A new organic waste disposal machine has seen the University of Wollongong’s Unibar lead the way in environmentally friendly waste management. The use of the machine has been implemented as a result of a “bin trim audit” on UOW Pulse in late 2016.

Under the command of the Commonwealth, the Australian Infantry Force lost 39,652 sons and daughters in the Second World War. Frank Richard Archibald was one of them. A proud Gumbaynggirr man killed on the battlefields of Papua New Guinea on November 24th, 1942. His life, and his death sewed a new stitch into the fabric of Australia’s wartime history.
