SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Secret Submarine - Dr Tom Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Uncover a forgotten battle off Australia’s shores. Join Dr Tom Lewis as he talks about his new book about a battle between Australia & Japan \n \nRelease Date: 10/Mar/2025 Subject: Military History\, WWII Pages: 440 Book Type: Paperback Dimensions: 230mm x 153mm ISBN: 9781923300064\nUncover a forgotten battle off Australia’s shores. Join Dr Tom Lewis as he reveals in his new book a battle off NSW between the Royal Australian Air Force and a Japanese submarine. \nThe official history of the Royal Australian Air Force claims that no enemy submarines operating off the Australian coast during World War II were sunk. But what if history got it wrong? \nIn a fierce and decisive air action off the coast of New South Wales\, RAAF Beaufort bombers engaged a colossal Japanese submarine over 100 meters long. What followed was a deadly duel between the submarine’s anti-aircraft guns and the bombers’ machine guns. The I-178\, with her crew of 88\, lies lost somewhere north of Sydney. The events of that day have been lost —until now. \nIn this groundbreaking work – Tom Lewis\, one of Australia’s leading military historians – rewrites the history books. ‘The Secret Submarine’ not only reveals a forgotten victory but also immerses readers in the harrowing experiences of those who served in WWII bombers and submarines. Additionally\, it chronicles the broader\, brutal struggle between Japanese forces and the combined might of the USA and Australia\, a conflict that saw over 40 ships sunk and countless lives lost off Australia’s east coast. \n  \nDr Tom Lewis OAM is a military historian & the author of 22 books. He is also a retired naval officer who served in combat; a retired secondary school teacher\, pilot\, and scuba divemaster. He was the Director of Darwin Military Museum in its redevelopment from 2009 to 2013. His Order of Australia was bestowed on him for services to naval history. He has won numerous prizes for his literary works\, the most recent being as the national winner of the 2021 Australian Naval Institute’s Commodore Sam Bateman Book Prize for Teddy Sheean VC. \nCopies of the books will be available for purchase and be signed by the author.

SUMMARY:Immortals - Clayton Tremlett
DESCRIPTION:Discover a compelling exploration of history and memory through the eyes of Central Victorian artist Clayton Tremlett in our latest exhibition. After more than six years of dedicated research\, Tremlett presents a comparative portrait study of sixty-six First World War Digger memorials\, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the faces that have stood as silent sentinels for a century. \nTremlett’s meticulous process involved visiting\, documenting\, and researching each monument\, often capturing their likeness at sunrise to harness the purest light. His work results in powerful screen prints that mirror the iconic First World War studio portraits\, allowing you to see these memorials in a new light—both literally and figuratively. \nThe exhibition also sheds new light on August Rietman\, the most prolific Victorian sculptor of Digger statues. A pacifist of Swiss-German heritage\, Rietman’s figures are celebrated as the quintessential Aussie Digger. Tremlett’s research reveals that Rietman’s contributions to these monuments are far more significant than previously thought\, with at least fifteen statues attributed to his craftsmanship. \nImmerse yourself in this fusion of art\, history\, and research\, and witness the faces of our past brought vividly to life. \n  \n5 October 2024 – 13 April 2025

SUMMARY:Dive! Australian submariners at war. Presented by Mike Carlton
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 19 February 2025 7:00PM-8:00PM \n \n \nSubmariners are a special breed. Not for them a life on the ocean wave\, the fresh air and sunshine of other naval sailors. With stealth and daring they go deep and dark\, alone and unseen\, in often dangerous waters. They sometimes call themselves the Silent Service\, with good reason. \nAustralian submariners have done extraordinary deeds in the First and Second World Wars and\, more recently\, the Cold War. In April 1915 the Australian submarine AE2 penetrated the Dardanelles Strait to ‘run amuck’\, a historic feat that was a turning point in the Gallipoli campaign. Eventually captured\, her crew spent three harrowing years as prisoners-of-war in Turkey. \nIn the Second World War Australian naval volunteers made their name serving in midget submarines\, attacking Hitler’s mightiest battleship\, the Tirpitz\, in the icy waters of a Norwegian fjord. Later\, they fought the Japanese in the South China Sea. \nAnd in the last half of the twentieth century\, RAN submarines played a vital role tracking the Soviet navy in the Pacific Ocean. One wrong move could have led to outright war. The risks they ran\, the perils they met and the intelligence they gathered are still classified Top Secret. \nSubmarines and the sailors who serve in them have been and remain the tip of the spear of Australia’s defences. For the first time\, this is their unique story. \n \nAbout the presenter \nMike Carlton \nIn a working life of more than fifty years\, Mike Carlton was one of Australia’s best-known media figures in radio\, television and newspapers. \nBeginning as a cadet journalist at the ABC\, he became a war correspondent in Vietnam and for three years was the ABC’s Bureau Chief in Jakarta. He also reported for the ABC from London\, New York and major Asian capitals. In television\, he worked on the ABC’s groundbreaking This Day Tonight current affairs program in the 1970s and for Nine Network News and A Current Affair. \nIn 1980 Mike turned to talk radio\, first at Sydney’s 2UE and then 2GB\, and later at London’s LBC Newstalk 97.3FM\, where he won a coveted Sony Radio Academy award in 1993 for Britain’s best talk breakfast show. His radio satire on current affairs\, Friday News Review\, was ‘must listening’ in Australia and the UK. \nFor many years he wrote a popular weekly column for the Sydney Morning Herald. \nMike has had a life-long passion for naval history and is the author of Cruiser\, First Victory\, Flagship and The Scrap Iron Flotilla. \nClick here to read a review of this book.

