Reversing the Supply Chain for Copper, Aluminium and Brass

Recycling a tonne of aluminium saves digging up 8 tonnes of bauxite, 14,000 kWh of energy, 40 barrels (6300 litres) of oil, 238 million Btu's of energy and 7.6 cubic metres of landfill." Recycling copper saves 85% of the energy, it would take to produce the same amount of useful copper from a mine - Bureau of International Recycling

"The brass industry depends on the recycling of brass scrap for its survival. Making brass from new copper and zinc is uneconomical and wasteful of raw materials - schoolscience.co.uk

John White's Journal

Poster by Marghanita da Cruz

John White. was the surgeon to the first fleet. White's Creek, White Street and White Bay are named after him.

White's Journal documents the voyage to Botany Bay and settlement in Port Jackson and contains 65 Plates and descriptions.

On his arrival in the conlony, in 1792, convict Thomas Watling was assigned to White and did numerous drawings for him (http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/white-john-2787).

A Seahorse White documented in the Journal is also named after him. The illustrations are by

Botany Bay, 23 Jan 1790: "While the people were employed on shore, the natives came several times among them, and behaved with a kind of cautious friendship. One evening while the seine was hauling, some of them were present, and expressed great surprise at what they saw, giving a shout expressive of astonishment and joy when they perceived the quantity that was caught.

No sooner were the fish out of the water than they began to lay hold of them, as if they had a right to them, or that they were their own; upon which the officer of the boat, I think very properly, restrained them, giving, however, to each of them a part."

White returns to England: After a duel William Balmain, his assistant, White returned to England, with his Australian born son.

White's son fought at Waterloo, before returning to Australia.

John White's Journal is available as eBook from Project Gutenberg and University of Adelaide.
