PRWEB) December 20, 2010 -- There are many bus tours from Sydney to popular destinations like the Blue Mountains, famous for its majestic views, Hunter Valley for wine tasting, Canberra for sightseeing or the South Coast for Whale and Dolphin watching cruises. There are also numerous ways of seeing Sydneys city sights, including the Eastern Beaches and Northern Beaches. Some tour businesses have even tried combining a wide range of uniquely Australian experiences into an all encompassing multi-day package. While cuddling a koala, taking photos of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge or visiting natural icons such as The Three Sisters at Katoomba and Uluru (Ayers Rock) are uniquely Australian endeavours, many tourists never get father than lounging at a Hotel on Bondi Beach, buying souvenir Kangaroos or listening to an aborigine play the Didgeridoo in Circular Quay. What opportunities are available to provide these vacationers with a greater understanding of the true Australian lifestyle?
Understand Down Under (UDU) now offers these "day tourists" bushwalks and nature escapes that include commentary on every aspect of the surrounding environment. These tours cover the way the local aborigines lived, to the plants they used, to the development of Gondwana and the origins of its amazing animals, and even touches on the geology which forms the ancient foundations of each eco-system. They offer a real journey of discovery where information is delivered in an accurate, holistic manner. The UDU guides job is to answer the hard questions and to correct misconceptions. All the while, UDU remembers that the tourists are on holiday after all! Theres nothing wrong with an excess of photography, laughing like a lunatic at a strange looking marsupial or turning up your nose to Vegemite.
So how are all of these elements combined to form a single day that delivers a true understanding of Australia, in a thoroughly relaxing manner? With memories so enjoyable that the photos go straight from the iPhone to Facebook?
For a one day tour that is a big task. Australia is a big country after all, and diverse too. Sydney doesnt represent New South Wales, and NSW is vastly different to Tasmania, the Northern Territory or the Great Barrier Reef. However, UDUs one day tour can highlight the themes that make all these areas unique, pointing out similarities such as the many Eucalypts or sandstone rocks, as well as the variations. For example, the Aborigines in the Sydney area didnt play didgeridoos. Many tourists crave a richer adventure and deeper understanding of the places they visit and UDU tours satisfy that craving.
In these days of Blackberry's, Google, YouTube and Twitter, people are more eager to share their experiences in real time. Travellers can now make decisions based on the advice and written accounts of friends and strangers. However, that also means you have to be lucky enough to have a friend that has discovered a hidden secret.
Visiting the Royal National Park on an UDU day tour is eco-tourism at its best. More than just recreation, with UDU the experience is more like being a celebrity in hiding. Away from the tourist crowds, UDU excursions explore the wilderness, secluded beaches as seen in movies, the rainforests that provide a feeling of health and well-being and the food and drinks that are new to most pallettes. An UDU tour is truly special. Money cant buy love, but a little of it can be traded for a once in a lifetime experience. Tourists from America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere in the world visiting Sydney are in luck. Australia's rich history, culture and land and legacy are waiting. Understand Down Under's new eco-tours to the Royal National Park can be booked at http://www.daytoursydney.com.au.
The term shopping was established in England well before the first European settlers arrived in Australia, and shops quickly appeared in the new colony even though there was little to sell. This account traces the history of shopping from the first sales held on board ships in Sydney Harbour to general stores and corner stores, then the rise of the grand department stores and the cheaper chain stores, to modern supermarkets and shopping centres.

im getting a man utd home kit for christmas but i have no idea whose name and number to get.
im leaning towards either nani or chicharito because they're young up-and-coming players
but then ive always wanted a classic like scholes or giggs, considering they're retiring soonish. (giggs this season)
and nani/chicharito could always leave.
i live in australia so bare in mind no one here really knows anything all about football
thankyouu for your opinions
I have to say Giggs! He's been THE Man U legend forever.
Yes, Nani and Chicharito are good, but since they're still young they won't leave in awhile. I mean, if you were them, why would YOU want to leave the most legendary club?
Plus, when Giggs does leave, they will probably stop making Giggs jersey's, so they'll get even more expensive!

