This is where the research significance of the archaeology is explored and revealed, giving its meaning within a theoretical and social context. The main research questions that the archaeological evidence allows us to address are:1 1. Pre-European environment (Chapter 12) Evidence pertaining to the topography, geomorphology, vegetation etc. of this site prior to colonisation may contribute to research in the environmental history of the Sydney region, Aboriginal land management practices, historical ecology etc. 2. Remaking the landscape (Chapter 13) The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and plantings to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire.

    CANfflS1!flA 1UfrllWALKliMG CLUIBS INC. NIEWflIETTIEIQ ITPA Box 160, Canberra, R.C.T. 2601 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NBF1 1859 VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3 President's Pnttle At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area.

  • There Are Also Hints of Personal Tensions in the Official Accounts
    "I take the opportunity of McCormick returning to England, being invalided i.e. being disagreeable to the captain and Wickham. He is no loss. Derbyshire is also discharged the service, from his own desire, not choosing his conduct, which has been bad about money matters, to be investigated". (''1 There are also hints of personal tensions in the official accounts. The crew list of the Beagle under Wickham's command suggests that two of the lieutenants, James Emery and Henry Eden, were senior to Stokes but without his survey experience. Both left the ship in the month when Stokes received the command. However, professional affinity and shared hardship also brought about close friendships. Charles Darwin, inclined to be snobbish and reserved when he first joined the BeaCqle, very soon told his family; "I like the officers much more than I did at first, especially Wickham and young King and stokes"(13) and commended them as "evidently . .. a very intelligent, active, determined set of young fellows". (I4) He even struck up firm friendships with the ship's artists, Augustus Earle and Conrad Martens, neither of whom would ever have entered his social circle in England. Coincidentally both men became major figures in the history of art in early Australia. Earle, en route from London to India in 1824, was stranded on Tristan da Cunha for eight months. Rescued by the Adrnival Cockbuvn he was put ashore at Hobart and, making the most of his accidental arrival in Australia, he moved to Sydney, painted the portraits of successive governors Brisbane and Darling and became the leading portrait and landscape painter of New South Wales until he departed to continue his wanderings in 1827.

    - 1 - DOWN UNDER THE NEWSLETTER OF CLAN LESLIE SOCIETY Vol. 7 No 3, July, Aug, Sept 2012 OF AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND. (CLANZ) A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEFTAIN Well here we are almost halfway through another year and what a year it has been, violence seems to be steadily on the increase. I often wonder if it is worse or is it an illusion due to television and better George Leslie reporting and communication by the media. It does seem to me that people are less tolerant of each other. I remember being brought up living in tenement housing in Aberdeen. Yes there were difficulties, but they seemed to be overcome and everyone seemed to co-exist. I remember going to the Duthie Park with my friend Neil Wilson, we would have been between the age of five to six years old and off we went on own, feeling no sense of danger. I think Signalman Patrick Leslie 31842 2NZEF. that living in council tenement housing had the effect of making everyone work as a team, with a Signalman Patrick Leslie was born on the 14 th roster for washing day and cleaning the stairs and October 1912 at Okahukura, Kaipara, North the bannisters by the women folk and the men had Auckland, New Zealand, as Patrick Perekara but to make sure that during the winter time the water decided to take the name of Leslie, owing to his pipes were lagged to stop them from freezing. closeness to Andrew John (Jack) Leslie and We give a welcome back to Barrie who has just Andrews wife Mary Edith Leslie, nee Hall, as returned home from hospital, after a rather lengthy when he was 12 he started to work on the Leslie stay in rehab, following his back operation.
