The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, Christian countries, and the Christians with their various denominations, from the 1st century to the present.
Christianity originated with the ministry of Jesus, a Jewish teacher and healer who proclaimed the imminent kingdom of God and was crucified c. AD 30–33 in Jerusalem in the Roman province of Judea.
His followers believe that, according to the Gospels, he was the Son of God and that he died for the forgiveness of sins and was raised from the dead and exalted by God, and will return soon at the inception of God's kingdom.
The earliest followers of Jesus were apocalyptic Jewish Christians.
The inclusion of gentiles in the developing early Christian Church caused a schism between Judaism and Jewish Christianity during the first two centuries of the Christian Era.
In 313, Emperor Constantine I issued the Edict of Milan legalizing Christian worship.
In 380, with the Edict of Thessalonica put forth under Theodosius I, the Roman Empire officially adopted Trinitarian Christianity as its state religion, and Christianity established itself as a predominantly Roman religion in the state church of the Roman Empire.
Christological debates about the human and divine nature of Jesus consumed the Christian Church for two centuries, and seven ecumenical councils were called to resolve these debates.
Arianism was condemned at the First Council of Nicea (325), which supported the Trinitarian doctrine as expounded in the Nicene Creed.

Khabarovsk was named after E.P. Khabarov, who made several undertaken journeys to the Amur River basin in the mid-17th century.
Khabarovsk was founded in May 31,1858 as a military outpost.
Khabarovsk's nodal position at the point at which the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the Amur River made it an important focus of the Russian Far East, and at one time it administered the entire area to the Bering Strait, which connects Russia and North America.

The Tibetan calendar, or the Tibetan lunar calendar is a calendar based on 12 or 13 phases of the moon, which starts with a new moon, or when the moon is completely dark.
A lunar month is added every 2 or 3 years to equal the solar year.

During the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th – 9th century), Tibetan months were named according to the four seasons:
First spring month (dpyid zla ra ba), middle spring month (dpyid zla 'bring po), last spring month (dpyid zla mtha' chung),
first summer month (dbyar zla ra ba), middle summer month (dbyar zla 'bring po), last summer month (dbyar zla mtha' chung),
first autumn month (ston zla ra ba), middle autumn month (ston-zla 'bring-po), last autumn month (ston zla mtha' chung),
first winter month (dgun zla ra ba), middle winter month (dgun-zla 'bring-po) and last winter month (dgun zla mtha' chung).
Since the 12th century, the months were named from the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac:
taag (Tiger),
ye (Hare),
'drug (Dragon),
drul  (Snake),
ta (Horse),
lug (Sheep)
te (Monkey),
tshya (Bird),
kyi (Dog),
phag (Boar),
tshyiwa (Rat)
lang (Ox).
With the introduction of the calendar of the "Kalacakratantra" in the second half of the 11th century, months were also named by lunar mansions.
Within that, a full moon took place each month:
In the second half of the 13th century, a system was introduced of counting the month by ordinal numbers, also called the Hor month:
Numantia (Spanish: Numancia) was an ancient Celtiberian settlement.
Its remains are located 7 km north of the city of Soria, on a hill known as Cerro de la Muela in the municipality of Garray.
Numantia is famous for its role in the Celtiberian Wars.
It was a city that became famous for its resistance against the Roman armies.
The first human settlements in Numantia were established in the III millennium BC.
Shepherds who made seasonal movements with their flocks inhabited this area.
The area had a harsh climate but the pastures were rich.
Towards the 8th century BC.,
handmade ceramics were used in this settlement.
From the 7th century BC.,
the settlement became a castro.
Around 350 BC.,
Numantia had many inhabitants and was born as a city.
Roman authors don't agree on the people that lived there.
Pliny the Elder believed it was the Pellendones.
However, other authors, like Strabo and Ptolemy say in their writings that the city belongs to the Arevaci people.
In 153 BC, Numantia had its first serious conflict with Rome.
After 20 years of fighting, in 133 BC, the Roman Senate gave Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the task of destroying Numantia.
After 13 months of siege, the Numantians decided to burn the city before surrendering.
The few survivors were sold as slaves.
Numantia was rebuilt in the time of Augustus.
It was repopulated with Celtiberians.
Today, Numancia is an archaeological site in the province of Soria.
It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Site of Cultural Interest) on the 29th August 1882.
This site is being excavated by a group of archaeologists from the Complutense University of Madrid under the direction of Alfredo Jimeno.
It receives funds from the Junta de Castile and León.
Since 2007 there is a controversy as the Junta of Castile and León allowed the construction of industrial estate near the ruins.
Several institutions have protested against that plan despite the statement from official authorities saying that the remains won't be damaged.

