The Rotary Club of Sydney Cove actively supports the Early Bird Cafe located opposite State Parliament House. Over 20,000 breakfasts are served each year along with clothes, toiletries and books. As the homeless crisis gets worse it is clear that this service totally managed by volunteers is needed more than ever. Marilyn Smith explains. www.earlybirdcafe.org.au

Another fine example of putting service above self.

Kolossense 3:12,13 Julle is die uitverkore volk van God wat Hy baie liefhet. Daarom moet julle meelewend, goedgesind, nederig, sagmoedig en verdraagsaam wees. Wees geduldig met mekaar en vergewe mekaar as die een iets teen die ander het. Soos die Here julle vergewe het, moet julle mekaar ook vergewe. Oor die jare het nasionalisme – wat in sy kern eintlik gaan oor die belange van ‘n spesifieke groep – meer moeilikheid, meer pyn, meer oorloë en meer dood veroorsaak as wat enigeen van ons ooit sou kon voorspel. Hoekom is dit?Vandag vier twee baie uiteenlopende lande hul nasionale dag; hulle is Indië en Australië. Indië herdenk die dag toe hulle die boeie van Britse koloniale heerskappy afgegooi het en 'n soewereine, demokratiese nasie geword het. Australië daarenteen, vier die geboorte van ‘n moderne nasie met die landing van wit Britse setlaars by Sydney Cove.Dis twee baie uiteenlopende gebeurtenisse wat gevier word. In Australië veroorsaak dit konflik; aangesien talle mense vra dat hierdie, Australië-dag, afgeskaf moet word, as gevolg van hoe sleg die wit setlaars die oorspronklike inwoners van die land oor baie jare behandel het.Maar nou-ja, wat doen ons daaraan? En hierdie konflik is nie uniek aan Australië nie, dit word dikwels op verskillende maniere dwarsoor die wêreld ervaar. Die vraag bly dus ... wat de drommel doen ons daaraan? Want as ons die saak van alle kante ondersoek, kan jy die argumente vir beide kante sien.Kolossense 3:12,13 Julle is die uitverkore volk van God wat Hy baie liefhet.

Soos die Here julle vergewe het, moet julle mekaar ook vergewe.Genade, nederigheid, deernis, begrip, vergifnis. Dit is God se antwoord wanneer daar konflik tussen verskillende groeperinge of rasse bestaan.

Adam's latest book is called Three Sheets to the Wind and tells the remarkable story of the voyage in 1796 of the Sydney Cove from Calcutta to Sydney. Its massive cargo, most importantly, included 7000 gallons of best Bengali rum, being sold to the dissolute colony of NSW, under the corrupt regime of the NSW corps and the truly awful John  McArthur. Only 3 of the original crew make it to Sydney, but what a journey!

This episode we discuss the story of the Sydney Cove, a ship that set sail from Calcutta bound for its eponymous port in 1796. The Sydney Cove never quite made it the whole way, but after countless misadventures just under half of her crew did. Join us as we discuss a story that is not only all but unbelievable but is one of the most significant stories of first contact between First Nations people and visitors from across the British Empire. This tale was more or less lost to time for much of the 20th century but from the unearthing of the shipwreck in 1977 there was no putting this tale back in the rum bottle, as it were. The original inspiration for this story came from reading Jock Serong's work of historical fiction: Preservation. The factual heavy lifting was largely courtesy of Mark McKenna's book: From the Edge; Australia's Lost Histories. If you'd like to read the full text of William Clark's published account of their journey you can find it, and an assortment of other relevant correspondence, here. And if you know where we an get a carton of James Squire's Preservation Ale we'd love to hear from you!

