CANBERRA, Australia—Australia is removing the British monarchy from its bank notes.
The nation’s central bank said Feb. 2 that its new $5 bill would feature an Indigenous design rather than an image of King Charles III. But the king is still expected to appear on coins that currently bear the image of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The $5 bill was Australia’s only remaining bank note to still feature an image of the monarch.
The bank said the decision followed consultation with the center-left Labor Party government, which supported the change. Opponents say the move is politically motivated.

Australia’s Reserve Bank said the new $5 bill would feature a design to replace the portrait of the queen, who died last year. bank said the move would honor “the culture and history of the First Australians.”
“The other side of the $5 banknote will continue to feature the Australian parliament,” the bank said in a statement.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the change was an opportunity to strike a good balance.
“The monarch will still be on the coins, but the $5 note will say more about our history and our heritage and our country, and I see that as a good thing,” he told reporters in Melbourne.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton likened the move to changing the date of the national day, Australia Day.
“I know the silent majority don’t agree with a lot of the woke nonsense that goes on but we’ve got to hear more from those people online,” he told 2GB Radio.
Mr. Dutton said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was central to the decision for the king not to appear on the note, urging him to “own up to it.”
After taking office last year, Mr. Albanese started laying the groundwork for an Australian republic by creating a new position of assistant minister for the republic, but holding a referendum to sever constitutional ties with Britain has not been a first-order priority for his government.
The bank plans to consult with Indigenous groups in designing the $5 note, a process it expects will take several years before the new note goes public. The current $5 will be issued until the new design is introduced and will remain legal tender even after the new bill goes into circulation.
The face of King Charles III is expected to be seen on Australian coins later this year.
One Australian dollar is worth about 71 cents in U.S. currency.
British currency began transitioning to the new monarch with the release of the 50-pence coin in December. It has Charles on the front of the coin while the back commemorates his mother.
As recent as early February, there were 208 million $5 notes in circulation worth AU$1.04 billion ($734 million), according to the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Australia’s smallest denomination accounts for 10 percent of the more than two billion Australian bank notes circulating.
Mr. Albanese’s center-left Labor Party is seeking to make Australia a republic with an Australian citizen as head of state instead of the British monarch.
After Labor won elections in May last year, Mr. Albanese appointed Matt Thistlethwaite as assistant minister for the republic. Mr. Thistlethwaite said in June there would be no change in the queen’s lifetime. Australians voted in a 1999 referendum proposed by a Labor government to maintain the British monarch as Australia’s head of state.
When the queen died, the government had already committed to holding a referendum this year to acknowledge Indigenous people in the constitution. The government has dismissed adding a republic question to that referendum as an unwanted distraction from its Indigenous priority.
At one time, Queen Elizabeth II appeared on at least 33 different currencies, more than any other monarch, an achievement noted by Guinness World Records. (AP)

Bardfield and the Beeb
Walter Hoyle - May, 1963
The BBC Book of the Countryside came out in 1963 and was edited by Arthur Phillips. It featured illustrations from the Great Bardfield artists Walter Hoyle and Sheila Robinson. There are also illustrations from John Nash and Ralph Thompson. It is a book packed with beautiful illustrations that is so often overlooked due to the title.
A while ago I bought all six of the Walter Hoyle original ink illustrations from the book. I got them because they have illustrations made while Hoyle was in the Bardfield area and it’s important to see an artist while they are riding a creative peak.
Walter Hoyle - January, 1963
Walter Hoyle is in danger of being one of the forgotten Great Bardfield artists due to the lack of information on him. He was born in Rishton, Lancashire in July 1922. Hoyle’s artistic education started at the Beckenham School of Art in 1938,
I persuaded my local art school to accept me, and presented as evidence of my serious intent, a series of drawings much influenced by Walt Disney. †
From Beckenham, Hoyle gained a place as a student at the Royal College of Art from 1940-42 and again from 1947-48 after serving in the Second World War. During Hoyle’s time at the RCA one of his tutors was Edward Bawden, who encouraged him to develop watercolours and printmaking.
It was 1940, the phoney war was about to end and the college was evacuated from London to Ambleside in the Lake District, famous for poets rather than artists. It was here that I was first introduced to printmaking – lithography – by a friend called Thistlethwaite, a fellow student from Oswaldtwistle (although these names are true, I mention them only because I like the sound they make). He prepared a litho stone for me with a beautiful finely ground surface and instructed me how to draw in line and wash. †
In 1948, During the RCA Diploma show a visitor was so impressed by Hoyle’s work that he was offered seven months’ work in the Byzantine Institute in Istanbul. Hoyle accepted, the work he saw there made a strong impression. Italian art and architecture also influenced him at that time.
