Many thanks to Anthony white for a great chat over Zoom all the way from France. His upcoming show - OPENING/PRIVATE VIEW:SATURDAY 15 JULY12PM-4PMFLOOR TALK WITH DR PETER HILL SATURDAY 15 JULY EXHIBITION CONTINUES 30 JULY 2023 MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA Please note this event is free but booking is advised: contact@lennoxst.gallery or +61 409 409 239Lennox St. Gallery presents Manifestation, an exhibition of new works by Paris-based artist Anthony White. Marking a new direction for the artist, Manifestation consists of a series of 10 paintings responding to Sidney Nolan's 1966 Eureka Stockade mural in which White reclaims the painterly gesture as a form of dissent. This is White's third solo show with the gallery, his first in the new space as Lennox St. Gallery and his first body of work made as a response to a single work of art.White draws on new research into the 1854 Eureka Rebellion (Australia's only ever armed civil uprising), the personal papers of Sidney Nolan and recent protest events in France, highlighting the increasing importance of his engagement with material, concept and history. Painted in France during a period marked by widespread public protests, these ten new works continue White's wider thinking around the painterly gesture as a form of dissent, as well as the act of civil disobedience, or, in French, Manifestation – a protest, public event, action, or object which embodies an idea.Following White's recent creative fellowship at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, Manifestation responds to the anti-colonial spirit in Sidney Nolan's Eureka Stockade mural which White spent time with in Canberra at ANU's Drill Hall Gallery. Commissioned by the Reserve Bank of Australia, the mural depicts the pivotal event of the Victorian gold rush – a crucial point in Australia's democratic history. White's research into the papers of Sidney Nolan at the National Library, uncovered correspondence which reveals Nolan's response to the only first hand account of the Eureka rebellion written by the Italian revolutionary Rafaello Carboni. Manifestation considers Nolan's engagement with that European vision of the event, the legacy of Eureka and the development of a particular Australian psyche typified by a defence of democratic values. Each work incorporates an event or individual element from the Eureka battle as depicted in the Nolan mural: Hotham incorporates imagery resembling mounted policemen; Eureka Hotel and the largest work Manifest (After Eureka) 125 x 235 cm [shown above] depict the epic destruction of Bentley's Eureka Hotel caused by a fire started by rioting miners on the 12th of October 1854. In each work White finds equivalent ways of harnessing the energy and dissenting spirit of the battle.“I went to the Nolan archive to capture this anti-colonial spirit inherent in some of the images of the mural to emphasize the sense of dissent but what struck me was the ethnic diversity of the period in Victoria. What I found was Chinese, Italian, African Americans, Jewish and Irish migrants revolting against the colonial government. It manifested as the Eureka Rebellion which became a crucial part of Australia's engagement with democracy” In the current moment we are seeing the increasing relevance of civil disobedience in movements such as The Yellow Vests in France and groups like Extinction Rebellion protesting for climate change, increasing class inequalities or retirement ages. In my mind there is no doubt that the power of democracy is diminishing internationally and I feel we need to voice our discontent with government policies that infringe on personal liberty, especially the right to protest peacefully.” – Anthony WhiteYou can find out more about Anthony on his website 

