History

European Settlement

William Henry was one of Ku-ring-gai's first European settlers, who used the area for farming. There were a number of fruit orchards and market gardens in the area.


Other significant settlers were David Mathew, who owned a property called Clanville, and Richard Archbold, who was granted an area of 600 acres adjacent to Clanville. Archbold later acquired Clanville and set up an orchard on the property. Archbold's son-in-law had a stone cottage called Rose Villa, which was later demolished to make way for the northern railway line. The area eventually derived its name from Rose Villa.[3]

East Roseville, New South Wales - Travelmate (270 words)
The suburb clings to an escarpment that falls down to Middle Harbour, a tranquil stretch of water that stretches from Ku-ring-gai Chase to join the main Sydney Harbour at Clontarf.
Densely bushed reserves flank Middle Harbour for much of its length and the waterside bush in the Roseville area is interlaced with scenic walking tracks.
Buses, trains and major roads and freeways also connect Roseville with the rest of the North Shore, including the major shopping centres of Hornsby and Chatswood, the exciting range of traditional and ethnic restaurants at Crows Nest and the popular watering holes sprinkled through the concrete and glass jungle of North Sydney.
Carbon trade or tax? - 14 May 2008 - New Scientist (329 words)
The simplest and cheapest solution would be to impose carbon taxes at source - at the point where fossil fuels are extracted.
It would make everyone understand that there is a problem which relates to the consumption of fossil fuel energy.
The taxes collected can be used for research into sources of sustainable energy or to maintain a level playing field for trade by subsidising exports to countries that do not cost their fossil fuels fairly.
