By the 1830s sheep numbers in Australia were increasing rapidly and graziers, or 'squatters' were moving inland from the coast and occupying the more readily accessible grazing lands of, the colonies. Capital from the United Kingdom was being invested in livestock grazing and increasing numbers of immigrants were arriving to take up sheep runs. Between 1841 and 1843, however, a severe financial depression occurred in the Australian colonies and the rapid expansion of the sheep industry came to an abrupt halt. Sheep prices had risen steeply as animals were sought to stock the new runs, but when the expansion was halted, surplus sheep were no longer needed and prices fell dramatically. At the same time English wool prices fell and this further exacerbated the situation of the graziers. Thereafter, until 1851, there was a period of consolidation and adaptation in the grazing industry. - Damien

YUMMY - lamingtons have arrived | Main | Colliding Worlds » --> Beyond the Backyard - Meaghan McEvoy 19/05/2009 Meaghan_mcevoy_2 Meaghan McEvoy’s story is a classic – in every sense of the word. The young Adelaide woman, who grew up near Birdwood in the Adelaide Hills, became “hooked on classic studies” at the University of Adelaide. Her love of the classics has taken her to high academic achievement, achieving her PhD at the University of Oxford. She is now based in Rome, living and working in what sounds like some sort of academic nirvana – the British School at Rome. The 891 Mornings team tracked her down for this interview with Matthew Abraham. Meaghan is a “classic” example of a Beyond the Backyarder, a South Australian doing interesting things in far off lands. - Damien

"Trying to avoid them interacting with other school children over the following seven days." Dr Pickin says anyone who suspects they may have contracted swine flu should phone the hotline on 1800 358 362 and not visit their doctor or go to hospital emergency wards. - Damien

Microsoft: Vista UAC designed to 'annoy users' Tom Espiner, ZDNet UK 14 April 2008 10:55 AM Tags: actions, apps, attack, cross, uac, kaspersky, user, prompt A Microsoft manager has said one of the security features in Vista was deliberately designed to "annoy users" in order to put pressure on third-party software makers to make their applications more secure. David Cross, a product unit manager at Microsoft, was the group program manager in charge of designing User Account Control (UAC), which, when activated, requires people to run Vista in standard user mode rather than having administrator privileges, and offers - Damien

The university says 'no' to Vista Print After much research, testing and consultation with schools and departments, the university’s Windows Steering Group has unanimously decided not to install the Windows Vista operating system on university owned computers. Why? Put simply, Vista offers the university no real advantages. It is no faster and no easier to use than Windows XP. In fact, many of the computers tested appeared to run noticeably slower with Windows Vista installed. Microsoft introduced a number of software improvements with Office 2007, which they released at the same time as Windows Vista. Office 2007 runs quite happily on Windows XP. You don't need Vista to benefit from the improvements made. - Damien
