Chairman's message
This will be the last of the museum's Annual Reports that I will have the pleasure to present as my term as chairman of the Australian National Maritime Museum Council comes to an end at the close of this financial year. The report covers the year 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010, and addresses the key result areas and key performance indicators of the AN MM Strategic Plan 2009-2012. This year the museum site’s visitors exceeded half a million for the first time, despite the lingering effects of the global economic downturn and continuing uncertainties about the strength of a recovery. The organisation has shown adaptability and determination, and in such an environment it is to be commended for continuing to plan major and highly challenging projects, such as the 2010-11 voyage around Australia of our flagship, the replica of James Cook’s Endeavour. I have enjoyed working with the museum's dedicated Council, management, staff and volunteers. They have established the museum as a leading place in the nation’s cultural life, and have also gained a strong reputation among the maritime museums of the world. The myriad of exhibitions and acquisitions, programs and events, services and facilities that appear in this report show how well the museum has discharged its responsibilities, to preserve and interpret
19
the nation's maritime history and heritage. I would like to acknowledge the support of the Australian Government through its various heritage and cultural programs, and the many sponsors, donors and volunteers who have also provided support throughout the year. It has been a busy and very satisfying time and a great honour to have been chairman of this leading maritime museum. For an aging sailor it has particularly been a delight to reconnect with the sea through the museum and its activities in naval affairs and many related fields of interest. I take my last watch with thanks for all the support from Council, from our director, Mary Louise Williams and staff, and I welcome the incoming chairman Mr Peter Dexter am, whose long connections with the maritime world will bring most valuable guidance to the organisation. Peter Sinclair am c s c Chairman Australian National Maritime Museum Council

Director's overview
The dose o f the financial year came with the good news that the Australian National Maritime M useum has posted its all-time record visitor attendance, breaking the half million barrier for the first time since we opened to the public in 1991.
In 2009-10 we welcomed 503,778 Australian and overseas visitors onto the site. We also exceeded our goal for overall interactions with our wider public, nationwide and worldwide, exceeded our digitisation target and finished the year with a strong financial result. Among other things, those visitor numbers tell us that we have long since dispelled the notion that a maritime museum is a niche attraction. That in turn is a measure of our success in interpreting maritime history in a way that gives it the broadest possible relevance, to the widest number of people. What we provide as a national maritime museum is a way to understand the development and identity of our nation, an island continent surrounded by the seas. The stories we tell are everybody's.
Collection and exhibition highlights The year’s most exciting additions to the National Maritime Collection were the three decorated Polynesian weapons known as the ‘Omai relics’, collected during James Cook's second circumnavigation. Their provenance is remarkable, since they had remained in the family of their collector, master of HMS Adventure Tobias Furneaux, until very recently. The pieces add great depth to our holdings relating to Cook, Pacific exploration and the cultural exchanges that took place. A generous contribution from the Australian Government’s National Cultural Fleritage Account allowed us to secure the collection for $623,000.

01 the year in review director’s overview
Our year’s exhibition program opened with the bold and glamorous Exposed! The story of swimwear, a showcase for the very strong collection of swimming costumes and associated cultural material in the National Maritime Collection. It placed Australian swimwear in a global context of design, developing textile technology, swimming history and popular culture. And once it closed in our galleries, it joined four other exhibitions that we had touring to local and regional museums and venues across the country. This very important outreach program, which takes our collections to the nation, has received funding from the Australian Government’s programs National Collections Institutions Touring and Outreach (NCITO) and Visions of Australia. The travelling exhibition Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids provided us with a big summer season. Three years ago we began a collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, New York, The Field Museum, Chicago, Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau (Quebec), and Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta, to develop this exhibition that explored a host of fantastic creatures. It gave us a January visitation 30 per cent higher than the previous January and 60 per cent up on the next best Sydney
Partnerships Our most recent archaeological expedition, in December 2009, worked on the site where Matthew Flinders was dramatically shipwrecked in 1803 while sailing for England with the charts and journals of his survey of the Australian coastline. The expedition identified or confirmed a number of wreck sites. Importantly, it included a collaboration with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science to obtain important environmental information relating to remote coral reef systems. This was our second major archaeological expedition to tropical Queensland in 12 months, the result of a very fruitful partnership forged with John Mullen of the Silentworld Foundation, which has provided vessels, personnel and other support for large teams under the leadership of our senior maritime archaeologist. Collaborating organisations included Oceania Maritime, The Maritime Archaeological Association of Queensland, James Cook University and Flinders University. We have been working with the Royal Netherlands Embassy on a series of programs to cultivate our
museum’s figures for the period. Part of that success was due to strong media sponsorship support that gave
shared maritime history and cultural ties. One of these relates to the artefacts from four wrecks of early Dutch
the museum a high profile on television commercials, billboards and the backs of buses all over Sydney. It’s that sort of assistance that shows our governing council working most effectively for us, where its
East India Company ships found off Western Australia, shared between Australian and Dutch museums by

The Australian Netherlands Committee on Old Dutch Shipwrecks (ANCODS). The Netherlands artefacts are
coming back to Australia and some of the highlights of this collection will be displayed here before going on to Western Australia. Our corporate partners make a significant and positive difference to the quality of exhibitions and programs we are able to provide. Sincere thanks this year go to our friends Novotel Rockford hotels, Austereo, Channel Nine, Lloyd’s Register Asia, and the broadcaster SBS for its wonderful support promoting that very special project of ours, the Welcome Wall. We consider our outreach programs and our increasing number of partnerships with other cultural and academic organisations to be an important part of our work. We devote a special section of this annual report to these activities, beginning on page 18.
economic downturn continued to have a significant effect across the travel industry, our own voyage berth bookings were well below expectations. It became clear that we would be sailing into some severe losses that we could ill-afford. In its place we developed a program of shorter voyages better suited to the financial situation at the time, while looking to the future by working hard to plan for a circumnavigation of Australia in the years 2011-12. We remain fully committed to voyaging the ship to Australian ports and sharing the unique experience of 18th-century seamanship and shipboard life as widely as possible. At the end of the period under review we stood ready to launch the ambitious circumnavigation.
Organisational review Operational environment The museum is entering a different phase of its development with new opportunities, new technologies and changing circumstances. After nearly 20 years of operation we are facing the need to upgrade facilities; deal with a much bigger volunteer workforce of 850 or more people; operate and maintain an ocean going ship; face dramatic new communications media and new ways of providing public programs - all with rising costs in an economic environment that remains uncertain. A review of our organisational structure was one response (see next item). With great reluctance we had to call off the HM Bark Endeavour replica’s planned voyage to several ports along the Queensland coast in 2009. As the
above left: Several family and children's events staged for the museum’s Members were held on board the popular Endeavour replica. 14
above right: The new performance platform has encouraged new types of programs, such as this floating cinema.
On 24 May 2010 a new organisational structure was put in place. We now operate with two divisions - Operations and Collections & Exhibitions - and two smaller branches - Audiences and Commercial Services. The heads of divisions and branches, together with the executive governance officer and the chief financial officer, will join me to comprise the executive. This structure is shown in Appendix 11. The new Audience Branch is responsible for the development and delivery of a diverse range of real and virtual programs and products that will appeal to the museum’s existing users and attract new ones. The Commercial Services Branch is responsible for marketing the museum’s programs and services and maximising revenue returns from non-government sources.
01 the year in review director’s overview
The changes will help us to gear ourselves to a challenging future involving new communications technologies, better commercial practices, and better research on new and potential audiences. We aim to strengthen corporate support and strengthen even further the leadership we provide to regional and remote communities.
Infrastructure The Federal Budget on 11 May 2010 brought the welcome news that the museum had received the go-ahead for a long-planned $8.8 million upgrade to the eastern side of the main museum building. This will include the construction of a Multi-purpose Education and Public Programs Facility, a major refurbishment of Yots Cafe, and enhanced facilities for our volunteers whose numbers have grown dramatically. Completion of the new performance platform - a handsome, large area of decking constructed over a portion of our main vessel basin - and the addition of a visiting vessel pontoon, have opened up options for a range of visitor programs and activities. It was trialled immediately as an outdoor cinema and concert band performance platform. It allowed Bayleaf, the operator of our waterside Yots Cafe, to host a lively spring jazz entertainment program. We know it will be of great benefit in many future outdoor events. The visiting vessel pontoon’s most notable early visitor was the young sailor Jessica Watson who berthed her yacht Ella’s Pink Lady there immediately after

