The Battle for Windsor Bridge The Battle for Windsor Bridge Personal Stories Edited by Cheryl Ballantyne and Michael Campbell I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. - Mother Teresa Within these pages are moving personal stories told straight from the hearts, minds and souls of people who value Australia’s earliest European heritage, Windsor’s amenity and responsible government spending. We implore our political representatives, and those who can influence them, to read these stories and to stop the plan to remove Windsor Bridge and instead, to build a bypass to solve the growing traffic problem.

  • M2 Upgrade Environmental Assessment NSW Roads and Traffic Authority 23
    3. Project alternatives This section outlines the project development process, examines the possible alternatives to the project and explains the design decisions that have led to the formulation of the preferred project that is the subject of this environmental assessment. Director-General’s Requirements Where addressed Project justification This justification must include an assessment of alternatives considered Chapter 3 demonstrate that the project will enhance the use of public transport Sections 3.1, 9.1 demonstrate that the project will not unduly induce traffic and exacerbate congestion in Sections 3.1, 9.1 the medium to longer term within the adjoining subregions The assessment must specifically address how the proposed park and ride facility will Section 3.1.3 enhance public transport patronage, including a cost benefit analysis 3.1 Alternatives to the project As demonstrated in Chapter 2 of this report, there is a need to address existing constraints and traffic congestion on the M2 Motorway, as it currently operates as the second most trafficked corridor in Sydney. In its current form, the M2 Upgrade project provides an opportunity to better utilise an existing asset, by adding to it to increase its capacity. A range of alternatives to the M2 Upgrade project were identified and considered as part of the development of the project, including the following: x Alternative one – Do nothing. x Alternative two – Other road based improvement options, including: Line marking to add additional lanes within the existing carriageway. Upgrade of the local sub-arterial and arterial road network. x Alternative three – Provision of public transport – increase provision for public transport within the M2 Motorway catchment.

  • Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
    Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Margaret C. Dillon. -ii- This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Margaret C. Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure.

  • Book Club Sets
    Book Club Sets Alexander, Todd Thirty thousand bottles of wine and a pig called Helga Australian Non-Fiction Sharply observed, funny and poignant, a tree-change story with a twist. Once I was the poster boy for corporate success, but now I’m crashing through the bush in a storm in search of a missing pig. How the hell did we end up here? Todd and Jeff have had enough of the city. Sick of the daily grind and workaday corporate shenanigans, they throw caution to the wind and buy 100 acres in the renowned Hunter Valley wine region, intent on living a golden bucolic life and building a fabulous B&B, where they can offer the joys of country life to heart-weary souls. Todd will cook, Jeff will renovate. They have a vineyard, they can make wine. They have space, they can grow their own food. They have everything they need to make their dreams come true. How hard can it be? (288 pages) Alexandra, Belinda The Invitation Australian Fiction - Historical Sometimes the ties that bind are the most dangerous of all. Paris, 1899. Emma Lacasse has been estranged from her older sister for nearly twenty years, since Caroline married a wealthy American and left France. So when Emma receives a request from Caroline to meet her, she is intrigued. Caroline invites Emma to visit her in New York, on one condition: Emma must tutor her shy, young niece, Isadora, and help her prepare for her society debut. Caroline lives a life of unimaginable excess and opulence as one of New York's Gilded Age millionaires and Emma is soon immersed in a world of luxury beyond her wildest dreams - a far cry from her bohemian lifestyle as a harpist and writer with her lover, Claude, in Montmartre.

  • Parramatta's Archaeological Landscape
    Parramatta’s archaeological landscape Mary Casey Settlement at Parramatta, the third British settlement in Australia after Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island, began with the remaking of the landscape from an Aboriginal place, to a military redoubt and agricultural settlement, and then a township. There has been limited analysis of the development of Parramatta’s landscape from an archaeological perspective and while there have been numerous excavations there has been little exploration of these sites within the context of this evolving landscape. This analysis is important as the beginnings and changes to Parramatta are complex. The layering of the archaeology presents a confusion of possible interpretations which need a firmer historical and landscape framework through which to interpret the findings of individual archaeological sites. It involves a review of the whole range of maps, plans and images, some previously unpublished and unanalysed, within the context of the remaking of Parramatta and its archaeological landscape. The maps and images are explored through the lense of government administration and its intentions and the need to grow crops successfully to sustain the purposes of British Imperialism in the Colony of New South Wales, with its associated needs for successful agriculture, convict accommodation and the eventual development of a free settlement occupied by emancipated convicts and settlers. Parramatta’s river terraces were covered by woodlands dominated by eucalypts, in particular grey box (Eucalyptus moluccana) and forest

  • MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations
    Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves.

  • The Benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Research to Funders
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 2477 – 2486 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 The benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) research to funders Tim Martin a,*, Lith Choummanivong a aARRB Group Ltd, 500 Burwood Highway, Vermont South, Victora, 3133, Australia Abstract Long-term pavement performance (LTPP) monitoring has been conducted in Australia for over 20 years. This research was funded by Austroads (representing federal, state and territory road agencies, local government and the New Zealand road agency) to promote improved practice and capability for the road agencies. The LTPP monitoring program measured performance by rutting, roughness, cracking and deflection. Initially the program involved a range of designated flexible pavement sites under varying conditions of environment and traffic. Many of these LTPP sites were included in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) of the United States (US). All sites were monitored in accordance with the SHRP protocols. Later long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPPM) sites were included in the program to: (i) assess the impact of surface maintenance treatments on changes to pavement conditions (works effects, WE); and, (ii) assess the impact of maintenance on road deterioration (RD). A range of RD and WE models were developed using the LTPP/LTPPM observational data in combination with experimental data collected from Australia's Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) that separately investigated the impact on RD of increased axle load and various typical surface maintenance treatments. The RD models cover the deterministic prediction of functional surface distress (rutting, roughness and cracking) and the loss of traffic load capacity (strength).
