Once found throughout our bushland, this marsupial carnivore has been reduced in number to the point where it is now officially assumed extinct, the last one held in captivity having died in Tasmania over thirty years ago. However, there are renewed hopes that some surviving specimens may be found in such remote areas as the mountainous regions of Tasmania. One possible explanation for the decline of the thylacine is the intro­ duction of the dingo, brought in thousands of years ago by migrating Aborigines, and competing with the tiger for food and space. But in Tasmania, never reached by the dingo, the depletion of the species has taken place since white settlement, especially in fairly recent times when the progress towards extinction was aided by "tiger" drives and bounties offered in order to reduce the "pest". Today many of our native fauna are similarly facing the threat of extermination, directed not so much against the animals themselves as against the areas which provide their food and shelter. Bushland is cleared, forests defoliated, swamps drained, and the cities surge outwards. Although a few species, such as the euro and emu, show remarkable resilience and adaptability to these developments, most native animals and plants are helpless victims. The destructive influences of man, whether in the shape of bulldozers or toxic chemicals or in even less obvious forms, alter the habitats indiscriminately, and so upset the previously balanced animal and plant communities which occupy them. We urgently need to conserve, but in doing so we must go further than simply preserving and protecting our plants and animals; we must strive for a continuous, self-perpetuating yield of these living resources. Thus, economic progress and development, involving as it does the elimination of "pests" and the harvesting of the land and its riches, must be offset by the provision and maintenance of adequate reserves, which will not only protect and preserve our native flora and fauna, but also provide them with essential habitats within a balanced community. 3 THE PAST AND THE PRESENT BINDING By AJec Proudfoot "0, the barefoot trail goes winding Through the years of memory The Past and the Present binding In a wonderful dream for me." Our destination, Coopers Creek to the P.M.G. Department, best known as The Copper Mine to those who once lived there. The weather was to be good- it was drought, wasn't it? Swimming in the Thompson River, lazing in the sun, a bludge camp. But as the van nosed into the hills in the darkness the telltale mist on the windscreen and the restless wipers had an ominous look. Sure enough, from Moe to Erica and on to the tum-off the delu&e intensified, the drought had broken- over Mt. Erica at any rate. The tum-off at last. "I wouldn't take the van down the turn-off in this weather," said the driver. "It's a chancy road at the best of times." "Go on with you," retorted the leader. "It's a damn good road. Didn't my old man and me build it forty years ago and nowhere is it less than sixteen feet and its curves would put any girl to shame?" But he wouldn't go and out we poured into the drenching black night and plunged down the road, now a torrent. Sloshing and shambling, the bottom was reached; a quick circle, a roll call, thirteen present, twenty lost-erosion on a large scale after only an hour. The leader, a bit shaken (his first walk, you know) was prepared to accept ten per cent. over the whole week-end, but not this. Thankful not all were lost, he led the survivors to what used to be the old footy ground- scene in bygone years" of magnificent displays of Aussie Rules with gory fights to follow. And what luck! -the rain stopped. A lovely camp-site this, though indiscernible in the dark, with a grassy, open space and bays in the tea-tree surrounding it. Tents went up as stragglers arrived and soon all was quiet except for those slumbrous sounds so well known to Busbies. And in the damp morning through the blue smoke of reluctant fires the leader, relieved to learn that all had turned up, burst into song to the consternation of those nearby. It seemed that shortly after leaving the van, some preferred the difficult track in the opposite direction to the well-defined, leader-built, broad highway to the Copper Mine. As they say, Busbies will be Busbies. Around us was a fresh green countryside- wattles, gums and black­ woods, and foreign trees planted in gardens of houses long gone, the ubiquitous blackberry of course, and ferns, grass and tea-tree; high hills all around, and nearby a beautiful river, up a foot due to the rain, rushing 4 "Walhalla Sleeps." Photo by Charle5 Weillng. over the shallows and gently stirring through the deep pools, luring the swimmer, the angler, the walker, the photographer, but oh! where was the sun? In due course all assembled and set out towards Walhalla along the maligned road no longer a torrent. At the site of the old railway siding, Platina (so named because of the high platinum content of the ore from the mine), some found the old track across the creek, once used by walkers along the railway to cut off the horseshoe curve, and there drank the sweet water trickling over a small waterfall, oozing through the green moss covering the stone. You must be told that this curve was so hair­ pinny that when a long train passed round it there was one particular spot where the engine driver and the guard were wont to shake hands if they were friendly that day and to spit in each other's eye if they were not.

Household names, often with preserved archives, have had their company stories written by academics, journalists, and former senior employees. Broader national studies have analysed the role that big business has played in a country’s economic development. While sometimes this work has alleged oppressive anti-competitive behaviour, much has been written from a more positive perspective. Business historians, influenced by the pioneering work of Alfred Chandler, have implicated the ‘visible hand’ of large scale enterprise in national economic development particularly through their competitive strategies and modernised governance structures, which have facilitated innovation, the integration of national markets, and the growth of professional bureaucracies. While our understanding of the role of big business has been enriched by an aggregation of case studies, some writers have sought to study its impact through economy-wide lenses. This has typically involved constructing sets of the largest 100 or 200 companies at periodic benchmark years through the twentieth century, and then analysing their characteristics – such as their size, industrial location, growth strategies, and market share - and how they changed over time.

