  • Brisbane-Based Alchemia Merge with Melbourne-Based Meditech
    www.asiabiotech.com Industry Watch Australia Brisbane-based Alchemia Merge with Melbourne-based Meditech Brisbane-based biotech firm, Alchemia, and Melbourne-based Meditech Research are to merge via an off-market takeover bid by Alchemia for Meditech that values the latter company at A$16.9 million (US$12.4 million). The companies said that by joining forces, they would create a substantial drug development company with an extensive pipeline of products, a strong financial position and an experienced management team. The companies also said that the merger would bring together two companies with technology platforms based on carbohydrates. Alchemia's chemistry expertise would complement Meditech's biology expertise. Meditech's strong preclinical and clinical expertise would accelerate the development of Alchemia's drug discovery opportunities. Alchemia chief executive officer, Tracie Ramsdale, said that the combined group would have exceptional people, a high-quality product pipeline and innovative technology. "The Alchemia board believes Meditech will be an excellent addition to Alchemia's growing drug development and discovery portfolio," Ramsdale said. Alchemia will offer Meditech shareholders one Alchemia share for every nine Meditech shares, valuing Meditech at A$16.9 million (US$12.4 million) based on Alchemia's 30-day volume- weighted average price of A$1.207 (US$0.885). The merger proposal has the unanimous support of Meditech directors, who intend to recommend the offer to Meditech shareholders in the absence of a superior proposal. All directors who hold Meditech shares or options will accept Alchemia's offer in respect of their shareholdings and option holdings in the absence of a superior proposal.

FRESHWATER CRAYFISH (FAMILY PARASTACIDAE) OF QUEENSLAND WITH AN ApPENDIX DESORIBING OTHlm AV5'lHALIAN SPEClEf'. By E. F. HIEK. (;ommonwealth Scientific and Industrial l~csearch Organization - Divhdon of Entomology, Canberra, A.C.T. (Figures 1-13.) Freshwater crayfish occur in almost every body of fresh water from artificial damfl and natural billabongs (I>tanding water) to headwater creeks and large rivers (flowing water). Generally the species are of considerable size and therefore easily collected, but even so many of the larger forms are unknown scientifically. This paper deals with all the species that have been collected from Queensland. It also includes a few species from New South Wales and other States. No doubt additional species will be found and some of the mOre variable series, at present included under the one specific namc, will be further subdivided. From Queensland nine species are described as new, making a total of seventeen species (of three genera) recorded from that State. The type localities of all but two of these species are in Queensland but some are not restricted to the State. Clark's 1936 and subsequent papers have been used as the basis for further taxonomic studies of the Australian freshwater crayfish.

  • Queensland, Australia: Brisbane, the Reef, and the Gold Coast by Lee Foster
    Queensland, Australia: Brisbane, the Reef, and the Gold Coast by Lee Foster Australia benefits with travel momentum gained from its occasional exposures on the international stage. The Australian emerges as a person with a self-reliant, can-do attitude. They have a saying in Australia that, if your car or your tractor breaks down, especially in the back country, you should be able to fix it yourself. The idea is that, with a little baling wire, an Aussie should be able to fix about anything. The saying is, “Twitch it up with wire.” Brisbane is one city that has benefited from exposure. When thinking of Brisbane , consider: *The city of Brisbane itself, which has 1.7 million inhabitants in the region. One interesting category of shop sells aboriginal arts from the state. As you walk around the city, you see statues and small parks, such as a monument to Queen Victoria . The city lies in a sub-tropical environment, with the October spring iparticularly colorful because purple jacaranda trees bloom lavishly. Queenslanders often build their houses on stilts for greater air flow, flood control, and termite or dry rot prevention. *The Gold Coast, the 19-mile beach playground starting 39 miles south of Brisbane . The so-called Gold Coast ranks as one of the great beach areas of the world. Extensive development of hotels, especially by the Japanese, occurs at Surfer’s Paradise , including one of the largest hotels in Australia , the Conrad International. Swimming and sunning at Gold Coast Beaches rivals the experience of Hawaii or the Caribbean . Surfers Paradise is well known as Australia ‘s longest topless swimming area.
