  • 100 the SOUTH-WEST CORNER of QUEENSLAND. (By S
    100 THE SOUTH-WEST CORNER OF QUEENSLAND. (By S. E. PEARSON). (Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, August 27, 1937). On a clear day, looking westward across the channels of the Mulligan River from the gravelly tableland behind Annandale Homestead, in south­ western Queensland, one may discern a long low line of drift-top sandhills. Round more than half the skyline the rim of earth may be likened to the ocean. There is no break in any part of the horizon; not a landmark, not a tree. Should anyone chance to stand on those gravelly rises when the sun was peeping above the eastem skyline they would witness a scene that would carry the mind at once to the far-flung horizons of the Sahara. In the sunrise that western region is overhung by rose-tinted haze, and in the valleys lie the purple shadows that are peculiar to the waste places of the earth. Those naked, drift- top sanddunes beyond the Mulligan mark the limit of human occupation. Washed crimson by the rising sun they are set Kke gleaming fangs in the desert's jaws. The Explorers. The first white men to penetrate that line of sand- dunes, in south-western Queensland, were Captain Charles Sturt and his party, in September, 1845. They had crossed the stony country that lies between the Cooper and the Diamantina—afterwards known as Sturt's Stony Desert; and afterwards, by the way, occupied in 1880, as fair cattle-grazing country, by the Broad brothers of Sydney (Andrew and James) under the run name of Goyder's Lagoon—and the ex­ plorers actually crossed the latter watercourse with­ out knowing it to be a river, for in that vicinity Sturt describes it as "a great earthy plain." For forty miles one meets with black, sundried soil and dismal wilted polygonum bushes in a dry season, and forty miles of hock-deep mud, water, and flowering swamp-plants in a wet one.

  • Jaguar Land Rover to Pause Some UK Production on Chip Shortage
    Jaguar Land Rover to pause some UK production on chip shortage 1 Jaguar Land Rover will pause production at two UK factories, partly because of a shortage of computer chips. in Automotive News Europe / Reuters , 22-04-2021 Production at Jaguar Land Rover's factory in Castle Bromwich, shown, will be stopped temporarily. Output at Castle Bromwich and Halewood will be temporarily halted starting on Monday due to supply chain disruption, including a lack of semiconductors, the automaker said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors- owned company said. The production stoppage was first reported by the Guardian newspaper. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jaguar-land-rover-pause-some-uk-production-chip-shortage The models affected by production shutdown will be the Jaguar XE and XF sedans and the F-Type sports car, all built at Castle Bromwich, and the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque built at Halewood, the paper said. The shutdown is scheduled to last at least a week, according to the report. 2 JLR's plant in Solihull plant, England, which builds Range Rover models and the Jaguar F-Pace, is unaffected so far, the Guardian reported. The company's factory in Slovakia, which produces the new Land Rover Defender, along with plants in Brazil and China, also are unaffected. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jaguar-land-rover-pause-some-uk-production-chip-shortage .

This is intended to be more manageable for readers; we now exclude much of the detail on historic developments at each vehicle company, information which can be found in previous editions of the report available on the SMMT website. www.smmt.co.uk. In addition, the model level information for vehicle production outside the UK is excluded from the current versions, although this data is available from Ian Henry of AutoAnalysis. Our focus is increasingly on developments in the UK, to make the report more relevant for UK suppliers; many of these companies should see major new business opportunities with increased sourcing at the tier 1 level in the UK especially, as well potential business too for smaller suppliers at the tier 2 and 3 level.
