When his captors realised McCain's family background, they offered him early release.

Work on paper - Charcoal and pages from Aboriginal Words and Place Names, Jenna Lee, Without us, 2022
Jenna Lee dissects and reconstructs colonial 'Indigenous dictionaries' and embeds the works with new cultural meaning. Long obsessed with the duality of the destructive and healing properties that fire can yield, this element has been applied to the paper in the forms of burning and mark-making. In Without Us, Lee uses charcoal to conceal the text on the page, viewing this process as a ritualistic act of reclaiming and honouring Indigenous heritage while challenging the oppressive legacies of colonialism. Lee explains in Art Guide (2022), ‘These books in particular [used to create the proposed works] are Aboriginal language dictionaries—but there’s no such thing as “Aboriginal language”. There are hundreds of languages. The dictionary just presents words, with no reference to where they came from. It was specifically published by collating compendiums from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, with the purpose to give [non-Indigenous] people pleasant sounding Aboriginal words to name children, houses and boats. And yet the first things that were taken from us was our language, children, land and water. And the reason our words were so widely written down was because [white Australians] were trying to eradicate us. They thought we were going extinct. The deeper you get into it, the darker it gets. But the purpose of my work is to take those horrible things and cast them as something beautiful.’Framed artwork -

Photograph - Group Photograph, 1990
This event, captured in a photograph from 1990, reflects the school’s emphasis on celebration, inclusion, and creating lasting memories for its students. The image serves as a valuable historical artifact, preserving a moment of joy and togetherness from a school that no longer exists but remains fondly remembered.This photograph and associated documentation of the 1990 Christmas picnic at Jacana Primary School hold significant historical and cultural value. Captured during a time when the school was a thriving educational and community hub in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, the image reflects the spirit of inclusivity, celebration, and community engagement that defined the school’s ethos. The event exemplifies the school’s commitment to fostering a nurturing and joyful environment for its students. The annual Christmas picnic was more than a festive occasion—it was a communal ritual that brought together children, families, and staff in a shared experience of joy, tradition, and belonging. The 1990 photograph is particularly significant as it: Documents a community tradition that was central to the school’s identity. Captures the diversity and vibrancy of the student body during a formative period in the area’s demographic evolution. Serves as a visual record of a school that no longer exists, following its closure and amalgamation in the early 2000s. Provides a touchstone for memory and heritage, especially for former students, staff, and local residents. As Jacana Primary School has since been closed and redeveloped, this image and its context serve as a rare and valuable artifact. It preserves a moment in time that speaks to the broader narrative of public education, suburban development, and community life in late 20th-century Melbourne.A glossy colour photograph of children with adults.PH18289 (crossed out) PH-4209 (crossed out) PH-4868jacana primary school, christmas picnic, 1990, jacana, education -

Photograph - Class Photograph, Jacana Primary School: Grade 5/6P, 1991, 1991
This 1991 group photograph of Grade 5/6 students and their teacher at Jacana Primary School provides a vivid snapshot of suburban school life in Melbourne during a time of notable social and urban transformation. Established in 1959, Jacana Primary served as a vital educational and community hub until its closure in the early 2000s. More than a place of learning, the school fostered a strong sense of identity, belonging, and shared experience among its students and staff. The image reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing inclusive and supportive environments for young learners. It also subtly documents the growing cultural diversity of Jacana in the late 20th century, as suburban development brought together families from a wide range of backgrounds. As part of the school’s visual archive, this photograph contributes to a broader understanding of how public education helped shape community identity, promote social cohesion, and influence the lives of generations of children and families.This 1991 class photograph of Grade 5/6 students and their teacher at Jacana Primary School is a historically significant artifact that captures a moment in time within a vibrant and evolving suburban community. Taken during a period of considerable social and urban change in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, the image reflects the school’s enduring role as a centre of education, inclusion, and community connection. Jacana Primary School, established in 1959 and closed in the early 2000s, was more than an academic institution—it was a place where children from diverse backgrounds came together, forming lasting relationships and shared memories. The photograph documents the increasing cultural diversity of the Jacana area in the late 20th century, offering insight into how public schools adapted to and reflected broader societal shifts. As part of the school’s visual archive, this image contributes to the historical narrative of public education in Victoria. It highlights the importance of schools as social anchors, fostering identity, cohesion, and continuity across generations. Its preservation ensures that the legacy of Jacana Primary School—and the community it served—remains visible and valued.
