Letters Between Hans and Nora Heysen - Talking History Summer Series

This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. Hans Heysen and Nora Heysen are Australia’s most well-known father-daughter artistic duo. In this episode, Professor Speck explores the letters written to each other from the time Nora moved to London in 1934 until Hans Heysen died in 1968. During that time Nora Heysen won the Archibald Prize, was appointed an official war artist, fell in love with a married man, Robert Black, with whom she lived with and eventually married, relocated to Sydney, and travelled extensively to the Pacific. Hans Heysen was knighted, sat on the board of the National Art Gallery of South Australia and was connected to leading figures in the Australian art world. The letters take readers into these events, life at The Cedars, Sallie Heysen’s role there, and the art itself.

Elephants and Egotists - Talking History Summer Series

Warning: This episode contains graphic depictions of animal cruelty. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. Samorn, the Adelaide Zoo's last elephant, was adored by generations of zoo visitors. When she died, there was an outpouring of sadness from all who knew or grew up with her. Elephants and Egotists is a tribute to Samorn, but also tells of other elephants sent to South Australia and the colourful characters who decided their fate. Elephants, particularly those in Southeast Asia, are now a critically endangered species needing our concern and immediate action. As Sir David Attenborough asks: 'The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?'

Mary Lee - Talking History Summer Series

This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. In 1894, South Australia granted women the dual right to vote and become elected members of parliament, thanks in no small part to the indomitable Mary Lee. Her unwavering pursuit for social justice and remarkable legacy is revealed as we follow the trajectory of her life from Ireland to Adelaide. The disappearance of Mary Lee’s journals and most of her letters, along with a dearth of recorded women’s history, kept her contribution to history hidden for more than 125 years. Undeterred, author Denise George travelled to Ireland and her painstaking examination of local records both there and in Adelaide revealed the compelling story of a woman who took on the Establishment, and won. Music in this episode courtesy of: Artist: Axletree | Track: Frost on the Meadows at Dawn Artist: Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) | Track: Lone Harvest
