The remainder of the Record down to 31st December 1829 is in the General Register House, but from that date to the present day it will be found at the Commissary Office. The Register for the Eighteenth Century shows a considerable falling away in the number of Testaments recorded, due to some extent to the Local Registers being more taken advantage of On the other hand, a number of Testaments of Scotsmen dying in England, the Colonies, and abroad are to be found.

    Vol 55 Page 9 Allan George’s Gems RAAF Spartan ‘crash-lands’ in Waco Texas. The RAAF has commenced a safety investigation after a C-27J Spartan which had an incident on landing during a routine training flight at Waco Airport, Texas, USA, on the 18th May. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. Local news sources in Waco say the RAAF C-27J Spartan was involved in a serious incident that damaged the aircraft and the airport’s main runway, closing the airport to all other traffic for about 18 hours. It is reported that two tyres blew out as the pilot made a landing after a training mission before 1am Tuesday local time. A TV News in Waco published this photo of the C-27J disabled on the runway A Vol 55 Page 9 The airport was closed and at least 180 American Eagle commuter passengers had their flights cancelled. One local news source quoted an assistant Waco fire chief as saying the airplane had attempted a landing but may have touched down short of the runway and damaged two tyres. Firefighters were dispatched to the incident when it happened but there was no fire and no one was injured. In a statement, the RAAF thanked local airport, emergency services and security staff who assisted with the recovery and apologised for the inconvenience to other airfield users. The flight was a pilot-qualification flight for RAAF pilots converting to the new aircraft, flown alongside industry instructors, a RAAF spokesman said. Air Force aircraft are serviced and flown under a very strict and controlled airworthiness and safety system.

Our aim is to submit a paper outlining what we know to be key assets of the area between Menangle and Douglas Park bordered by the Nepean River to the East and West of the Hume Highway, also including lands North of Menangle Village. We have a high concentration of environmental, historical and cultural assets and our Vision has been developed to capitalize on these assets. We would like to point out that we are not experts in planning but have relied on previous planning documents, reports by the National Parks and Wildlife Association, Government Departments and local knowledge. We would also like to highlight the fact the Macarthur South Paper of 1991, whilst it can be said to be dated, is actually the most comprehensive study on this area to date, taking into consideration all facets of planning. More recent studies tend to be fairly broad in nature, lacking detail, focusing on only one or two pressing issues of the day. We believe that we are very fortunate as a community to live in such a beautiful and interesting area and are very keen for Wollondilly Council to understand the special lifestyle this landscape affords us.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Thursday, 31 October 2013] p5757b-5757b Hon Dave Grills CHARGE OF BEERSHEBA — ANNIVERSARY Statement HON DAVE GRILLS (Mining and Pastoral) [5.33 pm]: It was about an hour ago 96 years ago today that Lieutenant General Sir Harry Chauvel said the famous words, “Put Grant straight at it.” For those who do not know what I am talking about, today is the anniversary of the charge of Beersheba. A lot has been made of Beersheba in movies, so I thought I would honour this anniversary given I have been a serving member of A- Squadron, 10th Light Horse Regiment. That regiment participated in Beersheba, not in a charge but in a flanking action to prevent the enemy from escaping. Beersheba was a heavily fortified town 43 kilometres from the Turkish bastion of Gaza. It was at the right end of a defensive line that stretched from Gaza to the Mediterranean coast, and is a very important place. The Australians were there. Two frontal attacks on Gaza in March and April failed and the British Army recognised that it had to try again and that Beersheba should be taken. At dawn the British Army sent in the best troops it had, which was the Australian Light Horse Regiment. The British XX Corps launched an attack on Beersheba at dawn, but by late afternoon they were struggling, given the heat, the lack of water and the distance they had to march and fight in to get to their objective. General Sir Harry Chauvel, who was the commander, gave those famous orders and the 4th Light Horse Brigade charged towards Beersheba.

Married Eliza Wills in 1818 and in 1825 settled on his estate near Picton, named Jarvisfield; and, in 1844 he subdivided part of his estate on the north of Stonequarry Creek, as the result he made possible the founding of the town of Picton (originally known as Stonequarry). He died and was buried in the family vault at Jarvisfield, in August 1852, survived by six sons and two daughters. Picture of Henry Colden Antill Araluen Place The name 'Araluen' meant 'water lily' or 'place of the water lilies' in the Aboriginal dialect of the Araluen area of NSW Armour Avenue Named after Robert William Armour born 1848 worked at the”Hermitage” The oaks in 1845.

  • Who Was Albert Bond?

    Who Was Albert Bond?

    Stories from the Archives: Who was Albert Bond? ALBERT BOND (1841-1923) was the architect of the College’s earliest buildings: Shubra Hall, the Dining Room, College Hall, Boarding House and the first classrooms. Bond was a well-known Sydney architect. In 1873 he was appointed the first full-time City Architect, a position he held until 1877. While in this post his designs for the roof turrets and the vestibule of Sydney Town Hall were adopted. Those who have attended the Junior School’s annual Grand Concert will know the impressive vestibule with its marble columns and floor, stone carvings, ornate chandelier, elaborate plasterwork and central dome with stained glass clerestory. Bond also contributed to the development of the department store. His plans for Farmer & Company (now Myer) included one of Sydney’s first passenger lifts. The Hordern family engaged him to design their large and flourishing department store in George Street (now the site of the World Square apartment and commercial development). Bond was also a prominent figure in the Institute of Architects. Shubra Hall In 1868 Anthony Hordern III engaged Bond to design Shubra Hall for his family’s residence. Hordern (“Tertius”) lived in the stables (now housing the College Archives) while he supervised the construction of the house. When completed, Shubra Hall, with its imposing Italianate tower, intricately-patterned tile verandah and balcony and exterior lavish ornamentation, was one of the most substantial houses in Croydon. PLC Sydney in 1891, Sydney Morning Herald, 20 June 1891 Main School When the Presbyterian Church acquired Shubra Hall in 1889 an architect was needed to prepare plans for additional buildings to house the College.