100 Vegetables offers a veritable cornucopia of vegetables and stories from around the world, written by Weaver, a veggie connoisseur, gardener, and historian. Mixing history, culinary suggestions, and personal anecdotes, he introduces readers to unusual heirloom vegetables as well as to common favorites. Two-color throughout. Line drawings. From the Publisher A perfect leek from France. Flavorful zucchini from Italy. An infamous potato from Ireland, and a humble lentil from Ethiopia. 100 Vegetables offers a veritable cornucopia of vegetables and stories from around the world -- from Argentina to Zimbabwe, from Australia to the United States. William Woys Weaver -- veggie connoisseur, gardener, and historian -- guides us through a range of peppers, potatoes, peas, gourds, onions, tomatoes, greens, and a whole lot more. Not every carrot is the same. All beans aren't equal. Take the Petaluma Gold Rush bean, a rugged legume, grown for over 150 years and brought to California by an American whaler from Peru. Or the violet carrot, which the Greeks brought back from India following the conquests of Alexander the Great. Mixing history, culinary suggestions, practical information, and personal anecdotes, Weaver introduces us to unusual heirloom vegetables as well as to common favorites. He provides answers to general questions, such as the difference between a yam and a sweet potato, and presents lively portraits of one hundred vegetable varieties, which he's grown and harvested in his own kitchen garden. Organized alphabetically by common name, 100 Vegetables includes beautifully detailed drawings throughout and a helpful appendix of seed resources.

Excerpt: Salvator (1886-1909) was an American thoroughbred race horse considered by many to be one of the best during the latter half of the 19th Century. Bred by Daniel Swigert of Elmendorf Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, Salvator was sired by Prince Charlie out of Salina (by the great Lexington). (Salvator was the last great horse Swigart would breed; his best stallions had grown old and died as so often happened to stud farms.) On his sire's side he went back to the tremendous mare Pocahontas by Glencoe. On his dam's side, through Lexington, he carried the blood of Boston sired by Timoleon sired by Sir Archie sired by Diomed. Unusual for the times, the dark chestnut with a large white blaze was born in 1886 in California. James Ben Ali Haggin had purchased his dam, Salina, and shipped her to his 44,000-acre (180 km) Rancho Del Paso with Salvator in utero. Haggin had made his money in the California Gold Rush of 1849, so much of it he was suddenly one of the wealthiest men in America, and he used his new wealth to establish the biggest horse breeding operation in world history. Aside from the thousands of grazing acres he owned in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California, he headquartered at the Rancho del Paso near the present day city of Sacramento. He bought breeding horses from every state that bred fine thoroughbreds, as well as shipping them in from Ireland, Australia and England. Eventually he would buy Swigert's Elmendorf Farm and move his headquarters there and add to it until he held 8,700 acres (35 km) of prime bluegrass. (Over time, and through several owners, this property was eventually broken up into stud farms like Spendthrift Farm, Greentree Stud, and others.) In the fall of 1887, Haggin's eastern trainer, Matthew ... More:

Excerpt: Australian rules football, also known as Australian football and known colloquially as Aussie rules, was first organised in Victoria in 1859 when its first rules were written by the Melbourne Football Club. By 1900, it had become the most popular sport in Victoria. Tom WillsThe complex origins of the game go back to the early 1840s and are covered in The Origins of Australian rules football On 17 May 1859, the first rules for a local code of football were written during a meeting of four members of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC): Tom Wills, William Hammersley, J.B. Thompson and Thomas Smith. The meeting was held at the Parade Hotel on the site of the present MCG Hotel. Wills, a renowned cricketer, was secretary of the MCC at the time. He had attended Rugby School and was familiar with the argument between the proponents of allowing players to handle the ball (ie, Rugby football) and those who wanted players to use their feet only, the style later adopted by the Football Association. Below are the rules for Australian Rules Football, alleged to have been used by the Geelong Football Club in 1859. They were originally written down by hand. Graeme Atkinson, writing in Everything You Wanted Know About Australian Rules Football ... considers it likely that these Geelong rules were drawn up prior to the first rules of the Melbourne Football Club which were drafted on 17 May 1859.: 1.

