25.01.2022 Many congratulations to HHA board member John Dunn, and all involved in this fantastic project. #Repost @benpeake Sirius Apartments... I'm delighted that John, Amiera, and I have received the 2020 Adrian Ashton Prize for Architectural Culture & Literature for Sirius. Congratulations also to Tim Ross for Designing A Legacy Preview - Sydney Opera House, and Michael Bleby for House Rules. @modernister has been such a great supporter and energy in the @saveoursirius campaign. @michaelbleby has followed the story from he start and reported fairly asking us all good questions! Sirius has now been empty for over 1,000 days. What a waste when we have 50,000 on the housing waiting list. 5,000 of them on the priority list. So many people contributed directly to this book including; @shaun_carter_cwa @modernister #TaoGofers Grace Karskens Alan Morris Fayroze Lutta Margaret Bishop Shirtley Fitzgerald Charles Pickett @_katlu @theguthrieproject @barton_taylor @richardbriggs_artist And so so many more through their contributions and support of @SaveOurSirius - many who are acnkoldged in the last page of the book.

19.01.2022 'Local residents are pushing for heritage protection of a house in Melbourne’s Hampton set to be featured on next year’s season of reality renovation TV show The Block. The house at 8 Bronte Court was designed by renowned Melbourne architect Neil Clerehan as part of the Small Homes Service a program that allowed members of the public to buy affordable off-the-shelf plans for architecturally designed homes and have them built... ...And, the design is rare, as it was only off...ered to the public for a limited time and few similar examples were sold.' https://www.domain.com.au//the-block-2021-heritage-protec/

16.01.2022 Dyarubbin: The Real Secret River Wednesday 11 November 2020, 6.30pm - 8.00pm Online event... Free For Members $10 Non-members In 2017, historian Grace Karskens stumbled across an astonishing document in the Mitchell Library: a list of over 170 long-lost Aboriginal names for places on Dyarubbin, the Hawkesbury River. The list was compiled early in 1829 by a young Presbyterian minister, the Reverend John McGarvie, incumbent at Pitt Town. Not only did he carefully record the names given to him by Aboriginal informants, in many cases he included locations. Almost 100 of these names have been relocated and mapped through a collaborative project, Dyarubbin: The Real Secret River, funded by the State Library of New South Wales’ Coral Thomas Fellowship. Bit by bit, these names are revealing lost geographies of river forests, plants and animals, zones of saltwater and fresh, men’s, women’s and ceremonial places, and areas of profound sacred significance. Please join us for a fascinating webinar session, as Darug team members Leanne Watson and Erin Wilkins join historian Grace Karskens in a discussion of this significant project. Tickets available via our website www.hha.net.au/upcoming-events Joy Lai’s beautiful shot of Gunanday, the Macdonald River #history #heritage #aboriginal #hawkesbury #hawkesburyriver #secretriver #sacred #geography #darug
