SUMMARY:Centenary of the Royal Australian Naval College at Osborne House.
DESCRIPTION:The Osborne Park Association Inc with the generous assistance of the RAN and the City of Greater Geelong proudly presents a Centenary event celebrating the foundation of the Royal Australian Naval College\, established at Osborne House\, Swinburne Street North Geelong in 1913.\nOn March 2nd at 10.30am the centenary program begins with a parade march comprising a guard contingent from HMAS Cerberus\, naval cadets\, the RAN Band\, plus serving and former Defence members. The march departs from the Vietnam Veterans memorial on the corner of Melbourne Road and Swinburne Street to Osborne House where official proceedings commence with an inspection of cadets by the Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Ray Griggs AO CSC RAN \nVice Admiral Peter Jones AO DSC RAN will deliver an address on the history of the RANC and Commander Australian Fleet Rear Admiral Tim Barrett AM CSC RAN will address the services of Navy personnel. Following presentations\, a plaque will be unveiled acknowledging Osborne House as Australia’s first Royal Australian Naval College.  At approximately midday The Tall Ship Enterprise will fire a canon salute from Corio Bay to mark the occasion. An exhibition of historic photographs and information panels will be on display within areas of Osborne House and both the Geelong Maritime Museum and the Vietnam Veterans Museum will be open from 1pm till 4pm Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday March 3rd. \nThe importance to Australia of the opening of the college at Osborne House on March 1st 1913 is indisputable and it is important we commemorate this centenary of national significance\, claiming Geelong’s rightful place in Navy history \nUntil 1913\, Navy Cadets were sent to England for Officer Training. The fledgling Australian Navy sought to have cadets trained at home so as not to lose their “Australianness” but the facility at Jervis Bay in NSW would not be completed for several years. A temporary facility was therefore investigated and Osborne House was selected to become the first Royal Australian Naval College. The first two intakes of Cadet Midshipmen as 13 year old boys [28 in each year] came to Geelong from all over Australia to commence their officer training. They transferred to Jervis Bay in 1915 and subsequently entered WW2. Several officers\, such as John Collins\, Harry Farncomb\, Hector Waller\, James Esdaile\, Norm Calder and Jack Newman to name but a few\, forged stellar careers in the navy and their subsequent endeavours\, and are acknowledged as eminent Australians. \nThis centenary event recognises 100 years of Navy service and sacrifice and marks a significant milestone for both Australia’s Navy and Geelong’s history. \nCheryl Scott:  OPA Event Coordinator \nContact:    0418324100 \nEast Wing РOsborne House\, Swinburne St\, North Geelong \nP.O.

SUMMARY:The Enemy Within  Internment and Prisoner of War Camps in Victoria 1939-47
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the experiences of prisoners of war and civilian internees in Victoria during the Second World War (1939-45) and discover a little known aspect of Australia’s history. This exhibition explores the impacts on prisoners of war and internees who lived and worked in camps. Between 1939 and 1947 rural Victoria hosted eight internment and prisoner of war camps from the network that was scattered across Australia. The camps operated as communities and incorporated canteens\, hospitals\, dental and recreational facilities and schools.\nBy 1947 almost 26\,000 prisoners of war and 15\,000 internees had experienced the camp system\, living in tin huts behind barbed wire. They were known as the ‘enemy’ or ‘enemy aliens’. The notion of nationality became a divise issue of war on the home front and the experience of internment would have a lasting impact on Australia’s migrant and wider community.

