23 Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC visiting an artist's residence, Iseh, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977.
Walter Spies was an amazing fellow, however rightly or wrongly he interpreted Bali and its culture. I liked his veranda too and could have spent a little more time there pondering his taro pond. The architecture of the residence demonstrated that the man appreciated how to live and work well in a warm climate. Spies was also a selfless man who encouraged art and music and helped Balinese artists establish themselves in a blended style that was unique to themselves. He made it possible for them to enter a Western economy where art became a product as much as an achievement -- and food was put on the artists' tables as a result.
Spies was always on the edge of scandal, as a temperamental artist should be. He was arrested in 1939 during a crackdown on homosexuals. His many influential friends and admirers managed to secure his release however.
Regrettably he could not escape the politics of the Europe that he had abandoned. As a German national Spies was arrested and deported by the Dutch administration in 1942. The Japanese unfortunately sank the ship carrying him to Sri Lanka and he perished along with most of the other deportees. A sad end for a talented and generous man.

Ocean Beach SLSC. Finished at last. The outside anyways. The inside looks semi-finished. (November 2007)
T'other one, Umina Beach SLSC down the road a bit, is still being landscaped and having tiles done downstairs.
We called in for morning coffee at the Pantry Beachside.
Cape Hawke Surf Lifesaving Club was formally founded on 27th December, 1978 and affiliated with Surf Life Saving Australia in March 1979. There was a need for trained lifesavers, so a dedicated group of volunteers began patrols using equipment loaned from Forster Surf Life Saving Club and Great Lakes Council.
84 Farewell BBQ for Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC instructional tour at Waja SLSC, Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977
Barry Magnus was pipped at the post by Topknot. Made was ecstatic at the win, cheering loudly. We could not remember Topknot's name and we dubbed him 'Topknot' after his coiffure. Apparently the topknot identified him as a powerful shaman. He was not a Brahmin priest but rather it was his duty to combat black magic. The Balinese and most Indonesians believed implicitly that a great Manichean struggle between Light and Dark was playing out about them. Topknot was a warrior in that struggle and he would conduct exorcisms of people and places in order to restore things to balance. While this concept of imbalance being external to people was fascinating this was a worldview I did not share, being convinced that my greatest struggle was against myself and that I was my own worst enemy. Doubtless the Indonesians would have found my Calvinist opinions equally fascinating and foreign.
Apart from his battling those who practice the dark arts and the demons that they conjured up Topknot was an excellent masseur. He would have Guri (Gookie) Lluka bellowing in agony as he twisted and manipulated his muscles and joints. Despite accusations of intended homicide by Topknot Gookie was continually back for more. The two would spar like sumo wrestlers and on one occasion they arm wrested on the sand. I would have to say that neither had the better of the other as they were of equal strength and skill.
SLSC anchorage and dock at Kaydeross location. The sunfish at the dock were there for the annual sunfish regatta that the club hosted at that time. The large anchored boat is Bernie Dunn's Celebrity with family members in and around it. A tranquil scene about to be transformed! Hidinger photos edited by Hunter Currin
21 Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC visiting an artist's residence, Iseh, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977.
We visited a famous artist's residence at Iseh. I fail to recall his name. Not that it mattered, as the Western artists resident in Bali shared houses or occupied them serially. It is likely that most of the 20th Century Western artists lived in this house at some point. There was little art to be seen and the few carvings on display were common enough in Australian gardens. The house and grounds disappointed me as things seemed so predictable -- but perhaps my youthful judgment was too harsh. I may have failed to note that the pieces were the originals on which the designs of millions of bland garden ornaments were later based.
Bali -- the concept rather than the island -- is at least in part a Western invention. The European and Mexican artists who flocked there after the Dutch East India Company subdued the local rajas in the first decade of the 20th Century found a unique, rich culture and set about interpreting it. This interpretation influenced Balinese art and music, which of course only confirmed the artists' own interpretation of Bali as an earthly paradise as correct.
Foremost among the Western artists were men like the German Walter Spies and the Swiss Theo Meier. These were people of the generation shattered by the Great War, people who sought innocence and tranquility away from the wreck and ravages of Europe. They were Gauguins of the 20th Century seeking Rousseauian Noble Savages. Their art cemented Bali in the Western mind as just such a place and began the influx of Western tourists. The view was erroneous, conveniently overlooking the often-turbulent history and social inequality of Bali.
The artists might be called 'Orientalists' by critics today and accused of ascribing other than normal human motives and values to 'exotic', 'innocent' natives in a manner that was at once fantastical and patronizing. Of course the critics who make the accusations are absolutely free of any blemish, bias or folly themselves, which eminently equips them to criticize.

28 Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC training Indonesians in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Waja SLSC, Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977
The ABC of lifesaving, 'Airway, Breathing, Circulation', makes perfect sense in English. Our challenge was how to move proven training techniques into a different linguistic and cultural context. We seemed to succeed as the trainees found ways to grasp and remember concepts and mnemonic acronyms presented to them in English and from English language textbooks.
The redoubtable Australian surf lifesavers' Blue Book with its encyclopedia of information was never far away during instruction, and if the text at times posed difficulties of comprehension for the Indonesians the excellent illustrations spoke in any language. I always thought of the Blue Book as a product of a Soviet Design Bureau. The genius of the Bureaus was to understand that once a design left their office it would be completely in the hands of disinterested incompetents who would take it through manufacture, use, and on to disposal. Designs therefore had to be simple as well as effective. Witness the AK47 Kalashnikov assault rifle, the T55 tank and the Soyuz space capsule. Venerable, proven products that most simpletons can use effectively. The Blue Book was a good example of complex information presented in an easily comprehensible manner.