January the 26th marks the arrival of the First Fleet on Australian shores. It is the date when Sir Arthur Phillip claimed Sydney Cove in the name of King George. - Tanggal 26 Januari menandai kedatangan Armada Pertama di pantai Australia. Ini adalah tanggal ketika Sir Arthur Phillip mengklaim Sydney Cove atas nama Raja George.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Observed annually on 26 January, it marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove and raising of the Union Flag by Arthur Phillip following days of exploration of Port Jackson in New South Wales. - Heute, am 26. Januar, ist Australia Day und viele Einwanderer bekommen an diesem Tag traditionell ihre Einbürgerungsurkunde. Früher hieß der Tag auch schon mal Foundation Day und Anniversary Day. Der Name Australia Day wird eigentlich erst seit 1935 in allen Bundesstaaten und Territorien durchgehend benutzt. Daß die indigene Bevölkerung Australia Day ganz anders sieht, ist kein Geheimnis. Zwiespältig ist auch die Sicht von Dieter Herrmann, dem Chefredakteur der WOCHE IN AUSTRALIEN, der noch andere Menschen sieht, die bei den Feierlichkeiten zum Tag der Nation oft übersehen werden:

Dan državnosti Avstralije zaznamuje dan, ko je prva flota enajstih britanskih ladij priplula v Port Jackson z guvernerjem Arthurjem Phillipom, ki je dvignil britansko zastavo v Sydney Cove 26. januarja 1788. Številni domorodski Avstralci menijo, da je to dan "invazije".

January the 26th marks the arrival of the First Fleet on Australian shores, the date chosen as it remembers Sir Arthur Phillip's claiming of Sydney Cove in the name of King George. The date has come to have different meanings for many Australians in the centuries since, but for First Nations communities it is a day of mourning. So how can you mark the day respectfully? - 26 جنوری آسٹریلیا کے ساحلوں پر پہلے بحری بیڑے کی آمد کا دن ہے، اس تاریخ کا انتخاب اس لیے کیا گیا ہے کہ یہ کنگ جارج کے حکم پر سر آرتھر فلپ کے سڈنی کوو جو آج سڈنی ہاربر کہلاتا ہے پر کئے جانے والے حقِ ملکیت کے دعوے کا دن ہے۔ اس تاریخ کے بہت سے آسٹریلین باشندوں کے لیے مختلف معنی ہیں، لیکن فرسٹ نیشنز کمیونٹیز کے لیے یہ سوگ کا دن ہے۔ تو آپ اس دن کو احترام کے ساتھ کیسے منا سکتے ہیں؟

Dan državnosti Avstralije zaznamuje dan, ko je prva flota enajstih britanskih ladij priplula v Port Jackson z guvernerjem Arthurjem Phillipom, ki je dvignil britansko zastavo v Sydney Cove 26. januarja 1788. Številni domorodski Avstralci menijo, da je to dan "invazije". 

January the 26th marks the arrival of the First Fleet on Australian shores, the date chosen as it remembers Sir Arthur Phillip's claiming of Sydney Cove in the name of King George. The date has come to have different meanings for many Australians in the centuries since, but for First Nations communities it is a day of mourning. So how can you mark the day respectfully? - １月26日は第一船団がオーストラリアに到着したのを印すもので、サー・アーサー・フィリップがイギリスのジョージ国王の名でシドニー・コーブの領有を宣言したのを忘れないために選ばれた日です。しかし、その後数世紀たって多くのオーストラリア人にとってその日付は異なった意味を持つようになり、ファースト・ネーションの人々にとってはそれは喪に服す日です。では、どのようにして角を立てずにその日を印せるでしょうか？

In the second of two Watercooler conversations centred around Australia Day and the need for stronger foundational narrative that accurately describes our country and that values that unite us. It is hard to have serious discussion about the meaning of European Settlement unless we can first agree on the facts. Yet fewer than four out of ten Australians know which event they are supposed to be celebrating or mourning, according a recent survey by Compass Polling. Only 39 per cent correctly identified it as the date of the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove. A new account of the founding of modern Australia by Margaret Cameron-Ash exposes how little we have known up to now about the British government's decision to establish a colony in NSW and how much of our understanding has been clouded by prejudice. Tellingly, Cameron-Ash trained as a lawyer, rather than a historian. Her book Beating France to Botany Bay: The Race to Found Australia debunks the myth that Australia was purely a dumping ground for Britain's criminal class, the explanation for settlement that was considered unquestionably true by Manning Clark, one of Australia's most influential historians. In his seminal four-volume A History of Australia, Clark makes no mention whatsoever of the French voyager Captain Jean Laperouse who's expedition to the Pacific stirred the British into action. Yet as Cameron-Ash documents, intelligence that Laperouse was on course for Australia with two vessels laden with trees, plants and seeds, manufactured goods, tools and unwrought iron convinced prime minister William Pitt the Younger that French settlement was imminent. Margaret Cameron Ash joins Nick Cater to describe the photo-finish to the race to Botany Bay and its consequences. Nick Cater is Executive Director of the Menzies Research Centre.

