They will also visit bird feeders placed in gardens.
Semi-tame lorikeets are common daily visitors in many backyards in Sydney.
But, many people are ignorant of the food they need to eat, and feed them bread or bread coated with honey.
Bread and honey do not have the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that the rainbow lorikeet needs, and this practice can lead to health and feather problems in young lorikeets.
Packet mixes with a nutritional mix that is good for feeding lorikeets are generally available from vets and pet stores.
Rainbow lorikeets are monogamous and pair for life.
Male and female rainbow lorikeets look almost identical.
They are strongly territorial, and chase off other birds.
In southern Australia, breeding usually happens from late winter to early summer (August to January).
In other places in Australia, breeding has been recorded in every month except March.
It depends on changes in food availability and climate.
Nesting sites can include hollows of tall trees such as eucalyptus, palm trunks, or overhanging rock.
One lorikeet population in the Admiralty Islands nests in holes in the ground on predator-free islets.
Pairs sometimes nest in the same tree with other rainbow lorikeet pairs, or other types of bird.
Rainbow lorikeets lay between one and three eggs, which are incubated for around 25 days.
Incubation is carried out by the female alone.
Overall, the rainbow lorikeet is widespread and often common.
According to the annual Birdlife Australia census, it is the most commonly observed bird in Australia.
It is considered to be a least concern species by BirdLife International.
As a pest
A feral population of rainbow lorikeets was established in New Zealand after an Auckland resident illegally released many rainbow lorikeets in the area in the 1990s, which started breeding in the wild.
The Department of Conservation was concerned that rainbow lorikeets would outcompete native honeyeaters.
They could also be a possible threat to nearby islands like the Little Barrier Island.
They began killing the feral population in 2000.
Many owners of fruit orchards think of rainbow lorikeets as a pest, as they often fly in groups and take fresh fruit from trees.
In urban areas, the birds create nuisance noise and poop on outdoor areas and vehicles.
In Western Australia, the rainbow lorikeet competes with native bird species.
This includes domination of food sources and competition for scarce nesting hollows.
Different types of birds such as the purple-crowned lorikeet, the Carnaby's black cockatoo, and the Australian ringneck are affected.

World Poverty and Human Rights is a 2002 book by Thomas Pogge.
In the book, Pogge says that the poorest 46 percent of people have 1.2 percent of global income, and 826 million of them do not have enough to eat.
One-third of all human deaths are from poverty-related causes: 18 million annually, including 12 million children under five.
At the other end of the spectrum, the 15 percent of people in the developed countries have 80 percent of global income.
Pogge says that shifting 1 or 2 percent of our share toward poverty eradication seems morally compelling.
Yet most of the rich people believe that they have no such responsibility.

Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (; April 8, 1859, Prostějov, Moravia, Austrian Empire – April 26, 1938, Freiburg, Germany) was an Austrian-German philosopher and mathematician who is deemed the founder of phenomenology.
He broke with the positivist orientation of the science and philosophy of his time, believing that experience is the source of all knowledge.
Then Husserl taught philosophy, as a Privatdozent at Halle from 1887, and as a professor:
first at Göttingen from 1901,
then at Freiburg im Breisgau from 1916 until his 1928 retirement.
Husserl was born into a Jewish family in a town that was then in the Austrian Empire (after 1918 a part of Czechoslovakia, and since 1993 a part of the Czech Republic).
He became a member of the Lutheran Church in 1886.
He initially studied mathematics but then started attending lectures  on psychology and philosophy.
Husserl was so impressed by Brentano that he decided to dedicate his life to philosophy.
His major written work is Philosophie der Arithmetik (1891).
In these first works he tries to combine mathematics, psychology and philosophy with a main goal to provide a sound foundation for mathematics.
He analyzes the psychological process needed to obtain the concept of number and then tries to build up a systematical theory on this analysis.
To achieve this he uses several methods and concepts taken from his teachers.
From Weierstrass he derives the idea that we generate the concept of number by counting a certain collection of objects.
From Brentano and Stumpf he takes over the distinction between proper and improper presenting.
In an example Husserl explains this in the following way: if you are standing in front of a house, you have a proper, direct presentation of that house, but if you are looking for it and ask for directions, then these directions (e.g. the house on the corner of this and that street) are an indirect, improper presentation.
In other words, you can have a proper presentation of an object if it is actually present, and an improper (or symbolic as he also calls it) if you only can indicate that object through signs, symbols, etc.
Another important element that Husserl took over from Brentano is intentionality.
It is the notion that the main characteristic of consciousness is that it is always intentional.
While often simplistically summarised as "aboutness" or the relationship between mental acts and the external world, Brentano defined it as the main characteristic of mental phenomena, by which they could be distinguished from physical phenomena.
The elaboration of phenomenology
Some years after the publication of his main work, the Logische Untersuchungen (Logical Investigations; 1900-1901) Husserl made some key conceptual elaborations which led him to assert that in order to study the structure of consciousness, one would have to distinguish between the act of consciousness and the phenomena at which it is directed (the object-in-itself, transcendent to consciousness).
Knowledge of essences would only be possible by "bracketing" all assumptions about the existence of an external world.
He called this procedure epoché.
Husserl proposed a radical new phenomenological way of looking at objects by examining how we in our many ways of being intentionally directed toward them, actually  "constitute"  them (to be distinguished from materially  "creating objects or objects" .
In a later period, Husserl began to wrestle with the complicated issues of intersubjectivity, specifically, how communication about an object can be assumed to refer to the same ideal entity (Cartesian Meditations, Meditation V).
The Crisis of the European Sciences is Husserl's unfinished work that deals most directly with these issues.
In it, Husserl for the first time attempts a historical overview of the development of Western philosophy and science, emphasizing the challenges presented by their increasingly (one-sidedly) empirical and naturalistic orientation.

