Narcissus was a very handsome young man. All the young girls and maidens who met Narcissus immediately fell in love with him. But Narcissus was hard-hearted and vain. He loved no one but himself. One day, Narcissus was walking in the woods, and he became thirsty. Coming upon a quiet pool of clear water, Narcissus bent down to take a drink. As he leaned toward the water, he suddenly stopped and stared. Mirrored there before him on the surface of the water, Narcissus Educationsaw the most beautiful face he had ever seen in his life. Narcissus was spellbound by the beauty he saw in the pool. Narcissus smiled at the handsome face. The face smiled back. But when Narcissus reached out to touch it, the image vanished in a blur of ripples. Narcissus did not realise that he had fallen in love with his own refl ection. When the water stilled and theBrownlow refl ection returned, Narcissus could not tear himself away. He longed for that which he could never possess. Now he knew the pain of love! Neither eating nor drinking for weeks, Narcissus eventually died. Close to where Narcissus died, there grew a delicate fl ower with white petals and a yellow centre.

Then answer questions about the article. Choose the best answer for Numbers 15 and 16. The Great Wall of China is the longest structure ever built. Its total length is about 6275 kilometres. One of the highest parts of the wall rises to about 10 metres. The wall crosses northern China between the east coast and north-central China. The Great Wall of China was built entirely by hand. Some believe the Great Wall is a symbol of China’s greatness and of the ability of humankind to accomplish amazing feats. The Great Wall of China is really a series of walls strung together. About two thousand years ago, the wall began as a series of short walls. Historians believe that these short walls were built to mark northern territories. Over the centuries, various rulers built sections of the wall to protect their northern borders against invaders. During these periods, sections of the wall were connected and strengthened. Parts of the Great Wall have crumbled through the years. However, much of it remains, and some sections have been restored. Watchtowers stand positioned along the wall about 100–200 metres apart. The towers once served as lookout posts. Throughout the centuries, armies were posted along the length of the wall to provide early warning of an invasion and a first line of defence. Large piles of straw and dirt, once used to build signal fires, have been found at different points of the wall. Some parts of the Great Wall consist of a foundation of granite blocks. The sides were constructed with stone or brick, and the inside of the wall was filled with earth. On top of the wall, a road was constructed by using bricksEducation set in mortar. The road was used by the workers who built the wall and by the soldiers who defended it. In hilly areas where brick and rock were scarce, portions of the wall were built from dirt dug from the earth. Workers moistened the dirt and then pounded it until it was solid. Brownlow Though the Great Wall is no longer used for defence, it attracts many visitors. Tourists from around the world come to see China’s symbol of greatness and achievement.Hawker © 15. What is the article mostly about? 16. What is the best title for the article?

  • The Eureka Flag
    EUREKA EDUCATION — THE EUREKA FLAG 29 THE EUREKA FLAG image, right & p. 29 unknown artist The flag of the Southern Cross (Eureka Flag) 1854 wool, cotton Actual size: 260.0 x 324.0cm (irreg.) Original size: 260.0 x 370.5 cm Gift of the King family, 2001 Collection of the Art Gallery of Ballarat The original Flag of the Southern Cross (The Eureka Flag) can be viewed at the Eureka Centre, on loan from the Art Gallery of Ballarat. It was made in 1854. ORIGINS OF THE FLAG It is not known who designed or made the flag. It is widely believed that it was designed by a Canadian miner, Henry Charles Ross (see Key figures) There are traditional stories which suggest that it may have been sewn by three women – Anne Withers, Anne Duke and Anastasia Hayes (see Women on the goldfields) but there are alternative claims that the claim was made by local tentmakers Edwards and Davis. Neither of these stories have been proven. The flag was first raised at a Ballarat Reform League meeting at Bakery Hill on 29 November 1854. It was then moved to the Eureka Stockade where it was flown until torn down after the battle on 3 December, only five days later. FLAG DESCRIPTION The flag is 2.6 metres high and 4metres wide – more than double the size of a standard flag. The blue fabric is mostly cotton, while wool has been used for the white cross and the stars. The flag is made up of multiple panels of fabric that have been ART stitched together.

