Jamberoo is a small picturesque village approx 11 km inland from Kiama on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia in the Municipality of Kiama. At the 2006 census, Jamberoo had a population of 935 people.
European history in the valley began in the early 19th century when the cedar-cutters moved through the rainforests gathering this valuable timber. Pioneer settlers followed in the early 1820s with William Davis receiving the first land grant in 1821, followed by John Ritchie and John Cullen shortly afterwards.
Michael Hyam was a property owner by the late 1830s and he laid out the private village of Jamberoo in 1841. The Main South Coast Road formed the northern boundary of his village and at the western end of the town he gave out lots for Protestant Churches. The Presbyterian church of St Stephen stands on the original lot. The Methodist church around the corner in Wyalla St is now the Uniting Church and still hosts services, while the land given to the Church of England, now Anglican Church of Australia has been sold off and the Anglican Church is located north of Hyams Creek on Tates Hill. The old Presbyterian, Anglican and Uniting cemeteries are still located on the original lots, although they have been closed to burials since at least the 1920s.
A sign outside the only fuel station in Jamberoo proclaims the town as the birthplace of co-operative dairy production in Australia. The first co-operative butter factory in Australia was begun at Jamberoo in 1884 adjacent to the old Main South Coast Road (now Jamberoo Road), 2 km from the Princes Highway and just west of Spring Creek and the monument marking the old toll gate. The location is better described as Kiama. An obelisk marks the spot.
In time, there were other butter factories: Woodstock and Wauchope which became the main factory in Factory Lane to the east of the town.
"Dedicated to the Chinese railroad workers who helped construct the Canadian Pacific railway through the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and British Columbia thus uniting Canada geographically and politically."
"From 1880 to 1885 seventeen thousand men from the province of Kwangtung (Guangdong), China, came to work on the Western section of the railway through the treacherous terrain of the Canadian Rockies. Far from their families, amid hostile sentiments, these men labour long hours and made the completion of the railway physically and economically possible."
"More than four thousand Chinese workers lost their during construction. With no means of going back to China when their labour was no longer needed, thousands drifted in near destitution along the completed track. All of them remained nameless in the history of Canada."
"We erect this monument to remember them." September 1989

There are times when you have to stand up for what you believe in.
For me 25th March 2017 was one of those times I did so - along with 100,000 or so others marching to show the British government that - whatever they claim - they do not speak for us (FWIW I regard myself as a patriot but not a nationalist, and consider the course that they are plotting to be irresponsible and dangerous. But YMMV, of course).
Our little group traveled up from Bournemouth with a coachload of folks from Dorset for Europe (www.facebook.com/groups/DorsetForEurope/), assembled at Pall Mall with everyone else, and then marched on Parliament. The police held back the start of the march by an hour as apparently it was a lot larger than they expected.
The atmosphere was relaxed, happy and determined, with police cars parked along the route being covered in daffodils in memory of the officer who lost his life outside Parliament just three days earlier.
When we reached Parliament Square there were the inevitable speeches (including a guest appearance by Patrick Stewart!), but not before a minutes silence for the victims of the attack.
Standing so close to where others had lost their lives was an incredibly humbling experience (for me at least) the right thing to do.
We are not afraid, and we stand together.
Uniting Church Second Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Sydney Road, Coburg, Melbourne.
The former Methodist Chapel, constructed in 1849 and extended at the north end shortly afterwards, is the earliest known surviving Methodist chapel in Victoria. This substantially intact building is constructed of bluestone with a sandstone facade facing south towards Bell Street. It is one of the earliest extant bluestone buildings in Victoria and amongst the State's earliest surviving religious buildings.
The former Methodist church, now the Uniting church, designed by T J Crouch, was officially opened on 24 December 1857 and is an early example of a Gothic style Methodist church in Victoria. The adoption of the Gothic style, a more traditional and churchly architectural idiom, reflects changes within the Methodist movement during the mid nineteenth century.
The building is of note for its unusual random rubble stonework of the walls. Quarrying of bluestone began in the area 1850s, and by 1875 there were 41 quarries in Coburg.
