THE SECOND NORWEGIAN POLAR EXPEDITION IN THE "FRAM," 1898-19022 By Captain OTTO SVERDRUP. UPON learning that Messrs. Axel Heiberg and Ringnes Brothers were willing to defray the costs of a Polar expedition under my guidance and direction, I petitioned the Norwegian Government to lend me the Arctic vessel Fram. The Government at once placed her at my service, while the Storthing generously granted 26,000 kroner (2 £1445)for the renovation of the ship and the construction of a new saloon forward, two working-cabins, and six berths for the officers and scientific staff. The Fram was a first-rate boat before these alterations were made. Prof. Nansen had asked Mr. Collin Archer to make her strong, and strong she unquestionably was. But now she was better than ever; and though she was not so severely tried on the second occasion as she was on the first, still she did not escape without two or three pretty severe tussles.

I beg to submit, for the information of the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, my Report on the working of the Aborigines Department for the year ended 30th June, 1900, and on the general con- dition of the Aborigines throughout the State, as far as civilisation exists. The amount voted by Parliament last session for the carrying on of my duties was £8,000, which was £1,000 less than the amount voted the previous year, and also £1,000 less than the amount estimated by me to be required. The results were that, in spite of every effort on my part to keep expenditure down, at the end of the year an excess vote of £2,099 had to be asked for. I may say that, with the exception of two months of the year, the accounts had been kept by the Colonial Secretary's Departmental Accountant, and in a great measure this prevented me from having that close grip of the outgoings that I had previously when every account was kept in the Department, and this may in some way explain this large excess.

INTRODUCTION The intent of this model is to provide a coordinated response to an incident in a timely and appropriate manner to enable restoration of normal operations. The primary stakeholders that may be involved in responding to and resolving incidents, events and threats are: The Airport owner; Airline Operators and/or appointed representatives; Police, Fire and rescue Critical Service providers: Council, Hydrant & Fuel; Airservices Australia; and Other government agencies as appropriate i.e. Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, etc. The model allows for any of the above agencies to request an IAT meeting. The Airport Security Contact Officer / Airport Compliance Coordinator would establish the IAT on behalf of the stakeholders. The IAT does not have to physically meet. It can be convened via teleconference if the matter is time critical or stakeholders are unable to attend in person. Following the IAT meeting the incident would continue to be managed by existing operational processes as appropriate.

Box 210029, Nanjing, China Received 24 November 2016; accepted in revised form 2 September 2017; available online 12 September 2017 Abstract The Canning Basin is the largest sedimentary basin in Western Australia and is located in one of the most cyclone prone regions of Australia. Despite its importance as a future resource, limited groundwater data is available for the Basin. The main aims of this paper are to provide a detailed understanding of the source of groundwater recharge, the chemical evolution 14 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and provide groundwater age estimations using radiocarbon ( CDIC). To do this we combine hydrochemical and isotopic techniques to investigate the type of precipitation that recharge the aquifer and identify 14 13 the carbon processes influencing CDIC, d CDIC, and [DIC]. This enables us to select an appropriate model for calculating radiocarbon ages in groundwater. The aquifer was found to be recharged by precipitation originating from tropical cyclones imparting lower average d2H and d18O values in groundwater (À56.9‰ and À7.87‰, respectively).

  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.
