Here is a link to a 99% Invisible episode on money that talks about Australia's currency:
And a link to the Reserve Bank of Australia's website:
Reserve Bank - Role and Functions
The Reserve Bank of Australia is Australia's central bank. Its duty is to contribute to the stability of the currency, full employment, and the economic prosperity and welfare of the Australian people. It does this by setting the cash rate to meet an inflation target, working to maintain a strong financial system and efficient payments system, and issuing the nation's banknotes. The Bank also manages Australia's foreign exchange reserves and provides banking services to the government.

Reserve Bank of Australia
The Reserve Bank of Australia came into being on 14 January 1960 as Australia's central bank and banknote issuing authority, when the Reserve Bank Act 1959 removed the central banking functions from the Commonwealth Bank.
The bank has the responsibility of providing services to the Government of Australia in addition to also providing services to other central banks and official institutions. It currently consists of the Payments System Board, which governs the payments system policy of the bank, and the Reserve Bank Board, which governs all other monetary and banking policies of the bank.

SYDNEY LA PEROUSE & CONGWONG BEACH
SYDNEY – LA PEROUSE & CONGWONG BEACH
On a hot summery day, we went to Congwong beach at La Perouse. What a gorgeous day it turned out to be, plenty of strong wind, (you can hear it in the video) and gorgeous crystal clear warm water. Congwong is a very small family beach, beloved by many and its perfect for snorkeling and swimming because the swells are gentle. I hope you enjoy this video, if you have any questions or observations please include them in the comments section below. If you would like to indulge in more of my little videos, please hit subscribe and the little bell, also I would greatly appreciate a “like” too, if you enjoyed ☺)
Till next time, be happy and keep smiling like you own the world!
A little about La Perouse:-
La Perouse is a suburb in south-eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The suburb of La Perouse is located about 14 kilometres southeast of the Sydney central business district, in the City of Randwick.
The La Perouse peninsula is the northern headland of Botany Bay. It is notable for its old military outpost at Bare Island and the Kamay Botany Bay National Park. Congwong Bay Beach, Little Congwong Beach, and the beach at Frenchmans Bay provide protected swimming areas in Botany Bay. La Perouse is one of few Sydney suburbs with a French name, others being Sans Souci, Engadine and Vaucluse. Kurnell is located opposite, on the southern headland of Botany Bay.
La Perouse was named after the French navigator Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse (1741–88), who landed on the northern shore of Botany Bay west of Bare Island on 26 January 1788. Captain Arthur Phillip and the first fleet of convicts had arrived in Botany Bay a few days earlier. Louis XVI of France had commissioned Lapérouse to explore the Pacific.[3] In April 1770 James Cook's expedition had sailed onto the east coast of Australia whilst exploring the south Pacific searching for Terra Australis or ‘Land of the South’. Upon King Louis XVI's orders, Lapérouse departed Brest, France, in command of the Astrolabe and Boussole on 1 August 1785 on a scientific voyage of the Pacific inspired by the voyages of Cook. La Perouse in Sydney's south is named after the leader of this French expedition.
The first building in the area was the octagonal stone tower constructed in 1820-22 as accommodation for a small guard of soldiers stationed there to prevent smuggling, and the tower still stands today.[20] By 1885, an Aboriginal reserve had been established in the suburb and a number of missions were operated in the area. The original church was dismantled and moved to the corner of Elaroo and Adina Avenues, where it still stands.
A kiosk was built in 1896 to cater for tourists who came to see the attractions, including snake-handling shows.[21] During the Great Depression, from the late 1920s, many severely affected low-income families took up residence here in settlements beside the Aboriginal reserve.
The small island just inside the heads was described by Captain James Cook as ‘a small bare island’. Bare Island was fortified in 1885, according to a design by colonial architect, James Barnet (1827–1904), and fitted with heavy guns. In 1912 Bare Island became a retirement home for war veterans, which continued to operate until 1963 when it was handed over to the New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Service for use as a museum and tourist attraction.[22]
Apart from the fortification on Bare Island two other fortifications are located within La Perouse, one of them, Fort Banks is located on Cape Banks. This facility was part of the Eastern Command Fixed Defences unit, it was designed and positioned in a way that would allow it to protect the approaches to Botany Bay in the event of a sea born attack during the World War II period. Henry Head Battery, constructed 1892 - 1895, operated until 1910, when the fort became obsolete. The battery along with two gun-emplacements and observation posts was recommissioned for use during the second World War.[23]
Heritage listings[edit]
La Perouse has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
• Bare Island Fort[24]
• 46 Adina Avenue: La Perouse Mission Church[25]
• 1-39 Bunnerong Road: Chinese Market Gardens (La Perouse)[26]

Weird Australian money the Royal
Pounds, shillings and pence to be replaced by decimal currency on 14 February 1966, many names for the new currency were suggested. In 1965, the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies, a monarchist, wished to name the currency the royal.
Other proposed names included more exotic suggestions such as the austral, the oz, the boomer, the roo, the kanga, the emu, the digger, the kwid, the dinkum, the ming (Menzies' nickname). Owing to Menzies' influence, the name royal was settled on, and trial designs were prepared and printed by the Reserve Bank of Australia. The choice of name for the currency proved unpopular, and it was later dropped in favour of the dollar.

