Celebrating the Early History of Newcastle (Australia)
On Friday 26th October 2012 a public announcement was made by Dr Alex Byrne of the NSW State Library, that historic treasures of early Newcastle would make their return to the City for the first time in 195 years.
The forthcoming Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era Exhibition, scheduled for 2 March to 5 May 2013, will see the return of the Macquarie Collector's Chest, Wallis Album and Edward Charles Close Panorama, among many other artistic and historic treasures created in Newcastle almost two centuries ago. The treasures are of immense significance to the people of Newcastle and the Hunter Region, and also of national and international significance in terms of the cultural evolution of the Australian people.
For further info on early history of Newcastle see:
Unveiling the Wallis Album - Newcastle (Australia) - 20 February 2012
On the 20th February 2012 a ceremony was held at the Newcastle Art Gallery to unveil the Wallis Album.
The Wallis Album is a personal copy of a printed book by Captain James Wallis, supplemented with extra paintings, sketches and annotations relating to the Aboriginal people in Newcastle, as well as the flora and fauna of the area including a sketch of Throsby Creek. Captain Wallis was Commandant of the Newcastle penal settlement from June 1816 to December 1818. This work was given to his wife, and represents not only his love for his wife, but also of Newcastle and the Hunter Region. It is quite unique.
The printed work is entitled: An historical account of the colony of New South Wales and its dependent settlements : in illustration of twelve views / engraved by W. Preston from drawings taken on the spot by Captain Wallis. To which is subjoined An accurate map of Port Macquarie and the newly discovered River Hastings / by J. Oxley
London : Printed for R. Ackermann by J. Moyes, 1821
see:
This Album is one of the most significant collections of convict-era artworks ever discovered, was unveiled to the public for the first time at Newcastle Art Gallery in the city in which it was created.
Richard Neville, Mitchell Librarian said that the album had been kept in a cupboard in Canada by a Wallis descendant.
''One could see immediately how important [the album was] and how vital it was to purchase it,'' Mr Neville said. ''The last time the album was in Australia was on the third of March, 1819, when Captain Wallis put it in a ship and took it back to England.''
The NSW State Library bought the album at auction for $1.8 million.
Arts Minister George Souris said it was important to bring the album back to where most of its works were created.
Gallery director Ron Ramsey described the album as a treasure ''greater than the jewels of Elizabeth Taylor and so much cheaper''.

The second largest city in the state of NSW and sixth largest in Australia, Newcastle city had a population of 153,000 in 2008 and the suburban area had over 500,000. The city is the focal point for a diverse district that encompasses beaches and mountains, restaurants and wineries.
Newcastle is Australia's oldest sea port, currently the second most important in the country in terms of overall tonnage. It is also the world's largest coal exporter.The city of Newcastle is the hub for exploring the many activities and sights that surround the city. In the north is Stockton beach, miles and miles of uninhabited beaches that stretch up to Nelson bay. The wreck of the Sygna can be seen from Fort Scratchley, which was Newcastle's maritime defence during the world wars. Travel westward to the wineries and taste some of Australia's best wines. Barrington Tops National Park in the north west has beautiful fresh water rivers and rain forests, a good place to spot a platypus. Newcastle is a great place for surfers, wine buffs, bush walkers, and anyone interested in Australian history.
Since the closure of the BHP steelworks, Hunter New England Health and The University of Newcastle have become the city's primary employers. Many Novocastrians take an avid interest in sports, as participants, spectators or both. The local NRL Rugby League team, the Newcastle Knights are widely followed. Newcastle also hosts soccer, baseball, ice hockey, netball and various other sporting teams.
Unlike Sydney buses, Newcastle buses operate using time-based fares. You buy a ticket which is valid for 1hr, 4hrs or 24hrs. You can catch as many buses as you like until your ticket expires. If you are still on a bus when your ticket expires you can stay on that same bus for as long as you like but you can't board another bus. Most of the city's restaurants and cafés can be found along the two main eatery strips: Beaumont Street in Hamilton, and Darby Street in Cooks Hill. Newcastle holds a variety of cultural events and festivals.
The Newcastle Regional Show is held in the Newcastle Showground annually. There are a mixture of typical regional show elements such as woodchopping displays, showbags, rides and stalls and usually fireworks to complement the events in the main arena. The Mattara festival, founded in 1961, is the official festival of Newcastle with a more traditional 'country fair' type program that combines a parade, rides, sporting events, band competitions and portrait and landscape painting exhibitions.
