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.

    REDEEMER news NEWSLETTER TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF REDEEMER BAPTIST SCHOOL Greetings to all parents, guardians and friends! What a wonderful Easter Chapel service we had at School led by Year 12 reading the Easter story from the Gospel of John. The singing from the whole School was inspira- tional, supported so ably by our instrument group. It was wonderful that so many parents and family members could Term 1 Issue 1 share this occasion with us. April 2016 The purpose of this newsletter is to review the term that is almost over and to let you know some important dates for the first half of Term 2. TERM ONE IN REVIEW Parent/Guardian Information Nights Your feedback on these occasions was that we have been able to convey the School expectations and guidelines in supporting learning at home. The attendance this year was very good. We see these occa- sions as vital in creating the link between School and home. The Senior Hospitality students excelled in catering for us on all these occasions. I am sure you will agree! Module Two (Years 9 & 10) School Camp What a varied week with the most magnificent weather on the South Coast. Our students were able to complete field trips for Geography, Science, Business and Commerce, as well as strenuous activities such as climbing Pigeon House Mountain and canoeing the Clyde River from Nelligen to Batemans Bay. One of the field trips was a visit to a dairy farm where all the cows are milked by robots! This is a new project in the Nowra district and an amazing application of current technology to agriculture.

    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.

    NPA Bulletin Matronal Parks Association ACT Vol.20 No. 3 March 1983 $1.00 Registered by Australia Post • Publication No NBH0857 ISSN 0727-8837 YEAR OF THE TREE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION AWARD PICTURE PRESIDENT'S FOREWORD The Future of the Gudgenby Nature Reserve During January a fire burnt out more than half the Gudgenby Nature Reserve and part of the Cotter valley. In a period of two weeks most of the southern section of the Reserve including the whole of the Kelly wilderness area was consumed. The long drought and hot summer eventually took its toll of the Reserve. We know from past experience that periodic fires are one of the natural forces which have shaped the Australian bush and helped to produce our distinctive flora. This realisation does not, however, lessen the shock in seeing the Reserve blackened and burnt, seemingly stripped of all life forms. With rain the Reserve will recover and the mountain slopes and plains will again; be covered in their distinctive trees, shrubs and wild-flowers. As we wait for nature to take its course let us use this opportunity to take stock of the problems facing the future management of the Reserve so that we can make a fresh approach to the solution of some of the problem areas. One of the questions which must be addressed fairly quickly is the future of the Gudgenby pine plantation; the fire largely destroyed this plantation and it probably now has little or no commercial value. The remains of the plantation should be removed and the area allowed to regenerate naturally.
