HIGHLIGHTS: Tour of Army Museum of Western Australia
On 30 August 2018, WA DEFENCE REVIEW in partnership with AIM WA had the pleasure of organising an interactive tour of the iconic Army Museum of Western Australia located at the Artillery Barracks site in Burt Street, Fremantle. Involving over 20 decision-makers and senior professionals from government and industry, the tour provided a valuable insight into WA's military heritage, largely unknown to many, in what is arguably one of Australia's best military museums. Included in the tour was an insightful presentation by BRIG David Thompson AM (Rtd), former Commander, 13 Brigade, Australian Army, who spoke on military leadership and its transferable lessons for civilian management professionals.
Cairns Travel Guide - An Australian Adventure
Cairns Travel Guide - An Australian Adventure
Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation in Tropical North Queensland, Australia. Cairns is a cosmopolitan city with a population of approx. 140,000 that is very focused on the tourist industry; particularly popular with international tourists. Japanese tourists are especially catered for, with many shops' signs being written in Japanese, as well as English. The city is surrounded by rainforest and can be used as a gateway to destinations such as Kuranda and the Daintree. Besides tourism, the city is supported by agricultural activities which include sugar cane, bananas, coffee, tea and the world's first tropical fruit wine region.
There is a lot of accommodation to suit all budgets with plenty of drinking establishments and restaurants catering to all types of tastes. The atmosphere is laid back and unpretentious, while prices are relatively inexpensive. There are a plethora of clubs and coffee shops in the city, all overflowing with international tourists which helps to give Cairns its cosmopolitan feel.
Cairns esplanade and The Pier market place are centrally located in the CBD. The retail district has something to offer visitors from anywhere in the world. There are plenty of cafés and shopping plazas and an expanding multicultural art scene. The city has a vibrant night life with restaurants offering fine dining with international cuisine from cultures all over the world. Staying at a 5 star hotel the city centre is a popular option for upscale tourists - though many upmarket tourists will go to Port Douglas instead. Cairns is a noted backpacker's hub, though, with plentiful and popular low-priced dorm-style accommodation.
There is no swimming beach to speak of in central Cairns (you will only find a mud flat if you head to the ocean), although there are many choices just north and south of the city. A large outdoor, lagoon-style pool is in the centre of the Cairns City area, which is very popular throughout the year with tourists and locals alike. If you are aiming to have a beach side resort holiday, there are several resorts a short drive north of Cairns.
Sightseeing charter tours can be booked from most major resorts, or (avoiding the travel agents) from the charter companies themselves. Cairns, as the largest city in the region, is a popular jumping-off point for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree National Park, as well as the Atherton Tablelands and the Queensland Outback.
Season: Peak tourist season is from around May to November and accommodation prices rise during this period. The wet season in Tropical North Queensland starts from December and the weather is wet and humid with high rainfall, in which Cape Tribulation and the Daintree are susceptible to flooding. Parts of the Daintree National Park are only accessible by 4WD during this time, but 4WD buses will take you there nonetheless.
Frequent Sunbus buses depart from the city centre to the suburbs and Northern Beaches. You can buy a 'daily' bus ticket that lasts until the last service that night. The last services heading back into the city are generally around 10pm - 11pm, while the last services out of the city are between 11pm and midnight.

Old Smithfield Town and Cemetery, Cairns, Australia
Here's a quick CairnsBlog tour, with local environmentalist, Terry Spackman, showing the remains of 1870's Smithfield Township, that was washed away and hundreds killed in a series of massive floods in the late 1870's.
The re-established Smithfield township was built higher and to the North of the Barron River Delta, around 20 kilometers North of Cairns. However, to this day it still causes substantial flooding problems during the annual November - April wet season.
The Barron River delta encompasses an area from Machans Beach, on the southern banks of the Barron River, north to Smithfield, some 15 kilometers from Cairns. It is a constantly changing flood plain, with many dormant river systems the spring to life when the annual wet comes.
There were some huge floods throughout the last couple of centuries, and a number in the late 1970s.

Cane fire at Smithfield, Cairns, Far North Queensland
Biosecurity Queensland decided to set a couple of cane fires at Smithfield, a northern suburb of Cairns, in order to combat electric ants that had been found in the area. The fire allows the cane to be taken away for processing with a reduced likelihood of the ants being on board, and allows poison baits to be applied more effectively.

Ontario Regiment Museum - Aquino Tank Day - Overview
On the 19th of May, 1944, tanks of the Ontario Regiment suffered heavy losses while attacking German defenders in the town of Aquino during the breakthrough of the Hitler Line in Italy. The Ontario Regiment Museum located in Oshawa Ontario hosted an event of remembrance involving displays of numerous military vehicles. A series of short reenactments ensued allowing spectators to witness some of the sights and sounds of these war machines.
A great day and I'd highly recommend attending the next one (if that's your thing).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
