SUMMARY:Dusted Off
DESCRIPTION:The National Vietnam Veterans Museum is proud to present the show\, Dusted Off which is as much about Vietnam as it is about family. \nIt is as much about war as it is about love. It is as much a story of one man and one family\, as it is the story of all our young men\, who fight anywhere and return home to pick up the pieces. \nActor\, musician and singer/songwriter Brett Hunt brings to the stage with alacrity and passion\, the story of his family and his father Frank Hunt – the eponymous Frankie who ‘kicked the mine the day man landed on the moon’. Just as in John Schuman’s I Was Only 19\, Frank Hunt in Dusted Off is an everyman\, and this one-man play\, through music and monologue\, explores the legacies of war\, of post-traumatic stress\, and of a family’s survival and redemption through intergenerational trauma. \nIt is not a case for war\, nor a glorification\, nor a regret. It is a universal exploration of a young veteran’s motivations\, injuries and efforts to keep a family together through indescribably tough circumstances. It is a tale of generations of veterans\, and Brett’s birthright to tell\, as a son\, grandson and great grandson of men who fought. Described as a troubadour\, a journeyman\, and a keeper of the flame\, Brett is fundamentally a storyteller. The stories he tells are gripping and authentic. \nWith soundscape and script\, Dusted Off is an enthralling and uplifting one act play that will take you on a journey – one that will never be forgotten. \nCome along to the Museum on Saturday 27 April to be enthralled by this fascinating show. Bryan Dawe will be MC for the evening. \nTicket prices are $35 and $30 concession and include a light supper after the show where you can meet Brett and Bryan.\nTickets must be bought online at: https://www.trybooking.com/BAKUJ

SUMMARY:Unconquered - Our Wounded Warriors - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Unconquered: Our Wounded Warriors tells the remarkable story of a group of men and women from Australia and New Zealand who fought and conquered extraordinary challenges from the battlefield to the sporting arena. These veterans of the Army\, Navy and Air Force served their country in campaigns from Somalia to Afghanistan and the multitude of conflicts in between\, and share the common scars of their service\, both apparent and invisible. \nFor these men and women\, now confronting the trials of daily life\, the Invictus Games provided a further challenge\, a chance to test their mettle in the sporting arena representing the country for which they had fought. ‘Invictus’ is the Latin word for ‘unconquered’ or ‘undefeated’ — a perfect description of these veterans who now fight their own personal battles. Through the power of sport\, they have proven that they can overcome the mental and physical trauma\ninflicted by their service. This beautifully illustrated volume allows us to share their story of service\, sacrifice and courage\, and gain an insight into their dogged determination to triumph in the face of adversity. \nUnconquered: Our Wounded Warriors is a deeply personal and human account of the trauma of armed conflict and the suffering that continues long after the sounds of battle have died away. It highlights the power of the individual to overcome fear\, wounds both mental and physical\, and lifelong disability and inspires those of us who have never served to cope with our own challenges. These are stories of courage pure and simple and of the men and women who defied the odds to remain unconquered.

SUMMARY:Sir John Monash : a personal view
DESCRIPTION:Waverley Historical Society invites you to an afternoon with Professor Bill Brown as he presents his talk… “Sir John Monash : a personal view” \nDate: Wed 24th April\, 2pm Venue : Waverley Historical Society\, 41 Miller Cres. Mt Waverley… \nWe are above the library and up the stairs\, or take the lift on the left once you have entered the library foyer. \nPlease bring some afternoon tea or a gold coin donation. \nJohn Monash was an engineer\, a lawyer\, leader of the Australian Corps in France in 1918 and founder of the SEC. Both Ted Baillieu (former Premier of Victoria) and Roland Perry (the author of “MONASH – the Outsider who Won a War”) argue that Sir John was the greatest Australian ever. Professor Bill Brown will relate some interesting facts about Sir John’s life. \nBill Brown was a student at the University of Melbourne where he graduated with an Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) in 1960. While working on his Master of Engineering Science he was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to undertake a PhD at Queen’s University\, Belfast. Returning to Melbourne in 1964\, he was appointed Lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Monash University. In 1967 he became Senior Lecturer\, and then Associate Professor in 1974. Brown’s research interests were in control systems; initially the theory of computer control and then the application of computer control in the bioengineering area. Brown was heavily involved in the establishment of a number of major centres in the department as well as the negotiations related to the amalgamation with the Chisholm Institute of Technology.

