Podcast appearances and mentions of lachlan macquarie

Our Long Read series continues with a reckoning from Australia's past and the way it might influence our future. Our reporter Sydney Lang looks at the legacy of governor Lachlan Macquarie from the early colonial settlement days. Macquarie was considered a visionary who wanted to turn a penal colony into an egalitarian nation. But there is a dark side to his legacy that has an enduring, as well as painful, lesson.Reporter: Sydney LangExecutive Producer: Simon BradyMore stories from the best student journalism in Australia.The JunctionAdditional linksProfessor Bronwyn Carlson on ABC Radio NationalState Library of NSW documentary on Lachlan MacquarieMusic'There Is Only The Unknown Ahead' – Get Music‘Silent Cry' – Valster‘Thinking in Silence' – Ashot Danielyan‘Come Back Home' - Olexy

Today we profile the Christian faith of one of the most significant figures of the early colony of New South Wales, Lachlan Macquarie, and his evangelical wife Elizabeth (yes the one used to sit in Mrs Macquaries Chair just aros from where the Sydney Opera House is). In this ‘Best Of' episode we discuss John Harris' book ‘Judging the Macquaries' - with Peter AdamHarri's book scrutinises and reassesses the lives of early governor of NSW Lachlan Macquarie and Elizabeth.  John Harris paints a more spiritually positive picture of Governor Lachlan Macquarie than had previously been understood.  Mrs Macquarie was a clear evangelical.  Lachlan Macquarie's Christian faith causes him to stand out in significant policy areas from the dominant views of the time: in his attitudes, behaviour and policies relating to both convicts and indigenous persons.  As Harris paints it - The picture of Macquarie is in sharp contrast to his chief antagonist Rev Samuel Marsden.  The book caused me to reassess the more positive view of Marsden that I argued in 2015 (http://bit.ly/steele-on-marsden).  Harris' conclusions are debated by Marsden scholar David Pettett, who says Harris is biased against Marsden (See his comment in the discussion here bit.ly/3G90Btu). The Former Principal of Ridley Theological College Melbourne Peter Adam is one of the foremost voices in this space in Australian Christianity and he is delighted with Harris' new work. Links: https://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/judging-the-macquariesTo order ‘Judging the Macquaries' online: http://bit.ly/wondering-macquariesDominic Steele's 2015 address on Samuel Marsden: http://bit.ly/steele-on-marsden***As The Pastor's Heart grows in audience our opportunities and responsibility grow as well.

‘Elizabeth and Elizabeth’ are the wives of John Macarthur and Lachlan Macquarie. They should have been bitter foes, but author Sue Williams has them combining their courage and wisdom to influence what is happening in the fledgling colony of New South Wales. The Croatian-Serbian conflict manifests itself in the rivalry between gangs in Sydney’s west in Loraine Peck’s crime novel, 'The Second Son'.

In 1820, a Russian expedition to discover Antarctica, led by the famous explorer and navigator Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, made two visits to Port Jackson and enjoyed the hospitality of governor Lachlan Macquarie. The crews were also welcomed to country by the well-known Kuringai leader Bungaree and spent time with the local indigenous people.

Australia also has a lot of statues of people who both advocated and practiced genocide, such as former NSW governor, Lachlan Macquarie.  My friend Stephen Langford was arrested last month for using craft glue to stick a Macquarie quote on the Macquarie statue.  I wrote a song.

Lachlan Macquarie is credited with shaping Australia's destiny, transforming the harsh, foreboding penal colony of New Holland into an agricultural powerhouse and ultimately a prosperous society. Macquarie is known as the father of Australia. So, was Macquarie the man who sowed the seeds of a great nation, or a tyrant who destroyed Aboriginal resistance? In this, the most comprehensive biography yet of this fascinating colonial governor, acclaimed biographer Grantlee Kieza draws on Macquarie's rich and detailed journals. Ultimately, Macquarie laid the foundations for a new nation, but, in the process, he played a part in the dispossession of the continent's original people. Grantlee joined us on Remember When to talk about this fascinating new book.

Though it started as a convenient dumping ground for Britain’s human refuse, the colony of Australia was not destined to remain a prison forever. Despite the grandiose plans of some of its visionaries, however—like Lachlan Macquarie, Colonial Governor—it would take a great deal of labor, money and innovation if it was ever to rise above its convict roots. Macquarie began with an ambitious program of building and urban design, in the process cheating the British government and Australia’s free settlers out of the cheap labor they felt they were entitled to. Meanwhile whalers and sealers were wreaking havoc on the continent’s south coast, and settlers were pushing up against the geographic seal that walled off Sydney from the unknown interior of Australia. How did the utter mess that was Australia in the early 19th century eventually become anything like a real country, much less a cohesive society? In this, the second part of a series on the formative years of Australia, you’ll find out a lot of what you never knew about the strange land down under. Find out what finally happened to Lachlan Macquarie, how and why he made all the wrong enemies, and how he gave the continent its official name. You’ll discover why ignorance of basic geography was sometimes fatal to escaping convicts; you’ll appreciate why the seal skin industry was a particularly gross and disgusting business; and you’ll ride along with three intrepid explorers and their mysteriously anonymous hangers-on as they try to push the boundaries of the colony across the fabled Blue Mountains into the true Australian outback. Prepare for a historical walkabout as Second Decade takes you to one of the strangest places on the planet at the time. Additional materials about this episode on the website, here!

Lachlan Macquarie was a hard drinking, penny pinching Scottish army officer with syphilis and an impressive history of financial fraud. Yet he became the colony’s most successful governor, erecting new towns and buildings, integrating ex-convicts into society, and naming just about everything Macquarie.

Lachlan Macquarie is credited with shaping Sydney and NSW.