completing her solo voyage around the world. Visitors flocked to the museum to see the famous yacht. Two infrastructure enhancements to the HM Bark Endeavour replica are worth noting. The ship was fitted with a state of the art satellite communications system, for the safety of passengers and crew at sea, and to allow internet, email and live video to be streamed from the ship. Voyage experiences can now be shared through the various social media. And the ship's new safety-aloft system, developed by museum personnel in consultation with other tall ship practitioners to vastly improve the safety of crew working in the rig, received an honourable mention in the 2009 Comcover Awards for Excellence in the Risk Initiative category. We took down the historic 40.5 metre-high (132’ 9”) signal mast at the front of the museum for repairs to some of its timber spars. It was erected in 1912 at the Royal Australian Navy’s Garden Island Dockyard in Sydney, where it signalled weather and other messages to naval vessels in the harbour. Restored and moved to the museum in 1991, this year we repaired and slightly relocated it. A new security control room was completed with upgraded access control and CCTV throughout the museum, resulting in improved security of the collection and surrounding areas. Construction commenced on new workshop and office annexes to improve facilities at Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre. The museum reduced energy and water usage, and more waste is being recycled and less is going to landfill. A report in section 2 provides the figures.
Outlook Exhibitions in the coming period that will continue to attract strong attendances at our site will include Quest for the South Magnetic Pole from the South Australian Museum and South Australian Maritime Museum; the American production Planet Shark - Predator or Prey opening for the summer; and Macquarie’s Light, our contribution to the bicentenary of Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s arrival in Australia. Sons ofSinbad - the photographs of Alan Villiers was curated by our staff from the archive of the famous Australian writer’s photography held by the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. It will travel to Tasmania where Villiers was a journalist. And we will open the poignant On their own - Britain’s child migrants, a collaboration with National Museums Liverpool, UK. Our Classic & Wooden Boat Festival is making a very welcome return in the spring of 2010. The festival has become a huge event over the years, with its lively mix of entertainment, food, heritage displays, marine jumble sales and those wonderful visiting classic boats occupying every available square metre in the water and on dry land. This year we are welcoming as festival patron Ian Kiernan - well-known yachtsman, founder of Clean Up Australia, and an early member of the museum’s governing Council. The 2011-12 circumnavigation of our superb replica of HM Bark Endeavour will challenge us with its massive organisational demands. The complete replacement of the ship's rigging alone will be a huge undertaking. We will be offering 600 places on its 11 separate voyages, giving people the opportunity to experience and take above left: Exhibition Sons of Sindbad - the photographs of Alan Villiers opened at the end of the financial year. 16

part in 18th-century seamanship under the guidance of our experts. And we will fulfill our commitment to giving more and more Australian communities the opportunity to inspect the museum ship when it reaches their port. The period of quite major site works will inevitably affect some of the programs we offer. Scheduling and planning will give priority to minimising disruptions.
Cool museum We know quite well that this museum is a muchappreciated part of the country’s cultural and historical landscape - our visitor figures, the strength of our Members and volunteers programs, all tell us that. But it’s always good to get a new take on how the world sees us. Britain’s The Sunday Times last year named the Australian National Maritime Museum one of the top 12 ‘cool museums' in the world! It’s the only Australian museum on the list, and it ranks us in an elite group along with The Science Museum in London, Le Musee du Quai Branly, Paris, and the American Museum of Natural History, New York ‘For any visitor,’ the article says, ‘Sydney is defined by its dazzling blue harbour, and that’s what makes a trip to the National Maritime Museum so essential. Its fleet of ships of all sizes is limitlessly fascinating ... best of all is the Endeavour, an ocean-going reconstruction of the Whitby collier in which Captain Cook “discovered” Australia.’

MM APRS grants to regional and community organisations One of the museum’s most important cultural outreach programs is the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAPSS), administered by us and jointly funded with the Australian Government through the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. Grants of up to $10,000 are awarded to non-profit maritime museums and historical societies, usually community-based and run by volunteers, to fund restoration, conservation, collection management and exhibition development projects. The scheme was initiated in 1995 and since then 210 projects across all Australian states and most of its territories have been supported. This year we awarded $98,169 to 21 heritage projects. Details of these appear in Appendix 01.
Internship program Volunteers from regional and remote maritime museums receive financial support to work at AN MM for a period, gathering skills and making important professional contacts. In 2009-10, the interns were Des Neil, a volunteer at the Mid-North Coast Maritime Museum, Port Macquarie, who will apply knowledge gained during his internship to upgrading his museum’s storage facilities; and Jennifer Gilbert, a volunteer at the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum in Victoria, who will utilise her new display technology skills in managing her museum’s expanding archival repository.

Curatorial Staff archaeologists provided information on underwater cultural heritage in Oceania for the UNESCO Secretariat (Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage) and assisted the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts to develop a database of relics associated with the National Shipwrecks Database. Curatorial and other museum staff delivered or published lectures, papers or articles, or appeared in various media, to a variety of external audiences listed in Appendixes 6, 7 and 8.
Sail Away and travelling exhibition program Sail Away is a program of travelling exhibitions available to two tiers of museums - those with a museumstandard environment and those close to it. It uses specially designed, easily managed and installed modules of hanging artworks and photographs. We also tour more complex exhibitions. During the reporting period the program toured or prepared exhibitions Little Shipmates - seafaring pets; Joseph Banks and the flora of the Australian east coast; Exposed! the story of swimwear; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island prints from the Australian National Maritime Museum Collection. They will be seen in more than 30 venues in total. Their destinations in 2009-12 are listed on pages 21-30 in the ‘Temporary, floating and travelling exhibitions’ section of this report.

The Australian National Maritime Museum provides a high level of support to Sydney Heritage Fleet by donating extensive office, collection storage and workshop accommodation and services, plus berthing for its major asset the barque James Craig at our Wharf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre.
The Australian Register of Historic Vessels The Australian Register of Historic Vessels is an online database (www.anmm.gov.au/arhv) building a national picture of historic vessels and their designers, builders and owners. Outreach activities by the section during the reporting period include visiting Wentworth Rotary Museum to provide a condition report on its Olympic rowing shell; and attending the Australian Maritime Museums Council (AMMC) Conference in Warrnambool and Geelong Wooden Boat Festival, providing advice about heritage vessels.
Fleet Staff of the museum section responsible for floating vessel management and maintenance continued an association with RAN dive teams, assisting with the training of Navy divers; supported the RAN Sailing Association providing a start vessel for the RANSA sail day; supported the Army training division on bomb training on board HMAS Vampire.

