TRUE BLUE is the inflight magazine for Rex Airlines. TRUE BLUE is a magazine dedicated to telling the stories of interesting Australian people, and a publication that aims to explore the industries that they work in and the places they call home. TRUE BLUE is a magazine that aims to educate readers about the first people to live on this great southern land, featuring stories, ideas and business knowledge from Indigenous Australians. Each year more than 750,000 million people travel on Rex Airlines. That’s a captive audience of 125,000 people every issue, and our research has shown that the magazine is read at least twice, and often three times. These passengers are entertained throughout their journey thanks to the only inflight entertainment medium provided onboard the aircraft – TRUE BLUE. This audience sits in the highest demographic of income earners (with an average income of around AU$150,000 a year), making TRUE BLUE a targeted and responsive platform upon which to advertise your brand. There is a section of TRUE BLUE dedicated to Rex Airlines, which features a welcome letter from the CEO, a map displaying Rex routes, news from Rex, FAQ, information on inflight safety and comfort, and some puzzles. The rest of the magazine includes travel and lifestyle features, a national events calendar, product pages, interviews with people making a difference in Australia and the world, as well as a dedicated mining, agribusiness and business section, as most of our frequent flyers are business people who like to stay informed and abreast of local and national news and current affairs.

    The City of Broken Hill National Heritage Listing The City of Broken Hill was included in the National Heritage List on 20 January 2015. The City of Broken Hill is of outstanding heritage value to the nation for its significant role in the development of Australia as a modern and prosperous country. This listing recognises the City of Broken Hill’s mining operations, its contribution to technical developments in the field of mining, its pioneering role in the development of occupational health and safety standards, and its early practice of regenerating the environment in and around mining operations. Broken Hill is 935 km north-west of Sydney, 725 km north-west of Melbourne and 420 km north-east of Adelaide. The city’s isolated location means the town has developed its own distinctive characteristics expressed in the town’s architecture, design and landscaping.

  • Broken Hill Gallery Guide 1St Edition
    BROKEN HILL GALLERY GUIDE 1 The Broken Hill Art Exchange is happy to present Welcome to the this updated guide to the art galleries of Broken Hill. The guide attests to the dynamic art scene in Broken Hill the Heritage-listed city of Broken Hill, with a total Gallery Guide population of just under 20,000 people. The number of galleries represents one gallery per approximately 1000 people; a proportion arguably unequalled in any other city in Australia. The task of compiling the information in this guide has been one of the most enjoyable I have undertaken since moving to this wonderful city. It has been a great excuse to get out and about and view some fantastic art, and I have had the opportunity of meeting a group of very interesting and friendly people. Our local artists not only have produced work of exceptional quality but also have fascinating narratives to relate about the production of their art. The details have been checked with the gallery owners and I have sought permission wherever possible to include statements from the artists themselves about their history and inspiration. Any mistakes that have inadvertently crept into this document are purely the fault of the compiler. This is not the first guide to the artists of Broken Hill. In particular I recommend that readers seek a copy of Jack Absalom and Christine Bartley’s beautiful book “Art of Broken Hill: Outback Australia” (available at Jack Absalom’s Gallery). It is important to note that this guide does not include all the artists practising in Broken Hill.

  • Part 5. the Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988
    The New Dissenters The Renewal of Victorian Goldfields Agitation in the 20th Century Part Five The Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988 The Battle of Bet Bet was about a local government placing a whole new layer of approvals and bonds on Miner’s Right Claims and Leases. It also tried to introduce a set of heritage overlays they effectively shut down the shire in respect of mining. It culminated a period of intense anti-mining ideology. Prior, in the years 1986 and 1987 there was a near unbelievable continuous inflow of argument and expectations about mining law, rights and amendments. This included intense activity from land protection groups and the government with its rapidly multiplying departments. The only people who did not go on the anti-mining attack were the small-scale gold miners, who found themselves continuously on the defensive against further restrictions and losses. Underlying and disguised by all of this chaos and regulatory tinkering was a new threat which appeared to be simply another review of mining. Stephen Barnham Copyright Stephen Barnham 2011 The author asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work, and owner of this intellectual property. DEDICATION To the previously unrecognised people who worked so hard to try and protect Victoria’s gold prospecting and small-scale gold mining heritage and those who realise the importance of understanding your own history. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS John’s wife Nola Winter who had the foresight not to throw out numerous documents when John Winter died. Anne Doran who carefully saved mining related Central Victorian newspaper articles and typed many letters for Frank Kopacka.

    NORTH WEST VICTORIA HISTORIC MINING PLOTS (DUNOLLY, HEATHCOTE, MALDON AND RUSHWORTH) 1850-1980 Historic Notes David Bannear Heritage Victoria CONTENTS: Dunolly 3 Heathcote 48 Maldon 177 Rushworth 268 DUNOLLY GENERAL HISTORY PHASE ONE 1853/55: The Moliagul Police Camp had been down at the bottom end of Commissioners Gully near Burnt Creek from January 1853 until June 1855. This camp included a Sub Inspector, two Sergeants, a Corporal, six mounted and twelve-foot Constables, a Postmaster, Clerk and Tent Keeper. For a while this was the headquarters for the entire Mining District. 1 1853 Moliagul: Opened in 1853 along with Surface Gully. Their richness influenced the moving of the settlement from Commissioners Gully to where the township is now. 2 1853: Burnt Creek, the creek itself, was so-called before gold digging started, but Burnt Creek goldfield, situated about two miles south of Dunolly, started with the discovery of gold early in 1853, and at a rush later that year ... Between August and October 1853 the Commissioners’ Camp at Jones Creek was shifted to Burnt Creek, where there had been a rush ... By April 1854 there had been an increase in population at Burnt Creek, and there were 400 diggers there in July. Digging was going on in Quaker’s Gully and two large nuggets were found there in 1854, by October there were 900 on the rush, and the Bet Bet reef was discovered. By November 1854 the gold workings extended three miles from Bet Bet to Burnt Creek and a Commissioners’ Camp was started at Bet Bet, near where Grant’s hotel was later.
