Creating the Parthenon on the Hill; establishment and early life of the Armidale Teachers’ College

On 17 February 2018 I gave a public lecture to mark the opening of the permanent exhibition at the New England Regional Art Museum of the Hinton Collection. I described this briefly in First reflections on the opening of NERAM's permanent exhibition of the Hinton collection.

I have now brought the talk on line on my history blog: Creating the Parthenon on the Hill; establishment and early life of the Armidale Teachers’ College

This blog is dedicated to the history, life and culture of Australia's New England, that part of Australia stretching from the Hunter Valley through to the Queensland border and incorporating the Hunter Valley, the Mid North Coast, the Northern Rivers, the New England Tablelands, Slopes and Western Plains.

While New England has still to achieve formal political identity, it has its own character and identity and is, in the words of the Australian poet A D Hope, an ideal in the heart and mind.
