Use Source 3 to view the location of Sydney and Coonamble Shire on a map of NSW. Explain that Gulargambone is a rural village in the Coonamble Shire and that Coonamble is a rural town. Explain that Glebe is an inner city suburb of Sydney. Students use Google Earth to locate Glebe and Gulargambone. They view satellite images of the landform and land uses and explore the streets and surroundings using Street View. On a map of NSW, students plot Coonamble Shire, Gulargambone, Coonamble, Castlereagh River, Parramatta River, Sydney. On a map of Sydney, students plot the CBD, Glebe, Observatory Hill, Blackwattle Bay, Sydney Harbour, Parramatta River. As a class, formulate inquiry questions: • What is the climate of Glebe and Gulargambone? • Who are the people, what do they do and where do they live in Glebe and Gulargambone? • How is inner city Sydney similar and different to north-western NSW? • How and why is daily life similar and different in inner city Sydney and rural north-western NSW?

Coonamble Gilgandra Geological Summary
Geological summary Coonamble–Gilgandra region Coonamble–Gilgandra region This summary is an initiative by the Office of the Land and Water Commissioner in response to community enquiries about the geology of the Coonamble– Gilgandra region. The enquiries are particularly related to the proposed construction of a Western Slopes gas pipeline, to connect the Narrabri area to the existing Moomba–Sydney pipeline, which passes near Condobolin. This geological overview of the area around the proposed pipeline is based on publicly available geological data obtained by the Geological Survey of NSW and private companies during exploration. The NSW Government collects and archives all geological data from exploration activities in NSW to enhance understanding of the geology of the state. Narrabri is located east of the Coonamble–Gilgandra area. Six coal mines operate in the Narrabri– Gunnedah region and coal seam gas extraction is proposed in the Narrabri area. Data from Narrabri is included for comparison with that in the Coonamble–Gilgandra region. Any enquiries about this document Figure 1. Simplified geological map of the Coonamble–Gilgandra region. should be directed to the NSW Land and Water Commissioner.

December 1924
Read below as Bob Newham, Loco Division Passenger Organiser, explores some of the incredible history behind rail in New South Wales. As you will discover, the month of November has many stories to tell… December 1924 The Dorrigo rail line was originally part of a grander scheme to link Coffs Harbour and Grafton with the Northern and North Western lines and was eventually opened on 23 December 1924. The Dorrigo line was one of the costliest branch railways built in NSW. It had some of the steepest gradients and tightest curves on the system and experienced high maintenance and running costs owing to the terrain and high rainfall of the area. The line experienced repeated losses throughout its existence. Although goods, other than timber were carried, timber was the main revenue source for the railway. Most of the logs and processed timber were sent to Sydney and in the early days of the line the NSWGR obtained sleepers for the north coast region from this area. The line lost its passenger service on 1 December 1957 and goods services were suspended on 27 October 1972 after flood damage. By the end of 1972 it became apparent that the Public Transport Commission at the time would not be re-opening the line. Parts of the line are still used by various heritage railways. December 1957 The Far West Express was an Australian passenger train operated by the New South Wales Government Railways from December 1957 until September 1975 from Dubbo to Bourke, Cobar and Coonamble. It connected at Dubbo in the morning with the overnight Western Mail from Sydney, returning in the afternoon to connect with the return Mail in the evening.

The Importance of Boundaries
The importance of boundaries Colin Hughes Emeritus Professor of Politic Science, University of Queensland Research Paper 1 (November 2007) Democratic Audit of Australia Australian National University Canberra, ACT 0200 Australia http://democratic.audit.anu.edu.au The views expressed are the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Democratic Audit of Australia. If elections are to be thought fair, their outcomes should correspond as closely as possible to the inputs of voter preferences. A particular percentage of the votes counted for a party should produce close to the same percentage of the seats won by that party. Down that path lie the topics of partisan bias and proportional representation with multi-member electoral districts as the most common solution. But there is a second criterion of fairness which is that outcomes should correspond to the numbers of electors or people to be represented. That criterion is often called equality, and down that path lie the topics of malapportionment and enforced equality as a solution. The two criteria may not work in the same direction.1 In Australia the problem of equality has been debated mainly with respect to the dichotomy of town and country, ‘town’ usually meaning the State capital(s) which have been invariably by far the largest urban center in each State and ‘country’ the rest, though sometimes the larger provincial cities and towns get lumped in with their local metropolis. Should town voters have the same quantity of representation, measured by the number of electors in the electoral districts, as country voters? There has also been a sub-plot, which is what this paper is about, that concerns the existence of a small number of electoral districts spread over exceptionally large areas in which the population, and consequently the numbers of electors, is relatively thin on the ground and widely scattered.

ISBN 0 7347 51974 FOREWORD The semi-arid zone of New South Wales is a large area, where changes in vegetation and fauna communities can be gradual compared to the forested slopes and coast, which receive high rainfall. The semi-arid zone is being impacted on by continuing expansion of agricultural development but there is a recognised lack of even basic information with regards to existing biodiversity that would allow for planned development with minimal environmental impact. It is only recently that semi-arid NSW is getting the recognition it deserves via funding for environmental inventories. Throughout the state there is a general recognition that the maintenance of biodiversity must not rely on the conservation reserve system alone but needs to incorporate areas outside nature reserves (Hale and Lamb 1997).

Open Letter to the Premier of Nsw About Coal Seam Gas, from Over 600 Businesses, Organisations and People of North West Nsw
2 THE LAND Thursday December 07, 2017 theland.com.au ADVERTISEMENT OPEN LETTER TO THE PREMIER OF NSW ABOUT COAL SEAM GAS, FROM OVER 600 BUSINESSES, ORGANISATIONS AND PEOPLE OF NORTH WEST NSW. To theHon Gladys Berejiklian, Premier, Protect the North West region from coal seam gas. We are writing to seek your help in protecting our communities, natural areas and livelihoods from irreparable damage from coal seam gas extraction and ask you to visit the North West to hear our concerns. Coal seam gas is ariskyand polluting industry. The coal seam gasfield proposed by Santos near Narrabri poses unprecedented challenges for New South Wales. It is thelargest development ever considered under NSW’s current planning system and threatens to affect water resources and natural ecosystems for centuries to come. We supportyour recent response to Prime Minister Turnbull, rejecting his calls to fast-track assessment of the Narrabri Gas Project. The Environmental Impact Statement for the project is grossly inadequate. Criticism from the Federal Government’s Independent Expert Scientific Committee and independent scientific reviewers confirms that it was not adequate and its water modelling was unsatisfactory. Arecord22,700 people formally objected to the project. These submissions must be treated seriously, but it is routine in New South Wales for the Planning Assessment Commission to hold superficial “public hearings” that remove legal rights for objectors. We seek the following commitments from you to protect the North West from this threat: 1. That anew, thorough and adequate Environmental Impact Statement will be released for public review once Santos has collected and analysed the necessary data; 2.
