  • Archery Rounds and Archer Classification
    Archery Rounds and Archer Classification Archer Classification Archery Australia recognises several levels of Archer Classification. 3rd Class Archer 2nd Class Archer 1st Class Archer Master Bowman Grand Master Bowman As experience is gained, archers progress through those levels from 3rd class Archer to Grand Master Bowman Progress through the classification levels is earned by shooting ‘Rounds’ (see below). The total score shot in any particular round translates (via a set of tables) into a particular rating. The rating is used to grade your score relative to a particular classification level. By shooting 3 rounds that are ‘rated’ at a classification level above your current level, you are deemed to have achieved that new level. Badges are awarded in recognition of your achievement. Archery Rounds Shooting in competition or for personal advancement through levels of archer classification is done in ‘rounds’. A ‘round’ is defined as a known combination of target size, distance and arrow counts. Rounds are usually identified by name. Below is a table of official Archery Australia rounds showing their associated arrow count, target size and distance combinations together with their total maximum score. Indoor rounds are shot at distances of 18m or 25m whilst outdoor distances range from 30m to 90m. A round is divided into ends. An archer shoots either 3 or 6 arrows per end, depending on the type of round. After each end, arrows are scored and retrieved. For example, the FITA 18 indoor round consists of 20 ends of 3 arrows while the outdoor round HOBART consists of 15 ends of 6 arrows with 30 arrows (5 ends) being shot at each of 3 different distances (90m, 70m and 50m respectively).

The latter was compiled in a relatively short 18 month period between 1988 and 1989, and since then a great deal of new material has been discovered, with more undoubtedly yet to be unearthed of relevance to this study. As a result the present document contains material of a similar nature to that in the 1990 work, with an added emphasis on items from the period 1850 to 1900. Also included are bibliographic references which bring up to date those contained in the previous work. All told, some 1000 pages of primary sources and references to published works are now available on the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900, though an attempt has been made to include items from this century which outline some of the history of the central Illawarra and Shoalhaven Aboriginal communities.

  • 1900'S Melbourne
    Melbourne Cup History The first ever running of the Melbourne Cup was on a Thursday in 1861 and assembled a field of seventeen who raced for just 710 gold sovereigns (£710) cash and a gold watch in front of a crowd of around 4000 people. The Etienne De Mestre trained Archer was the first winner of what would go on to become Australia's most famous race and was ridden by John Cutts and ran a time of 3.52.00. History has it that Archer travelled by the steamboat 'City of Melbourne' along with his trainer to take his place in the Melbourne Cup. To prove it wasn't a fluke, Archer won the race the following year in front of 7000 people to win 810 gold sovereigns (£810) cash and a gold watch, to become the first dual winner of the Melbourne Cup. Melbourne Cup very early history – 1800’s In 1875 the Melbourne Cup moved to a Tuesday and the following year three-year-old filly Briseis created a slice of history when she won the Victoria Derby, Melbourne Cup and VRC Oaks over a period of six days. Melbourne Cup Day was declared a public holiday in Victoria in 1877 and just three years later a crowd of more than 100,000 attended Flemington for the first time on Cup day to witness the unbeaten Grand Flaneur take out the race that stops a nation. In 1890 a huge field of 39 horses assembled for the Melbourne Cup and grand galloper Carbine won the race in a then record time of 3.28.25, carrying 65.5 kilograms which was a record weight for the Melbourne Cup.

First run in 1861, the Melbourne Cup is regarded as Australia’s premier horse race and one of the world’s leading handicaps. Parametric tests of differences in means and a regression-based approach are used to test for the effect alongside conventional day-of-the-week (Tuesday) and month-of-the year (November) effects.

  • The Melbourne Cup the Race That Stops a Nation Contributed by Sarah Ward Melbourne Cup Day Is Fixed for the First Tuesday in November
    The Melbourne Cup The Race that Stops a Nation Contributed by Sarah Ward Melbourne Cup Day is fixed for the first Tuesday in November. The race is recognized as the greatest 3200 metre handicap horse-race in the world. It is held at Flemington, a Melbourne suburb which is called after a butcher who once lived there. Melbourne was relatively young having been discovered in 1833 and, at the height of the Cup's inception, was experiencing the Gold Rush with many people flocking to Melbourne, and subsequently Bendigo and Ballarat, in the hope of a life changing experience. The first Cup was run in 1861. This was the time of death of Burke and Wills, two of Australia's daring pioneers who were the first to track the harsh Australian terrain from North to South. It is recorded that the local community were in a state of mourning at this time and understandably the first Melbourne Cup was run under rather subdued circumstances. There were 17 starters and, paradoxically, the prize - apart from the money (170 pounds ) - was not a cup at all , but a hand - beaten gold watch . Archer, the Winning horse, had walked to Melbourne from its stable in Nowra, New South Wales , a distance of 500 miles (800km) The Cup, as we know it today, was first designed by Mr James Steeth in readiness for the 1919 Melbourne Cup. Today’s Emirates Melbourne Cup is a stunning 18 carat gold trophy valued at $80,000. Noted for its "Loving Cup" design, the trophy is one of the most identifiable sporting trophies anywhere in the world.

  • Schedule of Classified Roads and State and Regional Roads
    Schedule of Classified Roads and Unclassified Regional Roads Changes to this document are captured in ‘Recently Gazetted Changes’: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/business-industry/partners-suppliers/lgr/arrangements-councils/road-classification.html Summary Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is required under the Roads Act 1993 s163 (4) to keep a record of all classified roads. To satisfy this commitment, this document contains a record of the roads classified under sections 46, 47, 50 or 51 of the Roads Act 1993 that have a Legal Class of Highway, Main Road, Secondary Road or Tourist Road - as legally described by Declaration Order in the Government Gazette. To manage the extensive network of roads for which council is responsible under the Roads Act 1993, RMS in partnership with local government established an administrative framework of State, Regional, and Local Road categories. State Roads are managed and financed by RMS and Regional and Local Roads are managed and financed by councils. Regional Roads perform an intermediate function between the main arterial network of State Roads and council controlled Local Roads. Due to their network significance RMS provides financial assistance to councils for the management of their Regional Roads. The Regional Road category comprises two sub- categories: those Regional Roads that are classified pursuant to the Roads Act 1993, and those Regional Roads that are unclassified. For completeness, the Schedule includes unclassified Regional Roads. Local Roads are unclassified roads and therefore are not included in the Schedule. The recently introduced alpha-numeric route numbering (MAB) system used for wayfinding purposes in NSW does not directly relate to the legal classification of roads and has not been incorporated into this Schedule.
