  • Trip to Australia March 4 to April 3, 2014
    TRIP TO AUSTRALIA MARCH 4 TO APRIL 3, 2014 We timed this trip so that we'd be in Australia at the beginning of their fall season, reasoning that had we come two months earlier we would have experienced some of the most brutal summer weather that the continent had ever known. Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) were common in the cities that we planned to visit: Sydney (in New South Wales), Melbourne* (in Victoria), and Adelaide (in South Australia); and _____________________________________________________________ *Melbourne, for example, had a high of 47°C (117°F) on January 21; and several cities in the interior regions of NSW, Vic, and SA had temperatures of about 50°C (122°F) during Decem ber-January. _______________________________________________________________ there were dangerous brush fires not far from populated areas. As it turned out, we were quite fortunate: typical daily highs were around 25°C (although Adelaide soared to 33°C several days after we left it) and there were only a couple of days of rain. In m y earlier travelogs, I paid tribute to m y wife for her brilliant planning of our journey. So it was this time as well. In the months leading up to our departure, we (i.e., Lee) did yeoman (yeowoman? yo, woman?) work in these areas: (1) deciding which regions of Australia to visit; (2) scouring web sites, in consultation with the travel agency Southern Crossings, for suitable lodging; (3) negotiating with Southern Crossings (with the assistance of Stefan Bisciglia of Specialty Cruise and Villas, a fam ily-run travel agency in Gig Harbor) concerning city and country tours, tickets to events, advice on sights, etc.; and (4) reading several web sites and travel books.

  • Australian Silhouettes
    from the Collection of the Sydney Living Museums Australian Silhouettes Complied by Lauren Muney, “Silhouettes By Hand” For use at the Lost Trades Fair Kyneton, VIC D'Arcy Wentworth Silhouette of D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827) / artist unknown Date: [c1815] 1 framed silhouette painted on glass : bronzed ; 8 x 5.5 cm Handwritten on back: 'Believed to be / Darcy Wentworth / sometime prior to / 1827'. D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827), was born near Portadown, Ireland, the sixth of the eight children of D'Arcy Wentworth and his wife, Martha Dickson. He served as an ensign in the First Armagh Company of the Irish Volunteers while also serving an apprenticeship for the medical profession. Later, while living in London, he found himself in financial difficulties and at the Old Bailey sessions beginning on 12 December 1787 he was thrice charged with highway robbery: twice he was found not guilty and in the third acquitted for lack of evidence. At the conclusion of the case the prosecutor informed the judge: 'My Lord, Mr. Wentworth, the prisoner at the Bar, has taken a passage to go in a fleet to Botany Bay and has obtained an appointment in it as Assistant Surgeon and desires to be discharged immediately'. Wentworth arrived at Port Jackson in the transport Neptune on 28 June 1790. On 1 August he sailed in the Surprize for Norfolk Island where he began his Australian career as an assistant in the hospital. He was appointed superintendent of convicts at Norfolk Island from 10 September 1791, returning to Sydney in February 1796 where he was appointed one of the assistant surgeons of the colony and later principal surgeon of the Civil Medical Department.

    ANNUAL REPORT COMMISSIONER FOR MOTOR TRANSPORT THE FRONT COVER depicts 10 years of building activity associated with the Department's policy of decentralisation which began in July, 1966. At that time the State was divided into six administrative regions to decentralise the Department's activities. Thirty-two new premises, including regional and district offices, motor registries and lorry checking stations, have been built since 1966 to improve service to the public and working conditions for staff. Pictured on the front cover are some of the buildings con­ structed during the 10 year period 1966-76. THE MAP BELOW shows the location of Departmental Offices. Those built since 1966 are ticked. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE FRONTISPIECE show the new District Office and Motor Registry at Cammeray which opened for business on 19th January, 1976. Primarily the building will serve the public of the rapidly expanding lower north shore area. The of­ fice is fully air-conditioned and has large, attractively furnished areas for the public and staff and was sited on the block to provide maximum parking space in the paved yard.

  • Vicinity and GIC Undertake Swap of Premium Sydney Retail Assets
    ASX Announcement 6 November 2017 Vicinity and GIC undertake swap of premium Sydney retail assets Vicinity Centres (Vicinity, ASX:VCX) announces that it has entered into contracts to exchange a 49% interest in Chatswood Chase Sydney for 50% interests in GIC’s Queen Victoria Building, The Galeries and The Strand Arcade (together, the Sydney CBD Centres). The interests in the Sydney CBD Centres have been acquired for $556.0 million1 on a 5.1% blended capitalisation rate.2 The interest in Chatswood Chase Sydney has been sold for $562.3 million3 on a 4.75% capitalisation rate. Vicinity will continue to manage Chatswood Chase Sydney and will assume management of the Sydney CBD Centres. The transaction is expected to be accretive to funds from operations by approximately $5 million, or 0.13 cents per security, on a full-year basis. Mr Angus McNaughton, CEO and Managing Director, said: “This transaction is strategically significant for Vicinity. We gain exposure to, and the management rights of, three high quality and strongly performing CBD centres in Sydney, Australia’s most populous and most visited CBD. This transaction also expands our strong relationship with GIC. “Combined foot traffic through the Sydney CBD Centres is approximately 60 million people per annum, with visitation from three main, and growing, consumer segments: office workers, tourists and residents, who spent $590 million across the three centres this year.4 “The Sydney CBD Centres perform at very high levels of retail sales productivity, with specialty sales averaging $23,890 per square metre and specialty MAT growth of 2.4%, while overall MAT growth was 4.0%.4,5 This is despite significant disruption from the light rail works along George Street to which all three centres have frontage.
