Visual Arts
1950
Parade
A master colourist predominantly in watercolour and gouache, John Borrack has described his art as “a celebration of the natural world and its wonders that are all around us”. He has been described as “something of a maverick, a man who has
dedicated the last 50 years of his life to the pursuit
of a pure, spiritual expression”.
John and his wife, Gillian, have campaigned against the Plenty Valley
growth corridor. “It can be devastating to see the landscape I love disappear,” John, now in his late 70s, says of the spread of housing at Mernda, a setting that has inspired him since he first settled there as a boy and which he has painted since the mid-1950s. John has studied and painted in Australia, Europe and the United States. His major solo exhibitions have featured in most Australian galleries. He is a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute and has a Diploma Fine Arts (RMIT). His book, In Praise of Landscape: The Art of John Borrack, published by Macmillan Art Publishing, is available from November 9, 2012. Awarded the F.E. Richardson Prize for Watercolour by the Geelong Art Gallery. Awarded the Cato Prize for Watercolour (jointly with Len Annois), at the Victorian Artists’ Society Autumn Exhibition. Awarded the Norman Brothers Prize for watercolour at the Victorian Artists’ Society Spring Exhibition. National Gallery of Victoria purchases - Heavitree Gap, Alice Springs. Awarded Norman Brothers Prize at the Victorian Artists’ Society Exhibition.

Desmond Bradley was considered the world's leading lead violinist for two decades. He was lead violinist for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the directorship of Sir Adrian Boult. Considered a child prodigy, he went to France to study at the age of 16 in 1949. Prior to his departure, Desmond attended St Bernard's College and played for many important school functions. Desmond Bradley passed away in 1992 at the age of 58 leaving a wife and 3 sons. He was indicated into the St Bernard's College Hall Of Fame in 2009. Caddy, John
Music
1950
Parade
Nearly 50 years of formal experience was appropriately recognised on Australia Day 2004, when 68 year-old John, the St Patrick’s Cathedral cantor, was awarded an Order of Australia Medal ‘For service to choral music, particularly liturgical music through St Patrick's Cathedral Choir’.
By the age of 20 John, a carpenter by trade, decided that he wanted to take singing more seriously. However with regular singing lessons proving too costly, he sang for a scholarship at the Melbourne University Conservatorium of Music, and was subsequently granted two years free tuition under well-known musician Henry Portnoj. Shortly after,
Portnoj encouraged John to join the St Patrick’s Cathedral Choir, where Conservatorium Vice-Director Dr Percy Jones was Director of Music. Since joining the Cathedral Choir in 1957, the list of achievements John has compiled has been impressive. He has sung for six of Melbourne’s eight Archbishops (from Mannix to present); in the early 1970s he joined the Tudor Choristers, with whom he sang in several solo roles, including ‘the Evangelist’ in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Later, he was engaged by Melbourne Choral to sing the tenor solos of Handel’s Messiah. Although hesitant to single out a favourite
performance, John recounts his role as cantor at the official mass for Pope John Paul II's visit to Melbourne in 1986, held at Flemington Racecourse, as “a great honour, and certainly the biggest occasion”. Cincotta, Dominic

