The Kalkadoon People, also known as the Kalkatungu, Kalkatunga, or Kalkadungu, ruled what is called the Emu Foot Province and have been living on these lands for over 40 thousand years. The Kalkadoon People owned vast tracts of land extending from McKinley’s Gap in the east where they joined the Goa tribe of the Winton district to Gunpowder Creek which was the territory of the Waggaboongas. On the southern side of their territory the Kalkadoons were touched upon by the Pitta-Pitta tribe of the Boulia district, and on the northern side by the Mittakoodi of the Fort Constantine country.
The Kalkadoons would mark their territory boundaries with an emu or cranes foot that was either painted onto rocks and trees or carved into the hard granite rock. This was also a warning for other Aboriginal clans not to pass these boundaries.
The Kalkadoon (Kalkatungu) are descendants of an Indigenous Australian tribe living in the Mount Isa region of Queensland. Their forefather tribe has been called 'the Elite of the Aboriginal warriors of Queensland'. In 1884 they were massacred at "Battle Mountain" by settlers and police.
The first Europeans to visit the area were explorers Burke and Wills who crossed the Cloncurry River in 1861. Though their journals make no mention of the tribe, their passing through is said to have been recorded in Kalkatungu oral history, and in their language they coined the term walpala (from 'white feller') to denote Europeans. Three parties sent out to search for Burke and Wills, led respectively by John McKinlay, William Landsborough, and Frederick Walker, passed through the general area. Walker, a former commander of the Dawson native police, shot 12 natives dead and wounded several more, just to the north east of Kalkatungu territory.
Another early European settler, Edward Palmer, who was described by George Phillips as 'one of that brave band of pioneer squatters who in the early sixties swept across North Queensland with their flocks and herds, settling, as if by magic, great tracts of hitherto unoccupied country', settled on the edge of Kalkatungu country in 1864, at Conobie, on the western bank of the Cloncurry River. Decades later, Palmer described the natives as a peculiar people of which little was known. Palmer was critical of the use of native police and interested in indigenous tribes. His station lands did not cover any Kalkatungu sacred sites, he did not object to their presence in the vicinity, and found no problem in his relations with the Kalkatungu. He tried to learn their language. Ernest Henry arrived in 1866, discovering, with the assistance of Kalkatungu guides, copper deposits the following year, and founded the Great Australia Mine. He successfully enlisted some Kalkatungu people to work one of these mines. A short attempt at settlement by W. and T. Brown at Bridgewater in 1874 experienced, like Palmer, no difficulties with the indigenous owners of the land.
The Scottish settler Alexander Kennedy then took up land in the area in 1877. He had managed, since his arrival in 1861, to accumulate land holdings of some 4,800 sq. miles, holding 60,000 cattle, and established himself in a residence he built, called Buckingham Downs. Kennedy is thought to have begun the troubles with the native peoples of the area by instigating murderous assaults on the Kalkatungu. Iain Davidson describes him as 'the man who led the destruction of the tribes of North West Central Queensland.'
The traditional white heroic narrative version of what then occurred drew on the account provided by Sir Wilmot Hudson Fysh in 1933. According to this version, the Kalkatungu was by nature a hostile and bellicose tribe, exceptionally brave with 'primitive' military cunning and guerilla-like tactics of strategic withdrawals to the mountains to evade reprisals for their savagery. They were eventually vanquished and broken after a last stand against men like Alexander Kennedy.

