SUMMARY:Curator's talk: Yarra Birrarung Artists\, Writers and the River exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join the curator\, Dr Judith Buckrich\, of our current exhibition Yarra Birrarung: Artists\, Writers and the River in a behind-the-scenes talk about the exhibition. \nThe exhibition is an illustrated history of life on the Yarra. Through the lens of artists and writers\, the exhibition 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. \nJudith Buckrich has published a book\, of the same name\, 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. \nHousekeeping \nThis free event is in person only (no Zoom).

SUMMARY:AGL Shaw Lecture: La Trobe\, Redcoats and the Mounted Police
DESCRIPTION:On 1st October 1839\, the newly appointed Superintendent of the Port Phillip District\, Charles La Trobe\, came ashore in Melbourne for the first time. He was greeted by William Lonsdale\, who had been sent to the district as de facto superintendent\, and Police Magistrate in late 1836. \nLonsdale\, a recently retired officer of the 4th Regiment (King’s Own) had come to Port Phillip with a small ‘garrison’ of an Ensign and 30 men from the same regiment. He forged a close relationship with La Trobe over the coming years even though La Trobe was distinctly non-military. While neither had direct command of the ‘garrison’\, which reported to HQ in Sydney\, the soldiers had an important role in providing the ultimate\, mostly symbolic\, Imperial underpinning of La Trobe’s authority. \nA Mounted Police detachment\, although made up of soldiers on attachment from their regiments\, did come under control of the Police Magistrate. \nThis presentation will describe the life and times of the Redcoats and the Mounted Police\, and provide (good\, bad and ugly) context to their presence in the District of Port Phillip until Separation in 1850. \n  \nPresented by Dr Andrew Kilsby.\nAndrew is a professional historian and published author. His focus is military\, business and biographical history. A graduate of RMC Duntroon he holds a PhD from UNSW at ADFA. A founder of Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc. in 2010\, Andrew has also written numerous articles\, convened and presented in military history conferences and arranged exhibitions\, including two at the RHSV. His business publications have also achieved two RHSV Community History Award commendations. As the 2024-25 Fellow of the La Trobe Society\, Andrew is investigating ‘La Trobe\, Law and Order 1839-1854’. \n  \nAbout AGL Shaw lectures\nAlan George Lewers Shaw AO\, FAHA\, FASSA\, FRAHS\, FRHSV (1916 – 2012) was an RHSV Councillor from 1965 to 1971 and President from 1987 to 1991.

SUMMARY:How to Record a Painful History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a not-to-be-missed discussion on recording and sharing the truths of a colonial past. Aunty Fay Stewart-Muir and Marguerita Stephens will share their experience of collaborating across cultures to create their ground-breaking work “Years of Terror: Banbu-deen: Kulin & Colonists at Port Phillip 1835-1851.” \nWhy did Billibellary and other Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung clansmen and women parley with Batman on the banks of the Merri Creek in June 1835?  And what befell the clans in the decade and a half that followed that fateful encounter with Britain’s Empire? Based primarily on the daily journal of Assistant Protector William Thomas\, this work meticulously documents the lives\, and deaths\, of those who struggled to hold their Country.