He worked on a number of international cruise liners and played lead roles in many theatre productions including, ‘Jesus Christ Super Star’, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat’, ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’, ‘Always Patsy Cline’ and ‘City of Angles’. Dominic was also the lead singer for the group “Cul;ture Shock’ and the group ‘Eclipse’ (Sony Music) who had a top twenty single with the cover song ‘The look of Love’ in the 90’s. He has also made frequent appearances on many Australian TV shows including ‘Good Morning Australia’, Hey Hey it’s Saturday’, ‘Mission Impossible’, ‘Boys from the Bush’ and the lead vocalist for the ‘Good Friday Appeal’. He has been celebrated as a top Australian singing sensation. Cocks, Michael
Music
1972
Parade
Michael Thomas (“Mick”) Cocks was an Australian musician most noted for his guitar and songwriting work with the iconic rock band Rose Tattoo. His original sound and style heavily influenced Guns N’ Roses, who recorded a cover of the band’s song “Nice Boys”. He was also a member of Heaven, The Headhunters, Illustrated Men, Doomfoxx, Pete Wells Heart Attack and the Ted Mulry Gang. Raised in Fairfield and schooled at Parade with his younger brother Shane, Mick completed his fifth form education at Bundoora in 1971. On New Year’s eve 1976, not long after Rose Tattoo was formed in Sydney, the band, whose members included Mick on rhythm guitar and “Angry” Anderson on lead vocals, played publicly for the first time at the rock club Chequers. In 1996, Rose Tattoo was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame. Tragically, liver cancer claimed Mick’s life at the age of 54 - just a few short months after his final concert appearance with Rose Tattoo at a benefit held in his honour at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre. On Mick’s passing, Anderson said of the man: “He’s one of a vanishing kind. He’ll be remembered as long as people play his songs, and he’ll be remembered for his loving nature and a genuine lust for life”. Cummins, John

Music
1998
Parade
Born in Bruges, Belgium, in 1980, Wouter migrated to Australia with his family when he was two years old. They first resided in Sydney, New South Wales before settling in Montmorency, Victoria. His parents chose to use the English variation of his name, Walter, when enrolling him in school. As a youth, Walter displayed a passion for music, learning various instruments, most notably piano and drums. In his teens, De Backer formed the band Downstares with three of his College friends,
including Lucas Taranto (who still plays in his Gotye live shows). The first seeds of Gotye were planted when Walter was given a large collection of old records. An elderly neighbour, having heard Downstares rehearsing over the years, gave his then- recently deceased wife's LP record collection to De Backer. He’s the Aria award winner, whose megahit “Somebody I used to Know” and spectacularly- successful Making Mirrors album has afforded him citizen-of-the-world status. In July 2011, Walter released a film clip for the song “Somebody That I Used to Know” on YouTube and Vimeo. Directed by Natasha Pincus, the video has now been viewed over 301 million times (as of August 2012). The video is the Number 17 most viewed video of all-time on YouTube and the Number 4 most liked video of all-time. In October that year, it was announced that Walter had been nominated for seven ARIA Awards. Due to the release date restrictions of the eligibility period, Making Mirrors could not be nominated, and the seven nominations all related to “Somebody That I Used to Know”. Walter was nominated for Highest Selling Single, Single of the Year, Best Pop Release, Best Male Artist and three awards in the ARIA Artisan category: Best Video (Natasha Pincus), Engineer of the Year (Francois Tetaz) and Producer of the Year (Walter De Backer). On the same day the nominations were revealed, the winners of the Artisan categories were announced, with Walter and the album personnel winning all three. In November 2011, Walter won three ARIA Awards - Best Male Artist, Best Pop Release and Single of the Year for "Somebody That I Used to Know". Kimbra, who collaborated with Gotye on the song, also won the ARIA award for Best Female Artist. Walter performed the song on Saturday Night Live in April 2012 along with "Eyes Wide Open". These collective performances helped the single to reach Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending April 28, giving Walter his first US Number 1 single; the first Australian artist to reach Number 1 in the US since Savage Garden in 2000. In April 2012, "Somebody That I Used to Know" broke a 47-year-old record in the Netherlands by becoming the most successful song in the history of the Dutch charts. Donovan, Jason

Australian painter renowned for his portrait work, Vincent Fantauzzo has worked and exhibited worldwide with shows in India, Vietnam, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Australia. Born in 1977 in the UK, as a child he moved to Melbourne with his family. Vincent graduated from RMIT (Melbourne) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, and then moved on to complete his Masters of Fine Arts at RMIT University. Vincent often paints figures in the pictorial space and draws upon techniques used in other mediums such as photography and film to create a narrative. Through the use of contrasting elements of light and dark, shadows and colours, he creates depth in his images and heightens the realism and theatrical effect. In 2008 Vincent’s entry into the
Archibald Portrait Prize of the late Heath Ledger won him the runner-up and the People’s Choice award. In 2009 his entry of the child actor Brandon Walters in Baz Luhrmann’s epic ‘Australia’ again won him the People’s Choice award. More recently, Vincent won the Archibald Prize Packing Room Prize and the Doug Moran Portrait Prize and was a finalist for the Metro Art Award.