Mary Hemings Bell''' (1753-18??)
was a woman from Virginia.
She was the oldest child of Elizabeth "Betty" Hemings.
History does not say who her father was, but it was not John Wayles.
Mary Hemings was the half-sister of Sally Hemings and James Hemings.
For part of her life, she was enslaved to Thomas Jefferson.
According to Mary Hemings' nephew, Madison Hemings, Mary Hemings' grandmother was a fully African woman and might have been born in Africa.
Mary Hemings' mother was called Elizabeth "Betty" Hemings.
Mary Hemings' nephew Madison Hemings told the story: Elizabeth Hemings' mother was an African woman and her father was an English sea captain named Hemings.
Mary Hemings was the oldest.
History does not say who her father was.
Mary Hemings was 19 or 20 years old.
Mary Hemings had four children while she lived at Monticello.
Her son Joseph Fosset might have been then son of a free white man named William Fossett who also lived at Monticello.
Historians do not know for sure what their relationship was like, but most of them think that if she named her son "Fosset," she must have liked him.
Thomas Jefferson gave Mary Hemings' two oldest children away.
Daniel went to live with Jefferson's sister and Molly went to live with his daughter.
When Thomas Jefferson was in Paris as the United States Ambassador to France, Mary Hemings worked for a man named Thomas Bell who lived in Charlottesville, Virginia.
She brought her children Joseph and Betsy with her.
She had two more children at Bell's house.
In 1792, Mary Hemings asked Thomas Jefferson to sell her to Bell, and he did.
Historian Annette Gordon-Reed says this was a normal thing for Jefferson to do: To sell an enslaved person so they could live in the same place as someone else in their family.
She writes that Jefferson knew Bell was the father of Hemings' young children but did not talk about it.
He wrote to his manager, Nicholas Lewis, saying to "dispose of Mary according to her desire, with such of her younger children as she chose."
He meant that Bell could buy Mary Hemings and his own children but not Mary Hemings' other children.
They could not stay and live with Bell and their half-siblings.
They had to go back to Monticello without their mother.
Mary lived with Bell until he died in 1800.
He did not legally free her but he did unofficially free her.
In his will, he left his property to their children.
He wrote his will as if Mary and his children were free, and his neighbors respected it.
When Jefferson sold Mary Hemings to Thomas Bell, he did not let her keep her older children with her.
They went back to his house at Monticello.
Children with earlier partners:
Daniel Farley (1722-1837)
Molly (1777-after 1790)
Joseph Fosset (1780-1858)
Betsy Hemings (1783-1857)
Children with Thomas Bell:

She was the mother of Sally Hemings and eleven other people.
Hers was the largest family to live at Monticello.
According to Elizabeth Hemings' grandson, Madison Hemings, her mother was a fully African woman and might have been born in Africa.
Historian Annette Gordon-Reed said that there were many girls named "Thenia" in the Hemings family, and they might have been named after Parthenia, also spelled Parthena.
So Elizabeth Hamings' mother's white name was probably Parthenia or Sarah.
The sea captain tried to buy Elizabeth Hemings from her owner when she was born.
Even though he offered the owner a lot of money, the owner still said no.
Elizabeth Hemings lived as a house servant.
That means she did not grow tobacco or cotton in the fields like other enslaved people in Virginia did.
Historians think that Elizabeth Hemings' job with the Wayles family was to help raise Martha Wayles, later Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson.
After Johyn Wayles' wife died, he made Elizabeth Hemings his concubine, which means they had a sexual relationship but he did not free her or marry her.
Historians do not know how Elizabeth Hemings felt about this.
Historians think Elizabeth Hemings took care of Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson when she became sick and that she was there when she died.
In the last years of her life, Elizabeth Hemings moved to a small house partway down the mountain, away from the main house of Monticello and from her children and grandchildren.
She lived next to free working families.
She raised vegetables and chickens.
Later, archaeologists would find that she owned many pieces of good porcelain China.

