District Council Of Port Broughton
The District Council of Port Broughton was a local government area in South Australia from 1892 to 1997 seated at the town of Port Broughton. History It was proclaimed on 9 June 1892 as the District Council of Mundoora by the severance of the Hundred of Wokurna and a western portion of the Hundred of Mundoora from the District Council of Broughton (later the called District Council of Redhill). It was subdivided into two wards (Mundoora and Wokurna) at its creation. The proclamation followed some years of agitation from Port Broughton residents in favour of dividing the original Broughton council. A reserve for a district council chamber at Port Broughton was proclaimed in 1893. The District Council of Mundoora renamed itself the District Council of Port Broughton on 31 May 1917. In 1933, a portion of the Hundred of Tickera was added to the existing Hundreds of Mundoora and Wokurna, and was added to the Wokurna Ward.

Former Local Government Areas Of South Australia
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Daily Herald (Adelaide)
''The Herald'' was a weekly trade union magazine published in Adelaide, South Australia between 1894 and March 1910; for the first four years titled ''The Weekly Herald''. It was succeeded by ''The Daily Herald'', which ran from 7 March 1910 to 16 June 1924. History The 1890s was a period of intense industrial unrest in Australia: squatters and shippers, manufacturers, merchants and miners had all been doing very nicely in the 1880s with exports booming, but little seemed to the shearers, labourers and sailors to be "trickling down" to them. Then around 1885 demand slackened off and with falling prices, the employers felt the need to reduce their labour force, and cut the wages of those who remained. The Maritime Labour Council (MLC) was formed in Adelaide in 1886 and the following year raised a Maritime Strike Fund of £9,600, of which various workers' unions subscribed around half. When the United Trades and Labour Council of South Australia needed money to start a workers' ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
