Ask a Question Now! Issue 82 Tasmanian Fauna May 24, 2002 View All Australian Newsletters Introduction The Tasmanian bush is alive with animals- but where are they all? It isn’t always easy to see our wildlife in its native habitat because most animals are nocturnal, including the Tasmanian Devil. Specialist wildlife observation tours will take you to places where you are very likely to observe animals and birds. Wildlife parks offer another way to see our native fauna. Tip Of The Week Whales and penguins Where can I see whales and penguins? There are no guarantees or specific tours for whale-watching, but they are often sighted along the East Coast off the Freycinet Peninsula. Usually this is in the spring months of September to November when they migrate to warmer waters to breed.Penguins may be observed at various areas around the State. At Turners Beach on the north west coast, off Low Head in the north, at Bicheno on the east coast and in the south on the neck of Bruny Island and South Arm. Guided tours are available at Bicheno on the east coast and at Low Head and Stanley on the north coast.

Alumni Australian culture and history There’s no better way to engage with Australian culture and society than through distinctly Australian courses. An understanding of Australia, past and present, makes your downunder experience more rewarding. Plus, distinctly Australian studies build on and complement your existing qualifications, allowing you to specialize your interests and career. Indigenous studies, Australian history and Australian studies are courses useful across a variety of fields, such as the arts, education, history, law, health and government administration. For example, Indigenous studies may supplement a career in community development or remote health; and Australian studies may be useful in the culture industries, such as working in a museum or in art education. Indigenous studies Indigenous Australians (Australian Aborigines) have the oldest continuous culture on earth, with a spirituality and art of international significance. Ancient enchantment and Australia’s hot, red outback usually spring to mind first when we think of Indigenous culture. But the life and history of the country’s first people are more rich and complex than most people imagine. Indigenous Australians live all over the country – from dry, remote places to lush, tropical areas, from bountiful coastal fringes to the Torres Straight Islands off Australia’s northern shores.

Conference Speeches 1995 Global Cultural Diversity Conference Proceedings, Sydney The Intercultural Nature of Modern English Professor Braj Kachru Professor of Linguistics and Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois, USA I. Introduction In his presidential address to the English Association in London in 1975, George Steiner observed that "the linguistic center of English has shifted". Steiner argued that ...this shift of the linguistic center involves more than statistics. It does look as if the principal energies of the English language, as if its genius for acquisition, for innovation, more metaphoric response, has also moved away from England. What is important here is where the center is shifting to. Steiner was not thinking of the shift to North America or to Australia only, but to East, West, and South Africa, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and the US possessions in the Pacific. He is actually referring to the unprecedented global presence of English, its internationalisation, and its increasing pluralism. When we call English an international medium, what we mean is that those who use English across cultures in Asia, in Africa and in Europe have a shared code of communication. The medium provides, as it were, shifting "grids" through which we gain access to a variety of Asian, African, European, and North American ideologies, mythologies, philosophies, and other sociocultural contexts. We see this acculturation of the medium in, for example, West African varieties of English. In this region, as Okara says, English is used, "to express our own ideas, thinking and philosophy in our own way" (1963: 15-16).

@import "/includes/styles/flyout.css"; @import "/includes/styles/dimia.css"; About us Service Charter Contact us Media centre ... Conference Speeches Global Cultural Diversity Conference Proceedings, Sydney Introduction Stephen Castles Centre for Multicultural Studies, University of Wollongong, Australia Increasing cultural diversity has become one of the major forces of change in the contemporary world. It is closely linked to current trends towards globalisation, which affects individuals, societies and governments at all levels. The process of globalisation goes back to European colonial expansion since the 15th century, but has accelerated dramatically since 1945. The bipolar world order which emerged from the Second World War created the conditions for decolonisation and for rapid increases in international flows of capital, commodities and population. More recently, the end of the Cold War held out the prospect of global integration in economic, cultural and political relations. This coincided with the micro-electronic revolution in information technology, creating the conditions for even greater international mobility of investments, goods, ideas and people. Today, there are few corners of the world which have escaped rapid transformations in work and ways of life. The changes are often initially felt on the economic and social levels, but it is important to realise that they are the result of underlying cultural shifts. The increasingly pervasive western values of rationality and progress have ambivalent consequences. Historically, they were the precondition for European expansion, but only at the cost of conquest and exploitation for many of the world's peoples. Recent economic and technological advances offer the promise of higher living standards, but the growing destructiveness of military power (based on the same technologies) threatens human survival. Industrialisation can bring social progress, but at the cost of environmental degradation and loss of bio-diversity.

