Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictorial History Sutherland Shireby Pauline Curby is a new book in the famous series of pictorial histories which cover the suburbs of Sydney. The Shire is a beautiful and distinctive part of Sydney, surrounded by waterways and beaches. People have lived here in splendid isolation fishing, swimming, sailing, boating and surfing. From the Dharawal people to the wealthy white landowners the beauty and plentitude the land has offered has been Sydney¿s secret. Wildflowers abounded and tall timber was cut to make way for small market gardens and dairies. Until the 1960s you could still buy fresh goats milk and honey over your fence and people were walking down to their local weir, creek or river to swim. Cronulla was the jewel in the crown of the Shire. Its scenic setting and access by train, tram or car to the beaches and Port Hacking was a drawcard for holidaymakers from the city and the St George district particularly after the building of the Tom Uglys Bridge. Como opened to crowds of tourists with the opening of the train line and pleasure grounds abounded on the Georges and Port Hacking Rivers and people came to see the new National Park. Taren Point Bridge opened the way for further suburban growth and today Sutherland Shire is one of the biggest local government areas in Sydney. Illustrated with 200 historic black and white photographs this lovely book describes the development and maturing of the Shire from its earliest white settlement through to the extensive settlement we know today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heartwarming and hilarious bestseller by the author of treasured novels, The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village and The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home The Marjorie Marshall Memorial Cafeteria has been serving refreshments and raising money at the hospital for over fifty years, long after anybody can remember who Marjorie Marshall actually was. Staffed by successive generations of dedicated volunteers, the beloved cafeteria is known as much for offering a kind word and sympathetic ear (and often unsolicited life advice) as for its tea and buns. Stalwart Hilary has worked her way up through the ranks to Manageress; Joy has been late every day since she started as the cafeteria's newest recruit. She doesn't take her role as 'the intern' quite as seriously as Hilary would like but there's no doubt she brings a welcome pop of personality. Seventeen-year-old Chloe, the daughter of two successful surgeons, is volunteering during the school holidays because her mother thinks it will look good on her CV. Chloe is at first bewildered by the two older women but soon realises they have a lot in common, not least that each bears a secret pain. When they discover the cafeteria is under threat of closure, this unlikely trio must band together to save it. 'Takes readers on a sweet journey.

Download or read book Georges River Blues written by Heather Goodall and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lower Georges River, on Dharawal and Dharug lands, was a place of fishing grounds, swimming holes and picnics in the early twentieth century. But this all changed after World War II, when rapidly expanding industry and increasing population fell heaviest on this river, polluting its waters and destroying its bush. Local people campaigned to defend their river. They battled municipal councils, who were themselves struggling against an explosion of garbage as population and economy changed. In these blues (an Australian term for conflict), it was mangroves and swamps that became the focus of the fight. Mangroves were expanding because of increasing pollution and early climate change. Councils wanted to solve their garbage problems by bulldozing mangroves and bushland, dumping garbage and, eventually, building playing fields. So they attacked mangroves as useless swamps that harboured disease. Residents defended mangroves by mobilising ecological science to show that these plants nurtured immature fish and protected the river’s health. These suburban resident action campaigns have been ignored by histories of the Australian environmental movement, which have instead focused on campaigns to save distant ‘wilderness’ or inner-city built environments. The Georges River environmental conflicts may have been less theatrical, but they were fought out just as bitterly. And local Georges River campaigners – men, women and often children – were just as tenacious. They struggled to ‘keep bushland in our suburbs’, laying the foundation for today’s widespread urban environmental consciousness. Cover: Ruth Staples was a courageous Georges River campaigner who lived all her life around Lime Kiln Bay at Oatley West. She kept on fighting to regenerate the river until her death, aged 90, in 2020.