The Bird Family tried everything they could to make ends meet. They gave up going to the movies, their cell phones, cable TV and internet service. They sold their cars and rode the bus. They sold eggs on the side for extra income. They cut their grocery bills by eating like, well, birds. But in the end the bank still took their nest.
Fortitude Valley opened its first post office in 1864. It acquired a telegraph office in 1877. The telephone was invented by American Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. On the 28th of January 1878, the first successful experiment with the new telephone system was made in Queensland when a successful call was put through from Brisbane to Ipswich. Brisbane’s (and Queensland’s) first telephone exchange opened at the Brisbane General Post Office (GPO, built 1872) in 1880. In 1886, Fortitude Valley became a recognised postal district with the appointment of its first Post Master, Mr T. J. Cook. The Fortitude Valley Post and Telegraph Office at 740 Ann Street were built in 1887. The first public telephone was opened in the Valley in July 1888. The telephone charge was sixpence for every five minutes of a telephone call.
Plans for an automatic telephone exchange to be built at Fortitude Valley were drafted in April 1941 by the Architect-in-Charge, Drawing Office in Canberra in the ACT. The plans and construction were overseen in Queensland by the Works Director of the Commonwealth Department of the Interior, Mr HW Barker. While World War 2 (WWII) had been raging for two and a half years, the impact on Brisbane had been minimal. Thus the planning for a new Brisbane automatic telephone exchange was conducted at a leisurely, almost peace-time conditions pace. There was no urgency placed on the construction of the new telephone exchange, for at that time, the centre of Australia’s war effort was Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra with Brisbane relegated as a training base with a small garrison of mainly support staff.
The chosen site for the new telephone exchange was in Ballow Street, Fortitude Valley, behind the Fortitude Valley Post Office. During the 1920’s, Fortitude Valley’s importance had grown as new industries were established in the suburb. These included a new printing works and offices for the Truth and Sportsman newspaper, a bakery complex for Automatic Bakery and a car assembly plant and service garage for General Motors Limited. By the 1930’s, Fortitude Valley, with its collection of large department stores, had become Brisbane’s second most-important shopping precinct after Queen Street in the City. Subsequently, the Fortitude Valley Post Office was one of the busiest post offices in Brisbane, exceeded only by the GPO at 261 Queen Street and, possibly by the South Brisbane Post and Telegraph Office at 472 Stanley Street, South Brisbane. As the City and South Brisbane (built circa 1926) had existing automatic telephone exchanges then Fortitude Valley was the obvious site for the new exchange.
Responsibility for the building of the new automatic exchange rested with the Commonwealth Government’s Post Masters General Department. The building plans were completed on the 22th of April 1941. The building was designed by Architect in Charge of the Commonwealth Government’s Works Director (Queensland). The land that was the proposed site of the new building was in private ownership. James Campbell & Sons Ltd had subdivision 4 of Block 14 of Lot 73 (18.3 perches). Hector Stribling had resubdivision 2 of subdivision 2 of Block 14 of Lot 73 plus resubdivision 1 of subdivision 7 of Lot 74 (20.88 perches). Hector with Harold Archibald Stribling had subdivions 1 and 3 and resubdivision 1 of subdivision 2 of Block 14 of Lot 73 (1 rood, 5.58 perches). The allotments were appropriated by the Commonwealth Government on the 15th of July 1940 through its “The Real Property (Commonwealth Titles) Act of 1924”. The Commonwealth Government was to finally purchase these allotments in the immediate post-War period. Subdivision 4 of Block 14 of Lot 73 was obtained on 1 August 1946. Subdivision 1 and 3 and resubdivision 1 of subdivision 2 of Block 14 of Lot 73 were obtained on the 30th of July 1947. Subdivions 1 and 3 and resubdivision 1 of subdivision 2 of Block 14 of Lot 73 plus resubdivision 1 of subdivision 4 of Block 14 of Lot 73 were obtained on the 24th of September 1951.
Due to wartime shortages in building materials and skilled labour, the commencement of the construction of the Fortitude Valley Telephone Exchange was delayed. On the 8th of December 1941, Australia entered the Pacific War against Japan. On the 22nd of December 1941, the Pensacola convoy reaches Brisbane delivering the first US service personnel to be based in Brisbane. Major-General Julian F. Barnes became the first commander of the US Forces in Australia (USFIA) with his HQ at Lennon’s Hotel, Brisbane. On the the 30th of March 1942, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff established a new command structure covering Australia. This was the South-West Pacific Area (SWPA) command headed by US General Douglas MacArthur. On the 20th of July 1942, MacArthur transferred his SWPA command HQ from Melbourne to Brisbane. He had preferred Townsville but it lacked the required facilities. During 1942 - 1943, the US forces expanded their operations in Brisbane either through the requestioning of existing properties or through the construction of new facilities.
In Fortitude Valley, the US Army had its 383rd Medical Service detachment, a US Army Air Force air freight receiving depot at 47 Alfred Street, the 5th Air Force service command at 111 Constance Street, an Ordnance and Enlistment Depot on St Pauls Terrace. Nearby at Newstead and New Farm, the US Navy had various training centres, a fleet Post Office and Public Works shop, the Headquarters of the US Brisbane Naval Base, 134th Ships Maintenance Office, the Naval Officers Club in Oxlade Drive, an USN dispensary and shore patrol office, a submarine base at the New Farm wharves and Camp New Farm at New Farm Park, while the US Army had a photographic unit based at Newstead House. Also close to Fortitude Valley was the US Army camp at Victoria Park in Gregory Terrace at Spring Hill.
The US Forces laid their own phone lines to connect their numerous Brisbane facilities and even produced a separate Brisbane telephone directory for their forces. With both the US and Australian forces making extensive use of telephone communication in Brisbane, there was an obvious need to complete the automatic telephone exchange planned for Ballow Street. The first mention, in the Queensland Post Office Directories, of the Fortitude Valley Telephone Exchange, appears in the 1944 edition. As each edition was published the year after a survey was conducted then the Fortitude Valley Telephone Exchange must have been completed in 1943.

