  • 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.

  • Department of Motor Transport, 1975-76
    ANNUAL REPORT COMMISSIONER FOR MOTOR TRANSPORT THE FRONT COVER depicts 10 years of building activity associated with the Department's policy of decentralisation which began in July, 1966. At that time the State was divided into six administrative regions to decentralise the Department's activities. Thirty-two new premises, including regional and district offices, motor registries and lorry checking stations, have been built since 1966 to improve service to the public and working conditions for staff. Pictured on the front cover are some of the buildings con­ structed during the 10 year period 1966-76. THE MAP BELOW shows the location of Departmental Offices. Those built since 1966 are ticked. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE FRONTISPIECE show the new District Office and Motor Registry at Cammeray which opened for business on 19th January, 1976. Primarily the building will serve the public of the rapidly expanding lower north shore area. The of­ fice is fully air-conditioned and has large, attractively furnished areas for the public and staff and was sited on the block to provide maximum parking space in the paved yard. The building's comparatively low roof-line was designed so as not to obstruct the views of nearby residents. NEW SOUTH WALES The Hon. P.F. Cox. M.L.A.. Minister for Transport and Highways.
