.... The Bellambi estate. Renewal & removal Since 2024 Homes NSW, a department of the NSW Government, has been investigating and planning renewal projects for public housing in the Illawarra district, specifically in Bellambi, Crown St Wollongong, Gwynneville and Sandon Point Bulli. This page provides information on those projects and addresses the issue of public ownership options. The Sandon Pt, Bulli, development at 6-10 Southview St, comprises three blocks of public coastal land owned by the former Housing Commission which are being integrated into a consolidated, 2-3 story building which will house 13 units of public house. This is prime coastal land and the proposed building will have a major visual impact upon the present landscape. The Crown St, Wollongong, development comprises a former 1950s apartment building which will be upgraded to accommodate 120 public housing units. The plans for Bellambi and Gwynneville are still under development, though will likely r...

Jesus Christ - a chronology of God on Earth

Image
Jesus Christ / God: Chronology | Jesus in England | Jesus in India | Life of St Issa | Reincarnation | God & man I have come down from heaven (Jesus, John 6:42) The historical figure of Jesus Christ is nothing less than controversial. To Christians, Christ is God, the creator of all things and beyond understanding; to Muslims Christ is a mere prophet; to atheists, nobody in particular; and to some, Christ never actually existed, but is a pure fiction. The present writer believes in the first belief - that Christ is nothing less than God - an immortal, intelligent entity of infinite power, infinite ability and infinite existence. As such, the following chronology of the period in which Jesus Christ existed on planet Earth is based on descriptions in the Bible and other historical documents. It attempts to explain the various events as reported on, or held as beliefs in the modern era. It therefore reveals events in the life of Jesus Christ as both God ...

Frankenstein in early colonial Australia

 Frankenstein: Australia | Berry & Frankenstein | Victor Frankenstein confronts the monster. Frankenstein has nothing to do with Australia - right? Well yes, but ... Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is an international cultural phenomenon, moving beyond its notoriety as a classic of Gothic fiction from 1818, on into present day pop culture where reissues of the book and as film and video and performance piece on stage and in art remain prescient. Australia, as one of the second-tier Western societies has obviously fallen under the influence of the monster and the man. " It's Alive! " can be heard on the streets of Sydney just as much as in London or New York or Paris or Mumbai. So let's see if there is anything of import connecting the Antipodean continent to Mary Shelley's dark tale of death and artificial rebirth. ---------------------  Snippets Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein was first published anonymously in London around March 1...

The Leftards - The Cult of Ziontology

The Leftards: Bandcamp | Cult of Ziontology | Discogs | Facebook | Gig history | Instagram | Vocalizing angst Way back in 2024 I made it known I was a big fan of the Illawarra punk band The Leftards when I did a blog listing a lot of their gigs, film clips and posters - a kind of visual history, without having to actually speak to any of the members of the band! I even obtain one of their t-shirts, and wear it proudly to this day. Unfortunately, I had only ever experienced part of a single live gig. That was one sunny afternoon back in the day (late 2010s?) at the Port Kembla Servo, when, whilst waiting for somebody nearby - I can't recall who or where - I stood behind a wire fence and looked on as this band in the distance, with a shoeless guitarist who I knew from the local Nippers club, performed a couple of songs. They reminded me of the Ramones - short, fast, to the point, no bullshit. Coming forward a couple of years later to 2024, as a former ...

A colonial connection The classic Australian film Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938) was partially filmed at the historic Gledswood homestead, Camden, west of Sydney. Dating from 1816, the property is a significant early colonial remnant and well represents the aged state of many Australian properties in the years following the Depression of the early 1930s. Though located relatively close to the metropolis of Sydney, Gledswood was able to represent a typical country squatter residence and farm, in line with the main...
