SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:EMPERORS IN LILLIPUT:  CLEM CHRISTESEN OF MEANJIN & STEPHEN MURRAY-SMITH OF OVERLAND
DESCRIPTION:Literary magazine editors used to be rather imperial in style\, exercising a great deal of influence in what has always been a rather restricted field: literary culture. Clem Christesen and Stephen Murray-Smith projected real authority as they fought the cultural and political battles of the day. \nThe style of their magazines was quite different. Meanjin\, formally associated with the University of Melbourne\, inclined as much to academic analysis as it did to creative writing\, interleaved with speculative pieces on Australian society and culture. It was also highly conscious of the international dimension\, and regularly published work from major overseas writers. \nOverland\, on the other hand\, while also emanating from the University of Melbourne – informally – had an entirely different project. It arose from a Communist front\, and while steadily broadening its approach and appeal\, always retained a sense of being a collective enterprise. Essentially inclusive\, Stephen sought to unite elements across the social spectrum to help create a distinctive Australian culture\, and expanded its infrastructure with some writings of his own. \nWe are delighted to welcome back Jim Davidson who will remind us of the reach and power of these legendary literary figures. \nJim Davidson has held academic appointments at the University of Melbourne\, Victoria University\, the Australian National University\, and in South Africa and England. He edited Meanjin from 1974 to 1982. His books include a scholarly edition of Anthony Trollope’s South Africa and histories of tourism and postcards. But he is best-known for his prize-winning biographies\, Lyrebird Rising: Louise Hanson-Dyer of Oiseau-Lyre and A Three-Cornered Life: The Historian WK Hancock. His double biography of Clem Christesen and Stephen Murray-Smith\, Emperors in Lilliput\, has just been published by Melbourne University Press. \nWhen you book a ticket you will be sent an automatically-generated email confirming your purchase. For those attending via Zoom\, we will send your Zoom log-in details 24 hours before the event. Please note that\, as at all RHSV events\, refreshments are served from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture starts. So the Zoom presentation will start at 6pm. \nIf you do not receive the email confirmation of your purchase please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder as these automatically generated emails sometimes fall foul of spam filters.

SUMMARY:Discover Cemeteries at Fawkner Memorial Park
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT) invites you to the official launch of our augmented reality app\, Discover Cemeteries\, at Fawkner Memorial Park. \nVenue: On site at the Heritage Tearooms opposite the Fawkner Station cemetery entry. \nGetting there: Catch the train to Fawkner station on the Upfield line – Fawkner Memorial Park was designed to be easily accessible by rail. Onsite parking is also available. \nRefreshments: Join GMCT for morning tea. \nRSVP: Please RSVP to community@gmct.com.au by 14 November 2022. \n  \nFawkner Memorial Park is a trove of Victoria’s rich history. The Discover Cemeteries app brings this history to life with animation\, audio\, video and augmented reality (AR). \nAs the first ever use of AR technology in a cemetery setting\, this is a groundbreaking project. AR allows a uniquely immersive experience\, overlaying and blending in with the landscape through the screen of your phone. Two self-guided tours of Fawkner Memorial Park show the resting places and stories of ordinary people who led extraordinary lives. \nGMCT is proud to partner with the Melbourne-based studio Creativa on this visionary project\, showing how new technology can create a modern\, living cemetery where visitors can reflect\, learn and explore. \nThe launch coincides with GIS Day\, which celebrates technology that uses geographic information systems (GIS) to enhance people’s lives. \nDownload the Discover Cemeteries app for iOS at the App Store or for Android at Google Play. We recommend that you download the app prior to the event. \n

SUMMARY:Walking Tour of Westgate Park with Lyn Allison
DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour of Westgate Park with Lyn Allison \nSunday 20th November 10.00 am to 12.00 pm \nOrganised by Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society Inc \nDo join our walking tour of Westgate Park with Lyn Allison. The community bus will leave from the Port Melbourne Town Hall at 9.30 am and will return at 12.30 pm.  If you would prefer to meet us at the main carpark at the entrance to the park at 10.00 am.  BYO water\, hat\, waterproof gear if needed. \nWhether you are taking the community bus\, or meeting at the Park\, please let George Tsingos know to help the outing run smoothly \nsecretary@pmhps.org.au \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWestgate Park is a green oasis located in the heart of industrial Melbourne. The park is perhaps best known for its salt lake which turns pink seasonally in response to high salt levels\, high temperatures\, increased sunlight and lack of rainfall. Visit during the hotter weather to see the reddish algae growing in the salt crust. The lake returns to its normal colour as the weather cools and rainfall increases. \nThe shared paths in Westgate Park are popular with cyclists\, joggers and walkers\, and connect to some significant trail networks of Melbourne\, including the 53km Bay Trail. The trail starts in Westgate Park at the Yarra River and heads all the way to Frankston\, along the eastern edge of Port Phillip Bay\, and is about 2.5 hours by bike\, each way. Travel via the bicycle punt service across the Yarra River (westgatepunt.com for timetable) to access Scienceworks and the Williamstown Foreshore Trail (6km\, 23 minutes one way). \nTake the unsealed trails in Westgate Park that wind past lakes and wetlands to see the park’s plants and animals\, as well as the Earth Series Sculptures. These artworks by Lyn Moore are made from natural materials and add to the unique landscape and character of Westgate Park. Pack a picnic or make use of the free shared electric barbecue facility and come and explore this beautiful environment at the city’s doorstep. \nWestgate Park forms a sanctuary for a variety of bird species from around the world. Watch the lake for wading birds such as stilts\, ibis and spoonbills feeding on the shores\, and swimmers and divers including ducks\, gulls\, coots\, pelicans\, swans and moorhens.
