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:1850s Heritage-listed garden in Thomastown: horticulturalist guided tours
DESCRIPTION:Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden has introduced horticulturalist guided tours of its heritage-listed garden\, which dates from the 1850s. \nThe garden’s professional horticulturalist\, Christine Burke\, has tended Ziebell’s Farmhouse garden for nine years.  From her extensive experience\, she has created a talk and tour about the geology\, plants and the history of this heritage-listed cottage garden.  Christine has also drawn on the knowledge of descendants\, especially Sylvia Schultz\, who tended the garden for over 80 years and with whom Christine worked for several years.  Younger descendants still volunteer to tend the garden and\, in doing so\,  maintain the continuous commitment to the garden by Christian and Sophia Ziebell and their descendants from the 1850s to the present day. \nDescribed as one of the finest small cottage gardens in Melbourne\, it features over 70 roses including one planted in the 1860s. It is tangible evidence of the love of beauty and culture that existed at Westgarthtown\, which is an historic dairy farming settlement established by German and Wendish emigrants.  Ziebell’s Farmhouse is Victoria’s oldest German emigrant building and is now an accredited museum and the cultural interpretive centre for Westgarthtown \nRegarding this new initiative\, Garden Co-ordinator\,  Gillian Borrack commented\, “Our new garden tours are another way we share these historic and beautiful gardens.  Christine’s knowledge\, along with that of the descendants’\, have created insights that few people get to experience.  We hope our heritage garden and tours contribute to the appreciation and significance of heritage gardens.” \nWhat:                   Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden Horticulturalist Tours \nWhen:                 1pm Wednesday  3rd  March\,  then the first Wednesday of each month. \nCost:                      $10 per person with a minimum of 6 required for a tour to proceed. \nBookings:            Essential one week prior to tour date. Bookings at www.westgarthtown.org.au \nWhere:                 Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden\, Cnr Gardenia Road and \nAinwick Crescent\, Thomastown.

SUMMARY:STATUES: PUTTING THEM UP\, AND PULLING 'EM DOWN
DESCRIPTION:STATUES: PUTTING THEM UP\, AND PULLING ‘EM DOWN\n5pm – 6pm  RHSV AGM  (to see the full agenda and financial reports please click here) \n6pm – 6:30pm   REFRESHMENTS \n6:30pm – 7:30pm  2021 WESTON BATE ORATION DELIVERED BY JIM DAVIDSON \nThere may be a lull in the statue wars now\, but that is because the front has broadened – certainly overseas. This oration shows how statues rose with the nineteenth century\, and spread with the growth of empires\, not least to Australia. The nature of traditional Australian statuary is considered\, along with the questions it implicitly raises. (Comparisons are made with America.)  Statues\, it seems\, have become lightning conductors for unresolved tensions\, the public culture which once sustained them being increasingly subject to segmentation and fracture. \nIn our Distinguished Lecturer series\, the 2021 Weston Bate Oration will be delivered by the estimable Jim Davidson\, following our AGM. The AGM will be from 5pm to 6pm at which time we’ll pause for some refreshments followed by Jim’s oration. \nJim Davidson is an historian and biographer\, and a former editor of Meanjin. He is the author of A Three-Cornered Life: The Historian WK Hancock\, the memoir A Führer for a Father: The domestic face of colonialism\, and Lyrebird Rising\, a life of the musical patron Louise Hanson-Dyer. Together they have won half a dozen prizes\, including the Prime Minister’s History Prize\, the Victorian premier’s non-fiction prize\, and The Age Non-fiction Book of the Year (twice). His double biography of Clem Christesen of Meanjin and Stephen Murray-Smith of Overland – Emperors in Lilliput – will appear from Melbourne University Press next year. He is currently working on his next book\, on statues.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:At the 27 May Clinic\, Jillian will revisit the process of book cataloguing\, both published and unpublished material. What is the information that should be captured and what is the nice-to-add extras that can be useful. \nJillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing or an old hand you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe remaining clinics for 2021 will be held (all via Zoom) on these dates: \n\nMay 27\, 2021 11AM\nJun 24\, 2021 11AM\nJul 22\, 2021 11AM\nAug 26\, 2021 11AM\nSep 23\, 2021 11AM\nOct 28\, 2021 11AM\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\n  \nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZItd-yhqz8oHtJgxpBNwW8ieSnpwIWjKaLP/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGurjsvE9GRsh2BRpwAAoigZ_PwmClBgrd3mwf1IQ5EVVv_M9FMIqVWJ9L7 \nJoin Zoom Meeting (this is applicable to all 10 clinics during 2021)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86005954246?pwd=eUsyRlRxTE92bU5Wb3IzVjVIcmxKdz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 0595 4246\nPasscode: 217816