(, ) is a mountain range and an active volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain.
It erupted twice in the 20th century, in 1949 () and again in 1971 ().
The latest eruption started on 19 September 2021.
The 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption was a volcanic eruption of Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma, one of the most active volcanoes in the Canary Islands, Spain.
It is the first volcanic eruption on the island since the eruption of Teneguía in 1971.
At 85 days, it is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma.
The eruption began at 16:12 UTC on 19 September 2021 in a forested area called Cabeza de Vaca.
An earthquake swarm started on 11 September, which led to the volcanic eruption on 19 September.
Around 300 people from the local area were evacuated shortly after the eruption.
The eruption led to the evacuation of more than 8,000 people, and the lava has destroyed more than 3,000 buildings.
It is the most damaging volcanic eruption on La Palma since records began.
Initially, when the eruption started, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0, when it was a purely lava eruption.
But with the ashfall that began a week later, the Volcanic Explosivity Index of the eruption rose to 2.
On 28 September, at around 23:02 UTC, the lava flow reached the sea at the Perdido Beach.
On 20 November, the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was upgraded from VEI 2 to VEI 3, when the ashfall reached 10 million m³.
On 12 December, the volcanic eruption broke the local record, when it reached 85 days of continuous activity.
The eruption is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma.
Previously, the eruption of the Tajuya volcano in 1585 was the longest at 84 days.
No reliable data is available about earlier volcanic eruptions, before Spanish colonization of La Palma in the 15th century.
On 13 December, the volcanic eruption stopped.
Noting weak seismicity and zero tremor, scientists say that a resumption of the eruption is highly unlikely, giving locals hope that it is over.
On 25 December 2021, after 12 days with no activity from the volcano, the eruption was officially declared to have ended.
Gabrielle Venora Petito (March 19, 1999 –  August 27, 2021) was an American woman from Suffolk County, New York, who was reported missing on September 11, 2021.
Her body was found on September 19 in Wyoming with her cause of death being a homicide.
Her partner, Brian Laundrie, was the main suspect behind her death.
He was found dead on October 20, 2021.
Petito was traveling across the United States with her fiancé.
Her family lost contact with her in late August when she was in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
Her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, is missing and wanted for questioning in her disappearance and death.
Body found
On September 19, 2021, authorities said they found a body that matched what Petito looked like.
It was discovered in Bridger–Teton National Forest, Wyoming.
Two days later it was confirmed that the remains were Petito's and, based on reports from an autopsy, it was reported that her cause of death was homicide.
In October, her death was determined to have occurred three to four weeks before her body was found with the cause being homicide by strangulation.
Brian Laundrie
Police officials are searching for Petito's ex-fiance Brian Laundrie, was missing beginning on September 14.
He was the main suspect in her death.
On September 22, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a warrant for Laundrie's arrest on charges of debit card fraud.
On October 20, Laundrie's remains and some of his belongings were found at a park in North Port, Florida, that had recently been underwater due to flooding.

Recess is an American animated television series created by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere (credited as "Paul and Joe") and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, with animation done by Grimsaem, Anivision, Plus One Animation, Sunwoo Animation, and Toon City.
The series focuses on six elementary school students and their interaction with other classmates and teachers.
The title refers to the recess period during the daily schedule, in the North American tradition of educational schooling, when students are not in lessons and are outside in the schoolyard.
During recess, the children form their own society, complete with government and a class structure, set against the backdrop of a regular school.
Recess portrays the lives of six fourth graders—cheeky and popular lovable rogue Theodore Jasper "T.J." Detweiler (Ross Malinger, Andrew Lawrence), Jock Vince LaSalle (Rickey D'Shon Collins), tomboy Ashley Spinelli (Pamela Adlon), wise fool Mikey Blumberg (Jason Davis), geek Gretchen Grundler (Ashley Johnson), and awkward new kid Gus Griswald (Courtland Mead)—as they go about their daily lives in a school environment at Third Street Elementary School located in Little Rock, Arkansas.[4][5] A major satirical point of the show is that the community of students at school is a microcosm of traditional human society complete with its own government, class system, and set of unwritten laws.
They are ruled by a monarch, a sixth grader named King Bob, who has various enforcers to make sure his decrees are carried out.
The society has a long list of rigid values and social norms that imposes a high expectation of conformity upon all the students.

