SUMMARY:Launch of the Jessie Webb Society
DESCRIPTION:  \nRichard Broome AM\, President\, Councillors and Foundation Committee members \nof the Royal Historical Society of Victoria \ninvite you to the launch of \n\nwith special guests\, Annette Webb\, \nGary Presland and Bill Russell. \n  \nCreate history. Make a bequest.  \nOver our considerable lifetime the RHSV has received many bequests which allow us to make great leaps forward. They allow us to tackle the larger projects and these have included restoring significant original artworks\, digitising our unique Pioneer Register\, indexing the on-line Victorian Historical Journals\, funding prizes and\, just as vital if more prosaic\, building our new website and funding our database. \nThe trouble with bequests is that we never get the opportunity to say a heart-felt thank you. So we have established the Jessie Webb Society to honour those who have made a bequest to the RHSV whilst they are still with us. \nJoin the Council and Foundation to raise a toast to Jessie Webb and to celebrate our new society and those who have become its founding members. \n  \nWho was Jessie Webb (1880-1944)? \nIn 1909 Jessie Stobo Watson Webb was not only an original Historical Society of Victoria member (membership No. 30) and the first woman but she also provided rooms in Block Arcade in which our first meeting was held. She was a passionate historian and a true individual who lived by her own rules. Graduating from the University of Melbourne with first class honours in history and political economy\, she became the third woman appointed to the University teaching staff when she joined its history department as an evening lecturer in 1908. \nShe and her friends exemplified the ‘new woman’: intelligent\, emancipated women who led rich intellectual lives. She spent 7 months trekking from Cape Town to Cairo in 1922 and thence to Athens where she spent eight months at the British School of Archaeology which had a huge influence on the rest of her life. She was an alternate Delegate to the League of Nations\, travelled through outback Australia in 1926 in a Baby Austin 7 and returned to Europe\, North Africa and the Middle East in 1936 for one last historical tour. She was a founding member of many academic clubs and associations and lived her life in the pursuit of education and adventure. \nWe want to honour Jessie’s legacy\, and her impact on the RHSV which is still felt over 100 years later\, by naming our bequest society after her. The Jessie Webb Society\, like its namesake\, is there to make a difference and its members understand the power of a legacy. \n“My bequest through the Jessie Webb Society is made in acknowledgement of the enduring value and worth there is in the study of history. I am pleased to provide support for a discipline that gave me not only many years of enjoyable employment\, but also enduring friendships\, and opportunities to contribute to an understanding of our past. \nI am proud to think that\, through the Jessie Webb Society\, my achievements can be of benefit in the future. That\, surely\, is what ‘history’ is about.” \nDr Gary Presland FRHSV \n“As Victoria grows\, we mustn’t forget our heritage in records\, stories\, and historical places and figures. If we neglect the past\, we lose our soul; history provides the links and stories that give our communities meaning. The RHSV has been collecting\, saving and publishing those stories for over 110 years.  \n“By leaving a bequest to the RHSV\, I know I’m helping secure their vital work in protecting Victoria’s heritage\, and the stories and histories of its communities\, into another century.\nJessie Webb loved the past but saw to the future: We can all contribute to the goal of preserving the stories and records of Victoria’s history long into the future. One of the best ways is to leave a bequest to the RHSV Foundation\, which is what I intend to do.\n \n“The success of the RHSV depends upon the generosity of people like you and me. If we value the past\, we must protect its future.” \nProfessor E W Russell \n  \nWe invite you to become a member of the Jessie Webb Society\nThe RHSV established the Jessie Webb Society to honour those who bequeath funds to us. If you make the decision to leave the RHSV a bequest in your will there is no obligation to notify us\, however\, we’d love it if you did so that we can acknowledge your generous gift now and invite you to enjoy the Jessie Webb Society and its benefits. \nFind Out More \nPhotograph of Jessie Webb courtesy of Annette Webb. Taken in her early twenties\, just a few years before she joined the Historical Society of Victoria.

