The Goulburn CCP worker spoke at a seniors’ lunch arranged by Goul- burn Mulwaree Council HACC team each month. As well as learning about the rich cultural diversity of Marulan, the Goulburn CPP worker explained Goulburn Multicultural Centre’s role in providing information to communities on aged-care & respite options.

Many migrant families still live in the Cooma/Snowy region with seniors supported by Yvi Henderson through the Community Partners Program (CPP). Yvi came to Cooma as an exchange student from Switzerland and settled to raise a family and support people who have settled in the region. Yvi works closely with the Multicultural Activities Group in Cooma (MAGIC) group who meet regularly and organise a variety of multicultural activities including infor- mation sessions, community celebrations and the Cooma Multicultural Festival held in March each year. As the CPP Multicultural Aged-Care contact, Yvi works closely with seniors in Cooma and the Snowy region. Yvi organises regular infor- mation sessions to explain aged-care and respite options to seniors and their families. For women of CALD background who care for a relative at home, this is important as many are not aware of all the Australian aged-care and respite services available. As well as providing information sessions, activities such as gardening work- shops, Italian Pizza Making Day, International Lunches provide op- portunities to meet new people, form new friendship and overcome social isolation. ALL ALONE (Poem by Josipa Pusswald, born in Croatia, came to Cooma during the Snowy Scheme) In this big and different country, In winter everything is gray and gloomy I feel cold scared and so very lonely. I’m a stranger in this country, and I can’t speak their language Many People are walking up and down the street, but I feel so alone. Why oh why had I come here, why did I leave my old country? My family and friends and everyone that I love. Some time had passed and spring had come Blossoms are on the trees and flowers on the ground Richly like perfume smelling, I hear children yelling , they are playing. The sun is shining and birds are singing, everything around me is living And slowly my heart is warming, and I don’t feel alone any more I love this big different countr y.

    /- ALASKA COURT SYSTEM OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR No. 64-19 November 27, 1964' ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BULLETIN TO: All Recording Magistrates FROM: Administrative Director SUBJECT: Recording District Maps and Descriptions; Revised Supreme Court Order No. 12. A careful review of the geographical descriptions of all recording districts has now been completed by the engineer­ ing firm of Tryck, Nyman and Hayes, of Anchorage, and the Supreme Court has promulgated its Revised Supreme Court Order No. 12, effective December 1, 1964. This revision of Order No. 12, a copy of which is attached, replaces the original order and all prior amendments. The revision alters the wording or many of the descriptions to obtain greater clarity and more precise definition, but changes in the boundaries have been avoided as far as possible. Together with this revision there has been prepared a complete map portfolio in which the boundaries have been rendered onto U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of Alaska. The compiete portfolio includes a reproduction of Order No. 12, an index map of Alaska showing all recording districts, an index map and table showing the sheet numbers of all the detailed maps in the portfolio, and approximately 150 detailed maps of the state on which the recording districts' boundaries are shown. The map portfolio is expected to be ready for distribution approxi­ mately December 31, 1964. Complete map portfolios for the entire state Will be available for public reference at the public law libraries in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan and Nome. The complete portfolios are also being distributed to the offices of the Governor, Secretary or State, Commissioner of Administration, the University of Alaska, and the justices of the Supreme Court.

App. Sc. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 i KEYWORDS Beryllium-7, environment, environmental radioactivity, radionuclide, cosmogenic, cosmic- rays, atmosphere, deposition, soil, surface air, atmospheric transport, erosion, depositional flux, areal activity density, Brisbane, Southeast Queensland, Australia ii ABSTRACT Beryllium-7 is a cosmogenic radionuclide produced in the atmosphere through the spallation of nitrogen and oxygen nuclei by cosmic-ray-produced neutrons and protons. It is carried in the atmosphere attached to aerosols and is deposited on land and ocean surfaces by wet and dry deposition processes. Beryllium-7 decays by electron capture to lithium-7 and has a half-life of approximately 53 days. It is a potentially useful radionuclide for studying different natural processes. This thesis presents a collection of scientific papers on the occurrence of beryllium-7 in the natural environment, particularly in the Southeast Queensland region of Australia. It shows the results of experimental measurements and discusses their implications. Overall, this thesis contributes to advancing our understanding of the distribution and behaviour of beryllium-7 in the natural environment and provides a foundation for the development of nuclear techniques for the evaluation of environmental problems. iii LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Doering, C., Akber, R., Heijnis, H., 2006.
