Site Search Gibraltar - the Pillar of Hercules by Andrew Mueller But it's what lies to the south that really makes Gibraltar what it is, what has caused wars ­ Gibraltar has endured 15 sieges, at last count ­ to be fought over it. If you have Gibraltar, you have the Meditterranean. The visitor’s centre at the top of the Rock is built from crumbling concrete, and painted, in defiance of all aesthetic reason, in a queasy, lurid tone best thought of as Richard Madeley Orange. An arrestingly mean-spirited sign warns "No picnics": if you wish to dine here, you are condemned to the absurdly expensive and entirely inedible fare available in the cafeteria. But you don¹t take the cable-car up this contentious lump of limestone for the food or the architecture. You come for the view, for the view is why Gibraltar matters. Look north to the point where this unparalleled natural fortress rises to 1400 feet, and you see a cluster of military buildings crowded around one spherical white radar dome, perched like a giant golf ball on the tee of Goliath. This is the visible component of a Ministry of Defence communication and command centre, housed in and around the 33 miles of tunnels that were dug inside the Rock during World War II (the precise contents of the Rock are the subject of much lurid speculation: in Gibraltar¹s pubs, retired servicemen talk of fully-equipped hospitals, bunkers and roads wide enough for trucks; across the bay in Algeciras, the Mayor accuses Britain of housing a secret nuclear reactor here).

Biography Early in my university career I considered historical geography to be my principal focus. My PhD thesis looked at the geography of Chartism, the early Victorian popular suffrage movement, in the context of debates over national integration and regional differentiation. My interest in political geography and political theory developed in conjunction with this research. Since then I have worked on different topics, though the nineteenth century remains my main concern. The main strand of my current research examines the historical geography of the regulation of prostitution in Britain and its colonies, with relevance to geographies of gender and sexuality. I am also interested with the cultural geography of Victorian Britain more generally.

Materials Classroom-size world map 1 per student Map of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa (attached) Geography worksheet Procedure Direct the students attention to the classroom world map. Have a student locate the country of Italy and the city of Rome on the map. Tell the students that some of the geographical features of the land on which Rome was built made its location a wise place to build a city. Explain that Rome is built on hills alongside which a river flows. Have the students think about why the hills and the river made for a good place to build a city. Ask: What would be the benefits of living in a city that had high points from which you could see surrounding areas? (From a hill, they would be able to see enemies approaching.) What would be beneficial about living in a city that was next to a river? (travel by boat, water for drinking, bathing and farming) Give each student a map and have them follow along as you locate countries and geographical features on the classroom world map.

Geography of the Highlands PALEOGRAPHY: Australia is the oldest of continents. After Antarctica, it is the smallest (at 8.5 million square kilometres - 3700kms north to south, and 4000 kms east to west). It is the only continent containing just one nation (although in the past there were hundreds of smaller aboriginal nations before European settlement: two co-existed here in the Highlands area). Originally part of the super land mass Gondwanaland some 500 million years ago (Cambrian Period), it was formed after the movement of the earth's tectonic plates, travelling north, then finally separating about 95 million years ago. The continent is still drifting about 7 cms a year towards Asia - something which saves the airlines a few cups of fuel each year! Over hundreds of millions of years, various parts of the continent were under the sea - which explains why you can find seashells and marine fossils in rocks on top of present day mountains. Most of the land under the Highlands is sandstone, therefore once ocean floor. Sandstone is still quarried today in Bundanoon. About 300 million years ago (Carboniferous Period), glaciers covered part of the eastern shore and ice sheets the south.

General Tourist Information The Rock of Gibraltar Strong in History Gibraltar - History and Geography When you first see the Rock of Gibraltar, whether it is from the air, from the sea or from either the Costa del Sol or the western end of the Bay, it is its impressive stature, towering isolated above the surrounding countryside, that causes the greatest impact. It has had this effect on people for many thousands of years. Gibraltar is a beacon which signals the position of the Strait of Gibraltar, the narrow neck which separates Europe from Africa and provides the only link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. On the 3rd of March 1848 a skull was found in Forbes's Quarry at the foot of the sheer north face of the Rock of Gibraltar. Nobody knew it at the time but it belonged not to a modern human, like us, but to a prehistoric form. It was put away and another found eight years later in the Neander Valley near Dusseldorf in Germany gave this human its name - instead of Gibraltar Man it became Neanderthal Man - Gibraltar missed out. This is not the only Neanderthal from Gibraltar. Another, a young child's broken skull, was found nearby in 1928, in a rock shelter known as Devil's Tower. Talk today to experts from the Gibraltar Museum or from the Natural History Museum in London and they will tell you that other caves in Gibraltar were also home to these people as far back as 120 thousand years ago or more. Excavations even today continue to produce exciting finds.

SECTION A Part 1 Gibraltar General Information A.1 Geography and Climate Gibraltar is a barren rock covering an area of 21/2 square miles situated at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Known to the peoples of classical times as one of the two mythical pillars of Hercules, ‘the Rock’ as it is affectionately known to its inhabitants, rises to 1396 feet above sea-level at its highest point, towering above the western approaches to the Mediterranean sea and occupying a strategic position at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar which connects the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. Africa in the form of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta lies directly opposite just 9 miles away and the Moroccan City of Tangier is 32 miles away at the western end of the Straits. Across the narrow isthmus joining Gibraltar to the Spanish mainland and on which its airport is built, lies the Spanish town of La Linea de la Conception. The temperature can reach as high as 40–C in the summer months of July and August with lows of 10–C in January or February. Normally, though, the winter temperature does not fall below 13–C and in summer it generally keeps to a range of between 28–C and 33–C. Climatic conditions are further affected by the pressure differences that can exist between the Mediterranean and Atlantic resulting in strong winds. Westerly and southerly winds bring hotter, drier weather whereas easterlies produce cooler humid conditions.
