A history of Armidale, 1863-1938 Armidale 75th anniversary of the Municipality in 1938 is one of those indispensable local histories that are sought by family historians seeking to put flesh on the bones of their ancestors' genealogy by examining their places of residence. Although it celebrates an anniversary in the life of Armidale the coverage goes back further than 1863, to the very first days of European settlement in the district. The story includes the earliest families of the region such as Sempill, Dangar, Dumaresq, Turner, Clerk, Elliot, Everett, Baker, Morse, Tourle and Fenwicke. The book contains interesting old photographs of the scenic places around Armidale, the story of the bushranger Ward, known as Thunderbolt, the history of the region's newspapers, and a summary of all the major holdings including Saumarez, Gostwyck, Abington, and Salisbury Court. Mayors are all named with their term of office as are all those who contributed to the 75th anniversary celebrations. Potted histories of all institutions including the churches, schools and colleges, hospitals, institutes and societies, the Armidale Teachers College, the New England University, and the Chamber of Commerce are featured. Sporting organizations are not forgotten and receive a similar treatment. For any reader with a link to Armidale this is a must read!1 optical discnon-fictionA history of Armidale, 1863-1938 Armidale 75th anniversary of the Municipality in 1938 is one of those indispensable local histories that are sought by family historians seeking to put flesh on the bones of their ancestors' genealogy by examining their places of residence.

Merri-bek City CouncilPainting - Liquid nails and spray enamel on canvas, Brian McKinnon, Scars, 2008
Uncle Brian McKinnon (b. 1957 – d. 2023) was a Geelong-based artist and descendent of the Amangu and Wongai people of Western Australia. He created powerful mixed media works that explore his campaign for Aboriginal rights and his childhood experiences growing up in Western Australia. Scars is a deeply personal and political work that reflects on some of the ways in which Aboriginal people have historically been discriminated against and marginalised because of the colour of their skin and cultural practices. Originally exhibited with two other paintings, it was also made in honour of the artist’s children and their struggle to maintain positive self-esteem. Uncle Brian McKinnon said his children inherited keloids from their ancestors: ‘These keloids look like body scars. In this work, I have placed them in the past and the presence of their ancestors through the act of beautifying the marks, which reflect the landscape and the identity of the person wearing the beautification marks. Although the marks on my children are not so beautiful and they are ostracised because of them, this made me think of racist policies and of course the referendum and when my people were seen for the first time as being human.’ -
