Craig
I stumbled across your site yesterday, following up my interests in local history on the web, and discovered a common ancestral link with the bushranger Francis Fitzmaurice. If you would like to read more about Francis Fitzmaurice, I recently compiled a file on him for a local researcher and would be happy to send you an electronic copy.
I thought it was fascinating that two people descended from this man should find themselves occupied in a similar field over a century down the track. Like you I grew up in NW Tas (at Burnie), but my interest in history is a fairly recent thing - developing out of a project to produce a people's history of the Tamar region. http://www.onthetide.com
Francis Fitzmaurice was my grandmother's grandfather, and his career as a bushranger in NSW and Tasmania was a very interesting one, revealing a man of tremendous courage and determination, with a very broad anti-authoritarian streak and a brilliant sense of humour. I have always been very proud to claim him as an ancestor.
best wishes

Hi - I just found your site when I did a search on globalisation and community economy. I'm in the process of putting together an ethical consumer guide for West End in Brisbane, and I'd like to publish your web site in the section on globalisation and local communities. I'd also like to include a link to your site from ours, which is www.spiral.org.au
This current project stemmed from my Master thesis which was about 'community responses to globalisation. It was an action - research process with an intentional community in West End officially, but really I just made my mates sit around and talk about globalisation. Anyway we developed a community action framework for personal - local - global action in response to globalisation. I also applied the framework to a local campaign to save inner city bushland and to global action such as s11, which I was at. It was good to look at the photos again, I especially like the one with a a couple of people were talking to the cops who were leaning over the road blocks - it was a very sweet image. Anyway - I could email you a copy of my thesis if you're interested - it's based in community development theory - so it's a different approach to the work your doing, but also explores the connections between peoples experience of changing neighbourhoods and their views on globalisation. I could email you a copy if your interested.
really liked your site, cheers,
Amelia

Hey there Craig,
I was just looking at your milkbar website and found it really interesting.
I'm George and I'm at Melb Uni. I'm currently writing an essay on people's responses to Starbucks on Lygon street. - basically wanting to see how Australians feel about big chain stores (particularly American!!) opening up in Australia. This topic interests me as i am quite angry about the whole thing. Many people have responded negatively to Starbucks (surprise surprise!) on Lygon, either because they hate the coffee, or they hate the idea of a big American coffee company trying to push its way into Melbourne's Little Italy. I'm particularly interested in the latter. I think a lot of people are sad that food franchises/chains are taking away the character and culture. If you have any time, I would be very interested in your view on globalisation, particularly the cultural aspects, and also what you think of Starbucks on Lygon street!
George :)
PS - when i searched for "globalisation in australia" on google - i was asked "do you mean 'globalization in australia'" ha!