Millard Owen Sheets (June 24, 1907 – March 31, 1989) was an American artist, teacher, and architectural designer.
He was one of the earliest of the California Scene Painting artists and helped define the art movement.
Many of his large-scale building-mounted mosaics from the mid-20th century are still extant in Southern California.
His paintings are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Chicago Art Institute, the National Gallery in Washington D.C.; and the Los Angeles County Museum.
Millard Sheets was born June 24, 1907, and grew up in the Pomona Valley, east of Los Angeles.
He is the son of John Gosper Sheets and (1878 – 1947) and Marilla Mae Owen (1883 – 1907).
He attended the Chouinard Art Institute and studied with painters Frank Tolles Chamberlin and Clarence Hinkle.
While he was still a teenager, his watercolors were accepted for exhibition in the annual California Water Color Society show.
By the age of 19, he was elected into membership of the California Water Color Society.
The following year he was hired to teach watercolor painting even before his graduation from Chouinard.
In 1929 he won second prize in the Texas Wildflowers Competitive Exhibitions, and the generous award allowed Sheets to travel to Europe for a year to further his art education.
By the early 1930s he began to achieve national recognition as a prominent American artist.
He was exhibiting in Paris, New York City, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, San Antonio, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and many other cities throughout the United States.
In Los Angeles he was recognized as the leading figure and driving force behind the California Style watercolor movement.
Between 1935 and 1941, his recognition, awards, and output increased, winning him repeated mention in Art Digest and a color reproduction of his work in the book Eyes on America.
In 1935 at age 28, he was the subject of a monograph published in Los Angeles.
His art sales enabled him to travel again to Europe, Central America, and Hawaii, where he painted on location.
Although his watercolor techniques during this period ranged from very tight to very loose, a consistent, he nevertheless exhibited a personal style.
During World War II, he was an artist-correspondent for Life Magazine and the United States Army Air Forces in India and Burma.
Many of his works from this period document the scenes of famine, war, and death that he witnessed.
His wartime experience also informed his post-war art for a number of years, where while painting in California and Mexico in the 1940s his work followed dark hues and depressing subjects.
After the 1950s his style shifted toward brighter colors and subjects from his worldwide travels.
Watercolor and oil painting were only part of Sheets's art career.
Through his teaching at Chouinard Art Institute, Otis Art Institute, Scripps College and other institutions, hundreds of artists learned how to paint, and were then guided into art careers.
He directed the art exhibition at the Los Angeles County Fair for many years and brought world-class work to Southern California.
During the Great Depression, he joined forces with Edward Bruce to hire artists for the Public Works of Art Project, the first New Deal art project.
In 1946, he served as a president of the California Water Color Society.
In later years, he worked as an architect, illustrator, muralist, printmaker, and art exhibition juror.
Outside of California, he took on commissions for the Detroit Public Library, the Mayo Clinic, the dome of the National Shrine, the University of Notre Dame library, the Hilton Hotel in Honolulu, and the Mercantile National Bank in Dallas.
In 1953, Sheets was appointed director of Otis Art Institute (later named Otis College of Art and Design).
Under his leadership, the school's academic program was restructured to offer BFA and MFA degrees, and a ceramics department was created, headed by Peter Voulkos.
During that time, a ceramics building, gallery, library, and studio wing were completed.
By the time Sheets left Otis in 1962, the form and direction of the college had changed dramatically.
Millard Sheets Art Center
The Millard Sheets Art Center first began as the Fine Arts Program of the Los Angeles County Fair in 1922.
The 20,000+ square-foot art center was built in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration to house the program, the first major gallery dedicated solely to art in Los Angeles County.
Each year, the gallery provided visitors to the Los Angeles County Fair with access to art work found throughout the world.
In 1994 the building was dedicated to Millard Sheets and in 2013 was identified by Fairplex as the home for year-round art education and exhibitions and is currently a part of The Learning Centers at Fairplex.
Mosaic murals at Home Savings Bank branches
In the late 1950s, Sheets was commissioned by Howard F. Ahmanson to design Home Savings Bank branches throughout Southern California that would serve as community landmarks by expressing "community values" or presenting "a celebratory version of the community history."
To accomplish this goal, Sheets designed his branch buildings with exterior façades containing large mosaic works depicting local heritage.
The Ahmanson commissions multiplied to include more than 80 branch buildings after the initial 1955 commission.
Sheets resigned his teaching position at Scripps College and established the Sheets Studio in Claremont, California, employing a series of artists.
Sheets produced these mosaics as commercial commissions, and he rarely titled them.
Nevertheless, they are now considered official public art and are titled by their images or theme.
Although they enjoy some protections under the California Arts Preservation Act, many have been destroyed.
The following Sheets Studio mosaics in Southern California have survived deterioration and demolition:
(1962) Early Pomona Family, Pomona, California, United States
(1968, 1982) Indians and Yuccas, Claremont, California, United States
(1971/2013) Mi Casa Es Su Casa, Beverly Hills, California, United States
(1979) Scenes of the Old West, Buena Park, California, United States
(1980) Redlands Heritage, Redlands, California, United States
Sheets died on March 31, 1989 at his home in Anchor Bay in Mendocino County, California after a long illness.
A service was held at his home and at the First unitarian Church of San Diego.