Early in 1951 when Bawden was commissioned by the Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the Lion and Unicorn Pavilion on the South Bank, it was Hoyle that he chose to assist him on account of his great talent. During that summer Bawden invited Hoyle on a holiday to Sicily.
Edward asked to see my watercolours. He looked very carefully and quizzed me about them, and in general was complimentary and encouraging. I felt I had passed some kind of examination. ♠
It was this holiday together that Hoyle would scribe into a limited edition booklet of 10 in 1990 and into a book in 1998 - “To Sicily with Edward Bawden” a limited edition of 350 copies with a forward by Olive Cook.
Geoffrey Ireland - Walter Hoyle at home in Great Bardfield c1955
Walter Hoyle - March, 1963
March I think is Hill Farm in Great Sampford, Essex.
The BBC Book of the Countryside features articles by different nature writers and journalists from the BBC from farming to wildlife. It comes from The Countryside radio show.
Selected from over five hundred scripts and sixty-seven hours of broadcasting, this anthology depicts life and activity in the British countryside as seen through the eyes of some of the contributors to the BBC’s monthly Countryside programme during the past eleven years.
C. Gordon Glover, whose narrative sets the scene for each chapter, lives in an Essex village and the changing face of the countryside from month to month is portrayed as he sees it, from his kitchen window — from the bridge over the village
Claude Gordon Glover was a BBC Radio Broadcaster (you can hear him present an edition of The Countryside here) and he lived in Arkesden, a few miles West of Saffron Walden. He was also for a time, the lover of Barbara Pym. His broadcasts consist of a Betjeman like prose over classical music and the song of birdsong likely to be heard that month. Below is a selection of October.
October: Lovely October of the half-way days, the wayward pause between the certainties of summer and winter - the one is well over, the other not yet begun. For the countryman everywhere this is the month of the great tidying up - the sweeping, the burning, the cleaning, the digging, the transference upon dry days of apples from tree to store. The suns of summer have done their work, the land has given forth and the harvest is home.
Walter Hoyle - November, 1963
Above is a picture for November by Hoyle and in the background is Bardfield Saling church. It is always good to prove that pictures are relevant to artists lives and the history of Great Bardfield. Curiously enough, the artist Celia Hart suggested that the guy might be a self portrait of Walter himself.
The photograph below was taken by John Piper in the late 40s or early 50s when he was working on the Shell Guides and just finished three of the Murray’s Guidebooks with John Betjeman.
John Piper - Photograph of St. Peter & St. Paul's church, Bardfield Saling, c1950
A poem for May:
A branch of May I have bought you
And at your door we shall stand
It is but a spout but it’s well spread about
By the words of our Lord’s hand.
Fair Maids look out of your window so high
To view the May-Bush fair,
it was cut down so late last night
To take the fresh morning air.
Walter Hoyle - September, 1963
In 1969 Walter Hoyle illustrated the ‘Women’s Institute book of Party Recipes’. This series of little illustrations are some of his best in my opinion.
They form a curious set of mixed media works that I believe to have been printed by Hoyle in lithograph then sent off to the book printers to be mass-printed, with the look of being a lithograph, but without it being so. Clearly the book was designed to be cheaply printed, for one it is spiral bound - but this is rather helpful in a cookery book. The other indicator of cheapness is that it has a very limited colour palette of orange, red and black. It was printed by Novello & Co Ltd, who mostly make sheet-music scores.
Below is an illustration from the cookery book of a man picking apples in an orchard and, above is almost the same drawing made four years later for the BBC Book of the Countryside by Walter Hoyle in 1963. As the WI book illustration have been drawn on to printing plate the image would have been reversed - so the ladder, man and fruit crate are a mirror image to the figures below. I know the picture from the Countryside book isn’t mirrored as it came from an ink drawing and I own those drawings.

Day one of a four-day weekend. The sun is cracking the flags and the beer is flowing, only one band could provide the soundtrack for this perfect scenario: Lancashire’s finest, Massive Wagons. Playing their largest headline gig to date in Glasgow, a city that is prime Wagons territory.
First up on this cracking value-for-money triple bill are The Rocket Dolls, or as frontman Nikki Smash described themselves, “Three little twats from Brighton”. Post-grunge with heaps of dark moments, brooding riffs and pounding rhythms, that might be a more appropriate description though.
The Rocket Dolls are gearing up for recording the follow up to their eclectic second album, ‘DeaDHeaD’, and the set is mainly drawn from said album. There are lots of comparisons which you could draw with The Rocket Dolls, but none where you could say 100% that they sound like one particular band. You are as likely to pick up an Alice In Chains influence, as you are one of Nirvana and Foo Fighters, but then you have a hint of Mastodon and Mark Tremonti’s work outside of Alter Bridge. ‘None Of This Is Right’ doesn’t as much knock on the door, it kicks it in. ‘Stop The Dead Men Crying’ is an angst-ridden few moments, with Smash wringing every emotion known to man out of one of his many impressive Fenders. Then there is the brooding ‘DeaDHeaD’ itself, damn those riffs are bloody magnificent! Check out The Rocket Dolls online and see how you can help with album number three.
