Honeysuckle Creek Pty Ltd
Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Honeysuckle Creek .
OK…at the top of my business structure is a company called Honeysuckle Creek Pty Ltd.
Honeysuckle Creek Pty Ltd was founded in late 2006 as an umbrella organisation to look after the many and varied projects of its Founder and Managing Director…that would be me, Mick Stanic (aka SplaTT).
Anyway…the first project group is “Digital @ Honeysuckle Creek” which highlights the Honeysuckle Creek owned organisations that work in the digital media and digital services sphere. Those organisations currently include: DSS46 Digital (opening soon) and Upper Yarra Digital Media, which also operates Upper Yarra Web Hosting.
A few more project groups are planned in the future that will operate under the Honeysuckle Creek structure, and these will include businesses that are outside of the digital media and digital services sphere. Most of these have been ideas floating around my head for a number of years and information on some of them will probably appear during the course of 2009.
But before i get to them, next up is a post on Digital @ Honeysuckle Creek.
In case you are interested, the name Honeysuckle Creek comes from a spot south of Canberra, and was the location that housed NASA’s Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station that provided the first 8 minutes of video from the Apollo 11 moon landing, this included Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moons surface and uttering the famous sentence, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind“.
Ever since i visited the site in the late 1990′s, i was always amazed that even though Australia, and in particular this location, had played such an important part in the first moon landing and space exploration in general, we were never really taught about it. I believe that this particular location is one of our countries most important historical locations in the technology area, and i always thought it would be a good name for a company involved in technology…and so Honeysuckle Creek Pty Ltd came into existence.