What role do the visual arts play in drawing upon history, activating democracy, and asking questions about what culture can do?Australian artist Anthony White lives and works in Paris. White's artistic work revolves around the notion of reclaiming the act of dissent through the production of cultural objects. His research is situated at the intersection of several fields in the social space including, politics, human rights, and postcolonialism. His practice is centered around concepts of design and its history as a form of social and political expression. He works with painting, drawing, collage, and printmaking. Through this practice, he tackles relevant questions to our time, to encourage emancipation and new ways of thinking.Anthony White's artwork has been exhibited in Australia, Europe, and Asia. He has received support through cultural agencies such as The Trust Company Australia, The National Association for the Visual Arts,(NAVA) and The Copyright Agency Limited (CAL). He has also received critical acclaim by recognition in the form of art prizes and reviews most notably The Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship (2007) The Creative Art Fellowship at The National Library of Australia (2020) and acknowledgements in The Australia Financial Review, Art Collector Magazine Australia and also Elle Décor US edition. His exhibition Manifestation is on show from the 12–30 of July at Lennox Street Gallery, in Melbourne."Not in terms of subject matter. Not in the fact that I've taken images from the Eureka Stockade. It was a point in history where there were some gold miners, and they revolted against the government because the government was enforcing licensing fees that were outrageously expensive at the time.So, I don't reproduce figurative paintings, but I wanted to take that energy of what dissent is about, and I wanted to reclaim the energy of the gestural mark as a signifier of dissent. So when I was doing the research in the library, I came across a Roman guy called Raffaello Carboni who wrote a book on the Eureka Stockade.It's actually the book that Sidney Nolan had been reading and his point of motivation for making this large mural. And I found it quite interesting that Carboni was a politically active guy. He was a supporter of Mazzini and Garibaldi who founded modern Italy. And then three years after Carboni fought in the movement that unified Italy, he went to Australia to Victoria. And he was also involved in that Eureka Stockade moment. So I thought, Oh, that's an interesting connection between my roots in Australia and my roots in Europe. So Carboni goes back, and he dies in Rome. And I see that this moment of civil disobedience is interesting and what's happening now with the rise of Fascism. It's an interesting thing that maybe there need to be other moments of civil disobedience where democracy is activated in a way. So I think that the visual arts, they have a role to play in terms of activating democracy. In terms of drawing upon history and asking questions about what culture can do."www.anthonywhite.artwww.instagram.com/anthony_white_paris/www.metrogallery.com.au/exhibitions/manifestationwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

It was a point in history where there were some gold miners, and they revolted against the government because the government was enforcing licensing fees that were outrageously expensive at the time.So, I don't reproduce figurative paintings, but I wanted to take that energy of what dissent is about, and I wanted to reclaim the energy of the gestural mark as a signifier of dissent. So when I was doing the research in the library, I came across a Roman guy called Raffaello Carboni who wrote a book on the Eureka Stockade.It's actually the book that Sidney Nolan had been reading and his point of motivation for making this large mural. And I found it quite interesting that Carboni was a politically active guy. He was a supporter of Mazzini and Garibaldi who founded modern Italy. And then three years after Carboni fought in the movement that unified Italy, he went to Australia to Victoria. And he was also involved in that Eureka Stockade moment. So I thought, Oh, that's an interesting connection between my roots in Australia and my roots in Europe. So Carboni goes back, and he dies in Rome. And I see that this moment of civil disobedience is interesting and what's happening now with the rise of Fascism. It's an interesting thing that maybe there need to be other moments of civil disobedience where democracy is activated in a way. So I think that the visual arts, they have a role to play in terms of activating democracy. In terms of drawing upon history and asking questions about what culture can do."www.anthonywhite.artwww.instagram.com/anthony_white_paris/www.metrogallery.com.au/exhibitions/manifestationwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

He may have been one of the ringleaders of the fabled Eureka Stockade, but Italian gold prospector Raffaello Carboni also had an unlikely career as a pantomime playwright.

The gestural marks in Anthony White's work are often bold and demanding of the viewer's attention. These abstract works vary from swirling lines in saturated colour, to textured surfaces and more formal collaged constructions. What is not apparent on the surface of the canvas is the time the artist has spent reading, writing and researching in the lead-up to their creation. Newspapers and books play as much a role in his work as the paint itself and writing his own thoughts on social and political issues and current events are crucial to his creative process. In this podcast conversation we touch on those ideas but Anthony also makes many insightful observations about the creation itself. Born in Australia, Anthony is now Paris-based and is represented by several galleries in Europe and Australia. His first museum show, titled 'Mobilising Material', was held at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Latvia in 2022. He also returned to Australia last year on a creative fellowship at the National Library of Australia where he researched Sidney Nolan‘s commissioned mural of the Eureka Stockade. (See below for a link to his presentation relating to that research) He has been awarded the Marten Bequest Travelling scholarship, amongst other residencies, and his work is held in public and private collections internationally.