Australia's national day has its roots in the country's colonial past. It marks the day when the First Fleet of 11 British ships sailed into Port Jackson with Governor Arthur Phillip raising the British flag in Sydney Cove on 26 January, 1788. Many Indigenous Australians regard it as ‘Invasion' or ‘Survival' Day. How has the meaning of Australia Day changed over time? - Dita kombëtare e Australisë i ka rrënjët në të kaluarën koloniale të vendit. Ajo shënon ditën kur Flota e Parë me 11 anije britanike lundroi në Port Jackson prej ku Guvernatori Arthur Phillip ngriti flamurin britanik në Sydney Cove më 26 janar 1788.  Shumë australianë indigjenë e konsiderojnë këtë ditë si Ditën e "Pushtimit" ose te "Mbijetesës".  Por si ka ndryshuar kuptimi i Ditës së Australisë ne kohë?

Jody Broun appointed CEO of the National Indigenous Australians Agency Ms Broun, a Yindjibarndi woman from the Pilbara in Western Australia, will become the most senior Indigenous person in the Australian Public Service. “I am immensely proud that the National Indigenous Australians Agency will be led by an Indigenous woman of Ms Broun's calibre,” Minister Wyatt said. “She is a highly respected public servant and is passionate about community-led co-design, the economic empowerment of Indigenous Australians and that education is a key driver of positive change in our communities.

We cannot afford to lose momentum for change. We all must continue to Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! for systemic change and keep rallying around our mob, our Elders, our communities. Whether it's seeking proper environmental, cultural and heritage protections, Constitutional change, a comprehensive process of truth-telling, working towards treaties, or calling out racism—we must do it together.

He raised the British flag at Sydney Cove to claim New South Wales as a British Colony. This day marks the beginning of a long and brutal colonisation of people and land. On 26 January each year people in Australia are asked to celebrate a national holiday, now called Australia Day. But Australia Day celebrations are not generally embraced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as some non-Indigenous people. For many First Nations people this day is recognised as Survival Day or Invasion Day.

January 26 in Australia marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships in Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Philip. It is Australia day, a public holiday that is celebrated by many. It is also the day that the three Beaumont children disappeared without a trace in 1966.

Michael is joined each week by Aussie historian, author & entertainer Jim Haynes, for his unique knowledge of the not-so-famous characters from Australia's history. This week Jim shines the spotlight on Barney The Builder - The Empire's 'Mr Fixit'. George Barney was born in 1792 and his father was drawing master at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.  He joined the Royal Engineers in 1808 and served in the Peninsular War and in the West Indies, where he had several years experience of civil engineering. Arriving in Sydney 1835, Governor Bourke put him in charge of 'fixing up Sydney'. His dream was to straighten out the streets of the town. Among his many achievements were the removal of obstructions to navigation in the Parramatta River and the building of the 'semi circular quay' at Sydney Cove, forever known by the ridiculous abbreviated name of 'Circular Quay'! He also constructed a breakwater at Newcastle, the harbour at Wollongong, the beautiful and functional Victoria Barracks and repaired roads and bridges throughout the colony.

“Aboriginal people had a name for it... they called it ‘Devil Devil’...” In 1789, a disease tore through Aboriginal communities around Sydney Cove, or Warrane, leaving dead bodies floating in the harbour, and scattered along the shorelines. The evidence points to this being smallpox, but there’s still debate over how it got to Australia. Was it an accidental import with the arrival of European ships? Did it come from trading with other peoples in the region? Or was it deliberately introduced as a form of germ warfare? In this episode, Olivia Willis and Nakari Thorpe ask Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about this catastrophic moment in their history, and hear how their ancestors survived a cocktail of diseases they’d never before encountered.

COVID-19 is certainly isn't the first pandemic to hit Australian shores; in the past, we've been struck by the Spanish Flu, H1N1, HIV/AIDS. This week, on Patient Zero, the team revisits the first recorded epidemic in Australia, which arrived on the First Fleet and hit Aboriginal Australians living around Sydney Cove especially hard.

