C H AIR M AN ’S MESSAGE

It gives me great pleasure to present the Australian National Maritime Museum's Annual Report for the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005. We are now midway through the museum’s Strategic Plan for 2003 to 2006, and I’m pleased to report we’re achieving the goals and outcomes which we set ourselves. There have been some exciting and challenging milestones during the year under report. None were higher profile than the arrival of the Endeavour replica at the museum. The spectacular ship was transferred to the Australian Government by the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation which had operated it over the last decade and a half. The replica was then gifted to the museum by the Australian Government, along with additional funds for its operation. The eyes of Australia are on us as the museum takes on stewardship of this extraordinary artefact which has been acclaimed world wide, and which for so many Australians is a powerful symbol of their history. This year, too, the museum’s Council has endorsed the bold step of making entry to the museum’s galleries free to all visitors. This initiative has undergone intitial trials with impressive success, and in making it a continuing feature we are acknowledging the paramount importance of increasing public access to this, the nation’s leading maritime heritage resource. We are confident that subsequent reviews will reinforce the value of this arrangement. The year’s outstanding exhibitions, educational programs and public events build the museum's reputation for continually renewing, expanding and elaborating the concepts of maritime history and heritage. I’d like to pay special tribute to all who worked to bring the spectacular Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture a\\ the way from Paris. It’s an exhibition that has, for many people, redefined the notion of what a maritime museum is about. I would like once again to offer thanks to all who have made these achievements Chairman Mark Bethwaite with

possible: the Australian Government and the Minister for the Arts and Sport Senator

the figurehead from Queen Marie-

the Hon Rod Kemp - in particular for his enthusiasm and financial support for bringing

DIRECTOR’S OVERVIEW

Interactions, visits and visitor profile The number of people who visited our exhibitions and historic vessels, and took tours of the Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre this year, was 411,340. If we compare this with visitation just two years ago, it's an increase of nearly 40%. School visitors this year totalled a pleasing 34,897. Some 40,500 guests or clients attended functions held at the museum as part of our venue hire operation, while 3,145 museum Members attended events organised for them. Overall for the year 2004-2005 there were 1,616,015 interactions with the museum. This is our measure of all who availed themselves of ourservices and facilities in one way or another. In addition to the visitations already noted, this includes categories such as enquiries assisted and users of our research and information services.

Free admission The museum’s Council has endorsed the continuation of our initiative of making entry to the museum galleries free of charge. When we decided to trial free entry in late 2003 we were the first of Sydney’s major museums to do so. The initiative was to make our exhibitions more accessible than ever before, and it has worked. Over the initial trial period we saw a substantial increase in our visitation over a comparable period in the previous year, and the numbers have remained encouraging. The challenge for us was always to ensure that the loss of ticket revenue was offset by increased patronage of our other facilities, and ticketed attractions such as the replica of HM Bark Endeavour, by those larger numbers of visitors, so we could continue to provide the full range of attractions and services that our public expects of us. Our confidence that we will be able to do so is reflected in Council's decision to approve free entry as a continuing feature of the museum. Australian maritime history will be one of the beneficiaries, as even more people come through our doors and learn about our fascinating past and present.

The Endeavour replica One of the most significant additions to the museum in many years took place, when the internationally acclaimed replica of James Cook’s legendary Whitby collier, HM Bark Endeavour, was transferred into the museum’s care. Endeavour will be based here, managed and operated by our own staff, after more than a decade of world voyaging. The ship had been operated by the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation, created in 1991 to complete construction in Fremantle WA, and to manage it as a voyaging museum after it was launched in 1993. Senator the Hon Rod Kemp, Minister for the Artsand Sport, received the replica on behalf of the Australian Government from the Foundation’s chairman Dr Michael Sharpe AO, in order to gift it to the museum. Managing Endeavour as a high-profile heritage icon and an exceptional educational asset, and maintaining the replica in sailing survey, is a huge commitmentforthe museum. It takes us into operational areas previously outside our core business. We commenced immediately by building a team comprising the most experienced square rig and replica managers and shipkeeperstodothejob. We have been generously aided in this by additional annual funding from the Australian Government, which will allow us to keep the ship in the best condition possible and to be fully operational on Sydney Harbour. Long-distance offshore voyaging is extremely expensive and for that we will seek corporate sponsorship, in order to extend the ship’s ambassadorial role. Managing the Endeavour replica opens up many superb opportunities for the museum. For many, many Australians Endeavour has an almost mystical status as a symbol of the nation’s colonisation history; operating such an iconic ship demands of us a sensitivity to all Australians' view of history. As the new custodians of this vessel, the eyes of Australia will be on us. top: Endeavour replica moored at Museum Quay, the museum’s historic vessel basin. above: Endeavour’s great cabin set

exhibition Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture.

These magnificent sculptures, figureheads and other works of art decorated French warships and vessels of state from 1660 to 1860. The artworks represent a fascinating period and some of the most powerful and intriguing characters of history, the likes of the Sun King (Louis XIV), Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon. Their grand scale, epic subject matter, sensuous colour and forms have bowled over our audiences. The exhibition came about through a collaboration between the Musee National de la Marine, Paris, owner of the sculptures, the Musee des beaux-arts du Quebec in Canada, and ourselves. It’s a great accolade for us that these French national treasures were allowed to come here - they may never leave Paris again - and a great satisfaction that our energy made it happen. It cements a closer alliance with important French cultural institutions and has boosted our connections with the French community in Australia too. Special mention must be made of our sponsors SDV International Logistics, Cathay Pacific Cargo and ANL Container Line Pty Ltd, since moving priceless items on this scale is a gargantuan undertaking. Other exhibition highlights of the year included: About Time - a brief history of timekeeping on sea and land - drew on major international collections of historical timepieces and chronometers, made possible by our growing links to important overseas and Australian collections. Just one example: the British National Maritime Museum lent its extraordinary working copy of the Flarrison 1 chronometer. The exhibition enjoyed the major support of sponsor IWC International Watch Co Schaffhausen, the Swiss watchmaker. Gina’s Journey - from Istria to Australia, a series of intensely personal paintings in a vibrant style by 74-year-old Croatian migrant Gina Sinozich, captured her family’s 1957 voyage from Istria in Croatia to Australia. Most were commissioned by us from the selftaught artist who has burst upon the gallery scene in recent years. Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film continued its run until February, a cheeky and irreverent history of the sailor suit and its place in popular culture.

TH E YE AR IN R EV IEW | D IR E C T O R 'S O V ER VIEW

Among the year's other exhibition’s were Children of the Crocodile, an examination of East Timor’s recent history and links with Australia; displays of works by documentary photographers and Indigenous artists - and in an entirely new approach for us, an exhibition of classic speedboat photographs selected from our collection by a guest curator who bid for the privilege at a fundraising dinner held by our Australian National Maritime Foundation! We also saluted our founding Chairman who died late last year with Peter Doyle am, Fisherman (1932-2004), a display of personal effects in memory of the contributions to this museum made by this legendary Sydney restaurateur and environmentalist. Staff overcame considerable logistical and conservation hurdles to realise a cherished goal: making the famous yacht Blackmores First Lady accessible to visitors in our Watermarks exhibition where it’s the centerpiece. They can now board, enter the cabin and view an installation of Kay Cottee’s shipboard effects from the historic 1987-88 solo circumnavigation that made her Australia’s best-known sailor.

Travelling exhibitions An additional 13,700 visitors to the South Australian Maritime Museum saw a travelling exhibition, Siglas de Pescadores - Signs of fishermen, which was nearing the end of its Australian tour. We imported this appealing ethnographic study of an Atlantic fishing community in Portugal in mid-2003, and after appearing here for seven months it travelled to venues all around Australia. Since importing and touring exhibitions is an important but complex and demanding part of our outreach activities, staff have this year developed a Temporary and Travelling Exhibitions Production Guide for exhibitions developed, hosted and toured by the museum.

Major events For the third time we hosted the Australian visit of the steel-hulled yachts of the Global Challenge round-the-world race which moored at our wharves, pausing during their punishing circumnavigation which takes them the wrong way, against prevailing winds and tides. The race was conceived of by the famous British yachtsman Sir Chay Blythe as a character-building event for non-professional sailors, who are sponsored to sail the fleet of rugged, identical yachts. One of the most popular museum events ever, Wetworld, returned this year over the summer school holiday to encourage children to experiment with the many enjoyable properties of water. This year, a new wet lab was added to increase the fun and learning, with an emphasis on conservation and avoiding water wastage. top: Gina Sinozich with one of her paintings from Gina’s Journey

Demonstratingthe museum’s engagement with the wider Asian and Indian Ocean region, a unique maritime-themed history and cultural tour of the coasts of southern India was developed and marketed to museum Members and the public. The threeweek tour, led by a staff member who specialises in Asian maritime history, took in spice ports of antiquity and colonial periods, contemporary fishing communities and traditional boatbuilding, and a host of littoral cultural sites. Our seminar and lecture program is developing an impressive depth and diversity. Many are commissioned to support current exhibitions - for example a seminar in conjunction with the exhibition About Time which featured stellar academics Professor Paul Davies, Peter Ekin and Professor Marilyn Mitchell. Others keep our audiences up to date with developments in maritime history and related topics, with thoughtprovoking and sometimes controversial topics such as Navy historian Dr Tom Frame’s Anzac Day lecture ‘The Gallipoli campaign and FIMAS Voyager, a tale of two tragedies’. Still others reflect our multidisciplinary approach, for example culinary academic Dr Barbara Santich’s ‘Australian cuisine in the golden age of windjammers’, delivered in the galley of the 1874 barque James Craig.

