About the Club The Nissan Patrol 4WD Club was established in 1976 by a group of four-wheel drive enthusiasts from other clubs interested in pursuing common interests and activities in 4WD'ing, and also aiming to give the Nissan Patrol its own identity. Although named for the Nissan Patrol, the Club welcomes all types of four-wheel drives capable of completing our driver training course. In 2002, the Club fulfilled a long-held dream and purchased its own property of 94 hectares in the Windellama region near Goulburn. The land is used for Club activities such as bush camping, driver training and social activities. There is also a dam on the property which provides a reliable source of water for bush fire-fighting. In May 2006, our initial idea of a large shelter/shed came into fruition and was finally completed. The shed acts as our bush classroom which allows us to easily host our Driver Training Courses. It is also the place where we have our Easter, Xmas In July and Club Anniversary weekends, and is available for free camping by members at any time. Front View Back View The club atmosphere is, and always has been, to have fun and develop long lasting friendships from a wide variety of people from all over Sydney, Canberra and surrounding areas. The club holds regular driver training days for all members, trips from one day to several weeks' duration (such as outback trips) and a variety of social activities. Club trips are graded depending on the degree of difficulty to cater for all levels of four-wheel driving. On trips, the traditional “happy hour” and campfire provide a wonderful setting for story-telling, having a quiet drink and building solid friendships. We are strongly committed to “Access for All” (except ratbags) in our National Parks and State Forests, protecting the environment through responsible four-wheel driving and helping to 'Clean-Up Australia' by cleaning up our bushland. Since 1980, the Club has been hosting varying types of events for the general public to enjoy in their 4WD’s. In past years there were the annual Nissan Trials, which saw inter-club challenges testing the driving skills of both individuals and teams. In recent years, the Club also ran the “Son of Trials” at River Island near Mittagong. These events offered standard road registered vehicle owners, from learner drivers through to experienced 4WD’ers, to participate in a number of challenging courses to test their skills and have the chance to win some fantastic prizes.

When the rains finally arrived, the deluge brought flash flooding to areas that saw a month’s worth of rainfall over a couple of days. But not long after the fire and rain, Mother Nature does her thing and new life soon began to grow. 7 December 2019 15 February 2020 10 March 2020 Now, we are told to stay in our homes, cancel or postpone outings, and watch the world shut down because of this COVID-19. But, as THEY say, when life gives you lemons – make lemonade (don’t slice them up for your Corona’s). So instead of more doom and gloom, throughout this mag, there are a few items I’m calling “Lockdown Laughs” to start spreading some laughter instead of a virus. I tried to fit in as many as I could to put a little fun in our isolation. Some of you may have seen these, as they have been shared many times on Facebook. Again, as THEY say, laughter is the best medicine (and a dose of some anti-biotics on the side wouldn’t hurt either). Make the best out of the worst situation. While in isolation, you can: • catch up with those odd jobs around the house and garden • sort out your wardrobes, storage areas, garages & sheds • give your car and/or truck a really good clean up • watch a series on NetfliX or read a book • have a family game or movie nights • crafters like me, can finally get to those UFO’s (that’s Un Finished Objects) or start new ones. (2 on the hook & planning the next) • Most important of all: Get out your maps and PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP So, STAY HOME, STAY SAFE and PLEASE take all the necessary precautions if you really do need to go out. Keep On Patrolling! Tania & Fiona & Ruby (Fiona has returned as Assistant Editor) Next magazine due on the website 6 July 2020. All articles for the next magazine MUST be sent in a Microsoft Word format and forwarded to [email protected] by 30 June 2020. 5 The Report from Madam President Dear Members, What a wild ride it has been, the last little while! The year started with bushfires threatening large parts of the eastern seaboard. Thankfully the Club’s Land and shed were not affected. In the background, a new Corona Virus was spreading through China, but we didn’t think much of it over here … until it hit our shores and turned our lives upside down. Just about all of us have been affected financially, socially, physically and possibly mentally. The Club has also been affected. General meetings at the Veteran Car Club are suspended until gatherings are permitted. The closure of the National Parks and State Forests as well as various State borders has curtailed trips. Driver training, working bees, Easter at the Land and the Bush Mechanics Course are all on hold for the foreseeable future. It is for that reason that the Club property is also closed until further notice. Many of us had the same idea, to go there to isolate. Great in theory, but you would be there isolating with many other like-minded members. So, with all this upheaval, the committee (via video conferencing) held its regular meeting to discuss the club’s operation as well as ways of staying in touch with you. Technology seems to be the solution. Our new web master Robert Kinsey, is looking at ways to set up Zoom so we can connect electronically on our regular meeting nights. If you don’t have a computer or a web cam, dialling in via telephone also works. Please keep an eye out in your email for more information regarding the set up. The AGM held in March saw only one significant change in the line-up. After many years of service to the club as web master, Brett McCurley handed over his responsibilities to a new member, Robert Kinsey. This change came about as Brett changed jobs and started a family. This meant that time in front of a computer became shorter. The committee and I would like to thank Brett for his dedication and help. He has been instrumental behind the scenes keeping the web site and Facebook up to date. Robert joins the committee and brings many years of experience in the IT industry. What am I, chopped liver? So, now I will look back at the year that was: This past year has been a busy and interesting time for our members and the committee.

  • Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1770–2008
    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

Also included are portraits in oil of Martens by artists such as Maurice Felton and Mr Nuyts. Martens’ ‘Account of Pictures’ provides an invaluable source for identifying his more than 100 extant works in oil. Though ‘Account of Pictures’ specifically identifies only 35 oil paintings, many others noted ‐ but not identified ‐ therein as oils, can be matched with known works. ‘Account of Pictures’ identifies the following 35 oil paintings: Title Date Bota Fogo, Rio Janiero 20 March 1838 Brush at Illawarra 26 May 1838 Oropena, Tahiti 31 May 1838 Salcombe Castle 2 May 1839 Govets Leap 23 May 1839 View of New Government House 28 Oct. 1841 Sydney from St Leonards 14 Nov. 1841 View from Rose Bay 30 Nov. 1841 View of Old Government House 21 Jany. 1842 Government Stables 31 Jany.

  • Alan Close Thesis (PDF 512Kb)
    A Bachelor's Family A memoir of relationship and childlessness Alan Close A memoir and exegesis submitted for the requirements of the Masters of Arts (Research). Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology January 2005 This page is intentionally left blank. ii Keywords Men, Memoir, Relationships, Masculinity Politics, Masculinity Therapy iii This page is intentionally left blank. iv Abstract A Bachelor's Family is a memoir of relationship, exploring —from a male point of view—my trajectory to a 'circumstantially childless' middle age. The thesis argues for this memoir and my concurrently written magazine column In The Male, to be read in the context of 'masculinity politics', specifically as a site of what Bob Connell terms 'masculinity therapy'. As a writer heretofore of fiction, the fact that I should find myself working in these forms of creative non-fiction—both attempts to discuss aspects of contemporary masculinity in the public sphere—reflects not only recent industry and reader interest in the form but, with its emphasis on the 'healing possibilities' of truthfulness and personal disclosure, embraces the essence of 'masculinity therapy'. v This page is intentionally left blank. vi Table of Contents Keywords ii Abstract iii Statement of Original Authorship v Acknowledgements vi Memoir: A Bachelor's Family 1 Amsterdam 3 Glebe 6 Bondi 17 Drake 27 Bangalow 39 Grafton 45 Oregon 52 Flatbush 62 Irvine 74 Tijuana 79 Lamrock 86 Coogee 94 Clarence 105 Sydney 118 Byron 122 Exegesis 128 Introduction 129 Literature Review 131 Creative Non-Fiction and the Flight to Reality 138 Case Studies: column and memoir 139 Column: In The Male 141 Memoir: A Bachelor's Family 147 Conclusion 150 Appendix A: Essay and columns from Good Weekend magazine 152 Bibliography 171 vii This page is intentionally left blank.