The Orto botanico di Pisa, also known as the Orto Botanico dell'Università di Pisa, is a botanical garden, and the University of Pisa takes care of it.
The garden is at via Luca Ghini 5, Pisa, Italy.
It is open weekday mornings and it does not cost money to see it.
The garden was started in 1544 under Cosimo I de' Medici as the first university botanical garden in Europe, and it was put under the care of the famous botanist Luca Ghini of Imola.
In 1563 the garden was moved from its original place near a river (now the Medicean Arsenal) to one near the convent of Santa Marta.
In 1591 the garden was again moved to a third place, where it still is.
From these early times, the garden has contained a gallery of natural objects (now Pisa's Museo di Storia Naturale), a library (now part of the university library), and portraits of its directors throughout the centuries.
It also includes one of the earliest iron-framed hothouses built in Italy.
Today there are different sections in the garden containing the botanical school, gardens, ponds, greenhouses, and various buildings.
Major collections include herb gardens and arboreta, as well as the old botany institute, built 1591–1595, with a facade ornamented with sea-shells.

Seismology is the study of what is under the surface of the Earth by measuring vibrations on the Earth's surface.
A person who does this is called a seismologist.
Seismic detectors come in two types, one which measures up and down vibrations, and one which measures side to side vibrations.
Both types use and arrangement of a magnet and a coil of wire which will convert the vibrations into an electrical signal which can be stored in a computer for analysis.
The earliest seismometer was developed by the Chinese.
Seismologists can find the location of earthquakes by plotting received vibrations on a map.
They can also pick up underground nuclear tests, and this is what many of the seismic recording stations were set up for.
A godparent is an adult who sponsors a child during a formal religious ceremony or rite.
Many religions have godparents or other adults who do something almost the same.
These religions include Christianity & Judaism.
Usually a godparent must be a member of the religion of the child.
The role of a god parent is to also give the god child a gift, small or big, money, toys, etc.
Mainly on Sundays.
Originally a godparent was someone who agreed to help raise the child and help them to become a good member of the religion.
They may also have taken over as parent to the child if both its real parents died.
Today, the role of godparent is not often a formal one, and has no real responsibility to the child.
A female child of a godparent is a goddaughter.
A male child of a godparent is a godson.
Nystagmus, often called "dancing eyes", is an eye condition which causes uncontrolled, rapid, jerky, movement of the eyes, usually from side to side, but sometimes up and down or in a circular motion.
Most people with nystagmus have poor vision.
It causes problems in education, employment and many social situations.
Nystagmus cannot be fixed by spectacles or contact lenses, although many people with nystagmus wear glasses or contact lenses to correct other eye problems.
Causes of Nystagmus
There are two types of Nystagmus.
The first is Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome (INS) which some people have at birth.
The second type is known as acquired nystagmus which has a number of causes including:
Drugs, especially sedatives
Head injury
Inner ear problems like labyrinthitis or Meniere's disease
Thiamine deficiency
Diseases that can affect the brain's control of the eyes such as a tumor, or multiple sclerosis.
Features of nystagmus
People with nystagmus do not normally see the world as moving, but they do occasionally.
They have poor distance vision, but most have good close vision.
Nystagmus is not painful.
Between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 2000 people have nystagmus.
Nystagmus can be hereditary, but it can also be a result of something else.
Most people with nystagmus can see well enough to drive an automobile
Nystagmus does not get worse with age.
Treatments and research
There are currently no cures for nystagmus, but UK Nystagmus Network supports and encourages medical and other research into this complex condition.
Research is ongoing with a number of universities leading the way.

