It gives me great pleasure to present the Australian National M aritim e M useum ’s An nu al Report for the period 1 Ju ly 2003 to 30 June 2004. This is the first year of reporting on the m useum ’s Strategic Plan for 2003 to 2006, and it is pleasing to note substantial progress tow ards achieving the goals and outcom es set when we fram ed this S trategic Plan.

One of the year’s outstanding initiatives was opening the museum galleries to the public free of charge, to

chairman’s message

increase direct access to the nation's leading maritime heritage resource. This was not a risk-free strategy, and it is a tribute to museum m anagement that they had the vision to attem pt it, and the ability to make it work so well in the initial trial period.

This report outlines significant infrastructure projects in progress or nearing com pletion. Again in 2 0 0 3 -2 0 0 4 the museum has mounted a variety of lively exhibitions, educational program s and public events th at cem ent its reputation fo r continually renewing, expanding and elaborating the concepts of maritime history and heritage. Again we have made substantial additions to our National Maritime Collection.

My sincere thanks to all who have m ade these achievem ents possible: the Australian G overnm ent and the M inister fo r the A rts and S port S enator the Hon Rod Kemp; corporate and individual sponsors, donors and supporters; my fellow Council m em bers; and a dedicated m anagement, staff and volunteers.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

director’s overview

The outstanding achievem ent of the year under review has been the Australian National M aritim e M useum’s success in becom ing the m ost-visited museum in Sydney. In a m etropolitan market th a t is arguably A u stra lia ’s most com petitive in its supply of major urban and regional museums - all keenly seeking the patronage of both local visitors and the dom estic and international tou rist market - th is is an outstanding result.

This is not, however, an achievement that we at the museum see simply as a marketing outcome - even though this result has put us ahead of some larger, better-resourced and much longer-established institutions. Speaking for staff and volunteers who are passionate about their museum and the way it enriches our understanding of the nation’s development and identity, we see it as an opportunity to reach an even wider audience and deepen their appreciation of this country and society.

our public has come to expect. We calculated that we could offset lost ticketing revenue by increased patronage of our other facilities, and find other ways to absorb the costs. The results during the trial of free entry have been encouraging, with exceptional results in a number of our commercial operations bringing earned revenue of $5.3 million in 20032004 very close to budget.

Obviously there was an element of risk in this strategy, and many other fee-charging museums are following our experimentwith intense interest. I would like to acknowledge the vision of the museum’s governing council both in endorsing an initial trial of this model, and extending it so that we can benefit from experience and tailor our systems to improve ourfinancial performance even more.

maritime history will be one of the beneficiaries, as more people come through our doors and learn about Australia's fascinating past and present.

director’s overview

Fa cto rs a ffe c tin g p erform an ce - c h a n g in g a u dien ces There is no doubt that we are connecting with our audiences in different ways, compared to the previous, more passive modes of interaction between museums and their visitors.

In recent years there had been consternation among museums at falling levels of attendance, which appeared to have decli ned to lessthan 20% of the population. Recent research by the professional body Museums Australia suggests that these attendance rates have turned around over the last five years to reach 25% of the population. At the same time audience participation and engagement is undergoing a qualitative shift. Commitment by friends, members and volunteer groups is now well over 160,000 nationwide, visits to museum web sites have increased, as has the use of museums as specifically educational destinations (museumsaustralia magazine 0 8 /2 0 0 4 :1 2 -1 3 ).

At this museum we have worked hard to foster one particular shift in this pattern of

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

E xhibition s and events The exhibitions, festivals and other public events that appear in the following section of this report, and in Appendix 1, show the lively diversity that our regular patrons and supporters have come to expect.

They included the re-opening of one of our exhibitions, NAVY, after an extensive redevelopment which meant closing half the ANZ gallery for six months. Over a period of years, each major thematic exhibition undergoes a complete redevelopment of its intellectual and physical structures, reflecting new perspectives as well as more recently acquired display objects. We’ve always enjoyed great support from the RAN, so the exhibition’s re-opening had no shortage of brass and ribbons in attendance. Yet one of my favourite comments about NAVY came from a staff member who’s ex-Navy rank-and-file. ‘I love it!’ he said. ‘It’s not just battles and admirals. It tells everybody's story ... men, women, the lot!’

The year’s biggest temporary exhibitions couldn’t have been more dissimilar in subject and style. Lost for 500 years ... Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam, from Art Exhibitions Australia, opened the door on the vibrant pre­ colonial trade of our South-East Asian neighbours, while dazzling us with the beauty of its ceramic treasures.

We had worked for years on the concepts of Sydney Working Harbour, about the changing face of our harbour

was a visitors book which invited people to record their views about this subject, which attracted well over two thousand comments. The opinions have been analysed and are being fed back into the public debate.

to change it every six months.’ Not in this case! As the exhibition demonstrates, the sailor suit is so universal and appealing that it endures and endlessly reinvents itself. To create this cheeky look at the sailor's image we mined our own collection and borrowed widely from others, from Buckingham Palace to the fashion houses of Paris.

Festivals during the year included a pageant to mark the 60th anniversary of the most famous special forces raid in the history of Australian arms, Operation Jaywick, which was launched from the vessel Krait displayed at our wharves. Our second food festival Mediterranean Tucker was a spring-time hit, while the sixth Classic & Wooden Boat Festival held in early March was a resounding success despite non-stop drenching rain, proving that dedicated boaties don’t mind a soaking!

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

The National M aritim e Collection One of the year's temporary exhibitions, S crim sh aw -A rt o f the Whaler, was designed to show off an entire subset of the National Maritime Collection. The museum’s extensive holding of decorative craft objects made of whale teeth, bone and baleen has benefited from recent acquisitions to become a most significant collection of its type. Examples of this art, which originated during whaling voyages that lasted for years, are now highly sought after on the international market.

We were fortunate to be the successful bidder, at very short notice, for two outstanding, provenanced relics of the Australian whaling industry at auctions in New York and London.

A scrimshaw panbone depicting Ben Boyd’s barque Terror, signed and inscribed with the title and the Boyd family crest, is extremely rare since scrimshaw is usually anonymous and the subjects unidentifiable. It is perfectly complemented by a beautifully illustrated whaling journal from the same barque Terror, recording a

Much more informative about life at sea, and its history.”

Pacific whaling voyage out of Sydney.

Among the many acquisitions noted in Appendixes 2 and 3 is a German navy lifejacket owned by a survivor of HSK Kormoran, the World War II raider which infamously sank (and was sunk by) HMAS Sydney. This lifejacket was the property of a Kormoran crew member who was transferred to a POW camp after surviving the battle in the Indian

Ocean, which remains controversial to this day. The jacket was presented to Warrant Officer H Scanlon who was stationed at the camp.

Partnerships and collaborations, home and abroad As time goes on we are increasing our efforts to assist and collaborate with organisations and institutions in a variety of fields, by no means limited to the many smaller maritime museums and societies around Australia which we have directly aided for many years.

scheme).

During the year I was personally involved in helping to develop a new maritime heritage precinct for Newcastle. This included planningforthe relocation of the existing Newcastle Regional Maritime Museum from Fort Scratchley to the urban waterfront. In the same period we were able to support the museum and conservation community of Vietnam with advice about the preservation of heritage vessels in the famous, world-heritagelisted area of Halong Bay. Closer to home, we continued to give substantial support to Australian Heritage Fleet (formerly Sydney Maritime Museum), which specialises in heritage ship operations including the 1874 barque James Craig and century-old steamer Lady Hopetoun. We accommodate this mostly volunteer-based organisation's collections, workshop and offices alongside our own facilities in our Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre, and give them berthing for James Craig.

The museum’s Yirrkala bark painting collection was the inspiration for an ambitious new educational project aiming to incorporate components of Indigenous knowledge in nonIndigenous teaching and learning. The paintings represent a unique artistic expression of Indigenous land and sea rights, describing the natural, human and spiritual dimensions of geography and meteorology, botany and zoology. The curriculum development project is a collaboration between the museum, the NSW Department of Education and Training Aboriginal Studies Team, the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research at the ANU and the Yirrkala (Northern Territory) Education Centre. The primary showcase for the project is a multimedia web site Turtle Tracks.