SUMMARY:LAUNCH OF RHSV WOMEN'S DICTIONARY OF BIOGRAPHY
DESCRIPTION:Do join us to celebrate the launch of this major research project and its online presence.  \nThere is a perception that from its beginnings in 1909\, the Royal Historical Society has been the domain of men. Yet from the outset women have played an active role in the Society in many capacities – as members\, councillors\, fellows\, employees\, volunteers\, patrons\, benefactors. \nThe RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary has been established to honour the contributions made by women to the Society\, particularly those who do not appear in the Australian Dictionary of Biography  or Women Australia or The Australian Women’s Register.  Where the life of a featured woman has been documented elsewhere\, her entry will highlight her contribution to the RHSV. \nThis project has been instigated by the indefatigable Cheryl Griffin. Cheryl has done all the research thus far but we are hoping that there are more people out there interested in adding to the dictionary. Katrin Strohl\, President of Coburg Historical Society and talented graphic designer\, has designed the individual pages. Come to the launch and learn how you too can be involved. The dictionary will always be a work-in-progress.  \nPhotos above are (L to R): Mary Webster\, Louise Bakewell and Mary Lyell.

SUMMARY:Vera Deakin in War and Peace
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV’s major lecture during Women’s History Month (March). The lecture will start at 6pm and we will be serving drinks prior to that from 5:30pm. \nThe daughter of Prime Minister Alfred Deakin\, Vera Deakin studied music in the Habsburg Empire on the eve of the Great War. Driven by British imperial fervour on her return to Australia\, she bypassed the government’s restrictions on women’s participation in the war effort by serving with the fledgling Australian Red Cross. Aged only 23 in 1915\, she became the founding secretary of the Australian Red Cross Wounded & Missing Enquiry Bureau in Cairo and later London. Narrowly avoiding replacement by a man\, she showed outstanding leadership and was appointed OBE. In peace she married an adventurous military pilot\, Captain Thomas White\, later a cabinet minister. When he was knighted\, she became Lady White. Vera led several humanitarian causes but her lodestar remained the Red Cross. \nCarole Woods OAM is a Fellow and honorary secretary of the RHSV. A former librarian\, bibliographer and freelance historian\, she has been a longtime advocate for community history. She chaired the judges’ panel of the Victorian Community History Awards for seven years and curated two exhibitions at the RHSV.  Her books include Beechworth. A Titan’s Field and the recently published Vera Deakin and the Red Cross. \nChaired by Dr Judith Smart AM.

SUMMARY:Tales from the MacRobertson International Air Races
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Victoria’s centenary in 1934\, Macpherson Robertson sponsored a great air race from England to Melbourne. There were originally 20 entrants of which only 12 arrived in Melbourne. The British winning entrants took a whisker under 3 days\, the last plane to arrive took some 4 months.\nThe Royal Historical Society of Victoria is mounting an exhibition which takes a close look at the entrants in the races (there were two races run concurrently – a speed race and a handicap race) including the Dutch entrant\, the Uiver. The Uiver (stork) is the most famous of the entries even though it came second. It was forced by bad weather to make an emergency landing in Albury where the locals used the town’s lights to spell A L B U R Y in morse code and then created a make-shift aerodrome on the racetrack using car headlights to con the plane down. Macpherson Robertson always maintained that the Uiver\, a commercial KLM flight that went to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies with a little extra hop to Australia\, came closest to his ideal as Robertson sponsored the race to encourage commercial flight not speed. \nThe first aircraft to finish was the De Havilland DH-88 Comet Grosvenor House\, a specially- designed racing aircraft flown by Charles W. A. Scott and Tom Campbell Black. Both pilots were much feted in Melbourne. Photos show a handsome pair being mobbed by thousands. The adulation didn’t last\, Campbell Black was killed by a plane propeller just 2 years later and Scott suicided. \nHarold Brook was the pilot with the least experience – barely the minimum 100 hours. He had a paying passenger\, the 28-year old Miss Ella Lay\, who knitted her way to Australia. She was a pilot herself and the only woman to travel the full race distance from Mildenhall in England to Melbourne. Ella stayed on in Melbourne\, took up nursing\, and in 1941 enlisted in the Australian Army Nursing Service in the very building where the exhibition is being held (the former Army Medical Corps Drill Hall). Ella died in 2005\, aged 99. The Times printed her obituary. \nThe race generated many more fabulous stories including C. J. “Jimmy” Melrose who at 21 was the youngest pilot and one of the few Australians. Jimmy was funded by his mother and his De Havilland Puss Moth was christened My Hildergarde in her honour. He too died\, too young\, just two years later in a plane crash. \nThe last plane to arrive was piloted by Ray Parer and Godfrey Hemsworth and funded by New Guinea miners. Another entry was owned by well-known Australian pioneer aviator Horrie Miller who at the time was managing director of MacRobertson-Miller Aviation. He engaged James Wood and Don Bennett to fly the race however they came unstuck in Aleppo. As Bennett wrote in his autobiography\, they “… hit the ground with a fair wallop and the undercarriage collapsed; down she went and the nose went in as we whipped over on our back. I was in the tail of the machine and my velocity from one end of the cabin to the other was remarkable. Even more astounding was the degree of “concertina-ing” of my body which took place at the far end.” That was the end of their race.