(1) Pioneer Trade Unions in Australia. It is interesting to note that, before the great rush to the goldfields, the condition of the working classes in Australia was said to be fairly satisfactory. Indeed, a leader in the "Sydney Morning Herald" of that time claims that in no other country were they so well off. In contrast to this state of affairs in Australia, there were at this period serious disturbances, practically throughout Europe. These upheavals led many Continental rulers to the conclusion that it was wiser to allow turbulent spirits to depart from the country than to keep them. The new era of industry had completely unsettled the old relationships and awakened a spirit of restlessness. Finally, the recent application of steam to sea-going vessels had rendered a rapid decrease in the length of the voyage from Europe to Australia a practical certainty, and the discovery of gold in various parts of this continent led to a swarm of pilgrims from all parts of the world making for the diggings. Many, perhaps the majority of the arrivals, were totally unfitted for the actual work of mining. Some of these turned to other pursuits in the neighbourhood of the diggings, and in no small number of cases did far better than the diggers whose gold they received. The early development of Trade Unions in Australia coincided with the peaceful growth of important unions in England. Reference has already been made to the Operative Stonemasons' Society, established in Melbourne in 1850, but which temporarily collapsed when its members joined the rush to the gold diggings.

Which of the following does not characterize Australia and New Zealand's immigration policies today?
a. preference for white Britishers
b. preference for West Europeans and white Anglo-Americans
c. preference for nonwhites with special skills
d. preference for nonwhites of Asian extraction
This was a question on my girlfriend's Geography quiz that really had me stumped. It asks which does NOT characterize their immigration policies. Is there an obvious answer that I'm missing here?
The correct answer for both countries is:
e. All of the above.
Neither country gives any race or origin based preference to anyone. Visa applicants are accepted purely on the basis of their skills and the need in that country for those skills.
Immigration Nation Ep.1: White Australia Policy -Part 1/4
James Jupp, migration specialist, surveys changes in Australian immigration policy over the last thirty years since the significant shift away from the White Australia Policy. Jupp considers the history of Australian immigration in the twentieth century; the establishment of the "institutions" of multiculturalism and ethnicity and the waves of attacks on multiculturalism. He looks critically at th...
The history of the racist immigration policy that was Australia’s guiding light for the majority of the 20th century is examined in this work. Beginning with the policy’s introduction in 1901, this analysis traces the policy’s gradual transformation as successive governments reluctantly gave ground on barring non-Europeans from Australia. Originally intended to ensure an ethnic and ...
After once trying to keep its population white and predominantly British, Australia reversed course. Since 1947 it has absorbed five million immigrants from some 240 countries and places around the globe, with increasing numbers from Asian nations. In time, the country developed a multicultural outlook that encourages immigrants as well as indigenous people to retain their traditional cultures whi...

Two groups of refugees arrived in Australia in 1999: Kosovar refugees and Chinese boat people. One group was welcomed with open arms; the other was interned. Don McMaster analyses Australia's discriminatory policy towards the group that it has constructed as its 'other': the 'hordes from the north', the 'yellow peril'. He locates the earliest fear of 'Asians' in attitudes to Chinese goldminers in the 1850s. Half a century later this fear culminated in the White Australia policy, enshrined in the first legislation of the new federal Parliament. Thus the very beginnings of Australia's immigration policy were explicitly racist. Asylum Seekers is an indictment of present policies and a call to create a more humane response to people who desperately seek asylum.

