Sir Roden Cutler VC Memorial Interchange

The Sir Roden Cutler VC Memorial Interchange, often shortened to Roden Cutler Interchange and sign-posted as Cutler VC Interchange, is a three-level motorway interchange located in Prestons in South-West Sydney. The interchange forms the junction of the Westlink M7, M5 South-West and M31 Hume Motorways, opening to traffic in December 2005 along with the Westlink M7. It is a major urban feature of the National Highway network with roads linking Sydney south to Canberra and Melbourne and north to Newcastle and Brisbane converging at the interchange. As with many features of the Remembrance Driveway between Sydney and Canberra, the interchange is named in honour of an Australian Victoria Cross recipient. Sir Roden Cutler received the medal for gallantry in the face of the enemy while serving with the Royal Australian Artillery in Syria during World War II. He would later hold the office of Governor of New South Wales. Design Following a request for tender in 2001, a joint venture between engineering firms Leighton Contractors and Abigroup were awarded the contract in 2003 to design and construct the Westlink M7 motorway and interchanges. The interchange is a hybrid of the semidirectional T interchange configuration, with added complexity through the retention and modification of the Camden Valley Way partial diamond interchange over the Hume Motorway. Slip roads allow access to both the M5 eastbound and M7 northbound, as well as exit from the Hume Motorway onto Camden Valley Way. Access is also provided to the suburban street network at Beech Road from the westbound lanes of the M5, necessitating three levels of ramps. Landscaping The interchange surrounds a landmark 25 m (82 ft) high grass-covered pyramid made from compacted soil excavated during construction of the M7. The pyramid is illuminated at night by blue LED lighting. Complementing the pyramid, forty-five timber poles line the edges of the interchange, symbolic of the native woodlands depleted by urban development in the area. On 15 November 2010, the Australian Defence Force Memorial Plantation was dedicated. Consisting of 45,000 native trees and shrubs, the plantation lines along the Hume Motorway reservation approaching the Roden Cutler Interchange from the Mount Annan Botanic Garden, a distance of 15.5 km (9.6 mi).

St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta

St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta is the Catholic cathedral church of the Diocese of Parramatta and the seat of the Catholic Bishop, located in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia, currently Vincent Long Van Nguyen . Established as a church in 1836, the site was modified several times and consecrated as a cathedral in 1986. Destroyed by a 1996 fire, the old St Patrick's Cathedral became a Blessed Sacrament Chapel and adjoining it is a large contemporary Cathedral, completed in 2003. History With origins of the first Mass occurring on the present-day site of the cathedral dating from 1803, St Patrick's was extensively rebuilt after a 1996 fire devastated the original church that was established in 1854. A tower was built on the original St Patrick's Church which was consecrated in 1880 and blessed in 1883. A cast bronze bell was installed in the tower in 1904. As the needs of the parish grew, a new church was built on the site in 1936 incorporating the existing tower and spire. When the Diocese of Parramatta was established in 1986, St Patrick's Church was designated as St Patrick's Cathedral. Redesign and works following fire Under Bishop Kevin Manning and Dean Peter G. Williams, the building was designed by Romaldo Giurgola and the firm MGT Architects. Giurgola was commissioned in 1997 for the restoration and design of a new cathedral complex after a fire destroyed the previous building. Giurgola was the architect of the new Australian Parliament House in Canberra. A program of major artworks, crafts and special designs for the cathedral was also undertaken at the same time so that the art, architecture and furnishings of the new cathedral would be in harmony. The commissioned artists included Sydney sculptor Anne Ferguson (who worked in stone), Tasmanian designer Kevin Perkins (who worked in timber) and Sydney sculptor and jewellery designer Robin Blau (who worked in metal). The new Parramatta Cathedral was consecrated on 29 November 2003 by Cardinal Edward Clancy. The building design and construction team were awarded the 2003 Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Buildings by the Australian Institute of Architects. Organ The Norman and Beard late-Victorian English romantic pipe organ, built in 1898, was installed in 2006. This 19th-century organ was transferred from St Saviour's Anglican Church in Knightsbridge, London. Stephen Bicknell designed a new organ case in collaboration with Romaldo Giurgola and the instrument was restored and installed in Parramatta Cathedral by Peter Jewkes and Associates. The organ specifications were further enhanced in 2014 with the addition of several digital ranks of pedal pipes, including 32' Contra-Bourdon, 32' Contra-ophicleide, 16' Major bass; and additional switching devices for the transfer of swell reeds to pedal.

