Discovered 2001 Feb. 16 by W. K. Y. Yeung at Desert Beaver. The Maldives is an island nation in the Indian Ocean. With an average ground level elevation of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, it is the planet's lowest country. Future inundation of the Maldives due to rising sea levels is of great conc...
It may have been the first major construction project to be cancelled by a NSW government. In 1801, 13 years after the First Fleet's arrival, fears for the security of the infant colony were rising. So in 1804 work began on Fort Phillip. To stand on what was then Windmill Hill, the township's highest po...