On 28 January 1878, the first successful experiment with the new telephone system was made in Queensland when a successful call was put through from Brisbane to Ipswich. Brisbane’s (and Queensland’s) first telephone exchange opened at the Brisbane General Post Office in 1880. As technology improved the automatic telephone exchange was established. In 1925 the first automatic telephone exchange in Queensland was installed at South Brisbane, with the Brisbane Central Exchange in the General Post Office Building becoming automatic in 1929.
The early twentieth century was a time of civic development for Chermside. The school building was constructed in 1900. A police station opened in 1904 and a School of Arts was formed in 1909 and their hall became the local library and branch of the Government Savings Bank.
After the First World War a number of war veterans moved to Chermside and the local population grew, influencing the subsequent development in the area. In 1901 the population of the district was 649, by 1933 it had risen to 2319.
After the Second World War, Chermside developed into a trendy, new suburb that attracted a number of Mater Prize Homes. The suburb was chosen as the site of the first public hospital to be built after the war, when the Chermside Tuberculosis Chest Clinic (now Prince Charles Hospital) opened in 1954.
The post-war development in the Chermside district consisted of large estates, both housing commission, war service homes and private estates, being built in Wavell Heights, Chermside and Kedron. In 1947 Chermside had a population of 4435 people and by 1954 this had risen to 14 702 people. As the population of the Chermside District increased in the post-war period the need for communication infrastructure became apparent. Prior to the construction of the Chermside Telephone Exchange, the area had had telephone services connected through the Albion Telephone Exchange. However, with the increased demand for efficient communication services a new automatic telephone exchange was proposed for Chermside.
In 1949, as a direct response to the increase in the district’s population a makeshift automatic telephone exchange was established on the corner of Mermaid Street and Gympie Road. The initial exchange was housed in a ‘decommissioned’ United States Army timber hut, previously used at the ‘Chermside Army Camp’. This automatic telephone exchange was viewed by the telephone authority as temporary.
In the early 1950s plans were drawn up by the Commonwealth Government Department of Works, Queensland Branch for the construction of a permanent automatic telephone exchange on Mermaid Street. The large brick building was to be built on a vacant site on Mermaid Street. The construction of the Chermside exchange was part of a national push for improved telephonic infrastructure throughout the country. Specifically, Queensland was allocated almost £8 million for this work with £2 million of this to be used for the construction of new automatic telephone exchanges throughout the State. As far back as 1946 these improvements were being planned with an emphasis on rural infrastructure. In September 1946 the Courier Mail reported that “New automatic telephone exchanges would be built soon at Toowong, Valley, Camp Hill, Ashgrove, Chermside…”.
In February 1951 a £31 000 contract was given to K.D Morris and Sons, builders, for the construction of the new brick automatic telephone exchange for Chermside. In 1965 an extension was made to the telephone exchange in response to the district’s growth.
The Chermside Automatic Telephone Exchange is important in demonstrating the district’s need for improved telephonic infrastructure in the post-war period as the area’s population expanded dramatically. The design of the building is reflective of 1950s civic construction.

