    Media Release Embargoed until 09:00am April 1st, 2015 THE PURR-FECT DAY OUT SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium launches the world’s first cat friendly Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience In the latest phenomenon in the trend of pet hotels, pet insurance, pet passports, doggy day spas and cat cafés; SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is opening the world’s first Cat Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience1. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, home to the world’s largest collection of Australian aquatic life, is opening its doors (and even its tanks) to the Australian feline community and their human parents. From today, cats, known for their love of watching fish, will be able to stroll through the exhibits; and for the more adventurous kitten, go furry face-to-fin in our specially designed cat tank. Australia is a nation of animal lovers, with more animals than people; there is an estimated 25 million* pets owned in the country, one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. It is estimated that the pet industry is worth 8 billion dollars*, with Aussies shelling a small fortune on things from grooming to pet hotels. Now Aussie pet owners can add one more experience to their list, with a trip to SEA LIFE Sydney Cat Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience tipped to be the hottest places to be seen for cats in 2015. The Kitty Snorkel Experience has been designed in partnership with Marine Biologists at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and Dr Kim Kendall, Sydney’s best loved and one of the world’s most well-known cat specialist.

  • Trip to Australia March 4 to April 3, 2014

    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.

The social, cultural and physical heritage of the area is highly valued by the City as well as recognised at a state and national level. Consistent rows of terrace houses, corner hotels and warehouses typify the heritage fabric of the area, with elements such as retaining walls, stairs and the landform of Observatory Hill itself also contributing to the experience of the place. Opportunities to celebrate and interpret the heritage of the area should be incorporated in public domain and streetscape upgrade works, including the retention of elements such as stone kerbs. At Observatory Hill, opportunities to restore the park space after numerous infrastructure encroachments, and improve the setting and interpretation of heritage elements can be explored. buildings (existing and approved) CoS heritage listed buildings (Draft City Plan LEP 2011) CoS conservation area (Draft City Plan LEP 2011) 24 HARBOUR VILLAGE NORTH PUBLIC DOMAIN STUDY 4. Celebrate landform and harbour views The experience of landform and harbour views is one of the defi ning characteristics of the area. Public domain works should respect and reinforce existing Harbour view corridors along streets and between buildings, and should highlight the experience of topography with pedestrian bridges and well designed stairs and lifts where appropriate. Existing sandstone walls along The Hungry Mile, stairs and bridges, are unique to this precinct and should be celebrated. Signifi cant and historic panoramic views from Observatory Hill to Sydney Harbour are important and must be protected.
  • The Architecture of Scientific Sydney

    The Architecture of Scientific Sydney

    Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 118 Parts 3 and 4 [Issued March, 1986] pp.181-193 Return to CONTENTS The Architecture of Scientific Sydney Joan Kerr [Paper given at the “Scientific Sydney” Seminar on 18 May, 1985, at History House, Macquarie St., Sydney.] A special building for pure science in Sydney certainly preceded any building for the arts – or even for religious worship – if we allow that Lieutenant William Dawes‟ observatory erected in 1788, a special building and that its purpose was pure science.[1] As might be expected, being erected in the first year of European settlement it was not a particularly impressive edifice. It was made of wood and canvas and consisted of an octagonal quadrant room with a white conical canvas revolving roof nailed to poles containing a shutter for Dawes‟ telescope. The adjacent wooden building, which served as accommodation for Dawes when he stayed there overnight to make evening observations, was used to store the rest of the instruments. It also had a shutter in the roof. A tent-observatory was a common portable building for eighteenth century scientific travellers; indeed, the English portable observatory Dawes was known to have used at Rio on the First Fleet voyage that brought him to Sydney was probably cannibalised for this primitive pioneer structure. The location of Dawes‟ observatory on the firm rock bed at the northern end of Sydney Cove was more impressive. It is now called Dawes Point after our pioneer scientist, but Dawes himself more properly called it „Point Maskelyne‟, after the Astronomer Royal.
