During the 1800s a great number of intrepid (but sometimes foolhardy) adventurers, prospectors, surveyors and naturalists crisscrossed the continent in all directions, more than a few of them losing their lives along the way.

Now tiny communities across our region are seizing the opportunity to develop and promote tourism opportunities by becoming a part of a formal alliance, creating a travelling trail that links the Darling with the Diamantina and beyond. T he initiative involves locations made famous as river ports on the Darling, preceeding even the exploratory expeditions into some of Australia's inland, the development of the pastoral industry and the 1880s goldrush. This is an exciting initiative and we hope that we will meet you on the trail some day soon.

The capital of Nunavut is Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay) on Baffin Island in the east. Other major communities include Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. Nunavut also includes Ellesmere Island in the north and the east of Victoria Island in the west. Nunavut is both the least populated and the largest of the provinces and territorities of Canada. It has a population of only about 29,300 (''Nunavumiut'', sg. Nunavumiuq ) spread over an area the size of Western Europe. If Nunavut were a sovereign nation, it would be the least densely populated in the world: nearby Greenland , for example, has almost the same area and twice the population.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Charles Sturt Captain Charles Sturt Australian explorer, was born in India and joined the British Army as a young man, seeing action with the Duke of Wellington in Spain and at Waterloo . He came to Australia with his regiment in In 1828 the Governor of New South Wales , Ralph Darling sent Sturt and Hamilton Hume to explore the area of the Macquarie River in western New South Wales. They discovered and named the Darling River , but were unable to proceed further. This expedition proved that northern New South Wales was not an inland sea, but deepened the mystery of where the western-flowing rivers of New South Wales went to. In 1829 Governor Darling approved an expedition to solve this mystery. Sturt prooposed to travel down the Murrumbidgee River , whose upper reaches had been seen by the Hume and Hovell expedition . In January Sturt's party reached the confluence of the Murrumbidgee and a much larger river, which Sturt named the Murray River . It was in fact the same river which Hume and Hovell had crossed further upstream and named the Hume. Sturt then proceeded down the Murray, until he reached the river's confluence with the Darling. Sturt had now proved that all the western-flowing rivers eventually flowed into the Murray. In February 1830, the party reached a large lake which Sturt called Lake Alexandrina. A few days later, they reached the sea. There they made the disappointing discovery that the mouth of the Murray was a maze of lagoons and sandbars, impassable to shipping.

Scottish Placenames - Adelaide, Australia The names of these suburbs commemorate Captain Charles Sturt (17951869) whoexplored and mapped the Macquarie and Murrumbidgee rivers. Sturt was born in http://www.rampantscotland.com/placenames/placename_adelaide.htm
Extractions: Of the names of the 410 suburbs in the Adelaide-Gawler-Stirling-Port Noarlunga Metropolitan area, 96 (23.4%) are based wholly or in part on placenames that can be found in Scotland, on Scottish family names or on Scottish words. Of course, many of the names are used in other parts of the British Isles as well but 40 (9.8%) of these appear to be unique to Scotland or are readily identifiable with places in Scotland that are based on the same names. Official suburbs and other localities with names that occur only in Scotland and not elsewhere in the British Isles, and/or are definitely or most probably of Scottish origin are: Aberfoyle Park (Aberfoyle in Stirling - illustrated here). The suburb takes its name from the homestead owned by John Christian Aberfoyle, who changed his name by deed poll in 1917 from John Christian Sauerbier. This is an interesting example of how places and even individual citizens in the British Empire changed their names during WWI as a consequence of anti-German sentiment. It is not known why Sauerbier chose an obviously Scottish name. Angle Park (Fife). According to the (South Australian) PlaceNames Online website, this suburb was "possibly so named because the subdivision was divided diagonally by a government road." It might therefore be pure coincide that Angle Park also exists as a placename in Scotland.

Australian States - Northern Territory FLORAL EMBLEM of Northern Territory is the Sturt S DESERT ROSE Gossypium The species was first collected by Captain Charles Sturt (17951869) in the http://www.irishaustralia.com/Australian/States/NT/northernter.htm
Extractions: Northern Territory adopted their flag on 1 July 1978 even though the Northern Territory was founded as a Federal Territory on 1 January 1911. Its first flag was hoisted on 1st July 1978 when self government was attained. The flag was designed by Robert Ingpen, a Victorian illustrator, and incorporates both the Territorian colors and floral emblem. In the center of the fly is a stylized Sturt's Desert Rose with seven petals on an ochre field. At the hoist is the Southern Cross in white on a black panel. The Northern Territory covers about one sixth of the Australian continent with an area of 1.35 million square kilometers including 6,200 kilometers of coast line. This is equal to the combined areas of France, Italy and Spain. The population is 170,000 people and they live mainly in the centers of Darwin, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs, however despite its size, the Northern Territory represents less than two percent of Australia's population. The northern quarter of the state is known as the "Top End" and has a distinct region of savannah wood-lands and pockets of rain-forests and the capital Darwin is situated here. The Arnhem Land plateau which is in the north-east, rises abruptly from the plain and continues to the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the central Australia, the Territory is crossed by the east-west ridges of the Macdonnell Ranges, with heights reaching more than 600 meters. The well known monolith, Uluru formally known as Ayers Rock, is 348 meters high and is near the south-west corner of the Territory. Whereas much of the southern three quarters of the Territory consists of desert and semi arid plain.
Deadlock Sturt, Charles 17951869 Indian-born Australian explorer, explored easternAustralia, his Dearlock led to the discovery of the river system in http://deadlock.infohub.dnip.net/
Extractions: A deadlock is a situation wherein two or more competing actions are waiting for the other to finish, so neither ever does. It is often seen in a paradox , like the chicken or the egg . In the computing world deadlock refers to a specific condition when two processes are each waiting for the other to release a resource, or more than two processes are waiting for resources in a circular chain (see Necessary conditions ). Deadlocks are a common problem in multiprocessing where many processes share a specific type of mutually exclusive resource known as a lock . They are particularly troubling because there is no general solution to avoiding deadlocks. This situation can be likened to two people who are drawing diagrams, with only one pencil and one ruler between them. If one person takes the pencil, the other takes the ruler, a Deadlock occurs when the person with the pencil needs the ruler and the person with the ruler needs the pencil. Both requests can't be satisfied, so a Deadlock occurs. An example of a Deadlock occurs frequently in database products.

Extractions: by A. B. Paterson Terms Contents Song of the Pen Song of the Wheat ... Comments Comments About the Author ndrew Barton Paterson was born on 17 February 1864 at Narambla, New South Wales. He lived at Illalong station until he was ten, when he went to Sydney to attend school. He trained as a solicitor (a type of lawyer) but also contributed some verse to the Sydney "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", taken from the name of a horse. His first book, "The Man from Snowy River", was published in 1895, and has sold more copies than any other book of Australian poetry. He later gave up law to become a journalist, and went to South Africa to report on the Boer War. When World War I broke out he sought work as a war correspondent, but failed to get it. He then went to work driving an ambulance in France, and later became a Remount Officer with the Australian forces then in Egypt. After returning to Australia in 1919 he continued as a writer, and died in Sydney on 5 February 1941. Paterson's most famous work is "Waltzing Matilda", written in 1895, and now an unofficial anthem of Australia. "The Man from Snowy River" has since become the inspiration for a well-known movie of the same name, and even a series on a cable television network. "Clancy of the Overflow" is similarly well known.
