Book excerpt: An engaging, entertaining read set in 1930s Sydney against the backdrop of the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge...evocatively drawn.' - Books+Publishing Broke and hopeless in 1929, Yo O'Keenan flees the violence of his home in Chippendale, and by some miracle charms his way into a job on the Harbour Bridge, a new start for himself and his little sister, Agnes. Meanwhile, on the north side of Sydney, in her cluttered cottage at Lavender Bay, a young and ambitious costumier, Olivia Greene, works on her latest millinery creations, dreaming of taking her colours to Paris, London, New York. A random encounter in the Botanic Gardens sparks a powerful attraction, even as the gulf between this pair seems wider than the blue mile of harbour that divides the city. By mid-1932, the construction of the Bridge is complete, but Sydney is in chaos, on the brink of civil war, as the Great Depression begins to bite - hard. And then Yo disappears. Against the glittering backdrop of Sydney Harbour, The Blue Mile tells of the cruelties of poverty, the wild gamble a city took to build a wonder of the world, and the risks the truly brave will take for a chance at life.
Download or read book Sirius written by John Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Sirius, one of Australia and Sydney's best known brutalist buildings and social housing successes. Through numerous battles and green bans, confrontation, arrests in the 1970s, The Rocks Green Ban was lifted for Sirius to be built for local residents who were displaced by The Rocks redevelopment. It has been a rare example of successful public housing since it opened in 1980. By 2015, the NSW Liberal government wants the building and its residents gone. Protection of the building was rejected by its own NSW Heritage Council recommendation to list Sirius on the State Register. This book celebrates Sirius the place, and its history and people. It is one of the few architectural social history books tracking the fight to save the building throughout 2016-2017 and discusses the many long time residents, advocates and the original design by Tao Gofers.