Excerpt: Australian English, Persian, and other languages of Iran Iranian Australians includes those who are expatriates in exile as well as permanent immigrants and their descendants. Denied entry as early as 1948, Iranian Bahá'ís seeking to emigrate to Australia were classified as "Asiatic" by Australia's White Australia policy, and were denied entry and the policy largely remained in place until the 1960s and was lifted in 1973. In 1981 the Minister for Immigration announced a Special Humanitarian Assistance (SHP) Program for Iranians to seek refuge in Australia. See also Bahá'í Faith in Australia. Government agencies have observed closely the resettlement of Iranian refugees in Australia. One report observed many were professionally qualified and displayed a determination to re-establish themselves quickly; they tended to remain in migrant hostels for short periods; they had high expectations of successful settlement, and strong career ambitions. General Iranian immigration to Australia mostly occurred from 1980s to late 1990s. The Iranian-Australian community has produced a sizable number of individuals notable in many fields, including medicine, engineering, and business. The community expanded predominantly in the early 1980s in the wake of the Iranian Revolution and the fall of the former regime. Large concentrations of Iranian Australians live in the state of New South Wales, particularly around Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong. There are also large concentrations in Melbourne. Iranian communities in Australia also have varying religious populations among each city. Overall 55%

Excerpt: This article discusses Chinatowns in Oceania. Paifang at Sydney's Chinatown. Bilingualism in suburban Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, Australia. Chinatown is located above ground.Given its proximity to the Asian continent, Australia has had, and continues to witness, a massive immigration of Chinese and other Asians. As with Canada, the majority of ethnic Chinese immigrants to Australia are from Hong Kong. Chinese from various places of mainland China, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Southeast Asiaespecially Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, and Indonesiaand Latin America also settled Australia. Many early Chinese from the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China immigrated to Australia during the gold rush era. They were mainly Chinese of Taishan, Cantonese, Zhongshan, Hokkien, and Hakka origin. As in North America, the Chinese faced massive institutionalized discrimination, and Asian immigration was restricted by the White Australia Policy in the late 1880s. It was repealed by the 1970s under multiculturalist policies, which in turn ushered in a new wave of Asian immigration, particularly from Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China, and giving rise to several Australian Chinatown communities. Australia has numerous contemporary city and historic frontier and rural Chinatowns. The Chinatown, called Quartier Chinois, in French Polynesia is located in Papeete on Tahiti island. Its overseas Chinese also migrated to France. Starting in 1865, early Chinese migrants of the Hakka variety arrived in French Polynesia to work on the island cotton plantations. Many of these migrants were exploited. The ethnic Chinese population has been declining in French Polynesia. Hagåtña (Agaña) has a unique Chinatown in Guam, a United States territor... More:

Excerpt: ABBA was a Swedish pop music group formed in Stockholm in 1972, consisting of Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad , Björn Ulvaeus , Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog . Fältskog and Ulvaeus were a married couple, as were Lyngstad and Andersson during their career, although both couples later divorced. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, and they topped the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982.ABBA gained international popularity employing catchy song hooks , simple lyrics , sound effects (reverb , phasing ) and a Wall of Sound achieved by overdubbing the female singers' voices in multiple harmonies. As their popularity grew, they were sought after to tour Europe, Australia, and North America, drawing crowds of ardent fans, notably in Australia. Touring became a contentious issue, being particularly cumbersome for Fältskog, but they continued to release studio albums to widespread commercial success. At the height of their popularity, however, both relationships began suffering strain that led ultimately to the collapse of first the Ulvaeus-Fältskog marriage (in 1979) and then of the Andersson-Lyngstad marriage in 1981. In the late 1970s and early 1980s these relationship changes began manifesting in the group's music, as they produced more thoughtful,

