    History Walk HENRY LAWSON’S already a highly urbanised nation by the time the colonies Federated in 1901. The ‘Legend of the NORTH SYDNEY Bush’ had great resonance in the city. A walking tour from McMahons And yet Lawson, too, spent much of his time in Point to Balls Head Sydney – and North Sydney. He lived in numerous dwellings between 1885, when he Distance: Approx. 3 Km stayed with Mrs Emma Brooks in East Crescent Approximate time: 2.5 hours Street, and 1920. You will pass by some of his Grading: High (there are residences on this walk. Other dwellings and several sets of places of significance include: Strathmere, Lord steep inclines and Street in 1899; rooms above the Coffee Palace stairs to negotiate) in Miller Street run by Mrs Isabel Byers who would care for Lawson for many years after this; Chaplin Cottage, Charles Street where Lawson’s second child Bertha was born in 1900; and Dind’s Hotel at the bottom of Alfred Street Milsons Point – the subject of the very funny poem ‘Dinds Hotel’ – … We hurried out of Campbell Street, and round to Dind’s hotel Where after two long beers apiece, we found the world “orright”… Curiously while Australia’s rural landscape was being well-interpreted and mythologised in poetry and prose, the communities around Sydney’s by-then famous Harbour were rarely explored in writing.

    MISREPORTING BY CENTENNIAL COAL… Nature Conservation Council (NCC) investigative team found a major coal company in NSW, Centennial Coal, massively underestimated carbon emissions from its mines for at least 10 years. Last month, Centennial Coal applied to open a new mine near Lithgow called Angus Place. The company claims its mine will generate 0.36 million tonnes of carbon pollution a year, but the true number is 10 million tonnes a year. The company under-reported its emissions by 97%! Digging deeper, NCC discovered this was not the first time Centennial Coal has made such a colossal “mistake”. Documents show the company has massively under-estimated carbon emissions in relation to several of its coal mines dating back to 2010. NCC passed this information on to the Sun Herald, and the findings were published on page 3 of their 10 May 2020 edition – see https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/we- stuffed-up-coal-miner-admits-to-submitting-wrong-emissions-data-20200508-p54r6i.html NCC also asked the NSW Planning Department to investigate and prosecute Centennial Coal if it has broken any laws. Coal mining and coal-fired power generation contribute to devastating bushfires, floods and heat waves like those we saw last summer. We must do everything we can to switch from dirty fossil fuels to clean wind, solar and storage to prevent the climate heating to dangerous levels. … AND THE TRUE IMPACT OF USE OF WATER BY COAL MINING INDUSTRY The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has released a new report that brings us closer to understanding the true impact the coal industry has on our water across this dry continent of ours.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.

  • Is There a Future for the Sydney Harbour Highline?
    Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? A comparative study of opportunities and limitations in re-vitalisation of elevated railway corridors. ALICJA BATOROWICZ August 2019 Diploma in Local Government Management University of Technology Sydney TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 Chapter 1. HIGH-LINES AS AN OPEN SPACE STRATEGY 5 Chapter 2. SYDNEY HARBOUR HIGHLINE: THE NEXT GREEN OPEN SPACE OF SYDNEY 9 Chapter 3. COMPARATIVE METHODOLOGY 15 Chapter 4. PARKS OF THE HIGH LINE 17 Promenade Plantée and Viaduc des Arts 18 New York City High Line 23 Analysis 28 Chapter 5. ANALYSIS 30 Conclusion 35 REFERNCES 36 pg. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objective of this dissertation is a research of existing examples of former urban railway corridors defined as high lines, successfully reclaimed and transformed to become a recreational open space. Through detailed analysis of two prime examples including Parisian Promenade Plantée and New York City High Line, the aim is to investigate and define the best model for the successful delivery of recently proposed Sydney Harbour HighLine. The aim is to establish a theory that adopted urban high lines are drivers behind economic growth, provide countless benefits to the society and work in harmony with the environment and cultural heritage. This dissertation seeks answers to the following questions: Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? Will the revitalisation of Lavender Bay railway line become an elevated challenge or an opportunity? This dissertation has been presented in five chapters. The first chapter begins with an exploration of the unsustainable rate of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment we live in.

  • Australian Orchid Name Index (16/2/2007)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (16/2/2007) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name.
