Script.
In the late 60's I attended a boy scout troop just across the road from here and as a result we spent a lot of time playing around this build. Zoro was on tele at the time so there was a lot of sword play up and down the steps.
I assumed that every scout hall had one of these old buildings right next door.
I was wrong.
This little greek temple built in the 1840's it located on a suburban street in a suburb of Hobart and has an vey interesting story to tell.
In 1836 Sir John Franklin arrived in hobart to take up the position of Governor. (yes the famous Arctic explorer) but this story is not about him but his adventurous, highly educated and bold wife Jane.
Jane had married John Franklin at the relatively late age of 36 but she had not spent the previous years idle, rather she had travelled extensively in europe visiting the antiquities and galleries and it has been suggested that she was the best educated English woman of the time.
On arrival she set about lifting the arts and cultural life of hobart as there was no comparison to the galleries of Paris. She visualized a gallery on their estate that they named ancanthe. A little greek folly set in an ideallic picturesque valley.
The greek temple in a suburban street is as peculiar today as it was originally when it was set in the tasmania bush several hours ride from the town itself but is begins to make sense when seen in the context of the time. In the grand estates of england the placement of antiquarian follies in the picturesque landscape and been a fashionable for some time and knowledge of greek and roman art and architecture was celebrated.
Lady Jane procured a design of a greek temple from england along with a wish list of marble sculptures and works of art to display in the gallery.
The building's designer is not known it it may well not have one as the building is so simple.
So whilst the design of the building did not require either skill or experience the carving of these fluted Doric columns required knowledge, skill and considerable experience.
knowledge of the classical orders was the provence of the stone carvers and each order had its particular difficulties. Concave flutes were the most difficult and the person that carved these would have been at the pinnacle of the trade and in high demand.
But the columns have their own story to tell. The antiquarian structures of Greece demonstrate a great variance between buildings but the classical scholars of the 1700's rationalized these into a set of ideals. The doric column, for instance should decrease one sixth of its diameter from one third of its height. This as known as the entasis.
This was loosely followed thorough out the 1700 and into the 1800's but by1840 it was becoming discretionary. These columns do not not have an entasis - their decrease is even over the full height of the columns.
This might suggest that that the works supervisor and or carver were not devotees of classical correctness.
The museum was opened on the 26th of Oct 1843 and included items of natural history and and library.
However at the time Sir John Franklin's tenure as governor had come to an end and the ancanthe estate, that included the museum, was being placed into the hands of a trustee as part of the Christ College the Franklins also. established.
Sir John and Lady Jane Franklin both clearly had a vision that went far beyond Tasmania. Jane could see the possibilities of art, culture and universal eduction while John imagined a whole world waiting to be explored and a North West Passage to found.
However, what they established had to remain in the world of petty small town jealousy and politics and not long after their departure the collections were split up with the building used as an apple shed for the next fifty years.
Lady Jane Franklin established a museum to bring arts and culture to the far side of the world. She would not be the last to attempt this.

Early Settlement and Museum, Hobart
Following an earlier attempt at setting up the camp on the other side of the river, in 1804 David Collins picked this site, now adjacent to the Museum, to establish his new settlement that he called Hobart Town. There was a creek to provide water and the land was readily accessible from the sheltered waters of the river Derwent. There was a small island known as Hunter Island just offshore connected by a narrow strip of land which flooded at high tide.

