    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc March-April 2016 ISSUE 43 ISSN 2203-4366 Photographers – through their eyes There is a particular group of people to whom we, as people/organisations interested in our history, owe a huge dept. That is - the photographer. Be it the official or professional or private photographer, they provide us with pictures of both ourselves and our nation, at specific points in time. Their work is a historical record, showing the meaning and intensity of life at the time, and the current social dynamics that accompany them. The Macquarie Dictionary (1995) defines a photographer as a person who carries out “the art of producing images of objects on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light or of other forms of radiant energy, as x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays etc”. Obviously today in a more modern definition, this would be expanded to include digital experiences. However, for the recording of historical subjects, this former definition would ring true. Many photographers in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to celebrate the communities of people who work to lay the foundations of the country, to record specific events, covering both individual stories, and town and rural life. Incline, Kembla Coal, King Katoomba clouds, Phillips Chinese wool wasking, Kerry When we look at a photo, what are we looking at? Many photos bring us back again and again, and we see something different every time. The photographer may have sought to depict a particular event, person, but inadvertently has recorded a variety of other material, such as fashions and tools, landscapes and buildings, cultures and social customs, techniques and trades.

CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

  • Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch)
    THE LIVING MURRAY Information Paper No. 10 IPTLM0010 Health of the River Murray Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch) Contents Environmental assets within the river zone Current condition of environmental assets Reasons why some environmental assets have declined in value What can be done to restore environmental values? Existing environmental flows initiatives The system-wide perspective References Introductory Note Please note: The contents of this publication do not purport to represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. The intention of this paper is to inform discussion for the improvement of the management of the Basin’s natural resources. 2 Environmental assets within the river zone The lower Darling River system is located at the downstream end of the River Murray system in NSW and is marked by Wentworth to the south and Menindee to the north. It encompasses the Menindee Lakes system, the Darling River below Menindee and the Great Anabranch of the Darling River (referred to hereafter as the Darling Anabranch) and associated lakes. These are iconic riverine and lake systems within the Murray-Darling Basin. In addition, a vital tributary and operating system feeds the lower River Murray. The climate of the area is semi-arid with an annual average rainfall of 200 mm at Menindee (Auld and Denham 2001) and a high potential annual evaporation of 2,335 mm (Westbrooke et al. 2001). It is hot in summer (5–46oC) and mild to cold in winter (-5–26oC). In particular, the lower Darling River system is characterised by clusters of large floodplain lakes, 103 to 15,900 ha in size, located at Menindee and along the Darling Anabranch.

  • Bridge Types in NSW Historical Overviews 2006

CONTENTS Section Page 1. Masonry Bridges 1 2. Timber Beam Bridges 12 3. Timber Truss Bridges 25 4. Pre-1930 Metal Bridges 57 5. Concrete Beam Bridges 75 6. Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).