Between 1962 and 1964 Mount Isa’s population grew from 14,000 to 15,000, making the town the fastest growing in Queensland. New stores, small manufacturing, service businesses, and factories were opening up and building approvals reached a record high. In April 1964 the Department of Works called for tenders to build a new automatic telephone exchange and trunk line building in Isa Street to cater for the ever increasing number of telephone subscribers. K.D.Morris and Sons Pty Ltd were awarded the contract and work started in July 1964. The building was designed to consist of two storeys, one on ground level and a second on a lower level taking advantage of the sloped site, constructed of concrete blocks with air-conditioning and a landscaped garden along the street front. The building was handed over on the 6th of April 1965 at a cost of $141,655. In May 1966 the installation of the equipment for the new exchange started under the supervision of E.G.P. Watson, with up to thirty technicians involved in the project. When the new exchange was switched over on Sunday the 26th of November 1967, it provided 2,000 lines and the total cost had amounted to $600,000. The manual telephone trunk exchange was brought into service in early 1968. The official opening ceremony was held on the 13th of December 1967, performed by Robert Cummin Katter, Federal Member for Kennedy.

The Boise River Diversion Dam is a diversion dam on the Boise River in the U.S. state of Idaho, 7 miles (11 km) southeast and upstream of Boise in Ada County. Completed in 1909, it is operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The diverted water fills the concrete New York Canal, the primary irrigation channel for Ada and Canyon counties.
In March 1906, the Utah Fire Proofing Company began work on the Boise River Diversion Dam with the provision that the structure would be completed within one year. It soon became apparent that the dam would not be finished on time. With little experience in such endeavors, Utah Fire Proofing failed to provide adequate foremen for the project.[citation needed] At least nineteen superintendents worked on the dam and their incompetence led to an extraordinary turnover in labor.[citation needed] Inclement weather and flooding caused at least two months' worth of delays and forced the crews to rebuild part of the structure. By April 16, 1907, the dam was only 41% complete. It would take another year and a half before the diversion works were ready to unload into the New York Canal. The company eventually lost $90,000 on the contract. And to make matters worse in March 1909, a log foreman "maliciously" removed the boom above the dam and allowed timber roll over the embankment causing $73,000 worth of damage. Yet when the structure was completed it worked famously. The Diversion Dam is 68 feet (21 m) high and 500 feet (152 m) in length with an overall capacity of 42,815 cubic feet per second (1,212 m3/s).
Powerhouse[edit]
To provide power for the construction of Arrowrock Dam upstream, Reclamation retrofitted the Diversion Dam with a small powerhouse.[3] Finished in 1912, the plant’s three generators produced 1,500 kilowatts of electricity for Arrowrock’s camp, sawmills, and giant cement mixers. The Allis-Chalmers 725 horsepower (541 kW) turbines were the first in the world to be built with a vertical shaft design. Along with the power lines, government forces hung a two way phone cable to connect Arrowrock with the outside world. In 1976, the power plant was added to the National Register of Historic Places. After being refurbished by the Bonneville Power Administration in 2002, it is now on ready reserve status and occasionally provides surplus power during times of peak demand. Special care was made to maintain the historic qualities of the powerhouse. The original governors, slate control panels, transformers, overhead crane, and generator housings, although no longer functional, were retained for historic purposes.