In 1975, with the arrival of colour television in Australia, cinema attendances dropped by approximately 30% While the prototypes offered up for Australians to aspire to in the late 1970s and early 1980s were increasingly irrelevant to domestic audiences, there were precious few filmmakers and films left in the revival's wake to pick up the slack. But maybe it was the audience's need for an all-encompassing and singular national identity for Australia that had disappeared, and thus maybe the filmmakers had begun to flog a dead horse.

Overview Current State Infrastructure Opportunities ... Publications ACM AMRIN AMRS Opportunities Establishment of an Australian Microbial Resources Research Network will draw together under one umbrella high quality research and researchers working in a range of disciplines including Microbial Diversity, Taxonomy, Evolution and Genomics, Ecology, Identification, Culture Collections, and Bioinformatics, as well as in Biodiscovery and Biotechnology. This initiative provides an opportunity to rectify the current fragmented approach and provides a national focus but will need infrastructure funding if it is to achieve its full potential and reach the standard of similar facilities and networks in other countries. If adequately funded it will have a significant impact and provide an impetus to Australian research and development by overcoming current deficiencies in infrastructure and inefficiencies due to major difficulties experienced by researchers to gain access to microbial cultures and information on these cultures. The Network will thus be an enabling initiative which will bring together existing resources, while providing a framework for future development and funding initiatives. It will provide a means to encourage researchers to accession valuable cultures in collections for future research and exploitation, as well as making available reference and control cultures used in standard methods of analysis. Thus the Network will establish essential basic collaborative infrastructure to meet national strategic needs in the life sciences, biotechnology, industry, and educational sectors. It will commence a process to overcome a long recognised deficiency in Australian scientific infrastructure not addressed by previous programs and will foster the sharing of information and resources for innovative research.

Articles new articles section catalog keyword catalog title catalog ... author catalog John Mark Ministries Priscillas Friends WWW The gospel and Australian culture Not quite established: Ross Langmead In varying ways the Christian churches in Western countries which have been established by the state are losing their privileged status, and Australia is no exception. But the question of the extent to which the Australian church has been disestablished is complicated by the prior question of the extent to which it was ever established. In particular, was the church of the colonial masters, the Church of England, ever the state church? I plan to use the issue of disestablishment as a focus for some broader questions about how much the gospel has had a transformative role in Australian society and how well it has taken root in Australian cultural soil. I want to argue that the gospel has never had a real 'bite' on Australian culture, and in particular, that the Christian church has never quite been established in either the narrower (legal) sense or the broader (cultural) sense. There's a certain truth to the common claim that Australia is one of the most secular societies to be found. But the picture is not as simple as this. While Australians are not generally interested in organised religion, most believe in God and are open to the spiritual dimension of life, even if they are somewhat inarticulate and stop short of commitment to a group. There are opportunities facing the Christian church in Australia currently as the gospel shows fresh signs of engaging culture in terms of Australian theology, new forms of church practice and a presence in wider society.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has produced Health Expenditure Australia 2002-03 which gives the real picture of what was spent and what will be spent next.

Research by NATSEM shows the majority of Australians are contributing very little to the cost of their retirement. Since 1992, almost every employee has had superannuation put aside for them under the Superannuation Guarantee, so where does this superannuation go? There is a popular misconception that, on average, Australian retirees enjoy ‘the good life'. NATSEM's evidence contradicts this.
