non-fictionThe gripping story of a small force of Australian Special Forces commandos that launched relentless hit and run raids on far superior Japanese forces in East Timor for most of 1942. These Australians were the men of the 2/2nd Australian Independent Company – a special commando unit. Initially stranded without radio contact to Australia, the Japanese declared these beared warriors ‘outlaws’ and warned they would be executed immediately if captured. The Australians drawn mainly from the bush, were chosen for their ability to operate independently and survive in hostile territory. As film-maker Damien Parer said after visiting in Timor in late 1942, ‘these men are writing an epic of guerrilla warfare’. Expertly researched by Paul Cleary, who is fluent in Tetum, the main language of the indigenous group of East Timor, it contains black and white photos.ww2, independent company, timor, world war ii, australian commando

"My work combines traditional mosaic methods with flame-worked and kiln-worked glass in an innovative and experimental process, creating a unique three-dimensional effect. I handcraft every piece of glass in my work, and then combine them in my own unique style, which is strikingly different to that of conventional two-dimensional glass mosaics." - Lucy Cleary Artist Bio Lucy Cleary began making mosaics in 2006. Her works often feature natural elements, and also show an Asian influence, as she lived in Korea for seven years. She works in a variety of materials, including stained glass, smalti, fused glass and natural materials. Recent exhibitions include Victorian Mosaic Exhibition, Mosaic Association of Australia & New Zealand (MAANZ), Australia; 30:30 Vision, Crusty Oceania, Australian Embassy Berlin, Germany, 2009. Lucy has won numerous prizes for her work, including 1st prize at the Royal Melbourne Show, 2009 and 1st prize for Kiln-formed Glass & Best of Show in Glass Art, Royal Melbourne Show, 2008.

The Keoghs took up Lot 7 in the Village Settlement in 1905. John Keogh was a big Irishman and cleared many of the giant trees on his Lot 7. They had little water for their crops so grew gooseberries and red currants rather than the more valuable strawberries. Mrs Keogh (nee Cleary) inherited money in 1906 and they built a new weatherboard house. The original bush hut remained as the kitchen. Son James (Jimmie) married Mary Walsh, a teacher at the local school. Jimmie built the small shop on the triangle of land cut off when the CRB road went through. Jimmie and his wife left the district when he joined Victoria Police. Jimmie came back to the area and finally sold the land of Lot 7 to Rimington's Nurseries. He moved his family to Kilsyth. In 1939 the shop was moved across the road to be used as an office by the road builders. It burned down that year.Black and white photograph of a man, woman and young male standing outside a wooden hut. There are crop remnants in the foreground and a wooden paling fence behind the hut.

Book review of "Guns and brooches: Australian Army Nursing from the Boer War to the Gulf War" by Jan Bassett. Jan Bassett painstakingly traced Australian Army nursing through the six major conflicts of the past ninety-three years: Boer War, World War One and Two, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. Though nurses have been celebrated throughout literature, in reality the endured low status, appalling work conditions, low pay and occasionally betrayal by their male officers. Such as the army doctors in Papua New Guinea taking the unit's ambulances on the approach of the Japanese, leaving the nurses and wounded behind. In an incident during World War Two, British army officers in charge of a hospital ship disembarked the entire contingent of Australian nurses in Indonesia, without any resources, for disputing the distributing of medical supplies and drugs to their patients onboard. Also during World War Two nurses were increasingly given honourary officer status, with requirements for them to abide by the disciplines of the army, while lacking many privileges of their rank. Until comparatively recently the same privileges and facilities open to returned servicemen were not extended to army nurses and there are many documented cases of extreme poverty. But times are changing, with recognition, status and equal pay now here to stay.A large newspaper clipping of a title, six columns of text and a black and white photo of women in what appears to be an army hospital, some are standing, some are seated and some are laying down.