Does Australian art have a history or is it just a series of belated footnotes to European and American artistic development? This compelling study argues that because of the objective conditions of a society transplanted to a remote and strange place, art acquired a subtly different meaning, as old resources were applied to new problems. 180 illus. 60 in color.
The field of creative arts and careers is gaining high momentum in the recent world in nearly all corners of the globe. In regard to this, people have learnt the importance and the potentiality of arts in their economic, social, education and cultural aspects. Despite the hot debate on the inclusion or the abolishment of arts in Australia schooling system, the filed of art will always remain to be vital. Creative arts encompass many forms of artistic expressions that attempt to convey a certain message to the target audience. These forms of art are designed by the artist who attempts to use symbolism or other forms of stylistic devices to arouse particular reactions from whom there are targeted.
Creative arts include music, drama, performing arts, film, and visual arts among others. Learning of creative arts would therefore include the learning of these particular forms, their history, creation, performance, analysis, critique and appreciation, among others. In Australia's schools based on the New South Wales, NSW, syllabus, creative arts are composed of visual arts, music, drama and dance. These are taught in schools starting from kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. They are also choices in higher levels of education such as universities.
PDHPE is an acronym for personal development, health and physical education. This form of education is aimed at developing a student as a whole person (board of studies, 2007).
In Australia, the PDHPE is designed to enhance the physical, mental, social and spiritual well being of students. It aims at growing in students a sense of appreciation of the importance of a healthy life in all meaning of the word (board of studies, 2000).
The debate surrounding the inclusion of the creative arts and PDHPE learning in the school curriculum in Australia
The inclusion of national curriculum in Australian schools also received mixed reactions. The introduction of the national curriculum was beneficial to the learners as well as the economy as a whole. In this case, the learners will be fed with a wider body of knowledge thus expand their careers. The arts will help in nurturing talents thus developing the nation both socially and economically. From another perspective, the inclusion of the national curriculum will boost national unity since interactions between cultures will be facilitated.
Nevertheless, there is also an amounting pressure in opposition to the inclusion of the national curriculum. Based on this, many have the opinion that it will only drain the country's economy without any results. This is on the perception that arts unlike the sciences have little or no importance.
The debate relating to the inclusion of creative arts in the school syllabus before and after its inclusion has been a fierce one. The proponents of teaching creative arts lobbied for its inclusion in the schools syllabus and were successful. Leading those fighting for the inclusion of creative arts in schools syllabus was an organization called the National Advocates for the Arts Education, NAAE. The body and others like minded groups and individuals achieved their goal when in December 2008 the "Melbourne Declaration" said that all students should receive an education on the arts (Letts, 2009). This body, which was a coming together of various bodies representing the art forms falling under the creative arts umbrella, had also managed to defeat an earlier attempt at excluding the arts from a list of key learning areas that the government had defined .The body even after campaigning vigorously for the inclusion of arts in the national curriculum, rejected the idea of lumping together of the art forms under the creative arts umbrella, instead insisting that the respective arts be taught individually.
After consensus was reached on the inclusion of the arts in schools, the next frontier in the battle was how schools would handle the five art forms namely drama, dance, music, visual arts and media. However, the NAAE was able to agree and recommended that during the years K to 10 of schooling, the schools will have to teach all the five art forms, while during secondary education years, the five art forms be offered as electives (Letts, 2009).
The competition for supremacy within the respective art forms is also another side to the debate on inclusion of creative arts in schools. There has been debate on whether any of the art forms should be given preferential treatment and be accorded more hours in schools. Those vouching for the respective art forms would of course make the case for more time for their discipline. Another aspect of the debate has been whether the teachers in schools should be specializing in their area of expertise or whether general teachers are able to effectively teach all the art forms. Those opposed to the inclusion of creative arts in the national curriculum point out that resource in some of the schools are not sufficient for effective teaching of creative arts. They argue that the framework that is being fronted by the proponents of the inclusion of creative arts in the NSW schools curriculum "will only result in the diminishing of intellectual rigor and potential for arts learning" (Clausen, 2010). There has been raging debate on whether all students should get fully qualified PDHPE teachers or not. In government schools from classes K to 6, general teachers are responsible for teaching PDHPE to their students while private ones can decide whether to employ specialists or not. There are those who believe that the government should ensure there are enough teachers qualified in PDHPE in government schools.