The story of Susanna and the Elders is found in some Bibles inside chapter three of the Book of Daniel.
Modern Jewish and Protestant Bibles do not have this story but Catholic and Orthodox ones have it.
In the story, two bad judges secretly want to have sexual intercourse with Susanna, a beautiful and virtuous wife.
One hot day, she takes a bath inside her walled garden but she does not know that the judges are hiding inside the garden.
The judges tell her to have sex with them but she doesn't want to.
When she refuses, they tell the people of the village that they saw her having sex with a man who was not her husband.
This is called adultery, which was against the law at that time.
The people of the village believe the judges and want to kill Susanna.
A boy named Daniel does not believe the judges, so he asks one of the judges to go away and the other one to say what he saw.
Daniel does this again with the other judge.
The judges tell different stories, showing that they lied.
The people get mad and kill the judges instead.

Grants are non-repayable money or products given by one party (grant makers) to a recipient, for example a person or group.
Many times, grants go from a government to a nonprofit organization, educational program, a business, or a person.
People write proposals or fill out applications for grants.
Getting a grant involves following rules and reporting back to whoever gave the grant on how the money is being used.

The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA) is an association.
Its purpose is to help and encourage research to keep and develop of light rail and tramway/streetcar systems.
The LRTA publishes the monthly magazine Tramways and Urban Transit (formerly Modern Tramway).
It is based in the United Kingdom but it has an international membership and remit.
The LRTA was formed in 1937.
It was called Light Railway Transport League (LRTL) until 1979.
The opening of the Tyne and Wear Metro in 1980, followed by the Manchester Metrolink in 1991 and other new tram systems in Sheffield, Birmingham, Croydon and Nottingham, are very much in line with the aims of the Association.

Lucifugum is a popular black metal band from Ukraine.
They and Nokturnal Mortum are two of the best-known exponents of the East European black metal scene.
Lucifugum was formed in 1995 by poet/composer Khlyst and musicians Bal-a-Myth (guitar, bass) and Faunus (vocals).
The band continues to perform, despite Faunus having left the band in 2001, and Bal-a-Myth having died in his sleep on October 5, 2002; the albums Back to Chopped Down Roots and Sociopath: Philosophy Cynicism were recorded in 2003 by numerous session musicians which, however, did not join the band.
In 2004 Khlyst moved to the Ukrainian town Mykolayiv (Nikolaev) to continue the activity of Lucifugum and Propaganda together with local black metal musician Elena (aka Stabaath) (ex-Namtar, ex-Hesperus).
Vector33 is the first album with Stabaath (she recorded vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards).
All lyrics are written by Khlyst, and music is composed by Stabaath and Khlyst.
Khlyst and Stabaath (real names Igor and Elena Naumchuk) are married.
They are the owners of black metal label Propaganda.
The music of Lucifugum was different and changed during the years.
The early period can be described as symphonic black metal (1996-2000), later it was black/thrash metal, sometimes with death metal touches (2001-2003), and after 2004 the music of the band has transformed into pure black metal style.
According to Propaganda web site (details to album “Sublimessiah”) Khlyst performs vocals since 2014.
The critical problems with Stabaath’s throat have stopped her during the record of the vocal.
So, there are just 3 tracks (1,3,5) with Stabaath’s vocals on “Sublimessiah”.
Khlyst (Igor Naumchuk) – vocals (2014-), lyrics (1995-), drum programming (2008-)
Stabaath (Elena Naumchuk) – guitars, bass (2004-), vocals (2004-2014), keyboards (2005)
Bal-a-Myth (deceased) – guitars, bass (1995-2002)
Faunus – vocals (1995-2001)

