1. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talk Series
Heritage – WTF?*
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
*WTF=What’s the Future?
What’s in the May budget for Australia’s heritage places and those who care for them? Does the Australian Heritage Strategy provide a compelling vision of where we are headed? Is it where we want to go?
This talk, facilitated by Tracy Ireland* and Sandy Blair**, will offer reflections on the 2013 Australia ICOMOS conference, especially on the future of heritage practice, as a way of promoting discussion of this topic which is critical to our future.
*Tracy is a recent past member of the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee, expert member of the ICOMOS International Committee on Archaeological Heritage Management; she is Assistant Professor, Cultural Heritage, and Head of the Discipline of Humanities, University of Canberra.
**Sandy is a past member, and president, of the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee, and expert member of the ICOMOS Committee on Cultural Routes and Itineraries; she is at the Institute for Professional Practice in Heritage & the Arts & Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, Australian National University.

3. Have your say on heritage – release of the draft Australian Heritage Strategy
By Greg Hunt MP, Minister for the Environment
At the beginning of Australian Heritage Week I was delighted to release for public consultation the Draft Australian Heritage Strategy. It was appropriate that the release of the draft Strategy took place at the historic and beautifully restored Rymill House, Adelaide.
Rymill House and historic buildings like it across Australia are important touchstones for our national identity and provide their communities with an important link to the past.
Australia’s magnificent Indigenous, natural and cultural heritage places capture the events and stories that shape our nation. Together they reveal the richness and diversity of Australia’s extraordinary natural environment, evoke the spirituality, stories and culture of Indigenous Australians, and tell the story of our colonial history and the development of a modern nation.
The protection of this remarkable heritage is central to the Australian Government’s Plan for a Cleaner Environment and is a fundamental pillar of our vision for Australia.
One of my first tasks as Minister for the Environment was to announce Australian Government’s commitment to re-start and complete the Australian Heritage Strategy.
The aim of the Australian Heritage Strategy is to ensure that the way in which we identify, preserve and protect our heritage is the best it can be and is built around a central vision of our natural and cultural heritage being valued by all Australians, protected for future generations and cared for by the community.
The vision is supported by three overarching themes: national leadership; innovative partnerships; and community engagement. Each of these themes is underpinned by commitments already made by the Australian Government and proposed actions that seek to broaden community engagement in the identification, protection and celebration of our heritage.
I encourage all Australians to champion our heritage by reviewing the themes and priorities of this Strategy and see how you can become involved. Whether your area of interest or expertise is natural heritage, Indigenous heritage, early colonial or contemporary Australian heritage, I invite everyone to be part of this great national initiative to conserve and celebrate our heritage.
The Strategy is available online and is open for comment until 9 June 2014. Details on how to provide feedback are available on the Department of the Environment website.
Consultation on this draft Strategy provides an opportunity for everyone involved with Australia’s heritage to provide input into how we come together and build partnerships to strengthen our heritage from the grassroots level.

5. Port Arthur Talks, Tuesday 27 May 2014
Tasmanian Devils on the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas
presented by Stewart Huxtable
The Tasmanian Devil is listed as a threatened species due to the impact of a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), despite this a small population of devils still persists on the Peninsula. The talk will outline the broad range of conservation efforts being undertaken by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program and discuss population trends in devils on the Peninsula, the impact of DFTD on this population, and the steps being taken to secure a population of wild living, disease free devils on the Peninsula.
Stewart has been a biologist with the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program at DPIPWE for 7 years, working on the monitoring and management of both wild and captive devils. Since 2009 Stewart has been responsible for the on-ground implementation of devil management actions on the Peninsula. Stewart has a postgraduate diploma in Biodiversity Conservation and Management, and has previously worked for the World Wide Fund for Nature, The Tropical Savannas Co-operative Research Centre and Conservation Volunteers Australia.
ALL WELCOME!
When: Tuesday 27 May 2014 at 5.30pm