Collections The National Maritime Collection’s profile is growing among other Australian exhibiting institutions, with a sharp rise in the number of items we have out on loan. Items were on display in National Archives of Australia's Beacons by the Sea travelling exhibition and the Powerhouse Museum’s Sport more than heroes and legends travelling exhibition. Others were on loan to the Supreme Court of Queensland for their Lucinda exhibition, the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia to celebrate their centenary, the South Australian Maritime Museum for their dolphin display and the National Museum of Australia fortheir Encounters exhibition. The number of objects registered in the National Maritime Collection this year was 1,708, among which were 95 groups or collections. The diversity of our collecting activity never ceases to astound and entertain, as we acquired artworks and photographs, ship models and surfboards, tools and instruments, books, stamps, coins, programs, memorabilia, baleen, banners, textiles, ceramics, Olympians’ swim wear, cloth sailor dolls, a bottle of brandy that once belonged to Sir Francis Chichester, a can of butter from Kay Cottee’s world voyage, and a whale penis fitted as a lamp. Several collection areas grew in strength, with a very strong showing of maritime art and ship portraiture entering the collection. And we built on our extensive holdings of material relating to Australia’s most famous boatbuilding dynasty, the Halvorsens, with a collection of scrapbooks, plans and clothing relating to the ocean racing and sporting interests of Trygve and Magnus Flalvorsen, and drafting tools used by Trygve and Lars Halvorsen. Among these plans of Halvorsen-designed and crewed yachts that dominated Australian ocean racing in the post-WW2 period are those of the legendary top: Scrimshaw - A rt o f the Whaler

Partnerships and collaborations Phase I of our Australian Register of Historic Vessels got underway with the appointment of contract yacht designer and heritage vessel specialist, David Payne, to develop a data base and methodologies, and to research and enter the first tranche of significant vessels. The register will become an important national research tool for maritime heritage and an outreach program extendingthe network of maritime museums in this country. We developed strategies for the official launch and promotion of a new organisation, American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum, which has been incorporated to raise knowledge of and support for the museum's USA Gallery. The USA Gallery is the enduring product of a generous endowment which was the United States' bicentennial gift to Australia in 1988. American Friends will facilitate fundraising and promotional activities, and has gained the support of Australian diplomatic missions in the USA. A museum working party produced and published an Indigenous protocols document, with the aim of raising awareness of Indigenous issues as they impact upon museum programsand procedures. Doing so enhanced ourlinkswith bodies such as the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and the Australia Council, by taking their own protocols as a starting point to develop specifics for material in our collection. Producing this document is a strong statement that we will promote respectful treatment of Indigenous materials, cultures and forms of expression. Twelve grants worth atotal of $30,000 were provided underthe Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAPSS) to non-profit maritime museums top: Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden visits the museum to open the exhibition Swedish Style.

to conservation of exquisite artworks. The scheme was initiated in 1995 and since

supported. It's our most important cultural outreach program, administered by us and jointly funded by the museum and the Australian Government through the Distributed National Collection Program of the Department of Communications, Information

Technology and the Arts. This year we secured a substantial increase in the Australian Government’s contribution, which will enable us to more than double the number of grants commencing with the 2005-2006 round of grants. We also awarded two regional museums internships which allow people from smaller museums who are managing maritime heritage collections to spend up to four weeks with our staff, developing skills. This year’s interns were Ray Robinson from the Port Broughton Sailing and Boat Club Inc of South Australia, and Marie Nunan, a volunteer from the Geelong Heritage Centre in Victoria. A second staff exchange was undertaken with the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, UK. This important program develops relations with what is arguably the world’s pre-eminent maritime museum - certainly one with critical strategic links to Australian maritime history. Dominic Mackintosh, ANMM marketing services manager, spent two months with the Greenwich museum’s marketing arm. Liz Campbell, a display technician at Greenwich, spent six weeks with our exhibition designers and preparators. Trained underwater archaeologists and divers on staff contributed to the maritime archaeology programs of various organisations including the NSW Heritage Office. Our involvement in the search for remains of James Cook’s Endeavour continues, in Newport, Rhode Island, in the USA. This year Nigel Erskine, ANMM’s new curator of exploration and acting senior maritime archaeologist, was sent to assist the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP, led by American archaeologist Dr Kathy Abbass) with its underwater surveys and test excavations. I was recently invited to join the board of the Foundation forthe Preservation of Captain Cook’s Ships, a US organisation which provides administrative and fund raising support for Rl MAP’s work. We’re happy to be working with the Foundation and RIMAP to establish a strategic approach for our forthcoming involvement with the wreck site. It’s a project of great significance to us all. I have been appointed acting President of the International Congress of Maritime Museums, continuingthis museum's tradition of close involvement with, and executive membership of, this world body which does important work on standards and policies that relate to our discipline.

Issues and outlook Our continuation of free museum entry is a keystone of our marketing that now positions us to maximise our audience share. With the right mix of attractions we’re confident that we can do this, and resist the now well-documented, worldwide decline in museum audiences. Sailing over our horizon is the long-awaited Vikings exhibition, to open in November 2005 ready for the summer crowds. Treasures of the Viking world, artefacts and replicas, have been sourced from great European collections, to dig beneath the legend and myth and reveal the truth about these incredible navigators, explorers, warriors, traders and artists. Next year we’ll also open Dreamboats and workboats - the Halvorsen story. It showcases our extensive collection documenting the lives and work of this Norwegian migrant family which became a household name with their popular Hawkesbury hire fleet and finely crafted vessels. Work on several long-term projects which will improve our infrastructure and services made excellent progress during the year. The very complex task of developing the new, state-of-the-art Collection Management Information System neared completion. We began planning for the redevelopment of the Commerce exhibition theme, and we selected a consultant and tenderer to redevelop the museum website, among other things to align it more closely with our business process. And we continued the ongoing process of developing the comprehensive site masterpian, to provide for future growth and to grapple with the challenges posed by our site and the wider precinct. Our neighbourhood gets busier and busier as the rapid development of Pyrmont and Darling Harbour continues, with a number of major construction projects underway that will increase residential and commercial activity on our doorstep. Closer to home we face the demands of maintaining an 18-year-old building and wharfage which needs upgrading. Our attention is now focusing on the building’s eastern fagade and how it can be redeveloped to provide better public amenities and facilities. While we have an outstanding track record in importing and touring exceptional international exhibitions - part of our role as the nation's leading maritime heritage organisation - one constant hurdle that we face is the rarity of suitable, major exhibitions with universal appeal. Another is the escalating costs of moving exhibition material and obtaining insurance coverage, exacerbated by international security concerns and procedures. Along with increased costs of our own security operations, we share with many organisations a growing list of compliance issues from governance to occupational health and safety, risk management, equity and access, on-line standards and copyright compliances. Working in the Australian Government sector, the standards and consequently costs of compliance are high, accompanied by increasing needs to ----------------------------------------------- monitor developments and make submissions. top: Staff organised their own viewing of the 2004 transit of Venus, 235 years after Cook observed a transit in Tahiti above: Entertainers at a Caribbean-themed corporate event held at the museum.

Corporate governance

The museum council met six times during the year. Council business is facilitated through five committees (Finance & Audit; Major Capital Works; Collections Development and Exhibitions; Marketing, Programs & Sponsorship; and Fleet) which generally meet in advance of each full council meeting and additionally if required. The committees are charged with providÂ ing specific advice to council and management. Each committee comprises the director and a minimum of two other councilors, one of whom acts as chair. All councillors are welcome to attend any committee meeting in an ex-officio capacity (refer Appendix 14). Triennial strategic plans and annual operating plans are prepared in accordance with the Act. Section 2 of this report outlines performance against the current 2003-2006 Strategic Plan. The chairman and the director have biannual meetings with the Minister to review governance and strategic issues.

