4th Unlock the Past Cruise 2014
Join me on the 4th Unlock the Past Genealogy Cruise on 4th February 2014:
** MEDIA RELEASE**
Unlock the Past Cruises
(international) launched
Adelaide, South Australia, 25
June 2013 - Unlock the Past announces Unlock the Past Cruises, an
international program of history and genealogy cruises. This expanded cruise
commitment follows on from the success of the first three Unlock the Past
cruises, high interest in the fourth in February 2014 and a proposed mid 2015
cruise from the UK/Europe to the Baltic. Now there is more choice:
•
more cruises to choose from - two to four a year
•
more and varied itineraries - anywhere in the world, wherever there is enough
interest
•
more price levels to suit different budgets - starting from under $1000
•
more varied programs - some full conference programs with many presenters,
others much smaller
• some conference focused,
others more destination/itinerary focused
The fourth cruise in February
2014 is booking strongly. Further cruises under consideration include:
• a
British Isles discovery cruise in mid 2014
• a
smaller regional cruise from an Australian port or Auckland - Sydney late 2014
or early 2015
• a
major Baltic cruise from UK/Europe mid 2015
• a
transatlantic cruise November 2015
• an Australia - New Zealand
cruise early 2016
Unlock the Past cruises combine
relaxing cruises with world class history & genealogy conferences. All
major conference cruises feature an international team of presenters and a
program with international appeal. Shorter cruises will also have leading
presenters. Some cruises are more conference focused. Others more on the
destination and places visited.
What a fantastic and wonderful
experience it has been. Great speakers and a good variety of topics. I now know
that I am on the right track with my research. I was travelling solo yet felt I
was part of a warm and friendly group. Thank you. - Lauretta Nobes, 3rd
cruise

… you did a fantastic job … Congratulations. - Malcolm & Hazel Ford, 3rd

Bring your camera and
take a photograph of yourself or a friend behind our picture boards of nursing
uniforms from the past.
The professional identity of nurses has long been defined by beds, uniforms, sutures, bandages and the nursing practices
associated with them.
Hospital
beds and how they are made have always been a talking point for patients in
hospitals. Tight sheets underneath the
patient and equally as tight sheets over the patient – not necessarily made for
comfort! Come and see a display of
various types of hospital beds and learn about the many different styles, their
purposes and how to make them. A number
of miniature hospital beds will be on display showing the different types of beds
and bedmaking. A display of bandaging
used by nurses will also be on show and you can have a try at doing some of
these bandages yourself. A fascinating array of sutures and needles used within
hospitals will also be on display.

Like this blog my input is sporadic at best.
After spending most days on the computer writing, writing, writing, answering emails, updating my webpage (www.writingfamilyhistory.com.au) and then more writing...the thought of puttings something on facebook, the blog or youtube does make for more work.....hmmmmm but there it is, it is a wonderful way to interact with the world...with colleagues and with friends, despite that:
I love books, I love newspapers, and i love to sit quietly in an armchair with a book, with a newspaper or magazine and and leave the computer alone....for a while

Writing my childhood
Always my childhood has been about place; the spaces I walked in and through as a child are the windows through which I see that past. And I continue to return there, to walk through the deserted farmscapes imagining them as they were once, beginning here with the gothic, uneasy grandeur of the Australian bush. But then there are the people. My parents. A childhood, a life story is nothing without people.
