  • 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.

There is no better way to visualize the work of the mission hospitals and dispensaries, to meet the mission teachers and look over the schools, to travel through these faraway lands with evangelists and missionaries, and to become acquainted with the magni­ tude of the missionary enterprise which you and your congre­ gation are helping support. Two new lectures have been prepared on films to be shown with a specially constructed machine called the Projectoscope. This machine is a still-picture projector which uses spools of standard size, non-inflammable picture film instead of heavy, fragile, glass slides, with the same results. It only weighs 5 pounds, is equipped with standard auto bulb and necessary re­ sistance cord, adjusts to any electric light socket, and is so simple a child can operate it. The lectures are typewritten in booklet form and can be read as the operator clicks the spring of the machine to project the pictures on the screen. One lecture, “Call a Doctor” has pictures of our hospitals, physicians, nurses and patients requiring attention in the Su­ dan. It is a heart-to-heart message, prepared by Dr.

  • History of Faulk County, South Dakota, Together with Biographical
    NYPL RESEARCH LIBRARIES 3 3433 08044354 6 t^ £l~U^ HISTORY OF FAULK COUKTY SOUTH DAKOTA BY V CAPTAIN C.H.ELLIS TOGETHER WITH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF PIONEERS AND PROMINENT CITIZENS ILLUSTRATED 19 9 \^ RECORD PRINT FAULKTON, S. D. THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 733381 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS R 1916 L INTRODUCTION. The first quarter of a century has passed since the real work of pioneer life began in Faulk county—the work of transforming the wild, unbroken prairie, the home of the buffalo, the wolf and the wild and uncivilized red man—of blotting out the well worn Indian trail, extending from the eastern to the western boundary of the country. A work that means so much for us, that has been carried forward with such telling results, as the years go by, shall ever remain an enduring foundation upon which our future social, political, intellectual and moral greatness must stand, demanding a more enduring record than legend or story—Facts well authenticated, facts from the well stored memory, from brief records placed in historical form, before the ruthless hand of Time removes the heroic band from our midst. For the accomplishment of such a work is this History of Faulk County written. And to the men and women who composed that heroic band, who left home, with all its social surroundings that enter so largely into the present life, and builded greater than they knew in laying the foundation for a more liberal, broader and higher education and a nobler manhood and womanhood, is this work dedicated.

    SISTERS OF ST JOSEPH: THE TASMANIAN EXPERIENCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE SISTERS OF ST JOSEPH IN TASMANIA 1887-1937 Submitted by Josephine Margaret Brady B Ed. (UTAS), Grad Dip Admin (ACU), M. Min. (MCD) A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Religious Education Faculty of Education Australian Catholic University Research Services Locked Bag 4115 Fitzroy, Victoria 3065 Australia 2004 STATEMENT OF SOURCES This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. All research procedures reported in the thesis received approval from the appropriate Ethics/Safety Committees. ………………………………………. Signature ii ABSTRACT This thesis reports on and analyses the first fifty years, 1887-1937, of the Sisters of Saint Joseph’s ministry in Tasmania. The design of the study is qualitative in nature, employing ethnographic techniques with a thematic approach to the narrative. Through a multifaceted approach the main figures of the Josephite story of the first fifty years are examined. The thesis attempts to redress the imbalance of the representation of women in Australian history and the Catholic Church in particular. The thesis is that as a uniquely Australian congregation the Tasmanian Sisters of St Joseph were focused on the preservation of the original spirit and tradition articulated at their foundation rather than on the development of a unique Tasmanian identity.

  • A Dangerous Port Time Line of Shipwrecks Around Newcastle
    A Dangerous Port Time line of shipwrecks around Newcastle My grandfather Edward Luxton (diver suit left) and H. Chapman preparing to dive on a wreck site in 1914 Newcastle, situated at the entrance to the Hunter River developed as a major port due to the discovery of coal in 1797. The entrance to Port Hunter was not altogether sympathetic to shipping, and over 200 vessels were lost entering or leaving the port, many on the infamous Oyster Bank. It is interesting to note that some wrecks in Newcastle were on top of other wrecks that lay in the water. As port facilities developed, some of these vessels were interred, no doubt exciting some future archaeologist. This time line contains vessels lost at Port Hunter, Hunter River, Nobbys Head, Stockton Bight, Stockton and other Newcastle Beaches, Oyster Bank and the Williams River. Several very large vessels have been lost in the region with the largest being the 53,000 ton Norwegian bulk carrier Sygna on Stockton Beach in 1974. 1800 - Norfolk, wooden sloop, lost at Pirate Point Newcastle 1805 – Surprise, wooden sloop, forced ashore near Hunter River 1806 – Governor King, schooner, blown off course and blown ashore off Newcastle 1808 – Dundee, wooden full rig ship, grounded near Hunter River, 2 lives lost 1812 – Boyd, wooden schooner, lost on Stockton Beach 1814 – Resource, wooden schooner, lost after leaving the Hunter River 1816 – Nautilus, wooden brig, ran aground at Oyster Bank 1817 – Endeavour, wooden schooner, grounded and lost at Nobbys 1825 – Elizabeth Henrietta, govt brig, driven onto rocks at Nobbys 1826 – Sophia, schooner, ran aground on Oyster Bank during gale 1827 – Charlotte, sloop, founded during gale off Newcastle, 4 lives lost 1829 - Governor Arthur, wooden cutter, hit reef and lost at Nobbys 1831 – Jessie, wooden cutter, lost in Hunter River 1834 – Redpole, lost off Hunter River entrance – Ceylon, lost near harbour entrance 1835 – unidentified vessel off Stockton Beach 1837 – Vulcan, wooden sloop, wrecked during gale on Stockton Beach while entering Newcastle, several lives lost.
