Helicarion australis, common name the “Australian native snail” is a species of air-breathing land snails or semislugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Helicarionidae. This species is endemic to Australia.
Description
These snails are smaller than the common garden snails and more colourful. The shell shape is a flattish spiral.
Habitat
H. australis can be found around Sydney in bushland and old gardens. Unlike the common garden snail Helix aspersa, they eat decomposing waste wood and fungus and do not eat fresh, growing plants.

Jump to: navigation, search
Sir Gordon Ying Sheung Wu, GBS, KCMG, FICE (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Hú Yìngxi?ng) is the chairman of the board of Hong Kong-listed Asian infrastructure firm Hopewell Holdings Ltd.
Born in Hong Kong in 1935, Wu has been an advocate for more than two decades for the construction of Asia’s largest bridge project linking Hong Kong, Macau and China’s Zhuhai city. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project was given support by the PRC government in August 2003.
Since the 1980s, Wu has steered Hopewell Holdings towards developing his vision of creating an advanced transport system for China’s manufacturing powerhouse in the Pearl River Delta, which includes much of Guangdong province and makes use of its proximity to Hong Kong to access professional services and logistics.
The bridge will span two man-made islands, allowing it to go through an undersea tunnel and let shipping pass. The concept is based on the existing Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in Virginia, United States.
Wu has predicted that commercial development in Hong Kong will focus upon the growth of four major pillar industries including retailing, tourism and logistics. He predicts a diminishing role for the property and textiles industries (source: October 2001, Logistics, Hong Kong Productivity Council).

Educational background
Wu graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering in 1958. Before that, he attended Wah Yan College, Hong Kong, an eminent Jesuit school in Hong Kong.
As one of the founders of Hopewell, he was the managing director from 1972 to 2002. In January 2002, he retired as the managing director of the company but remains as the chairman of the board. He was responsible for Hopewell’s infrastructure projects in mainland China and Southeast Asia and has been involved in the design and construction of many buildings and development projects in Hong Kong and mainland China.
In 1984, Wu donated a worth of US$5 million of his company shares to Princeton University and formed a charity fund. Wu also pledged US$100 million to the university, a sum he planned to make available for university use in 2008, on the occasion of his 50th reunion. In a talk given in October 2006, however, Wu revealed intentions of making the contribution available to the university sooner. He completed this pledge, with the last payment in 2006/2007. He is also the chairman of Hopewell Highway Infrastructure Limited, subsidiary of Hopewell listed on August 2003, and an independent non-executive director of i-Cable Communications Limited.
Honours
He received Honorary Doctorate degrees from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, University of Strathclyde and University of Edinburgh.
He is Chairman of the Council of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Political stance
Gordon Wu formerly opposed accelerating the development of democracy in Hong Kong. But following the massive protest on 1 July 2003 in Hong Kong, he openly spoke about the possibility of electing the SAR Chief Executive by direct election.
“A small number of people … are against everything the SAR government wants to do and against everything that’s from the central government. “They are also using such slogans as ‘uprising’ and ‘liberation.’ These show they have hidden purposes.” (Gordon Wu, 4 March 2010)

Infrastructure
Hopewell is participating in the investment of five toll road projects with a total length of 360 km, all of which are located in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong Province in mainland China. Four toll road projects are in operation while construction of the 15 km Phase I of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai West Superhighway (Guangzhou to Shunde section) commenced in December 2001. All of the projects are in the form of co-operative joint ventures between Hopewell and China partners.

Trivia
Gordon Wu Hall at Princeton University
The world’s most expensive truffle, a 1.51 kilogram rare White Alba truffle, was sold for 125,000 Euros (Hong Kong Dollar $1,250,000; US $160,000) on 13 November 2006 to Gordon Wu, who planned a charity dinner party at Toscana Restaurant at Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong. This price beats the previous world record of 95,000 Euros for a 1.21 kilogram White Alba truffle in 2005.
The dining hall of Princeton University’s Butler residential college, built in 1983, is named for Wu. In 1995, Wu pledged a gift of $100 million to Princeton.
The Science and Mathematics Center at The Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut is named for Sir Gordon Wu’s wife, Lady Ivy Kwok Wu.