Ivan Joseph Hutchinson, the renowned music arranger/pianist and television critic whose career spanned four decades, once described himself as the “definitive reluctant TV star”. Born in Melbourne, Ivan’s father was an Anzac who had been wounded in World War I and continued in t he Army until his retirement in the late 1950s. Ivan grew up in Fitzroy where he at t ended t he local St. Bridget ’s Primary, St. Thomas’ Clifton Hill and, in his final year (1944), Parade College East Melbourne. An accomplished pianist from his childhood days, Ivan joined HSV Channel 7 in 1960, in the pioneering days of Australian television. He plied his craft as a piano player with the station’s orchestra in variety shows including “Sunnyside Up”, children’s programs such as “The Happy Show” with Happy Hammond, and “Time For Terry”. Aside from music, Ivan’s other passion was movies, with much of his spare time spent at cinemas and penning his own reviews. 1971 found him approaching Seven management with his own proposition, along with fellow Melbourne film critic Jim Murphy, to host what would become Australia’s first movie review program “Two On The Aisle”. The loyal following this program generated made Ivan increasingly well known as an on-air movie critic, and when the show ended in late 1974, Seven executives suggested he become a movie presenter and host the midday movies. Ivan continued working until sudden and untimely illness forced him to retire in December 1994. When he died, tributes that followed best reflected the depth and breadth of his influence, the affection he evoked and the high esteem in which he was held. Jackson, Paul

Born in Melbourne, 1954, Vella's diverse output includes works in many musical genres - for orchestra, large ensemble, choir, film, chamber music, burlesque cabaret, music theatre, site-specific
performances, and popular music genres. Vella was founding artistic director of Calculated Risks Opera Productions. Calculated Risks has premiered three of his major works, Tales of Love (1991/2002), The Last Supper (1993) and Bodysongs: the Fatman Tour (1998). These works have toured nationally and internationally in various formats. Publications discussing his performance work are Arias: Recent Australian Music Theatre (Redhouse Editions, 1997) and The Oxford Dictionary of Australian Music (Bebbington Warren (Ed), Oxford University Press, 1998). Since 2002 Vella has been Adjunct Professor in Music and Sound in the Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology supervising PhD candidates and conducting research. He has been invited to be Visiting and Consulting Professor of Music to many institutions in the areas of research and undergraduate curriculum development. Between 1992 and 1996 Vella devised and implemented an interdisciplinary postgraduate and undergraduate music program within the School of Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Electronics at Macquarie University. From 1989 to 2001, Richard was director and commissioning editor for music with Currency Press, Sydney.

In 2003, a new edition of this book entitled Sounds in Space Sounds in Time was published by Boosey and Hawkes, UK. Vella's music is lyrically and rhythmically engaging. His music creates a sense of deja vu and irony in his blending of contemporary approaches and forms with styles that seemingly sound familiar. The results are sound worlds that are both timeless and rich in reference. Many of his works are now recognised as set repertoire such as his Tango, for clarinet, and the guitar solos Between Earth and Air and Mirrors of Fire. His film credits include Light Years, Parklands, Renzo Piano: piece by piece (for which he won the 1999 Australian Screen Composer's Award for best music for a documentary) and Mr. Strehlow's Films.

Morris West was an Australian novelist and playwright, best known for his novels The Devil's Advocate (1959), The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963) and The Clowns of God (1981). West's works were often focused on international politics and the role of the Roman Catholic Church in international affairs. One of his best known works, The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963), described the election and career of a Slav as Pope, 15 years before the historic election of Karol Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II. The sequel, The Clowns of God, described a successor Pope, who resigned the papacy to live in seclusion. Wood, Angus