Op 3 december 1854 was de Eureka stockade in Ballarat (VIC). Historicus Ingeborg van Teeseling vertelt hoe de goudkoorts begon en hoe onvrede onder de goudzoekers leidde tot een opstand tegen het Britse bestuur. Deze opstand betekende uiteindelijk het begin van de democratie in Australië.

This week, we go Back in Time to the 1800s as we visit Colonial Australia. Listen in as Sean discusses the epitome of outlaws - Australian Bushranger, Ned Kelly - Australia's own Robin Hood who fought the law, and the law one. Was he a hero or a villain? Listen in and cast your own opinion... but we think he was a hero, and a bit of a bearded dish really! While Skye covers the Gold Rush that took the world by storm and helped start the multicultural diversity in Australia. Learn how the rush started the Eureka Stockade, about the Holtermann Nugget and the clashes between the workers and the law!

To celebrate two years of weekly episodes we are heading to Australia to discuss the rocky first few years of the state of Victoria. Specifically how the exploitation of gold miners led to an armed rebellion!Proving that big business using politics to protect their interests has always been a thing, and that the law has always favoured the rich this is a story of the plucky underdogs standing up to a powerful bully (played to perfection by the British army!) which, rarely for this show, has a generally positive ending.

It was quite an emotional day when I interviewed this week’s guest, the former rugby international turned best-selling author, Peter FitzSimons. Because it was the day after my father died. I’ve written about my Dad, Desmond Zwar, a lot on social media. He was the author of 20 non fiction books, including The Loneliest Man In the World about Rudolf Hess, In Search of Sir Keith Murdoch, This Wonderful World of Golf, where he went on the golf tour with Peter Thomson, and the runaway best seller, Golf: The Dictionary with illustrations by the great Jeff Hook. Dad, an avid reader, was in a nursing home towards the end of his life, so I ran his Kindle account. Whenever he wanted to read another book, I would buy it and sync it into his Kindle. And the last book I bought Dad, and the last book he read, was Peter FitzSimon’s biography of Ned Kelly. So it was strangely appropriate that the day after Dad’s passing, I was interviewing Peter. I didn’t tell him the situation. I didn’t want to make him feel weird. But the coincidence was not lost on me.Some would know Peter from his seven rugby tests with the Wallabies as a lock forward from 1989 to 1990. Others would know him from his columns in the Sydney Morning Herald. But most would have read, or at least threatened to read, one of his 27 books – many of which have become best sellers. There have been the rugby books, which we’ll talk about later, joke books, a book on Nietzsche, historical biographies on Nancy Wake, Kim Beasley, Douglas Mawson, Kingsford Smith, Breaker Morant, and James Cook, and then there have been the books on big subjects like Gallipoli, Kokoda, the Batavia and the Eureka Stockade. And now he’s written The Opera House :The extraordinary story of the building that symbolises Australia. In this interview, we get into the guts of how Peter came to be a writer, the word he most overuses in his books, and how he gave up the grog and managed to fit even more into his day.

Michael is joined by Professor Clare Wright OAM, award-winning historian, broadcaster, Professor of History at La Trobe University & author of ‘The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka', for her Re:  The Eureka Stockade   The Eureka Rebellion occurred in 1854, instigated by gold miners in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, who revolted against the colonial authority of the United Kingdom.   It culminated in the Battle of the Eureka Stockade, which was fought between rebels and the colonial forces of Australia on 3 December 1854 at Eureka Lead and named after a stockade structure built by miners in the lead-up to the conflict.   The rebellion resulted in at least 27 deaths and many injuries, the majority of casualties being rebels. The rebellion was the culmination of a period of civil disobedience during the Victorian gold rush with miners objecting to the expense of a miner's licence, taxation via the licence without representation, and the actions of the government, the police and military.

Rudy joins Roxy Hall and Giacomo Bianchino for a discussion on the past, present and future of the Australian state. We talk about the history of Australian colonization with its differences and similarities with US and Canada, the squatter vanguard of settler-colonialism, the failed attempt at a bourgeois revolution that was the Eureka Stockade and the process of Federation. We then turn to the formation and pivotal role of the Australian Labor Party in Australian politics, outlining the broad pacts between labour and capital which included White Australia, the Whitlam government and the New Left period, and finish off by discussion the present prospects for struggle around the AUKUS military pact, migrant workers, housing and the environmental and indigenous struggles.