HM Bark Endeavour replica The acclaimed Australian-built replica of James Cook’s HM Bark Endeavour has been under AN MM management since 2005. It exposes thousands of visitors to its authentic on-board museum displays and offers voyage crew a unique experience of 18th-century seamanship. In 2009-10 the replica’s short-haul sailing program of overnight, half-day and short offshore voyages sold out its capacity for 507 passengers and voyage crew.
International Museum executive and staff have hosted delegates from the developing China Maritime Museum in Shanghai, sharing information, knowledge and experience to assist a major Asian maritime heritage project.

Education Staff developed education kits to accompany the museum’s Sail Away and travelling exhibition programs to regional and community museums around Australia, extending the educational components of these exhibitions to the schools visiting the host venues. During this period they developed an attractive kit for Exposed! The story of swimwear.
Vaughan Evans Library The museum’s public research facility, named for the maritime historian whose personal library became the core of its now unrivalled maritime history collection, provides research enquiry services to people unable to visit in person. This year it assisted 2,293 external enquiries. The library’s online research resources include extensive indexes of ship illustrations, digitised periodicals including its collection of 1920-30S Australian Motor Boat and Yachting Monthly (increasingly in demand for restoration research), The Harbour (1920s), and all back issues of the museum’s quarterly journal Signals (1986 until present). Some rare books and copies of shipping registers have also been digitised for on-line research.

Other outreach activities during the reporting period included hosting visits by library students from Charles Sturt University and UTS Sydney, and the preparation of a PowerPoint presentation of the library's family history resources for the Museum Speakers Program.
Volunteers During the financial year, the museum placed six students for work experience.
Welcome Wall The Welcome Wall is the museum's tribute to migrants, and encourages people to recall and record their stories of coming to live in Australia. Its online database makes these stories available to family historians and researchers everywhere. This year we unveiled 2,311 new names on six panels of the Welcome Wall in two unveiling ceremonies, attended by over 3,500 visitors.
Venue hire and catering Twice annually, the TAFE College of Event Management students are invited into the museum for a small forum and site inspection of the venues operation. This is hosted by the Venue Manager and the Food & Beverage Manager of Bayleaf Catering.

Performance information for departmental outputs The Key Performance ndicators of the Portfolio Budget Statement (PBS) for financial year 2009-10 are given below. They relate to the single outcome: Outcome 1 Increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia’s maritime heritage by managing the National Maritime Collection and staging programs, exhibitions and events
PBS Key Performance Indicators 2009-2010 The AN MM’s targets for the 2009-10 budget year are: ■ 2.5 million interactions by people with the exhibitions, programs, publications and activities produced by the museum Resuit 3,432,349 interactions ■ A five percent increase in virtual interactions Result achieved as per above ■ 95% rate of visitor satisfaction Result 93% rate of visitor satisfaction ■ Increased access to the collection, measured through the number of items recorded digitally and the number of items on display Result Digitisation of the National Maritime Collection expanded by 292% (target 10%) to 3,167 items; number of items on display increased by 7% (target 5%) ■ Strengthened the AN M M's reputation as a cultural institution, measured through collaboration on heritage projects and the number of articles published Result collaborations increased to 140 (2008-09:135); articles published 77 (2008-09:67)
Corporate governance The museum is a statutory authority within the Environment, Heritage, Water and the Arts portfolio. Its enabling legislation, the Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990, established a governing Council to ensure the proper and efficient performance of its functions. At 30 June 2010, the Council comprised nine members including the museum’s director and a representative of the Royal Australian Navy. The full Council met four times during the reporting period. Business is facilitated through five committees (Finance & audit; Major capital works; Marketing, programs & sponsorship; Collections development & exhibitions; and Fleet). They meet in advance of each full Council meeting, and additionally if required. These committees are charged with providing specific advice to Council and management on the matters identified in their respective charters. Each committee comprises the director and a minimum of two other councillors, one of whom acts as chair. All councillors are welcome to attend any committee meeting in an ex-officio capacity (refer Appendix 14). The Council operates under a governance policy and undergoes periodic self-assessment. A number of councillors are members of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and subject to its code of conduct. All councillors are aware of the need to comply with both the letter and the spirit of relevant legislation. Operations are informed by the highest museological standards and codes of practice and all staff are bound by Australian Public Service values and code of conduct. The museum prepares triennial strategic plans and annual operating plans for ministerial approval in accordance with the AN M M Act. In addition, a charter of operations was prepared and published in response to the Government’s New Directions for the Arts policy. The Minister receives biannual reports on governance and strategic matters, and the chairman and the director attend annual meetings with the Minister to review
01 the year in review statutory information requirements
these. A senior departmental representative attends all Council meetings as an observer; and copies of both draft and final minutes are forwarded to both the Minister and the department. The museum is also subject to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and in addition to its regular annual reporting obligations to the Minister and the parliament, also lodges a CAC Act compliance report with both the Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts and the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. All museum staff are aware of the importance of good governance and governance is a standing item on the agenda for the executive management group's fortnightly meetings.
Freedom of information There were no requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. The museum’s FOI officer is Russell Smylie, phone 02 9298 3619, email rsmylie@anmm.gov.au
Judicial decisions and reviews by outside bodies There were no judicial decisions that affected the museum during the period under review. There were also no reports on museum operations by the Auditor-General, a parliamentary committee or the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
Effects of ministerial directions The museum received no formal notification or ministerial directions during the reporting period. The National Code of Practice for the Construction Industry, the Commonwealth Procurement and Cost Recovery Guidelines, and the Foreign Exchange Policy continue to apply to the museum by virtue of notices issued in preceding reporting periods.
Indemnities and insurance premiums for officers No current or former officer has been given any indemnity and there are no agreements to give any. Normal directors and officers insurance is carried through Comcover and the annual premium was $3,336.
Occupational health and safety The museum has comprehensive and compliant health and safety management arrangements affirming its commitment 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. This commitment also extends to the museum’s volunteers, contractors and visitors. The OH&S Committee met six times. The committee includes elected staff representatives from three designated work areas and all have received appropriate training. Regular workplace inspections occurred and staff have access to ergonomic assessments as well as free screen-based vision testing and influenza shots. Outdoor staff are provided with protective clothing, sunglasses and sunscreen and workshop staff are given biannual hearing tests. OH&S is included in the site induction given to all new employees, volunteers and contractors. Online hazard identification and accident and incident databases have been established to facilitate notification and remedial action. There were no incidents reportable under section 68 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991. There were six claims for compensation by staff and 7.5 staff days were lost due to injury.
Environment protection and biodiversity The museum does not administer any legislation nor has any appropriations directly related to the principles of ecologically sustainable development. However, its sole budgeted outcome is increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's maritime heritage by managing the National Maritime Collection and staging programs, exhibitions and events, all of which carry environmental implications. The museum’s environmental management policy expresses its commitment to minimising the environmental impact of its operations. The environmental management system retained its AS/NZ ISO 14001:2004 accreditation following a surveillance audit during the reporting period. Targets relating to waste streams and reduced consumption of water and electricity were achieved. Environmental issues are now considered a natural and integrated part of the land- and water-based operations of the museum. The museum is also fully committed to sustainable development, and proposed site developments currently in the planning stage will ultimately comply with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

HM Bark Endeavour replica In April 2010, Endeavour sailed with a newly developed short-haul voyage plan that presented a diverse sailing program to replace the cancelled Queensland voyages reported elsewhere. They included High-seas Adventures, offshore passages of four to five days. On one of these the ship moored off Captain Cook's landing site at Kurnell for the Meeting of Two Cultures ceremony held to mark the 240th anniversary of the landing in 1770, organised by the Sutherland Shire Council. We also offered three Overnight Experiences that gave the general public the opportunity stay overnight on the vessel moored in Sydney Harbour, with themed presentations by experts from Sydney Observatory and

Earlier in the year the replica, carrying museum Members, was again flagship of the Tall Ships event on Australia Day. These voyages were documented on a number of social media websites including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and the museum’s blog page. During the year, our independently designed and managed safety-aloft system was recognised by both State and Federal safety authorities. We have received a finalist award for the 2009 NSCA National Safety Awards of Excellence and an honourable mention from Comcare for excellence in Risk Management.

