  • Snakes, Spiders and a Painter's Eye
    REBECCA RATH BFA HONS Assoc. Dip Arts (Fine Arts) M: 0412572651 E: [email protected] W: www.rebeccarath.com.au Social Media: @rebeccarathart Snakes, Spiders and a Painter’s Eye. “Rebecca is an incredibly talented artist who has an innate ability to capture the very soul of the valley. I feel as if the land is speaking to me through her use of colour and texture on canvas - they remind me of home every time I gaze upon them and they evoke the heat, the intense storms, the very essence of the amazing landscape that is the Hunter (Australia). I love my paintings so much and feel privileged to have them in my home. I know I will collect more in the coming years.” Susan Arrowsmith. I close my eyes and feel the warm sun on my back, the circling sound of the wind in the grass and the sweep of my brush. There is nothing more tranquil, peaceful and wildly free than being in the Australian bush and painting her splendor. The idea of one of the world’s most venomous snakes do tug at the back of my mind, yet the lure of Australia’s vast plains and majestic skies always entice my painter’s curiosity. Her powerful colour palette and rogue visceral texture is a feast for any painter’s eye. At times it is challenging to get outside. Insects, spiders and snakes are at the back of my mind, when I sit among the tall grass and paint the sprawling landscape in front of my eyes.

  • Hunter Estuary Landmark Dates
    CRITICAL EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING THE HUNTER ESTUARY SINCE 1970 Max Maddock Updated 30 December 2003 During January – February 2002, the community was made aware of proposals for industrial development in the Hunter Estuary by a series of articles in the Newcastle Herald. The proposed developments have the potential to destroy the estuary as a migratory wader habitat and as a Wetland of International Importance listed as a Ramsar site under the Ramsar Convention. They will have serious adverse effects on the complex ecology of the whole of the estuary and associated flood plain wetlands, resulting in changes to flood regime and damage to the fishing industry. In February 2003, during a pre-election visit by the Premier of NSW to Newcastle a concept plan for development of the port environs of the Hunter Estuary (KBR 2003), with even worse potential impacts, was released. Community consultation on the plan was promised. This document gives an analysis of historical events and documents relevant to developments and proposals for developments in the Hunter Estuary for the period 1970-2003. A summary of critical landmarks leading up to the recent industrial development proposals and the Newcastle Port Environs Concept Proposal and subsequent events, is given in the Appendix. The list is by no means exhaustive, but provides an insight into critical issues associated with the proposals. Government Environmental Policies, Acts and Legislation Both the NSW and Federal Governments have developed a set of key policies, Acts and legislation governing decision making on development proposals in wetland settings. In issues associated with wetlands of international importance, the State Government is bound to comply with the Federal requirements in addition to its own requirements, ensuring Ecologically Sustainable Development has been accepted by both governments as the fundamental underlying principle guiding assessment of development proposals.

In a society where most of the people live in poverty, the principle that 'more is better' applies. However, when a society becomes affluent this is no longer the case. Many of our problems originate in the fact that some people have not yet grasped this simple truth. One of the problems emanating from this state of affairs is the depletion of natural resources and the pollution of our land, air and water. This book gives a brief account of some of the groups who have attempted to restore a balance, or sanity, into the debate about where we, as a society, are heading.

  • A Case Study of the Official and Unofficial Rebranding of Newcastle, NSW Laura Crommelin Australian Graduate School of Urbanism, University of New South Wales
    Selling Newcastle to the world, and to Newcastle: A Case Study of the Official and Unofficial Rebranding of Newcastle, NSW Laura Crommelin Australian Graduate School of Urbanism, University of New South Wales Abstract: Like many industrial cities, Newcastle confronted significant economic challenges in the late 20th century, culminating in the BHP steelworks closure in 1999. While some feared the closure would mean the demise of Australia’s ‘steel city’, Newcastle has instead seen its economy diversify, its industrial waterfront redeveloped and its unemployment rates decline. Accompanying these economic, social and physical changes have been various attempts to reshape Newcastle’s image, to overcome the city’s lingering association with crisis and decay. This paper provides a case study of two key players in this process, the official Brand Newcastle rebranding campaign and the unofficial revitalisation project Renew Newcastle, drawing on interviews conducted in Newcastle during 2012-2013. Looking at these two projects, it is evident that both seek to promote Newcastle to the outside world, but also to promote their vision of Newcastle to Newcastle itself. As such, although Renew Newcastle functions primarily as a physical revitalisation project, it can also be understood as a participant in the rebranding of Newcastle, and one that has arguably been more effective than the official campaign. Given this conclusion, the case study highlights the need for the urban branding literature to incorporate broader perspectives on who participates in urban branding and how. 1. Introduction Long defined by its gritty industrial heritage (Winchester et al., 2000), Newcastle has experienced significant economic, cultural and physical change in recent decades.
