This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Autumn is upon us and here in Orange there is a definite chill in the air, especially early in the mornings, and the leaves have begun to turn. After the long. hot summer it reminds us all why it's such a wonderful place to live. This edition of our Newsletter has some great stories. Trudi Mayfield, our Centenary of World War I in Orange Project Officer has provided details of the last of the World War One casualties from the Orange District. This has been an amazing project and Trudi's research has made sure that the stories from this period are recorded for future generations. Make sure you follow the links through for further details. In the aftermath of the War Orange faced another challenge, the global influenza pandemic of 1919. The story of how that tragedy effected Orange is detailed below and contributes to wider research being done by the Royal Australian Historical Society. There is also a report on the Archives Resources Kit training offered by our friends from NSW State Archives - the session was a great success with lots of positive feedback. On the subject of seminars we're excited to announce that we will be hosting the RAHS Regional Seminar in Orange on Saturday 7 September from 10.00 to 4.00. There will be three speakers and they will cover Land Titles, Organising your convict research, Criminal court records and Trove.

  • Orange Blossoms
    A cultural history of gardens in Orange and district Dedicated to the gardeners of Orange past and present Their imagination, creativity, knowledge and hard work enriches the environment and our experience of the city and its surrounds. The parks, gardens and trees are perhaps the most loved feature of Orange. This exhibition honours the contribution that gardens and gardeners make to the beauty and amenity of the city and district. It is not a complete history but the start of a project to better record the region’s garden history. Gardens are the most ephemeral works of creation. They are always changing in a cycle of growth and decay. And they can disappear leaving few traces of their glory and no records of their maker. Gardens are not signed like a portrait or documented in land title records. Nevertheless they are a central part of the creative history and cultural heritage of Orange. What would Orange be like without them?

  • Conservation Management Plan
    ,, .r '1f\/leC~..J' FURTHER RESEARCH The following are suggestions for areas of further physical research : • A landscape assessment of the property generally. This should include the preparation of a detailed site plan showing significant plantings, their condition / rarity and able to assist with on-going maintenance and management of the external areas. • An outline archaeological site plan showing the areas of sensitivity. This drawing could be developed from the above landscape site plan and would assist in the management of the grounds and future development ideas. • A site plan prepared, possibly with the assistance of the Dalton family, showing the location of Dalton era elements within the Duntryleague landscape. This would include those elements noted on the aerial photograph on page 42 of this CMP and any others discovered in further research. • A fabric assessment of the interiors of the significant buildings. This should include the preparation of a detailed set of floor plans / roof plan and able to assist with on-going maintenance and management of the buildings. The fabric assessment would identify significant fabric and could be set up in a similar manner as the external summary sheets. The assessments could also include routine maintenance recommendations for specific elements such as stained glass, tessellated tiles, polished joinery etc. REFERENCES Published / Unpublished Material The History of Duntryleague, Don Mearns, published by OGC Centennial Committee, 1986 The Daltons of Orange, Robert I Bruce, published by

  • SSA Golf History
    SSA Golf History These Championships commenced in 1977 but were preceded by seven years of annual interstate competition between New South Wales and Queensland boy’s teams. Since 1970, these two teams have been competing for the “Gavin Semple Shield” in honour of an Inspector of Schools in Queensland who donated the trophy to the competition. 1977 INAUGURAL CHAMPIONSHIP - Sydney, New South Wales. Held in New South Wales at Avondale, Asquith, Killara and Monash Golf Clubs from the 22nd to 26th August. Nine State teams (each of 8 players) competed with girls and boys teams from ACT, NSW, QLD, and Vic and a boys team from SA taking part. The competition included a full round of teams match play and an 18 hole Individual Championship for girls and boys. 1978 SECOND CHAMPIONSHIPS - Brisbane, Queensland. Held at the Virginia Golf Club from 4th to 9th September. NSW, QLD, SA and VIC, each fielded boys and girls teams whilst the ACT, and NT, only took part with boys teams; ie 80 competitors. Individual Championships extended to a 36-hole event. 1979 THIRD CHAMPIONSHIPS - Melbourne, Victoria. Held in Victoria at Patterson River and Rossdale Golf Clubs from 24th to 29th August. Again 80 competitors took part in the Teams Match play and Individual 36 holes event with representation by State/Territories the same as 1978. 1980 FOURTH CHAMPIONSHIPS - Adelaide, South Australia. Held in South Australia at The Grange, Thaxted Park, Marino, Flagstaff Hill and Riverside Golf Clubs from 25th to 29th August. This Championship was of historic note in that PGF provided greatly increased sponsorship.