  • An Argument from Design
    Raising the Standard: An Argument from Design Tony Burton Abstract The creative process and principles informing the design of some special purpose and other flags lead to conclusions for flag design in general. The dynamics of metaphor and shape- shifting are considered. The scope for greater pageantry and innovation in flag design is explored. Current national flags of complex or awkward design present a challenge. Possible remedies are suggested. To paraphrase a famous utterance, the known delivers the unknown, and as at least one national flag of recent vintage demonstrates, the unknown can lead to an unforeseen, but serendipitous result. Among the many instances of how not to design a flag, how to is more worthwhile. Vexillologists have higher standards.

  • Objection Received to the Australia First Party Logo Application
    26 April 2016 The Manager Australian Electoral Commission National Office Locked Bag 4007 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Via email [email protected] and facsimile 02 6215 9999 Dear Sir or Madam, Opposition to the registration of the proposed logo for the ‘Australia First’ party. The Australian Worker’s Union is Australia’s largest blue-collar union with a history dating back until 1896. Our union has been central to the industrial history of Australia and, on this basis, the AWU feels qualified to oppose the logo registration proposed by the so-called ‘Australia First’ party. While not wishing to provide the Australian Electoral Commission with a history lesson of which it is no doubt aware, it is vital to understand the cultural underpinnings of the Eureka Flag. Put simply, the Eureka Flag is central to Australia’s history and its working class values. It has a legendary status and understood meaning in the community. The Eureka Flag is central to the iconic Eureka Stockade dispute of 1854, an event that many unions jointly lay claim to in their historic and cultural underpinnings. The original flag still exists in the Ballarat Fine Art Museum where it stands as an icon to working Australians. The AWU encourages the AEC to closely consider and investigate the rich history of the symbol. Such national cultural icons are not for political hijacking. They should not be the plaything of those who seek to benefit from their appropriation. The AWU notes that the Electoral Commission can refuse to register a logo of a political party if the logo “is obscene; or so nearly resembles the logo of any other person that it is likely to be confused with or mistaken for that logo.” For the ‘Australia First’ party to attempt to hijack the Eureka Flag offensive to all trade unionists past and present.

  • 2030: a Vision for the Eureka Centre
    2030: A VISION FOR THE EUREKA CENTRE The City of Ballarat 2019 1 CONTENTS Executive Summary 3 Background 4 Strategic Context 5 Approach 6 Purpose 7 Imagining The Future 8 Vision Statement 9 Mission 10 Strategic Recommendations 11 Appendix 1 14 Appendix 2 15 Appendix 3 16 Adjacent image: ‘Eureka Riot 17th October’ 1854, original artwork, C. Doudiet, Art Gallery of Ballarat. 2 | 2030: A Vision for the Eureka Centre 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Eureka story is at once a profound and compelling Australian and global story. It is a touchpoint in Australia’s history, designated as a place in time where the foundations of Australian democracy were laid. Eureka is seen as the embodiment of hope and struggle in the face of adversity and has become a beacon for equality, unity and the right to a fair go, which now lies at the heart of the Australian spirit and identity. Its broad appeal to different sets of values, aspirations and ideals has ensured it continues to endure and resonate even after several generations. Eureka’s deep resonance in the Australian imagination underpins ‘2030: A Vision for the Eureka Centre’. The 2030 Vision imagines a successful and financially sustainable future for the Eureka Centre as a leading national cultural institution and much-loved visitor attraction. This vision is committed to democratizing the Eureka Centre and building its reputation through a commitment to innovative and accessible programming, social space activation and the integration of the visitor experience into community life. It presents strategic advice from the Eureka Centre Community Advisory Committee, which was established by the City of Ballarat to support the transition from the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E).
