  • 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 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.

  • Chapter Nine: the Main Event – Round Three – 1981-1990
    Chapter Nine: The Main Event – Round Three – 1981-1990: Introduction: This chapter concludes the examination of the inextricable melding of Television Audience Survey Ratings, Financial Returns and Local ‘Live’ Production. While there was still intense rivalry between TVW7 and STW9, other forces were coming into operation in the succeeding period from 1981-1990. In this decade both TVW7 and STW9 were subsumed by much larger corporate entities. At the level of programming this led to a notable decline in local ‘live’ production, as a result of national networking and a corresponding diminution of community responsibility. During this period there were to be big changes in the structure of what can be termed the era of the two ‘family television’ companies in Western Australia. The chapter examines the events that led to TVW7 becoming part of the Robert Holmes a’ Court Bell Group, the retirement of Sir James Cruthers (considered by many to be ‘the Father’ of Perth television) and the sale of STW9 to the Bond Corporation. Another development, the introduction of the Aussat Satellite System was to have a huge impact on program transmission and in conjunction with Networking, perhaps deliver the mortal blow to the local ‘live’ television industry. The chapter concludes with the first two years of a three-station System in Western Australia’s capital city, when NEW10 went on air in 1988. Examination of the correlation between audience ratings surveys and Company profitability continues and so are their combined deleterious effects upon the former showcases of the two original stations, their respective Production Departments and the wealth of output from their in-house studios.
