3. [NEW ITEM] Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid and the Happiness Index Survey

An Australian first is being launched on March 20, the International Day of Happiness, across the thirteen local government areas that make up the Central Victorian Goldfields region. The Happiness Index survey – a powerful global tool that asks communities about their quality of life – is helping put the region’s communities front and centre in tourism planning for the Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid.

The survey findings allow tourism stakeholders to consider the highs and lows of a destination’s well-being and determine what policies, projects, and actions are needed to strengthen linkages between tourism development, World Heritage management and the quality of life of host communities. Deployment of the survey is a partnership between the World Heritage bid’s thirteen local government partners, Planet Happiness and the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).

Find out more at the Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid website.

4. [NEW ITEM] AGHS Walk – Badangi Walk: A pre-1788 landscape, 28 March, 2pm AEST

James Quoyle and Phil Hunt will lead a walk on the Gadyan track of Berry Island and highlight the significance and values of the  remarkably intact Badangi landscape (Wollstonecraft foreshore), which enables an appreciation of Sydney Harbour as it was prior to 1788.

In 2019, James and his colleagues Colleen Morris and Christine Hay were acknowledged by the National Trust and the Institute of Landscape Architects, both State and National, with awards for their study: AILA (NSW) Landscape Heritage Conservation Listing Project. The study included ten sites for listing on the State Heritage Register – we hope the first to be elevated will be Badangi. The study area for this proposed listing began as a fragmented group that evolved to be understood as an amalgamation of two of the listings and the area considered essential for retaining and interpreting its heritage significance was expanded threefold over the time it has been under consideration by the Heritage Council of NSW.

The Badangi Natural and Cultural Landscape is a largely intact natural landscape situated on Sydney Harbour.  It is the characteristic landform of the Sydney escarpment and includes remnant bushland and a rare remaining estuarine tributary: small forested stream, flowing to an intertidal mud flat and into the harbour.  The land comprises a series of public reserves around the Wollstonecraft peninsula. To the west, around Gore Cove are Holloway Park, Greendale Park, Smoothey Park and Milray Reserve.  To the east is Badangi Reserve and to the south is Berry Island Reserve, which is now connected to the mainland.

Date:  Sunday, 28 March 2021

Time:  2:00-4:30pm (arrive 1:30pm for 2:00pm start)

Cost:  AGHS members $20; Non-members $30; Students $5 (includes refreshments)

Location:  Berry Island, meet at the end of Shirley Road Wollstonecraft.

5. [NEW ITEM] AGHS Webinar – “Colin Randall – The Gardens of Garden Island”, 14 April, 7pm AEST

The talk covers three topics:- the ship’s garden; the naval garden on The Hill; and the lost gardens of Garden Island.

The ship’s garden was first planted on Garden Island just 16 days after the first fleet arrived in Sydney Cove in February 1788. These were gardens created to provide fresh food to ward off the dreaded scurvy. The origin of the gardens as well as its eventual use as the site in 1874 of the first lawn tennis ground in Australia is discussed.

The naval garden on the northern hill of Garden Island was created from 1885 with the re-establishment of the lawn tennis court from its original location.With Royal  and vice-regal visits to Sydney  The Hill became a place for tree plantings as well as locating items of naval interest. The use of the naval garden and its vistas for formal photographs is covered. The presence of the naval and dockyard families and their use of The Hill as  their playground and backyard influenced the design of the garden.

With the construction of the Captain Cook Graving Dock from 1941 until 1945 dramatic changes were made to the shoreline of Potts Point. The war time imperatives forced the compulsory resumption of land and the necessity to erect a concrete batching plant, destroyed in part two remarkable gardens.The gardens that were affected were those of Clarens and Wyldefel. The talk covers the two “lost”gardens with images of their original state and current situation. 

Date: Wednesday, 14 April 2021

Time: 7pm sharp, call begins at 6:45pm

Cost:  AGHS members $10; Non-members $15; Students $5

6. [NEW ITEM] 20th Century Heritage Society NSW Walk and Talk Program – “A Street of Strange Delight”, 24 April, 2pm AEST

In September 1935, in a double-page feature, The Home magazine described Hastings Road, Warrawee, as ‘A Street of Strange Delight’. 

The editor of that long-departed journal observed how the inhabitants had ‘…striven harmoniously to preserve the rustic flavour that characterises the district’ and had succeeded in ‘making a simple street one of the most notable in NSW’.

The Home enthused about ‘Rivenhall’ – with its exotic Japanese tea house – and ‘many other residences of pleasing design’.