Charles Clark Reid (August12,1937  June1,2019) was an American painter, illustrator, and teacher, notable for his watercolor style.
He has won numerous national and international awards for both his watercolor and oil works, and also hosted many workshops in the US and abroad.
He has had numerous books published, instructional DVDs and created a postage stamp and an iconic ad campaign with his watercolor depictions.
His watercolor works and oil paintings are in private and college museum collections.
Reid became interested in painting at the age of 14 when his parents encouraged him by letting him use a room in the family home for his art.
His father gave him illustrated history books and books about Charles Marion Russell and Frederic Remington, both known for their paintings of the American Old West.
Reid's father enrolled him in a correspondence course at the Famous Artists School, when he was 16 years old.

Charles Reid was a pupil of Frank Reilly who was tutored by professor of drawing George Bridgman and by Franck-Vincent DuMond, both of whom were influenced and connected to the French academic style of the late 19th century.
Reilly passed on these influences to Reid.
Both Bridgman and DuMond had studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and at the Académie Julian.
Reid received teachings based on the contributions of the great pictorial movements and his art is influenced by French impressionists like Edouard Manet, whose simplification of forms he appreciated.
As Amanda Apostol said he also refers to the Nabis and particularly Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, and Toulouse Lautrec, who Reid also counts among his favorite painters.
He took from them the use of pure colors for half and midtones values, and the absence of a center of interest.
Reid was also influenced by American post-impressionists such as John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer and the more contemporary Fairfield Porter, Andrew Wyeth and Joan Mitchell.
While on his honeymoon in Madeira, he met George Jacobs (1926-2002) who colored pen and ink drawings with watercolor.
George Jacob's method of painting with watercolor relies heavily on pen lines.
In this early period they took daily van trips, painting street scenes and landscapes with Reid first copying Jacobs' style.
When Reid came back to the US in 1964, at twenty-seven he took a job teaching at the Famous Artists School becoming the youngest instructor employed there.
At the time, there had been no watercolor instruction.
At the end of 4 years, he was asked to set up a figure class in watercolor with no experience other than the month with George Jacobs.
His supervisor, Frank Jones, gave him a brief demonstration of a tugboat, highlighting the wet-in-wet technique, and in how to deal with his edges to improve his watercolor technique.
That was enough to help create this weekly figure class.
He taught for 10 years at the correspondence school, and he spent each day at the easel.
This work served as the basis for his first book Figure Painting in Watercolor.
Its publication in 1973 put him in the forefront of people's mind as a watercolorist.
Charles Reid found inspiration in the fashion illustrations of Dorothy Hood, which he admired for her direct and simple style.
In the late 70's and 80's he traveled a great deal and spent time in airports where he developed his contour drawing skill by drawing fellow passengers waiting for flights.
His work was simple and direct.
For portraits he used contour drawings to connect the figure to the background.
As a pupil of F. Reilly he focused his works on drawing and usage of perfecting tonal value in his painting.
In the book by JM Parramon, "Creative Watercolor", the author set out the technical elements that establish the singularity of Charles Reid's style.
The contour-drawing and his way of applying the color.
According to Parramon his paintings show how he "associates the precision of the form to the ease of the line and the color".
His watercolor technique was unconventional.
He painted from mid-darks to lights rather than starting light and going dark.
He used alla-prima approach, and didn't glaze, which is the traditional way to paint watercolor.
He only glazed sometimes for the features of the figures.
Charles Reid perceived still life in an abstract way, seeing large splot of light and dark.
