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.

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.

At the end of July 2006, I took 10 days off work to tour British Columbia. At that point, I was about two years from retirement and I wanted to see for myself if retiring to the west coast could bring about a refreshing change in my life after spending more than 30 years in Ottawa. Specifically, I wanted to see what the Okanagan Valley had to offer because the area is reputed to be a magnet for retirees on account of its milder and dryer climate. I should add that I had never been to BC before, except to attend a few business meetings in Vancouver, so the trip was also very much about sightseeing and photography.
I flew into Vancouver, spent a few days visiting the city, then rented an SUV and went on a 3,000 km journey across the southern part of the province reaching eastward as far as the two very famous Canadian national parks, Jasper and Banff, both of which are situated in western Alberta. This map shows the roads that I followed with some reference points along the way (populated centres in blue; natural features in pink) to which I will be referring in this set. I travelled alone on this trip; so, there are no pictures of me, except one, and many of the photographs were taken from inside the car while I was driving (I had no problems with that, but in retrospect, it's really unsafe - not as bad as using your cell phone or texting, but still not a good idea - so my advice: don't do it!)
