Amy speaks with Tom Harley, great grandson of former Prime Minister Alfred Deakin, and Emeritus Professor of Politics Judith Brett. They talk about the Save Ballara campaign (https://saveballara.godaddysites.com/). Ballara is a historically significant home and property, which is under threat of auction and development. Tom is seeking to protect the 1.68 hectare bush garden and historic home of Australia’s second Prime Minister Alfred Deakin. Ballara is a unique early 20th century bungalow home, inspired by Californian and Colonial Indian architectural styles (https://www.architectural-review.com/places/india/the-origin-and-indigenisation-of-the-imperial-bungalow-in-india). It was designed by Pattie Deakin and is situated in old Point Lonsdale on the Bellarine Peninsula. Tom and Judith talk about the significance of Ballara to Deakin's personal and political life, as well as to his wife Pattie Deakin, and why Tom wants to make Ballara and its historical contents an asset for the Australian public to engage with. Listen to Amy's interview with Judith Brett from September 2017 about her acclaimed biography of Alfred Deakin, 'The Enigmatic Mr. Deakin': https://soundcloud.com/uncommonsense-rrr/interview-with-judith-brett-the-enigmatic-mr-deakin Broadcast on 20 February 2024.
