Photograph of papier mache constructed camel with fur...Sculpture Animals Jane Spracklan Photograph of papier mache constructed camel with fur Camel Photograph Image ...This sculpture was created by artist Jane Spracklan, for the 'More than just a Look' exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1996. It has resided at several Vision Australia sites, including St Kilda Road, Macaulay Road and Glenferrie Road, and brought much joy to those who saw it as part of their daily work routine and adorned her with a string of beads. Christened 'Amelia' by staff in 2012, her paper coating was beginning to deteriorate over the years with the woolen fur covering coming apart from her hump. Her beaming smile continued to cheer staff, particularly in the Children's Services division, and she found her new home at kindergarten, surrounded by love and small hands.Photograph of papier mache constructed camel with fursculpture, animals, jane spracklan -

Shanley ; assistant secretary, Mr P. Farley ; vice-presidents, Messrs L. Dwyer and P. Wall; treasurer, Mr D. Lane ; auditors, Messrs F. Shanley and M. Foley ; press correspondent, Mr P. Crowe. A com mittee of 12 was elected, and a sub committee was appointed to draft rules governing the society. It was decided to hold meetings fortnightly, Friday evenings being the choice for meetings. Immediately before 11 o'clock Mass at St. Brigid's R.C. Church, Crossley, on Sunday last, the Rev Father Kerin blesssed und unveiled a beautiful life-size statue of St. Brigid. The rev gentleman, in a lengthy discourse, dwelt on the life of piety led by the saint. He expressed a wish that in passing by the statue it would be a reminder to them that their church and school were dedicated to this saint. {Port Fair Gazette, 19 April 1915.}Colour photograph of a papier mache statue of St Brigid, photographed at St Brigid's Crossley.st brigid statue, st brigid's crossley, d'aprato statue co., st brigid -

Situated in the suburb of Jacana, the school was part of a broader post-war initiative aimed at delivering accessible public education to communities shaped by migration, industrial growth, and government housing programs. Over the decades, Jacana Primary evolved alongside its community, reflecting the changing social and cultural landscape of the area. By the 1990s and early 2000s, the school had become a vibrant and inclusive environment, welcoming students from a wide range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. This diversity was embraced through inclusive teaching practices, multicultural celebrations, and student leadership initiatives such as the junior student council. The 2006 photograph captures a moment near the end of the school’s operation, showcasing the unity and shared purpose of its students and staff. It highlights the school’s role not only as a place of learning but also as a centre for community building, civic engagement, and social support. Although Jacana Primary School closed in the early 2000s, its legacy endures through archival materials like this photograph. These records offer valuable insights into the role of public education in shaping community identity and fostering social cohesion during a transformative period in Melbourne’s suburban history. The 2006 Students and Staff photograph from Jacana Primary School is a historically significant visual record that captures the final chapter of a school deeply embedded in Melbourne’s northern suburban landscape. Established in 1959 during a wave of post-war development, Jacana Primary was part of a broader initiative to provide accessible public education to communities shaped by migration, industrial growth, and housing expansion. This photograph reflects the school’s enduring commitment to inclusion, diversity, and community engagement. By the early 2000s, Jacana Primary had become a vibrant educational environment, welcoming students and staff from a wide range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. The image documents the collaborative spirit and shared purpose that defined the school’s ethos, highlighting its role as both a learning institution and a centre of social cohesion. As one of the final visual records before the school’s closure, the photograph holds particular significance. It offers insight into the lived experiences of students and educators during a transformative period in Melbourne’s suburban history and stands as a testament to the lasting impact of public education in fostering community identity and resilience.A colour photograph mounted on matte Paper with a purple border(Blue Label) PH - 5383 Classic Studios VIC order: p337249 / Frame x Jacana whole school item 4 Kodak Professional / Endura Paper. papier. papel / Professional images are/ copyright protected / Dutch copyright Gerschütz jacana primary school, education, photograph, group photograph, 2006, students and staff, jacana -

Bellarine Historical Society MuseumInstrument - Fuller Spiral Cylindrical Slide Rule, W.F. Stanley & Co, 1935
... A second papier-mache cylinder is a slide fit over the first. ...A second papier-mache cylinder is a slide fit over the first. ...The Fuller cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long. It was invented in 1878 by George Fuller, professor of engineering at Queen's University Belfast, and despite its size and price it remained on the market for nearly a century because it outperformed nearly all other slide rules. He patented it in Britain in 1878, described it in a journal in 1879 and in that year he also patented it the United States, depositing a patent model. As with other slide rules, the Fuller is limited to calculations based on multiplication and division with additional scales allowing for trigonometrical and exponential functions. The mechanical calculators produced in the same era were generally restricted to addition and subtraction with only advanced versions, like the Arithmometer, able to multiply and divide. Even these advanced machines could not perform trigonometry or exponentiation and they were bigger, heavier and much more expensive than the Fuller. In the mid-twentieth century the handheld Curta mechanical calculator became available which also competed in convenience and price. However, for scientific calculations the Fuller remained viable until 1973 when it was made obsolete by the HP-35 handheld scientific electronic calculator. Fuller's calculators were manufactured by the scientific instrument maker W.F. Stanley & Co. of London who made nearly 14,000 between 1878 and 1973.Like all slide rules, logarithmic scales are used to facilitate calculations more quickly and efficiently. The spiral logarithmic scale greatly increases the precision and computing power of the slide rule. In addition, its tables provide useful information to its users, most likely engineers. Its remarkable length permitted a high level of precision in calculations; calculations could be made to 4 or 5 significant digitsThe fuller calculator, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. There is a papier-mache cylinder fastened to a mahogany handle. A second papier-mache cylinder is a slide fit over the first. Both cylinders are covered in paper varnished with shellac. A brass pointer with an engraved index marker at its tip is attached to the handle and a second brass pointer is attached to the top cap. On the outer cylinder is a helical logarithmic scale 500" (41'8" or about 12.5 m) in length. This cylinder can be slid and rotated upon the inner one and hence with the correct sequence of movements, multiplications and divisions can be made and the answers read off the two pointers which project over the cylindrical scale.FULLER CALCULATOR inscribed on brass pointerscientific instrument, mathematics, calculating -

Celluloid is one of the first synthetic plastics. It is a plastic created from wood products that includes cellulose nitrate and camphor. However Celluloid is flammable and deteriorates easily if exposed to moisture, and can be prone to cracking and yellowing with certain formulations.

Dobell and his fellow artists were commissioned to camouflage airfields during WWII, and as part of this ruse Dobell made papier-mâché cows and scattered them around airfields to deceive the Japanese pilots – "Said Bill, I think the authorities underestimate the eyesight of the Japanese airmen". There is very little historical record that these cows actually existed although Dobell's camouflage activities at Menangle and Bankstown aerodrome are well documented in the Australian War Memorial and by the photography of Max Dupain. Dobell's cows were first exhibited at Niagara Galleries, Melbourne, in 1993. Whilst studying at the Slade, a work from this series, ‘Two men lifting a cow’ was reproduced in France on the front page of Libération. These early indications that Kelly's work had broader resonance beyond Australia influenced Kelly greatly, and his thoughts for future international projects.Collection of two cardboard mock up scuptures of John Kelly famous Dobell cow scuptures.