SUMMARY:Aftermath: Australia after the Great War.
DESCRIPTION:When the last shots were fired on 11th November\, 1918 and the Great War came to an end it was of course not the end. \n \n \nThe consequences and the fallout from the four years of unprecedented carnage were only beginning; the effects on the nations and the people of the world would play out over many years to come. Empires crumbled\, national boundaries were re-drawn and in international affairs the seeds of the next global conflict were being sown. These broad-scale effects were being seen in Australia but we were also affected significantly at a personal level. So many young men were killed or seriously disabled that there would not have been a family in Australia who was not affected in some way by this nation-wide bereavement. \nOn Saturday\, 6th April 2019\, Military History and Heritage Victoria will hold a conference to explore the effects of the war and its aftermath on Australia at a national level and on the Australian people at a personal level. We will hear papers on the repatriation of the AIF from Europe and the Middle East; the impact on Australia’s relations with the world; the effects on Australian society; the soldier settlement scheme; the work of the Repatriation Commission and the heart-breaking efforts of bereaved families to find information about killed or missing loved ones. All these and other topics will be integrated in a key note address that will draw together all that has affected Australia in the aftermath of the Great War and help us to understand how it has continued to affect us even to the present. \nThere will be a panel of eminent speakers who are well credentialed in their fields and will bring a high level of interest and authority to the conference deliberations. \nFurther details and the conference program can be downloaded here. \nTo register and book your ticket click here \nMHHV Members and Concession card holders $50.00 \nGeneral Admission $75.00

SUMMARY:The Zipper
DESCRIPTION:Following open heart surgery\, our internal wiring goes a little haywire – and the results\, surprisingly\, can be absolutely hilarious! \nOur heart objects to having been interfered with\, stopped and bypassed for a period even\, and quite mysteriously gives instructions to the mind to seek revenge! To stuff things around a little. “Do not\,” surgeons warn their patients\, “make any major decisions for quite some time after your operation because you’re NQR — Not Quite Right.” \nIn the retirement village Emerald Waters\, a group of heart bypass patients in rehab are learning to deal with this. Bernard Clancy’s stunningly poignant and heartfelt play “The Zipper” tells their stories\, from serious to downright hilarious and zany. One thing’s for sure\, their closeted little world will never be the same again… \nThe last time playwright Bernard Clancy teamed up with the inimitable director Wolf Heidecker for Clancy’s compellingly powerful play “Foxholes of the Mind” for performances at La Mama and on tour throughout Victoria in 2016 including the National Vietnam Veterans Museum\, their work was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike for its edge-of-the-seat entertainment. \n“The Zipper” is just as sharp. And the humour cuts like a heart surgeon’s scalpel! \nProduced by WHAM – Written by Bernard Clancy – Directed by Wolf Heidecker \nFeaturing: Phil Roberts\, David Macrae\, Rosemary Johns\, Vixey Teh\, Rosalind Romney\, Phil Zachariah\, Donna Barnard and Karan Bhatia. \nSet Design Sarah Yeung – LX/Designer+Op Richard Lyford-Pike – Production Assistant Natulie Moffatt\, Stage Hand Ethan Moffatt \n23rd March 2019 at 7:30 pm \nTickets: $40/$35 concession – includes a light supper after the performance.\nOnline-Bookings only: www.trybooking.com/ZOPU

SUMMARY:For Humanity Medicine in war and peacekeeping since 1945 - Exhibition - Last weeks
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition tells the story of medical care in war and peacekeeping since 1945… \nVictorian men and women have helped the sick and wounded across the world\, including in Korea\, Malaya\, Vietnam\, Rwanda\, East Timor\, Iraq and Afghanistan. They have braved sometimes dire conditions and desperate circumstances\, often coming under direct threat of death and harm. \nThe exhibition explores themes of life\, death and compassion: what it means to preserve life when those around you are taking it; why enemies need treatment as much as your own do; how the long term health effects of service can become apparent only decades later; and how minds can be wounded and need treatment just as bodies

