SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF GARRYOWEN'S MELBOURNE WITH DR LIZ RUSHEN
DESCRIPTION:Historian Dr Liz Rushen will take you behind the scenes of our current exhibition\, Garryowen’s Melbourne which Liz curated. The exhibition grew out of the research Liz had done for her book\, Garryowen Unmasked: The Life of Edmund Finn\, which was launched earlier this year and was aided by her deep knowledge of the RHSV collection and its treasures. \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea.\nEdmund Finn (1819-98)\, Irish immigrant\, journalist\, raconteur and eyewitness to the development of the Port Phillip District\, is best known as ‘Garryowen’\, author of The Chronicles of Early Melbourne 1835-1852. His lively writing\, essential to any appreciation of pre-separation Victoria\, brings to life this often-neglected period and place. Yet little has been written about the man himself\, his actions or attitudes\, or the influences that shaped him. \nFinn’s exposure to troubled times in Ireland during his youth was a major influence on his later politics and world view. Migrating to Melbourne in 1841\, this well-educated man lived for more than fifty years in colonial Melbourne\, passionate about his religion\, actively engaged with his community while never forgetting the home he had left behind. This book explores the life of this talented man and the ways in which he contributed to the creation of a new society in Melbourne through his writing\, his speeches and his leadership of the St Patrick’s Society. \n“An important chronicler of early Melbourne\, the Irish journalist Edmund Finn has been unjustly neglected. A detailed study of his life and work is overdue\, and therefore Dr Rushen’s book is to be welcomed.” Professor Elizabeth Malcolm\, FASSA\, FRHistS\, University of Melbourne \n

SUMMARY:Tour of Historical Trades Hall followed by more labour history in the Curtin Hotel
DESCRIPTION:In 2023 we organised a tour of Trades Hall and everyone on the tour said it was exceptional and that Antony Moore\, the guide\, was worth bottling. \nSo\, in 2024\, we’ll be hosting another tour with Antony but with a great addition.  From 2pm – 3:30pm you’ll be touring Trades Hall with Antony and then we’ll skip over the road to the Curtin Hotel where so much labour history played out and\, over a drink\, David Cragg\, will enlighten us with this additional labour history. \nOur Heritage Committee\, under Charles Sowerwine\, successfully lobbied to save this historic pub from the threat of redevelopment. There was a great upswelling of community concern\, opposition from heritage organisations and concerted trade union action which culminated in a 10-year contract for the management of the John Curtin Hotel so it will continue as a pub and music venue. \nDuring those lost COVID years the Victorian Trades Hall underwent a massive renovation which focused on not just the building but the vital cultural heritage that lives within its walls. Photos and text courtesy of architects\, Lovell Chen’s\, website: “The Trades Hall\, on the corner of Victoria and Lygon streets in Melbourne\, is one of the world’s oldest trade union buildings. It has been the home of trade unionism in the state of Victoria since 1874\, and is associated with the history of the Australian Labor Party and with events significant to the whole country. In 2016\, we completed a condition survey and Conservation Management Plan\, considering the whole of the much-expanded complex. A grant application for state funding through the Living Heritage Program was successfully made for implementation of conservation and refurbishment works to key public spaces\, the portico and the roof. The Victorian Trades Hall Council also funded works from its own resources (and individual union contributions)\, which were carried out at the same time. \n“The Trades Hall was constructed in ten stages\, the most significant of which occurred between 1876 and 1925. It is principally recognisable for its imposing two-storey Classical/Renaissance Revival facade\, which has been extended relatively consistently as each new wing has been added. The earliest section (1874) is at the southern end of the site\, directly behind the present Victoria Street entry building (1925). The original architects were Joseph Reed (1822-1890) and Frederick Barnes (c.1823-1883)\, of Reed and Barnes\, designers of much of Melbourne’s grand 19th century architectural heritage\, including the Royal Exhibition Building. \n“Stage 1 of the project was completed in 2019. Stage 2 in 2022. Stage 3 has commenced. \n“Victorian Architecture Award 2020 : Heritage Architecture – conservation\nProperty Council of Australia : Innovation & Excellence Awards 2022 : Best Heritage Development (Stages 1+ 2)” \n\nYour guide will be Antony Moore who is a long-time union official with the Vehicle Division of the AMWU. Unfortunately\, with the closing of Australia’s car manufacturing plants\, Antony no longer had a role\, however\, for the past 6 years\, from the very start\, he has been heavily involved in the renovations at Trades Hall – working alongside archaeologists\, conservators and many other experts who have ensured that this important building and its cultural heritage are preserved. Antony is a passionate amateur historian and advocate for the building and its cultural heritage. \n\nAnd our second guide for the Curtin Hotel is David Cragg\, Labour History Melbourne Vice President\, former Trades Hall Assistant Secretary\, a Life Member of the ALP\, a Trustee of the Victorian Trades Hall & Literary Institute and all-round labour history raconteur. \nYour ticket money will be donated to the Victorian Trades Hall for their work on stage 3 of the renovation. \nYou will be sent an automatic confirmation email once you book – if this doesn’t appear in your in-box please check your Spam Mail or Junk Mail folders as automatically-generated emails often go astray. \n\nBecause this tour is limited to 20 persons we do limit it to RHSV financial members only. Please be aware that tour participants will be walking up and down flights of stairs – it is not a fully accessible tour. Ticket price includes a drink at the Curtin Hotel.

