One important aspect in planning for retirement is the where do I place my money now to give me the greatest tax benefit centrelink outcomes and returns For example do I put my money into superannuation a pension account or a straight bank deposit Each of these investments has advantages and disadvantages

him to escape the light pollution of Sydney and commenced work on a full observatory The main building was complete by 1947 and the instruments gradually added after that - the main telescope was installed the following year and the observatory opened to the public in 1959In 1967 he started construction on a planetarium which was incomplete upon his death in 1989 The main 61cm telescope was completed by 1943 but not mounted for five years- the mirror in it weighs an impressive 82kg Three other telescopes share its frame and the whole assembly weighs 4 tonnes The Dome which encloses it is nearly 4

metres high and weighs 35 tonnesThe entire 40 hectare site is now Heritage listed- which protects the buildings and instruments on the premises as well as guarding it against light pollution from nearby homes Several supernovae have been discovered using the Linden Observatoryrsquos facilities To continue maintenance and development the Observatory is administered by a Trust which holds regular tours and events as fundraisers More information on the Trust can be found at wwwlindenobservatorycomau

Historic Life of Jesus at Emu Plains Anglican

What happened in Jerusalem and around the Lake of Galilee in the first century which changed the shape of history Who is the Jesus who emerges from history and has had a profound impact on our society These are some of the themes discussed in the exhibition ldquoLife of Jesusrdquo

The lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo runs over six weeks Journey through the life of Jesus from birth to his reported resurrection Ask your questions and discuss the answers read the biography of Jesus written by Luke as well as watch the material prepared by historian John Dickson John Dicksonrsquos input was shot on location in Israel and addresses many of the questions about Jesus that people frequently ask

Sam and Peta participated eighteen months ago and Sam said ldquorsquoLife of Jesusrsquo answered many of my questions about the time when Jesus was on earth The most significant thing from the course for me was the historical evidence that supported the Gospel of Jesus I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding out more about Jesusrdquo Peta added ldquoI found the lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo really helpful It was especially helpful as my knowledge of Jesus was quite limited It reminded me of things I did already know and helped me place Jesus as a living person in an historical contextrdquo

Whether you are looking for some answers to lifersquos big questions or just interested in the history lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo will inform intrigue entertain and challenge

Life of Jesus runs for six weeks beginning 745 pm Thursday 5 May at Emu Plains Anglican Church Short Street (enter via Mundy Street) If you are planning to come or would like more information please contact them by phone 4735 1001 or email officeemuplainsanglicanasnau

Western Sydney Astronomers Opening

Nights in May

If you have ever wondered whats up there looked curiously at the stars and wanted to know more Opportunity has come knocking Throughout May the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) will play host to Observation Nights at the Linden Observatory The May evenings will be held on 7th and 28th May and visitors are welcome A $5 donation would be appreciated This is a great opportunity to join the group and see what they do There will be club scopes and binoculars available to use and club members happy to point you in the right direction Attendees are encouraged to arrive approximately an hour before sunset and remember to rug up For more information please email zentonnetspacenetau A full list of coming events can be found at wwwwsaagorgThe Linden Observatory was built shortly after WW2 by engineer Ken Beames who specialised in making optical equipment During WW1 he worked as a signaller served an apprenticeship afterwards and built his first telescope in 1934 During WW2 he produced rifle sights periscopes navy signalling lamps and munitions casings most of it with grinding equipment and glass he made himself In his lifetime he made at least 450 telescopes After the war he found a block of bushy land on a ridge in Linden which enabled

him to escape the light pollution of Sydney and commenced work on a full observatory The main building was complete by 1947 and the instruments gradually added after that - the main telescope was installed the following year and the observatory opened to the public in 1959In 1967 he started construction on a planetarium which was incomplete upon his death in 1989 The main 61cm telescope was completed by 1943 but not mounted for five years- the mirror in it weighs an impressive 82kg Three other telescopes share its frame and the whole assembly weighs 4 tonnes The Dome which encloses it is nearly 4

metres high and weighs 35 tonnesThe entire 40 hectare site is now Heritage listed- which protects the buildings and instruments on the premises as well as guarding it against light pollution from nearby homes Several supernovae have been discovered using the Linden Observatoryrsquos facilities To continue maintenance and development the Observatory is administered by a Trust which holds regular tours and events as fundraisers More information on the Trust can be found at wwwlindenobservatorycomau

Historic Life of Jesus at Emu Plains Anglican

What happened in Jerusalem and around the Lake of Galilee in the first century which changed the shape of history Who is the Jesus who emerges from history and has had a profound impact on our society These are some of the themes discussed in the exhibition ldquoLife of Jesusrdquo

The lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo runs over six weeks Journey through the life of Jesus from birth to his reported resurrection Ask your questions and discuss the answers read the biography of Jesus written by Luke as well as watch the material prepared by historian John Dickson John Dicksonrsquos input was shot on location in Israel and addresses many of the questions about Jesus that people frequently ask