Then he put paint as a diagram of colors in order to establish the color combination of his painting.
He painted directly onto paper, with the intention of getting the right value and color on the first try.
This contributes to the sense of spontaneity and freshness to his work.
Although not necessarily happy with mistakes, he considered them to be essential in retaining a sense of freshness, suggesting things are "alive".
Contrary to what his style suggests, he worked in a meticulous manner avoiding overworking, each brushstroke counts, and he deals with edges.
He considers painting a "happening", like jazz.
To American Artist he said, "The more you know the more you can improvise".
He starts each painting like a new experience, pretending he does not know how to paint.
He looked at his watercolors more as poems that are completed after an hour or two, whereas his oils were like novels that required a more detailed depiction of the scene.
Reid was a studio painter and a plein-air painter, but he tended to prefer the warmth of the south light, thinking it worked well for him.
On March 18, 1972, Reid was the first to design an 8 cent US Postal Service stamp that highlighted Family Planning, issued in New York City.
It's a vertical stamp showing a family group (husband, wife, daughter and son) walking forward.
His inspiration for the painting came from a family photograph.
He painted the illustration for the L.L. Bean Maine Hunting Boot, which has been widely used in advertising in their catalogs, on truck sides and on large cubes throughout stores.
The painting also appears on the cover of The Making of an American Icon by Leon Gorman about his experience as the grandson of the founder of L.L. Bean.
He illustrated a limited edition of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes Of Wrath" published in 1978 by Franklin Library.
Further collaborations appeared in American Heritage, Harper's, Sports Afield, Reader's Digest Books and the Franklin Press.
As a teacher, Reid hosted fifteen to twenty workshops a year over thirty-five to forty years.
He wrote twelve books, eleven of which are about watercolor.
He made nine instructional DVDs:
Figurative Watercolour
English Watercolour Sketchbook
Painting Flowers in Watercolor
Watercolor Secrets
Flowers in Watercolor
10 Lessons Course
Watercolor Landscape Masterclass
The Figure in Watercolor
He judged in numerous painting exhibitions as well.

The Malabar Headland National Park is a national park on the coast of New South Wales, Australia .
It is around 13 kilometres southeast of Sydney CBD in the Local Government Area Randwick City near Malabar .
With an area of 18 hectares, it is the smallest national park in the state.
Malabar Headland is a headland and has a size of 1.77 km².
Use of the headland
The area of the headland has been mainly used for agriculture since the European settlement.
Later, the Europeans built residential and military buildings and also practiced shooting and equestrian sports on the site.
During World War II, Malabar Headland was fortified for military defence purposes.
The historic facilities are now a listed building.
There is also a large target practice area on the peninsula called the ANZAC Rifle Range, which is still in use today.
On the headland, one of the few areas in the south of Sydney with its original landscape, with a vegetation of different species in the form of Banksia bushes, has largely been preserved.
In National Park and on the peninsula a subspecies was a bat (Miniopterus schreibersii oceanensis) demonstrated further grey head flying foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) pezoporus (Pezoporus wallicus wallicus), sooty oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) and the high-risk Gold Rosella (Neophema chrysogaster ).
The national park is administered by the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council .

Laurel and Hardy were a comedy duo act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957).
From the late 1920s to the mid-1940s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.
Their signature theme song, known as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos" (by Hollywood composer T. Marvin Hatley) was heard over their films' opening credits, and became as emblematic of them as their bowler hats.
