Great war stories: Rusi's fallen members / Walford, Garth Neville VC; Spearman, Alexander RN   Article
Walford, Garth Neville VC Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract As the Great War entered 1915, the stalemate continued unabated on the Western Front. In an attempt to force the Central Powers’ hand, Winston Churchill – then First Lord of the Admiralty – developed plans to drive the Ottomans out of the war and, potentially, to bring Greece and Bulgaria in on the side of the Allies. He proposed a naval attack on the Dardanelles, which would expose Istanbul and open up a supply route with Russia.

Making connections: hearing and sharing Macassan-Yolηu stories / Bilous, Rebecca H   Article
Bilous, Rebecca H Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Yolŋu people living in northeast Arnhem Land regularly celebrate their connections with the Macassan trepangers from Indonesian Sulawesi in storytelling, art and music. The history of this contact is well known in academic literature, and these stories of Macassan contact are told regularly by Yolŋu people to tourists visiting northeast Arnhem Land. This paper explores the impact that hearing stories about the Macassans from one Yolŋu family's tourism business had on a group of Australian Indonesian language teachers, visiting as part of an Endeavour Language Teaching Fellowship. It draws on ideas related to telling and hearing stories and argues that these particular stories enabled the teachers to make powerful connections: with each other and with Australia's histories and geographies. The paper also explores the ways in which the teachers went on to become storytellers themselves, using stories to make connections in their students' learning.
