  • 2010 ANZCCART Conference “Ethics in a Changing Environment”
    2010 ANZCCART Conference “Ethics in a Changing Environment” Tuesday 20th – Thursday 22nd July Wrest Point Conference Centre Hobart, Tasmania Welcome to the 2010 ANZCCART Conference Hobart – as seen from the Eastern Shore of the Derwent (Wrest Point at Left hand edge) Welcome to Hobart – Australia’s second oldest city and the Capital of Tasmania. Hobart was originally founded in 1803 as a penal colony and now is home to approximately 250,000 people. Geographically, Hobart is Australia’s most Southern Capital city and arguably our most attractive with Mount Wellington (1,271 M) classically forming the backdrop and the Derwent River in the foreground of many photographs like the one above. The Derwent River is often thought of by Australians as the end of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, but it is also one of Australia’s great rivers with a mean flow rate of 90 cubic metres of water per second. The river originates from Lake St Claire in the central highlands and flows over 187 km to New Norfolk. From this point on (another 52 km) is the estuary portion of the river that extends to the sea and offers one of Australia’s finest deep water shipping ports. Hobart is internationally recognized as a major gateway to Antarctica and is also the home of The Australian Antarctic Division. It is also home to a number of internationally recognized brands such as Cascade Breweries, Cadbury Chocolates and Incat high speed catamarans. It is surrounded by excellent wineries particularly renowned for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines and is home to a working distillery.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 10 April 2008] p2216c-2224a Mr Tony Simpson; Dr Janet Woollard; Dr Steve Thomas; Mr Eric Ripper; Mr Colin Barnett; Dr Graham Jacobs; Acting Speaker CASINO (BURSWOOD ISLAND) AGREEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2007 Second Reading Resumed from 9 April. MR A.J. SIMPSON (Serpentine-Jarrahdale) [11.50 am]: In continuing my contribution to the second reading debate on the Casino (Burswood Island) Agreement Amendment Bill 2007, I would like to set the record straight. Some members have referred to my anti-gambling stance. I am not anti-gambling, but I believe that we must take a role in protecting people from the ills of gambling. Last night after Parliament rose, I had the opportunity, along with the member for Alfred Cove, to visit Burswood Casino. We met with Michael Egan, Pam and Lauren. Pam is a social worker and Lauren is a psychologist and they work for the Burswood Casino. They took us through their responsible gambling program. It is a very good system. This bill is about increasing the funding that comes from Burswood Casino for the maintenance of the Swan River. I will provide members with some information on Australia’s casinos. Australia’s first casino opened in Tasmania in 1973. The opening of Wrest Point Hotel Casino on 10 February 1973 in Hobart marked the beginning of massive expansion of Australia’s gambling industry. The development of a casino was the subject of a referendum conducted before an act of Parliament was passed in 1968. The referendum proposal was successful by a slim majority, with 53 per cent of voters in favour of the development.

  • Seagulls on the Wing
    PART II Seagulls on the wing W. T. (Bill) WILLIAMS 1945-66 BRIAN LEWIS 1967-97 FOREWORD IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES an effort has been made to collate the records of the Sandy Bay Football Club from its inception, and renew acquaintances with all the great players who have worn the Club’s Blue and White Guernsey. Months of research have resulted in the compilation of this comprehensive record, and if perchance some name or names or facts have been omitted the writers offers their apologies. During the years of the Second World War and particularly 1942-43 seeds were sown for the introduction of district football in Hobart and sub- urbs. Many were sceptical of the success, but it was obvious that now was the time to implement the scheme if district football was to succeed. The big barrier was the breaking of old club ties, but with the suspension of League football during the war years and the retirement of most of the pre- war champions the powers that be decided in favour of the new scheme. In 1945 we saw four district Clubs provide the football namely Sandy Bay, North Hobart, New Town and Hobart. In 1947 Clarence and New Norfolk were admitted to the competition. The teams remained unchanged until 1986 when East and North Launceston were admitted. In 1987 the Burnie Hawks and the Devonport Blues were also admitted to form a Statewide League. The number of teams remained the same until the 1994 season when Launceston was admitted, thus creating a bye. No further change occurred until 1997 when all teams handed in their licenses and unfortu- nately the rest is history.

  • Photographing Tasmania Steve Parish Nature Connect Photographing Tasmania - Steve Parish Nature Connect
    Photographing Tasmania Steve Parish Nature Connect Photographing Tasmania - Steve Parish Nature Connect Tasmania is Australia’s smallest state, so it is possible to plan a holiday that takes in many sights in a short time. However, it is best to take time to explore and appreciate, wander from the beaten track and discover little-known treasures side by side with more famous features. If you have seven days (but preferably thirty) and love to wander country roads in search of Australia’s natural and built environmental treasures, then this is your state. Above: Do not let overcast, misty and or rainy days lower your spirits. In these conditions head for the waterfalls and forests! Hobart, Tasmania’s capital and the second oldest capital in Australia, is a beautiful, prosperous city with a superb harbour situated at the mouth of the Derwent River. Second only to Hobart is Launceston, the northern “capital”, a picturesque city on the Tamar River. Photographing Tasmania - Steve Parish Nature Connect Photographing Tasmania - Steve Parish Nature Connect When you visit Tasmania, look for wilderness where every step brings discovery, historic ruins where the past comes vividly to life, delightful towns full of charming gardens, and a seacoast unequalled for scenery. Touring, camera at the ready, alone or with a friend, pausing in delightfully maintained heritage towns and villages, or wandering a rainforest trail to a magnificent waterfall presenting a stunning composition from every view, is as pleasant an occupation as I can imagine. If you want to get serious and backpack for a seven-day hike into the wild mountains, then Tasmania can provide that experience too.
