Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, New Zealand album

Date: [ca 1873-1875]

By: Gaul, John, -1876; Lindt, John William, 1845-1926

Reference: PA1-q-330

Description: Includes views New Zealand, Pacific and Australia, including images of indigenous houses and plantations, and a series of 12 studio tableau portraits of Aboriginal Australians, taken by John William Lindt in 1873-1874. Kai Colo (Fijian people) - name for the people who live in the mountainous interior of Fiji. It's literal meaning is something like "mountaineer". This information was given by Dr Vicki Lukere (Luker), specialist in South Pacific history, Victoria University, 1997. A series of 12 studio tableau portraits of Aboriginal Australians by John Wiiliam Lindt, including three not found in this album, are at Library reference PA1-q-1317 Quantity: 1 album(s). Physical Description: Photograph album. Provenance: Written comments in the album indicate that it might be associated with Commodore J Goodenough RN, who was appointed as a commissioner by the Crown to investigate the events that led to the annexation of Fiji. This album was compiled by an unidentified member of the Australian Division of the Royal Navy based at Sydney in the mid 1870s. The Australian Naval Station was responsible for policing the Pacific and supporting Britain's interests in the region. The one date associated with the album (1875) as well as some of the images, suggest that it was compiled soon after the cession of Fiji to the British Crown. The two ships associated with the album, HMS Blanche and HMS Pearl, were both stationed at Sydney and both were involved with events in Fiji before and during cession. HMS Pearl was Commodore Goodenough's flagship. He was the officer in charge of the Australian Naval Station at that time. He also played an important political role in the process of cession in Fiji. In the album he and his officers are shown swimming on Ovalau. The compiler of the album on the other hand, seems to have been personally associated with HMS Blanche. There are two pictures of this ship in the album as well as pictures of memorials erected by the captain and crew to one of their members. HMS Blanche had been active against the traffic in cheap labour in the South Pacific. In 1873 her paymaster, Lieutenant Nettleton, had acted as temporary British Consul in Fiji after the recall of E B March.

Capewell, E H/Hendry, K A :World War 1939-1945 photographs

Date: 1930s-1945

By: Capewell, Edward Hugo, -1943; Hendry, Kenneth Arthur, 1915-1996

Reference: PAColl-5645

Description: Family photographs and views of Fiji, Canada and the Middle East during World War 1939-1945. The photographs of Canada are negatives, and all relate to the RAF Commonwealth air training programme. There are views of Halifax and the ANZAC Club there. Others are of Montreal and New York. There are photographs of soldiers, planes and countryside taken from the air. Then it's off to Britain, views of London, English countryside and active service. One sequence of negatives records a trip to the Middle East. The Fijian photographs are prints taken by a member of the 30th Battalion, that part of the New Zealand army in Fiji sent directly to Lautoka on the west coast of Viti Levu, and stationed at the Namaka Camp, about 17 miles inland from Lautoka. There are views of Namaka Camp, of camp life, of recreations, work, manoeuvres, and the effects of the hurricane that hit Fiji on the 20th Feb, 1941. There are also views of a camp at a place called Comboni (pronounced "thomboni") which is a coastal tourist spot and beach on the western end of the northern coast of Viti Levu towards the Ba River mouth. There is one photograph of a military camp made up of tents at Momi Bay on the west coast of Viti Levu, south of Lautoka. There are views of Suva and an ANZAC Day parade there as well as images of Fijians, villages, Fijian buildings and the country side in general. After his tour of duty in Fiji the creator of this collection was sent to the Middle East. The family photographs date from the 1930s. The largest group of these are records of the New Zealand contingent at the Australian Boy Scout Jamboree held at Frankston, Melbourne, from 27 December 1934 to 13 January 1935. The New Zealand contingent constructed a "Maori Pa" and dressed up in Maori costume. There are 18 prints of this feature of the New Zealand contribution to the jamboree. Arrangement: Negatives at 35 mm 22145 to 22228, and 1/4-81170-F to 1/4-81202-F This collection comes from two different sources. The negatives of Canada are associated with the name of Sergeant E H Capewell (also apparently known as \"Stormy Capewell\"). Those of the New Zealand army in Fiji and the rest of the photographic prints in the collection belonged to Private K A Hendry who came from Dannevirk before the war, and left Trentham camp for Fiji as a member of a field ambulance team. There is also an envelope dated 1943 addressed to him at the General NZ Hospital, 2nd N Z E F, Middle East Forces. During the Second World War New Zealand was responsable for raising forces and organising the defense of Fiji against possible Japanese attack. Brigadier W H Cunningham was put in command and the 8 Infantry Brigade Group was organsed for the operation. The defense strategy centred on the island of Viti Levu. Of the two areas designated as critical one centred on Suva and it's hinterland, and the other in the west centred on Lautoka. In late 1940 the 8 Infantry Brigade Group was transported to Fiji on the Rangitira escorted by the Monowai. It took three trips to effect this and the first troops landed in Fiji on 1 November 1940. The 30th Battalion was that section of the 8 Infantry Brigade Group sent directly to Lautoka on the West coast of Viti Levu. It's main base was Namaka camp inland From Lautoka and linked to the coast by the Colonial Sugar Company's railway. Another camp at Momi Bay, south of Lautoka guarded the Navula passage through the reef off Momi. There was also a temporary camp at a resort beach called Comboni, north of Lautoka. The rest of the 8 Infantry Brigade Group went to Suva which was also the location of the command headquarters. During the organisation of the 8 Infantry Brigade Group troops were assembled at the military camps at Ngaruawahia, Te Rapa, and Trentham. Those at Trentham were support services -- the 7 Field Ambulance, and details such as Pay, Records, Ordnance, Provost and Signals. Private K A Hendry was part of the Trentham operations and evidence suggests that he was a member of the 7 Field Ambulance. The Australian Boy Scout Jamboree held at Frankston, Melbourne, was the first international scouting event held outside the United Kingdom. Over 12,000 scouts from 23 countries attended, and it was the only scouting event held in Australia attended by Lord Robert Baden-Powell (who with his wife, features in two of the prints relating to this event).

