  • 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.

  • Education on the Rails: a Textual Ethnography of University Advertising in Mobile Contexts
    Education on the rails: a textual ethnography of university advertising in mobile contexts Colin Symes and Christopher Drew Corresponding author: Colin Symes, Department of Education, Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales Australia 2109. [email protected] Christopher Drew, School of Social Sciences, Business & Law, Teesside University, Middlesbrough, Tees Valley United Kingdom TS1 3BX. ABSTRACT As universities have succumbed to market discourses, they have adopted advertising strategies. It is not uncommon to see advertisements for them displayed in such mobile spaces as railway stations and alongside highways. Whilst it is true that such environments have always sought to take advantage of populations in transit, the fact that higher education institutions have turned to them as promotional sites, reflects the fact that the ‘transit’ demographic now includes large numbers of young people and high school students. In this paper, a sample of higher education advertisements found in Sydney’s transit spaces is analysed along with the ‘rationale’ provided by advertising companies responsible for their design. It is argued their existence reflects the fact that universities compete against one another for students and need to develop a persuasive ‘brand’. Thus in line with neo-liberalist constructions of subjectivity, they individualise the educational experience, and translate that experience into an economic asset, as a value-adding process. It is of note then that much of the imagery and copy of the advertising ‘visualises’ education as a journey and underpins the fact that mobility is an inescapable predicate of quotidian life. Keywords: higher education, neo-liberalism, advertising, mobility, subjectivity, Bradley Report “The main objective is to keep the student shoppers rolling in, coming through the doors.” (Hil 2012: 46) In the large corpus of literature on mobility, one area that has received scant attention is the flow of information, symbols and images through transit spaces.

Firstly in the urban design: the conception of First Government House Place as an 'urban room', achieved by setting back the Governor Phillip Tower from Bridge Street, enabled the archaeological site to be conserved, interpreted & celebrated, & served to ennoble the space with the presence of the imposing colonial sandstone buildings to either side; the public link from Phillip Street to Farrer Place, & the setbacks provided to the terraces.

    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. (C) The proposal is of a nature compatible with the overall function of the locality as a civic precinct in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

  • The 'Eeeuw' Factor
    NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR: The Viscerally Sensorial Realities of Being the Colonial Gastronomer Jacqui Newling Sydney Living Museums Author’s statement: This paper includes images that people may find confronting or disturbing. No offence is intended in showing these images. This article was prepared on Gadigal and Wangal lands. The places in Sydney Living Museums’ care are on Aboriginal lands. Sydney Living Museums acknowledges the First Nations Peoples, the traditional custodians, and pays respects to the Elders, past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Abstract As the Colonial Gastronomer at Sydney Living Museums I research, interpret, write, blog, lecture, broadcast and present interactive programs to engage and educate audiences about Australian colonial food and heritage. But how do you learn about the sensory qualities of foods that were popular two hundred years ago, especially those that have been discarded from the mainstream (particularly Anglo-Celtic) Australian culinary repertoire? How they looked and tasted, their textures and aromas? My answer: make them. This has meant preparing and cooking foods that many Australian people find offensive, distasteful, disgusting and ‘gross’: calves’ feet jelly, boiled calves’ heads, brawned pig’s face, peeled tongues, and collared eels so fresh they twitch and jump on the Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 7, 2018 —45— NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR benchtop when filleted. This auto-ethnographic analysis draws on my experiences of working with articles of culinary disgust, particularly animal heads and tongues, to reflect upon the pedagogical processes involved in my role as the Colonial Gastronomer.