The very model of a modern maritime museum ANMM occupies a unique place in the cultural life of our nation. Throughout all sections of the museum there exists a powerful charge of enthusiastic commitment to the things it represents, exploring the meaning of maritime history in a thoroughly modern way. Through research and astute curatorial choices, collection management expertise, media and marketing skills, and the energies and imaginations of exhibition, program and event managers, museum visitors are discovering and rediscovering the richness of our maritime heritage. We continue to extend our core field of maritime history and heritage in new and surprising ways. Our exhibition About Time was about chronometers and longitude, certainly, but it also entered the metaphysical realm to explore the ways humans have sought to control and manipulate time. In the acclaimed Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture, the carved figureheads and other sculptures from the workshops of the French dockyards were presented not just as documentary elements of shipbuilding, but as the incomparable works of art that they are. The display of Gina Sinozich's paintings, Gina’s Journey - from Istria to Australia, brought more extraordinary artworks to our audiences, while exemplifying some of our core concerns, journeys by sea and the experience of migration.

Education and visitor programs By means of wide-ranging and imaginative programming, the museum not only maintains its patronage but engages new audiences and introduces them to Australia’s abundant maritime heritage. Our education programs extend to the wider community, making the museum an active participant in lifelong learning. A va st range of events complements our exhibitions. This year, About Time provided opportunities fortim erelated activities, such as the successful About Time Second-hand Sunday, compered by Dr Deane Flutton from The Curiosity Show anti Hey Hey It’s Saturday. At this popular event, horologistsfrom the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors gave expert opinions of watches and clocks brought in by visitors. For Les Genies de la Mer, a lecture series featured the exhibition's original curators from Paris and Quebec, local art history specialists and the ANMM's own curators and designers. Theatre and music are compelling ways to engage audiences both young and old, and Les Genies programs included a light-hearted contemporary production of Sinbad the Sailor (in French) by Le Temps de Vivre theatre company; exhibition-inspired fashions created and modelled by young design students; and an evening of French literature and arias. Another popular success this year was Wetworld, an activity installation that lets children experience first hand the properties and pleasures of water. New tours, programs and workshops were developed for schools, community and interest groups (such as WEA). They added to the existing program of science workshops, the annual marine careers day for senior students, cruise forums, and special teacher previews of all major exhibitions. The tables of school visitation overleaf show a relative decline over this reporting period, coming off a peak of school visits to a previous year’s exhibition with highly targeted curriculum relevance that proved irresistible to schools: Oceans of Stories - Illustrations from Australian children's books. The visitor programs section is a collaborative partner with the Australian National University and the Australian Research Council in researchingand developing interpretative material for our Saltwater collection of bark paintings from Yirrkala, East Arnhem Land, NT. Staff from this and other sections made a highly productive visit to the region in May this year, to interview artists and community leaders. As in previous years, visitor programs staff were closely involved with visiting vessels and associated on-thewater events. These included the stopover of the 12 yachts in the Global Challenge; the Sail Expo and Classic & Working Boat Challenge; and the visit of the CSIRO ocean research vessel Southern Surveyor. The latter was a tremendous opportunity - fully exploited - fortours and talks about marine science. A number of briefings were also held for the return of the Endeavour replica. During the year the department hosted personnel from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and from Questacon (ACT), who wished to discuss the range and types of programs offered by ANMM. In addition, staff from the section participated in the Darling Flarbour educators' group which meets quarterly to discuss issues of mutual interest and maximise the educational value of the precinct for schools and local groups.

Market research In an increasingly competitive tourist and leisure sector, market research continues to inform and influence this museum’s interaction with its audiences and the broader community, and is firmly part of the planning and decision-making process. In partnership with the University of Technology and the Powerhouse Museum, market research staff completed the qualitative stage of a major strategic study investigating museums and leisure choices. The museum’s evaluation researcher supervised a university student research project whose report has provided a useful comparative analysis between international and domestic tourists. Consultant Stollznow Research conducted research that explored public awareness and attitudes about the ANMM and evaluated the level of interest in six exhibition proposals. An exit survey tested visitor responses to our temporary exhibition, Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film and gathered valuable demographic information about our audiences. A remedial tracking study of visitors to Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture resulted in the installation of a gallery map. Another remedial tracking study of visitors to Scrimshaw - A r t of the Whaler provided valuable information about gallery design and its effect on visitation. Evaluation of The Welcome Wall provided useful information about registrations. Currently underway is a research study exploring family leisure. This is expected to provide useful insights into this important ANMM audience. Also underway is research examining how the storage, work and preparation spaces in our Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre can be improved so as to enhance visitor satisfaction.

Venue hire and catering As a venue operation ANMM possesses a winning combination of unique museum atmosphere, Darling Harbour backdrop, diversity and flexibility of spaces for hire, and award-winning catering by the MODE Group. Revenue from venues continues to rise, with the year’s total ahead of the projected budget figures (see table page 33). A major contribution to this year’s success was the client Global Challenge, with its 12 competing yachts using the museum as a base for the famous round-the-world race’s two-week stopover in February 2005. The welcome reception was held here, along with associated Members events, open day activities, corporate sailing days and the Challenge management’s daily business and office requirements on site. The venue department’s strongest marketing alliance has been with SUVA (Sydney’s Unique Venues Association). This year, the assistant venue manager worked in a marketing role with the SUVA committee of seven. Our presence in ‘SUVA Boulevard’ at the new industry tradeshow RSVP in June added to the museum’s exposure as a venue for corporate events. Marketing to the corporate and government sectors has been strengthened by alliances with precinct partners for referral business. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Accors, Avillion and Star City hotels have all conducted site inspections with a view to conference business and related events. Brochures and links on related web sites have raised our profile in the lucrative wedding market, and we are in increasing demand in the film and advertising industry as an unusual location for film and photo shoots. Business has increased too from our improved on-site facilities: the new Festival pontoons provide landing for vessels for Terrace Room functions and the permanent South Wharf structure enables us to offer dinners with pre-dinner drinks on Vampire. A considerable side-effect of the venue operation is the creation, through clients, of new audiences for ANMM: public events this year included the international design exhibition Swedish Style and Australian Voices in Print the 2005 Popular Australian Readers’ and Writers’ Festival which attracted large crowds. ANMM was chosen as the Sydney venue for a number of national and international museum-related events, including Museums Australia's star-studded Museums Australia Publication Design Awards 2005.

The Store In recent years The Store has built up a reputation - through originality, authenticity, wit and marketing flair - as one of the best museum stores in Australia, gaining wider recognition too through staff participation in

KEY RES ULT A R E A 1 | EN GAG ING OUR A U D IE N C E S

international conferences and other activities in the museum retail world. In September The Store hosted the 2004 conference of the Museum Shops Association of Australia. Product development made popular gains with new stock sourced and created for the exhibitions About Time, Sailor Style and Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture, selected items relating to Cook and Endeavour, and ANMM’s own merchandise. One of the year's successful initiatives was trade with book remaindered, increasing profits further. In addition, more museums wholesaled ANMM products. The Store is promoted to Members through advertisements and inserts in Signals, the museum’s quarterly colour magazine, offering special deals on new books and other purchases; this continues to be a worthwhile and cost-effective method of increasing business. In the financial year under report, The Store recorded its highest sales to date, and increased its gross profit margin percentage to 49%. Overall, it's a flourishing trade adding considerably to the museum’s revenue and to the ‘take-away’ museum experience.

Sydney By Sail Sydney By Sail is a successful commercial enterprise operated from the museum waterfront by former Olympian Matt Hayes. His yacht charter company is highly regarded in the tourism industry and offers short sails on the harbour and overnight cruises as well as sailing courses, giving visitors the opportunity to extend their museum experience with sport and play on the water. Our sponsorship manager has successfully negotiated attractive Sydney By Sail sailing days for potential and existing sponsors, some of whom are introduced in this way to yachting, Sydney Harbour by sail, the breathtaking sight of our Philip Cox building and the world of maritime adventure for the first time, and are encouraged to consider corporate support.

Caring for Australia’s maritime heritage and material culture Through research, acquisition and conservation, we continue to build the national maritime collection - the accumulated records and stories, knowledge and narratives of Australians’ past and present experience of the sea and its waterways. And through ingenuity, resourcefulness and wit in its interpretation, we elicit active participation and enjoyment from our visitors. One of the most significant additions to our heritage assets occurred in June 2005 when the acclaimed replica of Lieutenant James Cook's Bark Endeavour was gifted to the museum, along with additional financial assistance, by the Australian Government, after the ship's transfer from the foundation which formerly operated it (see the director’s report, page 12). In order to best manage this spectacular icon the museum recruited an experienced square-rig master, Ross Mattson - formerly master of the Bounty replica - as ship manager, and an additional shipwright and ship keepers. We were fortunate to retain the expertise of the replica's historian-researcher Antonia Macarthuron a consultancy basis. Planning commenced immediatelyfora major refit of the vessel. Management of the floating collection took significant strides with the completion of vessel management plans for the World War Two commando raider MV Krait and the pearling lugger John Louis, both very important representatives of the nation’s maritime history. The publication of a Temporary and Travelling Exhibitions Production Guide will improve planning for the development and production of exhibitions. Other significant projects are mentioned below.