Since the museum was founded in the 1980s, we have been closely associated with the Australian Association for Maritime History (AAMH - publisher of Australia’s only academic maritime historyjournal, The Great Circle). This year we announced the winner of the first $2,000 Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize, jointly sponsored and judged by this museum and AAMH. Congratulations to Dr Leonie Huntsman, author of a social history of Australian beach-going, Sand in our souls. The AAMH's national executive rotates from state to state every five years and this museum has now assumed its top executive positions. Lindsey Shaw, our senior curator of maritime technology, exploration and navy, has become president and editor of its newsletter, and publications manager Jeffrey Mellefont is vice-president.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Exhibitions curator Susie Sedgwick became the first of our staff to go to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, on a professional exchange program that we have developed with our noted British counterpart. She worked there on the management of touring exhibitions. Conservator Elizabeth Hadlow also visited the UK on a Churchill Fellowship to enhance her skills as a specialist in the conservation of photographic materials. Both visits created valuable professional and institutional links.

shoreline south of Vampire. It accommodates the office and modem yacht fleet of Sydneyby-Sail, the commercial charter operation which formerly operated on our north wharf. The Festival Pontoon also provides extra mooring for visiting vessels, for example during our Classic & Wooden Boat Show, and international events such as the Sydney stopover of Global Challenge yacht race which ties up here again in 2005. This means reduced expenditure on hired pontoons for events such as these.

By 30 June 2004 we had completed relocation of fleet maintenance from leased premises at Berrys Bay, on the opposite side of the harbour. Other capital works included the completion of conservation and rectification work on the 19th-century Cape Bowling Green lighthouse.

Initiatives in the areas of human resource management included development of a Disability Action Plan and a

2003-2006 Workplace Diversity Program.

Outlook One project which we have been especially keen to see progress is a proposed Australian Register of Historic Vessels, which in the coming year will receive staff and resources to move beyond planning to preliminary implementation phase. The aim of the project is to capture important data about historic vessels in public and community collections around the country, as well as ones in private hands. This will become an invaluable national heritage resource, for the first time providing a picture of this category of movable heritage item and its distribution throughout the country. It will help museums, historical societies and individual owners make decisions about managing their own historic vessels.

The Australian Register of Historic Vessels will also be a valuable means of expanding on the museum outreach activities and consolidating our relations with regional Australian organisations, which

2006 Strategic Plan. Allied to this, we anticipate an increase in the volume of requests

Lent by Max Dupain Archive

for professional assistance that we willingly provide.

Among the new exhibitions which we confidently predict will continue the museum’s popularity will be one on the great period of Viking expansion, drawing on major European collections. The story of this dynamic maritime culture is one that has universal appeal.

An exhibition called About Tim e will look at time and timekeepers not just from the navigator’s perspective but as a wide-ranging and imaginative survey of the way time rules us all. And our visitors will be surprised and astounded by a spectacular display of masterpieces of French naval sculpture from 1660 to 1860 which we are bringing to Sydney from the Musee de la Marine in Paris.

DOUGLAS ANNAND - THE ART OF LIFE The versatile work of one of Au stralia’s leading 20th-century com m ercial a rtists em bellished ocean liners and pubic buildings, travel posters and textiles.

Douglas Annand (1903-1976) was a graphic designer, w atercolourist, textile designer, m uralist and sculptor of great originality and style. From the 1930s he introduced the world to a dram atically different view of Australia through his sophisticated travel posters.

Joint consultative council The museum's Joint Consultative Council comprising the director, assistant director corporate services, the human resources manager and three elected staff representatives met four times this year. The council discusses a wide range of issues including financial and human resource planning, workplace diversity, occupational health and safety, and work and organisation structures.

W orkplace diversity A workplace diversity policy was endorsed by the museum executive and distributed to all staff. For staff breakdown by gender see table under the heading‘Human resource managementand OHS’ inSection 2, Key Result Area 3 - Infrastructure Development.

Com m onwealth d isa b ility strategy The museum provides facilities to help disabled people to access its programs, exhibitions and publications. The Workplace Diversity Committee developed a Disability Action Plan with an external consultant, together with performance measures, in accordance with the Commonwealth Disability Strategy. See under the heading ‘Disability action plan’ in Section 2, Key Result Area 3 Infrastructure Development.

Access & equity In line with the Charter for Public Service in a Culturally Diverse Society the museum creates programs and products that reflect the diversity of Australian society.

Environm ental performance Environmental benefits have resulted from the museum’s engineering approach to fleet basin modifications which were largely completed during the year under report. The adaptive reuse of surplus steel pontoons and winch systems, and recycled concrete ballast, represents savings not just in cost but in energy and materials and, consequently, in C02 emissions.

Management of energy consumption, for which the museum has won awards in the past, was ongoing. Modifications have been made to improve the performance and reliability of the main building's air-conditioning system. This initiative alone is expected to realise significant energy savings over the next reporting period. This is undertaken by the building services section which also targeted waste management as an issue for

improved performance.

Corporate governance The chairman has initiated an annual performance assessment and review process which requires all councillors to complete a questionnaire rating their individual and collective knowledge and contributions across a broad range of issues. The responses are consolidated and discussed by council in a full and frank discussion over some hours. Areas needing improvement are identified and actions agreed. The chairman and director also have biannual meetings with the minister to review governance issues.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

A MODERN M ARITIM E MUSEUM AT W O R K Redeveloping the core exhibition NAVYin the ANZTall Gallery was a milestone in the periodic renewal of all the exhibitions with which the museum opened in 1991. The evaluation cycle for this long-term commitment was completed in June 2004. The re-opening of NAVY, and four major new exhibitions staged this year, were highlighted in the Director's Overview in Section 1. The temporary exhibitions were: Lost for 500 Years ... Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam, Sydney Working Harbour, Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film and Scrimshaw - Art of the Whaler. In addition, we hosted our first travelling exhibition from the National Gallery of Australia, Douglas Annand - the art of life, featuring the work of one of Australia’s most influential commercial artists whose commissions for the P&O-Orient Line revealed him as a master of maritime modernism.

A visitor access brief for Blackmore's First Lady, a centrepiece of the l/Vatermarksexhibition in the ANZTall Gallery, has been researched and written. This will allow visitors to board the Cavalier 37 yacht on which Australian single-hander Kay Cottee became the first woman in the world to circumnavigate solo and non-stop. This is just one example of the continual refinements and developments that our longer-term exhibitions undergo.

Major festivals included a special program of events commemorating the 60th anniversary of Australia's most daring and successful WWII special operation, Operation Jaywick; our second food festival Mediterranean Tucker, and the sixth Classic & Wooden Boat Festival. These popular celebrations appealed to different audiences who enjoyed specially coordinated programs of talks, displays, demonstrations, music and entertainment and food and wine. All such visitor events and programs are recorded in Appendix 1.

Stories of migration across seas are part of the history of almost all Australians; the museum records and relates these stories from both our distant and recent pasts as well as our present. In September we hosted the Dunera Boys reunion (furthering a connection made with our 1993 exhibition of the same name), commemorating a key chapter in the history of modern Australia as an immigration-based society. For Refugee Week 2003 we sponsored an art project jointly with Austcare and held an evening of activities celebrating the survival of our nearest South-East Asian neighbour, East Timor.

The first Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize was awarded this year. Offered jointly by this museum and the Australian Association for Maritime History, the $2,000 prize was awarded to Leone Huntsman, for Sand in Our Souls (Melbourne University Press, 2001).

EDUCATION AN D CHILDREN ’S PROG RAM S One indicator of our education programs’ success was the 50% of school tours that were repeat visits this year, as were more than 80% of school groups on Careers Day. More than 50% of all HSC chemistry students elected the shipwrecks option in the HSC chemistry exam, and more than one third of these students had participated in the museum's shipwreck workshop program. There was a large increase in the number of participants in oursecondary school workshops related to archaeology, chemistry and Sydney - Working Harbour.

Theatre remains the most immediate and one of the most successful ways of engaging young audiences, and museum staff are adept in dramatic arts. There were performances

by Jigsaw Theatre (Flotsam and Jetsam) during school holidays; SOS Theatre (during the Classic & Wooden Boat Festival and Museums Light Up); Stormy Grey (on James Craig)-, and X-Ray Theatre, in Wetworld during school holidays.

A successful conference was held jointly with the Australian Children’s Book Council in conjunction with the popular exhibition Oceans of Stories - Illustrations from Australian children's books. In association with WEA the section hosted a well received oneday conference on maritime illustrations in Australian children’s books, and a two-day

ENGAGING OUR AUDIENCES KEY RESULT AREA 1

symposium with children’s literature specialist Dr Robyn McCallum and book illustrators.

