Shot two days later than the previous test in very different conditions. Pre/post processing are the same as the previous test, with only minor tweaks to contrast. This technique is looking very promising, remembering that this is a single exposure. How many panoramas have you seen shot in similar conditions where the sky is pure white?
Only a quick stitch... the nadir patch needs work ;-)
[edit] Completed the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34823318@N06/4078355387/"final panorama. The amount of postprocessing required in terms of contrast and colour adjustment is much smaller than any of mey previous workflows which makes me very happy. The shadow detail in the door to the east iis a bit noisy, but considering how dark the passage is it's quite a good result for a single exposure.
Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

Flyer for auction of housing estate subdivision in Mount Waverley, 1951, with plan showing street names including Brand, Quaintance, St John Wood, Russell, High, Allister. Note that Russel Street is now named Armstrong Street, as explained in the Waverley Streets Database.
"Probably named after Jim Armstrong who worked on the property owned by Harry Russell Hore before subdivison. This street was originally shown as Russell St. on the subdivision plan and the Morgans 39th but the name was changed because of confusion with another Russell St, South East (off Forster Rd). QQQ. Lots at the western end formed part of the Pickwick estate."

Plants planted for leaves and regularly harvested. Musa balbisiana Colla (BBB Group) or Musa (BBB Group). Musaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Pisang galla, Pisang benggala, Pisang batu, Biu batu (Bali), Pisang klotok (Jawa; sharing name with Musa acuminata Colla (ABB Group) 'Pisang Awak', likely the seedy cultivar.), Kluai taanee, Kluai tani (Thai กล้วยตานี)], Balbis banana, Starchy banana, Mealy banana, Seedy banana, Wild starchy banana, Wild banana type B. A species of wild banana native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia and southern China that can grow to more than 8 m height. It is one of the progenators of modern cultivated bananas along with Musa acuminata. The species is also the primary genetic relative of B-genome bananas for breeding purposes. The fruit is considered inedible because of the seeds they contain, and often grown for its thick leaves for wrapping food and other uses. In Indonesia the rind of Pisang klotok is thinly sliced along with some of its interior flesh, mixed with other fruits and sauce, called rujak, and the part having the most seeds discarded. In Malaysia, except in the state of Kelantan (or perhaps other eastern states in Peninsular Malaysia), the plant is planted for its thick and resilient broad leaves and the young fruits sometimes harvested for making 'acar' (chutney). The ripe fruit is very sweet and occasionally eaten raw while the hard black seeds spitted out, but most liberally swallowed.

The vernacular name 'Pisang batu' may also refer to other hybrids and cultivars. Phylogeny is now the methodology used for the classification of the complex Musaceae.
1. Pisang batu (Malaysia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABBB Group) cv. 'Tiparot'
2. Pisang batu (Indonesia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABB Group) cv. 'Bluggoe' or ?"Pisang kates"

With an economy dependent upon agricultural exports, it seemed appropriate that most of Australia's scientific research should be concentrated in areas related to primary industry, though government support was sometimes slow in coming. William Farrer's rescue of the wheat industry has entered our national mythology. CSIR, Australia's national research organisation, was established within this framework - mirroring the economic relationship with Britain. Just as Australia would concentrate on the production of raw materials, importing manufactured goods from Britain, so Australian science would focus on primary industry related research, importing theoretical developments. However, David Rivett, CSIR's visionary leader, always sought to balance such utilitarian work with fundamental research. In areas like wool research, Australia gradually moved beyond work focussed on the health of sheep, to sheep genetics and wool products - making international contributions in both areas.
