4. Australia ICOMOS Contact Point – ICOMOS General Assembly, Paris 28 November-2 December 2011: Looking for a volunteer!
For past General Assemblies (GA), attending Australian members have benefited immensely from the efforts of an Australian co-ordinator and contact point. The role of this person has been primarily to collect names and contacts for those planning on attending and to act as a point of contact and communication exchange in Paris for our various attempts to get our Australian contingent together. The latter involves gatherings for strategic discussions in relation to voting, resolutions etc, and the arrangement of an Australian dinner. We usually include our New Zealand colleagues in these invitations, and my limited experience is that there is a growing number who appear eager to nominate themselves as honorary Australians for the night of the dinner! We are looking for a volunteer who is planning on attending the Paris GA and would like to take on this co-ordinating role. There will of course be others on the ground to assist with arrangements and the dissemination of information.
If you are interested in taking on this role or have any queries could you please send me an email or ring on 0409 344 598 by 7 May 2011.
With thanks,
Jane Harrington

6. International Day for Monuments and Sites: VICOMITES Members’ event – visit to the Murtoa Stick Shed, 16 April 2011
VISIT TO THE MURTOA STICK SHED
2PM, SATURDAY 16 APRIL 2011
Martin Zweep, Heritage Victoria has kindly organised an opportunity for members to visit the Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store, more commonly referred to as the Murtoa Stick Shed, where essential repairs are nearing completion. Martin will explain what works that have been undertaken and why.
The Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store, originally the No.1 Murtoa Shed, is located within the Murtoa Grain Terminal, adjacent to the grain elevator tower and railway line. The shed is 280m long, 60m wide and 19m high at the ridge with a capacity of 3.4 million bushels. The hipped corrugated iron roof of the shed is supported on approximately 600 unmilled hardwood poles set in a concrete slab floor and braced with iron tie rods. These poles are the reason for use of the term “stick shed”. With its vast gabled interior and the long rows of poles the space has been likened to the nave of a cathedral.
The Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store is architectural significance as a rare surviving example of the ‘stick shed’ building type, a long horizontal bulk wheat storage shed constructed of timber and corrugated iron. The Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store is the earliest and only remaining of three large sheds of this type built in Victoria during the early 1940s.
The Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store is of historical and scientific (technical) significance for its association with an important change in the mid twentieth century from storage and transport of grain in bags to the storage and transport of loose grain in bulk. The Marmalake/Murtoa Grain Store is of historical significance for its associations with the combined impact of the Second World War and Australia’s remote geographic location on Victoria’s wheat trade, and particularly the resulting requirement for emergency bulk storage.
More detail about the building, including the full Statement of Significance, is available from here.
It will be a rare opportunity to see inside this magnificent structure.
The visit will be followed by afternoon tea at 3.30pm at the Murtoa Mechanics Institute, prepared by the Ladies Committee, at $5 per head.
People will have to make their own transport arrangements. Partners and children welcome.
Please RSVP to Megan McDougall by email by COB Friday 8 April. Please advise if you need a lift, or are able to offer a lift to other members.

7. Stonework Investigation at Gallop House – an Australian Heritage Week WA event
Stonework Investigation at Gallop House
22 Birdwood Parade, Dalkeith
Saturday 16 April 2011
10am – 2pm
The National Trust of Australia (WA) is undertaking work to investigate the condition of the north wall of Gallop House. An area of cement render will be removed and will hopefully shed light on: the original construction and finish of the building; the condition of the building and effectiveness of previous repairs; whether the house was built in two stages; and the possible order of construction.
The team comprises Alan Kelsall of Kelsall Binet Architects and Building Conservationist Piero Casellati, with conservation staff of the National Trust.
The Trust is opening this work to the public to highlight the ways in which the process of collecting and analysing information before making decisions can add substantially to our understanding of important questions about a place.
Gallop House has cultural heritage significance as the oldest private residence within the City of Nedlands, and its close associated with the Gallop family who were amongst the first European settlers associated with farming in the district. It is a fine example of Victorian Georgian style and is a Perth landmark occupying a prime location in a prominent landscaped setting and, being particularly noticeable from Melville Water.

11. Saving Australia’s Heritage – MayDay call goes out
Australia’s archives, galleries, libraries, museums and heritage places are gearing up for the national MayDay campaign in a bid to protect the nation’s heritage from avoidable disasters. The campaign – beginning 1 May 2011 – is organised by Blue Shield Australia.
Dr Jonathan Sweet, chair of Blue Shield Australia, said: “We are urging all people involved in cultural organisations to think disaster-preparedness during the month of May. People can get involved by taking at least one step to prepare for disaster response.”
“Bushfires and floods have been devastating for Australian communities but recent events in Japan are a reminder that disasters may have regional or global consequences. The tragic losses of life and cultural property emphasise the importance of disaster preparedness. Not enough of Australia’s cultural organisations have up-to-date disaster plans that will help to prevent the devastating loss of significant cultural property—putting at risk the things that embody the memories and values that help make up community identities.”
“MayDay is a campaign designed to encourage people to get to know their local fire-fighters and police in a bid to get pointers on safety and preparedness, to take time out to eliminate hazards such as blocked fire exits, improper storage of paints and solvents, or to update a neglected disaster plan.”
Dr Jonathan Sweet can be contacted on 0400 920 790
Find out more about the origins of MayDay (MayDay 2011 – Background Flyer) and what you can do to get involved (MayDay 2011 – General Flyer).
What is the Blue Shield?
The Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It is the symbol specified in the 1954 Hague Convention for marking cultural sites to give them protection from attack in the event of armed conflict. It is also the name of an international committee set up in 1996 to work to protect the world’s cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters.
Blue Shield Committees around the globe comprise four international cultural heritage ‘pillar’ bodies:
- International Council on Archives (ICA)
- International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS)
- International Council of Museums (ICOM)
- International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
In Australia, these pillar bodies are represented respectively as follows: Council of Australasian Archives and Records Authorities (CAARA); Australia ICOMOS; ICOM Australia; Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).

The Prince’s Foundation is now inviting applications for the 2011 entry to The Prince of Wales’s Graduate Fellowships in Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism. The deadline for applications for this year’s program is 8 April 2011.
The Graduate Fellowship will commence in July 2011 and will be hosted by The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment in London, and will involve placements at The Foundation. Subject to performance, Graduate Fellows will spend a second year in a placement with committed practitioners in the United Kingdom. The second year in placement attracts a bursary of £20,000pa, subject to availability and economic conditions.
First year
The two-year programme begins with a three-week residential summer school, based next year in Wales. The Fellows will then be attached to departments of The Foundation and work within one of the three, multidisciplinary Projects teams of urban designers, architects and facilitators, promoting and implementing traditional urbanism.
Through a regular masterclass and seminar programme, Fellows will be taught by leading urbanists, traditional architects and transport reformers, and will contribute papers based on their own research. In the second year, Fellows produce a dissertation of around 16,000 words on an aspect of sustainable urbanism.
Second year
From August 2012, subject to academic performance and economic conditions, the Fellows will be seconded for one year to an appropriate architectural, planning or urbanist practice.
Eligibility
Due to a change in UK immigration laws in April 2010, only applicants holding an EU passport are currently eligible to take the programme. However, we are working to comply with the new regulations by the time the course starts, and we encourage all interested to apply on this basis. Successful applications by non-EU nationals can if necessary be deferred until next year.