British troops slaughtered gold miners in Australia who were refusing to pay taxes they couldn't afford to pay anyway.  29 people died in the massacre.  The miners continued their resistance afterwards, and thus terrified the authorities into giving in to all of their demands.

The Eureka Stockade happened on the goldfields of Victoria in 1854, when gold miners (called diggers) fought against government soldiers in protest over gold licences, taxation without representataion, and the harsh and unjust treatment they received at the hands of the often cruel and corrupt police troopers. Many people today claim that this was the foundation of democracy in Australia. Some call it the unfinished revolution.Follow on Facebook and check out my Webpage.Say G'day at rippingyarnsfromhistory@gmail.com drop me an email.If you think this Ripping yarn was worth a cuppa, I'd be extremely grateful Buy me a cuppaSupport the show (https://ko-fi.com/rippingyarnsfromhistory)

In the 1850s, gold was struck to the west of Port Phillip, VIC, near a town called Ballarat. Before long, the goldfields were full of immigrants and Australians alike, each seeking their fortune.However, where there is gold, there is government. The Victorian government, on behalf of the British, was quick to impose a license and fee on the diggers, seeking to make as much money as they could from the fields.But, over time, the government got greedy. The price went from half a pound per month to three pounds a month - almost $500 today. For families seeking their fortune and finding nothing but rock, this was becoming a bad joke. As in other gold fields, the diggers got talking, and their woes were shared and spread...Part 3 of 4.Main Theme music – Kevin MacLeod"Slow Ticking Clock" – Kevin MacLeodUsed under a Creative Commons license.

With the rebellion at the Eureka Stockade ended, the authorities moved the main players to Melbourne to be tried for treason. In the days immediately following, the people of Victoria were at first apprehensive that there may be further outbreaks of violence and rioting, but as more information about exactly what happened at Ballarat was known, they became more unhappy about the lead up to and the actions that took place on December 3rd, 1854. In this final episode in the Eureka series, we talk about the trials, and the actions of the government in the aftermath.  We also learn a little about the Southern Cross flag.

With no positive response to their delegations, pleading & petitions, the Ballarat miners determined they must boycott the corrupt system all together and physically resist when the troopers came to arrest them. Under the leadership of Peter Lalor, the men swore under their Southern Cross flag, to stand together united in their resistance, and to protect each other from the authorities, with physical force if required. To that end they began building a defensive Stockade. and began to organise and gather weapons for a confrontation with the Government Camp.  The Government saw this as the beginning of revolutionary rebellion, and were determined to crush the uprising.

We turn our attention to the Ballarat Goldfield.  The road to the Eureka Rebellion here was actually quite long, and contained a myriad of grievances & triggers, which finally came to an unhappy clash on December 3rd 1854 at the Eureka Stockade.  But we are not quite there yet.  This episode we look at the early days under La Trobe, and the frustration & aggravation that grew after Hotham became Governor. The initial catalysts for the uprising started with unfair gold licensing arrangements, but the behaviour of the officials on the Ballarat goldfields caused much disquiet, and with corruption rife and no reasonable response from the government, we can see the seeds of the confrontation forming.

