Bubonic plague, otherwise known as the ‘Black Death’, has followed a cyclical course throughout world history. During the 19th century sporadic outbreaks of plague occurred in various parts of Australia, but the epidemic of 1900-1909 which claimed 219 lives in Queensland alone, was by far the most serious in Australian history. Plague is caused by a bacillus found in fleas which normally feed on rats. Poor sanitation, sub-standard housing and high population densities are contributory factors in the spread of plague among humans, and these were chronic problems facing many Queensland ports in 1900 when plague first appeared.
The Queensland Government responded to the crisis by appointing Dr Nathaniel Burnett (Bertie) Ham as the State’s first Commissioner of Public Health, with his recommendations enforced by health officers stationed in Queensland’s major coastal centres. Bounties were paid for dead rats and professional rat-catchers were employed by municipal authorities. Ham largely conducted his campaign through tight quarantine controls, fumigation and the destruction of infected materials, but the battle against plague was finally won through major sanitary improvements and the demolition of sub-standard buildings. Constant vigilance was still required, as a lapse in protective measures led to yet another outbreak of bubonic plague in 1921-1922. On the latter occasion 63 people lost their lives in Queensland.

Cet édifice de douze étages est constitué de différentes couches de béton de recyclage multicolore. La façade a été construite avec originalité. L’harmonie des couleurs flamboyantes contraste avec l’environnement naturel de la forêt autour et à l’intérieur de l’édifice. Le toit est constitué d’un jardin de tilleuls et d’érables. Une aire de jeux et un fleuve artificiel se situent en haut du bâtiment. Un restaurant avec un bar à cocktails se trouve dans la tour sud-est, et un café est situé dans la tour d’en face.

Map of Greentree Village in Evesham N.J. which I filled in the sections of the development and the years they were built.
One note added to the map.
This web site documents the access sites on the Wabash River from Huntington, Indiana to the confluence with the Ohio River. It includes pictures and descriptions of the access sites and their amenities.
We personally visited the access sites. The first half of the river (from Huntington to Tecumseh) was done by boat. We then drove to the access sites on the second half of the river (from Terre Haute to the confluence with the Ohio).
ABOUT THE WABASH RIVER
The Wabash has always been Indiana's most famous river. Occupying the heartland of the state, the river drains two-thirds of the 92 counties (over 33,000 square miles) as it flows over 475 miles to its confluence with the Ohio below Mount Vernon. The river rises in Ohio near Fort Recovery and flows for only thirty miles before it becomes entirely an Indiana River. In addition to being Indiana's official state river, the Wabash is also the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi.
It is a river of many faces and moods. At times it occupies a huge valley which was carved by a glacial runoff but it also flows through a partially filled valley formed before the glacial advances. In its upper stretches the Wabash moves across the fertile, flat land in a narrow, shallow trench.
A trip down any other river in the state will not give as complete a view of Indiana as the Wabash. You will not experience a pristine natural environment (except in isolated sections) but you will see Indiana today and a glimpse of the past. The river is usually muddy and slow moving as it drains much of Indiana's fertile farmland. This factor alone should not deter you from trying the Wabash. The upper end of the Wabash is very shallow with numerous log jams clogging the river and making navigation of the river tiring in all but high water (and then it may be dangerous).

In this version, the Peninsula would have been reached by Bayshore, and BART would have run to Daly City through the Twin Peaks Tunnel and a new parallel tunnel.

After five years of planning, the Runcorn Busway shown in orange was purpose built in 1971 as part of the development of Runcorn new town. It was completed in 1978. The new town stands up the hill on the south bank of the Mersey overlooking Runcorn old town, with its distinctive road and rail bridges across to Widnes on the north bank. The busway was built to a figure of eight design, enabling all residents to be within walking distance of the bus. This public transport concept has broken down over the years as Runcorn has expanded beyond its original design and car ownership has become more common.
In the centre at Halton Lea, formerly Shopping City, the bus way straddles the first phase of the shopping centre with separate high-level north and southbound platforms. Initially there was a lower regional bus station closed some years ago in favour of car parking. Longer distance services now also use the upper levels. Buses from outside the system can enter the busway and access the shopping centre. Services operate to Chester, Warrington and Liverpool from Halton Lea. A striking feature is the elevated section through Halton Lea where in a manner later replicated by the Docklands Light Railway in London the busway runs along a dedicated viaduct. Unlike later examples in Cambridge and Leigh, the system is unguided – the drivers still steer their buses. The busway is single lane but each stop has a passing lane to allow following buses to pass.
In parallel with Runcorn’s core Expressway dual carriageway network, The Busway was an integral part of the planning of one of Liverpool’s overspill new towns, to the east of established Runcorn. With bus stops in residential areas sited to maximise convenience compared to car use and parking, the bus was designed to be the mode of choice.
Maximum Busway driving speeds were designed for 40 mph, with priority signals where Busway intersected the local road network. Average bus operating speeds were said to be 50 per cent higher than on conventional roads. Core Busway services are operated by Crosville's successor Arriva North West’s circulars 1 and 2, each operating every five to seven minutes, One interesting feature of the Busway is that Saint Chadd’s, a large regional secondary school has its own dedicated bus bays.
Services on the northern leg of Busway (Astmoor) are now provided solely by longer distance services.
The Busway has seen its share of problems over the years. A small number of double decks have bashed bridges along the single deck only Busway. There have been a small number of crashes, including with private vehicles not supposed to be on Busway. By far the worst issue is anti-social behaviour after dark on an otherwise relatively isolated network seeing few evening services.
