APT9/ Artist Stories: Jonathan Jones
Delve deeper / Jonathan Jones 'untitled (giran)' is a murmuration of winged sculptures. Made of almost 2,000 sculptures, Jonathan Jones’s 'untitled (giran)' is reminiscent of a map of intersecting wind currents, evoking birds in flight, and knowledge, change and new ideas circling above our heads. The work draws on the Wiradjuri concept of giran which describes the winds, change, as well as feelings of fear and apprehension.
Traditional tools are at the heart of the artwork. Bound to each tool with handmade string is a small bundle of feathers (tiny ‘wings’) – found treasures – carefully gathered and sent to Jones by people from across the country.
The circling murmuration of flying ‘birds’ is composed of six tool types – bagaay – an emu eggshell spoon, bindu-gaany – a freshwater mussel scraper, waybarra – a weaving start, bingal – a bone awl, dhala-ny – a wooden spear point, and galigal – a stone knife. Each tool has limitless potential.

25 Things That Only Happen in Australia
Australia is a country where people pay with plastic money, some fish are over 300 million years old, and cockroach racing is a big deal. In Australia, some roads are so long and boring that they put signs there to entertain drivers. They can contain images of rich local fauna, or trivia questions to keep you alert, and possibly even save your life in the fatigue zone.
It is a fascinating country where you can rent a grandma and see a fire that’s been burning for over 5,500 years. Interested? Here is a list of facts that you might not know about the country but are useful if you ever plan to travel there. And if you don’t plan on visiting anytime soon, at least you’ll be able to show off your knowledge!
TIMESTAMPS:
A cattle ranch that’s bigger than Israel 0:23
New Zealand is not for sale 0:46
You will pay a fine if you don’t vote in an election 1:12
Random giant sculptures across the country 2:00
Entertaining road signs 2:28
The birthplace of UGG boots 3:08
Plastic money 3:35
A looot of immigrants 4:03

SUMMARY:
- You might have seen a lot of weird eBay listings, but one guy from Australia outweirded them all. In 2006, he tried to sell New Zealand at a starting price of less than a cent.
- If you’re over 18 years old, then you’re legally old enough to vote in Australia. But missing a vote without a good reason will cost you anywhere from $20 to $50.
- What does the Sydney Opera House look like to you? A bunch of sails? In fact, the architect who designed it was inspired when eating an orange!
- There are 150 random giant sculptures across the country. Giant statues of mushrooms, acorns, ants, boxing crocodile and what not, are placed along roads to attract tourists.
- Americans were the first to patent the UGG brand, but the legendary boots actually come from Australia!
- Since 1988, Australian money has been made out of polymer, a special kind of plastic.
- Australia is such a great place to be, that at least 70 tourists overstay their visas every week.
- The super famous Australian name “Kylie” comes from the name of an Aboriginal Noongar hunting stick; something like a boomerang.
- Australia is home to the longest golf course on the planet. Nullarbor Links is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course that’s 850 miles long!
- The first police force Down Under was made up entirely of convicts!
- The Australian national soccer team set a world record in 2001 when it beat American Samoa 31 – 0.
- Even though it’s really easy to find kangaroo meat in supermarkets and restaurants across the country, it’s not what Australians eat all the time, despite the common stereotype.
- The wombat is the only animal in the world that has cube-shaped poo. Some experts believe it’s used to mark territory, since it doesn’t roll away.
- Every year, the cockroach racing world championship takes place in Brisbane. The first one took place in 1982, and ever since, it’s become a big hit.
- Australia could’ve been Dutch! Dutchman Abel Tasman discovered Australia in 1642, over a hundred years before James Cook in 1770.

The Patience Of Rockhounding - Blood, Sweat and Chalcedony
Pauly and I go out in search of a secret mineral deposit of chalcedony. A rockhounding folk lore in our area. We don’t find the magical seam of agate, but we do find a creek that gives up its beauty in waterline and moss agate, and pauly finds his biggest agate nodule yet. Rockhounding is a passion, and whether they’re big or small, or high quality or just pretty, it always takes patience to find the gems the creeks hold.
For other rockhounding videos please visit my playlist:

Central Tilba, Far South Coast NSW
One of our nearest towns, Central Tilba has a bunch of character from rural charm to early Australian architecture to arts, crafts, coffee and cheeses. The pub is worthy of a visit as well (there aren't many that are not are there?) Spend some time here while you are in the area but be careful if you bring a big rig into town, it can be a bit tight. Cheers Jo and John

Mount Grenfell handback 10th anniversary celebrations 2014
Interview: Colin Clark, Chair Mt Grenfell Historic Site Board of Management.
Saturday 12 July 2014 marked the celebration of 10 years since Mount Grenfell Historic Site, near Cobar in Western NSW, was handed back to the Ngiyanpaa people.
Two hundred people gathered at Mt Grenfell Historic Site, near Cobar in western NSW on Saturday 12 July, to celebrate ten years since Mt Grenfell Historic Site was handed back to the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan people.
In July 2004 Mt Grenfell was only the second reserve in NSW to be handed back to traditional owners and leased back to the NSW Environment Minister to be managed by a board of management under the National Parks and Wildlife Act.
The crowd at the celebrations had travelled from all over NSW as well as interstate
The Mt Grenfell Historic Site is home to some 1,300 rock art paintings, but the importance of the area to the Ngiyampaa people goes much deeper, stretching back thousands of years through dreaming lines and stories handed down through the generations.
The board has managed to achieve some significant gains for both conservation and cultural heritage in the past decade, including leading the way for the acquisition of an adjoining 14,100 hectares to be known as Mount Grenfell National Park and, most recently, bringing the plan of management for both reserves almost to completion.
An exciting new initiative of the board is the commencement of a junior board, members of which took guests on guided walks of the rock art sites during the celebrations. As Colin says, the junior board has been created to keep the spirit alive in our young people.
Celebrations on the day included a plaque unveiling, recognising the occasion, a cake and demonstration workshops of traditional craft including emu egg carving and weaving. Entertainment included talented Indigenous musicians.