There was not any guerrilla group controlling a specific area of Angola because the Portuguese Armed Forces managed to overcome the insurgents. However, each guerrilla movement had its area of influence. Soon after the Carnation Revolution of April 1974 in Portugal, the new revolutionary government of Portugal began letting go of Portugal's African overseas provinces. Angola also achieved its independence from Portugal on November 11, 1975. After departure of the Portuguese military and the exodus of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Portuguese, th... More:

Excerpt: Australian rules football, also known as Australian football and known colloquially as Aussie rules, was first organised in Victoria in 1859 when its first rules were written by the Melbourne Football Club. By 1900, it had become the most popular sport in Victoria. Tom WillsThe complex origins of the game go back to the early 1840s and are covered in The Origins of Australian rules football On 17 May 1859, the first rules for a local code of football were written during a meeting of four members of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC): Tom Wills, William Hammersley, J.B. Thompson and Thomas Smith. The meeting was held at the Parade Hotel on the site of the present MCG Hotel. Wills, a renowned cricketer, was secretary of the MCC at the time. He had attended Rugby School and was familiar with the argument between the proponents of allowing players to handle the ball (ie, Rugby football) and those who wanted players to use their feet only, the style later adopted by the Football Association. Below are the rules for Australian Rules Football, alleged to have been used by the Geelong Football Club in 1859. They were originally written down by hand. Graeme Atkinson, writing in Everything You Wanted Know About Australian Rules Football ... considers it likely that these Geelong rules were drawn up prior to the first rules of the Melbourne Football Club which were drafted on 17 May 1859.: 1.

Excerpt: The Fourth National Government of New Zealand was the government of New Zealand from 2 November 1990 to 27 November 1999. Following in the footsteps of the previous Labour government, the fourth National government embarked on an extensive programme of spending cuts. This programme, popularly known as 'Ruthanasia' after Finance Minister Ruth Richardson, involved the reduction of social welfare benefits and the introduction of fees for healthcare and tertiary education. This was highly controversial, as was the retention of the superannuation surtax, a tax on old age pensions which National had promised to abolish. Also controversial, but in a different way, was the beginning of the Treaty settlement process. Extreme dissatisfaction with both National and Labour led to the reform of the electoral system: the introduction of proportional representation in the form of MMP. The first MMP election was held in 1996, and resulted in a coalition between National and New Zealand First. This dissolved in 1998, and the consequent cobbling together... More:

World War 2 - Was New Zealand at threat from a Japanese invasion/attack?
I recently read about the bombing of Darwin and a plan for the Japanese to invade Australia; but was New Zealand at threat?
I know it was too far away for Germany to reach but the Japanese could reach it.
New Zealand was not under threat from the Japanese they had their sights set on Australia. I am sure had they managed to invade Australia successfully then New Zealand would have been next.

Darwin was a battle Australia would rather forget. Yet the Japanese attack on 19 February 1942 was the first wartime assault on Australian soil. The Japanese struck with the same carrier-borne force that devastated Pearl Harbor only ten weeks earlier. There was a difference. More bombs fell on Darwin, more civilians were killed, and more ships were sunk. The raid led to the worst death toll from a...