Today, Hastings Road is still known for grand residences such as ‘Wirepe’ (pictured above), and ‘Pibrac’, designed by Canadian architect John Horbury Hunt.

We hope you’ll join us in this exciting first step in the revival of our Walks & Talks program. Our guide will be architectural historian Dr Zeny Edwards OAM. We’ll be entirely outdoors, with social distancing guidelines being observed.

Date: 24 April 2021

Time: 2pm to 4pm

Cost: $35

Location: Hastings Road, Warrawee (meeting place to be advised)

Australia ICOMOS Mentoring Program – calling for Mentors! Submit an EOI by 9 April

It’s here again! We need Australia ICOMOS members based in New South Wales and Victoria to step up and join us as mentors for students from the University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, Latrobe University and Deakin University.

We are celebrating a milestone birthday – after a pilot phase in the ACT, Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in 2011 and supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students planning careers in heritage. The program has been enthusiastically received by both mentors and mentees.

We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we rely on the generosity of ICOMOS members so that as many students as possible can be paired.

What is required?

We ask mentors to meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between May and October. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests. This year, we will be providing some extra ideas to help mentoring pairs use these exchanges well. 


Also new this year – we are planning a virtual national launch in late April so that mentors and mentees from across Australia can join together. The ‘save the date’ will be announced soon. We hope to host face-to-face social state-based closing events in October/November. Mentoring pairs will also be supported to attend State-based events organised during the year by Australia ICOMOS.

There will be a brief evaluation questionnaire distributed at the end of the year that we ask all participants to complete and return. 


How do I get involved as a MENTOR? 


If you would like to be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by COB Friday 9 April 2020.

Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience, interests and current practice. This will assist the Mentoring Team in matching mentors and mentees. 


Mentors must be Full ICOMOS members and can have professional experience in any sector of cultural heritage practice. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many students and mentors as possible. 


Mentors in other States and Territories: we sometimes have mentoring opportunities in other States and Territories (for students studying by distance through one of the participating Universities). So, if you are keen, but don’t live in Victoria, NSW or WA – please send us your EOI. We will see what’s possible!

How do I get involved as a MENTEE? 


Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university. Please contact the person at your university as a first step. 


When do we start? 


We will be matching students and mentors and hosting the launch event at the end of April. We will circulate additional information about our ‘launch event’ once we are more certain about it.

We hope that all members based in participating States will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support students and emerging professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

EOI invited – Securing the Next ICOMOS Generation: Transitioning the Advisory Committee | deadline: 30 March 2021

During the Advisory Committee meeting in 2020 a recommendation was passed to seek volunteers to shadow and support the work of the Advisory Committee Officers (ACOs) in driving the work of the ACOs and implementing the recommendation of the 2020 Advisory Committee meeting. ICOMOS members are invited to actively volunteer to support the implementation of these Advisory Committee resolutions.

This initiative aims to facilitate and encourage ICOMOS members to share, experience and communicate the role of the Advisory Committee and the work of the ACOs, to share the lively debate and experience and increase the pool of future candidates standing for election as ACOs and to help support and increase the efficiency of the work done by the Advisory Committee and ACOs.

Advisory Committee Volunteers would be working directly with the ACOs on organisational and scientific project co-ordination and development. Assignments are varied and include – amongst many others – the development of the new Triennial Scientific Plan, working on the Sustainability and Communications Task Force, an ICOMOS mentoring scheme, developing regional National Committees communications, groups and meetings, and supporting World Monuments Watch reviews.

The Advisory Committee Volunteer EOIs should take the form of a brief email including a short description (250 words) about your professional background, any past roles with ICOMOS and other relevant experience.

We seek expressions of interest (EOI) from members to support the work of the Advisory Committee and ACOs in 2021. Interested ICOMOS members should send their EOI to Deirdre McDermott by email by 30 March 2021.

If you have any questions please email the ICOMOS Secretariat by 30 March 2021.

ONLINE PRESENTATION: Waterfront: Victoria’s Rivers and the Gold Rush, 29 March 2021,
6.30pm

The 19th-century Gold Rush was one of the defining episodes in Australian history and has left a rich legacy in terms of culture, architecture and archaeology. Many Gold Rush stories are well-known, but the profound environmental disruption associated with this period is all but forgotten. For decades, a deluge of sand, silt and gravel poured from the mines. New research is showing how, 100 years later, the effects of this sludge continue to shape Victoria’s rivers and floodplains. This legacy has implications for the management of cultural heritage, river remediation programs, catchment management, public health and debates about how people and environments interact.