We hope that everyone is well and enjoying the start of the holidays season. This week we have the answer to the mystery of why the Sun is so hot and the dispersal of magnetic waves during solar flares. That’s right, one of those little mysteries that has been confounding scientists for years appears to have been solved with evidence supporting the rejection of the null hypothesis. Ooops, sorry, in other words research that explains why it appears to happen has been developed. So if you would like to know more about why that is then please listen in and enjoy this discussion that does wander off topic occasionally but in a fun way.Next we look at the effect piracy is having on Marvels profit margin (which as a Disney corporate entity we must acknowledge are very slim margins). We discuss this and consider the alternatives such as going digital like XCT and some of the other projects from our friend Shaun at Comics2movies have begun to do. Buck wanders down memory lane reminiscing about when he was a boy (OK Boomer does not apply here as Buck isn’t that old). Can you believe that comic books used to only cost 15 cents? These days it is $10 and has less of a story in some cases, although XCT is cool if you want a great read.Last topic is Valve news and what is happening with them. For example did you know that they are in the process of ending their controllers? Also did you know that they have recently had a sale on these controllers? Professor did and has bought one, even though they weren’t on sale here? Also Half-Life Alyx the VR experience game is looking downright awesome, if the promo video is anything to go by this is a game to get into.As usual we have the regular shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and events for the week. Until next time remember to look out for each other, take care of yourselves and stay hydrated.Mystery of the magnetic waves - https://www.technology.org/2019/12/02/scientists-crack-60-year-old-mystery-of-suns-magnetic-waves/Comic Piracy - https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50564713Valve News- Steam Controller sale - https://www.theverge.com/good-deals/2019/11/26/20984123/valve-steam-controller-discontinued-sale-price- Valve Index - https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-index-sold-out-stock-half-life-alyx/- Half-Life: Alyx announcement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2W0N3uKXmoGame currently playingBuck– Raid: Shadow Legends - https://raidshadowlegends.com/pc-mac-plarium-play/Rating – 3.5/5Professor– Counterstrike Global Offensive - https://store.steampowered.com/app/730/CounterStrike_Global_Offensive/Rating – 3/5DJ– UNDEFEATED - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1116960/UNDEFEATED/Rating – 3/5Other topics discussedLaser (a device that emits light through a process ofoptical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserCorona (Corona Extra is a pale lager produced by Cervecería Modelo in Chicago for domestic distribution and export to all other countries besides the United States, and by Constellation Brands in Canada for export to the United States.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_(beer)Corona (an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars.

Their quest to extend these advances brought Otto Schott into the enterprises to revolutionize optical glass manufacture. The firm of Carl Zeiss grew to one of the largest and most respected optical firms in the world. He died from a stroke at the age of 72 in Jena - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss3 Dec 1894 - Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish novelist and travel writer, most noted for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson's critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. He is currently ranked as the 26th most translated author in the world. He died from a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 44 in Vailima, Apia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Louis_Stevenson3 Dec 1984 - Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin, Azerbaijani and Soviet mathematician, who made numerous contributions in algebraic topology, geometry, measure theory, probability theory, ergodic theory and entropy theory. Rokhlin's contributions to topology include Rokhlin's theorem, a result of 1952 on the signature of 4-manifolds, which was subsequently generalised by Friedrich Hirzebruch. He also worked in the theory of characteristic classes, homotopy theory and cobordism theory. In measure theory, Rokhlin introduced what are now called Rokhlin partitions. He introduced the notion of standard probability space, and characterised such spaces up to isomorphism mod 0. He also proved the famous Rokhlin lemma. He died from a heart attack at the age of 62 in Leningrad - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Abramovich_RokhlinFamous Birthdays3 Dec 1857 - Joseph Conrad, Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Conrad wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit during what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced numerous authors, and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that Conrad's fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events. Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among other things, on his native Poland's national experiences and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world—including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly explore the human psyche. He was born in Berdychiv - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad3 Dec 1960 - Julianne Moore, American actress and children's author. Prolific in film since the early 1990s, she is particularly known for her portrayals of emotionally troubled women in both independent and Hollywood films, and has received many accolades, including an Academy Award and two Golden Globes. Time magazine named Moore one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015. Moore received considerable recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s, earning Oscar nominations for Boogie Nights, she played a 1970s pornographic actress. She also had success with the films The Big Lebowski, Hannibal, Children of Men and Crazy, Stupid, Love, and won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Sarah Palin in the television film Game Change. Moore won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her playing an Alzheimer's patient in Still Alice and was named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Maps to the Stars. Her highest-grossing releases include the final two films of The Hunger Games series and the spy film Kingsman: The Golden Circle. She was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julianne_Moore3 Dec 1960 - Daryl Hannah, American actress and environmental activist.

