A Guide to the Protected Zones Declared Under the Underwater A GUIDE TO THE PROTECTED ZONES DECLARED UNDER THE UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE ACT This guide is provided to inform uses of the Australian marine environment of the locations and requirements of individual protected zones declared under the Underwater Cultural heritage Act 2018 (the Act). Conduct that is prohibited in protected zones is in addition to the general protection for underwater cultural heritage that is provided under the Act, which prohibits conduct that: (a) directly or indirectly physically disturbs or otherwise damages the protected underwater cultural heritage, including its surrounding natural environment; or (b) causes the removal of the protected underwater cultural heritage from waters or from its archaeological context i.e. moving artefacts from their original locations or positions on a site. It is an offence under the Act to undertake prohibited conduct unless that conduct is authorised by a permit issued under the Act.

  • ETWEEN the Wars the Australian Army Nursing Service Existed Onl Y
    CHAPTER 3 6 THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY NURSING SERVIC E ETWEEN the wars the Australian Army Nursing Service existed onl y B as a reserve, and in this respect was at a disadvantage compared with the British service, the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Ser- vice, which had a permanent nucleus . In Australia records were kep t in each State of trained nurses appointed to the reserve and willing t o serve in time of national emergency, but the reservists were given n o training in military procedures, and no attempt was made to use their services even in militia training camps, from which the sick were sen t to civil hospitals. A matron-in-chief attached to the staff of the Director - General of Medical Services at Army Headquarters administered th e A.A.N.S., and in each State there was a principal matron who was respon- sible to the Deputy Director of Medical Services . The matron-in-chief an d principal matrons were required to give a certain number of days eac h year to military duty . From 1925 to 1940 the Matron-in-Chief was Miss G. M. Wilson. Late in 1940 Miss Wilson was sent overseas as Matron-in-Chief of the A .I.F. abroad, and Miss J. Sinclair Wood was appointed Matron-in-Chief a t Army Headquarters, where she served until 1943 . On her return to Aus- tralia in 1941 Miss Wilson retired . By this time Miss A . M. Sage, who had been in the Middle East, had also returned to Australia . Miss Sage took over as Matron-in-Chief, serving in this capacity until her retire- ment in 1952 .

  • The Story of the 2/12Th Australian Field Ambulance Banner and Honour Roll
    (ANZAC Day Magazine – March 2011) Feature Article (The story of the 2/12 th Australian Field Ambulance Banner and Honour Roll (with kind thanks to the ( then ) Rover Leader John (“Spud”) Murphy. I wrote a small piece in our June 2010 magazine and since then “Spud” has provided me the following details). Coogee Rover Scout Crew. In early 1992, after a recommendation from the NSW Branch HQ, we were contacted by Mr Ron Mierendorff who represented the 2/12 th Field Ambulance, to ask if we could carry their unit Banner and lead their members in the 1992 ANZAC Day March. Ron explained that their youngest member was now into his 70’s and they were having trouble finding unit members strong enough to carry their Banner, particularly if strong winds were blowing. It required two men to carry the Banner! It was also suggested that our “crew” consider making it a permanent undertaking in future ANZAC Day Marches. The proposals were “put to the crew” for their views, and it was “unanimously agreed” that this would be a crew obligation on the 25 th of April each year, following our Dawn Service commitments. And so another Coogee Rover Crew tradition began. In March 1996, Mr Mierendorff again contacted us and asked if we would consider becoming the official custodians of their Banner AND the AHS Centaur “Role of Honour”. This was a unique request, because in 48 years of Scouting I’d never heard anything like this before. My immediate thought was what a great honour for a Rover Crew to be asked to be custodians of a Military Unit Banner and the AHS Centaur Role of Honour.