Jacques, James Anthony, 1901?-1987 :Slides of family, friends, holidays and world trips

Date: [ca 1950-1975]

By: Jacques, James Anthony, 1901-1987; James, Frances M, active 1967-1988

Reference: PA-Group-00239

Description: Slides from ca 1950 to 1960 are mostly local, or of different parts of New Zealand. They include views of Wellington and the Hutt Valley, picnics, race meetings, children Fran and Jen and wife Gret, home, the garden, pets, family cars and the cars of friends, friends and the families of friends, weddings, collegues of J A Jacques at Colgate-Palmolive Limited and of his office there, a sequence of slides taken at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second, the Royal Tour of 1953/53, Gret and the Girls dressed up for a Royal Garden Party, ships such as the Pamir and the Wanganella, the opening of the Wellington International Airport, and views taken on holidays in many parts of the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The greatest number of slides record holidays taken outside New Zealand. These start about 1954 when the family went to Norfolk Island for a holiday. In 1955 Jacques and his family embarked on the first of the world trips. For Jacques, the first part of this seems to have been to Hawaii with work collegues or friends, then through parts of Canada and the United States on the way to London where he joined his wife and daughters for a tour of England, Scotland, Belgium, the Nethelands, and Paris, returning to New Zealand via the Panama Canal. In 1956 the youngest daughter, Jen, left for Australia, and soon afterwards Australia becomes a frequent destination for Jacques and his wife periodically throughout the sequence. By 1959 both daughters are living in Australia. Between 1956 and 1959 Jacques and his wife make two more trips to Norfolk Island In 1959 they are on board the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt out of Auckland for a Pacific cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia and Sydney. Later in 1959/60 they are on the move again in this region. This time on the Orsova to Sydney, Suva, and Tonga. In early 1961 Jacques and his wife are on a cruise of the northern Pacific which includes Sydney, Japan, Alaska, Vancover, Seattle, San Fransisco, and back to Sydney. By 1962 J A Jacques must have retired. That year he and his wife started out on a world trip that took them out of New Zealand for over a year. They left on the Himalaya for Canada via Sydney, Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii. The hard tourist work began in Canada and from there they went to Britian, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, then back for another go at England. From England they went to Ireland, Portugal and took a cruise to Brazil and Uruguay. Then back to Lisbon and London en route for Denmark and Sweden. They returned to London in time for Christmas 1963, and in 1964 they returned home via the Suez Canal. Their third world trip took place in 1965 and included Britain, Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, the Caribbean, and Turkey. In 1966 they went to Canada and made an extensive tour of the United States. In 1968 they went on a trip that included an extensive tour of Australia and from there to Hong Kong and the Philippines. The last trip made by J A Jacques and his wife was in 1970. It included Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan and Japan for the Osaka International Exhibition Source of title - Title supplied by Library Arrangement: Transparencies housed at PA12-2539 to PA12-2874 Slides taken or collected by J A Jacques Quantity: 7800 colour original transparency/ies Some Dufaycolor transparencies from the early 1950s.

Gladys Sommerville's album of Tonga, Fiji, Wellington, her family and friends

Date: 1889-1901

From: Falloon, Wendy :Photographs of the Sommerville family

By: Sommerville, Ellen Gladys, 1884-1958

Reference: PAColl-1699-1

Description: Family and friends in Tonga, Fiji, and New Zealand. It seems that The Sommerville family lived in Fiji from at least the late 1880s to 1899. There is also a strong suggestion that they were there as part of the British colonial administration of that country. There is a Photograph of Gladys father, Archibald Davidson Sommerville being rowed by Fijians on the Tamavua River which was a stream flowing into Suva Harbour from the north east, north of Suva. He may have been a district commissioner or magistrate. The family lived in a large Bungalow in Suva called "Na Ulu Vatu".