Royal Australian Corp of Signals Museum Townsville
A quick catch up today with an old Army mate of mine folks. Lofty runs the Royal Australian Signals Corp Museum out at Lavarack Army Barracks in Townsville. Lavarack Barracks is the home of the Australian Army's 3rd Brigade.
Mr Dollar - Advertisement on the introduction of decimal currency
Decimal currency was introduced to New Zealand on 10 July 1967. A great deal of work was required to make the change from Imperial currency, including a huge publicity campaign. A series of advertisements on television introduced the concepts to viewers in New Zealand.
These ads are also on view in the Reserve Bank Museum.

Sydney (/ˈsɪdni/ (About this soundlisten) SID-nee)[7] is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania.[8] Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds Port Jackson and extends about 70 km (43.5 mi) on its periphery towards the Blue Mountains to the west, Hawkesbury to the north, and Macarthur to the south.[9] Sydney is made up of 658 suburbs, 40 local government areas and 15 contiguous regions. Residents of the city are known as Sydneysiders.[10] As of June 2017, Sydney's estimated metropolitan population was 5,131,326,[11] and is home to approximately 65% of the state's population.[12]
Indigenous Australians have inhabited the Sydney area for at least 30,000 years, and thousands of engravings remain throughout the region, making it one of the richest in Australia in terms of Aboriginal archaeological sites. During his first Pacific voyage in 1770, Lieutenant James Cook and his crew became the first Europeans to chart the eastern coast of Australia, making landfall at Botany Bay and inspiring British interest in the area. In 1788, the First Fleet of convicts, led by Arthur Phillip, founded Sydney as a British penal colony, the first European settlement in Australia. Phillip named the city Sydney in recognition of Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney.[13] Penal transportation to New South Wales ended soon after Sydney was incorporated as a city in 1842. A gold rush occurred in the colony in 1851, and over the next century, Sydney transformed from a colonial outpost into a major global cultural and economic centre. After World War II, it experienced mass migration and became one of the most multicultural cities in the world.[3] At the time of the 2011 census, more than 250 different languages were spoken in Sydney.[14] In the 2016 Census, about 35.8% of residents spoke a language other than English at home.[15] Furthermore, 45.4% of the population reported having been born overseas, making Sydney the 3rd largest foreign born population of any city in the world after London and New York City, respectively.[16][17]
Despite being one of the most expensive cities in the world,[18] the 2018 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranks Sydney tenth in the world in terms of quality of living,[19] making it one of the most livable cities.[20] It is classified as an Alpha World City by Globalization and World Cities Research Network, indicating its influence in the region and throughout the world.[21][22] Ranked eleventh in the world for economic opportunity,[23] Sydney has an advanced market economy with strengths in finance, manufacturing and tourism.[24][25] There is a significant concentration of foreign banks and multinational corporations in Sydney and the city is promoted as one of Asia Pacific's leading financial hubs.[26][27] Established in 1850, the University of Sydney is Australia's first university and is regarded as one of the world's leading universities.[28] Sydney is also home to the oldest library in Australia, State Library of New South Wales, opened in 1826.[29]
Sydney has hosted major international sporting events such as the 2000 Summer Olympics. The city is among the top fifteen most-visited cities in the world,[30] with millions of tourists coming each year to see the city's landmarks.[31] Boasting over 1,000,000 ha (2,500,000 acres) of nature reserves and parks,[32] its notable natural features include Sydney Harbour, the Royal National Park, Royal Botanic Garden and Hyde Park, the oldest parkland in the country.[33] Built attractions such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the World Heritage-listed Sydney Opera House are also well known to international visitors. The main passenger airport serving the metropolitan area is Kingsford-Smith Airport, one of the world's oldest continually operating airports.[34] Established in 1906, Central station, the largest and busiest railway station in the state, is the main hub of the city's rail network.[35]

Exploring Sydney's WWII military defence structures. WWII History. Part 1 Malabar
Malabar Headland (Malabar Military Battery Complex)
The coastal defences on Malabar Headland (Malabar Battery)
were built in 1941-42 on the orders of Australian Army, Fixed Defence Command, Coast Branch and manned at combat readiness in the period 1942-1943.
The Malabar Battery was designed for a counter-bombardment role and could also perform a close defence role. It was sited to fire into a gap between the Signal Battery (South Head) and the Banks Battery (at Cape Banks, the northern headland of Botany Bay).
The battery was equipped with: two breech loading 6 inch calibre guns with a maximum range of 20,400 metres (over 20 kilometres)
a battery observation post / close defence battery observation post two searchlights (one for each gun)
The guns were manufactured in Britain, one in 1916 and the other in 1925, and were mounted by at least March 1942 – on emplacements (both extant) at Boora Point about 100 metres apart and to the north east of the battery observation post.
Each gun was served by a detachment of 14 men.
