SUMMARY:AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIANS AUSTRALIA INC HONORS REG HUNT
DESCRIPTION:WITH AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID ZEUNERT\nReg Hunt\, motor dealer\, racing driver\, collector and property investor was one of Melbourne’s best known and successful automobilists during his working life. Maserati historian\, enthusiast and long-time friend\, David Zeunert\, will discuss with Mark Bissett Reg’s life exploits following a light lunch at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. \nReg Hunt built one of Australia’s largest motor dealer operations and was known for his “Golden Mile” along the Nepean Highway\, Elsternwick that included a 12-acre used car lot that held up to 2\,000 vehicles and later Holden’s top selling dealership\, Reg Hunt Rhodes.\nLesser known is Reg Hunt’s success in motor racing\, particularly in his Maserati 250F Formula 1 car in which he competed against Stirling Moss\, Jack Brabham\, Stan Jones and others\, earning the Australian Driver’s Championship in 1956. He is also remembered for his collection of Rolls Royce and WO Bentleys. Reg Hunt retired after 45 years in the motor industry\, amassing some $95 million in property and a business that turned over $300 million per annum. \nDavid Zeunert is a Melbourne based enthusiast/historian\, a strong generalist with a particular passion for Maserati. It was via his ownership of Maseratis and the Maserati Club that David met Reg Hunt 40 years ago. Zeunert has a significant archive of Australian motor racing photographs\, magazines and memorabilia. He has contributed his research knowledge to many authors. In addition\, he has written for both club magazines and professional journals such as Benzina. Knowing Hunt as a friend\, and many of those associated with Maserati in Australia places David uniquely to speak with authority about the late Reg Hunt’s racing and commercial achievements.

SUMMARY:2025 Billibellary Indigenous History Lecture: Breaking Australian Rules in Sport and History
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite our members and friends to join us for the 4th annual Billibellary Indigenous History Lecture to be delivered by distinguished academic Professor Barry Judd. \n\nThe Indigenous sport of Australian (Rules) Football is widely regarded as the national game at least in Melbourne and the State of Victoria. First codified in 1858 as the Melbourne Rules\, today Australian Football as it is officially known is the most spectated sport nationally and the controlling body of the sport the Australian Football League (AFL) is one of the wealthiest most influential Australian institutions. The history of Australian Football and its origins in goldrush era Melbourne provides an exemplary example of why the rules that govern the discipline of Australian history need to be broken. By referencing the orthodox methodological approaches and research practices in the writing of Australian Rules Football histories this lecture shows how Indigenous peoples\, knowledges and cultural practices can be eliminated from the Australian past. By referencing Australian football histories this lecture also shows how as productive settler-colonial relationships with Indigenous peoples can be made marginal and of insignificant importance. \nDrawing on recent scholarly collaborations with Professor Kat Ellinghaus a trained academic historian\, this lecture concludes by suggesting alternate approaches to the writing of Australian history that are inclusive of Indigenous Australian understanding of the past and therefore more capable of reconstructing more truthful understandings of the past. To do so the lecture concludes that an approach to historical research encapsulated by the ARC funding project Ngura Ninti is required. \n\nProfessor Barry Judd is a distinguished academic and accomplished leader\, currently holding the positions of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous) and Professor of Indigenous Studies in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. As the DVC (Indigenous)\, he plays a crucial role in shaping institutional policy\, strategy\, and guidance on all aspects of Indigenous higher education. \nIn addition to these duties\, Professor Judd provides academic leadership to the Indigenous Studies Program through undergraduate teaching\, Higher Degree Research supervisions\, and research activity\, all of which support the development of this emerging field of studies. He is a member of the esteemed Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and was a foundation Chief Investigator of the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network (NIRAKN). \nProfessor Judd’s expertise is widely recognised\, and he serves as a Board member of the Museums and Galleries of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) and the Life Again Foundation. He is also a member of the Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) committee of the Richmond Football Club. \nProfessor Judd’s academic background is extensive\, with an MA in Public Policy and a PhD in Australian Indigenous Studies\, as well as postgraduate qualifications in higher education teaching and learning. His research expertise lies in Australian race relations in Australian sports and interdisciplinary research methods in Indigenous Studies and Australian history. \nWith over 30 years of experience in supporting Indigenous activity in Australian higher education\, Professor Judd is widely published and holds several current Australian Research Council research grants. His invaluable contributions to the field of Indigenous Studies are a testament to his exceptional work\, inspiring and leading the way for future Indigenous leaders. \n\nHouse-keeping \nThe Zoom log-in details will be sent\, 24 hours before the event\, to all those who have booked – please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder if you cannot find the email in your in-box. The Zoom event will start at 6pm (30 mins later than the in-person event). \nAs will all RHSV lectures\, we will serve refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will commence.