SUMMARY:Launch of exhibition: Tales from the MacRobertson International Air Races
DESCRIPTION:Emeritus Professor Richard Broome AM FRHSV and the Council of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria have much pleasure in inviting our members and friends to the launch of our exhibition\, \nTales from the MacRobertson International Air Races\nwith\nMr Richard Mendelsohn\, Honorary Consul\, Kingdom of the Netherlands\nMr Richard Champion de Crespigny AM \nCurators: Mr Noel Jackling OAM\, Dr David Thompson FRHSV\, Mr John McCulloch \nIn October 1934 a great air-race was planned from London to Flemington\, Melbourne. From a field of 20 planes just 12 arrived. The winner took a whisker under 3 days; the last entrant arrived in February 1935. The best known tale is of the Dutch plane\, Uiver\, which made an emergency landing in Albury during a wild storm; the locals used the town’s lights to flash morse code to the plane and then lit the race-track\, a make-shift aerodrome\, with their car-headlights. Flight was one of the last frontiers and all the tales are unashamedly romantic and full of derring-do. \nPlease note that because of COVID we are restricted in the number of people who can attend this event and only people who have RSVPed will be allowed entry. Wearing of masks\, electronic record keeping and sanitising of hands on arrival is mandatory.

SUMMARY:BOOK FAIR
DESCRIPTION:We have been forced to delay the Book Fair because of the latest lockdown. The updated dates appear below. \nEvery year the RHSV hosts a fabulous second-hand history book fair where we sell history books of every imaginable genre. Victorian and Australian history dominate but you’ll find biographies and memoirs\, military history\, art history\, natural history\, classics\, children’s books\, political and social history\, literary history etc \nThere wasn’t a book fair in 2020 so the Drill Hall is bursting at the seams with accumulated donations of books from members and friends: professional and professorial libraries being downsized\, private\, public and educational libraries deaccessioning and old books making way for new. Books are priced to go – we don’t want any books left behind! A COVID silver-lining has to be that everyone Marie-Kondo’ed their libraries in 2020 and we’ve benefited. \nAt the 2021 Book Fair we are honoured to offer the Les Blake Collection for sale. Leslie Bamford James Blake\, O.B.E.\, B.A. Melb.\, M.Ed. Melb.\, F.A.C.E.\, F.R.S.H.V.\, F.I.B.A. was born at Bendigo (Vic.) on 5 March 1913 and died 4 June 1987 at Karingal. A long-time member of the Victorian Education Department\, during which he was an Inspector of Schools (1958-1972)\, and official historian of the Department (1966-1974)\, after which he became Victoria’s State Historian. He made major contributions to the Australian Dictionary of Biography and served in the Australian Army Signal Corps of the A.I.F. during WWII. He was President of the R.H.S.V. from 1966-1971 and Foundation President of the Western Victorian Association of historical Societies (1963-1964). \nThe Book Fair is open to the public however it kicks off with a Members-only night on Thursday 25th Feb from 5pm – 8pm. The fair then remains open to the public on Friday 26th\, Saturday 27th February and Monday 1st March (9am – 5pm except Saturday which is 10am – 4pm).