In 1789, a disease tore through Aboriginal communities around Sydney Cove, or Warrane, leaving dead bodies floating in the harbour, and scattered along the shorelines. Some think that this outbreak was a fire that was deliberately lit.

Australia has had censorship since Captain Arthur Phillip planted the Union Jack at Sydney Cove in 1788. During the mid 20th century Australia is said to have had one of the strictest Censorship regimes in the western world. Email me at jamesdampier.awp@gmail.com 

The symbols of Australia The symbols of Australia include the flag, national colours, the coat of arms and the national anthem, but there are many other things that make up the symbols of Australia - listen to Sue interview an Australian about the symbols of Australia. The Australian Flag The stars of the Southern Cross represent Australia's geographic position in the Southern Hemisphere. The large Commonwealth star symbolises the federation of the states and territories, and the Union Jack reflects Australia's early ties to Great Britain. The National Colours Australia's national colours are green and gold, the colours of its national floral emblem, the Golden Wattle. The Coat of Arms The Australian coat of arms consists of a shield containing the badges of the six Australian states symbolising federation, and the national symbols of the Golden Wattle, the kangaroo and the emu. By popular tradition, the kangaroo is accepted as the national animal emblem. The Golden Wattle was proclaimed the national floral emblem in August 1988. National Anthem Advance Australia Fair has been Australia's official national anthem since 19 April 1984. National Day Australia Day is celebrated each year on 26 January. The date is the anniversary of the unfurling of the British flag at Sydney Cove in 1788. National Holidays Australia has 12 public holidays a year, including New Year's Day, Australia Day and Anzac Day. An Australian soldier carries a wounded comrade near North Beach, Gallipoli (AWM H10363) DID YOU KNOW? Anzac Day, 25 April, is a national day of commemoration for all Australians who have fought in wars. It is the day the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915 during World War I. To mark Anzac Day, Australians and New Zealanders attend ceremonies at home and around the world, including in Gallipoli. In 2015, Australia marked the centenary of the Anzac landing with a ceremony at Gallipoli. Drawn from the collection of the National Museum of Australia, the Symbols of Australia exhibition explored some of the symbols Australians have chosen to represent themselves and their nation. Australia — both ancient continent and recent nation — is represented by many symbols. National symbols are often used to represent a distinctive national identity. Some symbols endure, others fade away and new symbols develop as attitudes and values change. Often a source of unity and pride, symbols can also divide and exclude. The Australian flag is legislated as an official symbol. Others, like the kangaroo and wattle, have changed from popular to official symbols over time. The boomerang was a symbol of the continent long before the nation came into being. In the 20th century, the Sydney Harbour Bridge came to symbolise Australia's spectacular attractions, while the Holden car became an emblem of the everyday.

Michael is joined by Geoffrey Blainey, historian, academic, philanthropist & commentator, for his insight into the history and significance of Australia Day.   Observed annually on January 26th, Australia Day marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in New South Wales and the raising of the British flag at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip.   In present-day Australia, celebrations aim to reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian community.     The date of 26 January 1788 marked the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland).

In 1796, the Calcutta merchants Campbell & Clark, sent a boat load of attractive goods, including much needed home and personal wares, and much desired rum, to sell to the isolated people in the new penal colony at Port Jackson (now current day Sydney). The Sydney Cove foundered and the men were obliged to take refuge on Preservation Island.  Some of the crew continued on, in a longboat & on foot, to raise the alarm & affect a rescue.  This month we retell the story of their epic journey.

