Description An account of the resource This article from ‘Psychic Australia’ in March 1977 by Rex Gilroy claims that Norse/Scandinavian sailors visited the South Pacific and northern Australia. The article, ‘Vikings Visited Cairns’’, is now freely available online on the Mysterious Australia website. The article includes various arguments for a Norse presence in the south Pacific, including swastika symbols found in rock and wood art in Java, Cambodia, Malaya, and Vietnam, the shape of war canoes in Fiji, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Tonga, and the physical appearance of some of the native inhabitants of New Guinea. Similar arguments are then applied to northern Australia, augmented by a comparison between northern-Australian Aboriginal religious beliefs and those of the Norse, such as the existence of a rainbow bridge (Bifröst in Old Norse texts) in both cultures, and spirits, or Valkyries, carrying off the dead after a battle. Gilroy also considers rock art near Cairns, Queensland, to show warriors dressed as Vikings in horned helmets. The author’s belief that Vikings wore horned and winged helmets, both of which became popularly associated with Vikings through the costumes used in Richard Wagner’s (1813-1883) Ring Cycle operas (although there is evidence for the ceremonial use of horned helmets in pre-Viking age Scandinavia), and the confusion in calling Wotan/Oðin/Odin the thunder god instead of Þorr/Thor, allows for little confidence in the assertions of the article.

Smith, Sydney, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Sydney Morning Herald. Description An account of the resource This piece titled “Robin Hood” in the ‘Amusements’ section of the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper appeared on June 30, 1928. It brings to attention a new production of the comic/light opera Robin Hood at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in the Royal Botanic Gardens, formerly the stables of Government House. Elsewhere on the same page in the ‘Music and Drama’ section there is a complimentary article to remind readers of two previous seasons of the opera, and to discuss the opera’s origins and style. The ‘rustic’ opera by Americans Reginald De Koven (music) and Harry B. Smith (libretto) was written in Chicago in the 1880s and, according to the newspaper article, features comic treatment of the characters of the Sherriff and Sir Guy. The opera is based on the popular adventures of the outlaw Robin Hood and is set in Nottingham, England, during the reign of Richard I (the Lionheart) during his time abroad on crusade.
