From Fruit Bowl Farms to Housing Boom
Volume One This book traces the history of the breakup of farms into housing through the subdivisions that occurred north of Carlingford Rd in the Carlingford/Epping area of Sydney in the 1800s.The area was the fruit bowl of Sydney and was closely associated with the history of our early colony of NSW.Carlingford resident Chris Staples belongs to Ray Park Heritage Group. He has been to government offices and libraries and gathered stories and photos. They detail what Beecroft, Carlingford and Epping was like during this time. The apple orchards and poultry farms were to be a greenbelt area but the farms gave way to subdivisions for homes.Frank Lowy's Westfield empire began here at Carlingford Court and Attorney General Garfield Barwick played a part in the development of the area.The book presents this history in a living way.

Researching Irish Australians
This directory provides short histories of some 5,000 of the Irish who settled in Australia in the last century. Included also are over 500 abstracts of Irish-Australian wills taken from the printed Irish will calendars 1858-1900. High and low in society are to be found there ranging from a State Governor like Sir Arthur Kennedy of Queensland down to John Augustin Martin, a billiard marker of Inverell, New South Wales, whose estate was valued at £250 when he died in 1892. Significantly, over 80 abstracts relate to women, an important feature since documentation about individual women is meagre.

Using the systemic functional model as their point of departure, the papers in the present volume consider the two notions in a wider context by relating them to the interpersonal and textual metafunctions of language. By contrast with the current linguistic approaches, the primary focus here is neither simply on fo...

Sacred Places
Memorials to Australian participation in wars abound in our landscape. From Melbourne's huge Shrine of Remembrance to the modest marble soldier, obelisk or memorial hall in suburb and country town, they mourn and honour Australians who have served and died for their country. Surprisingly, they have largely escaped scrutiny. Ken Inglis argues that the imagery, rituals and rhetoric generated around memorials constitute a civil religion, a cult of ANZAC. Sacred Places traces three elements which converged to create the cult: the special place of war in the European mind when nationalism was at its zenith; the colonial condition; and the death of so many young men in distant battle, which impell...