SUMMARY:THE GOOD GIRL SONG PROJECT: The Patrons' Parlour
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this is not a Zoom event but will be held live\, in the Drill Hall in our downstairs gallery which is fully accessible. All COVID19 restrictions and cautions will be observed.  \nThe RHSV is thrilled to host an event by our friends\, the Good Girl Song Project. For those of you fortunate to attend Liz Rushen’s book launch for her book\, John Marshall: Shipowner\, Lloyd’s refromer and emigration agent\, earlier this year in the Drill Hall\, you will have heard a glorious performance from Penny Larkin\, a member of The Good Girl Project. \nThis soirée is the first in a series\, The Patrons’ Parlour\, which is designed to build support for their production\, Voyage.  It will be an evening of fine entertainment and light refreshments. \nYou can RSVP through the button below or by emailing thegoodgirlsongproject@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\nVOYAGE’ IS A UNIVERSAL JOURNEY STORY COMBINING AUSTRALIAN HISTORY AND NEW AUSTRALIAN SONGWRITING THAT SPEAKS TO THE UNKNOWN HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN WOMEN.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe show places itself in Australia’s complex colonial past. In the midst of convict boats arriving each week from Britain\, a different cargo leaves for Australia. On board are 287 single and free women. They have been promised good wages\, good work and good marriage prospects in the new colony but to claim their new life they must first survive the voyage and then the colony.\nThis semi-staged ‘folksical’ sits somewhere between ballad opera and song cycle. The crystal clear song-writing incorporates both original and well-loved traditional folk tunes and showcases a fresh female perspective of an early Australian immigration story. The work is written by Helen Begley and based on the academic research of Dr Elizabeth Rushen.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Gita: Melbourne’s First Yoga School – 65 years of history
DESCRIPTION:Dr Carolyn Rasmussen will be launching Fay Woodhouse’s latest book\, Gita: Melbourne’s First Yoga School – 65 years of history at the RHSV. This is the first published history of any yoga school in Australia and it provides a context to the development of yoga in Australia.                     \nFounded in 1954 by Margrit Segesman\, Gita soon became the first full-time yoga school with its permanent home in Melbourne. During the 1970s second wave of feminism\, when teaching yoga offered women a viable career path\, the number of Gita teachers grew. \nIn the 1980s new teacher training courses\, a teachers’ guild and a charitable foundation were introduced. Today Gita retains its flagship teacher training course while embracing the digital world offering classes and courses across the airwaves. It has truly forged a place in Victoria’s cultural landscape. \nFay Woodhouse is a professional historian who has written widely on Australian social and political history and is the author of several entries in the Australian Dictionary of Biography and The Encyclopaedia of Melbourne. Her publications include histories of Monash and Melbourne Universities\, the 150-year history of Tahbilk Wines and the 100-year history of d’Arenberg Wines. Biographies include the nineteenth century Scottish stockbreeder and pioneer pastoralist\, Duncan MacGregor and the physician Leslie Latham. She has recently edited the biography of Melbourne’s first surveyor\, Robert Russell and the memoirs of the businessman\, Clive Smith. Fay regularly presents papers at conferences and contributes book chapters and articles to scholarly journals. \n\n\n\nCarolyn Rasmussen is an honorary fellow at the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies\, University of Melbourne. Carolyn does research in Australian political and social history and biography. Her dual biography of progressive politicians and activists Maurice and Doris Blackburn\, The Blackburns: Private Lives\, Public Ambition was published in March 2019 by MUP. She is chair of the Victorian Working Party of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and is currently researching a history of Computer Science and Communication and Information Technology at the University of Melbourne.

SUMMARY:John Marshall and Bounty Migration to Port Phillip
DESCRIPTION:Emeritus Professor Graeme Davison AO\, Chair of the History Council of Victoria\, will launch Dr Liz Rushen’s book\, John Marshall: Shipowner\, Lloyd’s reformer and emigration agent. \nAfter the launch\, Dr Rushen will deliver a paper which explores the significant role John Marshall played in the white settlement of the Port Phillip District. When Port Phillip was first opened up for settlement\, Marshall was Britain’s most active emigration agent: in the three years 1839-1841\, he sent 21 ships containing nearly 5000 bounty migrants to the new settlement. A major shipowner of London\, Marshall instigated reform of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and established Britain’s first emigration depot at Plymouth\, but today his contributions to the shipowning and merchant worlds of the nineteenth century have been largely forgotten. \nDr Liz Rushen\, well-known to RHSV members\, is a Melbourne-based historian who has written extensively on nineteenth-century migration to Australia. \nDrinks are served in the Gallery Downstairs from 5:15pm\, with the launch / lecture starting at 5:30pm. