1. Watermarks, Water’s Heritage Conference – Pre-Conference Tour: Call for Expressions of Interest
Water infrastructure can be dramatically sited but often makes for contentious heritage. Pass through some of the most beautiful country in the south-west of Victoria, wonderfully refreshed in the last 18 months by drought-breaking rains. Approximately twelve major sites, along with many others from Geelong (Barwon Water and Fyansford) through to Warrnambool (Proudfoot’s Boathouse and Wannon Water) and Port Fairy (King George Square and the internationally significant battery and guns) and on to Tyrendarra, have been chosen to complement the conference themes of aquaculture, early exploration, transport and communication, industry, fresh and waste water infrastructure. The tour includes the sound and light show ‘Shipwrecked’ at Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village. It also includes a very special visit to the Lake Condah fish and eel traps (weather permitting), part of the subtle and inspirational Budj Bim (Mount Eccles) cultural landscape that is under consideration for World Heritage nomination. The return journey includes the spectacular Great Ocean Road, Twelve Apostles and the majestic Cape Otway Lighthouse. So why not join the pre-conference tour?
Planning is well under way. Led by Dr Ursula De Jong, the tour will leave from outside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) at 8.30 am on Tuesday 25 October and return to the same spot by 4.30 pm in time for the Australia ICOMOS AGM and Welcome Reception on the Polly Woodside on Thursday 27 October. The cost per person, twin share, is likely to be about $400 including travel, motel accommodation, most meals, tour notes and all entry fees. A single supplement will be available. The tour can only proceed with a sufficient number of registrations but numbers are strictly limited. The conference committee is asking for expressions of interest to assist with planning.
Please complete the Pre Conference Tour booking form and email it to conference manager Bradley Hayden to advise him of your interest as soon as possible.
A final decision on whether the tour can proceed will be made by Wednesday 7 October.

2. Australia ICOMOS ISC/NSC Funding Program
At the recent Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee (EC) meeting in Fremantle in August 2011, the EC endorsed the implementation of a new ISC/NSC Funding Program to provide financial assistance for events, projects or programs that promote and strengthen Australian membership of ISCs and NSCs. The program aims to recognise Australia ICOMOS’s commitment to provide support for the work of AI members active in International Scientific Committees (ISC) or National Scientific Committees (NSC).
Australia ICOMOS has available a fund of up to $5,000 for the 2011-2012 financial year, and applications are currently open from Australia ICOMOS members who are also members of an ISC or NSC. Grants will be available to a maximum of $2,000 per annum. Grants are intended for discrete, one-off events, meetings or projects, and will not apply to funding for ongoing programs. Grants may be applied for in consecutive years by any ISC or NSC. Allocation will be competitive.
Eligible activities for the funding program may include, but are not restricted to:
- An annual meeting of all Australian ISC / NSC members
- An event for an individual ISC, NSC or group of ISCs
- Support for an international ISC meeting in Australia (Note: Australia ICOMOS is unable to fund the full extent of such a meeting, however if an international meeting was planned for Australia through other external funding, AI members would be eligible to apply for this fund as a small part of its budget)
- Discrete projects or programs of works that aim to promote Australian membership of ISCs or NSCs and actively engages with the AI membership
- Discrete projects or programs of works that allow AI members to support the work of an ISC or NSC and that has some benefit or relevance for Australian members
Procedure for applications for the ISC/NSC Funding Program
- Any Australia ICOMOS member who is also a member of an ISC or NSC is eligible to apply for a grant
- The applicant must demonstrate how the grant will broadly benefit the ISC or NSC and, in particular, members of that ISC or NSC in Australia. Priority will not be given to requests where the benefit is to an individual member
- The grant is not available to cover personal travel expenses to attend ISC or NSC meetings
- When assessing the merits of a particular application for a grant AI will take in to account the nature of the proposal, the potential benefits to the ISC or NSC (in particular to the Australian membership), and the ability of the proposal to actively engage the AI membership
- As a condition of funding, successful applicants will be expected to submit a written report to the Australia ICOMOS Executive on the project/program awarded funding, and a short version of this report for inclusion in the e-news, so that other members are informed about issues currently under discussion by that ISC or NSC
- Grant recipients will also be required to provide AI with an acquittal report of the project within one year of the grant being awarded. Copies of receipts or invoices for goods and services must be provided. Any shortfall between the grant and the expenses incurred will need to be returned to Australia ICOMOS
Please email all applications to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by COB 30 September 2011.

6. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talks Series
Pacific Solutions towards World Heritage Island Abandonment, Climate Change, and Tangible / Intangible Pasts
Christian Reepmeyer
Christian will recount aspects of the current World Heritage nomination of the Rock Islands/Southern Lagoon in the Republic of Palau (Western Micronesia) as a mixed cultural/natural property on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Christian, as part of an ANU team (with Palau and Australian government support), assessed prehistoric stonework villages, rock art and burial sites in the Rock Islands in 2010. The Rock Islands provide an opportunity to combine oral traditions of island abandonment with scientific data about human-environment interactions in the past. The abandonment of the Rock Islands in the 16 – 17th century is argued as a consequence of climatic change and associated economic and socio-political factors.
Christian Reepmeyer is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Archaeology and Natural History, ANU. He has assessed cultural heritage sites in Africa, Europe, Australia and the Pacific, and participated in expeditions to Namibia, Sudan, Chad, Seychelles, Vanuatu and Palau. More recent activities include work in Western and Northern Australia. Currently, as well as the Palau project, he is involved in the World Heritage nomination of ‘The Ancient Capitals of the Kingdom of Tonga’.
Members and the public are welcome: Refreshments will be available appropriate to the talk’s topic! This is part of a series of talks organised by Australia ICOMOS.
Time & Date: 5 .00-6.30pm, Thursday 22 September 2011 – the talk will start at 5.30pm
Venue: Menzies Room, National Archives of Australia, East Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side)
RSVP: To Marilyn Truscott

7. Heritage without borders: making critical connections
Heritage without borders: making critical connections
9 December 2011
Canberra
The Donald Horne Institute for Cultural Heritage Research Cluster presents a one day colloquium which seeks to transgress the traditional boundaries between the distinct fields of heritage studies, such as archaeology, museums, memory, landscape studies and materials conservation, and to explore connections and differences in their dealings with people, place and things. The colloquium will feature multidisciplinary engagement with questions such as:
- Is there a single underlying theory of heritage?
- What impacts do the various theories and practices of heritage have on people and environments?
- Does heritage preserve a cultural legacy or create it?
- What are the emerging critical themes for the practice and theory of heritage?
Speakers include Kylie Message, Laurajane Smith, Jane Lydon, David Jones, Sarah Colley, Lindy Allen, Denis Byrne and more….
We hope you will join us for this exciting event.
Further information, including venue, registration fees and a detailed program, will be available soon. As numbers will be limited, please send an expression of interest via email to Pamela Fabricius if you wish to attend to :

8. Australian Archaeological Association Conference 2011
The Sociality of Archaeology
1 – 3 December 2011
Toowoomba, Queensland
The theme of the Australian Archaeological Association Conference (AAA 2011) touches on the various elements of our discipline that construct archaeology as a cultural and social undertaking in both its theory and practice. The conference will address issues such as the contemporary politics of archaeology, the place of indigenous perspectives in archaeological interpretation, the role of the public and the media in archaeology (and vice versa), how our theoretical perspectives have changed with our shifting understanding of science, technology and culture, and how our own global positioning within the discipline has affected the culture of archaeology and the archaeology of culture.

12. Afternoons at the Macarthurs
Dr Sue Rosen’s most recent publication, Australia’s oldest house: Surgeon John Harris and Experiment Farm Cottage, challenges the dating of Experiment Farm Cottage to 1835, and the methodologies employed to ascertain it. Sue puts forward a case that Experiment Farm Cottage was constructed in the mid-1790s. If she is right, then Australian architectural history needs a rewrite and commonly held concepts of life in the infant colony need revision. In this talk Sue discusses key evidence and the important role that historic context plays in understanding the evidence. A lively discussion not to be missed!

13. RHSV EVENT: From battlefields to blackboards
Victorians are invited to explore the Great War’s influence on our teacher-soldiers, as the Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) presents its September Talk Topic: War’s Evil and Good.
To be held on Tuesday 13 September at 5.45pm, this fascinating discussion by expert Dr Rosalie Triolo will examine the effects of wartime experiences on our state school teachers and the impact on their careers and daily lives.
“No-one emerges unchanged from any experience of war, and the many teacher-soldiers of Victoria’s Education Department were no different,” said Dr Triolo.
“Some wanted to return to the classroom but couldn’t because of profound physical and psychological injuries.
“Some chose to depart teaching altogether for new professions; some returned to schools yet battled with their injuries; and some returned to blend quietly into anonymity.
“Yet there were others who managed to salvage something distinctly positive from their experiences and continued to teach.
“And, whilst no one would have chosen for their generation to experience the war, a few believed that the knowledge, skills or values they acquired as a consequence enabled them to be better teachers.
“Our discussion will explore these many stories including the select few that found, what the Director of Education at the time described as, ‘some soul of goodness in things evil’.”
Dr Rosalie Triolo is a History Education lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University and the President of the History Teachers Association of Victoria.
An award-winning historian with a passion for military history, Rosalie was granted an Australian Postgraduate Award to undertake her PhD: The Victorian Education Department and the Great War, 1914-18. Her thesis was judged the best in the Faculty of Education in 2008 and was awarded a Monash University Mollie Holman Medal in 2009.
The event will be held in the former Australian Army Medical Corps Drill Hall, an impressive Art Deco space, listed on the Victorian Heritage Register for its state-wide architectural and historical significance.