Public and community programs
Education
The museum’s range of visitor programs continues to grow as we welcome new and diverse audiences through our doors. In addition to complementing a strong exhibitions schedule, our calendar of public programs this year has celebrated visiting vessels;
The museum's education programs continue to generate new audiences and partnerships as well as repeat visitation. New and existing programs and resources support our exhibitions and vessels and open new pathways to knowledge. A diverse range of curriculum-focused programs ensures visiting students and teachers are informed, challenged, entertained and encouraged in their learning. School programs and resource material were produced for the major temporary exhibitions, in particular Exposed!

entertained family groups; commemorated important anniversaries; honoured maritime achievements; encouraged discussion and debate; and generally strengthened connections with the museum’s public and partners. In an effort to make our programs as inclusive as possible, staff have developed touch tours for people with vision impairment and Auslan-interpreted guided tours of the museum for people with hearing difficulties, creating a new access program for visitors with disability for submarine Onslow. We participated in the Flags Ahoy creative art program to mark International Day of people with Disability. In October, the Passenger’s Theatrette was converted into an artist’s studio for Sydney-based artist Jennie Pry who undertook a residency in this space three days per week, drawing inspiration from the Exposed! exhibition. As part of the winter school holiday program, professional artists from Circus Solarus held drop-in workshops to create a massive, eclectic, sculptural ship structure. Appendix 2 provides a complete catalogue of the number and diversity of all these programs.

exhibition) and Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids. Our new Youth Workshops were designed to engage children aged 8 -14 years and were booked to capacity. In the Mythic Inks Stencil Art Workshop participants created their own stencil artwork inspired by a tour through the exhibition, silkscreened T-shirts, and printed a collaborative mural for display at the museum. For three days in March we exposed the museum to a new audience of young parents by hosting NSW Playgroups Week, with 3,000 people participating in activities around the site. Special guests included Federal Minister for Community Services, Jenny Macklin, plus children’s entertainers Peter Combe, My Friend Mark, Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus. Adult programs included a new series of our successful cruise forums, the special programs that combine exhibition visits, lectures and on-the-water tours. These were themed on 'Historic harbour pools’, ‘Pearling and whaling - buttons, baleen and blubber’ and ‘Sydney Harbour - A playground teeming with life’.

Major acquisitions included several early issues of Signal codes for British ships to assist with identification of paintings; a rare patent on lifesaving rockets; and ship technology texts. We increased holdings of periodicals
Venues experienced an extremely disruptive year taking into account both the global financial crisis and proposed site redevelopment. In anticipation of the scheduled building works, Yots Cafe’s 2009 Christmas bookings closed in the first quarter. In February 2010,
the Daily Commercial News on microfilm 1900-1971 plus the Transactions of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, 1860-2006, on DVD. Ongoing releases of primary records from archival institutions and new web-based resources for maritime history and family history research have had many positive impacts for library staff and users. Library staff have worked hard to maintain service levels and minimise response times for the public enquiry service while short-staffed. To reduce costs and improve efficiency, the library implemented remote hosting of the library system with the vendor SydneyPlus International. An online payment form for donations in lieu of research is being implemented. Library volunteer Eric Wilcock continued his long-term journal indexing project. Initiatives for sustainability include the acquisition of a scan-to-file facility for one of the library microfilm reader printers. Encouraging library staff to send links to online full-text resources instead of hardcopies as part of their answers to public enquiries is also another step to try to cut down on paper use. This has been made easier by the release of the National Library’s Trove service and the Australian Newspapers online, and the availability of some of the library’s key reference resources such as Lloyd's register in the major digital repositories.
building works saw the closure of commercial bookings in the Wharf 7 Conference Room. HMAS Vampire closed in April 2010 for urgent dry-docking, with two on-board functions cancelled as a result. The trend over the 2009 Christmas season was towards smaller bookings of 50-100 guests. This resulted in a positive financial outcome for the smaller venues, while the largest capacity venue, the North Wharf Marquee, experienced a 50 per cent downturn in bookings. Collaborative marketing campaigns with Bayleaf and Mondo Bartenders to secure Christmas functions had limited success and Christmas revenue was down $132,000 on the previous year. This reduction in Christmas bookings was experienced across other Sydney unique venues as a result of the economic climate. Consequently marketing efforts redoubled. AN MM Venues, Bayleaf Catering, Funkionality & Lippsinc Entertainment combined their new RSVP corporate databases to produce a successful familiarisation in the Terrace Room, Yots Cafe and Vampire. Bayleaf continued with innovative marketing strategies including extended trading in Yots Cafe on Friday evenings, and Live Jazz on the performance platform throughout September and October 2009.
Sydney By Sail Sydney By Sail is a successful commercial enterprise operated from the museum waterfront by former Olympix sailor 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 and corporate sailing. It benefits the museum not just by its commercial return, but by giving our visitors the opportunity to extend their museum experience onto the water, so that the museum becomes their gateway to the experience of sail and Sydney Harbour.
The Store In the 2009-10 financial year the Retail & Merchandise section significantly exceed its targeted sales and profit figures, partly due to the Mythic Creatures exhibition which lent itself particularly well to merchandising, and the very successful Charles Darwin exhibition,
which attracted both the academic and family demographic. Product relating to the museum’s touring exhibition Exposed! The story of swimwear was sold on a wholesale basis to exhibiting institutions. The Store continues to grow as a business and this has become evident through its experienced staff, exhibition-related merchandise and family-oriented client base. Online shopping continues to grow, with over 1,200 products now available to purchase online. New book titles are added every week. The range of ANMM-branded merchandise increased, including specially designed and built models of both HMAS Vampire and Onslow, and a range of HM Bark Endeavour and Captain Cook items that also helped to increase wholesale sales. The retail and merchandising manager is currently president of the Museum Shops Association of Australia, and runs their annual conference and advice seminars for delegates.

Curatorial sections The work of the curatorial sections in developing exhibitions, researching and acquiring additions to the National Maritime Collection, providing professional services and advice, and partnering with a diverse range of organisations, is reflected in many sections of this annual report particularly in Section 1 The Year in Review. The list of selected acquisitions to the National Maritime Collection that appears in Appendix 3, and the list of donors to the collection in Appendix 4, reveal the diversity of the areas covered by our holdings. Publications, lectures, and media appearances of the curatorial sections are listed in Appendixes 6, 7 and 8..
Temporary and travelling exhibitions Exposed! The story of swimwear, a historical overview of swimwear that includes the work of famous contemporary designers, has succeeded in attracting the audience that’s so elusive to museums - young adults. It travelled then to Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland, with our own staff installing it at every venue. The large international exhibition Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids occupied three of our galleries. Special effects created by our lighting designers entranced visitors with a Chinese parade dragon, mythical giant bird and a kraken rigged in our gallery spaces, fully utilising the architecture of the museum’s lofty structures.

