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. -

GAIN Report Global Agriculture Information Network
Foreign Agricultural Service GAIN Report Global Agriculture Information Network Voluntary Report - public distribution Date: 12/10/2002 GAIN Report #AS2042 Australia Product Brief Confectionery Products 2002 Approved by: Andrew C. Burst U.S. Embassy Prepared by: Australian Centre for Retail Studies Report Highlights: Within the global confectionery market, Australia is ranked 11th for sugar confectionery consumption and 9th for chocolate. Nine out of ten people regularly consume confectionery from both the chocolate and sugar confectionery categories. Approximately 55 percent of confectionery sales are through supermarkets, with the remaining 45 percent sold through outlets such as milk-bars, convenience stores and specialty shops. New products are introduced fairly regularly to the Australian confectionery market; however highly innovative products are less common and this may be an area that offers opportunities for U.S. exporters to be successful in this market. In 2001, Australia was the 15th largest export market for U.S. confectionery products.

The magnitude of the differences is, in most cases, small and the provision of the data, even though slightly different, is to provide the U.S. exporter with the best possible picture of the Australian Confectionery Sector where omission may have provided less than that. -

Elsie moved to more spacious premises in Derwent Street, Glebe in 1975. However, its future and that of other refuges was uncertain following the dismissal of the Whitlam Labor government in 1975. -

The Musical Ministry of Lilian Frost, Pitt Street Congregational Church Organist, 1895-1949
Cultivating the Arts Page 263 CHAPTER 6 - THE MUSICAL MINISTRY OF LILIAN FROST, PITT STREET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ORGANIST, 1895-1949 Lilian Frost, Pitt Street Congregational Church organist from 1895 to 1949, died on 22 December 1953. Just over a year later, the Congregational Union of New South Wales pointed to the difficulty in acquiring quality organists to conduct 'public worship'. It discussed the importance of the role of the organist describing, in non-conformist manner, such instrumentalists as 'Ministers] of the Gospel'. During the latter half of Lilian Frost's outstanding musical service to the Church repeated references were made to her musical ministry. Both within and without the walls of the church she attracted a following. Conversely, she devoted much time and energy to the respective causes of both the secular and religious musical communities. Simultaneously seeking recognition as both a performer and minister, moving between the sacred and secular, from quiet Edwardian 'lady' to determined professional Lilian Frost's actions reveal a responsiveness to the forces of change that tie her story to those of other female cultural agents. The work of a variety of writers concerned with religious history, music history, cultural history and general Australian history reveal that a connection existed between women, music and conservative values. An Australian tendency to cling to nineteenth century British views of '[mjusic's social role', implied that through the promotion of 'high-art music' Australian women could act as guardians of both cultural values and national morality. Alternately, because music was linked to notions of cultivation and civilisation, religious observance, and conservative values, it was respectable and consequently suitable as a womanly occupation.
