SUMMARY:Out of the Madhouse Forum
DESCRIPTION:Sandy Jeffs\, a former inmate of Larundel\, who became an advocate for her ‘mad’ comrades and is now a poet of distinction; and Margaret Leggatt\, sociologist\, occupational therapist and activist for the friends and families of mentally ill people.  \nLarundel Psychiatric Hospital was ‘the madhouse on the edge of town’ – until the 1990s\, a Melbourne cultural icon shrouded in mystery in the outer suburb of Bundoora. What was it really like inside this madhouse?  \nThis story takes us into the heart of Larundel through the voices of former inmates and staff\, exposing the best and worst aspects of the mental institutions of the times. It shows the shifts in psychiatric treatments\, the social forces at play\, and changes driving mental health policy. It explores what de-institutionalisation and ‘care in the community’ actually meant for those suffering mental illness\, as well as for those treating\, and caring for Them.  \nWhat did we lose with Larundel’s closure in 1999 and the move to acute psychiatric wards in general hospitals? The notion of asylum? Is the more recent notion of ‘recovery’ a hopeful signpost towards a brave new world for mental health?

SUMMARY:Ferries of Melbourne: Past\, Present\, Future – Good\, Better\, Best?
DESCRIPTION:Ferries of Melbourne:\nPast\, Present\, Future – Good\, Better\, Best? \nExplore the heritage and the potential of Melbourne’s ferries with Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network. \nMelbourne’s ferries have delivered significant social and economic benefit to our community in the past. Today ferries remain a woefully under-developed transport and tourism option. The opportunity to expand ferry services around this state and in this city is great. This potential needs to be unlocked – by government (local and state)\, by responsible authorities and by relevant private sector and non-profit stakeholders. \nOur Speaker on Maritime Heritage:  \n\nBruce M. Gooley\, researcher\, writer and lively presenter\n\nOur Expert Panel looking to the Future: \n\nMatt McDonald\, CEO\, Port Phillip Ferries\nMurray Rance\, CEO. Port Phillip Ferries (Little Group)\nBrad Roberts\, Liaison Officer – Vessels Operations Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA)\nGareth Johnson\, Acting Director Maritime Safety\, Transport Safety Victoria\nJamie Gillingham Senior Manager\, Development Victoria\n\nLibrary at the Dock is located at 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade\, Docklands\, easily accessible via Tram routes 11\, 35\, 48\, 70 and 75. The theatrette is located on the 1st. Floor \nDue to COVID-19\, numbers are limited. RSVP essential by \n19 June: info@mmhn.org.au

SUMMARY:Port Phillip Bay: Looking out\, Looking in - Aboriginal and Colonial Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network seminar. The MMHN Board faces the year with a sense of optimism in announcing the first event in our 2021 Program.\nThe Kulin Nation’s presence over millennia around Port Phillip Bay\, the Birrarung/Yarra corridor\, its waterways\, swamps and creeks\, was clearly a primary formative element in the maritime heritage we share today. The MMHN is curating this event to acknowledge the genesis of this shared maritime heritage which is little understood and a source of wonder. It is particularly topical at this time of the year (i.e.\, post Australia/Invasion Day) as we all reflect on our shared heritage.\nOur Panel explores the context when such sightings changed the known world of each group\, forever. Hence the title Looking out\, Looking in (‘out’ from the shores and ‘in’ from ships)\, Aboriginal and Colonial Perspectives. \nWhen: 22 February 2021                    Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm\nWhere: Theatrette\, Library at The Dock\, Docklands.\nDirections: Library at the Dock is located at 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade\, Docklands\, easily accessible via Tram routes 11\, 35\, 48\, 70 and 75. The theatrette is located on the first floor.\nOur Panel:   \n\nHans Bokelund\, Director of Aboriginal Melbourne\, City of Melbourne\nDr Richard Broome\, President of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\nValentina Bydanova\, multidisciplinary curator and arts educator\n\nDue to COVID-19\, numbers are limited. RSVP essential by 19 February: info@mmhn.org.au \nImage caption: ‘Site of the Melbourne Custom House 1839’\, wood engraving published by Ebenezer & David Syme 1872\, State Library Victoria
