The NCC was setup over 70 years ago (1939) as the UK trade body representing the collective interests of the tourer, motorhome, holiday home and park home sectors.
The NCC has a crucial role to play in promoting best practice, helping members become more competitive and formulating effective public policy and delivery. We are the united voice of the reputable businesses in our industry when talking to government. We quickly disseminate information to the members to protect their business interests and to give them a commercial edge.As a joint Commonwealth and ACT Government initiative, the site was gazetted in June 2001 as the Lindsay Pryor National Arboretum. It commemorates the contribution to the nation of the late Emeritus Professor Lindsay Pryor AO (1915 – 1998), an eminent Australian forest scientist, botanist and landscape architect.
The NCA has commenced works to renew and upgrade the Arboretum to a place for recreation, scientific research and education in recognition of the great importance of trees and forests to Australia.
A Reference Group is guiding the design and environmental integrity of the Arboretum's renewal and a masterplan was completed in May 2011. From the two concept plans presented for the management and development of the Arboretum, a final plan was developed following public consultation. The masterplan reflects that cultural value of the site and builds on the original intentions of Pryor and subsequent plantings by the late Dr Robert Boden.
A complete survey of the existing trees, substantial clearing of weeds and the reinstatement of perimeter fencing have been completed along with redevelopment of the old toilet block into a picnic shelter. A new entrance road (funded by the ACT Government) was completed in February 2012.
Implementation of the masterplan commenced in the second half of 2011, with additional trees planted along the new entrance road, parallel to Lady Denman Drive and along the lake foreshore. Suitable designs are being developed for toilets and signs, which will be progressed in the coming years.
The key purpose of the LPNA Master Plan is to provide a design strategy that will successfully further develop the area as a forested park primarily for recreation and education with increased facilities for these purposes.
embrace a sustainable approach to materials selection, water management, site soil and other materials.

Apparently, it’s National Ice Cream Month! So, happy National Ice Cream Month to you and yours. Had you asked us, we would have assumed that every month is National Ice Cream Month because we honor it all year long (National Ice Cream Year, anyone?), but we’re happy to have an extra excuse to celebrate some of our favorite frozen desserts and ditch other foods in favor of this patriotic duty. “What do you mean why are we eating ice cream for dinner? IT’S NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH, you traitor!” is a thing we plan to yell a lot.
First up: We’ve upgraded a childhood classic from summer crush to full-blown LOVE and added the extra perk of whisky-flavored grown-up status. The Fudgsicle just got darker, fruitier, and a little bit of a buzz. And the recipe couldn’t be easier.
Our chocolate pop is richer and, though we’ll never stop wanting to bolt towards the tune if a truck is within earshot, way more delicious than anything you’ll get from a Good Humor truck (you’ll have to hum the song to yourself with these, though—sorry). They have more chocolate—way more chocolate, enough chocolate to satisfy even the chocolate daydreams of those who’ve considered the merits of a chocolate IV— than your average popsicle. But unlike a lot of chocolate desserts, these are summer perfect.
Yes, they are icy and cooling and tasty, but the raspberries and bourbon cut through the richness and give the pops more dimension than just chocolate. Not that there’s a single thing wrong with Just Chocolate, but some texture, some tanginess, and some bourbon also sound pretty great, especially if you add a deck chair, a patch of grass in the sun, and pretending you’re on summer break (if only for as long as it takes you to eat this pop).
We chose to use extra dark chocolate because that’s what we love, but also because it keeps these pops from being too sweet—the slight bitterness from the extra cocoa plays perfectly against the other flavors we have going on. You’ll notice, too, that we added some cinnamon to the pops. True cinnamon, as opposed to cassia cinnamon, adds some warmth and interest, wrapping up all the other ingredients and tying everything together beautifully.
Stay tuned for the next installments of this series, and in the meantime, let us know what you think of these!
Notes: We used “true cinnamon,” which has a different flavor than the spicier cassia cinnamon. We use each cinnamon for different things but here, think true cinnamon works especially well with the other ingredients.
* In a 1-quart bowl, mash raspberries with sugar.
* Melt the chocolate chips with the cinnamon and milk over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool until lukewarm. Don’t let it too cool or it may start to firm up.
* Stir raspberry and chocolate mixtures together. Mix in the bourbon.
* Fill your ice pop molds with the mixture.
* Place in freezer for 4-5 hours or until frozen through.
* To unmold the pops, run the mold under cold or tepid water to make the pop easier to remove.
The U.S. economy grew a bit faster than first thought in the last few months of 2011, as incomes grew and businesses started hiring more workers.
