About Worthington's Workshop Website

This website was originally created on the free 10MB webspace available to all Telstra subscribers. Telstra then made a corporate decision to delete the websites. This site was then transferred to a new home at iiNet on 16th June 2018. It originally suffered many problems due to it being written using Dreamweaver 8, which resulted in excessive code generation.

I then discovered Ubuntu Linux to find a whole new way of doing things. I began using the free Bluefish editor to great advantage and manually code the website on an iiNet web server using HTML and CSS since 6th Dec 2019. When iiNet was acquired by TPG all website hosting again disappeared. I then decided to change ISP providers to Aussie Broadband, which did not have a web hosting service.

After several years in the wilderness I decided to get back into website production and purchased a domain name and website hosting from Australian Websites. The current website is the result of this. I may continue to further modify the pages to a modern standard using the inbuilt Content Management System (CMS), but that is for the future.

Pages have been optimised for viewing at 1024*768 pixels screen resolution, with the font set to 'Arial' 14 point. I hope you enjoy the web site.

Tasmania Tour

TASMANIA FULL TOUR

Described here is a ten day tour across Tasmania with out of the way locations and experiences, resulting from a collation of my travels. Tasmania is best enjoyed during summer, outside school holidays. An affordable holiday solution is to rent a small car for a week and stay in a pub overnight. Why not go?

Knapsack Tour
KNAPSACK WALKING TOUR

An interesting 3 hour return walk from Knapsack Park to Knapsack Street along an old railway line to view the historic Knapsack Viaduct near Lapstone, just across the Hawkesbury River from Penrith in Western Sydney, NSW.

Citroën Cars

CITROEN CARS

I have been interested in citroëns since the mid 60's. What piqued my interest was that my Tasmanian uncle drove a 1963 ID-19. After waiting a quarter of a century, I finally bought an ID-19 sedan. My current vehicles are the 1959 ID-19 and a 2010 C5 X7.

Model Railways

MODEL RAILWAYS

Information and projects for three model railway systems: European HO - Märklin HO using 3 rail track and AC motors, Australian HO - New South Wales steam locomotives and diesels, English OO - Great Western Railway steam.

European Rail

EUROPEAN RAILWAYS

Pictures and specifications for locomotives of the German, Swiss and Scandinavian railways. There are links to a German railways timeline, epoch/era definitions, German train formations plus locomotive and rolling stock numbering. Details are given for railway system names and a biography of Robert Garbe.

Tasmanian Rail
TASMANIAN RAILWAYS

Tasmania's 3'6"(1067mm) narrow gauge rail network only has a few hundred kilometres separating the ends of the network. The operations are moderately scaled with a huge variation within a small distance.

Computers

COMPUTERS

Linux is a free multitasking computer Operating System (OS) for use on Desktop and Server PC's. Ubuntu is a Linux distro. Unix is the progenitor of Linux and Mac OS-X. RetroBSD v2.11 is a Unix System for the Maximite microcomputer.

High Fidelity

HIGH FIDELITY

Surprisingly few 'High Fidelity' loudspeakers meet the criterion of having their drivers used within bandwidth limits determined by the cone breakup and resonant frequencies. Included are some better design concepts, plus plans for several speakers, an amplifier and restoring a turntable.

Projects

PROJECTS

My shed is the place where all my creations are hatched and is a respite from the noise of the world. It is a place where I build woodwork and metalwork projects and work on a few gardening projects.
