As an architecture student, I greatly appreciate the fact that ASU values architecture. Good architecture encourages curiosity, interaction, exploration (here quite literally!), and so much more. Lattie Coor Hall, designed by local architecture firm Jones Studio, is a fantastic building on ASU's Main Campus. The university's appreciation for good architecture is part of what makes it excellent.

Clydesdales, a Scottish breed, were introduced to Australia in the 1800s and quickly became popular for their strength and work ethic. They were used for various tasks, including pulling carts, plows, and other agricultural equipment.
Dominant Heavy Breed:
By the 1850s, Clydesdales had become the predominant heavy breed in Australia, surpassing other draught breeds.
The Commonwealth Clydesdale Horse Society:
In 1918, the Commonwealth Clydesdale Horse Society was formed to promote and preserve the breed in Australia.
Decline and Revival:
While Clydesdales were once widespread, their numbers declined with the advent of mechanization and trucks. However, the breed has been maintained and even revived by dedicated breeders, such as the Ehrich family in the Scenic Rim region.
Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular:
This event, held annually in the Scenic Rim region, celebrates the Clydesdale's heritage and showcases the best of the breed.
Clydesdales in Art and Culture:
The Clydesdale's contribution to Australian history is also reflected in art and culture, with the heavy horse being a common subject in paintings and other artistic media.
Modern Relevance:
While no longer the primary workhorse, Clydesdales continue to be used in various roles, including carriage rides, shows, and even as riding horses
Port Broughton. Whilst exploring the northern regions in 1839 Edward John Eyre named the Broughton River after his friend William Broughton the first Anglican Bishop of Australia. Broughton served as archdeacon of Australia from 1829-34, and then as the first Anglican Bishop of Australia, not NSW, from 1836-1853. By 1850 there were five Anglican bishops in Australia and the title of Bishop of Australia was dropped. Pastoralists were not attracted to the area around Port Broughton as the bush was so dense and required felling for grazing. However, the area was part of large pastoral runs held by the Bowmans and others. After the passing of the Strangways Act in 1869 for closer settlement, the area was surveyed and the government chose a site in 1871 on Mundoora Arm for a new port. Captain Henry Dale was chosen by the government to name the port and he named it Port Broughton. The township was surveyed in October 1871 and blocks sold in 1872. The rest of the Hundred of Mundoora was surveyed and offered for sale in 1877. Channel beacons were erected in 1871 to guide the ships and the first jetty constructed in 1874 at a cost of £1,200. Dredging of the channels began in 1877 and continued off and on for many years. The big boost to the fledgling port was the construction of a railway from Port Broughton to Mundoora in 1878. This opened up this area to farmers as they could then transport their grain easily to the port. Unfortunately for Port Broughton the railway was not extended further into the hinterland and it was never converted from a horse railway to a steam engine line. It carried passengers as well as freight. One of the carriages is depicted below. A new carriage built in New York city was used on the line from 1907 and its first arrival at Mundoora is also shown. Broughton never became a rail head port like Port Pirie or Port Augusta but the government considered options. In 1886 it considered an immediate extension of the railway through the Barunga Ranges to Redhill and beyond to Koolunga. In 1891 the government was considering extending the line to Blyth. But alas for Port Broughton none of these routes were ever built. The first passenger carriage on the Mundoora line was called the “ Pie Cart” and it had been used on the orginal Port Wakefield to Hoyleton rail service. The rail car service ceased in 1925 being replaced by a motorised charabanc service to the main railway line near Snowtown. The railway line was used for grain until 1939. It was disamantled in 1950. But the opening of the rail service from Redhill to Adelaide in 1925 saw the beginning of the decline of the port of Port Broughton. But the port brought new and different activities to the town. From 1910 until around 1915 kelp and seaweed( Posidonia Australia) from the bottom of the Mundoora Arm were dedged and then processed for marine fibres. Marine Fibres Ltd had their own factory, dredge, jetty and workforce of about ten people. The fibres were used for clothing, upholstery and mattresses when woven in with wool. The operations ceased in 1917. A small fishing fleet was established and after the ice works were built local catches of snook and whiting were shipped to Melbourne. For a while the town even had a butter factory. The ketches transporting wheat to Port Adelaide operated until the 1950s. The pretty aspect of the harbour and coastline brought tourists from Adelaide, espcially after the opening of the second storey of the Port Broughton hotel in 1910. Above all, the port handled grain so the town