Gold miners built the Eureka Stockade at the Ballarat goldfields in December 1854, but trouble between the miners and the authorities had started pretty much with the gold rush in 1851.  Before we start looking at the Eureka uprising itself, Ep 29 will begin with some background to the story.  The discovery of gold and the chance to dig & make ones fortune, transformed the colonies. We'll look at gold discovery in Australia, the influence of the Californian gold rush, the Government’s response, and how the home-grown rush started in New South Wales, before the lucrative Victorian fields were discovered.  (46 mins)   www.australianhistoriespodcast.com.au Brilliant stories from Australia’s past!

Welcome to La Trobe University’s Clever Conversations. This episode explores what it takes to make a book-to-screen adaptation with Clare Wright, who is a La Trobe Associate Professor in History and Anne Kenney, the award-winning Hollywood writer, and executive producer and scriptwriter for popular TV series, Outlander. Speaking together at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Clare and Anne discuss the book that has connected their worlds – The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka. Written by Clare, the Stella Prize-winning story uncovers the previously untold and little-acknowledged role of bold women adventurers who lived and worked in the Australian goldfields during the 1850s, and their roles in the Eureka Stockade. The discussion is facilitated by Danielle Binks, who is a writer, reviewer, youth literature advocate and literary agent.

It’s been 163 years since the The Battle of the Eureka Stockade, which saw 27 miners lose their lives stemming from a rebellions against an excessive miner’s licence, taxes with out representation and other disputes with the colonial government. What legacy has the Eureka Rebellion had on Australian Democracy today? To answer that and more is Peter FitzSimons, Chair of the Australian Republican Movement, and author of Eureka: The Unfinished Revolution. Peter FitzSimons delivered 2017’s annual Peter Tobin Oration at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka.

The Gold Rush hit Victoria, Australia in 1851, and people quickly dropped everything and headed to the goldfields to try and strike it rich. But then the government started charging large gold digging fees, and before long corruption became widespread. After the murder of one of their own, the miners had well and truly had enough. The only thing left to do... REBEL!

In Episode Twelve we discuss Clare Wright's award-winning book, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka. A well-worn foundation story of modern Australia and the so-called ‘birthplace of Australian democracy’, the stories of the Eureka Stockade and the goldminers who rose up against an oppressive government linger in our national story. And yet, for too long those stories were missing half their characters. Where were, where are the stories of the women of Eureka?Published in 2014, Clare Wright’s award winning book, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka writes those forgotten women back into the story. Ten years of research and writing created a bold and entertaining book that pays tribute to the women of Ballarat and their place in the story of Eureka.

He has been designing games since he was a child, starting with a map and token wargame of the Eureka Stockade assault. He is also a published author and loves writing in the game worlds that he creates. Chris lives in one of the colder parts of sunny Australia with an incontinent cat, a cowardly sheepdog, a lovely wife and two semi-feral children. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wordforgegames/armoured-digital-miniatures-wargame http://www.wordforgegames.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ArmouredDigitalGame/ https://twitter.com/ADWargame https://www.birdscoffeecompany.com/coffees/legends-of-tabletop-legendary-brew Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Every generation brings the past into the present as it reckons with issues of identity and belonging. The role of symbols becomes critical, and in Australia perhaps no symbol has had more claimants than the Southern Cross. Dr Anne Beggs-Sunter is a historian and academic specialising in the history of Ballarat. She takes us through the 1854 miners' rebellion on the Victorian goldfields, where the Eureka flag was first raised. What do people miss about this story? Can the Eureka Stockade be retold in an inclusive way? Is it time to reclaim the Southern Cross from far-right supremacists?

What legacy has the Eureka Rebellion had on contemporary Australian democracy? Peter FitzSimons, Chair of the Australian Republican Movement, and author of 'Eureka: The Unfinished Revolution', says it's impact was hugely significant, not only in Australia but overseas. Peter FitzSimons delivered 2017's annual Peter Tobin Oration at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka, a place he says is an important contribution to the story of democracy.More informationhttp://made.orghttp://republic.org.auhttp://peterfitzsimons.com.au

It all finally comes to the battle. After a tense stand-off the Government forces finally storm the Eureka Stockade. The diggers are overwhelmed and at the end of it all 22 diggers and 6 soldiers lie dead. Though some put the death toll as high as 60.  13 men are charged with treason, but the key ring leaders including Peter Lalor (who is severely wounded) remain at large. The Victorian population do not take kindly to the Government's actions and there is concern that there might be an uprising.  