Australian Register of Historic Vessels A major achievement this year was the implementation of a pilot program to select and test software for the first phase of a descriptive list of vessels of significance to Australian history. The pilot includes vessels from ANMM, Sydney Heritage Fleet and private records already on file. This ambitious project aims to record details of a range of vessels (from commercial to leisure craft, large to small), owners, builders, designers, events, sites and geographical areas, to place the vessels in the context of maritime and cultural history. We hope to build a national picture of the distribution and use of surviving historic craft to encourage interpretation, promotion and best practice in preservation and management, whetherthe vessels are in private ownership, floating, in use or out of the water, or in museums. The first phase, including research and assessment of information on historic vessels to be included, has involved community and institutional liaison and the employment of a part-time project officer.

Blackmores First Lady Another important achievement this year was providing public access into the cockpit and cabin of Blackmores First Lady, the yacht in which Kay CotteeAO sailed to fame in a record-breaking solo, non-stop and unassisted voyage around the world. A centrepiece in the ANZ Tall Gallery, the yacht has been fitted out with a selection of artefacts to represent some of the experiences and technical challenges of the circumnavigation. The installation uses a special interactive camera feed inside the cabin and gives the sense and sound of being at sea. The project included extensive volunteer training to address the challenge of flowing visitors through the limited spaces, and development of a maintenance manual and monitoring program.

The Tu Do project Work commenced on a project to complement the restoration of our Vietnamese refugee boat Tu Do (see also Fleet section report, below). Lindl Lawton, curator of post-Federation migration history, interviewed five surviving members of the Lu family which fled Vietnam in this vessel, arriving in Darwin in 1977. The film and recordings will be used in interpreting the vessel and future exhibitions on Vietnamese migration. Associated photographic material has been collected for the project.

Maritime archaeology program The maritime archaeology project team - staff members Dr Nigel Erskine, Lee Graham, Paul Hundley and Stirling Smith - undertook a number of Sydney Harbour dives in collaboration with the NSW Heritage Office, including the search for evidence of a sunken barge in Little Whiting Bay and an anchor in Grotto Point, and a survey of the underwater landscape of Fort Denison. Our maritime archaeologists assisted the Department of the Environment in preparingthe first draft of the National Maritime Heritage Strategy; participated in the exhibition production guide referred to above; and provided the script, content and production of the video Preserving the Bounty cannon for ANMM chemistry workshops. Dr Nigel Erskine took partin the museum’s fifth season with the Rhode Island Maritime Archaeology Project in the continuing search for the remains of HMB Endeavour. Stirling Smith took part in a non-disturbance survey for signs of Philip Parker King’s survey vessel Mermaid, wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. He also successfully tendered for the project management of the Sydney Ports Corporation archaeological survey of White Bay. Recommendations were made regardingthe anchor and propeller located in the shipping channel.

Maritime history book prize The second Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize was awarded this year. Funded jointly by ANMM and the Australian Association for Maritime History (AAMH), the $2,000 prize was awarded to Encountering Terra Australis: the voyages of Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders, by prominent South Australian academics Jean Fornasiero, Peter Monteath and John West-Sooby, published by Wakefield Press. The prize was awarded during the five-yearly conference of the International Commission of Maritime History in Sydney. The Australian Association for Maritime History is the Australian affiliate of this body; this year both the president and vice president of AAMH are museum staff members (senior curator Lindsey Shaw holds the former position, publications manager Jeffrey Mellefont the latter).

Acquisitions The museum’s collections were enriched this year by the purchases and gifts listed in Appendixes 2 and 3. All our acquisitions are prized, but some can be singled out for particular interest or rarity. This year, for example, with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar coming up in October 2005, we were pleased to receive a piece of timber (in a fragile condition) from Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's flagship HMS Victory. Among the objects falling within the ‘crafts and curios’ classification this year we acquired a whale penis fitted as a lamp mounted on a square plinth with a standard electric light bulb, cord and plug. Three watercolour paintings by Captain George W R Bourne, a topographical artist and ship portrait painter active in the colonial ports of South and Western Australia from the 1880s to 1910, are fine examples of the oeuvre of a professional maritime artist of the day. A bold painted surfboard titled Bra Boys, by artist James Dodd, was acquired from Christies to add to our sport and lifestyle collection. Gina Sinozich donated another oil painting in her poignant series depicting her family's voyage from Croatia to Australia on board Neptune. This work completes the series commissioned from the artist in 2003 and contributes to our small but significant collection of works by first-generation migrants who have documented their journeys through art.

Registration and conservation A major project of the registration section has been the continued development of a new Collection Management Information System, which is nearing completion at the end of the period under report. An Australian Research Council Linkage Grant partnership formed this year with Wollongong University and the National Museum of Australia will assist us to develop a collection software methodology suitable to our specific needs.

KEY RES ULT A R E A 2 | MA R IT IM E HERITAGE

Our registrars are closely involved in ANMM’s work with national and international communities. This year we lent objects to the National Archives of Australia's Beacons by the Sea travelling exhibition and the Powerhouse Museum's Sport - More than Heroes and Legends travelling exhibition. We also have items on loan to the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia to celebrate their centenary, the South Australian Museum for their dolphin display and the National Museum of Australia for their Encounters exhibition. A painting by Gordon Syron, a screenprint by Gilbert Kevin and a Torres Strait Islander dance machine were lent to the Powerhouse Museum’s Our Place: Indigenous Australia travelling exhibition which was displayed at Athens forthe 2004 Olympics and at the National Museum of China. Registrars developed and implemented a management plan for material not part of the National Maritime Collection. This includes props or facsimiles acquired or made by the museum’s preparators specifically for exhibition dressing. The new plan will ensure efficient use of our storage and documentation resources for both NMC material and non-NMC material. Our conservation department works closely with the curatorial and registration sections of the museum, providing expertise to all projects and exhibitions. They continue to provide conservation guidelines for ANMM’s collection development policies and collection management systems. This year, conservation of the 88 bark paintings of the important Saltwater collection, by Yirkkala artists from Arnhem Land, was completed, together with their travelling and handling documentation. This painstaking project which has taken place over several years will allow the environmentally-sensitive works to travel securely for display in venues here and overseas. The same processes will be applied to 34 non-Saltwater barks in the collection.

USA Gallery The USA Gallery is the enduring legacy of a generous endowment which was the USA's bicentennial gift to Australia. Its purpose is to showcase the longstanding maritime links between the two nations on either side of the Pacific rim. The gallery occupies a unique place in the international museum world as a gallery in a national museum funded by another nation. Final documentation forthe USA Gallery five-year masterplan was in preparation this year to enhance this tangible tribute to the close political and cultural ties between our two nations. The fledgling American Friends of ANMM, formed to further these relationships and support the gallery, will raise funds and acquire collections to supplement our exhibitions, research and other programs. In his capacity as an affiliate member of the Council of American Maritime Museums, senior curator of the gallery, Paul Flundley, visited Norfolk, Virginia in October 2004. The long-running Scrimshaw - Art of the Whaler continues to excite interest in this near-forgotten craft from the recent past. Among several significant acquisitions this year were three maritime paintings of considerable historic and aesthetic value (including one of the Cecilia Sudden by Arthur Gregory, from the family of illustrious ship portraitists) and a wooden sea-chest (with iron handles) from the clipper Chariot of Fame. Curatorial research was conducted for two proposed exhibitions - Magnificent voyages and Clipper ships.

Indigenous Affairs An Indigenous protocol document, Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum, was developed to guide ANMM staff in their relationships with Indigenous cultures and people. It is also a public resource helping to build understandingand encourage interaction with Indigenous communities, artists and organisations. Its publication will reaffirm the museum’s longstanding commitment to these goals. Michael Crayford, assistant director, collections and exhibitions, and education officer Jeffrey Fletcher travelled with the Indigenous curator and liaison officer John W aightto North East Arnhem Land to continue important collaborative work (with the Australian National University and Australian Research Council) on the Turtle Tracks Indigenous Science Curriculum Project. As in previous years, the section was involved in celebrations for NAIDOC week, when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ work from the museum collection went on display to complement this year’s NAIDOC themes of self determination - ‘our community, ourfuture, our responsibility'.

In a spirit of international cooperation, and with the aim of increasing access to our collection as well as raising the profile of Indigenous cultural heritage and its representation at ANMM, the Indigenous curator arranged for the loan of objects created by John Mawurndjul to the Tinguely Museum in Basel, Switzerland. Exceptional acquisitions this year included a number of lovely woven sculptures from Maningrida, including fish traps, with their distinctive and organic form.