On Careers Day at the museum this year we cordinated over 30 presentations from defence forces, Sydney Ports, Waterways and professional training groups. Other collaborative outreach projects included: • Turtle Tracks - a science curriculum project, in partnership with the NSW Education Department Aboriginal Studies team and the ANU Centre for Cross-cultural Research • a joint school project with IMAX theatre for the exhibition Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam • a joint school project with Sydney Aquarium for the exhibition Sharks - Predator and Prey • Sydney Harbour Week activities • two teacher exhibition previews • school tours of Cockatoo Island with Sydney Harbour Federation Trust • cruise forums held in conjunction with WEA. Other programs targeted specific communities. Portuguese Sunday, developed with Portuguese community groups, attracted over 300 visitors to the museum. Others involved cooperation with community maritime groups, for example the Newcastle Maritime Festival run in conjunction with Newcastle Regional Museum and the Australian Maritime Museums Council. The section coordinated a number of successful events during the 2004 C/ass/c & Wooden Boat Festival and participated with 25 other Sydney public museums and galleries in the inaugural Museums Light Up event.

Many of this year’s education publications also involved collaboration with other organisations. These include a CD-ROM about how to read museum exhibitions as texts, being produced in collaboration with NSW English Teachers Association, and the flyers produced for the Sydney Working Harbour cruise forums. The Operation Jaywick 60th Anniversary booklet was produced in conjunction with the Australian War Memorial and Department of Veterans Affairs. These were in addition to the large number of educational resources such as ‘hands-on learning’ annual program flyers (primary and secondary); Careers Day student information kit; worksheets and flyers (and the fax streams produced for each item) which included a Sydney Working Harbour resource kit and an archaeology activity worksheet for workshops in Sunken Treasures o f Brunei Darussalam.

See also the education publications listed in Appendix 5.

IN TER AC TIO N S , VIS ITS AN D VIS ITO R PR O FILE Interactions with the museum, which include people availing themselves of museum services and facilities in a variety of ways other than the traditional exhibition visit, rose significantly in the 2003-2004 financial year to 1,638,732. In the same period, looking at the measure of people visiting in person, the Australian National Maritime Museum became the most-visited museum in Sydney. The 431,536 visitors to our site were 31% over the target figure of 329,830. This was an outcome of the November 2003 introduction of a trial of free visitor entry to our main galleries as reported fully in the Director’s Overview.

Since then, several changes to ticketing options have been made, producing valuable feedback about audience needs and preferences.

An analysis of visitor origins reveals a similar pattern to last year: 37% came from the Sydney metropolitan area, 14% were from NSW country areas, and 14% from other states. Museum visitors of overseas origin comprised 35% of total visitation. The top five international sources of visitors were the UK, USA, New Zealand, Japan and Germany.

Visitor programs drew 40,970 visitors this year compared to 49,006 last year. The decrease represents a return to the museum’s average school visitation numbers, after a previous

exhibition, Antarctic Heroes, attracted a record number of school groups in 2002-2003.

Our museum venues were hired for 233functions, attended by 37,580 people representinga significant increase on the previous year and indicatingthe marketability of our harbourside location and excellent facilities.

M A R K E T R ES EAR C H Market research continues to inform and influence the museum’s interaction with its audiences and the wider community. A contract market researcher conducted surveys and analysis to determine market needs and expections of services and attractions, and to measure the level of satifaction. In partnership with the University of Technology and the Powerhouse Museum, we completed the pilot stage of a major strategic study investigating museums and leisure choices.

Exit surveys tested visitor responses to three temporary exhibitions, Oceans of Stories - Illustrations from Australian Children's Books, Lost for 500 Years... Sunken Treasures of Brunei and Sydney Working Harbour. A tracking study of visitors to Oceans of Stories examined visitor flow, to assist in improving the layout and placement of major labels in future exhibitions. A visitor comments book was introduced into the Sydney Working Harbour exhibition to solicit views on Sydney Harbour’s future. A report of the first six months of comments from this book (September 2003 to March 2004) was produced, providing a comprehensive overview of the public's priorities for the harbour.

Two program evaluations were conducted on the Classic & Wooden Boat Festival and Marine Careers Day, providing valuable feed back to assist in the planningof future events. A market analysis of the Sydney Chinese community was undertaken to assess the potential of this market to the museum, and it is likely to provide a model for similar surveys.

An evaluation study of the museum's quarterly magazine Signals involved a readership survey of ANMM Members and other readers, and two focus groups, yielding useful information on perceptions of the magazine’s content and design, as well as comments on the Members program. This will help us to further improve these products and services.

VEN U E H IRE AN D CATERING Venue revenue exceeded budget by an astonishing $89,000 this financial year despite a long period during which bookings for two of the most popular spaces - the ANZ theatre and Tasman Light - were unavailable due to NAVYgallery renovations. And for the second consecutive year we won the Convention & Incentive Marketing Magazine award for best practice as a function venue. The award is highly regarded by professionals in the conference and meetings industry.

Successful events were held for corporate, government and private clients, including museum sponsors Tenix, Raytheon and Lloyd’s Register (in conjunction with the Seapower 2004 conference). Renovations to Yots Cafe, completed in 2003, resulted in an increase in patronage during the day by museum visitors, tourists and the local business precinct, as well as for evening functions.

The combination of location, food by award-winning caterers the MODE Group, and distinctive service has contributed to the museum's reputation (and income) as one of Sydney’s more popular function venues. In a telephone survey of 62 venue clients from 2003, 85% of external users expressed satisfaction with the museum’s facilities and amenities, and 88% expressed satisfaction with the support of ANMM staff.

Marketing initiatives included a venue CD-ROM to re-launch the museum’s venues, strategically deployed at the Sydney On Sale exhibition at the Conference and Entertainment Centre, Darling Harbour. A wedding brochure was produced in print and electronic format

ENGAGING OUR AUDIENCES KEY RESULT AREA 1

and is being used to target this lucrative market, along with advertising in bridal magazines.

A marketing package promoting harbourside wedding venues was developed in conjunction with the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, and venue staff follow up enquiries with site inspections.

TH E STORE The museum’s retail branch is run with skill and flair. Strategic product selection and display make shopping for maritime-themed and exhibition-related books and souvenirs an indispensable part of the museum visit. Store revenue this financial year was the highest recorded since the museum opened. Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film presented an unusual merchandising opportunity, and The Store has been packed for the duration of the exhibition with highly marketable goods and wittily nautical fashion items.

SYD N EY B Y S A IL Sydney by Sail is a successful commercial enterprise operated from the museum waterfront by former Olympic sailor Matt Hayes. The yacht charter company is well-regarded in the tourism industry and offers short sails on the harbour and longer overnight cruises, as well as courses for beginning or veteran sailors. In addition to giving visitors an opportunity to extend their museum experience with hands-on maritime adventures, Sydney by Sail is a source of revenue to the museum. More information about their activities can be found at www.svdnevhvsail.com

This will be an ongoing project to document and create a database of heritage craft in public, community and private collections and ownership.

The museum was involved in the selection of tenderers for a research project commissioned by the Australian Heritage Commission to address the theme Mapping the Coastline. The project calls for identification and assessment of places of heritage significance taking in maritime incidents, developments in navigation and survey techniques, political and economic associations and key locations related to all of these. Another collaborative project, The River - a joint enterprise with the NSW Museums and Galleries Foundation concerning inland river communities and trades - is being developed, with a scoping study underway.

In a regional extension of the museum's national outreach program, material (text and graphics) from the sucessful exhibition Oceans Apart - the story of Ann and Matthew Flinders was sent to the Yamba museum on the NSW north coast. In addition, valuable experience was gained in our registration and photography sections by interns from Broome and Echuca.

AC Q U IS ITIO N S The museum's collections were enriched this year by the acquisitions and over 55 donations that appear in Appendixes 2 and 3. They range from a fine series of seven engravings and five original sketches dating from 1783, depicting the adventures of the fictional character Robinson Crusoe, to two rowing oars from Sydney University Boat Club, commemorating victories at inter-university boat races held in the late 1890s.

Two of the most outstanding acquisitions this year, relating to 19th-century Australian whaling, were a rare scrimshaw panbone depicting Ben Boyd's whaling barque Terror, and an illustrated whaling journal from the same ship (see Director's Overview).

Among important Indigenous material acquired this year, a woven sedge yabbie trap from the Murray River in South Australia stands out. This one, made by Yvonne Koolmatrie, shows the distinctive weaving characteristic of the region. Yvonne Koolmatrie (language group Ngarrindjeri) is an exceptional artist and a highly regarded exponent of traditional fibre craft production as well as a community leader in maintaining such traditional craft.