SUMMARY:Fearless in Serbia
DESCRIPTION:Dr Mary De Garis of Victoria (1881–1963) was of the first ‘generation’ of Australian women to graduate from medicine in 1905. During the First World War\, Mary worked as a surgeon in a 200-bed tent hospital in northern Macedonia\, near the Balkan Front\, under the Serbian Army. \nJoin Dr Ruth Lee as she reclaims Mary’s experiences from the margins of First World War. Discover Mary’s reasons for joining the Scottish Women’s Hospitals in 1916—an organisation formed to contribute all-women\, mobile medical units to the Imperial war effort—and why her courageous service remains unknown in Australia. \nBy uncovering stories such as Mary’s we develop richer\, deeper understandings that are transformative of history and oneself. \nPresenter: Dr Ruth Lee\nDate: Friday 8 March\, midday\nLocation: Education Centre\, Shrine of Remembrance\nCost: $5.00\, free for Shrine Friends

SUMMARY:For Humanity Medicine in war and peacekeeping since 1945 - Exhibition - Last weeks
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition tells the story of medical care in war and peacekeeping since 1945… \nVictorian men and women have helped the sick and wounded across the world\, including in Korea\, Malaya\, Vietnam\, Rwanda\, East Timor\, Iraq and Afghanistan. They have braved sometimes dire conditions and desperate circumstances\, often coming under direct threat of death and harm. \nThe exhibition explores themes of life\, death and compassion: what it means to preserve life when those around you are taking it; why enemies need treatment as much as your own do; how the long term health effects of service can become apparent only decades later; and how minds can be wounded and need treatment just as bodies do.

