  • Vivid Sydney to Light up Martin Place for the First Time
    Andrew Stoner MP Deputy Premier of NSW Minister for Trade and Investment Minister for Tourism and Major Events MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday 20 May 2014 VIVID SYDNEY TO LIGHT UP MARTIN PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME Martin Place will light up for the very first time during this year’s Vivid Sydney, with seven spectacular light installations transforming the bustling thoroughfare into a gallery of light. Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Andrew Stoner said Martin Place is one of five new Vivid Sydney precincts in 2014, together with Carriageworks, The University of Sydney, The Star and Harbour Lights. “Vivid Sydney kicks off this Friday and promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with visitors now able to follow an unbroken trail of light from Circular Quay to North Sydney,” Mr Stoner said. “Martin Place is set to take Vivid Sydney by storm, with an amazing line up of light installations and 3D mapped projections which will astound and amuse festival goers. “Expanding Vivid to take in areas like Martin Place will make this year’s festival bigger than ever, and draws upon last year’s success which saw more than 800,000 visitors attend and generate more than $20m in economic activity. “Vivid Sydney is one of many major events supported by the NSW Government and helps achieve our goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure by 2020. “By attracting visitors to Sydney during the traditionally-quieter winter period, Vivid Sydney also provides a welcome boost to many of the city’s shops, restaurants, cafes and bars,” he said.

  • David Elliott MEDIA RELEASE
    David Elliott Minister for Counter Terrorism Minister for Corrections Minister for Veterans Affairs MEDIA RELEASE Monday, 18 June 2018 KIRRIBILLI SOLDIERS HONOURED IN ANZAC MEMORIAL Kirribilli soldiers who answered the call to fight in the Great War will be honoured as part of a moving artwork in the Anzac Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park. Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott today took a sample of soil from Kirribilli House alongside local veterans and school leaders. Soil samples from more than 1,700 sites across NSW where young soldiers enlisted to fight are being collected as part of the Anzac Memorial Centenary Project. All soil samples will be placed in the new Hall of Service, alongside a plaque with the name of the location. The project is part of the NSW Government’s enhancement of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park during the Centenary of Anzac, which will be complete in late 2018. “It is a privilege to be involved in this important ceremony to commemorate the sacrifice of those who served their country and contributed to the Anzac legacy,” Mr Elliott said. “Kirribilli’s service men and women have made an enormous sacrifice for Australia in foreign conflicts and it is vital that we continue the Anzac spirit and remember their sacrifice”, he said. “The NSW Government is passionate about commemorating the Centenary of Anzac and that’s why we’re enhancing Hyde Park’s Anzac Memorial, as well as funding the restoration of local war memorials across the state.” Earlier this year, nearby Crows Nest Uniting Church received a $9,570 Community War Memorials Fund (CWMF) grant to upgrade its Roll of Honour.

  • The Quarry Italians Part 1 by Bill Glennie
    Journal of the Moruya & District Historical Society Inc. March 2014 The Quarry Italians Part 1 By Bill Glennie In his introduction to ‘Moruya’s golden years’, Bob Colefax wrote that while Moruya and the surrounding district made a significant contribution to the operation of the granite quarry where the masonry for Sydney’s Harbour Bridge was prepared, ‘it is true to say that Scotland principally, and also Italy, supplied the bulk of the skilled sections’.i The Italians were, after the Scots, the largest contingent of masons employed at Moruya Quarry. It was not the first time that Scottish and Italian masons had worked side by side. Some forty years earlier, Scots and Italians had helped establish the granite industry in Barre in the state of Vermont in the United States. The Scots there recognised the skills of their Italian colleagues. The fine statue in Barre of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national bard, was carved by members of Barre’s Italian community. The purpose of these articles is to bring together what little information we have of the Italians who worked at the Quarry and to correct and update the names of those known to have worked there. Despite its remoteness Barre in Vermont attracted Aberdeenshire granite masons from 1880 onwards. William Barclay, originally a farmhand from near Fraserburgh, and his brother Andrew, established there what would become one of the largest quarrying and manufacturing plants in the United States before 1914. The long roofed shed (above left) carries their names. In 1890 it was reckoned that Scottish immigrants accounted for 20 per cent of the town’s inhabitants.

  • Primary Schools Anzac Day 2019 EDUCATIONAL KIT
    Primary Schools anzac day 2019 EDUCATIONAL KIT FOUNDING PARTNER anzac day 2019 EDUCATIONAL KIT ABOUT ANZAC DAY On the 25th April we celebrate ANZAC Day. On ANZAC Day we remember and give thanks to all the brave men and women who have served our country at war time. ANZAC Day is such an important day that it has been made a public holiday so families can all go to the ANZAC march in their towns. At these marches, ANZAC badges are often worn and Australian flags are waved to show how proud we are. At an ANZAC Service you will hear The Ode and the Last Post. The Ode is part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC Day service. The words are: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. The Last Post is played on ANZAC Day to remind us of all the soldiers who were killed or hurt during war time. A war memorial is a place that honours all those who have died in wars. On ANZAC Day wreaths and flowers are laid there as a way of showing how we have remembered these brave men and women. At Castle Hill RSL, there is a war memorial located at the front of the Club. We also remember all the brave people who have fought for our country on other special days during the year. These include Remembrance Day on the 11th November, where we have a minutes silence at 11am.