She was responsible for all aspects of making the trap including collecting and harvesting the materials. The item is a significant contribution to our policy of increasing representation of Indigenous communities of South Australia and inland river communities.

The contract for a new collection management software system was signed in June 2004. An implementation plan and strategies for data migration, system configuration, customisation and training were prepared by the registration section, and a ‘go-live’ date for early 2005 is anticipated.

CON SERVATION The second phase of the conservation program for the outstanding and extremely important Yirrkala Saltwater bark painting collection - condition assessment and treatment, adjustment of support, and photo documentation - is almost complete and the collection will be ready to travel to other venues by December. The testing of containers for the archival storage of two of the museum’s most significant photographic collections, the Samuel Hood and William Hall collections, is complete and the collections will be re-housed by December 2005.

In April, in cooperation with the Australian War Memorial, the section hosted an Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material workshop on the conservation of photographic materials. Senior conservator Elizabeth Hadlow returned from her valuable studies at the Centre for Photographic Conservation in the UK on a Churchill Fellowship, and will be developing a set of procedures for staff for the examination, identification and care and handling of cultural materials. This will be supplemented by in-house training.

A new head of conservation has been appointed. Canadian James Engelbert brings to the position skills and experience in conservation management, living history site conservation and industrial site preservation development.

M A R IN E AR C H A E O LO G Y PR O G R AM Museum personnel continue to engage professionally with other organisations in preserving and promoting Australia’s maritime heritage. A regular program of archaeological diving with the New South Wales Heritage Office is maintained. Ten dives on shipwrecks in Sydney Harbour were undertaken in 2003-2004, on Centurion, Royal Shepherd and Annie Miller. The museum’s head maritime archaeologist, Kieran Hosty, has left temporarily on secondment to the Historic Houses Trust of NSW and his position is temporarily filled by curator Nigel Erskine. Curator Paul Hundley continues to assist in efforts to identify HMB Endeavour, examining evidence collected during fieldwork at Newport Harbour, Rhode Island, USA. U S A G ALLER Y The USA Gallery occupies a unique place in the international museum world, as a gallery in a national museum funded by another nation. It celebrates a shared history - more than two centuries of maritime contact, cooperation and competition between Australia and the United States - and is the enduring product of a generous endowment which was the USA’s bicentennial gift to Australia. The gallery continues to foster diplomatic, commercial and cultural relations between the two countries and their museums. A further valuable connection with the USA was established this year when the American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum was launched. As well as fostering links with this museum and its USA Gallery, it will enable donations and gifts from US supporters to be tax-deductible.

This year extensive modifications were made to the USA Gallery in preparation for the new exhibition Scrimshaw - A rt of the Whaler which opened in March 2004. The striking display draws on the museum’s collection to highlight many fine examples of this traditional folk art, mostly associated with the whaling industry. A number of pieces on display were acquired by the museum from the collection of the late Des Liddy, who built up Australia's foremost private collection of scrimshaw.

Currently a program of visiting scholars and curators is being evaluated for exhibitions in the the USA Gallery, and a five-year masterplan for the gallery is in development ready to be implemented in the next financial year.

IN D IGEN OUS A F F A IR S The museum continues to offer visitors opportunities to encounter apects of Indigenous cultural heritage, strengthen partnerships with Indigenous communities, and ensure that Indigenous people have access to cultural assets and experiences.

The Indigenous curator and liaison officer John Waight has worked with various Indigenous communities to source material for exhibition changeovers in the museum’s Merana Eora Nora gallery, and for the Indigenous storyline in the exhibition Sydney Working Harbour. He organised a number of objects including paintingand sculpture to be lentto the Powerhouse Museum for exhibition at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The officer's varied role has

included work on developing an Indigenous protocol for the museum, and providing advice for the museum's volunteers training program.

The assistant director of Collections and Exhibitions, Michael Crayford, and the Indigenous curatortravelledto Launceston and returned a bull-kelp water carrierto the deceased artist’s next of kin Muriel Maynard and Gloria Templar, in the presence of the Aboriginal Elders Council of Tasmania. For safe-keeping and to preserve the object’s cultural integrity it was placed in the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston. These arrangements were formalised with the Tasmanian Indigenous community and QVMAG. A replacement bull-kelp water carrier was given to the museum by Tasmanian Elder Lola Greeno. The family and the Tasmanian Indigenous community provided formal acknowledgement.

Collaboration continues between the Indigenous curator, the Centre for Cross Cultural Research at ANU, the NSW Department of Education and Training Aboriginal Studies team, and the Yirrkala (NT) and Yuin (NSW south coast) communities on the Turtle Tracks Indigenous Science Curriculum project mentioned elsewhere. Other outreach activities included involvement with a scoping study for the project The River (see under Heritage programs, above), and bringing school bands from Yirrkala (NT) and Mornington Island (QLD) to perform at the museum.

FLEET The transfer of fleet operations from Berrys Bay to Darling Harbour, completed this year, is expected to facilitate vessel maintenance. Fleet staff provided their expertise for the installation and commissioning of the Museum Quay and Festival Pontoons which form the first stages in the museum site masterplan; and they have been involved in planning for its future stages. Two apprenctices are currently acquiring valuable skills in the fleet section - a continuation of the museum's commitment to providing shipwright and marine trade training for young people.

A vessel management policy was developed during the year, and guidelines for conserving and maintaining historic vessels were published. The conservation plan for the Vietnamese refugee boat Tu Do was completed, and progress made in the conservation of both the WWI commander raider Krait and the Colin Archer ketch Kathleen Gillett. The Attack class patrol boat HMAS Advance was slipped for triennial maintenance. The fleet section has given advice on the proposal to provide a home for the Endeavour replica when it returns to Australia, including updated costings for the the vessel’s management by the museum.

The section was involved in planning and managing the 2004 Classic & Wooden Boat Festival. This national event encourages the appreciation, preservation and sustainabilty of classic, traditional and contemporary vesels and craft skills, as well as promoting the museum and maritime history.

Fleet manager Steven Adams actively supported a number of outreach projects. He gave collection management advice to the Schoolhouse Museum at Ryde in Sydney; provided naval architectural advice to Nick Coffill, a consultant to the government of Malaysia, for a new vessel; and briefed Hette Mollema, planning coordinator for the John Ox/ey project (Australian Heritage Fleet) on the conservation approach taken by our museum.

Fleet personnel are kept busy responding to public requests for information about vessels and engines. A record number - 85 - of such enquiries were handled in the reporting period.

In addition, the fleet section provided its services to enable safe access to the museum’s historic vessels for visiting media and television crews on 24 occasions, responding to a steady and growing demand by a wide range of media to utilise this unique heritage asset.

VAU G HAN EVANS L IB R A R Y In reponse to constant public demand for pictures of ships and access to the museum's pictorial collections, head of the Vaughan Evans Library, Frances Prentice, undertook a project to develop temporary access to the pictorial material from the National Maritime Collection prior to the new Collection Management Information System going 'live' to the public (proposed for 2005-2006). Assisted by consultants TL Collective and the publications, curatorial, registration and photography departments of the museum, the librarians designed and produced a web-based database of images from the museum's painting collection. Most of these are ship portraits, which are the images most in demand.

This material is also harvested by the National Library of Australia for its national pictorial portal Picture Australia, htto://www.Dictureaustralia.org.

The library began work on a major preservation, microfilming and digitisation project for fragile material held in its collection. In the first stage of the project issues of the Australian Motor Boat and Yachting Monthly from 1922 to 1930 were copied. The library also commenced an ongoing project to cull and rehouse the serials collection with a view to long-term preservation. In addition, librarians began adding holdings for rare book material held in our collection onto the national bibliographic database, to facilitate access to this material.

C A P IT A L W O RK S The relocation of our fleet maintenance operation from Berrys Bay and the re-opening of NAVY are mentioned elsewhere. Other major capital works projects completed this year included conservation and rectification work on the 19th-century Cape Bowling Green lighthouse. The lighthouse will be 130 years old in 2004.

Also completed in the past financial year were Museum Quay and Festival Pontoon, the first stages in an ambitious reconfiguration of our existing wharves. New wharves were constructed through an ingenious recycling of large pontoons from Western Australia. The project has improved display conditions and access to our historic vessels and will proceed over a period of years. We have initial development approval for Heritage Cove, a further extension of waterside facilities.