A grassland is a biome, an area of land that mostly has grasses.
There are wild grasses, and there may be some trees.
Several parts of the world have grasslands.
Grasslands are found in Africa, North America, Central Asia, South America, and near the coasts of Australia.
The largest grasslands are in East Africa.
Grasslands with a few scattered trees are called savannas.
Others are called prairies or steppes.
Grassland vegetation can vary greatly in height.
The chalk grassland of southern England is quite short, often with small, delicate flowers.
Grass is quite tall in the Mississippi "tallgrass prairie", the South American grasslands and the African savannas.
This provides a degree of cover for the smaller animals, and so increases the number of species which can live there.
Woody plants, shrubs or trees, may occur on some grasslands.
The root systems of perennial grasses and forbs (herbaceous flowering plants) form complex mats that hold the soil in place.
Tallgrass in North America
The tallgrass prairie is a native ecosystem of the drainage basin of the Mississippi.
Retreating glaciers dropped moraine material about 10,000 years ago.
Wind-dropped loess and organic matter accumulated.
This made the soil.
The prairie had the deepest level of topsoil recorded anywhere.
Animals such as buffalo, elk, deer, and rabbits lived there.
The animals added nitrogen to the soil with their urine and faeces.
Prairie dogs dug tunnels that "aerated the soil and channeled water several feet below the surface".
For 5,000 to 8,000 years, more than  of prairie grasslands were a major feature of the landscape.
Between 1800 and 1930, most of this natural environment was destroyed.
Settlers transformed what they called "the Great American Desert" or "The Inland Sea" into farmland.
They replaced the old grasses with new ones, mostly wheat and maize.
They replaced the bison with cattle, another kind of bovine.
About 40% of the world's maize grows in the United States, mostly on land that formerly grew grass.
The grazing pattern of European cattle, the near-extermination of prairie dogs, and the plowing and cultivation of the land did the damage.
Plowing cut tallgrass root systems and interrupted reproduction.
Drainage changed the soil's water content, and soil erosion lost soil.
Estimates differ of how much original tallgrass prairie survives.
Perhaps less than 1% to 4%, mostly in "scattered remnants found in pioneer cemeteries, restoration projects, along highways and railroad rights-of-way, and on steep bluffs high above rivers".
In many other parts of the world, the grasslands have little rain.
or long dry periods.
There are few trees because of the low rainfall.
Thorny trees called acacias are one of a handful of trees that are able to grow in some African savannas.
Wildfires are common and destroy trees.
The animals also prevent trees from growing as they eat the tender sprouts before they can develop into grown trees.
Elephants are known to tear down grown-up trees and feed on their leaves, making trees even more scarce.
Grass can still grow because it survives the aridity and the trampling of the animals.
This is why grasslands can feed vast numbers of animals.
Animals include mice, rats that eat mostly seeds.
Snakes, hawks and eagles eat mostly small animals.
Big animals, mostly grazers, include zebras, ostriches, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, horses, and antelopes.

Grimsby (population 26 000) is a town on Lake Ontario in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada.
Grimsby is a part of the Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area.
Most of its population lives in the area surrounded Lake Ontario and the Niagara escarpment.
The escarpment is home to a section of the Bruce Trail.
There are many famous people from Grimsby, including NHL player Kevin Bieksa, and The Three Stooges director Del Lord.
Grimsby is known as "the gateway between Hamilton and Niagara".
In the early 1900's, Grimsby was known as an amusement park, with a roller coaster, a movie theater, and cabins on the lake.
One of Grimsby's elementary schools, Grand Avenue Public School, used to be the fairgrounds for the amusement park.
Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, is the species of plant whose leaves and leaf buds are used to make tea.
It is in the genus Camellia.
White tea, green tea, oolong, pu-erh tea and black tea all come from this species.
They are processed differently, so they have different levels of oxidation.
Kukicha (twig tea) is also harvested from Camellia sinensis, but uses twigs and stems rather than leaves.
Proposition 8 is an initiative passed in California on November 4, 2008 that banned same-sex marriage.
The measure passed by 52% to 48%.
It changed California's Constitution by adding a section that says, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
The law was in response to a judge's ruling that gay marriage was legal under the California state Constitution.
The campaign to pass Proposition 8 was mostly paid for by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Proposition 8 is controversial and is being debated in court.
On August 4, 2010, Judge Vaughn Walker in the United States District Court made a ruling that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional and should be overturned.
This would make same-sex marriage legal again in California, however, Judge Walker issued a stay of execution, so that those in favor of Proposition 8 could legal appeal.
The appeal of the case went to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On February 7, 2012, the judges in this court agreed with Judge Walker that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional.
However they also issued a stay of execution, so that their ruling could be appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
Those in favor of Proposition 8 appealed to the Supreme Court on July 30, 2012.
On December 7, 2012, the Supreme Court agreed to judge the case.
The Supreme Court will issue a final ruling on the case in 2013.
The Supreme Court could agree with the lower courts, which would force Proposition 8 to be cancelled and would allow same-sex marriage to resume in California.
The Court could also disagree with the lower courts, in which case Proposition 8 would remain law.
The Court could rule that the supporters of Proposition 8 didn't have the right to bring the case to the Supreme Court, in which case the lower court ruling would stand, and Proposition 8 would also be overturned.

