Worn by Pastor Steinicker (?)These three items, a black top hat, white leather gloves, and a white pastor’s collar, form a significant ensemble representing the life, service, and cultural legacy of Pastor Ewald Herman Otto Steiniger. Donated by his son, Dieter Steiniger, the objects provide rare, tangible insight into the clerical traditions and community leadership of the German Lutheran congregation at Westgarthtown. Pastor Steiniger served both Trinity German Lutheran Church in East Melbourne and the Thomastown congregation from 1935 to 1964. Over nearly three decades, he guided his community through socially and politically turbulent times, including the years surrounding the Second World War. In April 1942, he was suddenly interned by the Australian Government and held at Tatura Internment Camp for 930 days before his release in 1944. Despite this profound disruption, he returned to his pastoral duties, continuing to support, stabilise, and preserve the cultural and spiritual life of his congregation. The black top hat reflects formal clerical dress of the early–mid twentieth century. Within German Lutheran tradition, such hats were worn to important services and solemn occasions, particularly funerals, symbolising respect and reverence. The accompanying white gloves and pastor’s collar complete the ceremonial ensemble, offering a fuller understanding of pastoral attire and the visual language of Lutheran liturgical practice of the time. Together, these objects hold strong historical, cultural, and interpretive value. They honour the enduring contribution of Pastor Steiniger and deepen the connection between the Westgarthtown site and the community it served. Pastor Steiniger and his wife, Annemarie (née Kraemer), are buried in the historic Westgarthtown Lutheran Cemetery, further strengthening the significance of this ensemble as part of the precinct’s heritage story.

This publication covers the mid 1900s and relates to a period where the majority of the Australian population was engrossed with the Queen of Australia, even though her Highness did not reside on this continent. The period covered was before the great immigration insurgence from Europe.The Labour Party's "White Australian" policy was a hinderance and a barrier towards the Asian and African prospective immigrants. The motto Queen and Country was still very ingrained in the rural population. This period in Australian domestic self reliance, brought about the growing strength and very active trade union movement and their staunch support for the Tariff protection against a growing swell of imported goods. This self reliance psyche was essentially a by product of World War II, and the isolation felt by the Australian People. The Queen (royalty) was the binding force holding the British Empire together which was emphasised with her popularity when touring Australia Queen Elizabeth's visited the MCG twice in 1954 1. to attend an assembly of ex-servicemen and women's organisations 2. to attend a Children's Display. She also visited Government House and visited Country Victoria on the Royal train from 24th Feb - 9th March.The Kiewa Valley and all the rural areas in the region were still very much tied to the "mother land" and trade between Britain and Australia was very strong. Trade with Asian manufacturers was minimal and needed the late 1900s to see both the trade and immigration barriers fall. This book was produced during a time when the majority of Australians looked more to England for trade and companionship. The agricultural trade with England and Europe was very high and the motto of the time was "Australia grows on the sheep's back". Late 1900's saw the motto "Australia grows on the miner's back" The Queen was still very popular then which was emphasised by the large crowds which greeted her on tour. Residents of Mt Beauty including Cubs, Brownies, Scouts and Guides travelled to Benalla to see the Queen. Clare Roper was a founding member of the KVHS and attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace representing the local CWA. She has purchased this book and therefore giving this a close historical significance connection, it has good provenance and interpretive capacity. This hard(blue coloured) covered book contains thirty six double sided pages. Both the first and last pages (inside cover included) has the royal crest of Australia (kangaroo and emu) balancing the individual six states crests ,united under the royal crown.

For many Australians, Australia's participation in World War 1 is both an essential part of their national identity and an inevitable consequence of their British heritage; it is a popular view that Australia perceived its national interests and those of Britain to be one. In this major study, John Mordike challenges this view of Australia's past by exposing the competing national and imperial influences which shaped the foundation of the Australian Army. The book reveals how political ambition and electoral pressures subordinated a farsighted policy of defence self-reliance to the demands of imperial defence.Hard cover book, 310 pagesISBN 1 86373 192 Xmilitary history, mordike, australian army, colonial era, perfidious albion, military history, mordike, australian army, colonial era, perfidious albion

All members of the Australian Survey Corps, that was later renamed the Royal Australian Survey Corps were expected to be proficient at freehand lettering and figuring. Initially all text on military maps was hand lettered in ink and an extremely high level of proficiency was required. Later technology changes meant that there was less reliance on hand lettering. This 17 x foolscap sized page booklet with light buff coloured cardboard covers held together with an ARNOS fastener was used to teach members of the Australian Survey Corps how to Hand Letter in 1947. Example practice lettering style work sheets are included at the rear of the document.17 x foolscap sized pages with light buff coloured cardboard covers held together with an ARNOS fastener.
