Australië - South West Rocks with Historic Trial Bay Gaol, (NSW)
De afsluitende rit van onze 3 weekse trip langs de oostkust. Rijdend over de Pacific HWY langs leuke plaatsjes zoals Urunga, Valle Beach, Nambucca, Macksville, besloten wij ter hoogte van Clybucca de tourist drive 12 te nemen naar South west Rock. Een goede keuze, een leuk stadje gelegen aan de monding van de Macleay River en Trail Bay met haar prachtige rotskusten en stranden. Daarbij de heerlijke Horseshoe Bay, ideaal om daar even te baden. Op het iets verder op aan de kust gelegen Laggers Point ligt een historische gevangenis, de Historic Trail Bay Gaol. Nu een ruïne annex museum over het gegeven dat deze gevangenis Duitse krijgsgevangenen uit de oorlog 1914 - 18 herbergde. De meeste van deze krijgsgevangenen keerden na deze oorlog niet meer naar Duitsland terug. Al met al een geslaagde afsluiting van onze 3 weekse toer. Daarna binnendoor langs de Macleay River naar Kempsey om daar de Pacific HWY op te pikken om er bij Taree af te slaan naar onze uitvalsbasis Harrington.
The final ride of our 3 week trip along the east coast. Driving across the Pacific HWY past nice places such as Urunga, Valle Beach, Nambucca, Macksville, we decided to take the tourist drive 12 to South West Rock near Clybucca. A good choice, a nice town located at the mouth of the Macleay River and Trail Bay with its beautiful rocky coasts and beaches. In addition, the delightful Horseshoe Bay, ideal for bathing. A little further up the coast from Laggers Point is a historic prison, the Historic Trail Bay Gaol. Now a ruin annex museum about the fact that this prison housed German prisoners of war from the 1914-18 war. Most of these prisoners of war did not return to Germany after this war. All in all a successful conclusion to our 3 week tour. Then we head in along the Macleay River to Kempsey to pick up the Pacific HWY to turn off at Taree to our base in Harrington.
Die letzte Fahrt unserer 3-wöchigen Reise entlang der Ostküste. Wir fuhren über den Pacific Highway an schönen Orten wie Urunga, Valle Beach, Nambucca und Macksville vorbei und beschlossen, die Touristenfahrt 12 nach South West Rock in der Nähe von Clybucca zu nehmen. Eine gute Wahl, eine schöne Stadt an der Mündung des Macleay River und Trail Bay mit seinen wunderschönen felsigen Küsten und Stränden. Darüber hinaus lädt die reizvolle Horseshoe Bay zum Baden ein. Etwas weiter die Küste hinauf von Laggers Point befindet sich ein historisches Gefängnis, das Historic Trail Bay Gaol. Jetzt ein Ruinenanbau-Museum darüber, dass in diesem Gefängnis deutsche Kriegsgefangene aus den Jahren 1914-18 untergebracht waren. Die meisten dieser Kriegsgefangenen kehrten nach diesem Krieg nicht nach Deutschland zurück. Alles in allem ein gelungener Abschluss unserer 3-wöchigen Tour. Dann fahren wir den Macleay River entlang nach Kempsey, um den Pacific HWY zu nehmen und in Taree zu unserer Basis in Harrington abzubiegen.

Abo history (facts) 1988 is characteristic of Campbell Jnr's narrative style using cartoon-like frames to depict an Aboriginal version of Australian history. Poignantly, this history of Australia was painted in 1988, the 200th anniversary of European settlement in the country. The frames, read from top left to right, tell the story of the arrival of the first 'tall ships' into pristine Indigenous environs: the coming of the white men on horses, the battle over Indigenous lands and the clearing of forests for farming and raising cattle. The central row features the era of government-run missions and reserves, representing a time in the artist's own youth, growing up at the Burnt Bridge Aboriginal Mission outside Kempsey in rural northern New South Wales. Next is the account of Aboriginal people being moved from traditional life, from their seasonal humpies, to permanent dormitories; the rationing of food and basic supplies; tilling the land under the overseer; and mixing with whites fishing and hunting in the Macleay River. In the lower four frames the artist shows compelling scenes of the effect of colonisation: the denial of blacks from entering the local swimming pool; having to show a 'dog tag' to be served alcohol at a bar; [1] segregated at the cinema; the burning of the mission houses in protest over substandard conditions; the high incidence of incarceration; and deaths in custody of Aboriginal youth.
The painting's background patterning, figurative elements, colours and stylistic conventions are based on traditional Ngaku clan designs found on boomerangs and shields, while the 'red 'tie', or oesophagus, on all human and animal figures is a symbol of life.
Avril Quaill
[1] A 'dog tag' was an official certificate of exemption that allowed some Aboriginal people access to certain rights enjoyed by white Australians.

Homes destroyed as bushfire emergency ravages NSW and Queensland | ABC News

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) has issued emergency warnings for four separate blazes, which are all burning within about 100km of each other in the state's north.
The fires are at Tenterfield, Drake, Busbys Flat and Jackadgery, with nearly 1,000 firefighters expected to work through the night in a bid to control them.
