Francis Greenway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Greenway's face was shown on the first Australian decimal-currency $10 note (1966-93), and he is also the eponym of a NSW Federal electorate and a Canberra suburb. Greenway was born in the English city of Bristol, where he became an architect.

Supreme Court - Address on the Occasion of the Re-Opening of No 2 Court Francis Greenway Wing of the King Street Supreme Court Complex: Lawlink NSW Greenway planned this court building with an entrance front to face the park, the dimensions of which were intended to be 70 by 46 feet, a room large enough for over 500 auditors. The interior arrangement was entirely altered from Greenway’s design which had consisted of a large courtroom on both floors borne out by the fenestration and the circular stair positioned externally and not intruding into the large rooms. The Greenway recessed colonnade of the Doric order had not been built so the circular geometrical staircase stood isolated in an open paved terrace exposed to the violence of the winds at all seasons of the year but especially during the winter. www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au /sc/sc.nsf/pages/spigelman_170501   (1353 words)

NSW Government Architect Greenway received his pardon from Governor Macquarie, although life as a free man was almost harder for him, than when he was a convict with privileges. Greenway's brashness and self confidence managed to get him noticed by Governor Macquarie within a few months of arrival and when the Governor asked him to provide drawings in a particular style, by copying the design of a Courthouse, the character of Greenway came out very swiftly. Ellis goes on to compare Greenway both in size and in character with his countrymen of the west, Sir Christopher Wren and with that great architect of Welsh border ancestry, Mr Frank Lloyd Wright to whom he was closely related in artistic temperament and self confidence. www.govarch.dpws.nsw.gov.au /history/greenway_lewis.htm   (3928 words)

Back Pages: Fear, loathing, etc #15 Meanwhile, as countless columnists continue to bucket Howard over his pre-emption gaffe and find the interest rate scare baseless, Tom Allard proves once again that the Rodent is a dirty, rotten, filthy mass liar who's unfit for office (yawn), this time on WMD advice; as Dolly furiously presses ice-cream cones into his forehead. Howard is better at winning elections than governance, and he isn't that good at winning elections. It also shows that while Howard and the L-NP started the election campaign clearly behind on 2pp, not a huge amount of positive policy on their own part is required to ensure that they get a fourth term. backpagesblog.com /weblog/archives/000647.html   (12 words)
