Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 336 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Cyclone Tracy demolished Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory when it struck during the night of Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning, 1974. Over almost ten hours the small, intense, but slow-moving weather system left a swathe of destruction across the entire town. Few buildings escaped.Sixty-six people died, many of them on vessels which put to sea, while many hundreds were injured.The destruction of essential services made a reduction in the population of about 40,000 imperative and what followed was the greatest peacetime evacuation of an Australian community with nearly 10,000 leaving by road and more than 20,000 evacuated by air.But as some of these stories show, many stayed or returned quickly to help rebuild the city they loved. Every survivor has a story and just over 50 of them have responded to the invitation to tell theirs, some for the first time, in their own words.We admire them for their resilience and thank them for their contribution to this remarkable collection.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Part social history and part memoir, They Gave Us a Television Station to Play With is the story of the arrival of ABC TV in Darwin told by an ABC journalist of the era.The arrival of television in Darwin was inevitable, Darwin being the only Australian capital without TV at that time. The only questions were when and in what form it would appear.With detailed research and a touch of humour, Richard Creswick explores these questions and the lives of Territorians as that significant milestone ushered in one of the most eventful decades in the Territory's history.Television, Cyclone Tracy and self government were landmarks in a period of social, cultural and constitutional change, chronicled here with a bit of history and a few characters thrown in for good measure.As Dawn Lawrie has written in her foreword, 'this book is a great contribution to the history of television and the Northern Territory in its triumphs and tragedies and will be enjoyed by many.'
