    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc March-April 2016 ISSUE 43 ISSN 2203-4366 Photographers – through their eyes There is a particular group of people to whom we, as people/organisations interested in our history, owe a huge dept. That is - the photographer. Be it the official or professional or private photographer, they provide us with pictures of both ourselves and our nation, at specific points in time. Their work is a historical record, showing the meaning and intensity of life at the time, and the current social dynamics that accompany them. The Macquarie Dictionary (1995) defines a photographer as a person who carries out “the art of producing images of objects on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light or of other forms of radiant energy, as x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays etc”. Obviously today in a more modern definition, this would be expanded to include digital experiences. However, for the recording of historical subjects, this former definition would ring true. Many photographers in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to celebrate the communities of people who work to lay the foundations of the country, to record specific events, covering both individual stories, and town and rural life. Incline, Kembla Coal, King Katoomba clouds, Phillips Chinese wool wasking, Kerry When we look at a photo, what are we looking at? Many photos bring us back again and again, and we see something different every time. The photographer may have sought to depict a particular event, person, but inadvertently has recorded a variety of other material, such as fashions and tools, landscapes and buildings, cultures and social customs, techniques and trades.

  • Blue Mountains
    © Lonely Planet Publications 106 www.lonelyplanet.com 107 Around Sydney Sydney’s suburbs spread over a broad coastal plain like spilt honey, hemmed in by rugged country on three sides and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The area sustains Australia’s larg- est concentration of people, the urban melange thinning as the kilometres stretch inland. AROUND SYDNEY Beyond the city, bushwalking tracks, cycling paths, scenic train routes and roads connect a small-town smorgasbord, interspersed with gorgeous waterways, uncrowded beaches and magical national parks. The proximity of these delights to Sydney means that public transport is often a viable option – you can cover a lot of ground on day trips, with or without your own wheels. To the west, the wooded foothills of the Great Dividing Range rise to the lofty Blue Mountains, with their heaven-sent scenery and quirky villages. To the south, Royal National Park harbours lost-to-the-world beaches, rainforest pockets and precipitous cliff-scapes. Inland, fertile soils support the rural settlements of Macarthur Country and historic Macquarie towns, extending south to the dignified Southern Highlands. Occupying a hefty chunk of Sydney’s north, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park’s dense bush- land and sandstone outcrops are cut by shimmering inlets. Further north, the landscape is defined by the meandering brown snake of the Hawkesbury River, with its ferry crossings, oyster farms and sleepy towns. Beyond here are the inland lakes and surf-centric communi- ties of the Central Coast. HIGHLIGHTS Hole up

  • Hartley Valley Safety Upgrade Appendix D
    63 Figure 6.11: Proposed batters on the northern side of the highway, near the Log Cabin shop. SKM Coxs River Road and Ambermere Drive Intersection Redesign The Coxs River Road/Ambermere Drive intersection is where the most substantial changes will occur along this part of the highway. The main works proposed are the movement of the junction of Coxs River Road with the highway, some 50 metres to the east (Figure 6.12). This allows for more roadway space between the eastern boundary of the Harp of Erin and Coxs River Road, facilitating the viewing corridor for drivers when turning from it into the highway. It is estimated that the proposed new alignment for Coxs River Road would be at grade, because the landform south of the highway is mostly at the same level. It does, however, fall slightly to the east, so a small batter is required which will raise the ground to the same as the final road level. Figure 6.12 and Figure 6.14 show in more detail the actual extent of cut and fill that would be required to support the realignment of Coxs River Road. The fill required at the northern end, where the junction with the highway occurs, is necessary because of the fall of the land. The cut required at the southern end is needed because of a small ridge. These elements are indicated in the longitudinal section (Figure 6.14). While the raising of the road in this area could change the nature of the Conservation Area these changes are considered to be quite minor.

  • 16 December, 2019 Mr Alistair Lunn Director Western Region Transport
    Upper Fort Street, Observatory Hill Millers Point, NSW 2000 GPO BOX 518 Sydney NSW 2001 T +61 2 9258 0123 F +61 2 9251 1110 www.nationaltrust.org.au/NSW 16 December, 2019 Mr Alistair Lunn Director Western Region Transport for NSW Great Western Highway Upgrade Program PO Box 2332 Orange NSW 2800 Email: [email protected] Dear Mr Lunn, Great Western Highway Upgrade Program – Public Consultation The National Trust of Australia (NSW) makes the following comments in response to the public strategic corridor consultation on the Great Western Highway Upgrade Program. The Trust understands that this includes the strategic corridor upgrade proposed between Katoomba and Mount Victoria and the corridor reserved in 2013 between Mount Victoria and Lithgow. The Trust must initially lodge its strong objection to the minimal time frame (comments ending on 16 December) for public input on such a huge project with the potential to impact on people’s lives and the unique heritage and environment of the Blue Mountains. The design of the Great Western Highway Upgrade Program strategic corridor map, effectively upside down, with south to the top of the map, made it very difficult to interpret the impacts of the various highway diversions. Major re-routings of the highway which appeared to be southwards were actually to the north and vice-versa. Climate change is contributing to extended drought, more intense and frequent bushfires and smoke levels twelve times hazardous levels, as scientists have warned for decades. Now is not the time to be proposing major expressway expansions when alternate more friendly environment and climate options such as rail transport are available.
