These nine women and two men are beneficiaries of Gordon Samstag’s vision to level the playing field for Australian artists, whom he knew to be as good as their international peers, but restricted unreasonably by geographic isolation. Consequently, this third group of Samstag Scholars will soon be embarking on lengthy and enviable creative adventures in New York, Utrecht, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Glasgow and Dundee. Following the good news of their award, the preparations which “Samstagers” must make to secure their overseas study opportunity are, invariably, complex and taxing. For example, while under no obligation to enrol in formal degree courses, their project must nevertheless demonstrate a full commitment to studio practice under the bona fides of an appropriate institution. Negotiations for acceptance into a preferred institution can be arduous and slow. While concerned primarily with artistic development and enrichment, the Samstag experience is thus distinguished also by endeavour and Matthÿs GERBER self-reliance.

    RAAF’s 90th Birthday The Royal Australian Air Force marked its 90th birthday with an annual commemorative service in Canberra and the addition of Battle Honours to the RAAF Memorial while there was a display of historic planes at the service's birthplace in Victoria. The Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Mark Binskin AO used his address as an opportunity to re- member those that gave their lives in service to Australia over the last 90 years. The RAAF was formed on March 31, 1921, with Point Cook its sole base. "We have aeroplanes that date back to the 1930s," Air Commodore Ron Luke said at Point Cook. "When you look at the difference in technology between those aircraft and what we're operating today with Super Hornets and C-17 transports, it's really quite amazing”. The general public gathered to see the Roulette acrobat team perform and more than 60 aeroplanes, including Spitfires and Mustangs and Hudson bombers, 1930s vintage airliners, DC- 3s, plus an assortment of other aero- planes. While this was happening F/A-18 jets Air Marshal Mark Binskin AO lays a wreath at flew over Canberra, as people gathered the Canberra Ceremony at Anzac Parade to mark the anniver- sary. More squadrons have been formally added to the RAAF memorial, recognising those who served in the Philippines in 1944, the Malayan Peninsular and Ubon Thailand in the 1960s, and more recently East Timor and Iraq. Retired RAAF Squadron Leader Denis Macneall said he has fond memo- ries as a member of 75 Squadron in Malaysia.

Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 24 0 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bill Doyle This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Mount Remarkable National Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Mount Remarkable National Park is considered a major conservation asset and has long been cherished by South Australians. The park is renowned for its rugged ranges, quartzite ridges and gorges, dense vegetation and diverse habitats supporting several species of conservation significance. The spectacular beauty of the reserve makes it a popular attraction for overnight and day visitors, who frequent the park to enjoy bushwalking, camping, picnicking and sightseeing. The plan defines a series of objectives and actions for the future management and use of this significant reserve, and facilitates the development and implementation of high quality conservation programs and visitor facility improvements. Many people have contributed to the development of this plan of management. Their interest and helpful suggestions are gratefully acknowledged. I now formally adopt the plan of management for Mount Remarkable National Park under the provisions of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. I encourage you to read the plan and enjoy this exceptional park.
