Grantham Island

Grantham Island is an uninhabited island occupying 51 hectares of Proper Bay, Spencer Gulf, South Australia. The nearest geographical feature on the mainland is Murray Point, which is also undeveloped. The island was named by explorer Matthew Flinders on 25 February 1802, after the municipal and parliamentary borough of Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. It lies 3 kilometres south of the Port Lincoln marina and is well vegetated. History In 1874, yachtsmen described Grantham Island as hosting "an abundance of rabbits... of all shades of colour." At the time, the island was covered with mallee and other scrub. The yachtsmen had gone ashore to shoot rabbits and "other sport". One man came across a "native pheasant" which "soared majestically away" after being shot at. The party also amused themselves by lassoing penguins and setting them in the water racing. In the 1880s, Arthur Searcy had an encounter with a wallaby on the island, which he speculated had swum over from the mainland. In 1885, the South Australian Yacht Club stopped there to collect firewood. In December 1909, the Flinders Brass Band arranged a picnic to Grantham Island. About 100 people attended and arrived by motor and sailing boats. In February 1910, a fire was started on Grantham Island and became unmanageable. It spread over the whole island and after the fire, 'not a bush' remained. No stock were on the island at the time. In 1937, the 28 ft cutter Sylvia was wrecked in Port Lincoln harbour on returning from a picnic on Grantham Island. The steamer Iron Monarch was going astern from the jetty when the cutter passed behind it to inspect the vessel. Sylvia was sucked into Iron Monarch's propeller and sank immediately. Two men clung to the rudder of Iron Monarch's propeller while is turned, while the other four aboard climbed into a dinghy which had been towed behind the cutter. The six occupants of the cutter all survived. In 1939 The Lands Department advised that Grantham Island would shortly be gazetted for lease. In the meantime, monthly occupation was granted to A. S. Crawford. References
Grantham Island

L'isola di Grantham (in inglese Grantham Island, desueto il francese Île Chaliou) è un'isola australiana sita nel golfo di Spencer, verso la punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre nelle acque prospicienti Port Lincoln. Geografia L'isola è situata nella Proper Bay a sud di Port Lincoln, con un braccio di mare di circa 500 metri che la separa da Murray Point: a sud è visibile il parco nazionale Lincoln, mentre ad est è situato l'insediamento di Tulka. Grantham Island ha una forma allungata in direttrice NE-SO, con profilo pianeggiante e copertura perlopiù a macchia mediterranea. L'isola è disabitata. Storia L'isola venne avvistata da Matthew Flinders il 25 febbraio 1802 durante il suo viaggio attorno all'Australia: l'esploratore britannico le diede il nome col quale essa è conosciuta a tutt'oggi in onore della cittadina di Grantham, nel nativo Lincolnshire. Nello stesso periodo, essa venne avvistata dalla spedizione di Nicolas Baudin e battezzata col nome francese. Nel 1874 Grantham Island veniva descritta come ricoperta da un rigoglioso mallee e ricca di conigli: viene menzionata anche la presenza di pinguini minori blu. Negli anni '80 del XIX secolo tale Arthur Searcy segnala la presenza di un wallaby sull'isola, postulando che l'animale vi fosse arrivato a nuoto dall'entroterra. Nel 1885, i membri dello yacht club dell'Australia Meridionale attraccarono sull'isola alla ricerca di legna da ardere. Nel dicembre del 1909 l'isola ospità un concerto della banda musicale locale, al quale parteciparono un centinaio di persone. L'anno dopo Grantham Island fu teatro di un rovinoso incendio, al termine del quale l'intera vegetazione venne ridotta in cenere. Nel 1937 il cutter Sylvia, di ritorno da un'escursione a Grantham Island, venne affondata dall'impatto con la nave a vapore Iron Monarch (che di lì a poco verrà stazionata alle Filippine ed affondata durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale dopo essere passata in mani giapponesi): i sei membri dell'equipaggio della Sylvia vennero tutti tratti in salvo. Due anni dopo, l'isola venne aperta alla lottizzazione per l'utilizzo come pascolo, col primo affittuario che divenne tale A. S. Crawford. Note

Důl Greenbushes

Důl Greenbushes je největším dolem na těžbu lithia v Austrálii a jedním z největších zdrojů tohoto kovu na světě. Povrchový důl, vlastněný společností Talison Lithium a provozovaný pod názvem "Greenbushes Lithium Operations", leží při jižním okraji městečka Greenbushes ve stejnojmenném hornickém revíru v okrese Bridgetown-Greenbushes (Bridgetown-Greenbushes shire) v Západní Austrálii. Geologie Pegmatity v oblasti Greenbushes se vyznačují výskytem vzácných kovů, jako je tantal, cesium a lithium. Ložisko, jehož stáří se odhaduje na 2 525 miliónů let, je zhruba 3 km dlouhé a 300 metrů široké. Samotná oblast výskytu spodumenu má podobu čočkovitého ložiska o velikosti cca 2 km, kde spodumen, obsahující lithium, místy tvoří až 50% horniny. Historie Vznik hornického městečka Greenbushes je spojen s těžbou cínu, která byla v této lokalitě zahájena v roce 1888. Od 40. let 20. století byla zdejší rudní ložiska využívána pro těžbu tantalu. V roce 1983 byla zahájena příprava těžby lithia a od roku 1985 je zde tato surovina těžena průmyslově. Produkce Ruda, obsahující Li2O, je zpracovávána ve dvou závodech společnosti Talison Lithium, kde jsou pomocí flotace a dalších chemických a mechanických procesů vyráběny lithné koncentráty. Zásoby ložiska jsou odhadovány na 70,4 miliónů tun spodumenu o obsahu 1,2% lithia, což představuje 850 000 tun lithia. V roce 2017 ve srovnání s předchozím rokem celková roční produkce lithia v Austrálii vzrostla o 4 700 tun, zatímco někteří největší světoví producenti, jako je Argentina a Chile, zaznamenali mírný pokles.