Restructuring and repair of the wharf and piers supporting the museum’s Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre are also included in the masterplan for our Darling Harbour site.

A number of architectural and engineering options are being explored, with documents and estimations in preparation. A contract for sea coating has already been awarded.

Modifications have also been made to improve the performance and reliability of the main building’s air-conditioning system. This initiative alone is expected to realise significant energy savings over the next reporting period.

C O M M U N IC ATIO N S AND IN FO R M ATIO N M AN AG E M E N T S ER VIC E S Information technology staff assisted the publications manager in the first stages of the redevelopment of the museum’s website. They also provided technical support in tenders to select a new Collection Information Management System (CIMS), in addition to adding file servers to facilitate installation of the new system and the cross-grade of several of the museum’s databases, including the library catalogue. Eighty-five PCs and laptops throughout the museum were refreshed to support a number of new technologies including the new CIMS. This museum section providesoften-unseen, essential services to ensure visitors experience museum displays of technological sophistication. For the successful redevelopment of the core exhibition NAVY, we extended the media and venue management system to its gallery. A comparable role was performed in the installation of the major new exhibitions Lost for 500 Years ... Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam, Sydney Working Harbour, Scrimshaw - Art o f the Whaler and Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film. In particular, a PIVoD digital reticulation system was installed in the Nortel Networks Gallery for Sailor Style.

A rear projection system was installed in the USA Gallery to replace an obsolete video wall, and audiovisuals were produced for Sydney Working Harbour, AMVYand Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film. Exciting and effective lightening was designed, rigged and commissioned for those exhibitions as well as for Scrimshaw - A rt of the Whaler.

IT staff implemented a new service-desk software system to improve handling of service requests in the areas of information technology, telephony and AVs. The system has been configured using Information Technology Infrastructure Library principles, recognised as

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT KEY RESULT AREA 3

one of the world standards for IT service management. Users can submit incidents and change requests and track their progress via a web browser. The system also contains a knowledge base of common solutions relevant to our museum. These initiatives are increasing productivity and efficiency.

The section contributes to and benefits from membership of the Corporate Management Forum Information Technology Working Group, which comprises information technology managers from national collecting insitutions.

CU S TO M E R S ER VIC E Customer service personnel are in the frontline promoting the museum and increasing public awareness of our attractions and services. Front-of-house and security officers are well-informed by induction and ongoing briefings both before exhibition openings and on a daily basis. The section continues to work alongside local organisations on local issues, including: • the successful negotiation of a city-centre bus stop at the museum’s doors, making arrival and departure at the museum easier for visitors and staff • acting as a training venue for government organisations • participating in community discussions on social and security issues • involvement in NSW juvenile justice (specifically with young people defacing the museum with grafitti).

A major security review of the museum during the year resulted in the following implementations: • audible alarms on all fire exit doors • ongoing involvement in precinct security with local stakeholders and law enforcement authorities • working with all branches in the continuing challenge of securing museum exhibition, staff and visitor security.

In addition, the security and front-of-house contracts went to tender last year. A consultant was employed to see the process through to recommending and awarding the contract.

H U M AN R ES O U R C E M AN AG E M E N T AN D O C C U P ATIO N AL HEALTH AN D S A F E T Y C e rtifie d a gre em ent and A W A s At 30 June 2004 there were 101 Australian public service employees covered by a certified agreement and Australian workplace agreements. All 101 are non-Senior Executive Service staff. Salary ranges appear in the table below.

Non-salary benefits provided to employees include: • access to a confidential professional counselling service through Employee Assistance Program • reimbursement of cost for vaccinations • eyesight testing service for APS staff and reimbursement for spectacles • studies assistance to ongoing APS staff • access to purchased leave scheme for ongoing APS staff.

All Australian workplace agreements offered in the museum link pay to performance. At 30 June 2004 performance payments totalled $15,397.50. Other information on performance pay - the number of APS employees at each classification level who received performance pay; aggregated amount of payments at each classification level; and average and range of bonus payment at each classification level - is available on request, since publishing this

information would allow amounts paid to individuals to be identified.

Productivity gains as negotiated in the 2002-2004 certified agreement for the 2003-04 financial year are: • the implementation of enhanced strategic planning processes • training in the new project management system • improvements in the use of information technology.

Negotiations for the 2004-2006 Certified Agreement were completed and at 30 June 2004 were awaiting a hearing at the Australian Industrial Relations Commisssion. The major features of the new agreement are: • Pay increase of 4% from date of certification of the Agreement (or 1 July 2004, whichever is the earlier) and a 4% increase effective from 1 July 2005.

• Agreement to link all progression through the pay scale to the Museum Performance Scheme.

• The museum will develop a health awareness program in conjunction with staff with the aim of increasing the health and fitness of staff.

• The museum has agreed to ‘family friendly’ initiatives such as not arranging meetings before 9.30 am where possible and providing the employees with extra dependent care costs where they are required to travel away for work, or work additional hours, and/or where they are required to pay for additional child care arrangements. The museum has also agreed to two additional weeks maternity leave.

• A community language allowance will be paid to staff where there is an identified need for particular language skills, and the staff member has the appropriate qualifications.

A sse ssm en t of effectiven ess in m an agin g human resources The second round of the museum performance scheme was also completed, to June 2004.

Human resource management statistics are provided regularly to management to enable them to assess workforce needs and apply workforce planning strategies. Staff turnover was 10.7% in 2003-2004, compared to 15.7% in the previous year.

The first secondment to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, UK, was undertaken by a museum staff member as part of an exchange program negotiated between the two museums. Relevant staff attended an in-house project management workshop.

Assessment of both enterprises has been favourable.

In addition to statutory requirements and humans resources initiatives, museum staff benefit from a staff seminar program which hosts lectures by visiting scholars or curators.

In the past year talks have been given by curators from the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, the Imperial War Museum, and the National Museum of Denmark.

Jo in t co n su lta tive council The museum’s joint consultative council, which consists of three management and three employee-elected representatives, met on four occasions during the year, to discuss a wide range of issues including financial and human resource planning, workplace diversity, occupational health and safety, and work organisation and structures.

O ccu pation al health and safety It is an ANMM policy to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe for employees, is without risk to their health and provides adequate facilities for their welfare at work. The museum has a range of procedures in place to manage OH&S, including a staff Induction booklet, accident investigation guidelines, confined space entry guidelines, hot work permit system and a system of workplace inspections. The OH&S committee of

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT KEY RESULT AREA 3

management representatives and elected staff representatives meets on a two-monthy basis. Incident statistics are reported to the museum council, and we aim to capture information on 100% of accidents or incidents occurring on the museum site. There were six compensation claims by staff and volunteers in 2003-04, and 73 reported accidents or incidents - a reduction from 77 in the previous reporting year.

The museum has a number of health surveillance programs in place, including hearingtesting and flu and hepatitis vaccinations. Environment monitoring takes place as required.

D isa b ility a ctio n plan Work has commenced on the implementation of a Disability Action Plan developed by John Moxon in accordance with the Commonwealth Disability Strategy and endorsed by the museum, with a number of initiatives due for completion by December 2004.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

M AR K ETIN G The year’s most recent exhibition Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film received sensational advertising media support. In addition to general mainstream advertising the museum took advantage of a number of free promotional opportunities including a store display window in the mid-city store Gowings, banners at monorail stations and a hoarding in Harbourside (the Darling Harbour precinct shopping centre).

This is one example of the way marketing strategies varied to meet the challenge of a busy, eclectic program. For Oceans o f Stories - Illustrations from Australian Children's Books the focus was on the youth market, children’s reading magazines and metropolitan press, supplemented by extensive direct mailings to book shops, graphic design schools, art galleries and art supplies stores. The Mediterranean Tucker Festival was successfully promoted through advertisements in ethnic newspapers and food-related publications.

Our major Christmas exhibition Lost for 500 Years ... Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam was promoted to art audiences, antique collectors, maritime enthusiasts and scholars as well as in mainstream press. Excellent awareness of the children’s Wetworld activity was secured by advertising in school holiday features, children's magazines and metrolite posters at bus and telephone shelters in Sydney’s CBD and inner west. This campaign was supported by a precinct free-to-air TV campaign which highlighted the variety of activities available at our unique indoor/outdoor venue.

Free entry to the museum was promoted in a select but successful campaign of advertising in major metropolitan press, selected ethnic press, precinct metrolites, buildingbannersand a widely distributed brochure. The initiative was a valuable contribution to the museum’s high and positive profile. Tourists to Sydney comprise one of our most important markets which we continued to target this year in various ways including a mixture of independent and cooperative advertising in major tourist publications.