SUMMARY:History Matters Series: Women of Ballarat 1838-1851
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s International Women’s Day as Sovereign Hill Museums Association explores this year’s theme\, Count Her In\, and look to the past to explore pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. \nWhen gold was discovered in Victoria in 1851 women flocked to the Ballarat goldfields to try their hands at a new life and to find prosperity. But women had been part of the Ballarat region for much longer\, First Nations women for generations. PhD candidate Sharni Brownbridge will share with us the stories of some the women living in the Ballarat area from 1838 and in the first wild days after gold discovery and show how they acted as key members of these societies\, acting as farm workers\, gold fossickers\, business owners and creators of social connection.

SUMMARY:2024 McIntyre Lecture
DESCRIPTION:2024 McIntyre Lecture -Kew Historical Society Inc \nFAILED AMBITIONS: A HISTORY OF KEW COTTAGES by Dr Lee-Ann Monk & Dr David Henderson \nOpened in 1887\, Kew Cottages was Australia’s first purpose built institution for people with intellectual disabilities. Contemporaries considered it a ‘distinct advance on anything yet done for the feebleminded children in Australia’. Five decades later the institution had become the subject of almost universal condemnation. In the words of Rohan Rivett\, the cottages had become ‘a hillside of\nsadness’\, where residents eked out a bare existence in an institution which lacked even the most basic amenities. \nThe lecture by Lee-Ann Monk and David Henderson follows the release of their groundbreaking history of the Kew Cottages in 2023. \nWednesday 13 March\,7.30 for 8.00pm\nJust Theatre\, Kew Court House\n188 High Street\, Kew VIC 3101 \nTICKETS\nIn person lecture\, with refreshments $20.\nTickets at door\, online at www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/events/ \nor by phone 9278 4770 \n  \n

SUMMARY:WESTERN TREATMENT PLANT TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee\, and discover the historical and environmental importance of this fascinating site. The Western Treatment Plant was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2021\, recognising its historical\, archaeological and technical significance. The historic Western Treatment Plant in Werribee is a world leader in environmentally-friendly sewage treatment\, and one of Victoria’s most unlikely hidden treasures. \nRoughly the size of Phillip Island (covering an area roughly from Avalon Airport to Werribee Open Zoo)\, the vast site is home to more than just sewage treatment facilities – doubling as a working farm and internationally-recognised bird habitat. Here\, agriculture and biodiversity meet resource recovery\, education and ecotourism\, supporting Melbourne’s renowned liveability. \nThe Western Treatment Plant’s variety of natural habitats provide a refuge for wildlife\, including some of the world’s rarest bird and frog species – such as the critically-endangered orange-bellied parrot and growling grass frog. In 1983\, the site was declared an internationally-significant wetland for waterfowl under the Ramsar Convention. More than 300 bird species have been recorded at the plant\, attracted to the water and food in its permanent wetlands\, making it one of Australia’s best places for birdwatching. \nThe Wadawurrung People lived on the land for thousands of years\, making it a place of spiritual importance. The plant was also key to Melbourne’s early development – established in the early 1890s to combat the spread of disease\, as open sewers emptied into rivers and bays. \nOriginally known as the Werribee Sewage Farm\, the site included the township of Cocoroc (meaning ‘frog’)\, which housed sewage farm workers until the 1970s. Parts of it are still standing today\, and now house our operations\, administration and education facilities. \n  \nFollowing the success of our 2023 sold-out tour of Melbourne’s Western Treatment Plant we have organised a 2nd tour in March 2024. We will have a bigger and more comfortable bus this time.\nThis is a really exciting opportunity. \nWe will have two brilliant guides for the day – firstly\, whilst we drive from the RHSV to Cocoroc\, historian Tony Dingle who has researched and written extensively about Melbourne’s water and sewerage will explain the historical importance of this treatment plant and then we’ll pick up a guide at the Treatment Plant to give us the contemporary information. \nTony Dingle teaches Economic History at Monash University. He has researched and published extensively in Australian and British history and his books include Settling\, volume 2 of The Victorians (1984); Aboriginal Economy: Patterns of Experience (1988); and Vital Connections: Melbourne and its Board of Works (1991). \nTuesday 26th of March\, 2024 \n8:30am – 9am      Gather at RHSV\, 239 A’Beckett Street\, Melbourne. Coffee/tea and pastries served.  \n9am                      Bus departs for Cocoroc and the Western Treatment Plant with Tony Dingle as our on-board historian \n10am                    Arrive Cocoroc and pick up treatment plant guide \n12:00noon              Tour finishes and we depart Cocoroc arriving …          \n12:45pm                back at the RHSV \nImportant information \nThe Western Treatment Plant is a working sewage treatment plant. Before and during the treatment process\, sewage contains many micro-organisms\, including bacteria\, viruses and parasites. \nVisitors to tour sites are asked to strictly follow these safety rules while on-site:\n• Wear long pants and a long sleeved top (Not allowed: shorts\, skirts\, open-toed shoes\, high heels or sandals).\n• Wear flat sole\, enclosed shoes at all times – sandals and thongs are not permitted on-site.\n• While on tour\, stay with your tour guide at all times.\n• Refrain from climbing on and/or over railings.\n• Refrain from touching any machinery or equipment.\n• Refrain from running. \nIt is vital that all visitors:\n• Avoid contact with sewage and sewage related products\, while on-site.\n• Wash your hands before leaving the plant or eating.\n• Refrain from eating or drinking during the tour.\n• Wash any contaminated clothing separate to your normal washing.\n• Ensure that any open wounds are covered.\n• Report any minor cuts or abrasions that occur while onsite to Melbourne Water. \n  \nImage Captions \n\nAerobic lagoons\nHeritage-listed water tank at the historic worker township of Cocoroc\n\n(both photos courtesy of Margaret Donnan from our 2023 tour) \n