Sam and Peta participated eighteen months ago and Sam said ldquorsquoLife of Jesusrsquo answered many of my questions about the time when Jesus was on earth The most significant thing from the course for me was the historical evidence that supported the Gospel of Jesus I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding out more about Jesusrdquo Peta added ldquoI found the lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo really helpful It was especially helpful as my knowledge of Jesus was quite limited It reminded me of things I did already know and helped me place Jesus as a living person in an historical contextrdquo

Whether you are looking for some answers to lifersquos big questions or just interested in the history lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo will inform intrigue entertain and challenge

Life of Jesus runs for six weeks beginning 745 pm Thursday 5 May at Emu Plains Anglican Church Short Street (enter via Mundy Street) If you are planning to come or would like more information please contact them by phone 4735 1001 or email officeemuplainsanglicanasnau

Have you ever thought about your retirement

Contemplating retirement can be daunting How much money will I have how much can I spend and how long does it need to last

One important aspect in planning for retirement is the where do I place my money now to give me the greatest tax benefit centrelink outcomes and returns For example do I put my money into superannuation a pension account or a straight bank deposit Each of these investments has advantages and disadvantages

Western Sydney Astronomers Opening

Nights in May

If you have ever wondered whats up there looked curiously at the stars and wanted to know more Opportunity has come knocking Throughout May the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) will play host to Observation Nights at the Linden Observatory The May evenings will be held on 7th and 28th May and visitors are welcome A $5 donation would be appreciated This is a great opportunity to join the group and see what they do There will be club scopes and binoculars available to use and club members happy to point you in the right direction Attendees are encouraged to arrive approximately an hour before sunset and remember to rug up For more information please email zentonnetspacenetau A full list of coming events can be found at wwwwsaagorgThe Linden Observatory was built shortly after WW2 by engineer Ken Beames who specialised in making optical equipment During WW1 he worked as a signaller served an apprenticeship afterwards and built his first telescope in 1934 During WW2 he produced rifle sights periscopes navy signalling lamps and munitions casings most of it with grinding equipment and glass he made himself In his lifetime he made at least 450 telescopes After the war he found a block of bushy land on a ridge in Linden which enabled

him to escape the light pollution of Sydney and commenced work on a full observatory The main building was complete by 1947 and the instruments gradually added after that - the main telescope was installed the following year and the observatory opened to the public in 1959In 1967 he started construction on a planetarium which was incomplete upon his death in 1989 The main 61cm telescope was completed by 1943 but not mounted for five years- the mirror in it weighs an impressive 82kg Three other telescopes share its frame and the whole assembly weighs 4 tonnes The Dome which encloses it is nearly 4

metres high and weighs 35 tonnesThe entire 40 hectare site is now Heritage listed- which protects the buildings and instruments on the premises as well as guarding it against light pollution from nearby homes Several supernovae have been discovered using the Linden Observatoryrsquos facilities To continue maintenance and development the Observatory is administered by a Trust which holds regular tours and events as fundraisers More information on the Trust can be found at wwwlindenobservatorycomau

Historic Life of Jesus at Emu Plains Anglican

What happened in Jerusalem and around the Lake of Galilee in the first century which changed the shape of history Who is the Jesus who emerges from history and has had a profound impact on our society These are some of the themes discussed in the exhibition ldquoLife of Jesusrdquo

The lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo runs over six weeks Journey through the life of Jesus from birth to his reported resurrection Ask your questions and discuss the answers read the biography of Jesus written by Luke as well as watch the material prepared by historian John Dickson John Dicksonrsquos input was shot on location in Israel and addresses many of the questions about Jesus that people frequently ask

Sam and Peta participated eighteen months ago and Sam said ldquorsquoLife of Jesusrsquo answered many of my questions about the time when Jesus was on earth The most significant thing from the course for me was the historical evidence that supported the Gospel of Jesus I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding out more about Jesusrdquo Peta added ldquoI found the lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo really helpful It was especially helpful as my knowledge of Jesus was quite limited It reminded me of things I did already know and helped me place Jesus as a living person in an historical contextrdquo

Whether you are looking for some answers to lifersquos big questions or just interested in the history lsquoLife of Jesusrsquo will inform intrigue entertain and challenge

Life of Jesus runs for six weeks beginning 745 pm Thursday 5 May at Emu Plains Anglican Church Short Street (enter via Mundy Street) If you are planning to come or would like more information please contact them by phone 4735 1001 or email officeemuplainsanglicanasnau

TIME TO RETIRE

Have you ever thought about your retirement

Contemplating retirement can be daunting How much money will I have how much can I spend and how long does it need to last

A Financial Planner can help you work out how much money you may have at retirement We can project what that may be in the future and we can account for different spending levels to see how long it may last We can also place different portfolio returns in the projection to see what level of volatility you are happy with for your investment