Wales's contrversial loss at the Rugby World Cup was not the reason for my absence. On that day, workmen working on the road outside our house managed to sever our phone cable - no internet until now.

I don't know which one I like most so I just posted five of these photos. So this is my new Beloit 12 wifi speaker which works through air play. I have a Bose Soundlink Mini, but this thing I like better. Well, for the obvious reasons, but that doesn't mean the little Bose won't get usage. The Bose is quite a little bit smaller and sounds almost as nice as this, so for a small package I can more easily take the Bose places and it's not that the Bose is bluetooth, where this is wifi, but still portable. I can just look my cell phone cable to this when taking it places. The details in music are just incredible in this little package! My first Bang and Olufsen speaker!
Warren, Connecticut. This leaf came from a large eastern cottonwood tree that fell out of the woods south of our garden and got caught in the power lines. It was large enough so it deflected the lines a good 10 feet and I was sure we'd have a disaster with it falling on a passing car and live power lines flailing around, not to mention we'd lose power, phone, cable. However, a crew came and cleaned it all up, leaving me some nice looking leaves I'd never really seen before.
compare my wordpress article flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/skype/ - in old movies we liked the moment, when the gangster destroyed the phone cable, pulling it out off the wall - lost times... "Those were the days my friend, .... we thought they'd never end ...." (Mary Hopkin)
My poor crab apple ... it lost a branch in high winds a couple of months ago and now it is showing a large fungus. Although it is small, we are now waiting for a calm day to carefully dismantle the tree as it is near power and phone cables.
I'll probably only take off the higher branches as the rest of the standing tree can be used by wildlife.

We have lost our connection with Eastlink again. Each time their cable breaks they move it farther north and leave it resting on the ground. Each time I point out that is only a temporary fix. This has happened 5 times. They initially said they would send someone out this afternoon (7 January 2016), then phoned (our cell phone from a different supplier) to say he, Kelly, would talk to his manager and get back to us. The day ended with no call back and no service visit. Arrgh.

GUYS I KNOW.
IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT A SKYLINE.
BUT CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE IT IS?
I HAD MATHS REVISION AND ART HOMEWORK TO DO.
THIS IS A BAD MONTH FOR A PROJECT.
I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS
Ok so I was tagged by THIS lovely person, Ellie and THIS lovely person, Katherine
So the challenge is to write your 4 favourite songs then explain why they mean so much to you. I wanted to do this because sometimes a person's music speaks louder than their words do, and music means different things to different people. For some, it's something to pass the time, for others, it's something to take their minds off the rest of the world. I fit into the latter category.
#1 Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I just honestly love this song. The lyrics speak out for most people and if I'm on my own listening to music and this comes on I will just cry and cry and cry some more until it's over. Yes, I'm VERY EMOTIONAL when it comes to this song.
#2 Greenday - American Idiot:
One nation controlled by the media, information age of hysteria, it's calling out to idiot America.
I grew up with this song, I guess. I've been listening to it for as long as I can remember, and once my dad explained the meaning of the song to me, (read THIS if you're interested) I just became fascinated with it. :)
#3 The Punch Brothers - Dark Days
Mother, listen to my heart, just as one beat ends, another starts, you can hear no matter where you are.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs from the Hunger Games soundtrack and I've loved it since I first heard it. It's also my favourite so yeah :D
OH MY THIS IS SO DIFFICULT
#4 Coldplay - Yellow
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones, turn into something beautiful, and you know, for you I'd bleed myself dry.
Ok so THIS SONG is just beautiful and gorgeous and pretty and lovely and oh dear I love it so much. This is the song that I want played for my first dance at my wedding :D IT JUST BRINGS OUT ALL OF MY EMOTIONS.
Darkday has a keen eye for finding anything urbexy in a almost completely empty Big Shed. Here she has found a bizarre collection of maybe phone cables that were spewing out with a lock out tag on the top....
Sky HD + Thomson DSI8215 Satellite Receiver 160gb with PSU Power Supply Upgrade
I have just upgraded to Sky-Q and so both my Sky+ HD (3D Anytime+) and this Sky HD + satellite receiver are now superfluous to my needs. The latter is in top condition and was working just fine right up to the point that I replaced it with the Sky+ HD (3D Anytime+) a couple of years ago.
It comes with a new power cable, the original Sky remote control and a new coaxial television cable. It does not include a phone cable or SCART cable. The successful bidder may consider replacing the remote control for a new unit as these tend to wear out over time.
This is a Thomson unit and, when I was still using it, I had the PSU Power Supply Upgrade done, and so you should not have to worry about the failure of the cheap components that originally came with the satellite receiver.
The unit comes in its original box and packaging, all of which is now just taking up valuable storage space. It seems a shame to just toss it in the bin and so its time to move it on to someone who's actually going to use it.

