Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

(Oscar Wilde, letter to Constance Wilde from Edinburgh, 16 December 1884.) A decade ago, in his chapter for The Cambridge History of Australian Literature, Ken Stewart voiced what has long been the conventional understanding of Wilde and his relationship with Britain’s Australian colonies. ‘The image of aristocratic dandyism [Wilde] affected’, Stewart asserted, was the reverse of typically Australian.

  • Adam Lindsay Gordon - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Adam Lindsay Gordon - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Adam Lindsay Gordon(19 October 1833 – 24 June 1870) Gordon was born at Fayal in the Azores, son of Captain Adam Durnford Gordon who had married his first cousin, Harriet Gordon, both of whom were descended from Adam of Gordon of the ballad. Captain Gordon, who had retired from the Bengal cavalry and taught Hindustani, was then staying at the Azores for the sake of his wife's health. After living on the island of Madeira, they went to England and lived at Cheltenham in 1840. Gordon was sent to Cheltenham College in 1841 when he was only seven, but after he had been there a year he was sent to a school kept by the Rev. Samuel Ollis Garrard in Gloucestershire. He attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in 1848, where he was a contemporary and friend of Charles George Gordon (no relation, later 'Gordon of Khartoum') and Thomas Bland Strange (later known as 'Gunner Jingo'). There Gordon appears to have been good at sports, but not studious and certainly undisciplined – and like Richard Henry Horne, he was asked to leave. Gordon was again admitted a pupil at Cheltenham College. He was not there for long – he appears to have left in the middle of 1852 – but the story that he was expelled from Cheltenham is without foundation. Then Gordon was sent to the Royal Grammar School Worcester in 1852. Gordon began to lead a wild and aimless life, contracted debts, and was a great anxiety to his father, who at last decided that his son should go to Australia and make a fresh start in 1853 to join the mounted police with a letter of introduction to the Governor.

Council is required to prepare and adopt a Council Plan every four years. It’s an important document that outlines the vision for the four year term of the Council and includes the objectives, strategies and actions which need to be implemented and undertaken to ensure this vision is realised. The 2021- 2025 Council Plan will be guided by the work already undertaken in the development of the 2041 community vision framework, which is the longer term strategic plan for the next 20 years. There will be a number of opportunities for community members to contribute their idea to the 2021-2025 Council Plan, says Southern Grampian Shire Council Mayor Bruach Colliton. “Community members will be able to participate in the planning process in a number of ways including joining virtual sessions, filling in postcards and submitting online forms. Face-to-face gatherings have also been planned, with every township having the opportunity to meet the Mayor, CEO and Councillors to share their vision for the next four years,” Cr Colliton said. “In developing our last Council Plan, these community sessions were really beneficial and Council was able to get a solid understanding of the things our residents wanted Council to focus on.

While the current lockdown meant that RSL could not conduct the usual dawn service at the Cenotaph on Bell Street, at dawn this year a small service was conducted personally by the RSL President at the Cenotaph and wreaths were laid here and at the memorial in the Avenue of Honour on the road to Hamilton. Councillor Cathy Armstrong laid a wreath on the cenotaph later in the morning on behalf of the Southern Grampians Shire Council. It was also pleasing to note that a good number of residents conducted their own driveway services at dawn as had been recommended by the National Office of the RSL. A wreath was laid on the memorial at the start of the Avenue of Honour The Cenotaph on the roundabout in Bell Street showing the flag at half mast and the Wreaths laid earlier in the morning Wreaths and candles at the base of the Cenotaph.