A major function of the marketing section is to take our products and services beyond the museum. Developing strategies to reach those with a keen interest in history, we formed an alliance in December 2003 with the History Channel. Available to subscribers to the Foxtel and Austar networks, the History Channel is Australia's only television channel dedicated to history. Three mini-programs (or interstitials) have so far been produced - on Oskar Speck, the man who paddled a kayak from Germany to Australia in the 1930s; the exhibition Lost for 500 Years ... Sunken Treasures o f Brunei Darussalam; and Ken Warby’s world speed record-breaking boat Spirit of Australia.

The museum enjoyed a high profile in the inaugural Museums Light Up event, particularly as hostforthe press launch. The evening involved 25 museums and galleries openingfrom

6 pm until midnight and was widely covered by the media. This museum and the Australian Heritage Fleet vessel James Craig were two of the most-visited attractions, with visitors enjoying live entertainment, films and demonstrations. Many took the opportunity to enjoy a candlelight dinner in Yots, our waterfront cafe.

M E D IA Early in the year under review the museum adopted a new media strategy with the intention to raise the museum's profile - particularly in regional Australia - to draw attention to its national role. As part of the strategy, a journalist has been engaged on a regular part-time basis to increase the flow of information to press and electronic media. A media training program has been introduced. On available evidence, it appears editorial coverage of the museum's activities in the Australian media increased by a factor of more than 10% in the year 2003-04.

REPUTATION AND RECOGNITION KEY RESULT AREA 4

In order to monitor these movements more accurately the museum has now, as part of the media strategy, engaged an outside consultant to record and analyse coverage on a regular basis. In its first analysis report, covering the 12 months to 30 June 2004, Media Measures Pty Ltd said the museum had a ‘highly successful’ year in the Australian media. In all, 815 reports or stories appeared. Significantly, 80% of coverage focused on the museum's key operations - its exhibitions and visitor programs. The report also drew attention to the fact that 99% of coverage was ‘favourable’. The consultant commented that, for a large museum, this high proportion was an unusual achievement.

In more detailed parts of the report, the consultant found that the museum gained an almost equal value of coverage in print and electronic media. Within the print media, by far the most coverage (53%) was gained in Sydney’s metropolitan daily newspapers, and here almost equal coverage was gained in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Daily Telegraph.

Almost 60% of coverage, in all media, was concerned with the museum’s exhibitions.

The exhibitions which drew the most attention were, in order: NAVY, Lost for 500 Years...

Sunken Treasures of Brunei Darussalam and Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film.

P U B LIC ATIO N S AND W E B S ITE Print and electronic publications such as the web site http://www.anmm.gov.au support the museum’s reputation and recognition, and take it to international audiences (see Appendix 5). The stylish exhibition Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film was accompanied by a stylish exhibition catalogue with essays by curator Rosie Nice and Dr Fiona Allon of the Centre for Cultural Research, University of Western Sydney. The catalogue extended the exhibition themes, guiding readers from bare chests and tattoos to Japanese schoolgirls in sailor suits, via Jean Genet's Querelle de Brest.

In March the museum was co-publisher with Halstead Press of the long-awaited Wooden Boats, Iron Men - The Halvorsen Story by Randi Svensen. The handsomely illustrated hardcover was the culmination of a longstanding commitment by the museum to document this important Norwegian-Australian maritime family and its achievements as gifted designers and boatbuilders, astute marketers and champion sailors. The publication capped the museum's long association with the Halvorsens, who carried out an acclaimed restoration of museum vessel Kathleen Gillett (a Norwegian Government Bicentennial Gift). Generous donations of plans, photographs, documents and tools by family members have made the museum the major repository of this boatbuilding dynasty’s history. The new book is a valued addition to the records of Australia's maritime heritage.

The web site continues a steady growth in usage, logging 475,000 separate visits from 191,600 unique visitors (2002-2003: 401,566 visits). In this financial year we embarked on a complete, top-to-bottom redevelopment of the website. The managers of publications and communications & information management services assessed 14 tenders. The Adelaide company United Focus Pty Ltd was selected to guide and implement the planning phase of the redevelopment, which will emphasise improved architecture and useability, design, content management, interactivity and e-commerce. The analysis, scoping, specifications and implementation will proceed over the 2004-05 financial year.

The publications section administers a growing demand by publishers and individuals for reproductions of images from the collection. The section dealt with 142 such requests during the year.

DESIGN A N D PR EPAR ATIO N Good design is vital to the contemporary representation of Australia's maritime past and present. This year our designers worked hard and imaginatively to create two vastly different temporary exhibitions - Sydney Working Harbour and Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film, as well as reinvigorating Watermarks and Wetworld.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

Designers spent about 62% of their time on exhibition projects; preparators spent 71% of theirs on exhibitions and public programs; and our graphic designers worked for 25% of their time on the many public programs produced by the museum to complement exhibitions.

In addition, the design section provided professional expertise to a number of community organisations, including assistance to the Cruising Yacht Club for an exhibition commemorating the Sydney-Hobart yacht race (planned for the 2004 race), and advice to the Newcastle Maritime Museum on relocation to new premises.

TH E W E LC O M E W ALL Three panels of the Welcome Wall were unveiled this year. Well-known chef and restaurateur Stefano Manfredi unveiled 806 new names on panels 33 and 34 at an event held during the Mediterranean Tucker Festival in November. A record 1,500 guests participated in the ceremony and stayed to enjoy the food festival. Panel 35, with another 398 names, was unveiled on Mothers Day 2004 in a ceremony themed around motherhood and migration.

In the past year, 1,493 new names were registered, compared to 1,181 in the same period in the previous year. Excellent print media coverage, especially in ethnic community newspapers, and successful advertising campaigns, especially on SBS radio and television, have increased registrations and awareness of the Welcome Wall, the museum's lasting tribute to the six million people who have migrated from across the seas to make their homes in Australia.

M EM BER S The introduction of the new pricing system in November 2003 presented a challenge to the Members manager and staff. Memberships dropped off in the last two quarters of the year. This was anticipated from the experience of other museums where similar changes have occurred, and the Membership office is focused on reversing the trend. There were 1,622 new Members in the period, bringing total membership at 30 June 2004 to 7,751.

In addition, we welcomed four new corporate Members, bringing the number of corporate supporters to 31.

This year 17,073 Members and their guests visited the museum, with our wide-ranging program of events attracting over 3,000 Members and guests. Membership offers visitors the opportunity to become more closely involved with the museum. Exhibition previews, curators' talks, family activities and ‘on the water’ events are among the most diverse and imaginative of any comparable organisation, with events in the latter category always fully subscribed. Revenue from these functions went some way towards maintaining our budgeted revenue figures following the reduction in membership revenue.

Increasingly, events are conducted jointly with other museum and community organisations.

For example, in the past year our Members joined friends of the Art Gallery of NSW, Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Observatory, Earthwatch, Australian Heritage Fleet and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Members enjoyed the broader interest-base these initiatives afforded.

C O R P O R A TE S U P P O R T The museum continues to benefit from corporate support. Sponsors increasingly express a preference for long rather than short-term partnerships with the museum. As a result we have developed a new strategy and already achieved positive results by offering partnership agreements that continue beyond exhibition viewing dates. This arrangement often gives sponsors more flexibility to partner according to their budgets. In addition, the extended financial period gives sponsors more time to experience the special benefits of museum partnership.

REPUTATION AND RECOGNITION KEY RESULT AREA 4

New sponsor partnerships have been formed this year with market industry leaders Tenix, Raytheon Australia and Lloyd’s Register of Shipping.

VOLU N TEER S At 30 June, the 335 registered volunteers at the museum had contributed 46,180 hours.

The total is 3,140 hours more than for the same period last year, and 15.4% above the museum's target of 40,000 hours. Altogether, since the volunteer program began, volunteers have contributed 368,907 hours - an astonishing achievement.

Volunteer guides escorted 29,216 visitors on 3,678 Vampire tours this year; over 436,355 visitors have been on volunteer guides’ tours of Vampire since the museum opened in November 1991. General museum guides have conducted 2,944 tours, escorting 11,927 visitors. The Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse was re-opened in December last year. Since then volunteer guides have led a total of 242 tours, escorting 5,247 appreciative visitors.

Wharf 7 tour guides have conducted 606 tours, escorting 999 visitors.