Require a key to get into your house?
"The use of passwords goes back to ancient times. Sentries guarding a location would challenge for a password. They would only allow a person in if they knew the password. In modern times, passwords are used to control access to protected computer operating systems, mobile phones, cable TV decoders, automated teller machines (ATMs), etc. A typical computer user may require passwords for many purposes: logging in to computer accounts, retrieving email from servers, accessing files, databases, networks, web sites, and even reading the morning newspaper online.
Despite the name, there is no need for passwords to be actual words; indeed passwords which are not actual words are harder to guess (a desirable property), but are generally harder for users to remember (an undesirable property). Note that password is often used to describe what would be more accurately called a passphrase. Passcode is sometimes taken to imply that the information used is purely numeric, such as the personal identification number (PIN) commonly used for ATM access. Passwords are generally short enough to be memorized."

Part of Net Neutrality rage is about the high cost and lack of choice of phone, cable, internet, mobile and other information services. People perceive any change in the rules governing the Internet as moves by a corrupt government to benefit corporate market manipulators. Changing the system to increase competition, lower rates and improve customer choice is what people want. Call it Net Neutrality, call it Internet Freedom, in the end people can't afford to pay for the Triple Play and the mobile plan and they feel ripped off.

We have existed in this world for a long time, shaping it to our needs with the elements around us. Human intelligence has flourish with time, but it million of years of learning experience that has dawn upon us, that makes us what we are now.
We used stones, to carve our pots and tools, then came the metal age, its been slow and steady ride till we have created the artificiality of life surround us. We do what we are told to do, we use what they tell us to us, our own inner instinct and the connection with nature is long gone, using all those cosmetics, refreshments and other enjoyments of life which are not even made by us but rather some other country.
In these conditions, the urge to know the sense of timelessness wake up in the minds of searching souls. they want to be out of the ordinary, they want to travel in time, they are the lovers of the past, not the future. This may be the future with all the elements we have created do not seem to be the enchanting one.
There is a place where time can stand still for you, where the traditions still hold their importance and culture is flourishing. From the architecture to the daily life, everything has a sense of timeless for those who seek it. A place where once you enter you do not want to leave. Where people return your smiles back to you. Where they live in perfect peace and harmony. The place is Hunza Valley.
With all the mobile phones, Cable TVs, and outside words attempting to degrade the living style of these wonderful people, the culture & heritage of Hunza is striving to find its path into the 21st Century.

I don't know which one I like most so I just posted five of these photos. So this is my new Beloit 12 wifi speaker which works through air play. I have a Bose Soundlink Mini, but this thing I like better. Well, for the obvious reasons, but that doesn't mean the little Bose won't get usage. The Bose is quite a little bit smaller and sounds almost as nice as this, so for a small package I can more easily take the Bose places and it's not that the Bose is bluetooth, where this is wifi, but still portable. I can just look my cell phone cable to this when taking it places. The details in music are just incredible in this little package! My first Bang and Olufsen speaker!
