catharsis and emancipation radiate from the sublime formations of his sweeping panoramas, yet lingering below this surface allure are deeper contemplations of environmental pillage and questions of sustainability in the age of the Anthropocene. The artist’s newest series, ‘Sydney: A Saltwater Perspective’, depicts the region of Port Jackson and Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub – known to the Eora people as Saltwater Country. In creating the paintings, Porter has been inspired by the contemporary current of historical revisionism of Indigenous engagement with, and cultivation of, the Australian landscape – led by authors such as Bill Gammage (The Biggest Estate on Earth: How Aborigines made Australia) and Bruce Pascoe (Dark Emu). ‘These works have inspired me to engage in my own historical revision of Sydney’, he reflects, ‘and to develop a project that might decolonise assumed constructions of place, and to think of the very familiar city of Sydney in a less familiar way’. Overlaying Porter’s vast landscapes are salient fragments from Indigenous natural history, which float, mid-air, like a displaced memory or material dream. The artist is fascinated by the flora and fauna utilised by Aboriginals in the Saltwater region, and how they managed these for a sustainable future.
