3. Australia ICOMOS – Sydney Talk Series
Two papers on the challenges of conserving our Polar Heritage
Living and Working in Antarctica for the Mawson’s Huts Foundation: Stirling Smith
Since 1997 the Mawson’s Huts Foundation has mounted ten expeditions to conserve the Mawson’s Huts site at Cape Denison, Antarctica. The conservation approach at this site, driven by the Mawson’s Huts Management Plan, is quite different to that being used at other Heroic Era huts in the region including those in the Ross Sea. Stirling will talk about the most recent expedition to Cape Denison in 2010-11, the future plans for work at the site and the challenges of living and working in one of the most remote heritage places in the world.
Stirling Smith is a Sydney based archaeologist and heritage consultant. He has undertaken maritime and terrestrial archaeology projects throughout Australia and in Canada, England and the Solomon Islands and is a former curator at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Stirling is an Expert member of the International Polar Heritage Committee. He worked in Antarctica as the archaeologist for the Mawson’s Huts Foundation 2010-11 expedition and will be returning to Cape Denison in 2013.
Ross Island Huts Restoration Program and Update from the International Polar Heritage Committee: Julian Bickersteth
2012 is a big year in the centenary of Antarctic exploration stakes, with Mawson, Scott and Amundsen all on the continent. The impending centenaries of these expeditions have helped drive major programs of conservation over the last few years. In March the ICOMOS IPHC (International Polar Heritage Committee) met in Hobart to review where these programs are at within the context of broader conservation work being undertaken in Polar Regions. Julian will report on both the IPHC meeting and also the particular conservation work being undertaken in the Ross Sea region.
Julian Bickersteth is President of the International Polar Heritage Committee, Vice President of the International Institute for Conservation and managing director of ICS. He is the technical adviser to the Ross Island Huts Restoration Program.
Members of the public are welcome!

5. Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific Seminar, Deakin University (VIC)
Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage seminar will be held on Wednesday 29 August. Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna will be speaking on ‘Muse/Museal – A Fashion Exhibition and a Grotto’.
The seminar will outline Elizabeth’s post graduate research that is grappling with curating the metaphoric and haptic in exhibitions. Her PhD project is a series of ‘studies’ on the display of fashion and hand-crafted objects. The PhD began as a thesis on the history of artificial flower making in the 19th century, but has transformed into a project based investigation that asks how this history can be told in an exhibition format. This proposal is complicated by three display challenges – atmosphere, touch and movement, asking how the actual physical gesture of making can be interpreted. In this research ‘museal’ is defined as the material restriction of a static display. The PhD has become a unique opportunity for a mid-career curator to work outside the margins, away from museological conventions and institutional protocols to heuristically test possibilities.
Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna is a curator in the Cultural Collections Team of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), whose responsibilities include the Trust’s outstanding costume collection. Elizabeth has curated a suite of exhibitions at Como House on mid-twentieth century Melbourne fashion and design. This trilogy of shows followed the process of fashion making from the workroom – to the salon – to the magazine. Elizabeth also teaches Fashion Studies with at RMIT. The module ‘The Cabinet of Fashion’ focuses on the historical ‘quotation’ in fashion through object, text and image. She is currently completing her PhD at RMIT University entitled ‘The Lost Workshop’, a project based exploration of the artisanal production of artificial flowers in the nineteenth century.
All welcome. Free of charge.

9. Grants for Environment, Sustainability and Heritage organisations – Hon. Tony Burke media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following press release from Hon. Tony Burke, dated 15 August 2012.
The Gillard Labor Government will be supporting community based volunteer organisations that work to preserve the environment or our heritage.
Minister for Sustainability Tony Burke today called for applications under the 2012-13 Grants to Voluntary Environment, Sustainability and Heritage Organisations (GVESHO) program.
“These grants are part of the Gillard Government’s ongoing commitment to support groups across the nation to value and protect our natural environment and heritage,” Mr Burke said.
“There are many great organisations working everyday at local, regional, state and national levels to achieve better protection for our environment and heritage.
“These groups and volunteers work tirelessly and make a real difference in our communities.
“That is why we are continuing the GVESHO program, which has provided funding for environment and heritage groups for many years.
“Last year, I expanded the program to also support sustainability organisations with their ongoing administrative costs, which has been welcomed by a broad range of community groups.”
Last year 163 not-for-profit community-based environment, sustainability and heritage groups received funding under the program to assist with the day to day running costs of their organisation.
The GVESHO program is just one way that the Australian Government supports organisations to make a contribution to the sustainable management of Australia’s natural and environmental resources and to our valuable cultural heritage.
Grant guidelines and application forms are available on the DSEWPAC website.

12. Blackmailing the Governor? talk, Port Arthur, Tasmania
Blackmailing the Governor? The story of Australia’s first successful strike
Presented by Ralph Hawkins
It was a time of revolution and the unexpected eruption of a volcano and the end of a war brought an influx of convicts to New South Wales. What to do? Create a public works programme to employ these new arrivals. The provision of extra accommodation in Sydney led to an increase in task work. But an elite group of convicts refused to do it without extra rations. The strike lasted for three weeks at a very inconvenient time for Governor Macquarie. But the men got their way.
Date & time: Wednesday 22 August at 5.30pm
Venue: Junior Medical Officer’s Conference Room, Port Arthur Historic Site

13. “The Destruction of Heritage in Iraq Since 2003” lecture, Melbourne Museum
Since the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces in 2003, Iraq has endured an extraordinary period of destruction of cultural heritage. This has included the attack on the Iraq National Museum in the very earliest days of the war. Since then, Iraq’s Mesopotamian heritage has also been systematically smuggled out of the country while coalition forces have converted key sites such as the ancient city of Babylon into modern military bases.
This lecture will examine the recent fate of Iraq’s Mesopotamian heritage and discusses the urgent need for appropriate management and protection.
Speaker Biography
Dr Benjamin Isakhan is Australian Research Council Discovery (DECRA) Research Fellow at the Centre for Citizenship and Globalization, Deakin University. He has published widely on the politics and history of Iraq and his current research includes the ARC-funded project ‘Measuring the Destruction of Heritage and Spikes of Violence in Iraq’.

16. Review of NSW Environment Planning and Assessment Act 1979 – GREEN PAPER
The Green Paper of the NSW Planning System Review, entitled Green Paper – A New Planning System for New South Wales, was released for public comment on 14 July 2012.

- The Green Paper is the government’s response to the report of the independent panel that was established in 2011 to review the NSW planning system. Following extensive consultation the independent panel, led by former NSW Government ministers Tim Moore and Ron Dyer, has produced a two-volume report with 374 recommendations – The Way Ahead For Planning in NSW.
- A review of international best practice in planning law, which was commissioned to help inform the preparation of the Green Paper, has also been released and is provided on the website. The review was conducted by Leslie Stein, scholar in residence at the Centre for Environmental Legal Studies at Pace University in New York.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 14 September 2012. The documents for the Green Paper are available by clicking here.