soon had a three storey flour mill owned by Darlings. It operated until 1914. The jetty also provided the ideal spot for the 1920 World War One memorial. The population of the town reached its first peak around 1901 when it had 400 people. Today it has almost 1,000 residents, many of them retirees. For some years it had its own newspaper. Reticulated water came from Beetaloo Reservoir in 1890 until being replaced by the Murray water from the Morgan-Whyalla pipeline in 1944. The first school opened in 1879 following the Free, Compulsory and Secular Education Act of 1875. A new school buiding opened in 1892 and is still used. In 1929 the school became a Higher Primary School altering to an Area School in 1960. Like most towns, the Institute was the first public hall available for social functions and events. It opened in 1888. It included a local library. Electricity was provided by a private company from 1926 until ETSA took it over in 1959. The first church in the town was the Primitive Methodist Church which opened in 1885. The porch was added in 1934. The Anglican Church of St Phillip followed soon after with an opening ceremony in 1889 but it was 1909 before the town got its own resident priest. The Catholic Church of St Margaret’s was consecrated in 1902. Apart from the school the other government services also were established in the early years. The first Post Office opened in 1873. It has a later addition to the orginal house style building. The police station was built in 1890. At the height of the temperance movement in the 1890s the town had a Coffee Palace to try and rival the hotel! The town Council was formed in 1892. Today the town has a population of over 900 people.
Pour Papa.
When my parents were here on vacation, my papa bought me a card (the one I'm reading in the shot). He didn't give it to me directly, but rather hid it under my day planner. It would have gone totally un-noticed by me would it not have been for Billy saying "uh. I think your dad hid something on your desk..."
I found it. and inside was a beautiful little booklet.
On the front, he wrote "P.S. In case I forgot!"
Did I tell you?
By Elizabeth Knapp
a message to a daughter
Now that you are almost grown I look back and ask myself:
Did I tell you?
Did I tell you all that I meant to tell you, all that I felt was important? Did I tell you or was it lost in the shuffle of our everyday lives, the busy full days when we taught and didn't know it. What did we teach? Was it STrong? Was it Good? Will it root you in something real that will allow you to grow with a frim and sound foundation?
Did I tell you...
Did I tell you to love? not with a fair-weather love, but with a love that accepts and cherishes unconditionally. Love not with a quick and passing love, but with a love that is a quiet peace within your heart.
Did I tell you to be thoughtful? Not to be a martyr or a doormat to be trod upon, but to be aware of other people and their needs. To meet others with awareness and within your own framework, be able to meet them halfway and, on occasion, go the other half joyfully.
Did I tell you to be courteous? Not to display empty manners with no meaning, but to live the courtesy born of caring. And to express this caring through the small formalities and customs born of the years.
Did I tell you to be bold? To be not afraid of the unknown, but to live life to the fullest and meet each new experience with joy and anticipation.
And did I tell you to be cautious? To temper your daring and sense of adventure with good judgment and consideration.
Did I tell you to serve other people if only in a small way? There is growth and satisfaction in being part of something larger than yourself and your life will be richer for knowing this.
Did I tell you to maintain a sense of the past? To recall and uphold all that is best and meaningful in our country and in our society. But never be afraid to speak out where you don’t believe or where there is room for improvement. Work for what you believe, but work in a positive way within a structure of order and reason.
Did I tell you to find a part of nature that speaks to you? Then know it intimately and well. For some it is a mountain peak, for some a windswept beach. Find your own and in it find your restoration.
Did I tell you to laugh, to dance, to sing? There is a lot in life that is hard, but take it as it comes and find the good... And make time to dance.
Did I tell you to be creative? To explore the seed within you. Find your creative spirit and let it grow.
And did I tell you the joy and challenge of being a woman. The joy of having a child, knowing and sharing a new life. The joy of making a home... the center, but not the limit for the lives of those you love. The joy of exploring a third dimension – a world of your own, discovering and fulfilling your own capabilities.
Did I tell you these things as we went along the way? If I did, I am humbly grateful. If I did not, then you must choose for yourself. If it has meaning, accept it and make it your own. If it does not, discard it. Your life is yours to build as you choose. And did I tell you…
I hope it will be a good life.
he signed it, Dady! XOX
yeah. it made me cry.
i'm all teary eyed again reading it over.
Love you Papa!