Volunteers continue to act as enthusiastic ambassadors for the musem, and bring Australian maritime history vividly to life for the large and appreciative audiences with whom they engage.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS section three

A A u s tra lia n N a tio n a l

Audit Office INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT To the Minister for the Arts and Sports

Scope The financial statements comprise: •

Statement by Council Members;

•

Statements o f Financial Performance, Financial Position and Cash Flows;

•

Schedules o f Commitments and Contingencies; and

•

Notes to and form ing part o f the Financial Statements

o f the Australian National Maritime Museum, for the year ended 30 June 2004.

The Council Members are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation o f the financial statements in accordance with the Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997. This includes responsibility for the maintenance o f adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial statements.

Audit approach I have conducted an independent audit o f the financial statements in order to express an opinion on them to you. M y audit has been conducted in accordance w ith the Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free o f material misstatement. The nature o f an audit is influenced by factors such as the use o f professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability o f persuasive, rather than conclusive, evidence.

Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

While the effectiveness o f management’s internal controls over financial reporting was considered when determining the nature and extent o f audit procedures, the audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Procedures were performed to assess whether, in all material respects, the financial statements present fairly, in accordance with the Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with my understanding o f the M useum’s financial position, and of its performance as represented by the Statements o f Financial Performance and Cash Flows.

The audit opinion is formed on the basis of these procedures, which included: • •

examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; and assessing the appropriateness o f the accounting policies and disclosures used, and the reasonableness o f significant accounting estimates made by the Council Members.

Independence In conducting the audit, I have followed the independence requirements of the Australian National Audit Office, which incorporate Australian professional ethical pronouncements.

Audit Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements: (i) have been prepared in accordance with the Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and applicable Accounting Standards; and (ii) give a true and fair view, o f the matters required by applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the Finance Minister’s Orders, o f the financial position of the Australian National Maritime Museum as at 30 June 2004, and its performance and cash flows for the year then ended.

S U M M AR Y OF SIG N IFICAN T ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1

Basis of Accou n tin g

The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a general purpose financial report.

The statements have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders (being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders (Financial Statements for reporting period ending on or after 30 June 2004)); • Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board; and • Consensus Views of the Urgent Issues Group.

The Statements of Financial Performance and Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position.

Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. Assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are however not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies.

Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Consolidation and associated company. The financial statements show information for the economic entity only; this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National Maritime Museum, and its wholly owned controlled entity, The Australian National Maritime Foundation. The results of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately disclosed.

The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, with an initial contribution of $385,620. See note 23.

The accounting policies of The Australian National Maritime Foundation are consistent with those of the Museum and its assets, liabilities and results have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in accordance with AAS24 - Consolidated Financial Reports. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

1.2

Changes in A cco u n tin g Policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in 2002-2003, except in respect of: • the initial revaluation of property, plant and equipment on a fair value basis (see note 1 . 1 1 ); and • the imposition of an impairment test for non-current assets carried at cost (see note 1.18).

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2003-2004

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 1.3

Revenue

The revenues described in this Note are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the Museum.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the relevant asset.

Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract to provide the service. The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction.

Receivables for goods and services are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collectability of the debt is judged to be less rather than more likely.

Revenues from Government - Output Appropriations The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue.

Resources Received Free o f Charge Services received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of the resources is recognised as an expense.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as revenue at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

1.4

Employee Benefits

Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled.

Liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits), and annual leave are measured at their nominal amounts. Other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of their reporting date are also measured at their nominal amounts.

The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability.

All other employee benefit liabilities are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

72

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEM ENTS FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration, including employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination.

The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2004. In determining the present value of the liability, the Museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

Superannuation Employees contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation Scheme. The liability for their superannuation benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course.

The Museum makes employer contributions to the Australian Government at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the Museum’s employees.

1.5

Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The Museum has no finance leases.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

1.6

Borrow ing Costs

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

1.7

Grants

The Museum recognises grant liabilities as follows.

Most grant agreements require the grantee to perform services or provide facilities, or to meet eligibility criteria. In these cases, liabilities are recognised only to the extent that the services required have been performed or the eligibility criteria have been satisfied by the grantee.

In cases where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing of the agreement.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YE A R ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 1.8

Cash

Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Interest is credited to revenue as it accrues.

1.9

Other Financial Liabilities

Bills of exchange are carried at the amount of their initial proceeds plus accrued interest.

Trade creditors and accruals are recognised at their nominal amounts, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods and services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).

Interest payable is accrued overtim e.

1.10

Acqu isition of Assets

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

1.11

Property (Land and B uildings), and Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment

Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2 ,000 , which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).

Revaluations Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are carried at valuation. Revaluations undertaken up to 30 June 2002 were done on a deprival basis; revaluations since that date are at fair value. This change in accounting policy is required by Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1041.

Revaluation of Non-Current Assets.

Fair and deprival values for each class of assets are determined as shown below.

Linder both deprival and fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. At 30 June 2004, there were no assets in this situation.

NOTES TO AND FORM ING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YE A R ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 Frequency Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are revalued progressively in successive three-year cycles, so that no asset has a value greater than three years old.

The Museum completed its asset revaluation on 30 June 2004, with asset groups updated as follows: • leasehold land and buildings were revalued in 2003-04; • leasehold improvements have been revalued in 2001 - 02 ; • exhibition fitouts have been revalued by type of asset in 2001 - 02 ; • plant and equipment, including information technology equipment, have been revalued by type of asset in 2001 - 02 ; • the National Maritime Collection has been revalued in 2002-03.

There was no change in the valuation of Land and buildings or the National Maritime Collection as a result of adoption of the change of valuation basis required by the above standard.

Assets in each class acquired after the commencement of a progressive revaluation cycle are not captured by the progressive revaluation then in progress.

The Finance Minister’s Orders require that all property, plant and equipment assets be measured at up-to-date fair values from 30 June 2005 onwards. The current year is therefore the last year in which the Museum will undertake progressive revaluations.

Conduct All valuations are conducted by an independent qualified valuer.

Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the Museum using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the unexpired period of the lease.

Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:

The Collection is not depreciated because of its long term nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value.

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 5D. 1.12

Inventories

Inventories held for resale by the Museum store are valued at the lower of costand net realisable value.

1.13

Taxation

The Museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and the goods and services tax (GST).

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST: • except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and • except for receivables and payables.

1.14

Foreign Currency

Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables (if any) are translated at the exchange rates current as at balance date. Associated currency gains and losses are not material.

1.15

Insurance

The Museum has insured for risks through the Government’s insurable risk managed fund, called 'Comcover'. Workers compensation is insured through Comcare Australia.

1.16

Com parative Figures

Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required.

1.17

Rounding

Amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to: • remuneration of council members (note 14); • remuneration of officers (note 16); • remuneration of auditors (note 17); • assets held in trust (note 2 1 ); and • Australian National Maritime Foundation (note 23).

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEM ENTS FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 1.18

Im pairm ent of Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets carried at up-to-date fair value at the reporting date are not subject to impairment testing.

Non-current assets carried at cost or deprival value and held to generate net cash inflows have been tested for their recoverable amounts at the reporting date. The test compared the carrying amounts against the net present value of future net cash inflows. No write-down to recoverable amount was required (2003: nil).

The non-current assets carried at cost or deprival value, which are not held to generate net cash inflows, have been assessed for indications of impairment. Where indications of impairment exist, the carrying amount of the asset is compared to its net selling price and depreciated replacement cost and is written down to its higher of the two amounts, if necessary.

The Museum has no internally developed software.

2.

ADOPTION OF AUS TR ALIAN EQUIVALENTS TO INTERNATIONAL FIN AN CIAL REPORTING STANDARDS FROM 2005-2006

The Australian Accounting Standards Board has issued replacement Australian Accounting Standards to apply from 2005-06. The new standards are the Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) which are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The new standards cannot be adopted early. The standards being replaced are to be withdrawn with effect from 2005-06, but continue to apply in the meantime.

The Australian Equivalents contain certain additional provisions which will apply to notfor-profit entities, including the Australian National Maritime Museum. Some of these provisions are in conflict with the IFRSs and therefore the Musuem will only be able to assert compliance with the Australian Equivalents to the IFRSs. Existing Australian Standards that have no IFRS equivalent will continue to apply.

Accounting Standard AASB 1047 Disclosing the Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to IFRSs requires that the financial statements for 2003-04 disclose: • An explanation of how the transition to the Australian Equivalents is being managed, and • A narrative explanation of the key differences in accounting policies arising from the transition.