The Czechoslovak government-in-exile (sometimes called officially as: provisional government of Czechoslovakia) was an informal name given to the Czechoslovak National Liberation Committee, first by British diplomatic recognition.
The name was used by other World War II Allies as they followed the British in recognizing it.
The Committee was originally created by the former Czechoslovak President, Edvard Beneš in Paris, France in October 1939.
Unsuccessful negotiations with France for diplomatic status, as well as the impending Nazi occupation of France, forced the Committee to move to London in 1940.
From there, it moved to Aston Abbots, Buckinghamshire in 1941, where it sought relative safety from the London Blitz.
It was the true government for Czechoslovakia throughout the Second World War.
A specifically anti-Fascist government, it sought to reverse the Munich Agreement and the following German occupation of Czechoslovakia, and to return the Republic to its 1937 boundaries.
Due to this it was considered, by those countries that recognized it, the legal continuation of the First Republic of Czechoslovakia.

A train is a set of cars on a railway.
The vehicles that carry freight or are called cars (in the United States) or wagons (in the United Kingdom).
The ones that carry passengers are often called coaches or carriages.
A place where a train stops to let people get on and off is called a train station or railway station.
Early trains used horse power and ran on wooden or iron tracks.
These were used in the Middle Ages.
The first steam trains were built in England in the early 19th century.
Long before railways, "train" meant any group of vehicles or pack animals traveling in a line, as in wagon train or camel train.
The first train (steam Railway Locomotive ) was invented by Richard Trevithick following an idea by Samual Homfray and aided by highly skilled WELSH craftsmenat at the Penydarren Iron Works in MERTHYR TYDFIL,WALES,UK.The train made it's first journey on 21st Feb.1804.
The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive, was the 3 ft (914 mm) gauge Coalbrookdale Locomotive, built by Trevithick in 1802.
Trains contain the prime mover (either locomotive or motor unit) and one or more cars.
The locomotive or railway engine (usually the first car of the train) pulls the cars along the track.
The last car you will see on a train is called the caboose.
Some trains look like a special bus that can only drive on rails.
Trains are used to carry people, as well as cargo, such as raw material,finished goods, and waste.
Types of train
Freight trains have freight cars (US) or goods wagons (UK) to carry goods from one place to another.
Some are boxcars (closed and roofed cars for cargo); others are special so they can carry special cargo.
There are hopper cars for sand, coal, ore and other granulous (sand-like) materials, flatbed cars for vehicles and machinery, tank cars for liquids, container cars for containers and even bottle cars for molten iron.
Almost anything which is not too large to fit under tunnels and bridges can be transported on special freight cars.
Passenger trains have passenger cars (US) or coaches (UK) made so people can ride them from one train station to another.
There are few long-distance passenger trains in the United States, but more in Europe and Asia.
Most passenger cars are single-deckers: there are also double-decker passenger cars, such as the Finnish Inter-City cars.
Passenger trains are usually a very comfortable way of traveling.
Many trains have electrical outlets and Wi-Fi hotspots for computers, and a special restaurant car for dining and refreshments.
There are also sleeping cars (passenger cars with beds) for long overnight voyages.
High-speed rail uses special, fast passenger trains on special tracks.
A few very fast ones are maglev trains using magnets to hover slightly off the tracks to have less friction.
The driver or engineer makes sure the train works right, and speeds it up or slows it down.
Every train needs a driver to make it run well.
The guard or conductor makes sure the train goes the right way and tells the driver if he makes a mistake.
Only steam trains have a fireman.
He makes sure the fire that powers the steam locomotive is burning properly by putting coal into the fire.
Most trains are pulled by locomotives.
Before 1900, almost all were steam locomotives.
As this kind of steam engine uses very much fuel for the work it does, steam began to give way to diesel locomotives and electric locomotives during the 1930s.
Today, most locomotives are diesel-electric locomotives.
Sometimes a train has no separate locomotive, but the prime mover (diesel engine or electric motor) is located on the first car of the train itself, and the car has engineer's cabin.
The car is called a "motor unit".
Some trains have motors in many or all of the cars.
This is called a diesel multiple unit or electric multiple unit.
Usually, both ends of the train have engineer's cabins.
These trains are especially popular in commuter traffic in large towns and cities.
Electric trains get their power from a third rail or from overhead wires.