SUMMARY:Think Tank: orientation/training programme for young people joining historical societies
DESCRIPTION:Murchison & District Historical Society wants to develop an orientation/training programme for young people – i.e. 14 – 18yo’s – to become volunteers for their historical society. Isn’t that a great idea? If your historical society has any experience in developing or running such a program\, Kay Ball from Murchison would love to hear from you. {murch.hs@outlook.com} \nThe RHSV thinks that this idea is worth putting effort into and seeing if we can develop a template that can be adopted by many historical societies. To facilitate this I’ve organised a Zoom meeting for 11am Tuesday 4 February 2025 for everyone interested to get together and share ideas and experiences and to work out what can be done. So please do join Kay and me on Zoom and bring your ideas and enthusiasm and we’ll see what we can nut out together. \nKay Ball from Murchison says\, “I have 15 x 2 hour sessions in mind (includes morning tea)\, that will be held on Saturdays and then some weekdays during school holidays. Planning on starting with about 8 in the group with two adults mentoring. Our volunteers have backgrounds in teaching\, retail and business management as well as a passion for history so should be a good fit!” \nYour Zoom log-in: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82712545917?pwd=Wm4lFy76mJ8YZ3aY6QGfUrYP7RGhoE.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID 827 1254 5917\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPasscode: 469528

SUMMARY:WHEN AUSTRALIA WAS ALMOST FRENCH
DESCRIPTION:EVENT CANCELLED: Our deepest apologies but this event has been cancelled. Refunds have been sent to those who have already bought tickets. We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience. \n  \nThe RHSV is thrilled to host this lecture\, the only one in Melbourne\, presented by the Institut de recherche Nicolas Baudin. \nFor more than two centuries\, France and Australia have forged strong links. Between 1772 and 1827\, no fewer than nine French scientific expeditions explored the Australian coastline. French scientists drew maps\, studied flora and fauna\, and opened up to the Aborigines. In the century that followed\, Australians and French shed their blood side by side in two world wars. \nAs recently as December 2023\, the governments of our two nations solemnly renewed their cooperation through a multi-year agenda covering areas as broad and fundamental as rare metals\, defence\, culture\, history\, Antarctica\, oceans\, space and sport. \nIt’s these connections that the Institut de recherche Nicolas Baudin wants to highlight in their 2024 lecture tour. The Institut is presenting 12 events in 6 Australian cities as well as in New Caledonia. \nFrom Saint-Aloüarn\, who took possession of Australia for Louis XV at Shark Bay (Western Australia) in 1772\, to the scientists of the Baudin expedition who drew up a plan for Napoleon’s invasion of Sydney\, to Dumont d’Urville\, who explored King George Sound (now Albany) to make Western Australia a French colony\, France and England have always competed for possession of the island continent. Starting with the famous painting of Lapérouse unfolding the map of his expedition in front of Louis XVI\, with his hand pointing to Australia\, this lecture tells the long story of this race with its many twists and turns. \n \nPatrick Llewellyn is French and has a degree in humanities. For almost twelve years\, he has specialised in the history of the great scientific maritime expeditions of the 18th century\, in particular that of Nicolas Baudin\, the battle of the longitudes and marine chronometers. He was involved in organising the Art of Science exhibition in Australia in 2016\, dedicated to Captain Baudin’s expedition\, and facilitated the loan to Australia from the Musée National de la Marine in Paris of one of only two surviving marine chronometers from the Baudin expedition\, and the large copper plate used to engrave the first complete map of the Australian coastline in Paris in 1811. Patrick gave numerous lectures in Australia in 2015 and 2016. \n \nThe speaking tour is made possible by the support of the Institut’s partners: \n\nBausele is an Australian watchmaker founded by a Frenchman\, Christophe Hoppé.\nThe Accor group is the worldwide leader in hospitality.\nThe Silentworld Foundation and The Powerhouse Museum\n\n   \nAnd our event is sponsored by Dominique Portet Wines \n