The Australian Golf Club

The Australian Golf Club is a golf club located in Rosebery, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Although it survived numerous course location changes, it is arguably the oldest golf club in Australia. To date the course has held 22 Australian Open events and most recently in 2023 the event was won by Chilean Joaquín Niemann. The course has been rated the 9th best in the country. Course Early history The Australian Golf Club was founded in 1882, which makes it the oldest golf club in Australia followed by Royal Melbourne Golf Club (founded 1891). However, The Australian did not have a golf course between the years of 1888 and 1895, which has led to debate as to which golf club is the oldest. The club's first golf course was situated in Moore Park, a suburb of Sydney, but due to a new road the course had to be abandoned six years later in 1888. In 1895 a second, eleven-hole course was built in Waverley, which was used until 1898, when the club's lease expired. The course then moved to Botany, Sydney. It was this course that hosted the 1901 Australian Amateur Championship, and the first Australian Open in 1904. Present day course The present day location of the course was inspected in 1903, while a year later plans were put forward for the new course by Carnegie Clark, Jock Hutchison and Gilbert Martin. In 1926 Alister MacKenzie, designer of courses such as Royal Melbourne Golf Club and Augusta National Golf Club, was asked to update holes on the course. Due to the popularity of the course, members approved a new layout in 1949 which supplied the club with two starting holes. In 1967 the proposal of a new road threatened the land on which the course was laid out on. As a result, a redesign by Sloane Morpeth was needed, which was completed in 1973. Between 1977 and 1980 Jack Nicklaus made significant alterations to the course, which included adding length and water hazards, which transformed the course into what it is today. Present works are under way to improve the course, including the re-routing of a number of holes. The changes will create a more contemporary feel. The club has again commissioned Jack Nicklaus to design the changes, and the course is set to re-open in autumn of 2013. Course scorecard Source Tournaments The Australian Golf Club has held 20 Australian Opens, with the most recent being from the 23–26 November 2017, which was won by Cameron Davis with a score of 11 under par. The various winners of Australian Opens at The Australian are as follows: The Australian has also hosted 13 Australian Amateur Championships – the first in 1901, and the most recent in 2015.

Yellow Pinch Dam

Yellow Pinch Dam is a major off-stream ungated rockfill embankment dam across the Yellow Pinch Creek upstream of Merimbula in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's main purpose is water supply. The impounded reservoir is also called Yellow Pinch Dam. Location and features Completed in 1987, the Yellow Pinch Dam is a major dam that, while situated across the Yellow Pinch Creek, receives its main inflow from the Tantawanglo Creek via the Tantawanglo Creek Weir, located 35 kilometres (22 mi) from the dam wall. The dam's secondary inflow is received from the Bega River via the Bega to Yellow Pinch Dam pipeline. The dam was built by the NSW Department of Public Works on behalf of the Bega Valley Shire Council to supply water to Merimbula, Tura Beach, Pambula Beach, Pambula and rural properties. The Yellow Pinch Dam, together with Ben Boyd Dam and Tilba Dam, also both off-stream, are used for storing water for town water supply, with water pumped, or piped by gravity, from a source water intake. The dams have small catchment areas and rainfall in the dam catchment areas contributes only a minor proportion of the volume of water collected and stored. The dam wall constructed with 198 cubic metres (7,000 cu ft) of rockfill with an internal earth core is 40 metres (130 ft) high and 200 metres (660 ft) long. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 3,000 megalitres (110×10^6 cu ft) of water. The surface area of Yellow Pinch Dam is 24 hectares (59 acres) and the catchment area is a relatively small 2.7 square kilometres (1.0 sq mi). The spillway is capable of discharging 98 cubic metres per second (3,500 cu ft/s). Bega to Yellow Pinch Dam Water Transfer Pipeline The A$10 million federally-funded Bega to Yellow Pinch Dam Water Transfer Pipeline and pumping stations provides an additional source of water to secure water supplies for the Bega Valley Shire. The project commenced in 2007 and involved the construction of a high lift pump station, capable of pumping up to 20 megalitres (710×10^3 cu ft) per day from the lower Bega River and Bega borefields. This water is carried through a 20 kilometres (12 mi) pipeline to Yellow Pinch Dam. The benefits of the project include the protection of low environmental flows at Tantawanglo Creek by extracting and storing larger volumes of water during high Bega River flows; the increased security of supply to townships in the south of the Bega Valley Shire through the use of water from the lower Bega River; and providesfor greater flexibility and availability of water for landholder extraction in the upper catchment.

