University of Wollongong in Dubai. During the year our Standard and Poor’s credit rating was reaffirmed as AA/A-1+. We will continue to argue for a sustainable system of funding which will allow the University to compete on a global stage. Overall, 2014 has been a year of noteworthy achievements for UOW with national recognition for the quality of our research and teaching, reinforced by global rankings results and increased student enrolments. In August, UOW held its first Open Day since 1997 with up to 7,000 people in attendance. This was a showcase of the University to potential future students. In 2014 UOW enjoyed an increase of 2.5% in total on-shore and off-shore enrolments. This was largely driven by domestic school-leaver first preferences, which were up 14% on 2013. This allowed UOW to make additional offers while maintaining entry standards. 4 UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG With a growing community of 125,000 graduates located in 162 The Information Technology Services Division was significantly countries, a significant emphasis was placed on building a high restructured and a new Information Management and Technology level of contact and engagement with alumni throughout the Division established to create a single point of accountability for the year.

    2011 ANNUAL REPORT THE INSTITUTE BUILDING OUR NEW HOME In July 2011, the United States Studies Centre took up residence in its new home in the Institute Building. With the recent rapid growth in the Centre’s staff and activities, and plans for future expansion in our research, education, and analysis activities, we had stretched beyond the capacity of the historic John Woolley offices. The Institute Building sits on the other side of the University of Sydney campus and dates from the Victorian era, when it was Australia’s first school for the hearing impaired. It provides us with more than twice the space we had previously and is designed specifically for our requirements, including being equipped with the latest in IT and audio-visual technology. For the first time the Centre includes a dedicated tutorial room for the growing number of students enrolling in our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We also have additional office space for academic and administrative staff, enabling us to accommodate our expanding research and events programs.

  • NSW Lighthouses
    Shining across the sea in all weathers, lighthouses protect ships and sailors from dangerous shoals, headlands, bars and reefs. Without them, our early trade and shipping - the backbone of 19th-century Australia - could not have developed. The coastline of NSW is dotted with these beacons. With shipwreck numbers on the rise, colonial authorities wanted to light the NSW coast 'like a street with lamps'. Between 1858 and 1903, 13 major lighthouses were constructed. Although technological advances in marine navigation mean that we no longer need staffed lighthouses, these romantic icons will always be important reminders of Australia's maritime heritage. The NPWS manages 10 historic lighthouses along the NSW coastline. Mostly built in the 19th century, they stretch from Cape Byron at the State's northern tip, to Green Cape on the far south coast. The history of the lighthouses The lighthouse buildings - symbols of strength and isolation For the first century and a half of white settlement, European Australians tended to see themselves as part of a settler society - inhabitants of a colony on the edge of the world. Lighthouses, standing alone in rugged, remote locations, were powerful symbols of this isolation. However, lighthouses also symbolised the growth of the modern Australian nation and the 'civilisation' of the landscape. On the dangerous and relatively uncharted NSW coastline, European settlers and merchants lived in constant fear of shipwreck. With a chain of beacons lighting the shoreline, they felt better able to survive nature's whims. The construction of 'coastal highway lights' along the NSW and Queensland shorelines saw the opening of Australia's northern trade routes in the late 19th Century.

Noises from the big end. Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to complete a full ‘Nuts and Bolts’ restoration of a classic bike? I can remember the club once ran a survey and determined the average time to undertake a full restoration was approx. 18 months to 2 yrs. But that was back in the late 70’s when original parts for Classic bikes were still readily available from shops like: Allparts; Ryan and Honey; Burling and Simmons; A.P North; P&R Williams; London Trading co; Bennet and Woods; Fraser MC’s; Jim Eade’s; Ryans at Parramatta, as well as a host of local workshops supplying parts and services. Sadly we have seen most of these outlets disappear only to be left with a few outlets supplying just a selection of parts. I can remember how it used to be, heading out on a Saturday morning shopping spree and coming back with all the parts necessary for an engine overhaul or just a new set of handlebars, levers and cables or a basic tune up kit.