""The Take Over, the Breaks Over"" – 3:33
Sullivan Bay is the site of the first official European settlement in Victoria, Australia.
It is a very small bay near Sorrento, Victoria.
It is close to the entrance of Port Phillip Bay,  south of the city of Melbourne.
In 1802, Governor Philip Gidley King in Sydney had written to Lord Hobart, Minister in charge of the colonies, in London, saying that Britain should start a settlement at Port Phillip Bay.
King thought it would be good area for fishing and sealing.
He was also worried that the French might settle in the area and then would control Bass Strait.
Lieutenant John Murray had explored Port Phillip Bay in 1802 and thought that the Sorrento area would be a good spot to start a settlement.
Lieutenant Governor David Collins was put in charge of starting the new settlement.
He took 307 convicts, some with wives and children, 51 soldiers, 17 free settlers, some with wives and children, and a government staff of 12, and a clergyman, the Reverend Knopwood.
The group of more than 400 people left England in April 1803, in the store ship “Ocean” and the convict ship “Calcutta.”
The two ships sailed to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Capetown in South Africa, and arrived at Port Phillip Bay on 6 October and 8 October 1803.
Only 14 people died on the trip.
Collins was unable to find a good place to land that had drinking water and good soil.
On 13 October 1803, he landed at Sullivan’s Bay, which he named after the Under Secretary of the Colonial War Department.
The new settlers were able to get water by putting wooden barrels into the sand, and letting the water in the ground soak into them.
It was salty and not nice to drink.
The soil was very sandy and not suitable for farming.
There were very few trees suitable for cutting up into building timber.
The sandy ground meant that heavy items could not be carried in a wagon, which would be stuck in the sand, but had to be dragged instead.
The small entrance to the bay made it difficult for sailing ships to get in or out safely.
The tools brought from England, such a spades, hoes and axes, were very badly made and broke easily.
Coscape.
He had hoped to increase the food supply with fresh fish and kangaroos, but they were not able to catch any.
Life at Sullivan’s Bay
1 Jacket
1 pair of trousers
2 shirts
1 waist coat
12 breeches (socks)
1 pair of shoes
1 hat
7 pounds of beef or 4 pounds of pork (salted)
7 pounds of biscuit
1 pound of flour
6 ounces of sugar
Women were to be given 2/3 of that amount, children half the amount, and small children under 5 years, ¼ of the ration.
A convict printer, Robert Walsh printed the orders and instructions for the settlement on a small printing press.
During the time of the settlement 43 such orders were printed.
Collins told the convicts not to go into the water to wash because of the danger from hungry sharks and stingrays.
Some tried to escape by walking overland to Sydney.
They soon gave up and went back to the settlement.
Settler, John Skilton, died on 17 October 1803.
On 25 November 1803, the first child, William James Hobart Thorne, was born to a soldier, Sergeant Thorne and his wife.
One child of convict parents was John Pascoe Fawkner, who returned to start the settlement of Melbourne in 1835.
In November, Collins sent the “Ocean” to Sydney with a letter asking King to let him abandon the settlement, and move it to either Port Dalrymple or the Derwent River in Van Diemen's Land.
The “Ocean” came back in December and Collins wasted no time in getting most of the convicts and settlers packed up.
He gave an order that convicts had to work on Sundays to make sure the group was ready to leave as soon as possible.
On 30 January 1804, the “Ocean” set sail for the Derwent River.
Lieutenant William Sladden was left behind in charge of a small group.
The “Ocean” returned and on 20 May 1804, the settlement was abandoned.
Three people were left behind after the settlement was abandoned, two were escaped convicts and one was a runaway soldier, William Buckley.
When John Batman came to settle in Victoria 30 years later, he found Buckley living with an aboriginal tribe.
The only sign of the settlement now is four graves at Sullivan Bay, and the remains of a water barrel in the Latrobe Library collection.