British makers on board the Rajah en route to Hobart
'The Rajah quilt' 1841
Gift of Les Hollings and the Australian Textiles Fund 1989
In 1816, Elizabeth Fry, concerned by the plight of women prisoners in gaol and during transportation, formed the Quaker group, The British Ladies Society for the Reformation of Female Prisoners. One of the many improvements that the Society implemented was to offer prisoners useful tasks such as needlecraft to keep them occupied during incarceration. Prisoners were given sewing supplies, which included 10 yards of fabric, 100 needles, threads, pins and scissors.
These provisions were carried by the 180 women prisoners on board the Rajah as it set sail from Woolwich, England on 5 April 1841 bound for Van Dieman's Land. When the Rajah arrived in Hobart on 19 July 1841, Governor Franklin's wife was presented with an inscribed patchwork, embroidered and appliquéd coverlet: the Rajah quilt.
A fine cross-stitch inscription on the lower border declares the quilt was made by the prisoners for 'The British Ladies Society' in gratitude for their kindness. This testimony was unusual as most items made were kept by the women or sold en route.
Several different women with varying sewing skills produced the Rajah quilt. The 2,815 fabric pieces of the quilt are joined in the medallion or framed quilt style popular in the late 18th century in England and Ireland. The central field (and the area surrounding the inscription) is decorated with broderie perse orappliqué chintz. This is bordered by eight rows of patchwork in printed cottons, which showcase the fashion and changes in the textile printing industry at the time.
The Rajah quilt is a work not only of great historical significance but also of visual symmetry and elegance, an important example of Australian women's art of the 19th century.

What's hiding in Franklin Square?
In this episode I explore Franklin Square Hobart Tasmania. It's history, the Franklins and I find some interesting and difficult things.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should note the warning prior to viewing as there is some disturbing history hiding in Franklin Square.
Forgotten Tasmania shares the wonder of Tasmania with the world.
We are Tasmanian, these are our stories.
John Watt Beattie left a legacy. He started a passion for Tasmania that is still burning more than one hundred years after his death. His photographic collection gives us a view of Tasmania’s wilderness, industry, our people, both those that arrived in the last 200 years and those that were here before; our indigenous, convict and colonial ancestors.
These photographs are an extraordinary window into our past, they can take us back in time
and show us how things have stayed the same or changed with the ebb and flow of history.

SUMMARY
=======
The Colony of Tasmania (more commonly referred to simply as Tasmania) was a British colony that existed on the island of Tasmania from 1856 until 1901, when it federated together with the five other Australian colonies to form the Commonwealth of Australia. The possibility of the colony was established when the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the Australian Constitutions Act in 1850, granting the right of legislative power to each of the six Australian colonies. The Legislative Council of Van Diemen's Land drafted a new constitution which they passed in 1854, and it was given Royal Assent by Queen Victoria in 1855. Later in that year the Privy Council approved the colony changing its name from Van Diemen's Land to Tasmania, and in 1856, the newly elected bicameral parliament of Tasmania sat for the first time, establishing Tasmania as a self-governing colony of the British Empire. Tasmania was often referred to as one of the most British colonies of the Empire.
The Colony suffered from economic fluctuations, but for the most part was prosperous, experiencing steady growth. With few external threats and strong trade links with the Empire, the Colony of Tasmania enjoyed many fruitful periods in the late nineteenth century, becoming a world-centre of shipbuilding. It raised a local defence force which eventually played a significant role in the Second Boer War in South Africa, and Tasmanian soldiers in that conflict won the first two Victoria Crosses won by Australians. Tasmanians voted in favour of federation with the largest majority of all the Australian colonies, and on 1 January 1901, the Colony of Tasmania, became the Australian state of Tasmania.

