    Bike Week – Bicycle Tasmania Hobart Rivulet Ride – Historical Notes To

    Bike Week – Bicycle Tasmania Hobart Rivulet Ride – Historical Notes Based on notes complied by Ken White from data supplied from Consultant Tony Rayner’s Historical Study 1988 to The Hobart City Council, and also on Hobart City Council information boards located along the Linear Park. To understand the Hobart Rivulet it is easier to split it into three sections; being: • The Wapping section up to the present Royal Hobart Hospital in Argyle Street. • The town section south to Barrack Street. • The industrial section above Molle St. All three sections are very much part of the whole as they lap over and intertwine to create a story bigger in many ways than Sullivans Cove or Battery Point. The Hobart Rivulet industrial area predates Battery Point by many years We will be riding on the section of The Rivulet above Barrack Street and especially what we know now-days as the Hobart Rivulet Linear Park. The more one knows about the Hobart Rivulet above Barrack Street the more it is to wonder at the sheer energy of the early settlers to survive and prosper in a foreign land albeit a land that had an abundance of natural resources. The top section of the Hobart Rivulet in the early 1800s has been described as the Silicon Valley of Tasmania and therefore Australia as a whole. One such resource was the water of the Rivulet to drive corn mills and facilitate the working of woollen mills, saw mills, tanneries, breweries, distilleries and a host of other manufacturing enterprises such as those centred around the Female Factory.

    Hobart, on Friday, 15 October 2010

    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART, ON FRIDAY, 15 OCTOBER 2010. Professor ROB WHITE, UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Wilkinson) - Thanks, Rob, for coming along. As you know, the terms of reference revolve around violence in the community. We thought you could be of great assistance in letting us know your views in accordance with the terms of reference. Prof. WHITE - I am very pleased to have been invited to talk with you. I have been away a bit, which is why I have been delayed in having an opportunity to speak with you. I have included some background documents, which I would like to submit to the committee. I will briefly describe them and I will talk about what I think some of the key issues are. The first page is a brief summary that provides a snapshot of how I feel about violence in the community. I will come back and describe a bit about that in a moment. Basically I did it as an editorial for a youth online discussion group relating to violence in the community. The second item is a reproduction of an article on violence in the Mall that I penned called, 'Respect is a two-way street', that tries to put a context in terms of what kind of responses we should be having to questions of violence. The third submission is much more substantial. It is called 'Alcohol and Interpersonal Violence: A Discussion Paper'.