SUMMARY:LAUNCH: YARRA BIRRARUNG ARTISTS\, WRITERS AND THE RIVER
DESCRIPTION:Yarra Birrarung: Artists\, Writers and the River is an illustrated history of life on the Yarra. Through the lens of artists and writers\, the book explores how life has flourished on the river\, including recreation\, industry and land use\, as well as infrastructure\, natural history and social history. \nDespite much despoiling\, our river remains the vital artery of the city and beyond to the Yarra Ranges. Just as it was the fulcrum of Wurundjeri life\, it continues to inspire and fulfil our lives. From the Heidelberg School to the MCG\, the river has been a centre of Australian arts and culture for decades. \nAt this event we will be launching both the exhibition and Judith’s latest book\, Yarra Birrarung: Artists\, Writers and the River\, which is the first comprehensive illustrated history of the Yarra Birrarung from before European settlement to the present day\, a 200 year story\, examined through the lives of its creatives. \nDr Judith Buckrich was born in Budapest\, Hungary in 1950 and emigrated to Melbourne in 1958. She has several entries in the Encyclopedia of Melbourne and Remembering Melbourne 1850–1960. Her book The Village of Ripponlea won a Victorian Community History Award in 2016 and Acland Street: the Grand Lady of St Kilda won the 2018 Fellowship of Australian Writers (VIC) Award for non-fiction. She has also published with Melbourne Books before\, releasing The Long and Perilous Journey: A History of Port Melbourne in 2002. At present\, she is working on an illustrated history of Fitzroy North. \nJudith has written her own one-woman shows\, short stories\, feature articles and essays and worked as a curator\, editor and translator. She was Chair of the PEN International Women Writers’ Committee from 2003 to 2009 and President of the Melbourne PEN Centre from 1993 to 2005. She is a past President of the Prahran Mechanics Institute Victorian History Library. \nJanet Bolitho is the President of the Yarra Riverkeeper Association. She is also a long standing and devoted member of the Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society. She is a former Councillor and Mayor of the City of Port Phillip. \nJanet curates the Port Places project\, documenting\, observing and exploring Port Places – where the Yarra River meets Port Phillip Bay.  She enjoys introducing students\, local history enthusiasts and visitors to the places shaped by the Yarra Birrarung and the Port.  \nHolding a Master of Social Science in Policy and Planning\, she has a passionate interest in people centred urban planning.  She was a member of the Fishermans Bend Development Board until 2023. She is also a Board member of Westgate Biodiversity: Bili Nursery and Landcare\, the group caring for Westgate Park on the banks of the Birrarung.  \nHousekeeping \nThis event is in-person only – it will not be recorded nor available via Zoom. \nAs with most RHSV events refreshments will be served. \nYou will be sent an automatically-generated confirmation email of your booking – if it doesn’t appear in your in-box please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Oral Histories
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about the value of oral histories and Council’s heritage collections? \nJoin us at our upcoming event at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens. \nHistorian Dr Nicolette Snowden will explain how to record oral histories and examine their value in both a community and professional context. Nicolette is an experienced oral historian\, researcher and writer and she is a member of the Professional Historians Association (Victoria and Tasmania) and Oral History Victoria. \nThe program venue\, Benga\, was home to Australia’s first oral history centre. The centre resulted in a collection of recordings and transcripts of more than 300 interviews with a cross-section of people from the city. These oral histories now form part of Council’s Civic and Cultural Heritage Collection. Over the years\, these oral histories have formed the basis of many social history exhibitions and have provided an invaluable research tool for those studying Australia’s cultural heritage. Council’s Heritage Collection Officer will provide attendees with an overview of this important collection. \nThis program is being run in conjunction with the We Built This City exhibition. \nA light afternoon tea will be held following the presentations. \nRegistrations are required as places are limited – https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1311016 \nCost: Free

SUMMARY:The Dominatrix Next Door
DESCRIPTION:🎭 The Dominatrix Next Door – Mother by day\, Dominatrix by night. \nWhen a cash-strapped single mother of two in suburban Melbourne has a fun idea to start a side hustle running workshops for hens’ parties\, she has no idea it will lead her on a surreal adventure (or twenty) through the debaucherous underground world of kink clubs and swingers’ parties. Nor does she know that it will bring her out on the other end as one of Australia’s most recognised Dominatrixes. \nMistress Jane is the Melbourne-based kinkster\, fetish queen\, sex nerd and mother of two (but not in that order). Whether hosting hens’ parties and club events\, writing\, podcasting\, or running workshops\, she imparts her unique brand of flirtation and female empowerment to everything she touches. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.