Excerpt: The Kokoda Track campaign or Kokoda Trail campaign was part of the Pacific War of World War II. The campaign consisted of a series of battles fought from July to November 1942 between Japanese and Alliedprimarily Australianforces in what was then the Australian territory of Papua. The Kokoda Track itself is a single-file track starting just outside Port Moresby on the Coral Sea and (depending on definition) runs 60100 kilometres (3762 mi) through the Owen Stanley Ranges to Kokoda and the coastal lowlands beyond by the Solomon Sea. The track crosses some of the most rugged and isolated terrain in the world, reaches 2,250 metres (7,380 ft) at Mount Bellamy, and combines hot humid days with intensely cold nights, torrential rainfall and endemic tropical diseases such as malaria. The track is passable only on foot; this had extreme repercussions for logistics, the size of forces and the type of warfare that could be conducted. As part of their general strategy in the Pacific, the Japanese sought to capture Port Moresby and prevent the Allies from using Australia as a base of operations. The port cou... More:
The Japanese air raids on Darwin, Australia, on 19 February 1942 were the largest attacks ever mounted by a foreign power against Australia. They were also a significant action in the Pacific campaign of World War II and represented a psychological blow to the Australian population, several weeks after hostilities with Japan had begun. The raids were the first of almost 100 air raids against Australia during 1942-43. This event is often called the "Pearl Harbor of Australia". Although it was a less significant military target, a greater number of bombs were dropped on Darwin than were used in the attack on Pearl Harbor. As was the case at Pearl Harbor, the Australian town was unprepared, and although it came under attack from the air another 58 times in 1942 and 1943, the raids on 19 February were massive and devastating by comparison. Darwin had a population of about 2,000 at the time, the normal civilian population of about 5,000 having been reduced by evacuation. It was a strategically-placed naval port and airbase, and there were about 15,000 Allied soldiers in the area.

USS Pecos (AO-6) was laid down as Fuel Ship No. 18 on June 2, 1920 by the Navy Yard, Boston, Mass.; reclassified AO-6 on July 17, 1920; launched April 23, 1921; sponsored by Miss Anna S. Hubbard; and commissioned August 25, 1921. During the two decades before the United States entered World War II, Pecos carried fuel to ships of the fleet wherever needed, operating in both Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Pecos was in the Philippines supporting the ships of the Asiatic Fleet. She departed Cavite Navy Yard December 8, 1941 for Borneo and reached Balikpapan on the 14th. After filling up with oil and gasoline, the tanker pushed on to Makassar in Celebes, Netherlands East Indies where she refueled American warships fighting to slow the explosive advance of Japanese forces in the southwest Pacific. She departed Makassar for Darwin, Australia, December 22.

The USAT Meigs, a United States Army transport vessel (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the USS Meigs), was sunk in Darwin Harbour during the first Japanese air raid against the Australia mainland on 19 February 1942. Built San Pedro, California, in 1921 as the West Lewart, the Meigs had a steel hull, measured 12,568 Gross Tons (also cited as 11358 tons), 430.7 feet (140m) long, 54.3 feet (16m) beam and 26.2 feet draft. USAT Meigs was part of the Pensacola Convoy attempting to reinforce the Philippines during the early stages of World War II. As the largest vessel in Darwin Harbour she was frequently under air attack, and went down in flames after being struck by incendiary bombs. Two of its crew of sixty-six were killed.