Fleet Fleet section facilitated a seamless handover of Endeavourfrom the FIM Bark Endeavour Foundation to the museum, by providing staff and ensuring the continuity and integrity of the ship’s operation systems. New signage forthe historic vessels at Museum Quay was installed in September 2004, after research, rewriting and editing of the vessel label system. This included the addition of plans and images to the weatherproof signage system. The conservation of the Vietnamese refugee boat Tu Do has been a major undertakingfor the section. Working from a conservation management plan which identified specific treatments for every component of the vessel, fleet staff have restored the ship using innovative techniques to replicate the traditional shipbuilding practices of South-East Asia, retaining more than 80% of the historic fabric. In addition, all major spars on the Colin Archer-type ketch Kathleen Gillett(a veteran of the first Sydney-Flobart yacht race) were removed for maintenance including the treatment of rot in the bowsprit. Two apprentices worked with staff throughout the year, part of an ongoing commitment to ensure that the traditional skills and artisanship associated with the conservation of historic craft are maintained. Apprentice Immanuel (Manny) Ariel was awarded a distinction for his Certificate in Boat and Ship Building and took the NSW Medal awarded by the Boating Industry Association, and a TAFE merit award, for the highest pass. Another apprentice commenced the four-year course. In our sailing program our early 20th-century open sloop Thistle, a Victorian 'couta fishing boat, won the Nick Masterman Trophy in the race for historic yachts at the Balmain regatta, as well as the Pyrmont Cup for best boat in the regatta. Fleet staff sailed Kathleen Gillett in the parade of historic yachts prior to the start of the 2004 Rolex Sydney-to-Flobart Race and provided the pearling lugger John Louis forthe dedication of the Centurion plaque, at the site of the 19th-century wreck off Cannae Point, North Flead. The former naval patrol boat Advance cruised on a number of occasions for sponsors, and to welcome Endeavour home to the museum. Fleet staff contributed further to the museum’s outreach program by continuing to provide advice on a daily basis to the public and in particular to other organisations on the management of floating craft. This included advice for a project involving the restoration of a 500-ton fire float in Hong Kong. The section hosted an intern, Mr Koven Kai-mingLo, assistant curator in conservation from the Central Conservation Section of the Hong Kong Department of Leisure and Cultural Services.

Vaughan Evans Library Library staff focused this year on several collection maintenance and documentation projects which included working on the cataloguing backlog, particularly of oral histories. The first in a planned series of stock-takes involvingthe main library stack and the reference collection was completed without any disruption to services. Library staff also commenced a project to document the collection of books housed on the Endeavour replica. The preservation microfilming and digitisation of back issues of the museum’s quarterly Signals magazine was completed. Rehousing serials, which is to be part of the library collection preservation project, will be undertaken when resources become available. Library acquisitions centred on staff information needs for future exhibitions and research projects including Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture and Vikings, as well as on professional development in areas such as museology and conservation. Other acquisitions included the Mercantile Navy List (1853-189) on microfilm from the Library of Congress and another instalment of the Daily Commercial News 1929-1945 on microfilm. We continue to build up the library's holdings of microfilm relating to vessels registered

KEY RES ULT A R E A 2 | M A R IT IM E HERITAGE

in Australia, with purchases this year of microfilms of the Register of Colonial Vessels Port o f Hobart 1830-1855 and the Colonial Secretary return of all vessels registered Sydney 1817-1827. The public enquiry service offered by the library remains popular; numbers are slightly down on last year but on a par with previous years. The public as ever were enthusiastic in expressing their appreciation of this important service. Other outreach activities included hosting visits from outside groups such as the Art Libraries Society, family history groups and librarianship students. Inter-library loan requests for material from the library collection remain at levels similar to previous years. Our librarians continued to offer information and guidance to other museums, maritime museums and maritime-related organisations, state and public libraries and archives. We continue to contribute to the national bibliographic database Libraries Australia, with a total of 15,180 titles. In addition the library has undertaken to add cataloguing records for National Maritime Collection material such as rare books, and information about our archival and photographic collections, as a long-term project to facilitate access to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection.

Outreach and collaborations Collaborative projects and outreach programs provide opportunities to share the expertise and experience of staff with the wider maritime heritage community. The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important outreach program, the MMAPSS grants scheme, is detailed in Appendix 14. Collaborations take many forms. Museum staff worked with the South Australian Maritime Museum, Albury Museum and Museum of the Riverina on the development of a travelling exhibition about the Murray and Darling Rivers and their communities, called The River. Senior curator Daina Fletcher supervised the study tour of Oriel Williams, former curator at the museum in Docklands, London, who visited us on a Churchill Fellowship. Other instances were project management and shipwright skills provided to Sydney City Council to rebuild the gun carriage for HMSS/'r/us displayed at Macquarie Place; assistance to the Townsville Museum with information on convicttransports and to the Norfolk Island Museum with the design of their new Sirius exhibition; advice to the RAN on developingthe Navy Heritage Centre at Garden Island; work with the NSW volunteer coastal patrol collecting memorabilia forthe museum; developingthe script, content and production of a video on the battle between HMAS Sydney and HMAS Emden for the Pulau Keeling National Park (featuring items from the collection and some impressive underwater footage); and the annual Remembrance Day service in conjunction with Z Special Unit Association. Staff participated in the 12th biennial national conference of the Australian Historical Association at Newcastle. Liaison with the Chinese Australian Historical Society has been ongoing over the NSW Chinese Australian Cultural Heritage Project, which will culminate when the museum hosts the 2005 conference The dragon's journey to Australia. Work continued with the Western Australian Museum and the State Library of NSW to coordinate a major international symposium celebrating 400 years of Australian-Dutch maritime links Australia on the Map 1606-2006 - to be held here in May 2006.

Early loan repayment In June 2005 the museum was able to repay $10,000,000 of the principal outstanding and accrued interest on the Commonwealth Bank loan taken out to finance the design and construction of the Wharf 7 Maritime Fleritage Centre in the late 1990s, and proposes repaying the balance in the followingfinancial year. These payments are made without detriment to the existing program of capital works and, in addition, relieve the capital budget of the burden of funding loan repayments in future years.

Capital works The maritime heritage precinct in which the museum is located continues to change and develop rapidly, this growth itself presenting challenges. Our building and property services section spent the past year further revising and refining the site masterplan to ensure it meets the unique needs of a museum with a fleet of historic vessels. A significant challenge lay in the ongoing pursuit of rectifications to the retractable pontoon which allows vessels access and egress from Museum Quay, the historic vessel marina with its unique pontoon system commissioned to ameliorate wash from Darling Flarbour water traffic. This year the resources of the section were successfully directed chiefly towards the completion of the second stage of repair to the sub-structure supporting the Wharf 7 Maritime Fleritage Centre.

Security The security section of the museum provides frontline support to our customers, staff and volunteers. In 2004 the security and front-of-house contracts were re-tendered. The successful tenderer, Wilsons Security, took up the contract in October 2004, with the majority of our security and FOH personnel who were previously employed by the former service provider opting to remain atthe museum. The security manager Peter Flaggarty was elected president of the Museums Australia security and emergency operations special interest group. This timely new group has been formed with the aim of raising security awareness in museums around Australia. The section continues to work with otherfederal and state agencies in training programs. Regular meetings are also held with commercial and residential security managers in the Darling Flarbour area, focusing on local issues.

Communications and information management services This section provides often unseen, essential services to ensure that visitors experience museum displays of technological sophistication. Forthe popular exhibition Sailor Style - Art Fashion Film, the section maintained audiovisuals and exhibition lighting rig. For/About T/meCIMS staff negotiated with Telstra to provide a free instant hotline to the time 1194. For Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture they plotted, installed and focused exhibition lighting. In addition, they produced audiovisuals delivered by the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Media and Venue Management System (MVMS). The opening of Blackmores First Lady and the installation of Kay Cotteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shipboard effects provided a

technical challenge. The museum's MVMS was extended to First Lady so that visitors are able to see inside the yacht via cameras controlled from the Kay Cottee interactive screen; the same system automates lightingfor on board tours. CIM Salso provided technical advice for the request for tender to develop the Australian Register of Historic Vessels database, and staff are part of the working team for that project. Likewise Cl MS staff are represented on the website redevelopment team. They took part in selectingthe website redevelopment coordinator, evaluated tenders and presentations of proposed solutions, and ensured that all briefs reflected the museum’s technical environment. The museum's maritime archaeology program used the underwater expertise of Mike Meyer during surveys of the waters around Fort Denison and in Little Whiting Bay in the search for a cannon. With Stirling Smith, Mike edited and produced a short video about the wreck of the SMS Emden, sunk during battle with HMAS Sydney in World War I on the Cocos Keeling Islands. With Dr Nigel Erskine and Lindsey Shaw, he produced the video Preserving the Bounty cannon - forthe museum’s chemistry workshops.