Event co-presented by Heritage Council Victoria. Waterfront is proudly presented by Centre for Architecture Victoria | Open House Melbourne, in partnership with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and East Gippsland Shire Council. Waterfront is part of Melbourne Design Week 2021, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.

Architectural Drawings by Miles Lewis: online launch, 4pm AEDT, 28 March

 

 

Architectural Drawings by Miles Lewis

This book illuminates the art of architectural drawings.

The best trained and most experienced librarian or curator is likely to confront difficulties in dealing with architectural drawings. Even an architect will be unable to understand some aspects of drawings a century old.

Professor Miles Lewis, a leading architectural historian, in conjunction with the International Confederation of Architectural Museums (Australasia) demonstrates to professional curators how to collect, interpret and conserve these ephemeral works of art. In so doing he reveals fascinating insights and wonderful images for all who appreciate and practise fine art and architecture.

The Author

Miles Lewis AM FAHA, Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning, at the University of Melbourne, is an architectural historian specialising in the cultural history of building.

He edited the international text Architectura, and is an honorary life fellow of the Comité International d’Architecture Vernaculaire. He also has a specialised architectural library collection, some hundreds of titles from which have recently been digitised and added to the online Building Technology Heritage Library (USA).

Port Arthur Talk, 13 April 2021

The Landscape Archaeology of Point Puer
presented by Caitlin D’Gluyas

Caiti is an historical archaeologist whose core interests are Australian archaeology, spatial history and the archaeology of children. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of New England. Her research focuses on Point Puer as well as early nineteenth century juvenile criminal management in colonial Australia and internationally.

Hidden within the bushy peninsula of Point Puer is a rich archaeological landscape that reveals a remarkable range of insights into the history of the site and the lives of the convict boys who were sent there. This presentation shares new research into the archaeological landscape of Point Puer and what the findings tell us about the experiences of the occupants and the ideology and colonial practices that created one of the world’s first separate juvenile prisons in such an isolated location.

When: 13 April, 12pm

Where: 1830 Restaurant & Bar, Visitor Centre, Port Arthur Historic Site

RSVP NOTE: Attendance by booking only. For bookings phone 1800 659 101 between 10am and 4pm or email Port Arthur Reservations

Theme

Leveraging heritage for a better future is gaining prominence across national, continental and international discourses, as heritage is not simply a record of the past but a cultural process reflecting the social realities of today. What is the role of heritage in tackling societal challenges including equity, diversity and inclusion in and among communities? How should heritage be integrated into decision-making processes to ensure sustainable development at the local and regional levels? What is the relationship between broader societal forces and heritage?

The leaders of governments in Africa envisioned a future where the continent is free of conflict, poverty, human rights violations and disasters. The vision encapsulates the significance of heritage within the society in the seven aspirations of African Union Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want reflecting the desire for inclusion, equality and integration for everyone regardless of gender, ethnicity and age. To this end, heritage defines people’s identities and histories and helps to rebuild communities after disasters, create new shared understanding of the past, stimulate local development and create opportunities for a better future.

In the United States, recent national discussions and protests have spotlighted unresolved racial issues and inequalities that continue to divide the country. Exploring the issues, struggles and contributions of different communities in historic places are critical to charting a path toward national healing and an equitable future.

Format

The event is led by ICOMOS EPWG representatives from the USA and the Africa region (Zoe Leung and Olufemi Adentunji), to support intergenerational exchanges critical to safeguarding and promoting heritage. The program will feature a conversation among established and emerging professionals in heritage preservation from the United States and African countries, moderated by a USA participant.

(re)create: art and the activation of heritage, one-day symposium, 21 April, Canberra

(re)create: art and the activation of heritage
One-day symposium, Wednesday 21 April 2021, 8:45am–5pm
Ann Harding Conference Centre, University of Canberra

(re)create is a one-day symposium exploring the role of creative art practice in the activation of heritage places, practices and projects.

(re)create brings together artists, curators, heritage professionals and other researchers to explore the new perspectives that art can bring to heritage interpretation, engagement, community participation and collective problem-solving.

Speakers will discuss their involvement in reanimating archives, reimagining histories, place and ecologies, and drawing inspiration from collections and things. Whether it be the activation of dormant seed banks, endangered mammals on the edge of suburbia, or the values of mid-century modern buildings, art has a role to play in how we frame our future heritage.
