Enoggera<\/em>, before being hustled off for a tour of the BHP steelworks and then to a function in King Edward Park. As if that wasn’t enough, he then had to go by train to Toronto for more celebrations. He spent the night at the Lakeside resort before heading back to Sydney next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBecause the demands from various localities for some princely involvement, a number of officers from HMS Renown stepped up to act as substitutes when the itinerary simply couldn’t accommodate a visit by the prince himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Port Stephens, for example, had a visit from some of the men from the Renown, and the visit is described in a scarce publication, With the Renown in Australasia.<\/em> The publication states that the visit was largely urged by the president of the British Service Association (Australia), Mr Daniel Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe armed sloop Fantome<\/em> in Newcastle in 1921.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPresent in Port Stephens at the time of the visit was the armed sloop, Fantome<\/em>, and the officers exchanged greetings with the men of that ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to the account in this publication, Lt John de C. Richards and midshipmen C.J. Skrine, J.B. Somerset and W.F. Hollins “left the Central Railway Station, Sydney, at 8 a.m. on June 21, and were joined at Hornsby by their host and hostesses, all arriving at Newcastle at 11.35 am, just in time to catch the Port Stephens Passenger Agency’s public char-a-banc for Salt Ash, via Stockton”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first object of interest that was pointed out to the party was the Chelmsford Seamen’s Institute (the Missions to Seamen), directed by the Rev. W. Forster Haire, RANB, and the Rev. H. K. Vickery, assisted by a patriotic voluntary committee, to all of whom our best wishes were conveyed by our host. Passing along the road, excellent views were obtained of the Walsh Island Shipbuilding Works and the Broken Hill Company’s Steel Works at Port Waratah, which promise to become of colossal dimensions in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAt 2 p.m. the party boarded the S.S. Reliance, which passed down Tilligherry Creek into the inner Port Stephens harbour at 3pm and at about 3.30 one of the finest sights in Australia – namely, of Port Stephens inner and outer harbours, from abreast of Middle Island – was unfolded.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere is no town of Port Stephens, but several have been laid out on the shores of this wonderful harbour. Salt Ash, near the head of Tilligherry Creek, is the nearest point to Newcastle, and consists only of an accommodation-house and a few farmers’ dwellings. It is the point of despatch for mails for Nelson’s Bay, Pindimar and Tea Gardens, and is a useful jumping-off point for a description of the place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Ocean View boarding house at Nelson Bay, circa 1913<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOur party stayed at Mrs Lund’s boarding-house, Ocean View, Nelson’s Bay, where the accommodation, cooking and attendance are quite equal to that of many better-known residentials at English and French seaside resorts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the following morning the party put off in Asquith’s launch, for Myall Lake, in quest of wild duck and coot. En route we passed Sir Allen Taylor and Company’s sawmill at Windy Whoppa, also Tea Gardens, where freshly-picked oysters were ordered, ”to be called for” on our return from the lake.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter three hours’ journey up the Myall River we entered the lake, which was literally alive with wild duck and coot. The birds kept just beyond the range of our 12-hores until we reached the mouth of Dirty Creek, where Skrine and Hollins took the port and Richards and Somerset the starboard ranges, and in a few minutes shot 10 brace of coot. We then put ashore for lunch, all hands gathering the wood to make a bush fire, on which the billy was boiled and tea made. Nothing could have been more acceptable than the billy tea, the edibles provided by Mrs Lund, and the shelter of a giant ti-tree from the pouring rain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter lunch several wild swan and duck were seen; but in the absence of a dinghy it was not possible to get near enough to shoot either variety, so the launch was headed for Port Stephens, through flocks of coot and wild duck. Midway between the lake and Tea Gardens a flight of flying-foxes passed over the launch, and four were brought down. The number of cormorants and pelicans seen added to the astonishment of all present, who were sorry when darkness followed a most interesting day’s sport.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn June 24, the Officers of HMS Renown, accompanied by Mr and Mrs D Grove and the Misses Grove, visited the Karuah Aborigines’ School. On arrival a warm reception was accorded them by Mrs Longworth, Miss H. Ferguson (teacher in charge), Miss New, and the aborigines and missionaries. The national anthem was sung by the children, and The Allies’ Flag, Rule, Britannia, and For They Are Jolly Good Fellows, followed by hearty cheers for His Majesty King George, the Prince of Wales, and visitors. Souvenirs were then presented to the Officers by the native children, which included basket work and models, which they make at school. The Officers then expressed their appreciation of the loyal welcome they had received, and said the fact would be mentioned to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales when they joined the Renown. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMrs Longworth thanked the Officers and Mr and Mrs and the Misses Grove for accepting the invitation of Miss H. Ferguson and visiting the aborigines, and also, in a few well-chosen words, assured the visitors of the loyalty of Queen Charlotte and her respective descendants, who reside on the Aborigines’ Reserve at Karuah, to the British Throne. After which refreshments were served in the native church, which was kindly lent by the missionaries, and tastily decorated, under the direction of Miss Ferguson, by the aborigines, for the occasion. After this ceremony the Officers proceeded in Mr. Longworth’s launch on a shooting expedition, returning to Karuah at 6 P.m. They were entertained at tea by Mrs Longworth, and left by car for Newcastle, en route to Sydney, to join the Renown. – The Raymond Terrace Examiner, July 9, 1920.