Other projects in a busy year included: • Records management created 1,222 files and expedited 7,675 file movements. • Records management has had over 1,250 inactive files approved for destruction and approximately 2,000 inactive files identified for transfer to National Archives. • Replaced the Finance Netware file server with a Windows 2000 file server to facilitate the upgrade of SunSystemsfrom the ISAM database platform to the Microsoft SQL version of SunSystems. • Specified, procured and installed a new file server and workstations to facilitate the upgrade of the museum’s ticketing system to ProVenueMax. • Upgraded network hubs to Cisco managed switches for enhanced network performance. • Implemented Nsure Identity Manager to allow Windows and Netware users to synchronise multiple passwords into a single login. • Installed the Tickit Enterprise Risk Management System to ensure that management systems meet good practice requirements. • Upgraded the museum computer room physical environment.

Its main features are: • Pay increase of 4% from date of certification and a 4% increase effective from 1 July 2005. • Agreement to link all progression through the pay scale to the museum performance scheme. Staff will need to be rated as at least an ‘achiever’ to progress through the pay scale. To move to the top salary staff must be rated at least as a ‘high achiever’. • In conjunction with staff the museum will develop a health awareness program aimed at increasingstaff’s health and fitness. • The museum has agreed to ‘family-friendly’ initiatives such as not arranging meetings before 9.30 am whenever possible and providing employees with extra dependent-care costs when they are required to travel for work or work additional hours and/or where they are required to pay for additional child care arrangements. The museum has also agreed to two additional weeks maternity leave. • A community language allowance will be paid to staff where there is an identified need for particular language skills, and the staff member has the appropriate qualifications.

Assessment of effectiveness in managing human resources The museum performance scheme was reviewed and a revised scheme implemented. Regular human resource management statistics are provided to management to enable them to assess workforce need and apply workforce planning strategies. Staff turnover was 13.1% in the last financial year compared to 10.7% in the previous year. Secondment to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, UK, was undertaken by a museum staff member as part of an exchange program between the two organisations. This was the second highly satisfactory secondment. Again this year, relevant staff attended an in-house program management workshop. The volunteer program (recruitment and training) was increased in response to increased needs following the return of the Endeavour replica. Productivity gains as negotiated in the 2004-2006 Certified Agreement for the 2004-05 financial year centred round staff and other resource efficiencies relating to closure of Berrys Bay; improvements in the use of information technology; review of the museum performance scheme; and commitment to obtaining lowest airfares when travelling on behalf of ANMM.

Occupational health and safety It is ANMM policy to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe for employees, is without risk to their health and provides adequate facilities for their welfare at work. The Occupational Health and Safety committee charged with overseeing this policy met five times during the year. The museum has a range of procedures in place to manage 0H&S including a staff 0H&S induction booklet, accident investigation guidelines, confined-space entry guidelines, a hot-work permit system and a system of workplace inspections. A number of initiatives related to health surveillance included hearing tests and flu and hepatitis vaccinations. The new health awareness program provides health checks such as blood pressure, back and posture, and lung function testing. This year we successfully met a number of performance targets. There was a reduction of reported accidents of 10%; we had capture information on 100% of accidents or incidents which occur on the museum site; and regular inspections of all work areas were conducted. There were 60 reported incidents in the 2004-05 financial year - a reduction from 73 in 2003-04. There were five compensation claims from staff and volunteers.

Disability action plan The plan was developed by a consultant and endorsed by the executive group in the previous year. Targets met this year include a review of the service charter; incorporation of protocols for designing and building exhibitions into core exhibition guides and 3D guidelines; training for relevant staff on meeting the needs of sight-impaired visitors; and the review of human resource management policies commenced. The marketing section worked with the Deaf Society of NSW and the Royal Blind Society to develop tours of the Endeavour replica for aurally and visually impaired visitors.

Industrial democracy The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joint Consultative Council of three management and three employee-elected representatives meets to discuss a wide range of issues including financial and human resource planning, workplace diversity, occupational health and safety, work organisation and structures and general employee issues. The committee met on four occasions in the last financial year.

Workplace diversity policy The policy was endorsed by the executive group and distributed to staff last year. Its implementation has continued through the year.

Staffing overview As at 30 June 2005, staff employed under the Public Service Act 1999 totalled 101 (77 ongoing full-time, 12 ongoing part-time, 11 non-ongoing full-time and 1 non-ongoing part-time).

Volunteers Volunteers help deliver the museum’s services in many and diverse ways, working in most sections, as the following table shows. Volunteers might be called ‘the human face’ of ANMM. They are knowledgeable, hardworking and loyal, with a passionate commitment to what the museum represents. This enthusiasm is deeply persuasive and many visitors have become frequent visitors or Members after experiencing a volunteer-guided tour. At 30 June 2005, the 335 registered volunteers at the museum had contributed 52,070 hours - 5,890 hours more than for the same period last year and 12.8% above the museum's target of 46,000 hours. There was an increase in the volunteer program of recruitment and training this year to support arrival of FIMB Endeavour replica. Altogether, since the museum’s volunteer program began, volunteers have contributed 420,978 hours to the museum. At an estimated $15 per hour this equates to $6.31 million of donated support and effort.

Marketing Major promotional and advertising campaigns accompanied the exhibitions About Time, and Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture, both immensely popular with the general public as well as special interest groups. Promotions of About Time focused on the replica Harrison One chronometer on loan from the National Maritime Museum of the UK, the most famous artefact in mankind’s quest to determine longitude. It proved a star attraction. Capitalising on the rarity and exceptional beauty of the works in Les Genies, a national campaign was conducted with advertising in the Melbourne Age, The Australian, national art magazines and regional press. These were complemented by high-profile advertisements in the Sydney Morning Herald. The keynote of our Christmas 2004 advertising campaign was ‘Join a Journey of Discovery’. This theme extended across all media including television, metropolitan poster media and print. Combining both indoor and outdoor activities with equal emphasis, it promoted the museum as a full day out for families. Wetworld, the popular children's water activity, featured in selected children’s publications and school holiday supplements of newspapers and magazines. The Endeavour replica arrived at the museum on 17 April to assume its position as flagship of the museum fleet. An advertising campaign was undertaken to welcome the vessel home and inform the public of this momentous development. The museum introduced Endeavour tours for the hearing-impaired and visuallyimpaired in conjunction with The Deaf Society of NSW and the Royal Blind society. The tours were enormously popular, and the museum plans to include similar introductory tours in programs for all new temporary exhibitions. The marketing services manager, Dominic Mackintosh, was seconded to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich UK, fora period of work and study of practices in the marketingdepartment there. Duringthis period he was able to observe and report on their policy and methods of providing improved access to the disabled, disadvantaged and ethnic communities.

Media The museum was well represented in the media in the 12 months to 30 June 2005, featuring in almost 1,000 stories in press, radio and TV across Australia. The monitored total was 939 stories, 15% more than in the previous year. In a broader sense, this means the museum in two years comfortably reached the 25% increase in media coverage it aimed to achieve in the triennium to 30 June 2006. The number of stories on television rose from 37 to 62 (or 67%), an increase due partly to the enormous TV interest in the Endeavour replica’s home coming and its presence at the museum. ABC T V ’s 7.30 Report, with a million viewers Australia-wide, reported on the exhibition Gina’s Journey. Channel

7’s high-rating Sunrise program and Channel 9’s Today both carried an increased number of valuable live crosses promoting exhibitions, and there was an increase in the number of museum stories on children’s TV programs. The most publicised museum activities were Endeavour's arrival (134 stories), Sailor Style (97), Les Genies de la Mer (81), Gina's Journey (36) and Blackmores First Lady being open for inspection (22). Sailor Style was clearly important for the museum in the media. It produced 149 stories over the two years July 2003 to June 2005, and carried the museum into the ‘glossy’ fashion and design media for the first time. In contrast, Les Genies de la Mer significantly drew high praise from ‘arthouse’ press, being acclaimed by art critics in national and metropolitan publications.

