This is where the research significance of the archaeology is explored and revealed, giving its meaning within a theoretical and social context. The main research questions that the archaeological evidence allows us to address are:1 1. Pre-European environment (Chapter 12) Evidence pertaining to the topography, geomorphology, vegetation etc. of this site prior to colonisation may contribute to research in the environmental history of the Sydney region, Aboriginal land management practices, historical ecology etc. 2. Remaking the landscape (Chapter 13) The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and plantings to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire.

Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers.

  • 13.0 Remaking the Landscape
    12 Chapter 13: Remaking the Landscape 13.0 Remaking the landscape 13.1 Research Question The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and planting to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire. Modifications to this site, its topography and vegetation, can therefore be interpreted within the theme of landscape as an expression of the ideology of colonialism. It is considered that this site is uniquely placed to address this research theme which would act as a meaningful interpretive framework for archaeological evidence relating to environmental and landscape features.1 In response to this research question evidence will be presented on how the Government Domain was transformed by the various occupants of First Government House, and the later Government House, during the first years of the colony. The intention behind the gathering and analysis of this evidence is to place the Stables building and the archaeological evidence from all phases of the landscape within a conceptual framework so that we can begin to unravel the meaning behind these major alterations.

  • Phillips, Michael
    Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17 2013, Hobart, Tas Measuring Bridge Characteristics to Predict their Response in Earthquakes Michael Phillips1 and Kevin McCue2 1. EPSO Seismic, PO Box 398, Coonabarabran, NSW 2357. Email: [email protected] 2. Adjunct Professor, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Qld 4701. Email: [email protected] Abstract During 2011 and 2012 we measured the response of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) to ambient vibration, and determined the natural frequencies and damping of various low-order resonance modes. These measurements were conducted using a simple triaxial MEMS acceleration sensor located at the mid-point of the road deck. The effectiveness of these measurements suggested that a full mapping of modal amplitudes along the road deck could be achieved by making many incremental measurements along the deck, then using software to integrate these data. To accommodate the briefer spot-measurements required, improved recording equipment was acquired, resulting in much improved data quality. Plotting the SHB deck motion data with 3D graphics nicely presents the modal amplitude characteristics of various low order modes, and this analysis technique was then applied to a more complex bridge structure, namely the road deck of Sydney’s Cahill Expressway Viaduct. Unlike the single span of the SHB, the Cahill Expressway Viaduct (CHE) dramatically changes its modal behavior along its length, and our analysis system highlights a short section of this elevated roadway that is seismically vulnerable. On the basis of these observations, the NSW Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) indicated that they will conduct an investigation into the structure at this location.

In 1994, Sailors with disabilities (SWD) was formed as a non-profit organization to offer people with disabilities the opportunity to go sailing. SWD is made up of a group of dedicated people, who love sailing and want to encourage others, no matter their abilities, to share their pleasure in the sport that is exhilarating, fun and challenging. SWD’s activities are aimed at helping people with a disability demonstrate their skills, dedication and commitment to achieving their goals. There are many levels of sailing that can be achieved and all sailors compete at the same level as the sea makes no allowances for anyone. Sailors with disabilities is committed to changing society's perception of people with disabilities, and the way they regard themselves by providing the tools to build confidence and self-esteem. Our vision is to take ownership of our circumstances and create vehicles to demonstrate what can be achieved. We are a not for profit organization which uses integrated sailing as a medium to deliver free programs to children with disability and disadvantaged youth, adults with disability and carers.

  • Saturday, 1St February, 1868 – the Sydney Morning Herald
    ROYAL SYDNEY YACHT SQUADRON “Read all about it!” The origins and early history of the Squadron – as reported in the Press of the day Part 15: A Royal visit. Saturday, 1st February, 1868 – The Sydney Morning Herald THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH IN NEW SOUTH WALES. HM Prince Alfred The Maritime greatness of the English, and of the sister nationalities of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales all long and happily associated together as a grand, prosperous, and "United Kingdom" - has, for ages past, been a theme of just pride to the whole British race, and either of admiration or of envy to the world at large. In the terrific and sanguinary strife of naval engagements, in the spirited and daring enterprises of international commerce, and in the yet nobler achievements of maritime discovery, it is not too much to say that British Fleets have, for centuries, borne upward and onward a Flag endeared to every man and woman of British origin, as the emblem of progress and of civilization, as the ensign of liberty and of truth, and as the banner of order and of religion. Specks, like the spots on the face of the sun, detected by such as are disposed, perhaps too curiously, to inquire into everything, may, at distant intervals, during a long career of glory, have been observed upon that conspicuous object - the flag that has floated triumphantly for a thousand years - but they have all proved to be but small, shifting, and evanescent, passing away without leaving a single stain behind them upon its broad and luminous expanse.

  • Railway.-The Railway, Via Bridge, Would Leave the Exist­ Ing Milson's Point Railway ·To the South of Bay Road Station
    1;03 Fort Macquarie to Kirribilli Point.-This route is about the same length from shore to shore as the Dawes' Point to Mil­ son's Point route, and offers the same advantages from the constructional standpoint. It would, however, necessitate the vehi(;ular traffic from the business side of the City passing through the already congested streets, whereas by the Dawes' Point to Milson's Point route the vehicular traffic could be taken direct to the western side' of the C~ty. Route Adopted.-The Dawes' Point to Milson's Point route was adopted, and Mr. David Hay, M.Inst.C.E., of the firm of Mott and Hay~ who subsequently came from London, at the request of the New South Wales Government, to r eport on the traffic problem of the City of Sydney, upheld the Author's choice of route. COMPARISON OF BRIDGE WI'I'H SUBWAYS .. A bridge from Dawes' Point to Milson 's Point will be com­ pared with the subways r ecommended by the Royal Commis­ sion on "Communication between Sydney and North Sydney." Plan o. 3 shows the location of the Subways, and Plan No. 13 shows the location o£ the bridge. Railway.-The railway, via bridge, would leave the exist­ ing Milson's Point railway ·to the south of Bay Road Station. and would connect with the proposed City Railway at Wyn­ yard Square Station. After junctioning with the City Rail­ way at Wynyard Square, 'passengers could reach the east ern side of the City, the Eastern Suburbs, the Show Ground, Cricket Ground, &c., without changing trains.
