    Abstract : Commercial forestry was the firts major sustained industry in the Alps but since the early 1900s many changes in the industry have taken place. Large areas of commercial forest have been included in national parks. The forestry industry in the early years was based on native hardwood milling. This was undertaken by small sawmills located close to the timber resources, these eventually being relocated nearer to local towns or transport. A native hardwood timber industry still continues, mainly in Victoria, but in New South Wales the alpine forest industry is dominated by pine plnatation forestry. The alpine forest industry makes a significant contribution to the Sates economies not only through timber products bat a part of catchment management, recreation and conservation.Résumé : Après des débuts comparables, l'exploitation forestière des Alpes galloises et victoriennes s'est différenciée. Dans le premier cas, le classement du Parc Kosciusko a entraîné le remplacement de l'exploitation des forêts autochtones par celle des plantations de conifères sur des terres périphériques. Dans le cas du Victoria, l'exploitation s'est maintenue en se concentrant et en adaptant ses techniques : travaillant dans des conditions progressivement plus difficiles, les forestiers n'en apportent pas moins une contribution certaine à l'économie de l'Etat.Mc Kimm R.J., Drohan J. 5— L'exploitation forestière dans les Alpes australiennes / Forestry in Australian Alps (texte disponible en français et en anglais).

    Children (n = 372) aged 4 - 8 years participated in 1 or 4 occurrences of a similar event and were interviewed 1 week later. Compared to 85% of children who participated once, less than 25% with repeated experience gave the exact number of times they participated, although all knew they participated more than once. Children with repeated experience were asked additional temporal questions and there were clear developmental differences. Older children were more able than younger children to judge relative order and temporal position of the four occurrences. They also demonstrated improved temporal memory for the first and last relative to the middle occurrences, while younger children did so only for the first. This is the first systematic demonstration of children’s memory for temporal information after a repeated event. We discuss implications for theories of temporal memory development and the practical implications of asking children to provide temporal information