Publications and website A working group to overseethe redevelopment of the museum’s first-generation website was established in October 2004 with members drawn from a range of museum departments. The aim is to develop an innovative, standardscompliant website with enhanced functionality to facilitate business process across a number of sections, in a product that will be nationally and internationally regarded as the online authority on Australian maritime heritage and culture. A consultant was engaged to draft the redevelopment brief and to assist the working group to select and contract the website developer. A website redevelopment coordinator was appointed in April 2005 to consult with museum departments and website audiences, to develop the website information architecture, navigation, usability and content, to implement content management and publishing guidelines, and to oversee the website development work. The new website is expected to be on-line by the end of 2005. Signals, the museum’s quarterlyjournal, has been upgraded with additional pages and a heavier wrap-around cover, to give a more substantial magazine ‘feel’ and accommodate more articles. In line with the findings of a survey of readership last year, design changes have been made to the important members events and visitor information pages, to make them easier to navigate. These changes are intended to increase the Members’ sense of value for money spent on their memberships. Last year’s successful hardcover venture, Wooden Boats, Iron Men - the Halvorsen Story, by Randi Svensen, published by the museum in association with Halstead Press, sold out. In response to demand, the book was reprinted this year. The work documents this important Norwegian-Australian maritime family’s achievements as gifted designers and boatbuilders, astute marketers and champion sailors. The commitment of this museum to telling the Halvorsen story will continue into the coming year with the launch of an exhibition Dreamboats and Workboats - the Halvorsen story. The section managed a steady demand for images from museum archives and collections and provided editorial services to a number of museum projects including development of the pathbreaking Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Design Visitors’ engagement with the intellectual content of an exhibition is maximised through visual, tactile and aural experiences, making innovation and experiment in the design and preparation of displays a regular feature. ANMM exhibitions and programs, promotional and other material includingexhibition brochures aim to achieve a unique style and identity, which is reinvigorated or reinvented each year. Design staff employed their skills on the temporary exhibitions Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture and Vikings. They also worked on display and access for Blackmores First Lady, the changeover exhibition Children of the Crocodile - the Australia-East Timor Story, and the fourth successful Wetworld. The exhibitions About Time was designed by Five Spaces Design under the supervision of the in-house design team. The preparation section was closely involved with the challenge of installing the large, old and fragile sculptures in Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces o f French Naval Sculpture, as well as in the presentation of objects for temporary exhibitions and loans. The volunteer who makes models for our designers clocked up 157 hours this year. The publication Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum was

KEY RESULT A R E A 4 | R EPUTATION AN D R ECO G N ITIO N

designed in-house; and the department also contributed to interpretive signage for our historic vessels and the lighthouse. The percentage of time spent on exhibition projects by the designers was approximately 67%. Preparators spent around 74% of their time working on exhibitions and public programs; graphic designers also spent approximately 28% of theirtim e designingforthe many public programs produced by the museum includingthose complementing exhibitions. The figures are consistent with previous years. The design manager and graphic designers worked with various sections to ensure thatthe museum identity is applied appropriately and consistently, as well as spending about 25% of theirtim e working on non-exhibition related material. A style guide has been developed forthe use of the corporate image in different mediums, including the website. Staff expertise is called on by other organisations. This year our graphic designers produced the plaque commemorating the Sydney Harbour wreck, Centurion, forthe NSW Heritage Office; they also helped the Norfolk Island Museum prepare an exhibition about Sirius. A ‘highly commended’ award was given to designer Daniel Ormella in the prestigious, national Museums Australia Publications Design Awards, for his Sailor Style dinner invitation.

Corporate support The museum is increasingly successful in forming and maintaining sponsor partnerships for special exhibitions. The exhibition Les Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture required equally extraordinary efforts to bring this priceless collection of 17th-to 19th-century French naval sculptural artefacts - all 20 tonnes of them - from Paris to Darling Harbour. Three sea and airfreight logistics companies - SDV (Australia), Cathay Pacific Cargo and AN L Container Line - supported the museum in this risky but wholly successful enterprise. The prestigious Swiss company IWC International Watch Co Schaffhausen sponsored the exhibition About Time, an appropriate and rewarding partnership.

The Welcome Wall This year we unveiled three new panels of the Welcome Wall, the museum’s lasting tribute to the six million people who have migrated across the seas to make their homes in Australia. National Director of Australia forthe United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Naomi Steer, unveiled 806 new names on panels 36 and 37 at an event held during Refugee Week in October 2004. An estimated 1,200 guests participated in the ceremony in which a number of people who arrived in Australia as refugees shared their unique stories of migration. Panel 38, with another 393 names, was unveiled in April during the Greek Festival of Sydney. His Excellency, Fotios-Jean Xydas, the Greek Ambassador to Australia, addressed a crowd of 900; the President of the Greek Orthodox Community, George Angelopoulos, also delivered a speech. In the past year 1,281 Welcome Wall names were registered which brings the total to just over 14,500 for the project. There are now 126 countries of origin, the top ten countries registered being England, Italy, Ireland (including Northern Ireland), Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Greece, Poland, Hungary and Malta.

Promotional activities for this period included advertising and editorials in a wide range of print media including regional and ethnic newspapers, specialist group publications, and wide-circuiation metropolitan newspapers. The October unveiling attracted positive coverage from the commercial network Channel 7, including a piece about the event in the evening news. This generated a high number of inquiries about the project from a broad cross-section of the community in the weeks that followed.

Members Membership is a loyalty program that rewards both the museum and Members. Membership is a source of revenue and a guarantee of enthusiastic advocacy. Our program of special Members events and additional benefits such as the Members Lounge provide Members with a sense of ownership and a deeper relationship with our maritime heritage than that experienced by the casual museum visitor. The past financial year was a period of relatively stable membership compared to the previous year when the introduction of free entry caused a drop in numbers. Membership at the end of the period was the highest since April 2004, mostly due to a popular program. We are confident that we can build on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gains, capitalising on the continuing presence of the ever-popular Endeavour replica and the exciting exhibitions on the way. Details of Member numbers and activities appear in a table below. Administrative changes included new membership cards - a smart looking credit card style card sporting an image of the museum. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more cost effective and durable card and will allow us to offer multiple-year memberships. Ultimately, the cards will contain all membership details on their magnetic strip, enabling us to use swipe terminals for easy and quick access to the museum, and providing us with data about the frequency of Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visits. We launched a new format email newsletter for Members. The new design has a more professional appearance with colour images and museum branding. The email package allows us to communicate more effectively with Members, who have welcomed this initiative. The Membership manager and staff continually strive to present imaginative and stimulating events, frequently themed to complement exhibitions. Many Members events this year featured well-known international and local speakers: popular programs included the one-day seminar Ancient Fleets of the Mediterranean, with three distinguished maritime archaeologists from the USA; a talk by Dianne Preston on her acclaimed new book about William Dampier, and a one-day seminar relating to the About Time exhibition with Professor Paul Davies as keynote speaker. This event was one of the best attended of the year, and attracted a great deal of media attention. An international Members cultural tour to southern India, run successfully last November-December, was the latest of a series of unique maritime-themed itineraries to Asia developed exclusively by this museum.

Statement by Council Members; Statements o f Financial Performance, Financial Position and Cash Flows; Schedules o f Commitments and Contingencies; and Notes to and forming part o f the Financial Statements

o f the Australian National M aritime M useum for the year ended 30 June 2005. The Council Members o f the Australian National M aritime Museum (the Museum) are responsible for preparing the financial statements that give a true and fair view o f the financial position and performance o f the Museum, and that comply with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, accounting standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia. The Council Members o f the M useum are also responsible for the maintenance o f adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial statements. A udit approach 1 have conducted an independent audit o f the financial statements in order to express an opinion on them to you. M y audit has been conducted in accordance with the Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free o f material misstatement. The nature o f an audit is influenced by factors such as the use o f professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability o f persuasive, rather than conclusive, evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. While the effectiveness o f m anagem ent’s internal controls over financial reporting was considered when determining the nature and extent o f audit procedures, the audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

I have performed procedures to assess whether, in all material respects, the financial statements present fairly, in accordance with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997, accounting standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with my understanding o f the M useum ’s financial position, and o f its performance as represented by the statements o f financial performance and cash flows. The audit opinion is formed on the basis o f these procedures, which included: • •

examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; and assessing the appropriateness o f the accounting policies and disclosures used, and the reasonableness o f significant accounting estimates made by the Council Members.

1 .1

Basis of A ccounting

The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a general purpose financial report. The statements have been prepared in accordance with: •

Finance Minister’s Orders (being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders (Financial Statements for reporting period ending on or after 30 June 2005));

•

Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board; and

•

Urgent Issues Group Abstracts.

