As they walked, Michael noticed a group of approximately ten people playing on a sand bank close to the shore. Two of this group were further out and had jumped into a large hole not realizing they had jumped into a rip. They managed to drift south with the rip onto an outer bank where they were able to stand. It was at this stage Michael said to his wife Sue that they were in a dangerous place. Michael and his family continued their walk and made it to the Alley Rock Pool when Michael noticed that two of the group was trying to swim back to the inner bank across the gully that had formed a strong rip. They were not strong swimmers and started to struggle, but they were lucky enough to get back to the outer bank. At this point Michael became concerned about their safety. He decided to return to North Cronulla, while his wife Sue continued on to collect the children who had run ahead to Cronulla. As Michael started walking back, two of the swimmers attempted to swim back to the inner bank again. They started to struggle as the rip seemed to be stronger. At this stage Michael summed up the situation and formed a plan for rescuing the two. He noticed an old boogie board left at the southern end of the wall about 100 metres from the inner bank. Michael Banister He thought he would use that as his second option. His first option was to get a rescue board and others to help from North ”Michael repeatedly placed his own life in danger in this Cronulla Surf Club, so he ran there but found it locked, and no heroic rescue, and without his efforts, six persons would have one in attendance. The Patrol had left the beach, as it was after undoubtedly drowned that day”. Patrol hours. By the time he ran back over the hill next to the Michael’s history within the Club goes back a long way from lifeguard tower, four members of the group had jumped into the when he joined the senior Club in 1981, following a long career in gully to try to help the first two.

Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Vol 1 Data Report 2019-20 Page | i Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2019-20 Data Report predominantly follows four earlier reports (2015-16 to 2018-19). Sydney Water’s overall approach to monitoring (design and method) is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000 and ANZG 2018) guidelines.

Collaborations between these two areas are a recent development, yet a scientific basis for safety information is crucial to better understanding how to avoid and mitigate the hazard presented by rip currents. One such area is the field of swimmer escape strategies. Contemporary safety advice is divided on the relative merits of a ‘Stay Afloat’ versus ‘Swim Parallel’ strategy, yet conceptual understanding of both these strategies is largely based on an idealised model of rip current morphology and flow dynamics where channels are incised in shore-connected bars.

  • Riot and Revenge: Symmetry and the Cronulla Riot in Abe Forsythe's

    Riot and Revenge: Symmetry and the Cronulla Riot in Abe Forsythe's

    Riot and Revenge: Symmetry and the Cronulla Riot in Abe Forsythe’s Down Under Kenta McGrath Abstract: Abe Forsythe’s Down Under (2016) is the first narrative feature film about the Cronulla riot—the infamous event on 11 December 2005 where over 5000 white Australians, responding to a minor local incident, descended on Cronulla Beach in Sydney and proceeded to harass, chase and bash anybody who they perceived to be of Middle Eastern appearance. In the following nights, a series of violent retaliatory attacks took place, as community leaders called for calm. Suvendrini Perera identifies how a symmetrical narrative had emerged in the wake of the riot and its aftermath, whereby Cronulla Beach “comes to stand for a paired sequence of events, the riot and the revenge, in a fable of equivalence in which two misguided groups . mirror each other’s ignorance and prejudices”. This article considers how Down Under reinforces the distortive implications of this “riot and revenge” narrative by maintaining a structural equilibrium—through the rigorous balancing of its narrative and characters, and formally, via its soundtrack, cinematography and editing patterns. In so doing, and despite its antiracist sentiments, the film ultimately dilutes the issue of race and obscures the power imbalances that informed the riot, and which continue to this day. Introduction During the first week of December 2005, news of an incident on Cronulla Beach spread throughout Sydney: three white off-duty lifesavers had been involved in an altercation with four young men of Lebanese background and were bashed. Within the Sutherland Shire—known colloquially as “The Shire”, a predominantly Anglo area of southern Sydney which includes Cronulla Beach—a sense of communal outrage gained momentum as news, rumours and misinformation about the incident circulated.
