Happy winter solstice!

“Australians are just now on their shortest allowance of sunshine. Today is the shortest day of the year. The sun worshippers are in sackcloth and ashes, or, at all events, in long faces, which comes to the same thing. Astronomically this is almost the middle of winter, the winter solstice.”

URGENT: Development Application St Johns Park - Orphans School Hobart. a development application has been lodged with the Hobart City Council for a new mental health centre near the site of the now demolished workshop and adjacent to and/or overlapping the burial ground. While The Friends does not oppose the provision of Mental Health Services and Tasmanian Eating Disorder facilities at St John’s Park, there are some serious shortcomings with this proposal which put at risk the Heritage values of the precinct.
The full documentation, which exceeds 500 pages, is available here: https://apply.hobartcity.com.au/Pages/XC.Track/SearchApplication.aspx?id=296462 Representations may be made by members of the public until Tuesday 18 June and we encourage you to do so, noting the tight timeframe.
Impact on historic heritage values of St John’s Burial Ground with There are approximately 2000 burials in St John’s Burial Ground, dating from 1836 to 1938. The Friends of the Orphan Schools does not oppose the provision of Mental Health Services and Tasmanian Eating Disorder (TED) facilities at St John’s Park site, but suggests that there could be a more appropriate location which better respects the heritage values of the site

Three copies remaining - End of Print Run Sale: Settlers and Landholder Norfolk Island 1793. Reviews the debacle produced by the flawed positioning of land lots and the strife with the over promise of actual land and its inconvenience caused an exodus of both marine and convict settlers who gave up their rights to grounds and left the Island. Included is the list of land holders and lots locations on Norfolk Island in 1793 and owner of land grants and leases in 1796. End of print run sale June 2024: Includes research guide that showcases the first 13 land allotments in December 1791, featuring the original alignment of land lots and movement of land holders with the replotting of land grants https://heritagetourismau.rezdy.com/566156/settlers-and-landholders-norfolk-island-1793

Did you know that on 21 June 1785 Sir George Young and John Call submitted a memorial to the Court of Directors of the East India Company on behalf of themselves and several others. The memorial related to their plans to establish a settlement on one of the smaller islands in the Pacific Ocean for the cultivation of the flax plant and its manufacture into cordage, as well as the supply of masts for shipping. Their preferred island for this settlement was Norfolk Island. https://heritagetourismau.rezdy.com/632793/captain-cook-convention-norfolk-island-october-2024

Thursday 6th June marks the 80th Anniversary of D-Day

Join Anzac Memorial for a lecture to discover the role Australians played in Normandy as told by the Anzac Memorial's Senior Historian and Curator Brad Manera.

D-Day is a simple military term for the day of the commencement of an operation or exercise but for generations, since 6 June 1944, the word D-Day has evoked images of the Allied landings in Normandy intended to liberate Europe from four years of N**i occupation.

In 1944 most Australians were focused on the war in the Pacific but some 3,000 Australian service personnel fought in the Normandy campaign. Codenamed Operation Overlord, it was one of the largest and riskiest, certainly the most famous, amphibious operation in history.

Brad Manera has just returned from a visit to the Normandy beaches and his presentation will discuss the role played by Australians in an event that changed the course of world history and share case studies of a handful of Australians, who saw action in Operation Overlord.

The lecture will begin at 11.30am in the Memorial's Auditorium on Lower Ground level. Entry is via Liverpool Street.