7. “Asia in Motion: Heritage and Transformation” conference, Singapore, July 2014
Inaugural AAS-in-Asia Conference
ASIA IN MOTION – HERITAGE AND TRANSFORMATION
NUS UTown, National University of Singapore
17-19 JULY 2014
The Asia Research Institute (ARI) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) of the National University of Singapore, in conjunction with the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), are pleased to present the inaugural AAS-in-ASIA Conference, “Asia in Motion: Heritage and Transformation,” to be held on 17-19 July 2014 in Singapore. This broad theme has attracted panel and roundtable proposals not only from humanists and social scientists but also from law, policy, civil society, journalism, and other professional fields.
This event inaugurates a series of such meetings to be held regularly at different locations in Asia. In creating a smaller version of its annual North American conference, the AAS seeks panels with a mix of scholars and reflective practitioners from Asia, the USA and other parts of the world.
The Association hopes to spark off new and fruitful areas of collaboration by bringing together Asian specialists based outside of Asia and Asian-based scholars as well as practitioners whose routine expertise is not foregrounded as “Asian”.
As a global hub linking many different parts of the world to Asia, Singapore is ideally placed to launch this enterprise. You will encounter astonishing diversity at every turn in this cosmopolitan city. We welcome you to enjoy it at all levels, from the intellectual to the technological to the culinary.

10. “Capability Brown: perception and response in a global context”, England, September 2016 – call for papers
“Capability Brown: perception and response in a global context”
University of Bath, England
9–11 September 2016
Deadline for abstracts: 31 August 2014
Download the full call for papers by clicking here
An ICOMOS-UK International Conference in collaboration with the University of Bath, in association with the Garden History Society and the National Trust, and supported by the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes.
The landscape designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) changed the face of 18th-century England. Yet Brown left no written explanation of his work. Much must be inferred from his surviving landscapes and by seeing his work in the wider context of the naturalistic style that developed in Europe and in countries influenced by Europe. In 2016 the tercentenary of his birth is being celebrated as an opportunity to reflect on his life, work, style and significance.
This international conference, organised by the ICOMOS-UK Cultural Landscapes and Historic Gardens Committee in collaboration with the University of Bath, will be one of the major events in the Capability Brown Tercentenary year. Internationally renowned researchers and practitioners will present Brown’s work in a global context and explore the ways in which it has been interpreted over the last 250 years.
With partners including the Garden History Society and the National Trust, this conference will be one of the highlights of the first-ever Capability Brown Birthday and Festival, bringing together in a national campaign a huge range of events, openings, exhibitions and publications.
For further information email ICOMOS-UK.

Monday 12 May 2014, 10.30am-4.45pm
We all pay for and benefit from Melbourne’s water infrastructure and sewerage treatment facilities, but few of us ever find out what happens behind the scenes. Hosted by staff from Museum Victoria and Melbourne Water, this is a rare opportunity to follow the path of Melbourne’s historic sewerage system from Spotswood Pumping Station, past the brick aqueducts, through the Western Treatment Plant and into Port Phillip Bay. Classified by the Trust and built with the grandeur of nineteenth century French architecture, the Spotswood Pumping Station is an architectural and engineering marvel.

17. Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) seminar, Melbourne
The next CHCAP seminar at Deakin University will be a presentation by Prof Kate Darian-Smith, University of Melbourne on “Childhood, Commemoration and Cultural Heritage”.
Abstract
This paper examines how the histories and cultural heritage of children in Australia have been publicly commemorated, and how this has altered over time. Examples range from the memorialization of the lives and deaths of white children in the colonial period to the politicized and contested public commemorations of Indigenous children removed from their families, and the recent memorials and exhibitions acknowledging children who were institutionalized or sent to Australia as child migrants. Issues raised through these case studies include the concepts of children’s rights, Indigenous rights and human rights more generally — and the connections between human rights discourse, cultural heritage and the past.
Biography
Kate Darian-Smith is Professor of Australian Studies and History, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, and Professor of Cultural Studies, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. She has published widely on many aspects of Australian history, including on memory studies and the histories of childhood and children’s play, and is co-editor (with Carla Pascoe) of Children, Childhood and Cultural Heritage (Routledge, 2013).
Date: Wednesday 28 May 2014
Time: 5.30pm
Venue: Meeting Room 3, Deakin Prime, City Campus, 3/550 Bourke Street, Melbourne
DINNER: The seminar will be followed by dinner around 7pm at Bar Humbug. Please RSVP to Yamini Narayanan by email for dinner booking.