The Victory after 180 days of picket for the CUB 55 maintenance workers is a victory for all working Australia's. We take you to the Spirit of Eureka celebrations at the CUB picket to honour the CUB 55 and the anniversy of the Eureka Stockade where white Australian political resistance formally began. We talk to Duncan Storrar who was chased by Murdoch media hounds after he made a Liberal politican look silly on the ABC Q& A programme earlier this year. The question he asked was about unemployment.

What have the American Civil War, French Revolution, Eureka Stockade and Jesus all have in common?  In this message Scot unpacks the circumstances and significance of the revelation the disciples had when Jesus called them to follow Him, and the revolution that came from it.

Dr Don Longo presents a rural South Australian perspective on the First World War through the experiences of a young soldier from Koolywurtie, Yorke Peninsula. Australian iconography of the 'Great War' privileges the volunteer from rural communities, the ordinary boy from the farm caught up in extraordinary, and frequently violent and tragic, events. The official historian of the War, CEW Bean, puts ‘rural values’ at the heart of the Australian digger. Yet until recently historians have rarely explored the war experience of rural communities, at home or at the front. Was it for them really ‘a different war’, as historian Michael McKernan has claimed? If so, how was it ‘different’? And were there variations in this experience among members of the one regional community? These issues are explored through the example of South Australia’s’s Yorke Peninsula using the battlefront experience recorded in the diary, letters and other memorabilia of Pte Sidney King, a young soldier from Koolywurtie (near Minlaton) who was a stretcher bearer on the Western Front; and the patriotic response at home reflected in the Peninsula’s newspapers. Both sources provide unique, sometimes dissonant, but always interesting insights into the question. Dr Don Longo is a graduate in History from the University of Adelaide (1980) and the Université de Paris VIII (1985). Don worked at Adelaide University from 1985 until his retirement in 2009, working mostly in management, but also in developing languages and multicultural policy for tertiary education. He has written on twentieth century French history, Australian immigration since the 1920s and the First World War. He is currently researching the history of rural South Australia through the settlement and growth of Yorke Peninsula as ‘the granary of South Australia’, and has concurrently begun a biography of Raffaello Carboni (of the Eureka Stockade). He also does part-time teaching in History at Adelaide University. In 2015, in collaboration with the Ardrossan RSL and with support from Federal and State Anzac grants, he published ‘The Ties that Bind: Southern Yorke Peninsula and the Great War 1914-1919', the War Diary and Letters of Sidney P King, of Koolywurtie. Don’s wife Lyn (née Klopp) is from Maitland and is related to King’s descendants. The latter, Sandra and Robert Klopp, are active members of the Ardrossan RSL and have lovingly preserved the King family’s documents and memorabilia from the Great War which form the basis of the book.

Eureka Stockade happened on the goldfields of Victoria in 1854, when gold miners (called diggers) fought against government soldiers in protest over gold licences, taxation without representataion, and the harsh and unjust treatment they received at the hands of the often cruel and corrupt police troopers. Many people today claim that this was the foundation of democracy in Australia. Some call it the unfinished revolution.

This episode is something a bit different than normal in that my guest is a living legend of Australian Screenwriting, Tom Hegarty. Tom was a writer during the glory years of Crawfords during the 60's, 70's and 80's, working on such influential shows as Homicide, Division 4, Matlock Police, Eureka Stockade, A Town Like Alice. Tom also worked through the 90's on E Street, Stingers and Blue Heelers. Tom talks about his journey into screenwriting (via theatre and BBC radio plays) and tells some great stories of working at Crawfords and especially with Hector Crawford himself.  

The author of Above the Starry Frame talks about her new book, her character William Irwin, the Eureka Stockade, and lots more.
