Now in its 32nd year, Spring Cycle is Bicycle NSW’s premier cycling event and Sydney’s largest recreational bike ride. It is an opportunity for participants to test their fitness, enjoy the warmth of spring and ride past some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks. As a keen cyclist, I know there is nothing better than starting the day with exercise because it does wonders for the mind, body and spirit. I am inspired by everyone who gets on a bike and has a go, and I want more Australians to get outdoors and get moving because exercise contributes so much to a healthy life. This year, I am pleased that Spring Cycle will raise funds for TAD Disability’s Freedom Wheels Program as well as the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. I commend Bicycle NSW for its commitment to creating a better environment for cycling and wish all participants a safe and enjoyable ride. The Hon Tony Abbott MP Prime Minister of Australia 11 September 2015 1 Message from the Premier “I am delighted to welcome all participants and spectators to SPRING CYCLE. For more than 30 years, SPRING CYCLE has promoted cycling as an active and healthy way to get around, and has increased cycling’s popularity throughout Sydney and across NSW. Whether you are hopping on a bike for the first time, or were part of the 10,000 who took part last year, SPRING CYCLE offers something very special and rewarding for each individual. On behalf of the NSW Government, I sincerely thank the many volunteers for making this event possible, and wish all participants a safe and enjoyable journey.” Mike Baird, MP Premier Message from the Lord Mayor “Congratulations to everyone taking part in this year’s SPRING CYCLE – what a perfect opportunity to see Sydney at its bike riding best! The City of Sydney is proud to support this annual event which is one of the best opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, from all over Sydney, to enjoy bike riding.

This Ride Guide contains important information to help you make the most of your SPRING CYCLE on Sunday October 18. Since 1984, SPRING CYCLE has been attracting riders of all ages and abilities on bikes of all shapes and sizes. By showcasing Sydney’s growing cycling infrastructure and facilities, the event promotes cycling as a viable, sustainable, recreation and transport option, while highlighting the importance of a healthy, community lifestyle. We are excited to welcome our new major partner Roads and Maritime, as well as a number of other new partners who join our existing sponsors, to create a bigger and better event in 2015. We are also excited to see the SPRING CYCLE as the flagship event for the City of Sydney’s Sydney Rides Festival held from October 10-31 and the Sydney Olympic Park Authority’s Fitness & Health Expo between October 16-18. New this year is the strategic change to the route of the 105km Bikebug Challenge Ride fuelled by Etixx. This incredible new trail challenges our participants’ cycling performance with a century plus journey. Participants will ride across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Sydney Opera House and traverse the diverse Inner West before heading out to Western Sydney Parklands via picturesque Parramatta and Prospect Dam, before heading to the finish at Sydney Olympic Park. The 50km Polygon Classic Ride and 12km Sydney City Ride have some minor changes so make sure you check the route maps and follow directions on the course. We want you to finish your SPRING CYCLE ride on a high so we have invested our efforts to create two fantastic and fun festival finish sites. There will be a hub of celebration, entertainment, food, drinks, live music, and activities for kids and adults at both Pirrama Park (Pyrmont) and Cathy Freeman Park (Sydney Olympic Park), when you cross the finish line. Participants finishing at Sydney Olympic Park even have FREE access to the Sydney Health & Fitness Expo. SPRING CYCLE is brought to you by the dedicated staff of Bicycle NSW with the significant support of a variety of partners, sponsors and an amazing team of over 500 volunteers. We thank you for your participation and encourage you to become a member of Bicycle NSW to help create a better environment for cycling. Most importantly, have an amazing SPRING CYCLE on October 18! Ray Rice Jane Robertson Katrina Jones CEO Event Director, Spring Cycle Communications Director Bicycle NSW Bicycle NSW Bicycle NSW 5 I’m protected 6 2015 SPRING CYCLE Presented by Bicycle NSW About the Spring Cycle organisers, Bicycle NSW Bicycle NSW has been the peak body for recreational bicycle riding in NSW since 1976. A community not-for-profit organisation, we support our 15,000 members through our advocacy work, by providing insurance, training, advice and access to cycling legal experts, offering discounts at bike shops and of course putting on amazing events like the SPRING CYCLE. Members ride easy with the peace of mind that they are covered by specialist comprehensive rider insurance any time they are on their bike, anywhere in the world. Third Party Liability protection means they are covered for costs if they injure someone else or damage their property, while Personal injury insurance provides cover if they are injured in an accident. Bicycle NSW exists to ‘create a better environment for cycling’. Through advocacy, recreational cycling events and public education, we aim to promote bike riding as a healthy, safe, enjoyable leisure and transport choice. We work closely with government, businesses, councils and local Bicycle User Groups to collaboratively improve the infrastructure and culture for bicycle riding. Please visit the ‘Advocacy’ section of our website to see how our advocacy work is making a real difference on the ground for bike riders around NSW. Creating a better environment for cycling means creating a culture and community that enables everyone to ride a bicycle - recreational riders, commuters, touring, social riders and people who don’t yet cycle but would if they felt safe. Bicycle NSW supports and runs events and courses to give people bike confidence. We advocate strongly for legislative changes that will contribute to safer conditions for cycling. We fully support changes to a one-metre minimum passing distance and the cultural shift towards mutual respect and shared space. We are proud of our history and results, serving our members and the community by advocating for all current and future bicycle riders.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

    LANDSCAPES AT RISK LIST Updated 30 October 2020: ’Watch & Action’ List Namadgi National Park, south of Canberra, on fire, seen from Mt.

Its 40,000- acre holding was prime dairy land, which much of the landscape remains. However rising tourist trade, day and weekend visitors/owners from Sydney, highway bypass upgrades and a Council that seems to under-value its real ‘asset’ – this lush farming landscape, as sharp contrast to its town boundaries, are eroding its integrity. There is a risk of precedent in approvals, leading to piecemeal strip development south to Bomaderry and ‘sprawl’ as rural blocks are bought, and subdivisions not-otherwise-permitted in zonings are approved, somehow. Similar pressures beset Milton and Kangaroo Valley townships in their respective landscape settings. The National Trust of Australia (NSW) have classified the Berry District Landscape Conservation Area for its heritage values, but it lacks legal protection, serious planning and heritage leadership, vigilance and active management. English ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ classification is one option – strict zoning as ‘rural’ with non-variable minimum lot size, strict urban boundaries; • Australian War Memorial $498m expansion – near-doubling its floor space, with building bulk intruding into the (above) vista from Mt.
