Richard Heathcote, Director of Carrick Hill Historic House and Garden, Springfield, South Australia introduces the Museum of Australian Gardening which is being established there.

Based on the gift of a vast collection of historic garden tools, this is an exciting national resource.
The Old Mole was a passion and business run for over 14 years by Richard Bird and Lynne Walker of Armidale, collecting, sourcing and commissioning authentic reproductions and selling antique and quality garden tools. They closed the business in 2011, donating their collection of over 700 items to Carrick Hill, where Australia’s first gardening museum is being set up. Also donated were books, trade catalogues and ephemera. The museum will interpret the garden’s formation at Carrick Hill in the mid-20th century and allow for display, study and teaching of a wider aspect of Australian garden history. It will include design, plant selection and how gardening developed.
The Australian Garden History Society is developing an official relationship with the Australian Museum of Gardening for a five year period from 2013. The museum will re-introduce Carrick Hill’s productive gardens which with its orchard will be used as demonstration areas for classes.
Date: Wednesday 14 August, 6pm for 7pm start – 8.30pm finish. Preceded by a short Australian Garden History Society AGM.
Venue: Annie Wyatt Room, National Trust (NSW) Centre, Observatory Hill

5. Port Arthur Talks, Thursday 8 August
Cold and wet: sealing in Antarctica in the 1820s
presented by Dr Michael Pearson AO
By the late 18th century sealing for fur seal skins had become a global industry. As new sealing grounds were located ships from Britain and the USA, in particular, moved in to exploit the rookeries. The South Shetland Islands, just off the Antarctic Peninsula south of Cape Horn, were discovered in 1819, and sealers flocked there, making the seals almost extinct by 1826.
ALL WELCOME!
When: Thursday 8 August 2013 at 5.30 p.m.
Where: Junior Medical Officer’s Conference Room
More information on the event is available in the Cold and Wet (Port Arthur Talks) flier.

Mr Butler said he was pleased that Professor Lawrence will continue to provide leadership and advice to government as Chair of the Australian Heritage Council.
“During Professor Lawrence’s time as Chair, the Australian Heritage Council has been involved in some of Australia’s most significant national heritage listings, including our largest ever heritage listing, The West Kimberley in Western Australia,” Mr Butler said.
“In making my announcement I am also delighted to appoint three new members to the council, Ms Kate Cark, Dr Jak Ah Kit and Dr Jennifer Whinam. All three will bring extensive experience and expertise to their role as council members, particularly in the field of Indigenous heritage, ecology and botany, historic heritage and heritage management.”

11. Japanese ‘Mother-Shipwreck’ Proteced for Future Generations – The Hon Mark Butler MP media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following media release from the Hon Mark Butler, dated 28 July 2013.
Japanese ‘Mother-Shipwreck’ Proteced for Future Generations
The only known wreck of a Japanese pearling mother-ship in Australian waters will be protected by a 200 hectare Protected Zone, announced today by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Water Mark Butler.
Located 60 kilometres off the Central Arnhem Land coast, the wreck of the Sanyo Maru sits on its keel at a depth of 27 metres and is the only known shipwreck of its type in Australia.
On 1 July 1937, Sanyo Maru, with its crew of 20, and heavily overloaded with harvested cargo, was hit by an unseasonal storm and headed seaward to find protection. The Sanyo Maru ‘rolled’ twice and then floundered and sank.
Some crew members managed to get away in a dinghy while others clung to floating debris. Survivors were picked up by other boats. Two crew members died in the sinking: a pearl diver and the ship’s purser.
Mr Butler said the Sanyo Maru is significant, not only because it is the sole wreck of a Japanese pearling mother-ship near the Australian coast, but also because of the site’s remarkable condition and the significance of its archaeological relics.
“The unique collection of relics at the site can provide us with unparalleled insight into the operation and technology of the pearl shell trade during the 1930s, and the day to day lives of the crews who sailed the ships and harvested the pearl shell,” Mr Butler said.
“We must ensure the protection of this unique shipwreck, an important part of Australian history, which is why I have decided to place a Protected Zone under the Australian Government’s Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976.
“The lack of historical and contemporary information about the pearl shell trade in Australia reinforces the necessity of protecting the wreck of the Sanyo Maru and its relics as a significant part of Australian and Japanese shared maritime history.”
The Japanese Ambassador, His Excellency Mr Yoshitaka Akimoto, welcomed the announcement.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation of the establishment of a Protected Zone around the Sanyo Maru pearling mother-ship’s wreck site,” Mr Akimoto said.
“While expressing my deepest sympathy to those who lost their lives in the sinking, I hope that this will serve to remind people in Australia and Japan of the long and firm ties between our countries and to strengthen the friendship between our two countries.”
Further information on the Sanyo Maru
The Sanyo Maru was a steel Japanese pearling mother-ship used to support a fleet of Japanese pearling luggers in the seas off Central Arnhem Land during the 1930s. At the height of the pearl shell industry 190 pearling luggers were operating in the Arafura Sea, with each lugger averaging a crew of 14.
The pearling mother-ships provided food, diesel fuel, wood for cooking fires and fresh water to the pearling luggers. Australian and foreign crews from all pearling vessels were not permitted to make landfall.

16. DIY Heritage – communityheritage.net.au – The Hon Mark Butler & Daryl Melham MP media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following joint media release from the Hon Mark Butler & Daryl Melham MP, dated 30 July 2013.
DIY Heritage – communityheritage.net.au
A new website launched today will allow people to add their stories to the collection of national heritage.
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Water, Mark Butler today joined Federal Member for Banks Daryl Melham at the Hurstville City Museum and Gallery to launch the site, saying it will change the way we approach heritage in Australia.
“This is a free, community-focussed site developed to let Australians upload the stories that are important to them and their community,” Mr Butler said.
“You can create a profile of your own community group, create your own page, make announcements, create links and share information. It makes heritage a much more grassroots function of the community, rather than a bureaucratic function of government.
“Once registered, users will be able to upload content including text, photos and video linked from YouTube.
“This is the first national portal dedicated to heritage information and stories, whether it is about important cultural stories, places of natural wonder that make up our local communities, or significant historic sites.
Mr Melham said the new website would be a big hit in Banks.
“I know hundreds of people here in Banks will take the opportunity to tell their stories and build a tapestry of knowledge about our community,” Mr Melham said.
“Over time communityheritage.net.au will become a rich source of information for people to discover the unique stories and heritage that make us Australian.”
Mr Butler said the Australian Council of National Trusts and the Federation of Australian Historical Societies had already started uploading their stories and there are already over 150 stories on the website.
“I would like to thank the two organisations for their support during the website’s development and I look forward to their continued support.”
The site is located at Australia’s Community Heritage.