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author.  \nPenny Larkins from The Good Girl Song Project will also be performing at the launch.  \nImmigration was as controversial in the nineteenth century as it is today. Australia has a long history of migration and is considered one of the world’s great immigration success stories\, but this process has not been without cost. \nThis book tells the story of the most active emigration agent of the nineteenth-century: John Marshall. His influence can be read in the naming of the town Marshall\, outside Geelong\, Victoria\, and in the lives of the descendants of the thousands of people he assisted to migrate to the British colonies of New Zealand\, Canada and North America\, Cape Town and most importantly\, Australia. Marshall’s work also impacts the world today through Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. \nA brilliant strategist\, Marshall instigated a review of the classification of ships and the merger of the red and green registers used by Lloyd’s shipowners and underwriters\, and later established Britain’s first emigration depot at Plymouth. Enterprise was much-admired in the early to mid-nineteenth century and Marshall was one of the most active entrepreneurs of the period. He was a merchant-adventurer and superb logistician who read the marketplace and was prepared to move to a new start-up each time his finances dictated a fresh start: brokerage\, trade\, shipping\, emigration\, coal. \nMarshall had both the vision and analytical skills to achieve great things\, but he lacked business acumen or the personality to successfully carry through any of his undertakings. This book links the various facets of Marshall’s life from his humble beginnings to his impoverished end. It explains how an unknown insurance broker from the provinces could rise to be a key player in London’s ship owning and merchant world of the early nineteenth century. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition launch: The Swamp Vanishes
DESCRIPTION:Emeritus Professor Richard Broome\, President of the Royal Historical Society\, \nwith RHSV Councillors\, \ninvites you to the launch of our next exhibition \nThe Swamp Vanishes\nto be launched by Dr Gary Presland \nwith a musical performance by The Orbweavers. \nCurated by Lenore Frost. \nCuratorial support: Richard Barnden and David Thompson.          \n  \nA casualty of ‘exigeant and remorseless modern civilization’. \nBefore European settlers arrived in the Port Phillip district\, a large wetland that lay between the Yarra River and the Moonee Ponds Creek sustained the indigenous people and the cultural traditions of the Kulin nation. \nIt was known by the new settlers as Batman’s Swamp\, later West Melbourne Swamp.  In less than 20 years that important wetland had been despoiled by European settlers\, who turned into a receptacle for sewage and rubbish\, and shot large numbers of birds. \nWhile the wetland had initially been described in terms of beauty\, within a few short years the swamp was noisome and reviled\, and talk began of draining and reclamation.  By the end of the century significant engineering works had changed the very shape of the land. \nA feature of the land which had sustained aboriginal people for millennia prior to European settlement in 1835 became a refuge for the down and out during the 1930s depression. ‘Reclamation’ works continued\, until the wetland is now represented by the Dynon Road Tidal Canal\, parallel to Dynon Road\, and a small Wildlife Reserve. \nThis exhibition traces the how a significant wetland vanished from sight.      \nDuring a Creative Fellowship at State Library of Victoria\, The Orbweavers wrote a series of songs related to the West Melbourne Swamp. These include a song about the lost Blue Lake\, songs about Moonee Ponds Creek and industry along the Birrarung and Maribyrnong Rivers in the 19th-20th centuries. To find out more about The Orbweavers click here. \nImportant notice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors who are warned that this exhibition contains images of deceased persons. \nThe RHSV also warns that there might be words and descriptions quoted that could be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in public or community contexts. Words and descriptions that reflect the authors and the historical period in which the item was written\, may be considered inappropriate today. \n

SUMMARY:Launch: Locating Australian Literary Memory
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is delighted to host the launch of Brigid Magner’s Locating Australian Literary Memory which explores the cultural meanings suffusing local literary commemorations. \nJohn Arnold\, book historian and former editor of the La Trobe Journal\, will launch the book and also there will be readings from the Henry Lawson\, Adam Lindsay Gordon and Henry Handel Richardson societies (and maybe a Banjo Paterson song)! \nIt is orientated around eleven authors – Adam Lindsay Gordon\, Joseph Furphy\, Henry Handel Richardson\, Henry Lawson\, A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson\, Nan Chauncy\, Katharine Susannah Prichard\, Eleanor Dark\, P. L. Travers\, Kylie Tennant and David Unaipon – who have all been celebrated through a range of forms including statues\, huts\, trees\, writers’ houses and assorted objects. \nBrigid Magner illuminates the social memory residing in these monuments\nand artefacts\, which were largely created as bulwarks against forgetting. Acknowledging the\nvalue of literary memorials and the voluntary labour that enables them\, she traverses the many\ncontradictions\, ironies and eccentricities of authorial commemoration in Australia\, arguing for an\nexpanded repertoire of practices to recognise those who have been hitherto excluded. \nBrigid Magner’s fascinating study sets out the ways in which a nation can build an identity\nby actively constructing a literary memory\, and then using those memories to paper over the\ndeep history of our First Nations and their stories. In doing so she helps us understand both\nhow fragile Australian culture is and also the ways in which literature is a powerful force.’