Both the museum’s collection and its research activities were highlighted in the Tasman Light gallery, where Australian holiday posters and photographs from the museum’s recent maritime archaeology expeditions to the Great Barrier Reef were displayed. Intertwined journeys - Tu Do and the Lu family presented the story of a Vietnamese refugee family, their voyage here in the fishing boat Tu Do (now in our collection and displayed at our wharves), and their lives in Australia today. Our curators located the family and traced their lives here, recorded by our photographer's engaging contemporary portraits. The National Collections Institutions Touring and Outreach (NCITO) program and the Visions of Australia program provided generous support for our travelling exhibitions. NCITO funding included development of On their own: Britain's child migrants and for touring Saltwater Freshwater.
Maritime archaeology In December 2009 the museum continued its successful partnership with the Silentworld Foundation (part of Silentworld Ltd, an Australian-based shipping company), to undertake a maritime archaeological and marine biological survey and assessment of the aptly named Wreck Reefs, an isolated coral reef system and shipwreck trap that lies across the main outer shipping route between Sydney and Asia. The team led by the museum’s senior maritime archaeologist included

volunteers from the Silentworld Foundation, students from Flinders University in South Australia, marine biologists from the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, and archaeologists from the ANMM, the Department of the Environment, Water, Fleritage and the Arts, and the Maritime Archaeological Association of Queensland. Their task was to relocate and survey the wreck sites of HMS Porpo/seand Cato (1803), Mahaica (1854) and Jane (1856) along with the associated survivors’ camps on Porpoise Cay and the guano and whaling station on Bird Islet. The four shipwreck sites along with the remnants of the camps and settlements on the cays were recorded in detail with cameras and metal detectors, and small amounts of diagnostic material were removed (under permit) for later investigation.
USA Gallery The USA Gallery is the legacy of a generous endowment by the USA to Australia in the Bicentennial year 1988. Its purpose is to highlight the longstanding maritime links between the two culturally related nations on either side of the Pacific Rim. The USA Gallery's newest exhibition David Moore: Portraits of a shipping company, which opened in May 2010, stems from a collaboration between the famous Australian photographer David Moore (1927-2003) and the US container ship operator Columbus Line, this collaboration endured for over 20 years and created a unique archive of photographs that defines an era of Australia's commercial maritime history. In May 2010 USA Gallery senior curator Paul Hundley attended the Council of American Maritime Museum annual general meeting and the North American Society for Oceanic History conference on maritime environments. His presentation A Tale of Two Shipwrecks’ drew on his experience as a qualified maritime archaeologist and member of the AN MM’s diving team on the 2009 Wreck Reefs expedition (previous item). It compared the environmental impacts of the American whaler Lion, wrecked on the Queensland reef in 1856, and the recent grounding of the Shen Neng 1 on the Great Barrier Reef.

The charter has been posted on our web site. It dovetails well with the work that the museum put into developing the Indigenous protocol called Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM 2005) to provide guidance on issues that can impact of museum programs and procedures, to help us and other organisations to interpret Indigenous cultures authentically and respectfully. During the reporting period, objects in the Bora gallery representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander maritime cultures underwent a major changeover. The gallery’s main emphasis is now on artworks. Assistant director Collections & Exhibitions, Michael Crayford, continues to pursue overseas touring opportunities for the ‘Saltwater’ collection of Yirrkala bark paintings of sea country. Four Indigenous watercraft in the museum’s collection have been listed on the Australian Register of Historic Vessels, fostering further research in this area. The museum has an extensive collection of over 1,000 ilma by Bardi artist Roy Wiggan - colourful sculptures of wood and twine used in dance performances by the Bardi people. Following research completed last year to document this collection, the geographical area of Australia’s Kimberley region encompassed by the associated storyline has been defined. A project to capture Roy Wiggan’s story in film, photography and performance is progressing through negotiation. Over 1,000 of the ilma were registered, photographed and rehoused by the Registration and Conservation sections.
Registration and Conservation ■ Achieved significant clean-up of our collection data through research by staff to identify problems and SQL scripting to amend large quantities of data. Some 48,000 object names have been added to TMS and 97% of object records now have data in the object name field. 2,600 credit lines and 2,728 classifications have been added to object records where these fields were previously empty.

This data clean-up improves our ability to search the database and utilise our collection records ■ Assisted Visitor Services to contribute 50 learning objects to the Learning Federation project
The museum has adopted the Indigenous Australian Art Charter of Principles for Publicly Funded Collecting Institutions as a matter of policy, as an expression of our commitment to upholding the rights of Indigenous Australian artists, and positively influencing Indigenous collections practice in Australia and internationally.
■ Registered several large collections including the Beatrice Kerr and Bernard O’Connor archive collections, the Lot 41 collection and the AMSA (Australia Maritime Safety Authority) collection, and made significant inroads into our backlog of unregistered collections

Australian Register of Historic Vessels (ARHV) The Australian Register of Historic Vessels is an online database (www.anmm.gov.au/arhv) coordinated and operated by the museum that is building a national picture of historic vessels and their designers, builders and owners. Its council includes representatives of Sydney Heritage Fleet; the Western Australia Museum; the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts; the Classic Yacht Association of Australia and the Naval Historical Society of Australia. This year the number of heritage entries on the register increased by 64 vessels to a total of 380 craft now documented. Six audio-visual items for vessels on the register were added to the ARHV website, and 13 reference pages. In addition to his work on the ARHV, its curator David Payne is coordinating the completion of four Vessel Management Plans for craft in the National Maritime Collection. He also provided interpretation about ANMM collection vessel, Ben Lexcen’s 1959 18-foot skiff Taipan, to the media at a time of national interest in controversial claims about its designer's later work on the America’s Cup winning yacht Australia II.
Fleet Far from being static displays, the museum's historic vessels continue to be an active part of the life of Sydney Harbour. During Australia Day celebrations at Darling Harbour, our Vietnamese refugee boat Tu Do conveyed a group of newly naturalised Australians in the parade around Cockle Bay. Our famous WWII commando raider Krait is the focus of the annual Armistice Day service held every year at the museum on 11 November, attended strongly by surviving veterans of Z Special Unit Association. The vessel also participated in the Anzac Day celebrations, taking ex-Z Special Unit members for a cruise around Sydney Harbour with their families. The gaff ketch Kathleen
48
Gillett, veteran of the first Sydney-Hobart yacht race, participated in the arrival of Jessica Watson on Ella’s Pink Lady at the end of her solo around-the-world voyage. And our ex-RAN patrol boat HMAS Advance again participated as the start-boat for the annual RANSA regatta. Eight vessels were slipped or docked during the reporting period for hull surveys, maintenance and anti-fouling. Our Daring class destroyer HMAS Vampire was the largest ship to be docked, with a major refit carried out by Thales at Garden Island dockyard during June. A full ultrasonic analysis was carried out to determine the integrity of the hull. Some of the steel plating was below the required specified thickness, and doubler plates were added to ensure the watertight integrity and extended life of Vampire. Structural work was undertaken to improve visitors’ experience of this unique museum vessel, including installing viewing panels into inaccessible areas including the B gun turret, gearbox and engine room. The ongoing maintenance for our timber vessels alongside our wharves - tugboat ESareki, Krait and pearling lugger John Louis - has created a great deal of interest. The ex-naval officers' motor launch MB172 commenced a full restoration and refit by Fleet staff, inspected during several visits by museum Members on guided tours. This is the first Fleet vessel to be placed in our new Wharf 7 repair facility. Our shipkeepers and Fleet staff, together with members of the Volunteers and HMAS Vampire Association, work throughout the year to preserve these vessels and have them open for the public and all interested parties. Fleet staff also provided guidance to visitors, members of the public, and other museums on vessel management and operations. One of this museum’s shipwrights, Lee Graham, supported the dive team for the maritime archaeological Wreck Reefs expedition in the Coral Sea off the Queensland coast (reported above under Maritime Archaeology). Environment protection initiatives included installation of a safety spill boom kit on the wharf areas for any accidental spillage that may occur; installation of a decanting station on the south wharf with safety save-all to catch any run-off from oily waste; and provision of additional pumps to assist in salvage operations on all wharves.