Critical collections: why museum collections matter
Alec Coles, Chief Executive Officer, WA Museum
In the digital age, it has been claimed, collections are no longer important: after all, surely we can find what we are looking for on the Web? Alec Coles could not disagree more! In a world where authenticity is at a premium, he believes that collections are a museum’s unique product and museums and their collections have never been more relevant.

The Honey hunters of India
Not the most sustainable practice, but how it's always been done in India, nonetheless...
A family business that specializes in the art of collecting honey from wild hives without the use of gloves, or any other significant protection! Taking down the hive, extracting the honey from it MANUALLY with bare hands and finally selling it to the customers - all of this is shown in the traditional method to get rid of an inconsequential or pesky beehive (depending on how you look at it!), the only way of earning a living for these people.
Active beehive being incinerated to the ground. A honey-collector straddles a large bee-hive on a tree, smokes the bees out of it, with a bucket in one hand and a sickle in the other. He cuts the hive, in sections, to the ground, to be collected by his assistant. The bees scatter in the heat of the moment...
Collecting honey - the traditional way
Apparently the use of pesticides and fertilizers has hit honey-bees badly, so maybe we should change the way honey is extracted in India so that the hives themselves are not destroyed. Maybe commercial apiaries are actually not that bad, as the colonies are not hurt...?
Either way, if honey bees were to disappear, commercial agriculture as we know it today, world-wide, would not survive and human beings would being to starve!
Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin apis, bee) is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives, by humans. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect honey and other products of the hive (including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or bee yard.
Depictions of humans collecting honey from wild bees date to 15,000 years ago, efforts to domesticate them are shown in Egyptian art around 4,500 years ago. Simple hives and smoke were used and honey was stored in jars, some of which were found in the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun. It wasn't until the 18th century that European understanding of the colonies and biology of bees allowed the construction of the moveable comb hive so that honey could be harvested without destroying the entire colony.

Pat Norman Graduate Speech 2014
Graduate Speaker, University of Newcastle Ourimbah Campus, Faculty of Education and Arts 2014
Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Members of the Council, staff of the University, families and friends of graduates, and most importantly graduates of the Bachelors of Teaching Primary, Secondary and Early Childhood programs -- what a thrill it is to speak to a room of people so obviously driven by the care of others.
I want to first say thank you to all who have supported us to get here today, in the audience and beyond. Learning is a difficult process, and we could not have got to this point without you.
It seems customary in graduation speeches to borrow the words of better minds in order to make your own words sound more significant. I am an English teacher, and since all creativity is essentially an act of theft (an idea I have also stolen), perhaps it's best that I begin by quoting Steinbeck:
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
We are gathered together, in a stunning campus on the beautiful Central Coast, because today marks the end of a long apprenticeship as artists of the human mind and spirit. Tomorrow we go out with a piece of paper that says congratulations -- you finished it. Now you are qualified to change the world.
Because whether we realize it or not, that is what we have been studying. From day one, in EDUC1008 for most of us, the message is clear: teachers make a difference (another act of creative theft from Professor John Hattie).
From day one, we learned about learning, and we became better learners ourselves.
From day one, we made friends with our fellow artists, some who are not present today because they have already taken their craft to other places across Australia and the globe.
From day one, we saw in our teachers (many of whom I see here, smiling away as always) that there is a fundamental quality to the teacher-artist that drives their creativity every day: passion.
It is that passion for learning, for teaching, for changing the lives of the people around us for the better that keeps us on a determined path for good.
It is passion that keeps creativity and kindness alive in an aching, pragmatic, indifferent world.
And it is passion that reminds us of the value of our art: that it gives rise to future generations of artists, teachers, engineers, writers, doctors, nurses, mothers, fathers, entertainers, free spirits and so on.
In short, it is the vocation of a teacher to bring to the world all those things that give life meaning.
Human beings gather knowledge much faster than we gather wisdom, and it is my hope for everyone here today that we take our years of accumulated knowledge and apply them to the pursuit of wisdom.
Spreading our knowledge, developing that wisdom, taking our art and using it to create opportunities for young minds -- these are our duties now.
And there are so many who need that opportunity.
There are the children who are living in Tennant Creek or Broken Hill, remote and far from the resources of our wealthy cities.
There are the children sitting in mainstream classes in need of a little extra help to process a mainstream world through their remarkable eyes.
The children whose creativity we need to enable as a community are the kids who can't see with their eyes but who perceive a world of sound and touch in a way more profound and beautiful than we could possibly imagine;
The young Picasso who scribbles on cardboard because his parents can't afford an easel;
The Aboriginal students whose cultural history and communion with our natural environment transcends modern tragic arguments about climate and economy.
Opportunity tends to follow material wealth.
We don't need to focus our attention on giving people with wealth choice - we need to offer opportunity to those children for whom choice is a dream.
Because opportunity doesn't always follow imagination, and imagination is hidden everywhere waiting for us to find it and unlock the next great artist.
The University of Newcastle has given us the key to that lock. We have learned about compassion and care, about challenging young minds and nurturing young souls. We have explored the capacity for education to empower and to transform, and it has empowered and transformed us.
And so on and out we go, ripples in an ocean, each to do nothing less than change the world in our own unique and special way - to meet other ripples, to make waves, to change something or someone. To improve the lives of those we teach.
To borrow the words of Arundhati Roy: another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, if you listen very carefully, you can hear her breathing.
Congratulations, to all graduates. We did it, now let's do this!