One important aspect in planning for retirement is the where do I place my money now to give me the greatest tax benefit centrelink outcomes and returns For example do I put my money into superannuation a pension account or a straight bank deposit Each of these investments has advantages and disadvantages

Whether you are contemplating retirement or interested in discussing your current financial situation call Mondy Walpole Financial Services ndash we can help

Western Sydney Astronomers Opening

Nights in May

If you have ever wondered whats up there looked curiously at the stars and wanted to know more Opportunity has come knocking Throughout May the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) will play host to Observation Nights at the Linden Observatory The May evenings will be held on 7th and 28th May and visitors are welcome A $5 donation would be appreciated This is a great opportunity to join the group and see what they do There will be club scopes and binoculars available to use and club members happy to point you in the right direction Attendees are encouraged to arrive approximately an hour before sunset and remember to rug up For more information please email zentonnetspacenetau A full list of coming events can be found at wwwwsaagorgThe Linden Observatory was built shortly after WW2 by engineer Ken Beames who specialised in making optical equipment During WW1 he worked as a signaller served an apprenticeship afterwards and built his first telescope in 1934 During WW2 he produced rifle sights periscopes navy signalling lamps and munitions casings most of it with grinding equipment and glass he made himself In his lifetime he made at least 450 telescopes After the war he found a block of bushy land on a ridge in Linden which enabled

him to escape the light pollution of Sydney and commenced work on a full observatory The main building was complete by 1947 and the instruments gradually added after that - the main telescope was installed the following year and the observatory opened to the public in 1959In 1967 he started construction on a planetarium which was incomplete upon his death in 1989 The main 61cm telescope was completed by 1943 but not mounted for five years- the mirror in it weighs an impressive 82kg Three other telescopes share its frame and the whole assembly weighs 4 tonnes The Dome which encloses it is nearly 4

metres high and weighs 35 tonnesThe entire 40 hectare site is now Heritage listed- which protects the buildings and instruments on the premises as well as guarding it against light pollution from nearby homes Several supernovae have been discovered using the Linden Observatoryrsquos facilities To continue maintenance and development the Observatory is administered by a Trust which holds regular tours and events as fundraisers More information on the Trust can be found at wwwlindenobservatorycomau

TIME TO RETIRE

Have you ever thought about your retirement

Contemplating retirement can be daunting How much money will I have how much can I spend and how long does it need to last

A Financial Planner can help you work out how much money you may have at retirement We can project what that may be in the future and we can account for different spending levels to see how long it may last We can also place different portfolio returns in the projection to see what level of volatility you are happy with for your investment

One important aspect in planning for retirement is the where do I place my money now to give me the greatest tax benefit centrelink outcomes and returns For example do I put my money into superannuation a pension account or a straight bank deposit Each of these investments has advantages and disadvantages

Whether you are contemplating retirement or interested in discussing your current financial situation call Mondy Walpole Financial Services ndash we can help

Western Sydney Astronomers Opening

Nights in May

If you have ever wondered whats up there looked curiously at the stars and wanted to know more Opportunity has come knocking Throughout May the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) will play host to Observation Nights at the Linden Observatory The May evenings will be held on 7th and 28th May and visitors are welcome A $5 donation would be appreciated This is a great opportunity to join the group and see what they do There will be club scopes and binoculars available to use and club members happy to point you in the right direction Attendees are encouraged to arrive approximately an hour before sunset and remember to rug up For more information please email zentonnetspacenetau A full list of coming events can be found at wwwwsaagorgThe Linden Observatory was built shortly after WW2 by engineer Ken Beames who specialised in making optical equipment During WW1 he worked as a signaller served an apprenticeship afterwards and built his first telescope in 1934 During WW2 he produced rifle sights periscopes navy signalling lamps and munitions casings most of it with grinding equipment and glass he made himself In his lifetime he made at least 450 telescopes After the war he found a block of bushy land on a ridge in Linden which enabled

him to escape the light pollution of Sydney and commenced work on a full observatory The main building was complete by 1947 and the instruments gradually added after that - the main telescope was installed the following year and the observatory opened to the public in 1959In 1967 he started construction on a planetarium which was incomplete upon his death in 1989 The main 61cm telescope was completed by 1943 but not mounted for five years- the mirror in it weighs an impressive 82kg Three other telescopes share its frame and the whole assembly weighs 4 tonnes The Dome which encloses it is nearly 4

metres high and weighs 35 tonnesThe entire 40 hectare site is now Heritage listed- which protects the buildings and instruments on the premises as well as guarding it against light pollution from nearby homes Several supernovae have been discovered using the Linden Observatoryrsquos facilities To continue maintenance and development the Observatory is administered by a Trust which holds regular tours and events as fundraisers More information on the Trust can be found at wwwlindenobservatorycomau
