    Nyungar Tradition

    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI). Nyungar Tradition by Lois Tilbrook is based on the South West Aboriginal Studies project (SWAS) - in which photographs have been assembled, not only from mission and government sources but also, importantly in Part ll, from the families. Though some of these are studio shots, many are amateur snapshots. The main purpose of the project was to link the photographs to the genealogical trees of several families in the area, including but not limited to Hansen, Adams, Garlett, Bennell and McGuire, enhancing their value as visual documents. The AIATSIS Library acknowledges there are varying opinions on the information in this book. An alternative higher resolution electronic version of this book (PDF, 45.5Mb) is available from the following link. Please note the very large file size. http://www1.aiatsis.gov.au/exhibitions/e_access/book/m0022954/m0022954_a.pdf Consult the following resources for more information: Search the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI) : ABI contains an extensive index of persons mentioned in Nyungar tradition.

    PORTFOLIO of EXPERTISE Bus Services Connecting New Lines, Together

    PORTFOLIO OF EXPERTISE Bus services Connecting new lines, together. Drawing from our long experience as a multimodal operator, we look forward to assisting you with the construction and optimization of your mobility systems and services. Our ambition is to develop with you, in a genuine spirit of partnership, customized, safe, effective and responsible transit solutions that are adapted to your needs and constraints and closely in tune with customer expectations. The mobility of the future will be personalized, autonomous, connected and electric. This is our firm belief. Innovation is at the heart of our approach, in order to constantly improve the performance of public transportation services and make the promise of “new mobilities” a reality, for everyone. As well as uncompromising safety, which is our credo, our overriding concern is the satisfaction of our customers and the quality of their experience. Every team member in the group engages on a daily basis to meet these challenges and implement solutions both for today and for the future. Thierry Mallet Chief Executive Officer Renaissance for bus services There was once a feeling that the common transit bus had become a ‘lost’ or ‘secondary’ mode of public transit trailing behind metro and light rail systems, which often took the spotlight. The perception has changed in recent years, supported by public leaders with ambition of multi- and intermodal networks in which buses truly complement, cultivate and support mobility. Re-inventing bUSES Today’s modern bus concept is no longer that of a stagnant spider-web network of oversized, loud and loitering To achieve these goals for transit authorities and “diesel guzzlers”, but rather a dynamic and integrated customers, continuous service design and evaluation of set of services, supported by interactive communication network capacity is necessary to meet people’s evolving technologies, attractive and eye-catching branding and expectations and behaviors.