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe shooting trip yielded eight brace of black swan, every one present bagging his quota.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMore about Daniel Grove<\/h1>\n\n\n\n The same publication also includes some information about Daniel Grove, who is said to have helped arrange the visit of the officers to Port Stephens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Grove has been a pioneer of Empire in many parts of the world, but notably in the Malay States, where he traced and mapped the River<\/em> Kerling to its source, and later in South and East Africa, where he was a contemporary and confidant of the late Cecil Rhodes and the late General Louis Botha. He took two expeditions into the Angosche District of the Province of Mozambique in 1895 and 1902, and successfully induced the Makua native chiefs and headmen to give their written adhesion to the terms of the Anglo-Portuguese Convention of July, 1891, in so far as native rights were affected, thus accomplishing that which was regarded as an impossible task without losing a single life or having to fire a shot. In 1897 he personally represented to Lord Salisbury the need for extending to all British subjects, resident in foreign countries, an equality of consular status, through which representations the man from Montreal, Melbourne, or Capetown, sojourning in Lisbon, or Paris, is now enabled to obtain consular assistance and passports by simply being identified and recommended by his High Commissioner or Agent-General in London to the Imperial Foreign Office. He was elected a Fellow of the Geographical Society, Lisbon, and is a Life Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute. He has done much good work since in a constant endeavour to keep the Empire and all it means in the public eye. Mr Grove was born in New Zealand in 1868, his father having been a member of the Provincial Council of that Dominion, and his wife a descendant of an old Huguenot family. Their only son was in the Australian Forces during the war, and was killed in action. Mr. Grove’s present work with the British Service Association is a fitting monument to his son’s memory, and cannot fail to be of benefit to the Empire and to Australia.for him. He was instrumental in arranging the introduction of Queen Charlotte of the Karuah (Port Stephens) aborigines to the Prince of Wales.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nKing Billy Ridgeway<\/h1>\n\n\n\n The following notes, written by Mr Grove, are also included in the publication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
King Billy Ridgeway, aged 52, a religiously disposed native, who, with his wife and children lived decently and respectably at Karuah, Port Stephens, told me that he was a direct descendant of the native King upon whom Sir Edward Parry conferred the brass-plate engraved ”Boatswain, King of South Head, Port Stephens and Nelson’s Bay,” which symbol of authority his widow, Queen Charlotte, holds today.deplored the fact that no Australian writer had taken the trouble to trace whence the aborigines came or migrated. He invited me to do so.<\/em> Let me briefly reproduce King Billy’s own story of the moral laws and customs observed by Ghatang-speaking Australian aboriginals from time immemorial.<\/em>”Our mothers,” proceeded King Billy, ”have the moral and spiritual care of the girls. The young boys are allowed to mix with the girls until they reach the age of twelve years, whereupon they are called Warran or probationary celibates, and are placed under the strict control of the male elders until they reach the age of eighteen years.”<\/em>The probationers are then invited to a dance, called a coroboree or ringbalin, and if they comport themselves to the satisfaction of the onlooking elders, they are given permission to move freely among the womenfolk and to choose their brides, but if they misbehave towards their partners or others looking on at the dance, they are then reproved by the elders and compelled to wait three years more for the privilege of mixing with the womenfolk and exercising their rights of manhood.<\/em>The girls continue to live under parental or the elders’ control until they marry or die. Polygamy is unknown amongst Australian natives, their law being one man, one wife, and tribal community of property, thus providing for children and the aged members of the tribe. Native marriages are regarded as spiritual unions, requiring no legal or formal registration to satisfy native laws, but out of respect to State law, and in conformityThen again, the tribal care for illegitimate children is a humane solution of humanity’s greatest social obligation, and admits of no religious or civic objection. I have here specially to thank Mr J. S. Strong, of HM Australian Trade Commissioner’s Office: Mr F. Phillips, of Pindimar; Mr and Mrs F.E. Arnold, of Sydney; and the Rev. Bostock Jones, for their kind presence during my visits, made primarily with the object of ascertaining if the natives had any complaints. There were none.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Karuah School<\/h1>\n\n\n\n I was much impressed when the children, to the accompaniment of music produced by blowing against gum-leaves, sang Advance Australia Fair, The Star Spangled Banner, The Marsellaise, Rule Britannia, The Hundredth Psalm, Home, Sweet Home and our National Anthem. Miss Ferguson, their present teacher, has since taught them to sing God Bless the Prince of Wales, and it is largely due to that lady’s enthusiasm for their welfare, coupled with the interest taken in them by the Aborigines Protection Board, influenced by the generous encouragement of His Excellency Sir Walter E. Davidson, equally with ourselves, that I have resolved to testify thus publicly to their splendid fidelity to the British Throne.<\/em>Nor is it right to omit reference to the etymological significance of the Ghatang words coroboree and ringbalin, since in English the word corroborate denotes confirmation by more than one, while our dances, especially certain sets in the Lancers, when all link hands, may easily be imagined as having been evolved from the primitive Ring-Ball.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo read more about Prince Edward’s 1920 visit to Australia, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales and (briefly) future King of England visited Australia in 1920, cities and towns across the nation vied fiercely for a piece of the royal action.
