These ancient people migrated from northern Australia and southeast Asia, and remnants of stone tools found near Sydney suggest that there may have been humans living there even 50,000 years ago. By the time European settlers arrived, 1350 there were thousands of indigenous people from 29 different clans immigrants, Sydney’s natural geographic location as living in the Sydney area. They were probably drawn by Sydney’s huge harbor, the largest natural harbor in the world. With the nearby Blue Mountains to the west and the Hawkesbury River to the north, it was also an attractive location for the first settlers from England, who arrived in 1788. They decided to use Sydney as a prison colony, because once the American Revolution had taken place, they could no longer send criminals to the American colonies. Those who were convicted of crimes in England were now transported to Sydney. They did not a harbor has always made it a popular place to settle . live in prison buildings, since being sent to such a far-off corner of the world was punishment in itself.

  • 1980-2001 Researchers Made Brief Synopses of Material in These Categories and Periodicals, Which Are Attached to Their Bibliographical Details
    ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA: CHANGE, COMPARISON, AND ANALYSIS A Joint project between the Australian National University and the National Library of Australia under the auspices of the Australian Research Council Strategic Partnerships with Industry Research and Training Scheme. TITLE: Post-1980 Japanese Monographs (58 titles in total). RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION BY: Manabu Kawakatsu DATE OF COMPLETION: 01/08/2001 ©**** 2 PREFACE: The National Library of Australia (NLA) has very large holdings of Asian material, in English, in Asian languages, and in Asian scripts. The ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA project received resources in 2000-2002 from the Australian Research Council and the NLA to examine this collection of ‘Australiana’ in Chinese and Japanese. A pilot project in 1999 had identified the most promising material as being in monographs and periodicals in both languages and, in the case of Chinese, in both traditional and simplified characters. In order further to narrow the amount of material to be examined to fit within the resources of the project, researchers were asked to concentrate on monographs and periodical articles dealing with Australia in the following categories: • Australia as a place of settlement • Australia as exotic • Australia as a model • Australia/Asia geopolitical commentary • Culture, both high and low • Economics, trade and industrial relations • Indigenous Australia • Politics • Tourism • One Nation and Pauline Hanson • An Australian republic • Sydney Olympic games The material covered was divided chronologically as follows: Chinese: Periodicals (simplified characters) 1995-2001 (traditional characters) 1986-2000 Monographs (simplified characters) 1973-1999 (traditional characters) 1947-2000 Japanese: Periodicals (general) 1987-2001 (Nichigo Press) 1995-2000 Monographs 1881-1979 Monographs 1980-2001 Researchers made brief synopses of material in these categories and periodicals, which are attached to their bibliographical details.

  • The AWA Microphone for Harbour Bridge 75Th
    ..The Microphone used for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Opening ceremony. Compiled by David Burger, March 2007 with material from: - Phil Burgess Telstra, - Ted Miles – ex AWA technician. Press Release No. 94 (14/03/07) – Telstra's Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th birthday gift Phil Burgess, GMD, Public Policy and Communication, Telstra. Telstra has donated a rare microphone from its historical collection used to open the Sydney Harbour Bridge 75 years ago to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum - and it has created a bit of excitement. The Reisz microphone is a rare example of Australian technology manufactured in 1930 and was used to broadcast the 1932 opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to thousands of people. What has made the microphone especially significant is the signatures of all 10 dignitaries at the opening ceremony, including the NSW Premier John T Lang, NSW Governor Philip Game and the Bridge's Chief Engineer, JJC Bradfield. Speaking at the official donation event, Telstra's Group Managing Director PP&C Phil Burgess said that Telstra was proud to share this wonderful piece of Australian history with the community on the 75th birthday of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. "Every good piece of history has a story behind it and this microphone is no exception," Dr Burgess said. "Thanks to the Powerhouse Museum, many more people will be able to see and understand the role it played in unveiling a great Aussie icon." Why did Telstra have the microphone in its historical collection? The microphone became one of a collection of microphones owned by Mr Philip Geeves who was announcing for AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australia Ltd) on the day of the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening.

Corp. E-ISSN 1943-4308 www.cognizantcommunication.com MANAGING ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IN EVENT AND VENUE SETTINGS: THE AUSTRALIAN CASE ROB HARRIS,* DEBORAH EDWARDS,* AND PETER HOMEL† *Australian Centre for Event Management, UTS Business School, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia †Crime Reduction and Review Program, Australian Institute of Criminology, Sydney, Australia One of the major challenges of operating events and venues is that of managing attendee/patron alcohol and drug use. In the Australian context, a rising number of alcohol and drug-related incidents in and around these settings have resulted in a renewed focus on how these negative outcomes can be more effectively controlled. In order to aid those charged with the task of addressing this matter— event and venue managers, police, security firms, alcohol and drug regulatory bodies, and govern- ments at all levels—this article seeks to identify those variables with the potential to impact this management issue. Further, it aims to provide the previously identified stakeholders with a deeper appreciation of the raft of practices that are currently in use, and potentially available to them, as they build responses to this challenge at the individual state, precinct, venue, or event level. The research approach used involved an extensive literature review and a series of in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across three states—New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia. Key words: Drugs and alcohol; Events and venues; Regulation; Enforcement; Control practices Introduction has resulted from the rising number of incidents of individual harm, violence, and community disrup- Pressure from the broader community on key stake- tion that have occurred in and around these settings.

The bridge is significant as a symbol of the aspirations of the nation, a focus for the optimistic forecast of a better future following the Great Depression. With the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia was felt to have truly joined the modern age, and the bridge was significant in fostering a sense of collective national pride in the achievement.

    Attachment A Report Prepared by External Planning Consultant 3 Recommendation It is resolved that consent be granted to Development Application D/2017/1652, subject to the following: (A) the variation sought to Clause 6.19 Overshadowing of certain public places in accordance with Clause 4.6 'Exceptions to development standards' of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 be supported in this instance; and (B) the requirement under Clause 6.21 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring a competitive design process be waived in this instance; and (C) the requirement under Clause 7.20 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring the preparation of a development control plan be waived in this instance; Reasons for Recommendation The reasons for the recommendation are as follows: (A) The proposal, subject to recommended conditions, is consistent with the objectives of the planning controls for the site and is compatible with the character of the area into which it will be inserted. It will provide a new unique element in the public domain which has been specifically designed to highlight Sydney’s main boulevard and the important civic precinct of Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building. (B) The proposed artwork is permissible on the subject land and complies with all relevant planning controls with the exception of overshadowing of Sydney Town Hall steps. While the proposal will result in some additional shadowing of the steps this impact will be minor and is outweighed by the positive impacts of the proposal.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.