Marketing The museum displayed remarkable resilience this year, in spite of general pessimism in the tourism and attraction industry. Visitation was the highest since opening in 1991. A strong exhibition program, together with higher than usual domestic tourism, more than compensated for the decline in international tourism. The museum’s free entry policy also provided a strong incentive to visit during this time of economic constraint. There were significant cuts to the marketing budget in the last financial year, resulting in the cancellation of some advertising media. The impact of this change to the marketing mix was minimised by the excellent pro bono support outlined in the sponsorship report (below).
Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids spanned two school holiday periods and recorded a higher number of visitors than any previous ANMM exhibition. A diverse marketing mix included a five-week long Facebook competition developed as a trial in using social media advertising, and targeted young users with an interest in fantasy and science fiction. The marketing campaign for the HM Bark Endeavour replica voyage program was highly successful, with all places onboard selling out within two months of its release. A significant online campaign included
We continued to explore new online and social media marketing opportunities. For the exhibition Exposed! The story of swimwear, the iconic 1964 image of Peggy Moffitt modelling a topless swimsuit by Rudi Gernreich was used across all marketing material from a one-column advertisement to a full-page ad in the centenary edition of Vogue Australia. Online advertising appeared on the Harper's Bazaar website. A 20,000 print run of an Avant postcard was distributed to identified target audience groups.
a dedicated Endeavour Voyages mailing-list, and Endeavours Facebook fan page. After a review of museum marketing materials, a set has been produced that maintained a consistent, uncluttered, contemporary and strong maritime look. The final piece in this set, the new perspective-style Museum Navigator, was surveyed at front of house by the visiting public. There was an overwhelmingly positive response, with all participants complimenting its user-friendly style. This guide is now being translated into the four most commonly spoken languages by our visitors: Chinese, French, Japanese and German.

Media The museum’s innovative exhibition Exposed! The story of swimwear drew national and international media attention. Museum photographs of models parading historical and modern garments, with accompanying stories about the exhibition, were published as far afield as India, Germany, Spain, China and the USA. The exhibition featured in close to 100 stories across all media - magazines, newspapers, radio, television and news and magazine websites. At the year’s end, Exposed/was touring Australian regional venues, and still generating media stories. The tally of recorded stories about the museum declined from a peak of 1,056 in 2008-09 to 841 this year. This decline can be explained partly by the cancellation of the Endeavour replica’s planned voyage to North Queensland. In the previous year, when Endeavour toured to Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Newcastle between August and October, more than 150 stories were generated in metropolitan and regional media. A high point in the media year came when Channel 9's national program Today delivered six weather crosses from the museum on each of two days early in the big Christmas-New Year holiday period. National and international media interest peaked again in May 2010 when youthful solo sailor Jessica Watson berthed her yacht Ella’s Pink Lady at the museum for a week on completion of her epic voyage around the world. Appendix 8 lists the media appearances made by staff in the year under review.
Publications With our colleagues at the Australian Association for Maritime History we funded and administered the 2009 Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize that we run every two years. The winner was John Gascoigne's superb Captain Cook: Voyager Between Worlds. This journey into the cultures of two great maritime societies - those of 18th-century England and Polynesian Tahiti - is a fine contribution to Cook scholarship. The museum’s flagship publication, the quarterly magazine Signals, continued to grow in size and the quality of its coverage of Australian maritime heritage. In addition to showcasing essays and articles by museum staff about our exhibitions, collections and programs, it also attracts contributions from noted external contributors.

The publications manager, a specialist in Asian maritime history, developed a new Asian tour itinerary for museum Members and the public, this time to explore the floating world of Cambodia. The 16-day tour which will depart in November 2010 was promoted successfully and by 30 June most of its places had sold, 33% to repeat customers from his earlier tours of maritime Indonesia and southern India. International tours led by museum experts are prestigious activities to offer to the members of museums and art galleries. They are usually associated with art and archaeology. Ours deepen our Members’ understanding of the maritime and cultural heritage of the Asian region - something that has frequently been specified as an key national priority.
Members Over the past financial year, membership has decreased slightly but is still in a historically healthy position. Our Members events program continues to promote and interpret our maritime history and contemporary happenings, and assists Members to engage with the museum at a sophisticated level. Our diverse and broad range of talks, lectures, tours, harbour cruises and special family events are often themed on the major exhibitions of the year, adding additional layers of interpretation to the objects and labels. The lecture program featured prominent speakers such as the world-renowned shipwreck hunter David Mearns, and historian Professor John Gascoigne, winner of the maritime history book prize with his Captain Cook: Voyager between Worlds. Others presented authentic maritime voices, with ex-WRANS from 1940 to the 1970s speaking about their experiences as women in the Navy. Unusual combinations of speakers included a Macquarie University academic and a member of the Australian Dragon Boat Association, at the Yum Cha Dragon Boat Race lunch we held in association with the City of Sydney at Chinese New Year. As always, our many on-water activities proved popular. This year we added to them by sending our Members out on the museum’s historic vessels during Fleet Week, when museum shipwrights operate the vessels as part of their regular maintenance schedule. While we can only fit small numbers on these vessels, it gives Members an opportunity to experience these historic vessels in a way that few visitors can. Museum vessels were incorporated into programs in a variety of ways, including outdoor movie screenings on the heli-deck of our destroyer. A behind-the-scenes

