Book Synopsis Canberra Travel Guide by : Daniel Windsor
Download or read book Canberra Travel Guide written by Daniel Windsor and published by Interactive Media Licensing. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Canberra stands tall as the proud capital of Australia. Unlike its bustling counterparts Sydney and Melbourne, Canberra exudes a serene charm, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and political significance. As the epicenter of Australia's governance, Canberra plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation's identity and future. The inception of Canberra dates back to the early 20th century when Australia found itself in need of a capital independent of the dominant cities of Sydney and Melbourne. After much deliberation and debate, Canberra was chosen as the site for the new capital due to its central location and symbolic significance. Designed by American architect Walter Burley Griffin, Canberra was envisioned as a "city in the landscape," blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. One of Canberra's defining features is its harmonious coexistence of modernity and tradition. On one hand, the city boasts sleek skyscrapers, state-of-the-art institutions, and vibrant cultural precincts, reflecting its status as a dynamic cosmopolitan center. On the other hand, Canberra remains deeply rooted in tradition, with its iconic landmarks such as Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, and Lake Burley Griffin serving as enduring symbols of national pride and heritage. Beyond its urban facade, Canberra is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty. From the lush expanses of the National Arboretum to the rugged terrain of Namadgi National Park, the city offers a myriad of opportunities for outdoor exploration and adventure. Whether it's hiking along picturesque trails, picnicking by the shores of a tranquil lake, or marveling at the colorful blooms in Floriade, Canberra provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Above all, Canberra is synonymous with governance, serving as the seat of Australia's federal government. Parliament House, with its iconic flagpole towering over the city, serves as the focal point of political activity, where elected representatives convene to debate and legislate on behalf of the nation. Meanwhile, the various government departments and agencies scattered across the city contribute to Canberra's status as a hub of administrative power and decision-making. Canberra is much more than just a capital city, it's a living testament to Australia's past, present, and future. With its rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural wonders, Canberra invites visitors to embark on a journey of discovery and exploration. Whether you're strolling through its leafy boulevards, immersing yourself in its vibrant arts scene, or witnessing democracy in action, Canberra promises an experience like no other, an experience that captures the very essence of Australia's spirit and identity.

Book Synopsis Fears and Fantasies by : Kate Murphy
Download or read book Fears and Fantasies written by Kate Murphy and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fears and Fantasies: Modernity, Gender, and the Rural-Urban Divide explores the ways in which fantasies about returning to, or revitalising, rural life helped to define Western modernity in the early twentieth century. Scholarship addressing responses to modernity has focused on urban space and fears about the effects of city life; few studies have considered the 'rural' to be as critical as the 'urban' in understanding modernity. This book argues that the rural is just as significant a reference point as the urban in discourses about modernity. Using a rich Australian case study to illuminate broader international themes, it focuses on the role of gender in ideas about the rural-urban divide, showing how the country was held up against the 'unnatural' city as a space in which men were more 'masculine' and women more 'feminine'. Fears and Fantasies is an innovative and important contribution to scholarship in the fields of history and gender studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destructive bushfires are increasing in frequency and intensity around the world. For people living in fire prone areas there are no reliable guides about which plants have low flammability and which are frighteningly flammable. Safer Gardens is that guide, with over 500 plants assessed, based on fire research from around the world. Readers can look up a plant in the Plant Flammability Table to get an idea of its flammability then turn to the A–Z for more detailed information. The book contains advice about ways to create a more firesafe garden, including the need to carefully manage the use of mulch and hedges. This is citizen science, written by a gardener for other gardeners. Complex and potentially confusing science is made comprehensible and usable, to help you make your garden and hence your house safer.

Book Synopsis Farming on the Fringe by : Sarah James
Download or read book Farming on the Fringe written by Sarah James and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new perspective to debates on local food and urban sustainability presenting the long silenced voices of the small-scale farmers from the productive green fringe of Sydney’s sprawling urban jungle. Providing fresh food for the city and local employment, these culturally and linguistically diverse farmers contribute not only to Sydney’s globalizing demographic and cultural fabric, but also play a critical role in the city’s environmental sustainability. In the battle for urban space housing development threatens to turn these farmlands into sprawling suburbia. In thinking from and with the urban ‘fringe’, this book moves beyond the housing versus farming debate to present a vision for urban growth that is dynamic and alive to the needs of the 21st century city. In a unique bringing together of the twin forces shaping contemporary urbanism - environmental change and global population flows - the voices from the fringe demand to be heard in the debate on future urban food sustainability.
