In white water
An open hand
You found my wreck
In pieces there
And all my resin
Glowing red
Could turn to amber
I will still be there
Now I'm letting all you in
... It has become apparent from experiments in education, they wrote,
that children feel more secure and contented when they have, along with the freedom for exploring and puttering and wondering, some definite framework within which they are expected to carry on their activities. The woman who is a little bit interested in bridge, a bit interested in the Women’s Town Improvement Association, a bit interested in the Garden Club or the Book Club, is something like the nursery school child who flits from crayoning to block building to climbing and then back to crayoning, spending only a few minutes at each activity, but never completing anything. They are both very busy creatures, but there is no aim or purpose and no satisfaction of achievement...

[Verse 1]
Say it all, say it all to me
Leave nothing in your head
Set it all, set it all free
Just don’t make me start again
[Verse 2]
You were there when I needed it
I found refuge in your room
In a house full of memories
Can I cover them with you?
[Chorus]
And now I’m holding you
And you’re holding me
When I’m holding you
We’re the quiet moon
And the wild seaInstrumental Bridge[Verse 3]

Weekend is an old fashioned famous white bloke’s cookbook. The 100 motley recipes that brazenly raid global cooking traditions – like famous white bloke’s cookbooks tend to do – are hung around the thin premise of ‘weekend’ cooking when notionally you have more time to spend in the kitchen. In reality, you could knock many of the recipes up at any time of the week. But no matter, the concept…

Glass plate negative of Eta Argus by James Short and H C Russell
In 1887 the Government Astronomer, H.C. Russell, worked an international project to map the stars in the southern section of the heavens using photography. Planning for this began in 1887 and started in 1892 after which it continued to play a major role in the activities at Sydney Observatory up until the 1960s.
The success of this project depended upon a special kind of photographic telescope, officially known as an 'astrograph', but which Russell often referred to as the 'Star Camera'. The casing and mounts for the 'Star Camera' were made in New South Wales and were completed by 1890. As the lens, ordered from Sir Howard Grubb, had not arrived Russell experimented with a six-inch (15.2 cm) portrait lens made by J.H. Dallmeyer. Using this camera Russell took a number of scientific photographs of the stars which he felt were "…the first of their kind of the Southern Skies."
Negatives taken by Russell,and his camera operator James Short, were printed and bound into a book title 'Photographs of the Milky Way and Nubeculae taken at Sydney Observatory 1890'. This Plate was exposed for approximately 2 hours 40 minutes. For more information see attached Powerhouse Museum Theme 'Sydney Observatory Star Camera First Photographs 1890'.