Excerpt: Australian Standard Garratt The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was a Garratt steam locomotive designed in Australia during the Second World War , which was used on narrow gauge railway systems in Queensland , South Australia , Western Australia and Tasmania . Overview The 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) of 1943, a 4-8-2+2-8-4 locomotive was designed during the crisis days of World War II immediately following the bombing of Darwin. As an emergency measure the Commonwealth Land Transport Board commissioned a team of engineers led by WAGR CME Frederick Mills to design the new class of Garratt . The Australian government sought to obtain drawings and licenses from Beyer, Peacock and Company but this was denied. The class of 57 (out of a planned 65) locomotives was designed in 1942 and built from scratch within four months in 1943 and construction lasted until 1945. . The locomotives were produced by the Midland , Newport , and Islington Workshops along with Clyde Engineering . The locomotives delivered 34,521 lbf of tractive effort. A major flaw in the Australian design was the unflanged leading drivers which derailed on curves and points. Because of differences between the states, especially loading gauge, sharpness of curves and axle load, especially in Queensland, the design had to be a compromise, which went against the idea of having a standard design. At least one problem that made the locomotives unpopular with locomotive crews was the way the firebox door opened flat on the floor, maximizing heat
Weak Vietnamese Dong to attract more oversea travelers in Vietnam
The Vietnamese Dong has recently performed very weak against foreign currencies. According to online travel experts ActiveTravel Asia ( http://www.activetravel.asia ), this will be a great advantage to attract foreign travelers who are looking to travel abroad, especially like Australian. The Dong has achieved the lowest exchange rate with Australian and the US dollar and is also sitting in a position of weak against numerous other currencies. Information from Vietnam State Bank shows weak exchanges between currencies in China, Japanese, Euro, Australian and Britain and many other countries. Analysts at the Vietnam Commercial Banks expect the Dong to remain weak for a significant period of time.
Bobby Nguyen, MD of ActiveTravel Asia says: "Given the state of the global economy many people are understandably worried about money. That is why the weak of the Dong is encouraging as people will be able to travel Vietnam without spending too much. It is especially good to see low exchange rates with popular destinations like United State of America, Australia and Great Britain. Travelers have always had a strong attachment to travel and the strength of the dollar means they can continue to do so despite tough economic times."
Information from Vietnam Administration of Tourism shows that foreign travelers like Australia, United State of America, United Kingdom and other European countries are travelling into Vietnam more in recent months. The numbers in October show short-term arrival around 18%, especially during Hanoi's 1000 anniversary festival over a similar period last year. This follows a steady increase of arrival throughout September and October. In response to these figures Bobby concludes: "These statistics show that foreign travelers are once again travelling in significant numbers to Vietnam and Indochina. The strong dollar has definitely affected this and helped boost numbers. We are looking forward to helping our clients to book great trips in Vietnam and Indochina in the coming months which will take advantage of the current situation and allow them to get the most out of every single Dong that they spend in Vietnam."

'Sex, love and feminism' are three aspects of the rapidly changing gender relations that shape young people's lives in the Asia Pacific region. Much has been written about rapidly changing countries in Asia, most recently China and India. With the global spread of capitalist production and neo-liberal ideologies, the claim that the rest of the world's women are treading the path to enlightenment and development forged by women in the West has been revived. This book explores that contention through a comparative analysis of the attitudes of young middle class urbanites in ten countries: the USA, Australia, Canada, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, India, Indonesia, China and Vietnam. Drawing on detailed empirical research, the study describes and compares attitudes towards the women's movement, sexual relations and family arrangements in the countries considered. It explores young peoples' image of feminists and what they feel the women's movement has achieved for women and men in their country. The book discusses young people's attitudes to controversial gender issues such as role reversal, sharing housework, abortion rights, same sex sexual relations, nudity and pornography. Through a comparative analysis of the gender vocabularies by which young people understand gender issues, the book highlights the role of differences in history, culture, economics and political leadership. These influence attitudes to gender relations, the status of women and the political programs of the women's movement in different countries. Whilst there are striking parallels between countries and even across the whole sample, those similarities do not fall neatly into a simple dichotomy of the 'westversus the rest'.

Excerpt: The Vit Nam Quc Dân ng (VNQDD), also known as the Vit Quc, is the Vietnamese Nationalist Party, a revolutionary socialist political party that sought independence from French colonial rule in Vietnam during the early 20th century. Its origins lie in the mid-1920s, when a group of young Hanoi-based intellectuals began publishing revolutionary material. In 1927, after the publishing house failed because of French harassment and censorship, the VNQDD was formed under the leadership of Nguyen Thai Hoc. Modelling itself on the Republic of China's Kuomintang, the VNQDD gained a following among northerners, particularly teachers and intellectuals. The party, which was less successful among peasants and industrial workers, was organised in small clandestine cells. From 1928, the VNQDD attracted attention through its assassinations o... More:
