Guide to Australia (Charles Sturt University): an encyclopaedic collection of essential information about Australia. It contains information as diverse as the Australian constitution, current weather, and lamington recipes. Ultimately the project aims to compile links to all major on-line information resources about Australia for distribution via World Wide Web. Our aim is that ultimately it will grow into an on-line hypertext encyclopedia. The Guide also incorporates the Register of Australian Web Servers.

The Museum of Sydney (MoS) (located at 37 Phillip St Sydney) is a multi-media, multi-disciplinary installation about the nature and narration of this place now called Sydney. The Museum has been built in the heart of Sydney upon the archaeological remains of Australia's first Government House - not as an imperial mausoleum but as a meeting place. Like the city itself, MoS is a spatial composition. The Museum of Sydney clears a post-colonial space where an array of Sydney voices, of past and present, may speak and converse. MoS explores the worlds of Sydney through objects, pictures, stories and digital-media technologies.
The PowerHouse Museum is the largest museum in Australia, with brilliant exhibitions covering science, technology, decorative arts, design and Australian social history. There is also a constantly changing program of temporary exhibitions and events.
Sydney Observatory - Built in 1858, Sydney Observatory is Australia's oldest Observatory, and one of the most significant sites in the nation's scientific history. It is located near Sydney's historic Rocks district and the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. Historically the Observatory was essential to shipping, navigation, meteorology and timekeeping as well as to the study of the stars seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Astronomers worked and lived in the building until 1982 when Sydney Observatory became part of the Powerhouse Museum. Today the Observatory is a museum and public observatory with an important role in astronomy education and public telescope viewing.
