20.01.2022 BREAKING: Queensland borders will open to the Australian Capital Territory at 1am on Friday, September 25. I have spoken with Chief Minister Andrew Barr to conf...irm the ACT will be removed as a hotspot. Well work with ACT authorities to make sure appropriate checks are in place at Canberra Airport for people flying into Queensland. Anyone who has been in a declared hotspot in the past 14 days will not be allowed into Queensland. This is another step towards ensuring Queenslands economy rebounds, not the virus. #covid19au

18.01.2022 16th SEPTEMBER 1956 . . . On this day, 16th September 1956, Australias first television broadcast is made by TCN Channel 9 in Sydney. Although John Logie Baird... first demonstrated the television in 1926, it was not until the 1940s that steps were made to bring the medium to Australia. They began with the initial Broadcasting Act of 1948, which prohibited the granting of commercial television licences. In 1950, Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies announced a gradual introduction of television in Australia, commencing with the launch of an ABC station. Three years later his government amended the 1948 Broadcasting Act to allow for commercial television licences. Test transmissions commenced in Sydney and Melbourne in July 1956. At 7:00pm on 16 September 1956, Australias first TV broadcast was made by TCN Channel 9 in Sydney. Bruce Gyngell introduced the broadcast with the words "Good evening, and welcome to television". At the time, there were approximately 2,000 television sets in Sydney. The station was owned by Frank Packer, but it was his son Kerry who later saw and developed the potential of television as an informative media source. Packers TCN 9 launched approximately two months ahead of its nearest competitor, ABN 2. However, a regular broadcasting service was not provided until January of the following year, by GTV 9. GTV 9 had already been granted permission to use the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne for test transmissions, and officially opened with a regular broadcasting service on 19 January 1957.

Tourism Central Australia says its in talks with stakeholders, but there is still no firm date on re-opening.

16.01.2022 13th SEPTEMBER 1861 . . . On this day, 13th September 1861, Howitts expedition to rescue missing explorers Burke and Wills arrives at the Dig Tree. Burke and... Wills, with a huge party of men and supplies, departed Melbourne in August 1860 to cross Australia to the north coast and back. Burke, being impatient and anxious to complete the crossing as quickly as possible, split the expedition at Menindee. He moved on ahead to establish a depot at Cooper Creek. He left William Wright in command of the Menindee depot. Splitting his party yet again at Cooper Creek, Burke chose to make a dash to the Gulf in the heat of Summer. He took with him Wills and two others, ex-seaman Charles Gray and former soldier John King. He left stockman William Brahe in charge with instructions that, should the small party not return in three months, Brahe was to return to Menindee. The trek to the Gulf and back took over four months, and during that time Gray died. A full day was spent in burying his body. When Burke returned to Cooper Creek, he discovered lettering freshly blazed on the coolibah tree at the depot, giving instructions to dig for the supplies Brahe had left. Thus the name Dig Tree was spawned. When Burke left the Dig tree to try to reach the police station at Mt Hopeless, 240km to the southwest, he failed to leave further messages emblazoned on the Dig Tree. Thus, when Brahe and Wright returned to check the depot, they found no evidence of Burkes return. Believing Burke and Wills were lost, a rescue expedition was organised in Melbourne. Headed up by Alfred Howitt, the rescue party reached the Dig tree on 13 September 1861. Finding no sign of Burke and Wills, the men moved downstream. It was there that they found King, the only survivor, who was able to tell how Burke and Wills had died close by six weeks earlier. Pictured: Bourke and Wills at the Dig Tree.