Today we celebrate the first grapes that were grown down under and the poet who saved a tree that looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale. We'll learn about the painter who was supposed to paint pineapples but never did and the florist who did the flowers for Queen Elizabeth's coronation. We'll hear some thoughts on autumn from a Swiss philosopher and poet. We Grow That Garden Library with a riveting biography of a floral artist extraordinaire and the founder of the cordon bleu cooking school. I'll talk about how you can repurpose a big bulky item taking up space in your kitchen cupboard, and then we'll wrap things up with the Florida State Flower - think citrus!   But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Bob Randall's gardening book explains how to cope with Houston's hotter temperatures.   Dr. Bob has a new book for Houston gardeners - and great tips for dealing with warmer temps: 1. Grow your own food — even if it’s just a single pot of lettuce on a balcony. Food gardening cuts your carbon footprint. It sharpens your awareness of the natural world. And it’s an excellent way to fight depression about global warming. 2. If you’re a long-time gardener, accept that the time-honored planting dates you used ten years ago may no longer work for specific crops. If old reliables such as corn or lettuce are now failing year after year, ask yourself: Is it because the average temperature is too high for germination, pollination, or some other crucial stage of plant life? Adjust your planting schedule accordingly. 3. To cope with both flooding and droughts, add a pond or rain garden to your yard. During heavy storms, it will store rainwater. And over time, it will release it into the water table below your yard, keeping deep roots happy for months to come. 4. When doing your long-term planning, remember that Houston’s summer is hard both on plants and people. Plan to do as little hard outdoor work in your garden in the hot months as possible. Water with a soaker hose and automated timer. Plant cover crops to recharge the soil and keep out weeds. 5. Plant what grows well here in the warming subtropics — even if it means trying new foods or plants. Citrus trees, blackberries, figs, and persimmons grow exceptionally well here. And even in the dead of August, you can harvest crops such as long beans, tindora perennial cucumbers, and leaf amaranth.           Episode 50: Top 50 Plants - FineGardening@FineGardening  Zoo-Wee Mama!