$15 per hour equates to $11.55 million of total services provided to the museum. Volunteer achievements for 2009-10 included: ■ Invaluable support of the replica of H M Bark Endeavourlor her sailing program of day and overnight voyages; the Australia Day 2010 celebrations at the museum; two Welcome Wall unveilings this year ■ Volunteer hours were reduced due to destroyer Vampire’s period in dry-dock, the Endeavour replica sailing program of day and overnight sails (rather than a touring program), and the temporary closure of Heritage Fleet Tours ■ Volunteer presentations of chairman’s awards, service certificates and service badges at the 2009 annual volunteers party and award presentation held on 9 December 2009 « Held four Volunteer Representative Committee meetings to discuss issues relating to volunteers and operations of the museum ■ All Hands Literary Prize Qudged by AN MM Publications staff for the best articles submitted to the volunteers' quarterly magazine) - joint award winners: John Lind’s 'Australia Day on our Endeavour replica’; Ex-Vampire stoker Des Kelly’s memoir ‘Watch below A Boiler room’ ■ A regular program of Volunteer outings throughout the year included visits to the RAN Hydrographic Office, ABC Ultimo Centre, Sydney Fish Markets, libraries and museums ■ Training sessions were held for Volunteers on Customer Service, Tour Techniques, Endeavour Radio, Onslow, Vampire, Blackmores First Lady, Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse, two-way radio and general tours
Work experience placements During the financial year, the museum received 20 applications from secondary school students, placing six students, and four applications from tertiary students, with none placed
Sponsorship In a period of financial caution, the museum was fortunate to receive generous in-kind support for its exhibitions and programs. We established new partnerships in the media industry, whose assistance helped us to achieve this year’s impressive visitation figure. Austereo provided production expertise and access to new audiences through their radio stations
2Day FM and Triple M Sydney. This support for the year’s major exhibitions was enhanced by television promotion courtesy of the Nine Network and transport advertising provided by APN Outdoor. Novotel Rockford provided support in the form of accommodation for couriers accompanying our international exhibition Charles Darwin - voyages and ideas that shook the world. SBS again generously provided in-kind sponsorship for the Welcome Wall. Television advertisements were shown in rural and metropolitan areas of Australia during the popular SBS program Who Do You Think You Are? in April and May. Print advertisements were also run during May and June. A range of maritime agencies proved especially helpful in assisting with movements of the museum’s fleet of historic vessels, including the HMB Endeavour April voyage program. The generosity of the Silentworld Foundation in supporting our successful maritime archaeological expedition in the Coral Sea is detailed elsewhere in this report. We again acknowledge the continuing support of partners Tenix, Raytheon, Blackmores and Sydney by Sail, and are delighted that Lloyd’s Register Asia has elected to renew their longstanding association with the museum.
Design The Design section worked on all of the museum’s exhibitions and major programs. The section was particularly pleased to have contributed to sustainability in our industry in several ways this year. Our staff designed the programme for the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity. They were involved in the development team to organise the Sustainable Exhibition Design Workshop at the Powerhouse Museum, undertaking timetabling, invitations and registration, finding the two keynote speakers and coordinating their content. The section put together a document wallet of helpful aids for the workshop, including a notebook made from recycled photocopies. The museum contributed the two workshops in the event, one by Design and one by Temporary and Travelling Exhibitions. In the field of lighting the section has been researching use of light emitting diode (LED) lighting for travelling exhibits to help meet the museum’s objectives of economic and environmental sustainability.

Capital works The new Multi-purpose Education and Public Programs Facility (MEPPF) project approved in the 2010 Federal budget ($8.8 million, excluding GST) will give the museum an extensive facelift and provide increased spaces for programs, entertainment, hospitality and storage. At 30 June 2010 the project was in tender stage; completion is planned by November 2011. The museum will remain operational throughout the construction period. A mechanical services upgrade will provide the required services to the new facilities, and to the main exhibition and Wharf 7 buildings. Its scheduled completion is July 2011. The Wharf 7 northern outgrowth and lobby infill projects were identified in the Site Master Plan as another opportunity to maximise the footprint of the

Wharf 7 building to expand working and storage space. The lobby project will provide more efficient working space for the Finance and Volunteers sections and privacy for Human Resources. These two projects are due for completion in August 2010. The museum Fleet basin is also being upgraded. The ageing floating marina is being replaced and a new pontoon extension will be installed to the eastern end of the South Wharf. These facilities will complement the new display pontoon installed earlier in 2010.

under stable environmental conditions, to provide a safe environment for staff to work in and to maximise visitors’ appreciation and enjoyment of Australia's maritime heritage. Our Strategic Asset Management Plan 2007-2017 continues to drive the upgrading of our facilities and plant, to ensure that our assets will support the objectives and operational requirements of the museum. Major projects undertaken during the reporting period include: ■ Replacement of air conditioning chiller no. 1 with a high-performance, energy-efficient unit ■ Preparing documentation for upgrading the mechanical services infrastructure to include replacing the two remaining chiller sets with energy-efficient units and installing a hot water generator unit ■ Further upgrading and improving the building management system Initiatives in 2009-10 realised a 6% reduction to energy usage. Planned water-use cuts were reduced by an under-wharf water leak. Improvements to waste management have reduced waste generated by 14.95 tonnes, with 46.75 tonnes of waste being diverted from landfill and recycled, further improving the sustainability of the museum and its collection. An ongoing commitment to OH&S and an effective risk assessment and hazard management program have contributed to this section maintaining its achievement of nil time lost due to accidents by staff or contractors during the reporting period.
Security The major achievement of the section has been completing a new security control room and upgrading access control and CCTV surveillance throughout the museum. This has improved both surveillance of the collection and surrounding areas, and accommodation of security staff. The security facility, located at the rear of the main exhibition building, is better sited to serve the requirements of the Museum. Security staff conducted successful evacuation exercises twice within the reporting period. We also conducted an extraction exercise from the lighthouse and the submarine Onslow together with the NSW police rescue service. Another section member was added to assist the security manager. The position of weekend operational manager was established to cover the museum’s seven-days-a-week operational environment.
Information and communications technology (ICT) Projects undertaken by ICT staff to support the museum’s information needs include: ■ TMS collection data management system upgraded to version 9.35 SP4 ■ Fleet Broadband System implemented on HM Bark Endeavour Replica to provide 3G, Satellite and internal wireless communications ■ Microsoft Outlook email replaced Novell Groupwise, pushing email to Windows mobile 6.5 smartphones « Microsoft Office Professional 2002 upgraded to Microsoft Office Professional 2007 in 2010 ■ Network switches audited and arising remediation work completed ■ Audiovisual installation for temporary exhibitions ■ iOmniscient people-counting solution implemented to enable accurate counting and internal reporting features
Records management ■ The Endeavour replica ship plans were digitised ■ Conducted the procurement for Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) under GSAS Government Contract (to ensure the museum meets IS015489 - Recordkeeping with regard to managing paper and electronic records (including email) and the Archives Act 1983) ■ An experienced project manager was appointed to implement the system ■ Records Disposal Authority was officially signed off by National Archives of Australia (to allow the museum to legally retain or dispose of its information holdings)
Online Services ■ The museum website and information architecture were redesigned to create a fresh new and contemporary look and feel to the whole website, with a new user interface plus the ability to integrate media from YouTube and Flickr ■ Extensive and more effective use of social media for the April 2010 Endeavour replica voyages - twitter, Facebook, blog, and new YouTube videos ■ User testing of the new website redesign ■ Increase in visitor loyalty and newsletter subscribers ■ AN MM on Flickr The Commons with 1,000 images from the Hood Collection

Effectiveness in managing human resources The staff turnover rate was 9.0% in the 2009-10 financial year compared to 10.38% in the previous year. The Museum Performance Scheme has expired and is being reviewed. A Human Resources Strategic Plan is being developed.
Key training and development initiatives Staff attended courses to achieve proficiency in new software installed throughout the museum including newer versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Staff also attended a disability action plan training course. Some undertook work-related training courses, seminars and conferences, and workplace delegates received CPSU training in accordance with the current Enterprise Agreement. Volunteer training is reported separately.
Productivity gains Productivity gains flowed from improvements in the use of information technology and greater acceptance of the Aurion Employee Self Service functions (APS staff).
Commonwealth Disability Strategy The ANMM Disability Action Plan 2008-2011 is now in full effect.
Assessment of achievement in terms of Australian government policy Human resource management policies have been developed and implemented to meet workforce requirements, while complaints and discipline handling processes have been refined in accordance with ANAO recommendations.
The certified agreement The AN M M Enterprise Agreement 2009-2011 was ratified by a majority of members and endorsed by the APSC and DOFD before being approved by Fair Work Australia in October 2009. The main features of this agreement were: ® to suspend the payment of any bonuses associated with the Museum Performance Scheme during the life of the agreement ■ to provide staff with two pay rises averaging 2.5% over the life of the agreement b to define working conditions and allowances for staff ■ to meet the legislative requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009 s to define the consultative process and terms
of employee representation ■ to ensure the agreement accorded with National Employment Standards ■ to introduce the concept of Individual Flexibility Agreements
AWAs No Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) have been negotiated or signed since the introduction of new legislative workplace arrangements.
Industrial democracy The museum’s Joint Consultative Council consisting of three management representatives and three employee-elected representatives met on four occasions in the last financial year to discuss a range of issues including meaningful consultation, financial and human resource planning, workplace diversity, occupational health and safety, work organisation and structures, and other employee issues.
Workplace diversity policy The museum has ten staff who can speak languages other than English, representing 8% of APS staff in the last financial year. This figure once again exceeds the target of 4% set by the Performance Indicators for Objective 3 of the ANMM 2003-2006 Workplace Diversity Program. The Workplace Diversity Committee consisting of two management representatives and two staff representatives also met to discuss workplace diversity issues, including cultural, disability and access issues at the museum. To assist staff to balance work and family responsibilities, the museum's policy is that meetings should not be scheduled before 9.30 am and should conclude by 5 pm.
Staffing overview As at 30 June 2010, staff employed under the Public Service Act 1999 totalled 132 (91 ongoing full-time, 15 ongoing part-time, 19 non-ongoing full-time and 7 non-ongoing part-time).