SUMMARY:Designing Remembrance - Alternate visions for Victoria's war memorial
DESCRIPTION:Step back into history and witness a lively debate of the 1920s come to life. Our latest exhibition commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Shrine of Remembrance\, offering a nostalgic experience that\, for the first time\, delves into the forgotten designs for Victoria’s War Memorial. \n \nExplore the entries of the 1921 War Memorial design competition\, each a testament to the social and political tapestry of that time. From grand monuments to humble sanctuaries\, you’ll discover the different visions that once competed for a place in the heart of Victoria. Reflect on the questions that challenged Victorians of yesteryear: should a memorial honour the past or herald the future? Should it be grandiose or modest\, solemn or hopeful? Decide for yourself whether the Shrine of Remembrance was the best choice for the National War Memorial of Victoria. \nOffering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the past\, visitors can examine detailed plans\, conceptual drawings and correspondence\, and eavesdrop on conversations between designers and builders from the 1920s\, gaining insight into the creative process behind the Shrine’s inception. \nAs we celebrate the Shrine’s 90th anniversary\, this exhibition serves as a poignant reflection on the roads not taken. Join us in rediscovering the untold stories behind the designs that paved the way for the enduring legacy of the Shrine of Remembrance. \n13 August 2024 – August 2025

This immersive exhibition brings you personal stories from cooks on submarines to soldiers with field rations\, showcasing the skill and adaptability of Defence chefs. Whether cooking in combat zones or delivering fine dining for diplomats\, these chefs embody resilience and creativity. \nDiscover what First World War soldiers thought of their rations\, hear stories from the most unexpected “field kitchens\,” and find out what’s in a modern-day ration pack.

SUMMARY:The Final Chapter: Purpose\, Endurance\, and Legacy 1961-66 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The period from 1961-66 was the final phase of the Menzies era\, yet in some respects it was the most remarkable. \n \nAfter a near defeat at the 1961 election\, Menzies held a razor thin majority and many assumed that he would ride off into the political sunset. \nHowever\, if anything the near miss reinvigorated him\, spurring a new wave of policy innovation in the introduction of State Aid for independent schools\, major investments in science education and the space race\, and laying the groundwork for the decimal currency. \nOn the geopolitical front\, it was a time of heightened danger in which a full-scale war with Indonesia loomed as a very real possibility\, prompting a major overhaul of the Australian Defence Force and a controversial commitment to Vietnam. \nPapers to be presented include: \nMichael de Percy\, From the bottom of the sea to the moon: Menzies and Australia’s communications golden age \nLucas McLennan\, Australian anti-Communist organisations in the Vietnam War debate \nAndrew Carr & Peter Dean\, The ADF Menzies Built \nTom Lewis\, The Menzies defence legacy: wise\, brave\, and enduring \nDamien Freeman & Dean Smith\, Recommending an Appointment to the Sovereign \n\nDownload the flyer here: \nTo register or for more information click here:

SUMMARY:Immortals - Clayton Tremlett
DESCRIPTION:Discover a compelling exploration of history and memory through the eyes of Central Victorian artist Clayton Tremlett in our latest exhibition. After more than six years of dedicated research\, Tremlett presents a comparative portrait study of sixty-six First World War Digger memorials\, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the faces that have stood as silent sentinels for a century. \nTremlett’s meticulous process involved visiting\, documenting\, and researching each monument\, often capturing their likeness at sunrise to harness the purest light. His work results in powerful screen prints that mirror the iconic First World War studio portraits\, allowing you to see these memorials in a new light—both literally and figuratively. \nThe exhibition also sheds new light on August Rietman\, the most prolific Victorian sculptor of Digger statues. A pacifist of Swiss-German heritage\, Rietman’s figures are celebrated as the quintessential Aussie Digger. Tremlett’s research reveals that Rietman’s contributions to these monuments are far more significant than previously thought\, with at least fifteen statues attributed to his craftsmanship. \nImmerse yourself in this fusion of art\, history\, and research\, and witness the faces of our past brought vividly to life. \n  \n5 October 2024 – 13 April 2025

His work results in powerful screen prints that mirror the iconic First World War studio portraits\, allowing you to see these memorials in a new light—both literally and figuratively. \nThe exhibition also sheds new light on August Rietman\, the most prolific Victorian sculptor of Digger statues. A pacifist of Swiss-German heritage\, Rietman’s figures are celebrated as the quintessential Aussie Digger. Tremlett’s research reveals that Rietman’s contributions to these monuments are far more significant than previously thought\, with at least fifteen statues attributed to his craftsmanship. \nImmerse yourself in this fusion of art\, history\, and research\, and witness the faces of our past brought vividly to life. \n  \n5 October 2024 – 13 April 2025
