Thanks to @VickiPotter for her beautiful 'Roses from the Heart' bonnet tribute acknowledging the life of Marg Kennedy from Galway.

Marg was journeying from Cork, Ireland to New South Wales, Australia aboard the 'Neva' when it became ship-wrecked off the coast of King Island in Bass Strait, 13.05.1835.

Marg Kennedy's life ended abruptly in this catastrophe.

Just 22 years old there is no record of her conviction. Her crime is unknown, similarly her sentence.

Little was Marg to know as she boarded ship along with 244 others on 8 January 1835 that her life would end so cruelly.

In the accompanying note that Vicki included with her bonnet she writes that in creating this memento for Marg Kennedy from Galway, she chose a maroon coloured fabric and white lace to reference the colours of the Galway flag.

The lace that Vicki has worked was also specifically chosen. Vicki is a lacemaker and she has created this band of Headford Lace honouring Marg Kennedy's connection to Galway.

To learn more on the History of Headford Lace check:

http://headfordlaceproject.ie/research

Especially interesting is Norma Owens articles: 'History of Headford Lace' and 'Two Queens Purchase Headford Lace'.

Headford lace dates back to 1765.

It is particularly relevant adding this lace to Marg Kennedy's bonnet as the lace was being created during her lifetime.

Dutch Lacemaker Jackie Magnin worked the pattern from sighting a sample of Headford Lace and now she teaches others. Since 1996 Jackie has lived in Ireland. However there was a time when Jackie travelled to Australia. During that visit she chose to live in Hobart, Tasmania. Although I don't think we met then, I have learned she was friends with people who were also my friends. Small world! We finally met when the 'Headford Lace Project' Committee collaborated with me on my 'Roses from the Heart' bonnet tribute and I travelled to Ireland. It's wonderful to know lacemakers such as Vicki are now joining in the revival of this significant Headford Lace art. It's particularly relevant that the Irish Minister @catlmartingreen has included Headford Lace in the recent State recognition listing of 8 further key practices of 'Irelands Living Cultural Heritage'.

This 'Roses from the Heart' bonnet tribute for Marg Kennedy will be on display at Glen Derwent, New Norfolk on November 12/13, 2022, as part of the @bonnetsandboats event.

All the women and children aboard the 'Neva' will be remembered at this significant event through the creation of a 'Roses from the Heart' bonnet and also through renown sculptor Lee Farrell's special artistic tributes.

Let's swim to the moon. Let's climb through the tide. Surrendered to the waiting worlds. That lap against our side. Jim Morrison King Island. Less than an acre in size, sits off the coast of Wellington Point. At high tide, it's an island. At low tide, the island joins the point. At the lowest tide, you can easily navigate between the two via a sandbar. My epic experience will come to an end tomorrow as I begin to travel home (although I anticipate the trip home to be an experience unto itself). While this is not the termination point I expected, the lessons I have learned and the strength I have gained during this journey will not be diminished. It has been an emotionally charged few weeks for me, as it has been for many of you. One day I may share the stories of these weeks, but for now I will say....at these lowest of times, I feel so connected to the people across the globe that I love. More to follow as I navigate this journey home..... #recommence #carryonwithkelley #THISbringsmejoy #fuckcancer #storytelling #traveltheworldwithme #australia #brisbane #wellingtonpoint #kingisland #lowtide (at King Island Conservation Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B989U28gBDi/?igshid=gl29aevrpois

KING ISLAND FARM TOURS, MEET YOUR BEEF: Double cooked King Island beef in Tasmanian stout with Duchess potatoes and gremolata. We had an excellent farm tour and learned so much about cattle and their life cycle. Our host Ana was such a delight. This is a must do for your list when going to King Island. The meal was sooooooo good. This dish was perfection and a credit to Ana. Massive amount of flavour and a generous serve. It was truly a delightful day. #kingisland #kingislandbeef #kingislandfarmtours @kingislandfarmtours #beef #duchesspotatoes #foodporn #food #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodphotos #kingislandfood #tasmania #tasmanianfood #tasmanianfoodie #tasmanianfoodexperience #farm #farmhousekitchen #cooking #farmtour #hobartfoodgirl #delicious #deliciousfood #perfecthospitality #willcomeagain https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Y85xkhFlt/?igshid=1ho4yttzfdlpg

King Island Scheelite completes feasibility study on the Dolphin zone

King Island Scheelite completes feasibility study on the Dolphin zone

King Island Scheelite (ASX:KIS) has now completed an updated reserve estimate on its Dolphin tungsten project, and used this new reserve estimate as starting point for a feasibility study which envisages producing 3,500 tonnes of WO3 concentrate per year.

The average recovery rate is anticipated to be 77% which means that the current 3 million tonnes at 0.73% WO3 will result in a total…

“Martha Lavinia is etched into surfing folklore. “She” is iconic and recognised worldwide as a rare place of uniqueness and pristine beauty …an unlikely and irreplaceable creation of nature. Preservation of Martha for future generations is not negotiable". - Guy, King Island We just returned from King Island, Tasmania with Surfrider Ambassador, @barton_lynch & @supermarkart where we met with the local community to hear their views on the proposed @tassalsalmon fish farms threatening Martha Lavinia Beach's surf break. Their views were unanimous - No to fish farms on King Island. Not only do these farms threaten the world famous surf break but the broader community is also extremely concerned about the threat of disease, fish escapes and increased predators in the water that threaten not only their livelihoods but the reasons they choose to live in one of the most beautiful and pristine parts of the world. They fish, dive or surf daily and this would be threatened by an outside company coming in to capitalise on the natural, pristine conditions. Please help us fight for Martha's as part of our endangered waves programme. Help out your fellow surfers. Your break could be next. #longlivemarthas #savemarthalavinia #endangeredwaves #surfrideraus #surfrider #saveourwave #kingisland #surfing #surf #paperseastudios #tracksmag #surfingworld #surfingmagazine #surfingworldmagazine #monsterchildren #hurleyaustralia #aquatech #nikonaustralia #profotob2 #lasolite (at King Island)
