The NSW State election of 1925 had the ‘riff raff of Southern Europe’ ducking for cover, and demonstrated how hard economic times let the racism genie out of the bottle.

In the early 1920s the economic base of the Richmond-Tweed region started to look pretty shaky. Post WW1 soldier settlement blocks had been created everywhere, substantially increasing the number of dairy farmers and fruit growers struggling to share the available pie. The banana industry collapsed in 1922 and the dairy industry started heading in the same direction. By early 1923 farmers and farm hands were starting to wander the countryside trying to earn a quid, with many of them having a go as ...

Gear ratios and continued fractions It is interesting to speculate how the first century B.C. designers of the Antikythera Mechanism were able to discover the excellent rational approximation 254/19 = 13.36842105 to the astronomical ratio 13.368267.. . The error is 0.00015, which corresponds to one part in 86,000. The most economical explanation is that in keeping records, early astronomers were struck by the almost exact duplication of the pattern of equinoxes and ...

THE RELEVANCE OF PALIOCHORA Paliochora is of great relevance on many levels. Some aspects of its significance are outlined below Research Significance At the local level, the project will produce information that will help to elucidate one of the most perplexing problems in the history of Kythera: why the area of Paliochora was not settled until ca. 1000 AD, and why it was abandoned some time after the sack, and why it remained abandoned thereafter.
QUESTIONS A thoughtful visitor meandering through the lanes of Paliochora stopping at one of the twenty-two churches identified within the town walls may ask: "Why does there appear to be more churches than houses in this town?" Standing on the edge of the precipice over looking Kako Lagadi, gazing over a landscape of twisted gullies, cliffs and derelict stone terraces the question asked is: "Who chose to build a town in a comer of the island, hidden from the sea, and why?".