The Statements of Financial Performance and Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. Assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are however not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. C onsolidation and associated c om pa ny. The financial statements show information for the economic entity only;

this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National Maritime Museum, and its wholly owned controlled entity, The Australian National Maritime Foundation. The results of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, with an initial contribution of $385,620. See note 25. The accounting policies of The Australian National Maritime Foundation are consistent with those of the Museum and its assets, liabilities and results have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in accordance with AAS24 - Consolidated Financial Reports. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 1.2 C ha ng es in A cco unting Policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in 2003-2004, except in respect of: the initial revaluation of property, plant and equipment on a fair value basis (see note 1.12); and the imposition of an impairment test for non-current assets carried at cost (see note 1.19). 1.3

R evenue

The revenues described in this Note are revenues relatingto the core operating activities of the Museum.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the relevant asset. Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract to provide the service. The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Receivables for goods and services are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collectability of the debt is judged to be less rather than more likely. Revenues from Government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Output Appropriations The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue. Resources Received Free o f Charge Services received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as revenue at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition. 1.4 Transactions by the G o ve rn m e n t as O w ner

Equity Injections Net assets received other than under a restructuring of administrative arrangements are treated as contributions by owners. 1 .5

E m p lo ye e B enefits

Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled. Liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits), and annual leave are measured at their nominal amounts. Other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of their reporting date are also measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal am ount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlem ent of the liability.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 All other employee benefit liabilities are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees' remuneration, including employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2005. In determining the present value of the liability, the Museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation. Superannuation Employees contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation Scheme. The liability for their superannuation benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. The Museum makes employer contributions to the Australian Government at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees. 1.6

Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The Museum has no finance leases. Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. 1.7

B orrow ing Costs

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 1 .8

G rants

The Museum recognises grant liabilities as follows. Most grant agreements require the grantee to perform services or provide facilities, or to meet eligibility criteria. In these cases, liabilities are recognised only to the extent that the services required have been performed or the eligibility criteria have been satisfied by the grantee.

In cases where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing of the agreement. 1.9

Cash

Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Interest is credited to revenue as it accrues. 1.10

O th er Financial Liabilities

Bills of exchange are carried atthe amount of their initial proceeds plus accrued interest. Trade creditors and accruals are recognised at their nominal amounts, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods and services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced). Interest payable is accrued overtime. 1.11

Acquisition of Assets

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at their fairvalue atthe date of acquisition. 1 .1 2

P rope rty (Land and Buildings), an d Infrastructure, Plant and E q u ip m e n t

Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total). Revaluations Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are carried at valuation. Revaluations undertaken up to 30 June 2002 were done on a deprival basis; revaluations since that date are at fairvalue. This change in accounting policy is required by Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1041 Revaluation of Non-Current Assets. Fair and deprival values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. Asset Class

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 Under both deprival and fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. At 30 June 2005, there were no assets in this situation (2004: nil). Frequency Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are revalued progressively in successive three-year cycles, so that no asset has a value greater than three years old. The Museum completed its asset revaluation cycle in 2004-05, with asset groups updated as follows: • •

exhibition fitouts have been revalued by type of asset in 2004-05; plant and equipment, including information technology equipment, have been revalued by type of asset in 2004-05;

•

leasehold improvements have been revalued in 2004-05;

•

leasehold land and buildings were revalued in 2003-04;

•

the National Maritime Collection has been revalued in 2002-03.

Assets in each class acquired after the commencement of a progressive revaluation cycle are not captured by the progressive revaluation then in progress. The Finance Minister’s Orders require that all property, plant and equipment assets be measured at up-to-date fair values from 30 June 2005 onwards. The current year is therefore the last year in which the Museum will undertake progressive revaluations. Conduct All valuations are conducted by an independent qualified valuer and take effect on 1 July each year. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the Museum using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvements orthe unexpired period of the lease. Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued. Depreciation and amortisation rates applyingto each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2 0 0 4 -0 5

The Collection is not depreciated because of its longterm nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 6(d). Intangibles The Museum's intangibles comprise software for internal use and are carried at cost. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the Museum's software is 5 -1 0 years (2003-04: 5 -1 0 years). 1.13

Inventories

Inventories held for resale by the Museum store are valued atthe lower of cost and net realisable value. 1.14

Taxation

The Museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and the goods and services tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST: •

except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and

•

except for receivables and payables.

1.15

Foreign Currency

Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables (if any) are translated atthe exchange rates current as at balance date. Associated currency gains and losses are not material. 1.16

Insurance

The Museum has insured for risks through the Government's insurable risk managed fund, called ‘Comcover’. Workers compensation is insured through Comcare Australia. 1.17

Com parative Figures

Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required. 1.18

Rounding

Amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to: •

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 1.19

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets carried at up-to-date fair value atthe reporting date are not subject to impairment testing. Non-current assets carried at cost or deprival value and held to generate net cash inflows have been tested for their recoverable amounts at the reporting date. The test compared the carrying amounts against the net present value of future net cash inflows. No write-down to recoverable amount was required (2004: nil). The non-current assets carried at cost or deprival value, which are not held to generate net cash inflows, have been assessed for indications of impairment. Where indications of impairment exist, the carrying amount of the asset is compared to its net selling price and depreciated replacement costand is written down to its higher of the two amounts, if necessary. 2.

The Australian Accounting Standards Board has issued replacement Australian Accounting Standards to apply from 2005-06. The new standards are the Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) and cannot be adopted early. The Australian Equivalents contain certain additional provisions which will apply to not-for-profit entities, including the Australian National Maritime Museum. Some of these provisions are in conflict with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and therefore the Museum will only be able to assert compliance with the Australian Equivalents to the IFRS. Existing Australian Standards that have no IFRS equivalent will continue to apply. Accounting Standard AASB 1047 Disclosing the Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial ReportingStandards requires thatthe financial statements for 2004-05 disclose: • •

an explanation of how the transition to AIFRS is being managed; narrative explanations of the key differences in accounting policies arising from the adoption of AIFRS; any known or reliably estimable information about the impacts on the financial report had it been prepared using AIFRS; and

•

if the impacts of the above are not known or reliably estimable, a statement to that effect.

Management o f the transition to Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards The Museum has taken the following steps in preparation towards the implementation of AIFRS: •

The Museum’s Finance and Audit Committee is tasked with oversight of the transition to and implementation of AIFRS. The Chief Finance Officer is formally responsible forthe project and reports regularly to the Finance and Audit Committee on progress against the formal plan approved by the Committee.

•

The plan requires the following key steps to be undertaken and sets deadlines for their achievement: —

All major accounting policy differences between current AASB standards and AIFRS were identified by 30 June 2004;

—

Identification of system changes necessary to be able to report under AIFRS, including those necessary to enable capture of data under both sets of rules for 2004-05 have been completed;

—

A transitional balance sheet as at 1 July 2004, under AIFRS was completed;

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 —

An AIFRS compliant balance sheet was also prepared during the preparation of the 2004-05 statutory financial reports; and

—

The 2004-05 Balance Sheet under AIFRS will be reported to the Department of Finance and Administration in line with their reporting deadlines.

•

The plan also addresses the risks to successful achievement of the above objectives and includes strategies to keep implementation on track to meet deadlines.

Major changes in accounting policy Changes in accounting policies under Australian Equivalents are applied retrospectively i.e. as if the new policy had always applied. This rule means that a balance sheet prepared under AIFRS must be made as at 1 July 2004 to allow the opening (IFRS’s) balances to be prepared for the 2004/05 comparatives, except as permitted in particular circumstances by AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. This will enable the 2 0 0 5-06 financial statements to report comparatives under AIFRS. Changes to major accounting policies are discussed in the following paragraphs. Impairment of Non-Current Assets The Museum's policy on impairment of non-current assets is at note 1.18. Under AIFRS these assets will be subject to assessment for impairment and, if there are indications of impairment, measurement of any impairment (impairment measurement must also be done, irrespective of any indications of impairment, for intangible assets not yet available for use). The impairment test is that the carrying amount of an asset must not exceed the greater of (a) its fair value less costs to sell and (b) its value in use. ‘Value in use' is the net present value of net cash inflows for for-profit assets of the Museum and depreciated replacement cost for other assets which would be replaced if the Museum were deprived of them. The most significant changes are that, for the Museum’s for-profit assets, the recoverable amount is only generally to be measured where there is an indication of impairment and that assets carried at up-to-date fair value, whether for-profit or not, may nevertheless be required to be written down if costs to sell are significant. Capitalised Interest Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are currently capitalised. It is expected that the Finance Minister’s Orders for 2005-06 will elect to expense all borrowing costs under AIFRS. Accordingly, borrowing costs capitalised as at 1 July 2005 will be written-off to accumulated results.

APPENDIX 19 | VOLUNTEER SPEAKERS PANEL

APPENDIX 19 VOLUNTEER SPEAKERS PANEL

A panel of experienced and enthusiastic volunteer speakers, working with manager of External Relations Bill Richards, continues to visit service clubs and similar organisations to promote the museum. Many of these speaking engagements result in group bookings for museum visits. In the year under review the panel developed several new PowerPoint presentations to enable members to talk on a wider range of museum topics. This is expected to generate increasing numbers of speaking opportunities in future years. There were 24 visits in the last financial year, four fewer than in the previous year.
