In this chapter, we explain why the coastal zone is such an important environment, especially for the people of Australia, and describe changes to the Sydney estuary as an example of environmental transformation due to anthropogenic pressure. The geologic development of the Sydney estuary is briefly traced, showing how the feature was eroded into the Hawkesbury Sandstone, mainly during low sea levels of the glacial periods.

  • History of Sydney Water
    The history of Sydney Water Since the earliest days of European settlement, providing adequate water and sewerage services for Sydney’s population has been a constant challenge. Sydney Water and its predecessor, the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board, has had a rich and colourful history. This history reflects the development and growth of Sydney itself. Over the past 200 years, Sydney’s unreliable rainfall has led to the development of one of the largest per capita water supplies in the world. A truly reliable water supply was not achieved until the early 1960s after constructing Warragamba Dam. By the end of the 20th Century, despite more efficient water use, Sydney once again faced the prospect of a water shortage due to population growth and unreliable rainfall patterns. In response to this, the NSW Government, including Sydney Water, started an ambitious program to secure Sydney’s water supplies. A mix of options has been being used including water from our dams, desalination, wastewater recycling and water efficiency. Timeline 1700s 1788 – 1826 Sydney was chosen as the location for the first European settlement in Australia, in part due to its outstanding harbour and the availability of fresh water from the Tank Stream. The Tank Stream remained Sydney’s main water source for 40 years. However, pollution rapidly became a problem. A painting by J. Skinner Prout of the Tank Stream in the 1840s 1800s 1880 Legislation was passed under Sir Henry Parkes, as Premier, which constitutes the Board of Water Supply and Sewerage. 1826 The Tank Stream was abandoned as a water supply because of pollution from rubbish, sewage and runoff from local businesses like piggeries.

  • Repatriation of the History of Aboriginal Sydney
    Pieces of a Thousand Stories: Repatriation of the History of Aboriginal Sydney Peter Read University of Sydney Suzana Sukovic University of Sydney Abstract The on-line project A History of Aboriginal Sydney1, based at the University of Sydney, takes existing educational and Australian Indigenous digital initiatives in a new direction. By dividing Sydney into six geographical areas, we are creating a knowledge base of post-invasion Aboriginal history, incorporating different forms of tagging, timeline and digital mapping to provide multiple paths to information in text, videos, still images and, in the future, three dimensional reconstructions of former living areas. After eighteen months research we are maintaining a balance between unearthing new and forgotten material, incorporating it into our developing database, and exploring the potential of digital mapping, animation and 3D historical reconstruction for educational and research purposes. With close Indigenous consultation, especially the Aboriginal Educational Consultative Groups, we hope to digitally construct the Aboriginal history of Sydney and return it to the people who have been deprived of so much of their history for so long. Introduction A lost history? While Sydney Aboriginal families still carry their own oral histories, very often they are much fragmented. Laws and cruel or thoughtless bureaucratic action closed off much information that was the right of every young person to know. Government policies accidentally or deliberately put an end to their historical knowledge by separating old from young, families from children, grandparents from parents, knowledge holders from knowledge receivers, and by breaking up community living areas. Stolen Generations children grew up knowing nothing. Some families thought it best, from the mid-nineteenth century, not to identify as Aboriginal at all.

  • 2. Summary History of the Development of the University of Sydney
    2. SUMMARY HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A fuller history of the development of the university, upon which the analysis of significance in this report was based, is located at Appendix A. This summary provides a very brief overview of the history of the place. The maps and development charts or matrixes following (at 2.2 and 2.3) show the development sequence of the university and the major development areas within the university grounds. 2.1 SUMMARY HISTORY The University grounds are on part of a broad ridge system which forms the watershed between Port Jackson and Botany Bay. An arm of the ridge system extends north from the watershed down between Blackwattle Bay and Rozelle Bay and their respective tributaries. These broad ridge tops are capped with Wianamatta shales, underlain by Hawkesbury sandstone. However, there is no outcropping sandstone within the university campus. The geology of the University grounds is important as the absence of Hawkesbury sandstone means that Aboriginal sites that are most commonly found associated with sandstone formations would not have been present. There is potential for the presence of silcrete, one of the most commonly used rock types for making small flaked implements in the Sydney region, associated with the Wianamatta shales in the grounds, but this has not been demonstrated by finds identified in the grounds to date. The upper reaches of several creeks running into Port Jackson have their headwaters within the university grounds. Blackwattle Creek, which runs into Blackwattle Bay, began in a swampy area where Darlington School now stands, and another tributary began in Victoria Park.

  • An Analysis of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Relation to Modernity and Postmodernity
    The Coat Hanger: An analysis of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in relation to Modernity and Postmodernity Katherine Sharah University of Technology, Sydney, Australia The Sydney Harbour Bridge has become a recognised symbol of Sydney and Australia. Despite it being historically documented it has not been analysed in terms of specifically applying the concepts of modernity and postmodernity. This article explores the facets of the Harbour Bridge by applying modern and postmodern concepts to the historical information to gain a greater understanding of the Bridge and the present moment we live in. From this we can conclude that these concepts, although maybe not consciously in the mindset of those at the time, provided the foundations for the development of the Bridge. Modernist ideas upheld and praised science used in the Bridge construction. Progress was embraced leading to pressure from society to build the Bridge, which resulted in Sydney’s progression beyond the Bridge. Ideas of equality and secularisation were associated with the Bridge. A renewed interest in the history of the Bridge resulted from postmodern ideas of looking back upon the past however this raises questions of exploiting the past. The Bridge can be understood as a site of chaos from a postmodern view as it takes on multiple meanings. Sydney would not be as we know it today without the influence of these concepts. Figure 1: Sydney Harbour Bridge Modernity and postmodernity provide an explanation as to how and why the Sydney Harbour Bridge has evolved into its current state in the present moment. The Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 and was seen as a ‘symbol of modernity’ (Carson 2009, p.421) as it was a sign of ‘technological prowess’ (Spearritt 2007, p.150) and showed Sydney’s progression from a convict agrarian settlement to a modern metropolis.

  • The Sydney History Group: from the Beginning
    The Sydney History Group: From the Beginning JILL ROE ormally speaking, the Sydney History Group (SHG) began in 1977, and ran for almost 20 years to 1995, when the last of its seven Fbooks appeared.1 The books all presented original research on aspects of Sydney history and were edited by members of the Group, all whom are here today except for first president, the Warrnambool-born economic historian and urbanist Max Kelly.2 His MA on the history of Paddington, later published as A Paddock Full of Houses in 1978, set a new standard in suburban history and whose outline for a history of Sydney delivered to an informal interdisciplinary gathering of economic historians in the early seventies was ahead of its time. Max died too soon in 1996. Mostly the chapters we published had been delivered as part of a regular program of meetings each year, these being held at members’ houses or interesting historic sites such as Randwick Hospital – the old Sydney Journal Vol 4, No 1 (2013): 204-208 ISBN: 1835-0151 © UTSePress and the author Sydney Journal | Roe Children’s Asylum building – on a Saturday afternoon or evening. The Group also published a newsletter, naughtily entitled The Sydney Gazette, which contained news and reviews, even from time to time items of research, and ran the occasional conference, the first at the National Trust centre on Observatory Hill, another at Sabine Erika’s weekender in the Blue Mountains. These days all this activity would be called a project and cost a mint. Actually it was more often than not fun especially the meetings.