Australian National
Audit Office INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Minister for the Arts Scope I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Australian National Maritime Museum (the Museum) for the year ended 30 June 2010, which comprise: a Statement by Council Members and Chief Financial Officer; Statement of Comprehensive Income; Balance Sheet; Statement of Changes in Equity; Cash Flow Statement; Schedule of Commitments; Schedule of Contingencies; Schedule of Asset Additions; and Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements, including a Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Council Members’ Responsibility fo r the Financial Statements The Council members are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Finance Minister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, including Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian Accounting Interpretations. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate Australian Auditing Standards, These auditing standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the Museum’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose o f expressing an opinion on the effectiveness o f the Museum’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by Council members, as well as evaluating the overall presentation o f the financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Australian National Maritime Museum is an Australian Government controlled entity. The role of the museum is to promote a broad interpretation of maritime heritage and culture, to preserve it and to bring it to life. The museum is structured to meet one outcome, being increased knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of Australia’s maritime heritage by managing the National Maritime Collection and staging programs, exhibitions and events. 1.1 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements The Financial Statements and notes are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a General Purpose Financial Report. The Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2009;and • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period. The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars. Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet 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. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrealised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Income Statement when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. Consolidation and associated company 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. See note 18. 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 the Accounting Standards. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 1.2 Significant Accounting Judgement and Estimates In applying the accounting policies listed in this note, judgement has been made as to the fair value that has significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The fair value of land and buildings has been taken to be the market value of similar properties, whereas the buildings are purpose built and may in fact realise more or less in the market. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period. 77
Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010
1.3 New Accounting Standards Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard Requirements No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. No new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are applicable in the current period have had a material financial affect on the Australian National Maritime Museum. Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements New standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that are applicable to future periods have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is estimated that adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will have no material impact on future reporting periods. 1.4 Revenue Revenue from Government Funding received or receivable from agencies (appropriated to the agency as a CAC Act body payment item (for payment to the Australian National Maritime Museum) is recognised as Revenue for Government unless they are in the nature of equity injection. Other Types of Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. 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. Collection of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collection of the debt is no longer probable. 1.5
Gains
Sale of Assets Gain from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains 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 gains at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

1.6 Transactions by the Government as Owner E q u ity Injections
Amounts appropriated which are designated as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;equity injections' for a year, less any formal reductions, are recognised directly in Contributed Equity in that year (2010: $1,608 and 2009: nil). 1.7 Employee Benefits Benefits
Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled. Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119) and termination benefits due within 12 months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at 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 2010. In determining the present value of the liability, the museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation. S u perannuation
Staff of the museum are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap). The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes and the PSSap is a defined contributions scheme. The liability for defined 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 employee superannuation schemes 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. The museum accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans.

1.8 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. 1.9 Grants 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. 1.10 Cash Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins held and any deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. 1.11 Financial Assets Classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of recognition. The museum classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables and are included in current assets. Loans and receivables are measured at nominal cost less impairment. The museum has no loans. 1.12 Financial Liabilities The museum classifies its financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. Suppliers and other payables are classified as other financial liabilities and 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. 1.13 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.

1.14 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. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at their fair value at the date of acquisition. 1.15 Property (Land and Buildings), and Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Balance Sheet, 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, plant and equipment are carried at fair value, being revalued with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of each asset is not materially different, at reporting date, from its fair value. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Valuations undertaken in each year are at 30 June. Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. Asset Class Land Buildings Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment Heritage and Cultural Assets
Fair Value Measured at Market appraisal Market appraisal Market appraisal Market appraisal
Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised through operating result. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through operating result except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the relevant amount. Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation rates, residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate.

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010
Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2010
Leasehold land Buildings Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment
105 years 22 years 3-20 years
2009 105 years 22 years 3-20 years
All Heritage and Cultural assets have indefinite useful lives and are not depreciated. Im pairm en t
All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2010. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. (2010: $2,677 and 2009: nil) The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependant on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the museum were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken at market appraisal. 1.16 Intangibles Intangibles comprise software for internal use and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the museum’s software are 5-10 years (2009: 5-10 years). 1.17 Inventories Inventories held for resale by the museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 1.18 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. 1.19 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 at the exchange rates current as at balance date. Associated currency gains and losses are not material. 1.20 Comparative Figures Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required.

15C: Net Income and Expense from Financial Liabilities There is no net interest income or expense from financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss in the year ending 30 June 2010. (2009: nil) 15D: Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximate their fair values. 15E: Credit Risk The museum is exposed to minimum credit risk as the majority of the loans and receivables are cash and deposits at call. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potential default of a trade debtor. This amount is equal to the total receivable for goods and services (2010: $72,434 and 2009: $244,281). The museum has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk and has policies and procedures which outline debt recovery techniques. The ageing of financial assets that are past due but not impaired is equal to the ageing of receivables and is stated in note 5B. 15F: Liquidity Risk The majority of the museum’s financial liabilities are trade creditors and prepayments received. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the probability that the museum will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This risk is minimal due to appropriation funding and internal policies and procedures which ensure that there are appropriate resources to meet financial obligations. 15G: Market Risk The museum holds basic financial instruments that do not expose to the museum to ‘currency risk’ or ‘other price risk'. The museum is exposed to ‘interest rate risk' which arises from the investment in short term cash and deposits with fixed and floating interest rates. The total of cash at bank and deposits at call at 30 June 2010 is $30,548,796 (2009: $21,422,011). 16.

Donations and bequests are received for specified purposes and moneys received are placed in a special bank account and expended on the specified projects in accordance with the terms of the trusts.

Appendix 19 Volunteer Speakers Panel
The Volunteer Speakers Panel is a group of museum volunteers who deliver talks to community service clubs and other organisations on the museum and its activities. The number of talks by panel members was steady over the last financial year, with 20 visits overall. The panel continued to expand its activities, securing speaking engagements at a state family history conference and various chapters ofthe University ofthe Third Age (U3A).
Organisation
Two new presentations were developed: one on the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Register of Historic Vessels, and the other on the history ofthe museum. The latter looks back at the last 20 years and the major events and exhibitions during this time, and also look at what the future holds for the museum. We expect this presentation will be a popular topic during the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th anniversary year in 2011.
