SUMMARY:Broken Nation
DESCRIPTION:The Great War is\, for many Australians\, the event that defined our nation. The larrikin diggers\, trench warfare\, and the landing at Gallipoli have become the stuff of the Anzac ‘legend’. But it was also a war fought by the families at home. Their resilience in the face of hardship\, their stoic acceptance of enormous casualty lists and their belief that their cause was just\, made the war effort possible.\nCombining deep scholarship with powerful storytelling\, Joan Beaumont brings the war years to life: from the well-known battles at Gallipoli\, Pozieres\, Fromelles and Villers-Bretonneux\, to the lesser known battles in Europe and the Middle East; from the ferocious debates over conscription to the disillusioning Paris peace conference and the devastating ‘Spanish’ flu the soldiers brought home. Joan brings to life the fear and courage of tens of thousands of soldiers and conveys the impact on Australians at home and at the front of death on an unprecedented scale. \nA century after the Great War\, Joan‚Äôs talk\, Broken Nation\, will bring lucid insight into the dramatic events\, mass grief and political turmoil that makes the memory of this terrible war central to Australia’s history. \nPresenter: Professor Joan Beaumont \nDate: Wednesday 30 April\, 12.30pm start \nCost: FREE\, gold coin donation welcome

DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of original\, iconic images by legendary war photographer Tim Page.Sale proceeds to ‚ÄòSoldier On‚Äô¬† and NVVM.\nThis amazing range of images comes from Tim‚Äôs earliest interaction with the Australian troops soon after arrival in Vietnam in 1965.

SUMMARY:Australian Heroines of World War One
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this compelling lecture recounting the lives of eight remarkable nurses whose resilience\, courage and skill took them from Australia to Gallipoli\, Lemnos and the Western Front.\nThese women\, represented in Susanna de Vries‚Äô reprinted publication\, Australian Heroines of World War One\, had the courage and strength for which the Anzacs are renowned and the compassion and tenderness that only a woman can bring. \nSister Hilda Samsing from Melbourne became a whistle-blower when nursing aboard the hospital ship Gascon\, outraged by the bungled evacuation of wounded ANZACs. She defied censorship and kept a very frank diary. Brisbane‚Äôs Grace Wilson\, ordered to establish an emergency hospital on drought-stricken Lemnos Island\, arrived there to find suffering ANZACs but no drinking water\, tents or medical supplies. In France\, Florence James- Wallace\, Anne Donnell and Elsie Tranter nursed near the front line in Casualty Clearing Stations\, treating soldiers with hideous wounds or blinded by mustard gas. \nThese are just a few of the stories that will be explored by Susanna in her talk which will bring light to the remarkable work of Australian nurses in the First World War. \nPresenter: Susanna de Vries \nDate: Tuesday 15 April\, 12.30pm start \nCost: FREE\, gold coin donation welcome

SUMMARY:Defence ‚Äì ‚ÄòWhither or Wither‚Äô
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker will be Commodore J S Dickson AM\, MBE\, RAN (Ret‚Äôd).\nWebster‚Äôs Dictionary defines the word ‚Äòodyssey‚Äô as describing a ‚Äòlong journey with adventures‚Äô. \nJim Dickson has been on a sailor‚Äôs odyssey since he joined our RAN as a 13 year old Cadet Midshipman in January 1950. His long journey encompassed sea training in both the RAN and RN\, operational service in Malaysian and Vietnam waters as part of the far Eastern Strategic Reserve during the Malayan Emergency\, service in the Vietnam war in both HMAS PERTH II and HMAS SYDNEY III\, and in HMAS GULL during Confrontation with Indonesia in 1965-66. \nCommodore Dickson commanded 3 ships\, the Minesweeper HMAS Gull in 65-66\, the frigate HMAS YARRA III in 75-76\, and the Guided Missile destroyer HMAS BRISBANE II in 80-82. His shore appointments included 2 years both as CO of HMAS CERBERUS\, and as Naval Officer Commanding Victoria in 1988-90 . \nJim Dickson‚Äôs career has taken him from Macquarie Island to Finland\, and from Japan to the West Indies. His Naval service began at CERBERUS in 1950 and ended there 41 years later there in 1990. Certainly: ‚ÄòA Long Journey with Many Adventures!‚Äô \nJim‚Äôs topic may well intrigue you\, but it will be well worth hearing! In the years since he left the service he has been involved in a variety of ex-service organisations. Jim has always had the interests of his beloved Royal Australian Navy\, the defence of his country\, and the ‚ÄúNaval‚Äô family at large to the fore in all his endeavors. Don‚Äôt miss hearing what he has to say! You and your friends/partner etc will be made very welcome. \nDate: Monday 23 September 2013 \nTime: 7.30 pm \nLocation: The Melbourne Naval Centre 146W Toorak Road\, South Yarra (Melways 2LE4 ‚Äì opposite Fawkner Park in the ESU Building). \nNote: The Centre opens at approximately 6.30pm to facilitate use of our excellent library.

SUMMARY:The Long Way Home - By Daniel Keene

These servicemen and women will perform alongside professional actors as part of a broader rehabilitation program that will assist their recovery. We open a door on their lives while deployed on operations and illuminate the challenges of their return to everyday life. \nThis major new work will embark on a national tour following its performances in Sydney.
