Numinbah Valley is an area and suburb approximately forty-eight kilometres south west of the Gold Coast, in south eastern Queensland, Australia. Numinbah Valley covers approximately 116 square kilometres. The area is in the south-east part of Queensland and is part of the Gold Coast Hinterland. Numinbah Valley is the upper catchment for the Nerang River. As the name suggests, Numinbah Valley is a valley, with several elevated areas in it (Figure 14 and 13). The valley is well preserved, with only 10 percent of the area having been cleared of vegetation. Only one major road runs through the valley, it being the Nerang-Murwillumbah road (there are a few other roads which run off from this one, but they are for private use). 1.2 Background. …show more content…
It was last active about 23 million years ago and became extinct approximately 10 million years ago. Aborigines inhabited Numinbah Valley for approximately 9000 years. Due to low numbers and primitive technologies, Aborigines had next to no impact on Numinbah Valley. Despite Aborigines in the valley, the valley remained largely unexplored until the late 1800’s when timber cutters seeking valuable red cedar came into the valley. The timber resources in the area supported the families who farmed in the valley, and supplied timber for a number of local and regional saws mills. In present day, the major local industries (in descending order) in Numinbah Valley are agriculture, forestry and fishing, education and training, construction, and health care and social assistance. In the last consensus of 2011, 294 people lived in Numinbah
Barangaroo is an ambitious urban renewal project happening currently in Sydney. Since its approval in 2007, the Barangaroo project has been the focal point for groups such as Lend Lease to reestablish Sydney’s mark in the world. The project embodies urban efficiency and environmental sustainability (named as being “climate positive ”) with world-class architecture/design. Barangaroo is a historically prevalent landmark of Sydney with Aboriginal associations of the Cadigal people. Primarily being used as a loading dock for incoming ships, Barangaroo has and will be further transformed into a multifarious region of Sydney with Residential, Tourism and Recreation as the pivotal points of it. The Site will be divided into 3 main sections: Barangaroo South (tourism and retail); Barangaroo Central (Recreation, entertainment) and Barangaroo Point (Grand harbor Park of Sydney).
Archaeologists believe that aboriginals first came to Australia about 45, 000 years ago and were the only population of humans in Australia until the British invasion. There are about 500 different aboriginal groups each with their own language and territory and usually made up of several separate clans. The aboriginals of Australia are marginalised in today society. This marginalisation began right back during the British invasion where they were evicted from their own country, the stolen generation occurred and their health care, education, employment and housing was severely limited. Aboriginals generally live in poor conditions and choose unhealthy lifestyle choices
Aboriginal people seem to have lived a long time in the same environment as the now extinct Australian

The children of the Chumash also engaged in certain rites of passage into adulthood, and the mothers had rituals before giving birth. When a Chumashan mother began to experience labor she would dig a shallow hole in the ground, and then light a fire in the hole to make it warm. Finally, she would extinguish the fire right before birth and line the hole with grass to deliver the baby. After the baby was born, its nose was broken because that would make the child more attractive. For the transition into manhood the young boys would drink a hallucinogenic drink known as a tolache, while being supervised by the shaman where they would experience a vision and be given a guardian spirit (Sutton, 2012). Young girls would undergo a similar process with the addition of following food taboos on meat and salt when they first began to menstruate. Sutton (2012) states that at about 15 years of age girls would marry and at about age 18 boys would marry.
Prior to white settlement, the landscape encompassed within the Study Area was occupied and managed by the ‘Yagarabal’ people, whose territory extended “from the Brisbane River to the Logan River, and West to Moggill Creek” (Robinson 1). During this period, the Study Area was covered in thick vegetation and free-flowing creeks, and was habitat to a diverse range of native animals and edible plants. Spreading out across the terrain, a series of trails were frequently used by the ‘Yagarabal’ people, connecting hunting grounds and camps. These trails were also walked by other groups from outside the region, when visiting for events such as corroborees, or travelling through the area. One of these trails connected the Logan River and Holland Park along what is now the Logan Rd - Pacific Highway. This trail was eventually used by white settlers, most notably William Slack, to drive cattle through the Mount Gravatt valley towards what would eventually become the South Brisbane market and slaughter yards (Robinson 1-4).
With the heat and pressure of the season fully upon us, it’s a nice change of pace lend a hand in our local communities. So, when the Prospect Valley Rebels little league baseball team needed help rebuilding their baseball field, they came to LGE. The field was in disrepair – full of weeds and rocks – making it an uninviting place to be, let alone a place to play baseball. LGE stepped up to the plate (pun intended) with donations of material, trucking, and equipment time. Along with helping hands from volunteers from the baseball team and the local community, the field was soon ready for the kids to play ball. Now this field is an enjoyable place to watch a baseball game on a hot summer afternoon.

Aborigines are believed to have lived in Australia for between 60,000 and 40,000 years, their early ancestors coming from South-East Asia. Precise population details for the period before European colonisation are unavailable, but it is estimated that there were between 300,000 and 1,000,000 Aborigines in Australia when European settlers first arrived in 1788.
With the big boom of the telecommunications industry within recent years, many telecom companies are looking for ways to expand their base and grab that incremental part of market share. The advancement of technology causes a greater consumer demand to fulfill the voids of older, less effective communication methods. Technology and growth are the means by which the telecom industry has been able to boom. Riverbend Telephone Company is one of those telecom organizations that is looking to broaden their market share in the telecom industry.
Taliesin West was constructed in 1937 in a desert location in Arizona. It was the home for Wright until his death in 1959. Its design was a direct response to its dry landscape. Wright felt strongly about the atmosphere of the desert. He said: “Arizona needs its own architecture… Arizona’s long, low, sweeping lines, uptilting planes. Surface patterned after such abstraction in line and color as find 'realism' in the patterns of the rattlesnake, the Gila monster, the chameleon, and the saguaro, cholla or staghorn – or is it the other way around—are inspiration enough” (archdaily) Its function was for a place of residence, business and education. Similar to Fallingwater, materials for its construction were sourced locally resembling the harmonious