In 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip of the First Fleet brought grape cuttings from South America and South Africa. Philip planted a small vineyard at Farm Cove - the site of the present Sydney Botanical Gardens. In the beginning, the settlement in New South Wales experienced great difficulty. Supplies were limited, so cultivating crops for food was the top priority. The soil in and around Sydney was poor, and the convicts lacked horticultural experience. Starvation was a real issue during those early days.  Not surprisingly, Philip's vines did not bear, but they were able to be transplanted to a new location - a three-acre vineyard at Parramatta. By this time, Arthur Philip had become the first Governor of New South Wales.  Philip's grapes were Crimson Grapes, which require warm, deep, and fertile soil. Fortunately, many regions in Australia are perfect for growing Crimson Grapes like areas in Victoria, New South Wales, and southeastern Queensland. Australian Crimson Grapes are harvested from November to May.           #OTD   Today is the birthday of the poet, Dodgers baseball fan, and founding member of the Friends of Prospect Park, Marianne Moore, who was born on this day in 1885. Moore was an eccentric intellectual who had a range of interests outside of poetry. In 1967, when she was 80 years old, Moore created a citizen group called the Friends of Prospect Park. Moore formed the group to protect endangered trees in Prospect Park - especially one tree in particular; the Camperdown Elm. Camperdown Elms have a fascinating history that dates back to 1840. That year, on the estate of the First Earl of Camperdown, the estate forester and Landscaper named David Taylor made a discovery. After planting much of the forest on the estate, one day, Taylor noticed a contorted young elm tree growing parallel to the ground. What Taylor was looking at was essentially a weeping mutation of the Scotch Elm. Like other weepers, the tree lacked the gene for negative geotropism, so the tree couldn't distinguish which way was up. Taylor dug up the young elm and brought it to the gardens of Camperdown House. Eventually, Taylor grafted cuttings of the weeping elm to Wych Elms, and the result was a tree that became known as a Camperdown Elm - a weeping cultivar of the Scotch Elm. Victorian gardeners loved Camperdown Elms - with their contortions and branches that grow out from the trunk quite parallel to the ground. In 1872, the New York florist Adolphus Goby Burgess gifted a Camperdown Elm to the Brooklyn Parks Commission. The Burgess family had immigrated from England twenty years earlier in 1852. They were highly regarded in the world of horticulture, and their specialty was dahlias. Adolphus, no doubt, acquired the tree thanks to his English connections. After receiving the tree from Burgess, it was Frederick Law Olmsted, who decided on the location for it. He decided to install it near the boathouse at Prospect Park. Since the graft was relatively low on the rootstock, Olmsted wisely planted the tree on a small hill allowing plenty of room for the weeping branches. By the time the Pulitzer-Winning Poet Marianne Moore fell in love with the Camperdown Elm at Prospect Park, it was in sad shape. Some of the limbs were hollow thanks to rats and carpenter ants. The weak areas of the tree made it vulnerable, and it began to succumb to a bacterial infection as well as general rot. Marianne used her fame and her wit to save the Camperdown Elm. She wrote a poem about the tree which was published in The New Yorker in September 1967. The public read her poem, and the Bartlett Tree Company saved the tree. It still stands today. Before I read the poem, I'll offer a few definitions. Thanatopsis is the name of a poem written by William Cullen Bryant. It's also a Greek word that means meditation on or thinking about death. Byrant's poem is a consolation to us; eventually, we will all die. Thomas Cole and Asher Durand were both landscape painters.  One of Asher Durand's most famous paintings is called Kindred Spirits. The picture shows two men standing on a rock ledge and shaded by the branches of an enormous elm tree in the Catskill Mountains. The men depicted were the painter, Thomas Cole, and his dear friend, the poet William Cullen Bryant. A curio is something novel, rare, or bizarre.   The Camperdown Elm I think, in connection with this weeping elm, of "Kindred Spirits" at the edge of a rock ledge overlooking a stream: Thanatopsis-invoking tree-loving Bryant conversing with Thomas Cole in Asher Durand's painting of them under the filigree of an elm overhead. No doubt they had seen other trees — lindens, maples and sycamores, oaks and the Paris street-tree, the horse-chestnut; but imagine their rapture, had they come on the Camperdown elm's massiveness and "the intricate pattern of its branches," arching high, curving low, in its mist of fine twigs. The Bartlett tree-cavity specialist saw it and thrust his arm the whole length of the hollowness of its torso, and there were six small cavities also. Props are needed and tree-food. It is still leafing; Still there. Mortal though. We must save it. It is our crowning curio.       #OTD   Today is the birthday of the country's most loved female painter, Georgia O'Keeffe, who was born on this day in 1887. During her incredible career as a painter, O'Keeffe created over 900 works of art. She is remembered for her iconic paintings of skulls and flowers. In 1938 when O'Keeffe's career was stalling, she was approached by an advertising agency about creating two paintings for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now Dole Food Company) to use in their advertising. O'Keefe was 51 years old when she took the nine weeks, all-expense-paid trip. O'Keeffe never did paint a pineapple. And gardeners will be amazed by this fact: Of all the floral paintings that O'Keefe created in Hawaii, exactly NONE  were native to the island.  Instead, O'Keeffe was drawn to tropicals that hailed from South America: Bougainvillea, Plumeria, Heliconia, Calliandra, and the White Bird of Paradise. It was Georgia O'Keeffe who said all of these quotes: "Nobody sees a flower—really—it is so small it takes time—we haven't time—and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty. I hate flowers — I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move! The days you work are the best days."           #OTD On this day in 1929, Constance Spry - who went by Connie - unveiled her first floral shop window display, and she shocked London by using hedgerow flowers.  Connie was a trailblazer. In the 1920s, she began creating flower arrangements for dinner parties. Her work made her an immediate hit with the socialites of her time. Her success led her to go into business, and she opened a flower shop as well as a flower arranging school. Connie designed the flowers for the coronation of H.M The Queen in 1953. During WWII, Connie gave lectures encouraging people to grow their own food. And, I  thought you'd get a kick out of this June 20, 1945 article on Connie from the Corsicana Daily Sun out of Texas: "Constance Spry, the English woman who not only arranges and sells flowers but also grows them, carried on all through the blitz. On one occasion a bomb struck her house it trembled the roof sagged, but the building held and Constance went right on working.    At the corner of Berkeley Square, the most elegant district of London lives Constance Spry with her flowers.    She introduced London to a new kind of flower shop. There is a bridal department, and a department for boutonnieres and corsages; a department for fresh flowers; one for trimming on hats, and on day and evening dresses.     In her greenhouse, Constance cultivates some rare and exotic beauties. They are used to decorate the homes and tables of clients, and they are also sent to recreation homes for soldiers, spreading joy to many.           Unearthed Words "Walked for half an hour in the garden. A fine rain was falling, and the landscape was that of autumn. The sky was hung with various shades of gray, and mists hovered about the distant mountains - a melancholy nature. The leaves were falling on all sides like the last illusions of youth under the tears of irremediable grief. A brood of chattering birds were chasing each other through the shrubberies, and playing games among the branches, like a knot of hiding schoolboys. Every landscape is, as it were, a state of the soul, and whoever penetrates into both is astonished to find how much likeness there is in each detail." - Henri Frederic Amiel, Swiss philosopher & poet     Today's book recommendation: The Surprising Life of Constance Spry by Sue Shephard I love love love the cover of this book! It shows Constance arranging flowers - ever the influential floral artist (and, btw - founder of the Cordon Bleu cooking school!)   Let me read from Sue's introduction: "Constance possessed a rare combination of talents: As a writer, innovator, gardener and above all of the florist and above all as a floral artist. She was a gifted lecturer and at different periods in her life headed schools for the richest and for the poorest. At a time when most women's expectations were still limited, she believed in instilling in girls from all backgrounds the confidence and freedom to create beauty. The fact that Connie served high society never meant that she wish to be part of it nor that she was impressed by the breeding and wealth of her clients. She was never a name-dropper.... Her friend the writer and gardener Beverly Nichols once described the art of flower arranging as pre-spry and post-spry. She was brilliant at improvisation and enthusiastic user of new materials such as plastics and sticky tape – And, she invented the use of scrunched up chicken wire well hidden to anchors ring stands and branches that would seem to fly out of her arrangements without the benefit of gravity. Instead of the priceless crystal, silver, porcelain or other heirlooms that she might be invited to use at her client's homes, she preferred baking tins, meat plates or junk finds to put her flowers in. Her genius for creating beauty of the cheapest and simplest materials was legendary."   What a story - a riveting biography.   You can get a used copy and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $3.         Today's Garden Chore Repurpose old punch bowls. Right about now, you might be thinking about going through your cupboards and sideboards as you prepare for the holidays. Seldom-used items like punch bowls end up in the donation pile. But, you can repurpose your punchbowls and use them in your home conservatory - the spot where you keep your houseplants. If you have a larger pot that you're worried about ruining a table, or your hardwood floor or carpet, a punch bowl serving as a drip tray may be the perfect solution.  Since most of my pots are terra cotta. I just place the terra cotta pot inside the punch bowl and viola!  It certainly is an excellent way to add a little water reserve for your plant. And, if the punchbowl is clear glass, it won't add any visual disturbance to your design aesthetic. Another way to repurpose a punchbowl is to consider using it as an open-top terrarium.        Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart #OTD On this day in 1909, The orange blossom was designated the state flower of Florida. The poet, William Livingston Larned was so inspired he wrote a poem called Florida's State Flower. And, the last little bit goes like this:   "Whenever  you see the spotless bud, You know tis Florida the fair. And wafted to you comes the scent Of all the blissful regions there. The rose may have its followers, The violet its standard, too; The fleur-de-lis and lily fair In tints of red and pink and blue; But just a scent, On pleasure bent, Of orange sweet, The nostrils greet, And from our dreams, the castles rise, Of groves and meadows 'neath calm skies."          Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Jock Serong is known as an author of gripping books about crime and catastrophe. His stories spark and seethe with tense emotional and political detail, often drawing on his other skills – in law, and in surf writing. He’s won wide critical acclaim for Quota, On the Java Ridge and The Rules of Backyard Cricket. Serong’s latest, Preservation, takes readers through a different kind of crime writing – this time set in 1797, and based on the true story of the shipwrecked Sydney Cove. It follows Lieutenant Joshua Grayling’s investigation of the wreck, its three terribly injured survivors, and their encounters with an unfamiliar land. At Montalto, Jock Serong chats with Elizabeth McCarthy about Preservation, human misdeeds, and the search for truth amid conflicting accounts.