SUMMARY:By the Seat of their Pants - Australian Airmen and their Machines 1915-1918
DESCRIPTION:The Great War saw the emergence of an Australian Flying Corps (AFC)\, which by 1918 was making a tangible contribution to Allied air operations in the Middle East and on the Western Front. Over the operational phases of the war\, the airmen and ground crews adapted to new aircraft types while facing a determined enemy with first-class machines of their own. Some Australian airmen became ‘aces’\, others were shot down and captured; many were killed or disabled. But the war in the air had its own character and culture\, and chivalry remained despite the ferocity of the combat.  Almost 100 years on\, this symposium aims to explore growing interest both by academic and professional historians in the Australian Flying Corps during these years\, especially with regard to the many human factors involved as well as the evolving aircraft technology and tactics. \nWhere did the Australians fit in to Allied air operations? How did they rate as pilots and units? How did they adapt to new aircraft types and tactics? How did they fare against a skilful and well-led enemy? What was their POW experience? Who were our ‘aces?’ How were airmen and the air war represented in an emerging media? These are some of the questions this symposium seeks to address. \nThis one-day conference presents papers from a range of historians\, authors and other subject matter specialists in and around the setting of the aircraft and displays of the RAAF Museum at the historic Point Cook base. A Panel session will conclude the day’s proceedings before attendees are invited to further explore the Museum and its facilities. \n2012 marks 100 years since the Federal Government purchased the land at Point Cook which became the home of the first AFC flying school. The facility trained many Australian airmen before and during WWI; a role it continues to play today. Through the generous co-operation and good will of the staff concerned\, the conference will take place in the heart of the RAAF Museum surrounded by the aeroplanes\, artefacts and displays that represents the rich history and the very essence of AFC/RAAF aviation. \nExclusive Use  \nThe RAAF Museum at Point Cook has given MHHV exclusive use for Monday 12 November 2012 to hold this important and engaging one day conference\, which will be held right in the Museum itself among its heritage collection of WWI aircraft and artefacts. Delegates will be able to purchase items from the Museum shop. \nFlight by Sopwith Pup  \nPoint Cook is the cradle of Australian military aviation\, and as a special event during the conference for our delegates\, a live flight of the Museum’s heritage Sopwith Pup is planned during the lunch break. \nTicketing  \nThis special MHHV Event will provide a discounted entry for Concession holders and MHHV Organisation Members and MHHV Individual Members. Seating will be limited to 80\, on a first in\, first served basis\, regardless of MHHV membership. \nIncluded in the ticket will be morning and afternoon tea and lunch. \nClick here to purchase your ticket online \n  \nClick here to download the registration form to pay by cheque \n Click here to download the full Conference Programme 12 November 2012 \n\n\n \nConference sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Between Fact and Fiction\, History and Mythology: the Writing of a Gallipoli Story
DESCRIPTION:Join one of the world’s leading Gallipoli scholars Bruce Scates for a discussion of his ‚Äòimagined history‚Äô of the Anzac Landing and beyond. This talk will explore the research underpinning Professor Scates‚Äô most recent book On Dangerous Ground: A Gallipoli Story\, examine the contested truths of the past and consider the enduring importance of Gallipoli in our national consciousness.\n \nOn Dangerous Ground is about unresolved loss\, the need to know\, and a story of reconciliation that bridges countries and generations. Fusing literature\, fiction and history\, it journeys across a real and imagined landscape\, empowering voices and lives too long locked in the archives. Steeped in a deep knowledge of the past and courageously contemporary\, it asks what Gallipoli means in the twenty-first century. Professor Bruce Scates has led several battlefield tours of Gallipoli\, Crete and the Western Front. He also leads the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Tour at the express invitation of the Premier of Victoria. Bruce is the author of several acclaimed studies of memory and war\, including Return to Gallipoli: Walking the Battlefields of the Great War and A Place to Remember: A History of Victoria’s Shrine of Remembrance both published by Cambridge University Press. On Dangerous Ground: A Gallipoli Story is available now from UWA Publishing. \nCost: Free\, bookings essential \nEmail: muma.rsvp@monash.edu \nPh: 9905 4217

SUMMARY:Australia’s Gifted Lost Generation of World War I
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr Ross McMullin\nRoss McMullin’s latest book\, Farewell\, Dear People: Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation\,  contains extended biographies of ten extraordinary but long forgotten  men whose loss was devastating to the nation as well as to their  families. \nDr McMullin’s illustrated presentation will examine the remarkable stories he has retrieved. \nCost: Members Free \n$10.00 Non-Members \nFor Australia\, a new nation with a relatively small population\, the   death of 60\,000 soldiers during the Great War was calamitous. As a   result\, Australians evaluating the consequences of the conflict have   tended to focus\, not surprisingly\, on the collective impact of the   numbing number of losses. \nThat there must have been exceptional individuals among them has been   implicitly understood\, but these special Australians are unknown  today.  Ross McMullin’s latest book\, Farewell\, Dear People: Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation\,   contains extended biographies of ten extraordinary but long forgotten   men whose loss was devastating to the nation as well as to their   families. \nDr McMullin’s illustrated presentation will examine the remarkable stories he has retrieved. \nGeoff McCrae\, the book’s first biography\, was a budding architect   from Melbourne’s best-known creative dynasty who combined an endearing   personality with his family’s flair for writing and drawing. \nThere is also an internationally acclaimed medical researcher; a   Western Australian Rhodes scholar assured of a shining future in the law   and/or politics; a popular farmer who became the inspiration for the   celebrated film Gallipoli; a military officer described by his   brigadier as potentially an Australian Kitchener; an engineer who   excelled during Mawson’s Antarctic mission; a rising Labor star; a   talented barrister with a vivid personality; a Tasmanian footballer who   dazzled at the highest level; and a visionary vigneron from South   Australia.Historian and biographer Ross McMullin has written extensively   about Australia in World War I and Australian political history. \nDr McMullin’s biography Pompey Elliott won awards for biography and literature\, and Will Dyson: Australia’s Radical Genius was shortlisted for the National Biography Award.He wrote the ALP centenary history The Light on the Hill: The Australian Labor Party 1891-1991\, and also So Monstrous a Travesty: Chris Watson and the World’s First National Labour Government. His latest book\, Farewell\, Dear People: Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation\, is a multi-biography about Australians of exceptional promise who died in the Great War.
