Museum of Fire - Penrith

Oct 19, 2009
Erin

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My husband surprised our son Cooper with a fun-filled afternoon at the Museum of Fire, Penrith, Western Sydney.

Cooper was totally amazed at all of the Fire Engines that were in the Museum. He was even able to sit in a couple of them and pretend to drive. They had a Kids Corner containing: Fire Safety Activities, Computer Games, Puzzles and a Fire Engine Simulator! The perfect visit for every child that ever wanted to be a FIREFIGHTER.

Before we finished, we went for a ride around the grounds of the Museum of Fire in one of the Fire Trucks. Cooper loved this as he rode in the front seat with the lights flashing and the sounds beeping!

Jon Ovington

My son is set to lose it when I suprise him on Friday with a trip to Acer Arena where we are set to see Thomas & Friends Live On Stage, A Circus Comes To Town.

I can't wait to see the reaction! What a great way to keep those little ones amused for a few hours during the school holidays. Tickets are on sale now @ ticketek or visit Acer Arena for more info.

Percy, James, Gordon - and, of course Thomas - are headed your way! Join these engine friends, Sir Topham Hatt and the townspeople of Sodor for a one-of-a-kind not-to-be-missed live entertainment experience: Thomas & FriendsTM Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes To Town.

The 90-minute musical adventure, produced by HIT Entertainment and AEGThemeSTAR, includes brand-new singalong songs and a colorful cast of circus performers to tell the engaging story of how all the engines on the Island of Sodor must work together to prepare for the exciting event under the Big Top. Problems arise along the way, and Thomas has to prove he's a really useful engine once again.

Mini-baby boom sends population to 22m

Oct 6, 2009
Erin

UPDATE: Lauren Wilson | October 01, 2009

Article from:  The Australian
 

AUSTRALIA's population just hit 22 million, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics population clock.

The clock, based on population estimates taken from the Australian Demographic Statistics published in March, ticked over to 22 million at 1.58pm.

The ABS estimates Australia's population is bolstered by one birth every one minute and 44 seconds, and by a net gain of one international migrant every one minute and 53 seconds.

The swelled population estimates have come as a surprise to many who remember former treasurer Peter Costello's 2004 plea for women to go forth and give birth -- "one for mum, one for dad and one for the country."

Just four years ago, it seemed Australia was in the midst of a "baby drought".

Monash University demographer Bob Birrell said there had been a significant surge in the past year, both in the birth rate and in migration levels, "which most demographers have not anticipated".

"The fact that the national birth rate has gone up from 1.7 to 1.9 in the last four years is very significant," Dr Birrell said.

While the Howard government's baby bonus might have had some impact in raising the birth rate, he suggested a more likely explanation was the run of economic prosperity Australia enjoyed until last year's global financial meltdown.

"Until four or five years ago, the economic climate was such that you could not be certain if you could maintain a job or buy a house," he said.

While 249,000 babies were born in 2004, last year the ABS counted 297,000 births -- so significant an increase that Dr Birrell called it a "mini-baby boom". However, given the onset of the global recession, he said "we might struggle to maintain a birthrate of 1.9 now".

Melbourne mother Suzie Nader, 30, was thrilled to give birth to her second child, Noah, three days ago at Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital.

Like many career women, Ms Nader said she deliberated before having her first child, but decided there was no point delaying her desire to have a family, given "there will never be a perfect time".

She said she had not ruled out having a third child -- "for the country" -- but planned to wait at least seven years before she made that decision.

Even more statistically significant is the rise in overseas migration.

Migration contributed 63per cent of last year's population growth of 2.1 per cent -- the highest growth rate since the 1950s and 60s.

On the other side of Melbourne, at Frankston on the Mornington Peninsula, South African migrants David and Lorraine Colvin are hoping to obtain permanent residency in Australia as soon as possible.

The couple decided to move to Melbourne after they were attacked in their home in South Africa by knife-wielding intruders. Now Mr Colvin has a job with a cable manufacturing company and they enjoy living in a city where they are not in perpetual fear for their safety.