Maybe it’s the weather, or the Bank Holiday, maybe it’s even the inflatable cacti on either side of the stage, but Bootyard Bandits have the crowd on their side from the off. Describing themselves as “Heavy Comedy Country Rawk”, Bootyard Bandits might have comedy stage names and song titles, but the music is played for real. Steel Panther might have overstayed their welcome a tad now, but unlike them, Bootyard Bandits don’t rely on the same onstage shtick. Besides, the Bandits have some Heavy Metal Banjo! Most of Bootyard Bandits might be familiar to some in the crowd. There is a handful of members of Aaron Buchanan and The Cult Classics in there, mixed in with some guys you might recognise if you’ve ever caught Alestorm live. For instance, guitarist/vocalist CJ Handsome is better known as Alestorm guitar/backline tech Joel Peters, while bassist (and banjo hater) Two Puds you might know as Cult Classics member Mart Trail. Although these dates with Massive Wagons are their first UK dates, they’ve been out on the road in Europe with Alestorm, and it shows. No signs of stage fright or a lack of confidence, traits that sometimes befall fledgling bands. Instead, it’s an accomplished, confident performance from experienced players. For thirty minutes they really do have the crowd eating out of their hands. CJ Handsome asks for a “yeehaw”, he gets a hearty “yeehaw”. He asks everyone to sing along on ‘MILF’, they do. He commands everyone to dance, well, apart from a few well lubricated punters that one fell a bit flat. But, by the time they finished their set with ‘Hoedown Showdown’, the hall had filled up rather nicely, and pints were raised skywards as everyone cried one last collective “yeehaw”.
By the time that the lights dimmed for Massive Wagons, and the Volbeat intro tape kicked in, the hall was full. Looking down from the vantage point of the balcony, it was heartwarming to see the crowd stretching all the way back to the rear of the hall. No band at the minute sums up the New Wave Of Classic Rock better than Massive Wagons, and they’ve got to this stage through sheer hard work and good old fashioned word of mouth. Having a collection of killer choons always helps as well.
With the intro tape fading out, the chants of “Waaaaagons, Waaaaagons” went up and the band filter on to the stage. Apart from vocalist Baz Mills that is, he vaults on like a Russian athlete yakked up to the eyeballs on steroids. It’s like that Sean Bean meme… ”Baz Mills does not simply saunter onto the stage”.
Opening song ‘Tokyo’ is not only a belting opener, it’s a fantastic two fingers up to the mainstream media, and Massive Wagons have started to reap rewards without the help of these guys. What they have got, they have earned. When Mills goes into the crowd after a few minutes, he’s high-fiving everyone, hugging long time fans, even rubbing bald heads for luck! More importantly, he knows the names of these people. They’ve been with ‘Wagons for years. Our photographer Dave and his missus Tracey have seen Wagons over 60 times now, with another 6 gigs to go this year alone. Up and down the country, supporting them from day one. And that’s the appeal of Massive Wagons, they instil that devotion from their fans/mates. It’s a cliché, but it is more like a family.
So, for 70 minutes, Massive Wagons have the crowd jumping, swaying their arms, and singing from the top of their lungs. There’s even a few luminous balloons bouncing about the crowd’s heads. The atmosphere is celebratory, everyone is smiling, and the band are running through the set at a fair old pace. ‘Tokyo’ leads into ‘Nails’ before the band dip into current album ‘Full Nelson’ with ‘Billy Balloon Head’. As you might expect, ‘Full Nelson’ plays a major role in the set, with ‘China Plates’, ‘Ballad Of Verdun Hayes’, ‘Hate Me’ and an emotional ‘Northern Boy’ all aired. The lyrics on the latter especially seem to have great effect on many in the crowd. There are a fair few in the crowd bellowing the words back to Mills.
On top of the newer material, there is one new-new track, ‘Hero’, which is slower and sludgier, driven by Adam Thistlethwaite’s heavier guitar riffs. Then there is the older stuff, ‘Aeroplane’, ‘Shit. Sweat. Death’ (complete with vocals from Lauren Hutchinson), a stonking version of ‘Ratio’ which has the crowd bouncing, and the rattling one-two of ‘Back To The Stack’ and ‘Fee Fi Fo Fum’.
This was a triumphant night for not only Massive Wagons, but also for substance over hype. It seems that every other week we are told of yet another “saviour of British rock” or even “the next Great Van Fleet”, I’m calling bullshit, this is all about a killer work ethic, and some top choons. Never forget the choons.
