Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author m

Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author may have the perfect new novel for you. 👻

Whether they believe in ghosts or not, Canberra author JJ Carpenter says every Australian seems to know a supernatural story.

There’s something inherently ghostly and spiritual about Australia, she says, and even though she doesn’t know how to define a ghost, she is sure they are real.

“When I was a kid, it was absolutely terrifying, I would wake up in the middle of the night and there’d be someone sitting at the end of my bed, and I wouldn’t be able to move,” says JJ.

“You don’t think about them as ghosts when you’re a kid, it’s just something that’s sort of happening.”

This month JJ published her first book, a ghost story titled The Corner of Her Eye.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, arts editor Helen Mu

On a recent Sunday afternoon, arts editor Helen Musa joined a crowd in Queanbeyan for Rebus Theatre’s screening of their film, Re-Emergence: Every Storm Gives Way To A New Sunrise.
Made by the company in the south coast and around Queanbeyan, it was the result of the culmination of more than three years of work with disabled actors in regional NSW, asking the question, “how do we emerge from bushfires, COVID19, drought and other disruptions over recent years?”
So, although superficially about re-emergence from covid, storms and the 2019-20 Black Summer, the film has the much deeper intention of showing how people with physical and intellectual disabilities can re-emerge from the most dangerous condition of all – a sense of isolation.
Queanbeyan River and The Hive arts centre on Crawford Street, used as the backdrop for a variety of exploration, have never looked so good as they do in this film. 🎥

It’s been a hundred years since Frederick Walter

It’s been a hundred years since Frederick Walter Robinson published what is believed to be Canberra’s first book. 📖

Arguably a little premature, he titled it Canberra’s First Hundred Years and it was published in April 1924.

Susan Thomas, assistant curator at the UNSW Canberra Special Collections says the book sees Robinson lament the demolition of early settler buildings.

He also outlines his support for the use of local indigenous names in the new construction plans for Canberra, which Susan says is a testament to his curiosity of the pre-colonial history of the region.

Susan says her favourite of Robinson’s name suggestions is Guruguma, meaning west wind.

“I was born in Canberra and grew up here, even though I live in Bungendore, and that west wind is really a thing,” she says.

“He’s really thinking about the place and wanting to preserve those links.”

But, Susan says, it wasn’t until about five years ago that the special collections team really understood the book’s significance.

“We had a visit from the librarian of the Fryer Library at the University of Queensland,” she says.

“We knew that the Fryer Library had been set up by Frederick Robinson, so we just looked on our catalogue and here was this book, written by Frederick Robinson, so we pulled it off the shelf.

“It was only when we opened it that we realised we had Robinson’s own signed copy, because he signed it at the front and dedicated it to the Royal Military College (RMC).”