SUMMARY:Till they all come home: Concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Welsh Male Choir will mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice with Till They All Come Home\, a concert expected to pack out Melbourne Town Hall on Sunday 11 November\, 3pm.\n \nThe choir hopes that veterans and their families (and others) will make a day of it and come to the concert after Remembrance Day commemorations. RSL members are eligible for a concession price ticket. \nThe 65-strong choir will be joined by ‚ÄúAustralia‚Äôs leading lady of musical theatre‚Äù\, Marina Prior\, and music legend Mike Brady AM. Much of the accompaniment will be provided by the Australian Youth Band. \nTill They All Come Home is the brain child of Mike Lyons\, who at 86\, is one of the choir‚Äôs oldest members. Lyons was born a Londoner\, and lived through the Blitz and the Battle of Britain. \n‚ÄúTill They All Come Home celebrates the music of both World War I and World War II\,‚Äù Lyons said. \n‚ÄúWorld War Iled inexorably to World War II and\, despite the passage of time\, both wars continue to resonate globally. Both continue to have dramatic and lasting effects on Australia. So much horror\, so much death\, so many lives otherwise destroyed. \n‚ÄúThrough all of this\, music both comforted and inspired. Some songs were not much more than propaganda and were destined to disappear before or soon after the cessation of hostilities. Others became big hits and have endured.‚Äù \nGrowing up during the London Blitz\, Lyons became aware of the power of music through his father\, who served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in World War I\, and was part of a musical concert troupe entertaining servicemen and women in World War II. \n‚ÄúMusic helped us to both survive and appreciate life\, whatever the circumstances. There was no television so music\, especially live music\, was prized. Our family was twice bombed out of home by the Luftwaffe but we could put brave faces to the world thanks to songs such as Vera Lynn‚Äôs ‚ÄòWhite Cliffs of Dover‚Äô and ‚ÄòWe‚Äôll meet again‚Äô.‚Äù \nMarina Prior will perform a Vera Lynn medley with the choir as well as ‚ÄúWe‚Äôll Gather Lilacs‚Äù\, ‚ÄúSally Pride of our Alley‚Äù\, ‚ÄúWish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye)‚Äù and the Edith Piaf standard\, ‚ÄúLa Vie en Rose‚Äù. Prior‚Äôs grandfather was a World War I ANZAC\, as were all his brothers. He was shot three times and sent back to the front three times. He was only 19. She has all his records. \nPrior has performed over thirty lead roles in stage shows throughout Australia\, most memorably as Christine Daae in the original Australian production of The Phantom of the Opera\, a role she performed for three years. \nThe choir‚Äôs program includes a medley of songs from both wars\, a Gershwin showcase\, and some favourites ‚ÄúCwm Rhondda‚Äù and ‚ÄúThe World in Union‚Äù. With Mike Brady\, they will also perform Eric Bogle‚Äôs 1980 hit about World War 1\, ‚ÄúNo Man‚Äôs Land (Willie McBride)‚Äù. \nLyons said the choir was proud to be joined by singer\, songwriter and producer\, Mike Brady. \n‚ÄúOn ANZAC Day at the MCG this year\, 10 of our choristers joined forces with members of the Australian Women‚Äôs Choir to form the backing group for the debut performance of ‚ÄòThis Place is Their Place‚Äô\, Mike Brady‚Äôs song about the RSL. It was a great occasion. \n‚ÄúAt our concert\, Mike will again perform this song with us as well as another song of his\, called ‘Let it Shine’.‚Äù \nBrady‚Äôs father\, Robert\, was a Dubliner who enlisted with the British Army in 1940 and landed in Normandy a month after D-Day\, taking part in the fierce battles around Caen. His tour of duty took him through Belgium and Holland before he was wounded in 1945 and transferred to the Royal Engineers. After the war\, he served in Malaya\, repairing war damage and constructing airfields. Two of Brady‚Äôs great-uncles lost their lives on the Somme during World War I. \nBrady has been a household name since the seventies when his song\, ‚ÄúUp There Cazaly‚Äù\, became the biggest selling Australian single of all time and is now the unofficial anthem of Australian Rules Football. \n‚ÄúThe choir is also thrilled to have the Australian Youth Band (AYB) on board\,‚Äù Lyons said. ‚ÄúThe AYB is Victoria‚Äôs premier youth performance ensemble and has performed all over Australia at popular regional festivals\, major sporting events\, marching band festivals and corporate functions. It‚Äôs also done nine international tours.‚Äù \nTill The Boys Come Home: Songs & Music from World Wars 1 & 2 is the choir‚Äôs best-selling CD. The concert was initially going to be called Till The Boys Come Home but the choir decided that\, given the significant number of women who served\, particularly during World War II\, it was more appropriate to use the more inclusive Till They All Come Home. \nMelbourne Town Hall is the right place for the concert\, Lyons says ‚Äì it was a major recruitment centre during World War I and the Victorian centre for the Australian Comforts Fund (originally the Lady Mayoress‚Äôs Patriotic League) which organised ‚Äòcomforts‚Äô for soldiers on the battlefields. \nDavid Ashton-Smith OAM\, who became the choir‚Äôs director in early 2016\, will direct the concert. \nThe Melbourne Welsh Male Choir\, which formed in 1984\, is the youngest of the three Welsh male choirs in Victoria. Currently\, it has around 65 members\, ranging in age from the mid-40s to 88. Only 10-15 of the singers actually hail from Wales but most claim either Welsh heritage or links to the UK. Four of the choir committee of ten are called David. Choir members wear suits with yellow ties as the daffodil is the national flower of Wales. \nPart of the proceeds will be donated to RSL Victoria\, who look after the service veterans of all conflicts. and the LEGACY organisation\, which cares for the widows and families of those left behind.\nMedia comment: Mike Lyons\, Melbourne Welsh Male Choir: 0415 926 550; michael_j_lyons@hotmail.com \nMedia enquiries: Carmel Shute\, Shute the Messenger\, 0412 569 356; carmel@shute-the-messenger.com \nTill They All Come Home\n3pm Sunday 11 November\nMelbourne Town Hall\, 90 Swanston Street\, Melbourne (accessible)\nTickets: $50/$45 (concession; RSL members)\n03 9800 3889; 0421 391 253 or book through https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=412514& \nMarina Prior Bio\nMarina Prior is known as the leading lady of Australia‚Äôs musical theatre. She has performed over thirty lead roles in stage shows throughout Australia. Possibly her most memorable is her role as Christine Daae in the original Australian production of The Phantom of the Opera\, which she performed for three years. \nMarina has sung with symphony orchestras throughout Australia\, including a critically acclaimed Australasian concert tour with international tenor\, Jos√© Carreras. \nShe is also well known to television audiences through her appearances on such shows as Carols by Candlelight\, as a judge on Channel Seven‚Äôs It Takes Two and as Iris in The ABC series The Divorce. \nMarina has recorded seven CDs. In October\, she will join Il Divo on their national tour.\nhttp://markgogoll.com/marina-prior/ \nMike Brady Bio\nMike Brady was born in England and moved with his family to Australia when he was 11 years old. His recording career began in the mid-60s with the formation of MPD Ltd (Mike\, Pete & Danny). The group toured overseas\, including England\, and when MPD disbanded\, Mike toured extensively throughout Vietnam during the war. \nFrom the 70s onwards\, Mike spent the majority of his time building his career as a record producer and a producer and writer of some of Australia‚Äôs most catchy advertising jingles for television and radio. His promotional song for Channel Seven‚Äôs football program\, ‚ÄúUp There Cazaly‚Äù\, went on to be the biggest selling Australian single of all time\, with sales in excess of 250\,000 and has become the unofficial anthem of all Australian Rules Football fans. \nMike‚Äôs record production company\, Full Moon Records\, was responsible for two hugely successful singles\, Mark Jackson‚Äôs ‚ÄúI‚Äôm An Individual‚Äù and Joe Dolce‚Äôs ‚ÄúShuddap You Face‚Äù. \nIn 2013 Mike was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for services to the community and to music as a composer and performer. In 2017 Mike was named Victorian of the Year in a ceremony in the Melbourne Town Hall.\nhttp://www.mikebrady.net.au/about-mike.html \nDavid Ashton-Smith OAM Bio\nDavid studied singing in Melbourne for 10 years before going to London in 1971 where he sang principal roles with The English National Opera Co. \nSince returning to Australia in late 1979\, has maintained a varied and high-profile music performing career which included setting up his own choir the Ashton Smith Singers\, in addition to teaching singing and being a sought-after vocal adjudicator. \nAs Managing Director of the Australian Pops Orchestra during 2005-9 he was responsible for mounting major concerts at the Sydney Opera House and at Hamer Hall at the Victorian Arts Centre\, as well as major corporate events at Crown Palladium and the Sofitel Collins Street. \nDavid is closely associated with ‚ÄòAustralian Music Events‚Äô and has put together the orchestra for ‚ÄòOpera in the Alps‚Äô and ‚ÄòOpera in the Market‚Äô in recent years. \nHe became Music Director of the Melbourne Welsh Male Choir in May 2016 and enjoys writing arrangements for the choir. \nWith such experience\, David is well equipped to manage an event as significant as the Till They All Come Home concert. \nIn 2016 David‚Äôs musical career hit a high note\, when he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to music.