SUMMARY
=======
A hippie (sometimes spelled hippy) is a member of the counterculture of the 1960s, originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the mid-1960s and spread to other countries around the world. The word hippie came from hipster and used to describe beatniks who moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The term hippie first found popularity in San Francisco with Herb Caen, who was a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle.
The origins of the terms hip and hep are uncertain. By the 1940s, both had become part of African American jive slang and meant sophisticated; currently fashionable; fully up-to-date. The Beats adopted the term hip, and early hippies inherited the language and countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Hippies created their own communities, listened to psychedelic music, embraced the sexual revolution, and many used drugs such as marijuana, LSD, peyote and psilocybin mushrooms to explore altered states of consciousness.
In 1967, the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, popularized hippie culture, leading to the Summer of Love on the West Coast of the United States, and the 1969 Woodstock Festival on the East Coast. Hippies in Mexico, known as jipitecas, formed La Onda and gathered at Avándaro, while in New Zealand, nomadic housetruckers practiced alternative lifestyles and promoted sustainable energy at Nambassa. In the United Kingdom in 1970, many gathered at the gigantic Isle of Wight Festival with a crowd of around 400,000 people. In later years, mobile peace convoys of New Age travelers made summer pilgrimages to free music festivals at Stonehenge and elsewhere. In Australia, hippies gathered at Nimbin for the 1973 Aquarius Festival and the annual Cannabis Law Reform Rally or MardiGrass. Piedra Roja Festival, a major hippie event in Chile, was held in 1970. Hippie and psychedelic culture influenced 1960s and early 1970s young culture in Iron Curtain countries in Eastern Europe (see Mánička).Hippie fashion and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the 1960s, mainstream society has assimilated many aspects of hippie culture. The religious and cultural diversity the hippies espoused has gained widespread acceptance, and Eastern philosophy and spiritual concepts have reached a larger audience.

Tasmania (abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as Tassie; /tæzˈmeɪniə/) is an island state, part of the Commonwealth of Australia, located 240 kilometres (150 mi) to the south of the Australian continent, separated by Bass Strait. The state includes the island of Tasmania, the 26th largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands.

Tasmania is promoted as the natural state, and A World Apart, Not A World Away owing to its large and relatively unspoiled natural environment. Almost 45% of Tasmania lies in reserves, national parks and World Heritage Sites. The island is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long from its northernmost to its southernmost points, and 306 kilometres (190 mi) from east to west.

SUMMARY
=======
Tasmania (; abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as Tassie) is an island state of Australia. It is located 240 km (150 mi) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by the Bass Strait. The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the 26th-largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state has a population of around 526,700 as of March 2018. Just over forty percent of the population resides in the Greater Hobart precinct, which forms the metropolitan area of the state capital and largest city, Hobart.Tasmania's area is 68,401 km2 (26,410 sq mi), of which the main island covers 64,519 km2 (24,911 sq mi). It is promoted as a natural state, and protected areas of Tasmania cover about 42% of its land area, which includes national parks and World Heritage Sites. Tasmania was the founding place of the first environmental party in the world.Due to an administrative quirk caused by an early mapping error, the state of Tasmania shares a tiny land border with the state of Victoria. This 85 metres (279 ft) line bisects Boundary Islet, a nature reserve in the Bass Strait, separating the northernmost land governed by Tasmania from the southernmost land governed by Victoria. The Bishop and Clerk Islets, about 37 km south of Macquarie Island, are the southernmost terrestrial point of the state of Tasmania, and the southernmost internationally recognised land in Australia. About 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) south of Tasmania island lies Antarctica, which is nearer than areas in the northern Australian mainland.
The island is believed to have been occupied by indigenous peoples for 30,000 years before British colonisation. It is thought Aboriginal Tasmanians were separated from the mainland Aboriginal groups about 10,000 years ago when the sea rose to form the Bass Strait. The Aboriginal population was estimated to have been between 3,000 and 7,000 at the time of colonisation, but was almost wiped out within 30 years by a combination of violent guerrilla conflict with settlers known as the Black War, intertribal conflict, and from the late 1820s, the spread of infectious diseases to which they had no immunity. The conflict, which peaked between 1825 and 1831 and led to more than three years of martial law, cost the lives of almost 1100 Aboriginals and settlers. The near-destruction of Tasmania's Aboriginal population has been described by some historians as an act of genocide by the British.
The island was permanently settled by Europeans in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire to prevent claims to the land by the First French Empire during the Napoleonic Wars; around 75,000 convicts were sent to Van Diemen's Land before transportation ceased in 1853. The island was initially part of the Colony of New South Wales but became a separate, self-governing colony under the name Van Diemen's Land (named after Anthony van Diemen) in 1825. In 1854 the present Constitution of Tasmania was passed and the following year the colony received permission to change its name to Tasmania. In 1901 it became a state through the process of the Federation of Australia.
