Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of 31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force.
A week after enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children: Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill).
The wider collection of glass plate negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

Preliminary Report on Unidentified Object 92002, "The Chiron Derelict"
I created a video to demonstrate the (hand-cranked) flickering backlight of the Neuronal Node. (This is the Director's Cut - if you saw the video when I posted earlier pictures, the music is better now and the whole thing has been reworked. The video is over on YouTube, because Flickr's video player doesn't seem to work very well.) Enjoy!
Discovered by a robot probe exploring the minor planet 2060 Chiron, object 92002 appears to be nothing less than an interstellar spacecraft of nonhuman origin.
The relevant probe imagery was suppressed, and an unprecedented manned exploration mission was dispatched to investigate the artifact.
Adrift, apparently long abandoned, the vessel is nonetheless far from lifeless. Indeed, the ship itself is alive. It shows every indication of being a complex colony organism composed of many disparate subunits, which the exploration team calls "nodes".
This appears to be no natural space-going lifeform, but a deliberately assembled combination of biomechanoid modules. Most of the nodes are so completely self-contained, so tightly specialized, and so efficient at their functions, that they must have been genetically engineered with near godlike skill.
This "neuronal" node appears to be a small-scale neural network, equivalent in decision-making power to perhaps a few dozen biological neurons. These nodes - many thousands of them, no two exactly alike - are part of a larger apparent network that covers the derelict's surface in complex stripes and webs, integrating other types of nodes at times.
Many of the derelict's neuronal nodes seem to be still active, even when excised and placed in shielded storage. There are dark patches, but it would be prudent to assume that the derelict as a whole may be, even now, intelligent and aware.
The unexpected discovery of such an advanced alien artifact so close to Earth is alarming, and the apparent abandonment of the vessel by its presumed crew is hardly reassuring. If they - whoever they are - are not still on board...where did they go?
This is an illuminated alien/organic greeble study for Greeble De Mayo 2015, Week Three.

This image was scanned from a postcard in an album belonging to Francis Richard (Frank) Moore (1878-1964), whose family was based at Bishop's Bridge near Maitland, New South Wales at the time the postcard was sent. Mr Moore was a teacher who taught in schools in northern NSW and in Sydney. The postcards were collected at the turn of the twentieth century.
After Mr Moore's death, the album passed to his sister, Eliza Jane Keily, née Moore (1890-1968). The image is published here with permission of the family.

Academic staff of three Schools of the University have been working together to assist
a Hunter Valley school in its efforts to establish a 'Health Promoting School'.
The Schools of Health, Medicine and Education have been working co-operatively to help Kurri Kurri Public School develop approaches to creating a greater awareness of health issues, particularly of heart health through an innovative curriculum for Year 6 school students.
The initiative is in response to parent requests for health education programs to be conducted in conjunction with the curriculum and are to be linked with the school canteen in an effort to provide healthier food choices. Local community groups are offering their support of the program. A $500 donation for development has been provided by the Alcan Aluminium Smelter.
The program was launched recently by the Mayor of Cessnock, Alderman Maree Callaghan. Support for the program was provided by the University's Department of Health and Physical Education. Students John Russell, a member of the Newcastle
Breakers Soccer Team; Jane Nixon, under 21 Hockey Representative and Mark Curry, Australian Country Cricket Representative, provided examples of games which are fun to play and which form a basis for a healthy lifestyle.
The program is currently being evaluated, with pre-testing underway at Kurri Kurri public School. A control is being conducted at Telarah Public School. The Department of Health and Physical Education is coordinating the health related fitness testing which is being supervised by lecturer, Dr Ashley Woodcock. Student attitudes to health and their self-reported behaviours are being measured by a questionnaire developed by Dr Ron Plotnikoff from the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics within the School of Medicine. Gains in knowledge are being monitored by Mr Phil Williams from the Department of Holistic Health. Phil, who is co-ordinating the University involvement, says that community involvement in the program is high. He says that the Coalfields Healthy Heartbeat Project and the Newcastle Branch of the Heart Foundation are working together to provide a range of programs which have been requested by parenrts of Year 6
students.
"These range from courses which provide skills for selecting and preparing low fat foods, exercise and stop smoking programs," Phil says. "I believe the co-operation and participation by Kurri Kurri Public School, the local community and the University Schools of Health, Medicine and Education is unique. Even though the project is still
in its pilot phase, I anticipate that the ideas and principles generated will be disseminated to other schools in the area: he says.
