- <p>Betro Abicare (sometimes spelt Abikhair) was a Lebanese immigrant, builder and entrepreneur who made a major contribution to the development of Albury’s commercial centre.</p><p>He came to Australia in 1889, during a wave of migration from Lebanon that started in the 1870s. Betro began by hawking goods between farms but by 1898 had settled in Albury, where he established a successful draper’s business.</p><p>He erected a building known both as ‘The Big Store’ and ‘The Australian Building’ in 1912, and the magnificent Regent Theatre on the opposite corner in 1927. Both buildings remain as notable Albury landmarks to this day.</p>

The founding members established the Club with the central aim of ‘the rescue of the distressed’ in recognition that sea bathing was a danger for those who weren’t used to swimming at Sydney’s beaches. Other clubs then began to form nearby, leading to the establishment of the Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales (now Surf Life Saving NSW). These clubs spread nationwide, solidifying surf lifesavers as an iconic symbol of Australia.</p><p>The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club remains in operation to this day, rescuing over 12,000 swimmers and surfers every year.</p></div>

- productShortDescription:
- On 24 January 1988, the Bondi Māori Community group Kotahitanga worked with Aboriginal activists and their allies to present the Building Bridges concert. The concert was held in support of the Long March for Justice Freedom and Hope, which was itself a response to the bicentennial celebrations taking place on 26 January. The March saw busloads of Aboriginal people arrive from across Australia, many of whom attended the concert.
