Download or read book Ten Journeys to Cameron s Farm written by Cameron Hazlehurst and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘In the whole history of government in Australia, this was the most devastating tragedy.’ Three decades after what he called ‘a dreadful air crash, almost within sight of my windows’ Robert Menzies wrote ‘I shall never forget that terrible hour; I felt that for me the end of the world had come…’ Ten Journeys to Cameron’s Farm tells the lives of the ten men who perished in Duncan Cameron’s Canberra property on 13 August 1940: three Cabinet ministers, the Chief of the General Staff, two senior staff members, and the RAAF crew of four. The inquiries into the accident, and the aftermath for the Air Force, government, and bereaved families are examined. Controversial allegations are probed: did the pilot F/Lt Bob Hitchcock cause the crash or was the Minister for Air Jim Fairbairn at the controls? ‘Cameron Hazlehurst is a story-teller, one of the all-too rare breed who can write scholarly works which speak to a wider audience. In the most substantial, original, and authoritative account of the Canberra aircraft accident of August 1940 he provides unique insights into a critical, poignant moment in Australian history. Hazlehurst’s account is touched with irony and quirks, set within a framework of political, social, and military history, distinctions of class, education, and rank, and the machinations of parliamentary and service politics and of the ‘official mind’. The research is meticulous and wide-ranging, the analysis is always balanced, and the writing at once skilful and compelling. This is a work of an exceptional historian.’ (Ian Hancock, author of Nick Greiner: A Political Biography, John Gorton: He Did It His Way, and National and Permanent? The Federal Organisation of the Liberal Party of Australia) ‘Ten Journeys to Cameron’s Farm is a monumental work of historical research pegged on a single, lethal moment at the apex of government at an extraordinarily sensitive time in Australia’s history. The book embodies top drawer scholarship, deep sensitivity to antipodean class structures and sensibilities, and a nuanced understanding of both democratic and bureaucratic politics.’ (Christine Wallace, author of Germaine Greer Untamed Shrew andThe Private Don: the man behind the legend of Don Bradman)

Download or read book Food Systems Evaluation Methods and Sustainability Assessment written by Bradley George Ridoutt and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food system is responsible for some of society’s most pressing sustainability challenges. Diets are currently unsustainable in many countries as evidenced by the growing burden of malnutrition, degradation of natural resources, contributions to climate change, and unaffordability of healthy diets. There is an urgent need to address the gaps in understanding of what a sustainable food system means across varying populations and geographies and how we can better measure these systems, while identifying how dietary choices impact on human health and the environment. However, decision makers and experts are questioning whether it is possible to meet environmental, social, and economic goals simultaneously, or whether trade-offs are necessary. Thus, the development of better measurements and indicators to clearly understand the benefits and considerations for healthy and sustainable food systems is needed.

Download or read book Disaster in the Dandenongs written by Macarthur Job and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 25th of October, 1938, Australia's worst pre-war aviation disaster occurred on the western face of Mount Dandenong. The Douglas DC-2 Kyeema, operated by Australian National Airways (ANA), was en-route from Adelaide to Melbourne when it overshot Essendon Airport by some 20 miles as it descended through thick cloud, crashing into the side of Mount Dandenong, killing all 18 occupants. The accident, which still ranks as the sixth worst in Australia's commercial aviation history, electrified the Nation. The subsequent Inquiry found that an inadequate radio system and inexplicable, gross navigational errors by the experienced crew caused the disaster. The findings triggered the beginning of air traffic control as we now know it in Australia, and the eventual founding of the Department of Civil Aviation.
Download or read book Crossing the Great Divide written by Rod Moss and published by Wild Dingo Press. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoirs and paintings that Rod Moss has produced during the last 35 years are unique in their dramatisation of the lives of his trusting Aboriginal family and have been critically acclaimed nationally and internationally. In his third memoir we follow the nurturing of the curiosity and openness that has fastened him to the luminous power of Central Australia and its First Peoples. From the foothills of Victoria's Dandenong Ranges and his city-based art education, we are taken to the Mallee where he first embraces the climate most conducive to his wellbeing. He returns to the city and is invited to participate in Melbourne's dynamic experimental small school movement. A year is spent in the USA studying the teachings of Armenian philosopher George Gurdjieff in a rural community ‘Shenandoah’ farm setting. Travel widens Moss’ perceptions and continues to pique his curiosity. A trip to a Pilbra Indigenous community opens the door on the Aboriginal world that he will spend the rest of his life coming to terms with. In Crossing the Great Divide, Rod Moss shows the reader through his formative years in 1950s and 1960s Victoria, and through young adulthood in the 1970s. He weaves his experiences together with sensitivity and a painterly eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story has been influenced by real life escapades involving the author's two Rag Doll cats, Mr. Butters and Mr. Kitty, SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED and Alex the plumber. Mr. Butters is the elder of the two and he is sleek, majestic and fastidious in nature, whereas Mr. Kitty is rotund, greedy, scruffy and suffers occasionally from an ailment described by SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED as 'CHOCBOT''. These feline companions love gourmet dining and are delighted when SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED is discomforted as a result of their antics. The story invites the reader to share their dreams, fantasies and adventures involving Harold the Huntsman spider, Ernest the most enormous Earwig, the feral cat, and the Tradesmen from Hell. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED engages in a never-ending battle with both Kits to sleep undisturbed, but is frequently outwitted by the relentless Mr. Butters in his endeavours to establish himself as the head of the household, whilst Mr. Kitty is preoccupied, in his dreams at least, in maintaining his role as the 'King of the Cool Kits' and ultimately King of the World.