He was educated at Launceston High School where he served as a prefect. In 1934 he won the Hemingway and Robertson Scholarship. 1 At that time he had completed a commercial course at Launceston High School and was proceeding further with accountancy studies. After leaving school Lloyd worked at D & W Murray wholesale and supply company in both Hobart and Launceston. He joined the 40th Battalion in 19392 and from May 1942 to November 1945 served with the RAAF attached to 90 and 92 Squadrons3. He became an instructor in the Central Flying School and from this time onwards flying became his life. On 12 April 1941 Lloyd Jones married Athalie Jean Flint of Hobart in Hobart. They had three daughters. Instrumental in forming the Southern branch of the Tasmanian Aero Club in 1945 he was subsequently appointed Manager and Chief Flying Instructor of the newly formed Aero Club of Southern Tasmania in 1948. An accident at Cambridge airport in July 1960 left him with serious injuries and curtailed his flying career. At that time he had clocked up 10,776 hours flying time. 4 An adventurous and skilled pilot, Lloyd Jones was the first photographer/pilot to take aerial photographs of the rugged mountains, lakes and beaches of South West Tasmania.

  • Shareholder Class Actions in Australia – the Perfect Storm? 669
    2008 Shareholder Class Actions in Australia – the Perfect Storm? 669 SHAREHOLDER CLASS ACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA – THE PERFECT STORM? MICHAEL J LEGG* I INTRODUCTION Shareholder class actions are a recent but growing phenomenon on the Australian legal landscape. Seven out of ten new class actions are now shareholder related,1 and Australia’s largest litigation funder, IMF (Australia) Limited, is bracing itself for an increase in class actions over the next few years.2 The use of the class action for shareholder claims was foreseen by the Australian Law Reform Commission in 1988 when it recommended the enactment of a class action procedure in Australia,3 and by the Federal Attorney-General in 1991 during the Second Reading Speech for the federal class action procedure.4 However, shareholder class actions have only been regularly commenced in the courts since approximately 2004. Prominent examples of the shareholder class action are the proceedings commenced against GIO, Telstra, Concept Sports, Harris Scarfe, HIH, the Australian Wheat Board, Multiplex, Aristocrat Leisure, Village Life and Centro Property Group. If claims against insolvent corporations by shareholders are included, then the Sons of Gwalia, Ion and Media World actions may be added. The aim of this article is to explain why the number of shareholder class actions is increasing. Indeed, the thesis advanced in this article is that there has been a convergence of factors that has led, and will continue to lead to greater litigation in relation to shareholder claims – a perfect storm. The rise of the shareholder class action may be explained through the transformation theory of * Senior Associate, Clayton Utz.

  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Flinders Academic Commons Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove Rethinking Modern Architecture: HASSELL’s Contribution to the Transformation of Adelaide’s Twentieth Century Urban Landscape Caroline Cosgrove Abstract There has been considerable academic, professional and community interest in South Australia’s nineteenth century built heritage, but less in that of the state’s twentieth century. Now that the twenty-first century is in its second decade, it is timely to attempt to gain a clearer historical perspective on the twentieth century and its buildings. The architectural practice HASSELL, which originated in South Australia in 1917, has established itself nationally and internationally and has received national peer recognition, as well as recognition in the published literature for its industrial architecture, its education, airport, court, sporting, commercial and performing arts buildings, and the well-known Adelaide Festival Centre. However, architectural historians have generally overlooked the practice’s broader role in the development of modern architecture until recently, with the acknowledgement of its post-war industrial work.1 This paper explores HASSELL’s contribution to the development of modern architecture in South Australia within the context of growth and development in the twentieth century. It examines the need for such studies in light of heritage considerations and presents an overview of the firm’s involvement in transforming the urban landscape in the city and suburbs of Adelaide. Examples are given of HASSELL’s mid-twentieth century industrial, educational and commercial buildings. This paper has been peer reviewed 56 FJHP – Volume 27 ‐2011 Figure 1: Adelaide’s urban landscape with the Festival Centre in the middle distance.

INSTRUCTIONS issued to Mr. Surveyor JoNES in reference to the Expedition which started from Macquarie Harbour in July last, and Mr . .JoNEs's Report; also Instruc­ tions issued to Mr. CouNsEL, who went to the relief of the said Expedition, and Mr. ConNSEL's Report in connection there'UJith. Lands and Works Office, Hobart, 14th June, 1881. MEMORANDUM OF INSTRUCTION. MR. Surveyor Jones will proceed to Macquarie Harbour on the West Coast in the ketch Esk, now ready for sea, taking with him the necessary outfit for a surveying or exploration party. He will examine, the country between Macquarie Harbour and the Craycraft River, in the Valley of the Huon (to which river a track has recently been cleared by the Government), with the view of ascertaining whether a practicable Horse-track ran be found, subsequently capable of being converted into a road, so as to open up communication between Hobart and the West Coast at Macquarie Harbour. The services of Mr. M'Partlan, who has a thorough knowledge of the country, have been arranged for, who will accompany Mr. Jones and render every assistance: A careful examination of the country will be necessary, with the view to the adoption of a track that presents the least engineering difficulties and secures the most ad-rnntageous terminus, either on the River Gordon in the vicinity of Pyramid Island, or on Macquarie Harbour in the vicinity of Birch's Inlet, or any other point on.