Join Mat as he explores rare manuscripts and historic objects in the collection of the State Library of NSW, escorted by curator Maggie Patton. Highlights include Shakespeare's First Folio, Captain Cook's personal bible, a 1788 map of Sydney Cove, a heartbreaking dedication to a lost WWI soldier and Australia's first newspaper.

Welcome to all APC listerners to the first program of 2019.The 26th of January in Australia is a public holiday marking Australia Day. It celebrates the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.To the Indigenous people of Australia this day marks the start of colonialism, dispossession, exploitation and genocide. The first organised protests against this Day were held in 1938. The movement to abolish Australia Day has gathered momentum over the last few years. On Saturday January 26, protest rallies were held in all major cities around Australia attracting tens of thousands of Aboriginals and their supporters.Meriki Onus is a leading member of the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance (WAR), the group who organised the protest rally in Melbourne. The interview looks at the issues that confront Indigenous people in Australia to this day and the significance of the Invasion Day marches.Asia Pacific Currents provides updates of labour struggles and campaigns from the Asia Pacific region. It is produced by Australia Asia Worker Links, in the studio of 3CR Radio in Melbourne, Australia

Australia’s national day has its roots in the country’s colonial past. It marks the day when the First Fleet of 11 British ships sailed into Port Jackson with Governor Arthur Phillip raising the British flag in Sydney Cove on 26 January, 1788.

Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world.Today's episode features Jock Serong discussing his latest novel Preservation. Preservation explores the true story of the wreck of the merchant vessel Sydney Cove in Bass Strait in 1797. From the wreck 17 men make it to the mainland at ninety mile beach in Victoria and must walk over seven hundred kilometres to the incipient settlement at Port Jackson. Only three men survived this journey; a tale that survives to us recorded in the journal of the Scottish merchant William Clark.Into this space Jock Serong delivers a story of survival and treachery that examines the principles on which the colony of New South Wales was founded and the impact invading attitudes had on the land’s indigenous population.

Jock Serong delves into an often overlooked chapter of early Australian history in his novel, 'Preservation' which addresses the puzzling riddle of The Sydney Cove wreck in 1797 and its cargo of rum.Would life be simpler if relationships were mathematical instead of emotional, perhaps so, but not near as much fun as Katherine Collette has written about in 'The Helpline'.

The story of smallpox blankets offered as gifts to indigenous peoples as a weapon of war is ubiquitous -- but is it based in truth? And did our increased medical understanding of smallpox lead to its use as a biological weapon?  In this episode, we confront these questions and explore the history of biological warfare, smallpox, and medicine. Listen to all this, a new #AdamAnswers, and more in this episode of Bedside Rounds, a tiny podcast about fascinating stories in clinical medicine.

A remarkable story of survival in 18th century Australia.

Today is Australia Day. Here are some things you may not have known about Australia’s national holiday. Australia Day marks the 1788 arrival of the British First Fleet near Sydney, about 18 years after the first European set foot there. The fleet was sent to Australia to establish a penal colony on the coast of New South Wales following the loss of the British colonies that became the United States. The fleet arrived at Botany Bay on about a week before, but realized that the land there was unsuitable for a prison colony. After weathering a storm, the fleet moved about 15 miles north to Sydney Cove, where on the morning of January 26, Captain Arthur Phillip raised the British flag in the name of George III. The formal establishment of the Colony of New South Wales didn’t happen until February 7. The first formal celebration of the day was held in 1818, the 30th anniversary. A 30-gun salute marked the occasion, and all government workers in New South Wales were given an extra allowance of a pound of meat. At first the holiday was called Foundation Day. Each of the colonies of Australia held their own holidays on their different founding days. Tasmania held Regatta Day in December, South Australia had Proclamation Day on December 28, and Western Australia celebrated Foundation Day on June 1. In 1888, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of New South Wales, all colonial capitals, except Adelaide, celebrated Anniversary day. By 1935, all the states of Australia celebrated January 26 as Australia Day, although it was still called Anniversary Day in New South Wales. It wasn’t until 1994 that all states and territories celebrated a unified public holiday on the same day. The holiday is regarded by some as a symbol of the British domination of indigenous people. Some mark the day as Invasion Day or Survival Day. Many celebrations of Australia Day acknowledge this history and include indigenous people. Our question: Who originally claimed New South Wales for the British in 1770?   Today is Republic Day in India, Liberation Day in Uganda, and Engineer’s Day in Panama. It’s unofficially National Peanut Brittle Day, Clashing Clothes Day, and International Customs Day. It’s the birthday of General Douglas MacArthur, who as born in 1880; actor Paul Newman, who was born in 1925; comedian Ellen DeGeneres, who is 59; and hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, who is 56. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 2015, the top song in the U.S. was “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.
