Extractions: About the RBA Statistics Speeches Media Releases ... Contact Us Journalist, social and political reformer, novelist and feminist. Spence was born in Melrose, Scotland, in 1825. She emigrated to South Australia at the age of 14 with her parents and siblings and initially worked as a governess and briefly ran a small private school. Nurturing literary ambitions since childhood, in her mid-twenties Spence began occasional paid journalism, a career which became long and distinguished. Her clear, wide-ranging articles were mainly on literature, politics and social issues. She is credited as the first woman novelist in Australia to portray antipodean issues with the publication in 1854 of her first novel, Clara Morison: A Tale of South Australia During the Gold Fever . The plots and characters of this novel and subsequent ones drew on her own experiences and circle of associates. An advocate of public education, in 1877 she was appointed to a local school board and supported the establishment in 1879 of the first government secondary school, the Advanced School for Girls. A year later, the South Australian Education Department published her book The Laws We Live Under Catherine Helen Spence died on 3 April 1910 in Norwood, Adelaide, while working on her autobiography, published posthumously later that year. She never married.

Extractions: Sir Henry Parkes was described during his lifetime by The Times of London as the most commanding figure in Australian politics. He was a political survivor, evidenced by the fact that he was premier of colonial New South Wales five times between 1872 and 1891. His political life spanned the second half of the nineteenth century, from the establishment of responsible self government in 1856, which was followed by the era of faction politics characterised by shifting alliances, through to the advent of the party system. He was knighted in 1877. Born in Warwickshire, England, in 1815, Parkes became a bone and ivory turner, a skilled artisan, and emigrated to New South Wales in 1839. He drifted into journalism after fitful progress in his trade. His literary and political writings belied his lack of formal education. While in England he had taken up the cause of political radicalism and coming to the colony continued his interest in politics. He campaigned for universal male suffrage and in 1848 played a prominent role in the campaign against the resumption of convict transportation to New South Wales. From 1850 to 1858 he was editor and proprietor of The Empire newspaper, an organ of liberal opinion.

Held on Saturday 17th. and Sunday 18th. March at the Derwent Entertainment Centre in Glenorchy near Hobart, the Australian Numismatic Dealers Association (ANDA) show was welcomed by many numismatically starved Tasmanians who travelled from many out of Hobart locations to attend during the two days it was in progress. The presence of the Perth Mint, which had issued the Tasmanian state tribute Holey Dollar, and the Royal Australian Mint with several new releases, attracted a constant stream of visitors as did an old friends John Pettit and Tony James with their marvellous collection of exquisite top-of-the-range banknotes. As a poor but avid banknote collector, amongst other things, I had no option - like many others - but to drool as I shuffled through box after box of their beautiful pieces of paper.