Yellow Pinch Dam

Yellow Pinch Dam är en stor fyllningsdamm över Yellow Pinch Creek uppströms Merimbula i sydkustregionen i New South Wales, Australien. Dammens huvudsakliga syfte är vattenförsörjning. Plats och funktioner Yellow Pinch Dam färdigställdes 1987. Den ligger tvärs över Yellow Pinch Creek och får sitt huvudsakliga inflöde från Tantawanglo Creek via Tantawanglo Creek Weir, som ligger 35 kilometer från Yellow Pinch Dam. Dammens sekundära inflöde tas från Bega River via en rörledning från Bega till Yellow Pinch Dam. Dammen byggdes av NSW Department of Public Works på uppdrag av Bega Valley Shire Council för att leverera vatten till Merimbula, Tura Beach, Pambula Beach, Pambula och till fastigheter på landet. Yellow Pinch Dam, tillsammans med Ben Boyd Dam och Tilba Dam, används för att lagra vatten för stadens vattenförsörjning, med vatten som pumpas eller leds av sin egen tyngd från ett vattenintag. Dammarna har små avrinningsområden och nederbörden i dammens avrinningsområde bidrar endast med en mindre del av den mängd vatten som samlas in och lagras. Dammväggen som är konstruerad med 198 kubikmeter stenfyllning, med en inre jordkärna som är 40 meter hög och 200 meter lång. Vid 100 % kapacitet håller dammväggen tillbaka 3 000 megaliter vatten. Yellow Pinch Dams ytarea är 24 hektar och avrinningsområdet är relativt litet, 2,7 kvadratkilometer. Dammen kan släppa ut 98 kubikmeter per sekund. Rörledning mellan Bega och Yellow Pinch Dam Rörledningen mellan Bega och Yellow Pinch Dam finansierades federalt med 10 miljoner australiska dollar, och den är tillsammans med ett antal pumpstationer, en ytterligare resurs för att säkra vattenförsörjningen till Bega Valley Shire. Projektet startade 2007 och involverade byggandet av en höglyftspumpstation, som kan pumpa upp till 20 megaliter per dag från de nedre Bega River. Detta vatten förs genom en 20 kilometer lång rörledning till Yellow Pinch Dam. Fördelarna med projektet är att utjämna vattenflödet, så att vatten lagras i dammen när Bega Rivers flöde är högt. När flödet är lågt släpps vatten ut ur dammen. Detta tryggar vattenförsörjnungen i de tätbebyggda delarna av Bega Valley Shire och ger större flexibilitet och tillgång till vatten för markägare i det övre avrinningsområdet.

Austral Building

The Austral Building is a broadly English Queen Anne revival building located at 115-119 Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia. It was designed by noted Melbourne architect, Nahum Barnet, built in 1890, and housed noted literary and artistic tenants until well into the 20th century. History Barnet was commissioned to design this building by magazine publisher, Alexander McKinley & Co., best known for the Melbourne Punch, as a speculative venture including shops and professional chambers, but also with purpose-built artist's studios on the fourth floor at the rear The studios were occupied by such noted practitioners as photographer JW Lindt and the painters John Mather (artist), Charles E. Gordon-Frazer, Leslie Wilkie and, in the 1920s, Alexander Colquhoun. During the 1890s and later the building was the headquarters of the Austral Salon, a pioneer Victorian club for women dedicated to their academic and artistic development. The building continued to be associated with artistic groups through the Melbourne Arts League from the 1940s to the 1980s, which encouraged young actors and artists and held exhibitions in the 1950s by such artists as Fred Williams and Donald Friend. The elegant ground floor metal framed shop fronts were added in 1909 and 1929. Description The building consists of five storeys and a basement, using plain red brick as the main wall material, with detailing provided in cement render. The front part of the building is capped with a steeply pitched slate roof. The arches of the ground floor support the bay windows on both sides, and strongly modelled bracketed window feature in the center. The main entrance is located in the central arch. Key influences and design approach Nahum Barnet’s approach to architecture was a bold functionality of elements into a well-developed whole. He combined finely detailed and complete decorative elements with plain walls and durable massing, working across a variety of styles. He was a strong advocate for climate as a design factor and had an interest in developing an appropriate and suitable style for Australia, which he promoted in the press in the 1880s. He cleverly moved through the changing styles of architecture during his decades of practice, from Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival to bold freestyle Classicism. The design used red brick as a main material, a hallmark of the Queen Anne, and one that was characteristic of his work in the 1900s, such as the nearby 1913 Auditorium Building. References
Avenel railway station

Avenel railway station is a regional railway station on the North East line. It serves the town of Avenel, in Victoria, Australia. Avenel is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 20 November 1872, with the current station provided in August 2010. History Avenel station opened with the line, and had a 200-foot (61 m)-long platform, temporary station buildings and a large goods shed. In 1875, the goods shed was destroyed by fire, and was replaced in the following year. A permanent station building was provided in 1881, which had been replaced by the 1970s. Platform 1, which faced the former broad gauge track on the eastern side, was originally on a loop siding off the main line, with the main line slewed to its present location during rationalisation of the yard. In 1972, No. 4 road was abolished, with No. 5 road renumbered to No. 4. By December 1991, No. 4 road and siding "B" were abolished. Further sidings and roads were abolished in July 1997, as well as all signals, effectively leaving Avenel as a wayside station. As part of the North East Rail Revitalisation Project, a second platform was constructed on the standard gauge line, in conjunction with the conversion of the broad gauge track to standard gauge. The work was completed in August 2010. The station is now under the care of a group of local volunteers, the Stationeers, who meet every Friday morning to maintain the station and surrounding gardens. They have also restored the building, including the disused McKenzie & Holland lever frame. Former station Mangalore was located between Avenel and Seymour, while Monea, Locksley, Longwood and Creighton stations were located between Avenel and Euroa. Platforms and services Avenel has one island platform with two faces. It is served by V/Line Albury line trains. Gallery References External links Victorian Railway Stations gallery
