PAPER YET TO COME. • • • • • • • • • • OPENING. I feel we should begin by reminding ourserves of the broad object­ • ives of the Trust, and these objectives are incorporated in the National Trust Act of 1960 and they are summarised in the report. 'To acquire, protect and preserve for the benefit of the public lands and buildings of beauty and of national, historic, scientific and architectural cultural significance~ to safeguard natural features and to conserve wildlife and to encourage and promote public apprec­ • iation, knowledge and enjoyment of these things.' We may also be reminded that,the Trust was formed in 1945 and forty years on in 1985, though it has been working within the scope of these objectives enorm6USE changes have taken place in the entire heritage scene. The Trust membership has grown from the original handful of • people in 1945 to over 33,000 now, and this reflects the increasing awareness among the general public of the value of heritage and the need to conserve it. We have an enormous increase in professional expertise, expanded beyond belief in many areas, much of which will provide the basis of our discussion. I might mention the commercial • production of a whole host of historic items which were simply unheard of before and I should also like to draw your attention to the pro­ duction of books and periodicals which make the latest information accessible to all. So all of these avenues and a great many others have improved the standard over the last forty years. • Now - what.has not expanded to such an extent is - as it were - the theoretical aspects of heritage matters and of course this is the particular concern of this seminar. What we are looking at is a philosophy for Old Government House. The house was acquired by the Trust in 1967 and after three years of • restoration it was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 on 30 April 1970. Amid all the rhetoric of such a royal occasion there shines through the ideal that this was the most important step the Trust had taken to date: that this is the most significant and important property that the Trust owns and that it will become the centre and showplace • of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) properties. These high ideals have been cherished by those associated with the house and over the years another factor has crept into the pattern and that factor is affection. More so than any property I know Old Govern­ ment House seems to have developed a personality of its own, seems to have a spirit, a powerful mana which envelops those who work with it • and for it: the Old Government House Committee, staff and managers, full time staff and part-time staff, volunteers and guardians, so all of them develop a great love of the property and a great pride in it and, with this, a desire to maintain it and keep it in the light of the ideals as seen at that opening. • For the past fifteen years of deep affection and plain hard work in maintaining the house they deserve our gratitude. • • • But things do change. Fifteen years on since 1970 it is time to • take stock of what we are doing and where we are going and this, of course, is the purpose of this seminar. We look forward to a fascin­ ating two days, we look forward to learning a great deal, to taking part in the development of proposals for the next stage in the life of Old Government House. So, let us hope that .this powerful mana of which I spoke before will have a benign influence on the deliberations • and that our discussions will be profitable and we will reach a successful conclusion.

Some of these changes have been to the building itself - such as the recent repainting, and others to the interior, including changes to • the arrangement and display of furniture and furnishings. Understandably, these changes have met with opposition from people who are attached to the concepts and the view of history embodied in the current display. The most obvious change has been the repainting of the exterior from green and white to golden-beige, cream and green. The exterior walls are now • lime washed. The choice of the colour scheme was described in the National Trust Journal, February 1984, as follows: -- - - -- --- ---- - -- - - -------- Painstaking research has uncovered the exterior colour schemes of Old Govern­ ment House at two different periods in • its early history, and has prompted the Trust's Curatorial Committee to under­ take a meticulous "facelift" for the property, authentic for the period when Governor FitzRoy lived there. This particular period was chosen, above the second scheme researched which was • that of Governor Macquarie, because it shows the house as' it was at the end of the era when our early governors made Old Government House their country home. The earlier (Macquarie) scheme is essential- -ly grey, with black, ochre and umber • variations and is believed to have been selected by Mrs. Macquarie from the very few colours available in the Colony at the time, 1815-17. The second (FitzRoy) scheme comprises variations of beige, grey, cream and green, and is believed to have been applied before 1847 when • Lady Mary FitzRoy was killed in a carriage accident in front of the house. When complete, the change in colour scheme and other changes were reported in an article in the Journal in June 1984 (copy attached). • The change in colour scheme was no doubt accompanied by much thinking and agonising (TVhat would the Guardians say? etc). A similar change - from a 1950/60s colour scheme to an historic scheme - was attempted several years ago, at Como, the property of the National Trust in Victoria. A very detailed examination of the fabric of the building was undertaken by Peter Lovell, and a scheme replicating exactly an historic scheme was proposed-.

Sydney Gateway is comprised of two projects: · Sydney Gateway road project (the project) · Port Botany Rail Duplication – to duplicate a three kilometre section of the Port Botany freight rail line. NSW Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and Sydney Airport Corporation Limited propose to build the Sydney Gateway road project, to provide new direct high capacity road connections linking the Sydney motorway network with Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney Airport). The location of Sydney Gateway, including the project, is shown on Figure 1.1. Roads and Maritime has formed the view that the project is likely to significantly affect the environment.

D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827), was born near Portadown, Ireland, the sixth of the eight children of D'Arcy Wentworth and his wife, Martha Dickson. He served as an ensign in the First Armagh Company of the Irish Volunteers while also serving an apprenticeship for the medical profession. Later, while living in London, he found himself in financial difficulties and at the Old Bailey sessions beginning on 12 December 1787 he was thrice charged with highway robbery: twice he was found not guilty and in the third acquitted for lack of evidence. At the conclusion of the case the prosecutor informed the judge: 'My Lord, Mr. Wentworth, the prisoner at the Bar, has taken a passage to go in a fleet to Botany Bay and has obtained an appointment in it as Assistant Surgeon and desires to be discharged immediately'. Wentworth arrived at Port Jackson in the transport Neptune on 28 June 1790. On 1 August he sailed in the Surprize for Norfolk Island where he began his Australian career as an assistant in the hospital. He was appointed superintendent of convicts at Norfolk Island from 10 September 1791, returning to Sydney in February 1796 where he was appointed one of the assistant surgeons of the colony and later principal surgeon of the Civil Medical Department.

The Governors who administered the Colony before the answer was found in wool encouraged investigations and experiments which might praise a supply of plant fibre, de-stuffs, tannin, gum 384 or timber. In the best Antipodean tradition, one of the earliest and most industrious botanical exeerimentalists was a convict, John 385 Hutchison, who in 1810 announced from a Portsmouth hulk that "experiments perfo red under a multitude of inconveniences not to be removed in a :lace of this description", had shown "Botany Bay Oak" to 386 be "one of the most valuable woods in the British Empire".
