Описание:

A crocodile pulls a sleeping man into the river by one leg. Another breaks the neck of a swimming policeman. An out-of-luck miner drowns himself in the town's well.

Once called Palmerston, the City of Darwin began in the 1870s. Darwin was a pioneer's paradise: sometimes as exciting as it was dull, full of potential but, too often, dangerous. Not everyone survived.

The first settlers arrived in January 1870 to find very little other than surveyed blocks of bushland sold to distant investors. It was a colony made from scratch, with little tangible reason for its existence until the Overgrand Telegraph Line came through from London and joined Australia to the rest of the world. Then goldl was discovered and hopeful miners rushed north from all over the country. Most went home disappointed, but only if they survived the privations of the bush and the distraction of the pubs. The government brought in Chinese 'Coolie' workers - and they kept coming, gold dust shining in their eyes - until, by the end of the decade, there were ten times as many Chinese as European settlers, and Chinatown was the most vibrant part of the settlement.

Known as Palmerston until it was renamed in 1911, Pugh brings the early colony to life once again through this delightful and colourful account of Darwin's fascinating, unique early history, and the extraordinary characters who pioneered the settlement of the north.

With a foreword by Her Honour the Honourable Vicki O'Halloran AO, the 22nd Administrator of the Northern Territory.

Описание:

The Iwaidja woman, her belly opened by a bayonet, slipped below the dark water. Her 6-year-old daughter, Reveral, watched in terror. Her baby sister was already dead, hit by a slug in the first volley or drowned, but a young man lying on the sand with his intestines spilling out had to be finished off - out of mercy Reveral, wounded in her side, was carried back to the fort in triumph, for she was worth a 5 reward from Commandant Smyth.

Capturing an Australian was how the British sought to make friends with the Iwaidja, on whose lands the new British garrison of Fort Wellington was being built. It was an appalling start, but eventually, with the remarkable Captain Collet Barker in charge, friendships were established. At last, it looked like a successful trading settlement would follow, the British would live in peace with the local tribe, and they would welcome, and protect the Macassan fisherman, who came annually to the peninsula for trepang.

But then, a twice ship-wrecked captain struggled ashore with the order to abandon the north coast altogether, and the soldiers, Royal Marines, convicts, their families, and even Reveral herself, wearily packed up the settlement and moved on, leaving the fort and its gardens to the Iwaidja. 'Another of our sweet, nice, wise, profitable, gingerbread, out of the way plythings is to go', rejoiced The Australian in 1829.

This is the extraordinary forgotten story of the second attempt at settling Australia's north coast.

With a foreword by His Honour the Honourable Austin Asche AC QC, the 13th Administrator of the Northern Territory.

Описание: No sooner have they mastered the basics than students of theology can quickly find themselves in over their heads. They are bombarded with claim and counter-claim as soon as they want to tackle anything topical. The contentious subjects tend to be the historical Jesus, gender and sexuality, or the atonement. Other subjects might be less contentious but attract an astonishing excess of literature. Take the vast literature tackling the subject of the Church, for instance, or the bloated body of tomes on various aspects of Pneumatology. This book tries to provide the bewildered and intimidated student with a primer that is at once introductory and incisive; approachable and informative. It will help those training for ministry to recover their fascination for the subject of theology and how it could apply to their future ministry.

Subjects covered include

- The Quests for the Historical Jesus
- Third Article Theology
- The Missional Church
- Liberation Theology
- Feminist, LGBT and Queer Approaches
- Postmodern Faith and the Emerging Church
- Nonviolent Atonement

Описание:

Guinea pigs are under-rated in the intelligence department. But guinea pigs can change your life, and indeed, the course of earthly history...

Merridy discovers a surreal guinea pig underworld at the Hobart Guinea Pig Show, where she adopts the tiny pedigree Hazel and the handsome mongrel Chestnut. She has no idea that her home, her family, the island of Tasmania, and ultimately, Planet Earth, will in time be turned upside down by the acquisition of two ridiculous furballs with twiddly little legs.

For guinea pigs are smarter than most humans think. And the angelic Hazel is a Pig God in training.

Pig Tails depicts a charming and funny domestic scene, but one with cosmic implications (to be fully revealed in Books 2 and 3). This is what happens when you find yourself eye-to-eye with somepig of a different species, and realise you've met your match.

Описание: This is a remarkable investigative work, providing full details of the Ancient Druid Science upon which all religions are based. Contemporarily referred to as: 'The Holy Grail, ' the author reveals how this ancient knowledge has been ruthlessly supressed - and systematically employed by the Vatican in an endless pursuit for material wealth and power. It is this book that the Pope and his inner-circle of Catholic globalists do not want you to read. It explains how Revelation was purposely corrupted by the Romans to form the basis of their Diverse/Catholic religion - and fully discloses the Vatican's unholy alliance with Islam to destroy any civilisation possessing part of the ancient truths.

Описание:

The challenges that Western culture keeps posing to the Christian faith are ever new. The goal-posts keep changing. This study guide will equip theology students to understand the culture-shaping beliefs that are driving the kinds of questions it brings to faith. It will be an historical overview of the key stages in the history of Western philosophy with each section carefully tracing the genealogical line of ideas and the Christian responses to them, right up to the present day.

For most theology students, learning abstract philosophical concepts involves literally learning a new language, a language that the initiated converse in with ease but which leaves the uninitiated baffled. Thus, each chapter in this study guide opens with a glossary of terms.

Throughout the studyguide students are encouraged to reflect on the ways in which what has been learned might be applied in both explicitly theological and wider cultural contexts - for example, they might be asked to think of a film or book that seems to express elements of existentialism or postmodernism, or to describe how something very like the extreme subjectivity of idealism can sometimes shows itself in Sunday morning worship.