He has been described as a living national treasure. \nProfessor Blainey has been asked to reflect on the impact of the First World War on Australia and the legacy impacts after the Armistice. \n \nScarcely a family was left untouched; the survivors needed both physical and mental care as did the widows and orphans\, all generating a massive repatriation scheme. The shortage of eligible husbands and unemployment interacted with some changed social attitudes\, plus continuing social divisions and suspicions\, to offset the increased confidence about national undertakings. \nGeoffrey Blainey has written authoritative texts on the economic and social history of Australia and published over 35 books\, including wide-ranging histories of the world and of Christianity. \nHe was one of five intellectuals awarded a UN Gold Medal in 1988 for ‚Äòexcellence in the dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of mankind‚Äô. \nGeoffrey Blainey was once described by Professor Graeme Davison as the ‚Äúmost prolific\, wide-ranging\, inventive and most controversial of Australia’s living historians‚Äù. \nAs the most insightful historian of his generation Geoffrey Blainey‚Äôs address promises to be highly considered and encourage deep reflection. He has also agreed to take questions from the audience. \nLunch includes two-courses\, beer and wine in magnificent surrounds.\n Dress: Jacket and tie for gentlemen and equivalent for ladies. Medals.\n Address: 87 Collins Street\, Melbourne.\n Timings: 12.30 for 1.00 pm on Sunday 11 November 2018.\n Cost: MHHV members – $100. Non-MHHV Members – $110. \nNo concessions available. \n¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†