Management of the transition to AASB Equivalents to IFRSs The Museum has taken the following steps in preparation towards the implementation of Australian Equivalents: • The Museum’s Audit Committee is tasked with oversight of the transition to and implementation of the Australian Equivalents to IFRSs. The Chief Finance Officer is formally responsible for the project and reports regularly to the Audit Committee on progress against the formal plan approved by the Committee.

• The plan requires the following key steps to be undertaken and sets deadlines for their achievement: • Identification of all major accounting policy differences between current Australian Standards and the Australian Equivalents to IFRSs progressively to 30 June 2004.

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2003-2004

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEM ENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 • Identification of systems changes necessary to be able to report under the Australian Equivalents, including those necessary to enable capture of data under both sets of rules for 2004-05, and the testing and implementation of those changes.

• Preparation of a transitional balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, under Australian Equivalents, • Preparation of an Australian Equivalent balance sheet at the same time as the 30 June 2005 statements are prepared.

• Meeting reporting deadlines set by Finance for 2005-06 balance sheet under Australian Equivalent Standards.

• The plan also addresses the risks to successful achievement of the above objectives and includes strategies to keep implementation on track to meet deadlines.

• To date, all major accounting and disclosure differences and system changes have been identified and the system changes have been tested successfully.

Major changes in accounting policy Changes in accounting policies under AASB Equivalents are applied retrospectively i.e. as if the new policy had always applied. This rule means that a balance sheet prepared under the AASB Equivalents must be made as at 1 July 2004 to allow the opening (IFRS’s) balances to be prepared for the 2 0 04-05 comparatives, except as permitted in particular circumstances by AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. This will enable the 2005-06 financial statements to report 2 0 04-05 comparatives under the AASB Equivalents also.

Changes to major accounting policies are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Property plant and equipment It is expected that the Finance Minister's Orders will require property plant and equipment assets carried at valuation in 2003-04 to be measured at up-to-date fair value from 2005-06. This differs from the accounting policies currently in place for these assets which, up to and including 2003-04, have been revalued progressively over a 3-year cycle and which currently include assets at cost (for purchases since the commencement of a cycle) and at deprival value (which will differ from their fair value to the extent that they have been measured at depreciated replacement cost when a relevant market selling price is not available).

However, it is important to note that the Finance Minister requires these assets to be measured at up-to-date fair values as at 30 June 2005. Further, the transitional provisions in AASB 1 will mean that the values at which assets are carried as at 30 June 2004 under existing standards will stand in the transitional balance sheet as at 1 July 2004.

Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are currently capitalised. It is understood that the FMOs for 2005-06 will elect to expense all borrowing costs under the new Australian Equivalent standard. Accordingly, borrowing costs capitalised as at 1 July 2004 will be written-off to accumulated results.

78

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FIN AN CIAL STATEM ENTS FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 Impairment of Non-Current Assets The Museum’s policy on impairment of non-current assets is at note 1.18.

Under the new Australian Equivalent Standard, these assets will be subject to assessment for impairment and, if there are indications of impairment, measurement of any impairment (impairment measurement must also be done, irrespective of any indications of impairment, for intangible assets not yet available for use). The impairment test is that the carrying amount of an asset must not exceed the greater of (a) its fair value less costs to sell and (b) its value in use. ‘Value in use’ is the net present value of net cash inflows for for-profit assets of the Authority and depreciated replacement cost for other assets which would be replaced if the Museum were deprived of them.

The most significant changes are that, for the Museum's for-profit assets, the recoverable amount is only generally to be measured where there is an indication of impairment and that assets carried at up-to-date fair value, whether for-profit or not, may nevertheless be required to be written down if costs to sell are significant.

Employee Benefits The provision for long service leave is measured at the present value of estimated future cash outflows using market yields as at the reporting date on national government bonds.

Under the new Australian Equivalent standard, the same discount rate will be used unless there is a deep market in high quality corporate bonds, in which case the market yield on such bonds must be used.

ECONOM IC DEPENDENCY

The Australian National Maritime Museum is controlled by the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Museum is dependent on appropriations from the Parliament of the Commonwealth for its continued existence and ability to carry out its normal activities.

APPENDIX 4 MMAPSS GRANTS 2003-2004 One of the museum’s most important cultural outreach programs is the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAPSS), administered by us and jointly funded by the museum and the Australian Government through the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. The grants are awarded to non-profit maritime museums and historical societies, most of them community-based and run by volunteers, to fund restoration, conservation, collection management and exhibition development projects. The scheme was initiated in 1995 and since then 101 projects across all Australian states and most of its territories have been supported. This year, 11 grants totalling $33,120 were awarded.

In addition, a partnership program allows people from smaller regional museums managing maritime heritage collections to spend up to four weeks here developing their skills. In November 2003 Dot Hammond from the Echuca Historical Society was awarded a month’s internship and worked in registration and conservation. Echuca Historical Society itself received a MMAPSS grant for a conservation project which will be enhanced by Dot's experience here.

Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club, NSW: A grant of $4,000 to fund exhibition display cases for an archival collection relating to the surf lifesaving movement, and technological advances in rescue systems and equipment.

More efficient design, better lighting and environmental control and attractive mounting, will give this display more impact and make a better contribution to the lifesaving club's community education program.

Clarence Town Former Court House Historical and Maritime Museum, NSW: Funding of $4,000 to assist a long-term preservation, planning and materials protection project for this museum’s collection of maps, diaries and navigation reports from the early settlement of Clarence Town, where colonial Australia’s first ocean-going steamship was built in 1831.

Echuca Historical Society, Vic: $4,000 to fund a preservation survey, collection assessment, training and advice for the conservation of the society's collection of photographs relating to riverboats and barges.

Many are rare and fragile and the grant will ensure their preservation and accessibility for researchers.

Hay Gaol Museum, NSW: An award of $2,000 to employ a conservator to work on the Wiradjuri bark canoe in the museum's care, and provide interpretation labels for a proposed public display. In addition to assisting Hay Gaol to look after the maritime heritage collection relating to the Murrumbidgee River, the project is expected to provide a benchmark for community museums in rural NSW on the care of Indigenous cultural material.

Kingscote Area School Marine Studies, SA: $1,120 to digitise an important collection of marine archives dealing with South Australian shipping incidents from 1837 to 1899. Conversion to electronic form will preserve the extensive collection of documents and photographs for use by archaeological and genealogical researchers. The archiving will be carried out by students from the school and related to the curriculum.

Port Albert Maritime Museum, Vic: $3,500 to be spent on the restoration the Citadel Island lighthouse mantle. The lighthouse, in the Glennie group of islands, off the southern end of Wilsons Promontory,

was the first to be constructed by the Commonwealth Lighthouse Service, in 1913. Once restored, the mantle will complement other significant Bass Strait lighthouse material already on display.

Port of Echuca Authority, Vic: $3,000 to employ a mentor for ten months to develop policies and oversee the work of volunteers in cataloguing the historic artefacts owned by the Port of Echuca Authority.

Port Welshpool & District Maritime Museum, Vic: $3,000 to install a dehumidifier to help prevent deterioration of paper documents and charts relating to the Corner Inlet area, preserving these valuable records of the navigation practices of past eras. The museum’s proximity to seawater, the climate, and storage in an old building place the documents at high risk of deterioration.

Runnymede Com mittee, National Trust of Australia, Tas: $3,000 will complete the restoration of an oil painting (about 1873) by R B Spencer of the whaleship Solar Globe. The painting is one Runnymede’s collection of seven oils of ships owned by the Tasmanian Bayley brothers, most painted by Spencer. The restoration will add to the enjoyment of visitors to the historic house museum.

Western Australian Museum - Geraldton, WA: A grant of $3,000 will help develop a public interpretation program for the replica of the Batavia longboat. The grant will cover research and design for three plaques describing the shipwreck of the Dutch East Indiaman off WA in 1629, the subsequent voyage by the ship’s longboat to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies, and the building of the replica. The plaques will be accessible to visually impaired audiences - a ‘first’ for cultural heritage signage in Geraldton - and demountable, for display at other venues.

Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania Inc, Tas: An award of $2,500 to develop a public education program for the Tasmanian yacht Terra Linna (a Huon pine yacht built around 1880andarareexampleof local design requirements).

The award will fund a writer, web designer, graphic designer and educator, as well as the design and construction of the model, and production of exhibition posters and brochures.