\n—Sophie Cunningham \nBrigid Magner is senior lecturer in literary studies and founding member of the non/fiction lab\nresearch group at RMIT University\, Australia. She has contributed to a range of publications on\ntopics relating to Australian and New Zealand literary culture with a particular focus on publishing\,\nauthorship\, cultural heritage and tourism. \nDrinks from 5:30pm for a 6pm launch. \n \n\n\nJohn Arnold recently retired from Monash University after twenty-three years with the National Centre for Australian Studies. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash. He was the co-editor (with John Hay) of the four-volume Bibliography of Australian Literature (2001–08) and author of The Fanfrolico Press: Satyrs\, Fauns and Fine Books (2008). He is a former editor of the La Trobe Journal. He is published widely on the history of the book in Australia. \n\n\nJohn worked at the State Library from 1975–1980 and from 1983–1989. He has held continuous office-bearer/board member positions in the Friends of the La Trobe Library/State Library of Victoria and the Library Foundation since 1983.  John is a former President of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand and a long-standing member of the Committee of the Victorian Branch of the Bookcollector’s Society of Australia.

SUMMARY:RHSV Wine-Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very different and very convivial history event. \nEvidence of wine drinking can be dated back 9\,000 years. We certainly like our altered states of consciousness! We won’t be delving back 9\,000 years but both our hosts\, David Dunstan and Ron Leslie\, know their wine and their history and will be guiding us through both. \nThere will be a talk by David and a tasting of six wines organised by Ron\, book-ended with some mood-lightening Prosecco. \nThere will be raffles of quality wines on the night. A Barossa Langmeil The Freedom 1843 (old vine) 2010 Shiraz and a Campbell’s Liqueur Tokay  – the latter is being offered for a free tasting at the conclusion as well. \nDavid Dunstan. David\, an RHSV member\, is a Senior Research Fellow with the School of Philosophical\, Historical and International Studies at Monash University.  He has written on Melbourne\, cricket and wine. \nDavid’s wine articles have appeared in journals\, newspapers and magazines for decades. His books include: Better than Pommard! A History of Wine in Victoria (1994); and A Vision for Wine. A History of the Viticultural Society of Victoria (2013). \nRon Leslie. Ron is a former English and History School teacher (1966-99) and RHSV member. In 1968 he entered the wine industry and became a part-time wine wholesaler and retailer (1973-1992). He worked for Oddbins in London in 1978. \nRon was a judge for thirteen years at the Federation Square Regional Victorian Wine Competition and chief judge for seven years \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition launch: Cold War Games
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Launch \n5pm\, Thursday 7 March 2019 \nGallery Downstairs\, RHSV. \nFree event. \nResearch: Harry Blutstein \nIn 1956\, an Olympic year\, the world was beset with Cold War anxieties. Tensions between East and West had been heightened less than a month before the Games when the USSR invaded Hungary to crush an uprising. Then Israeli\, French and British armies invaded and occupied Egypt’s Sinai and Suez Canal Zone. Would the Melbourne Olympic Games be remembered as the “friendly” Games\, a sea of tranquillity in a stormy world\, or would they become a victim of the Cold War? Would our moment in the sun be blown away by revolutions and wars raging over 15\,000 kilometres away? \nReporting on the Olympic Games for The New Yorker Magazine\, sports writer John Lardner suggested that Melbourne had found the antidote for the tensions that plagued the rest of the world. “Australia is enjoying almost a world monopoly on peace\, harmony\, civility\, understanding\, and other such symptoms of civilization and good breeding\, while Europe is behaving like someone you would think twice about introducing to your sister.” \nKeeping Australia safe from the frigid winds of the Cold War was ASIO. However it had never faced a challenge like the one posed by the Olympic Games. Its forte was hunting down “reds under the beds”: local comrades in the universities\, unions and the media who might be run as agents of influence by Soviet spies. In 1954\, Australians discovered just how real the threat was when Vladimir Petrov defected\, as did his wife. He was Third Secretary at the Soviet Embassy in Canberra\, as well as being a lieutenant colonel in the KGB. \nThese factors lead to the Melbourne Olympics becoming the first Cold War Games.
