                <text>&lt;p&gt;This online article by Carol Raabus was posted in 2009 on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation&amp;rsquo;s Hobart page. It is about local man Doug Pattison and his re-creation of siege engines. He has built a trebuchet, first used in the twelfth century, and a ballista (a large version of a crossbow), which was first used by the classical Greeks and remained popular until replaced by the trebuchet. Doug sometimes gives public performances of the weapons.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For the story, including a clip of the trebuchet in action, see &lt;a href="http://www.abc.net.au/local/videos/2009/04/21/2548797.htm"&gt;http://www.abc.net.au/local/videos/2009/04/21/2548797.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Danelaw Medieval Fighting Society are a New South Wales re-enactment group who own The Danelaw, a 120 acre property in a pine forest between Sydney and Canberra that is used by re-enactment groups. The property includes a fort, axe- and knife-throwing areas, a tournament ring, as well as trebuchet&amp;rsquo;s, a type of catapult used in siege warfare from the twelfth century. The Danelaw Medieval Fighting Society were formed in the mid-1980s by James Adams as the Medieval Martial Arts Association of Southern Sydney. They adopted the current name in 2002. Members re-enact warfare methods with authentic costumes and weapons from throughout the medieval period, including such groups as Anglo-Saxons, Celts, Crusaders, Normans, Saracens, and the knights of the High Middle Ages. The property is named after the Danelaw of England, that part of England conquered and settled by the Vikings in the second half of the ninth century, and where aspects of &amp;lsquo;Danish&amp;rsquo; law were used.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