Grindal Island

Grindal Island (also referred to as Garden Island) is a 90-hectare (220-acre) island of the Taylor Islands group, located between the Jussieu Peninsula and Thistle Island near the mouth of Spencer Gulf, South Australia. It was purchased by G. Dorwald in 1895. It has been used for the grazing of sheep. According to Captain R.R. Tapley of the Martindale, in the 1890s the island was home to hundreds of Cape Barren geese. "Buggy wheel tracks" were also visible, which he learnt were actually rat pads. In 1936 he reflected on his experiences 40 years prior, stating: "The rats suddenly disappeared, and have not been seen since. They used to run over everything and everybody at night". References
Grindal Island

L'isola di Grindal (in inglese: Grindal Island, desueto Garden Island) è un'isola australiana sita nel golfo di Spencer, sulla punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre. Geografia L'isola, di forma arrotondata con un piccolo capo sulla costa occidentale, è sita di fronte alla penisola di Jussieu, parte del Parco nazionale Lincoln, e si colloca grossomodo alla stessa distanza fra Taylor Island a nord e Lewis Island e Little Island, mentre Hopkins Island e Thistle Island sono in direzione sud-est. Ha una superficie di circa 90 ettari. Storia Assieme alle altre isole circostanti, Grindal Island forma l'arcipelago di Taylor Island, tutte battezzate in memoria degli otto membri dell'equipaggio dell'HMS Investigator al comando di Matthew Flinders che persero la vita in mare mentre erano alla ricerca di acqua potabile il 21 febbraio 1802. L'isola venne acquistata da tale G. Dorwal nel 1895, ed utilizzata prevalentemente per il pascolo di ovini. L'isola venne descritta da marinai di passaggio come abbondantemente popolata da oche di Capo Barren e perscorsa da quelle che vennero descritte come scie di ruote di carro, ma che in realtà erano solchi scavati dai numerosi ratti dell'isola, che purtuttavia non erano più presenti nel 1936.

Haig Park

Haig Park is a park in the suburbs of Braddon and Turner in Canberra, Australia. It lies on either side of Northbourne Avenue. The park is named to honour Earl Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Forces during the First World War, spans the distance between Mount Ainslie and Black Mountain. The park comprises fourteen rows of trees planted to form a windbreak and shelterbelt. The majority of planting was in 1921, when Canberra's first Superintendent, Parks and Gardens, Charles Weston, planted over 7000 trees, predominantly exotic. According to the ACT Territory and Municipal Services Directorate, the park was designated a public park in 1987 and it has been classified by the National Trust. The park is also listed on the ACT Heritage register. In 2012 the ACT Government prepared a master plan for Haig Park. References

Hobart Town Hall

Hobart Town Hall is a landmark sandstone building which serves as seat of the City of Hobart local government area, hosting council meetings as well as acting as public auditorium that can be hired from the council. It is also open to periodic public tours, featuring its ornate Victorian auditorium and the Town Hall organ which has been in use since 1870. History Construction of the town hall was begun in 1864, with the foundation stone laid on April 14, which was declared a public holiday and celebrated by a parade. It was completed two years later in September 1866, which was celebrated by another public holiday and a gala ball. The design by Henry Hunter was somewhat inspired by the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. At the time of construction, it was designed to house the City of Hobart's council chambers, as well as police offices, the municipal court and the State Library of Tasmania. These remained in use for nearly fifty years after the town hall was opened. It, along with Franklin Square, were built on the site of the former government house which had been demolished upon completion of the present government house. The City of Hobart organ, built by J. W. Walker of London, and reckoned to be the second finest in Australia, was opened on 17 March 1870 in a concert by F. A. Packer, Albert Alexander RAM, and John Packer. By 1925 the state of the hall's prominent portico had degenerated to the point where it was declared unsafe and major restoration work had to be undertaken. The building's well-known chandeliers were installed in the Town Hall's ballroom by former Lord Mayor Doone Kennedy.

Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre

Ian Thorpe Aquatic and Fitness Centre is a fitness centre in Ultimo, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It has three swimming pools, exercise machines, and other facilities. The centre is co-managed by the City of Sydney and Belgravia Leisure. Named for swimming champion Ian Thorpe, it was one of the last buildings designed by architect Harry Seidler, and is noted for its curved roof design that suggests a breaking ocean wave. Construction history In 2000, the city announced a design competition for the project, then called the Ultimo Aquatic Centre and Public Space. After receiving about 100 entries, the open competition was scrapped, and a new competition was held among three invited firms. In late 2001, a jury chose Harry Seidler's firm to continue with the project. Construction was delayed due to budgetary and other concerns until 2004, when new Lord Mayor Clover Moore and the city council, responding to an energetic campaign of local residents, reversed their prior position and decided to go ahead with the full plan (then budgeted at $40 million) that had been initiated under former Lord Mayor Frank Sartor, rather than a curtailed $25 million plan that had been adopted under the intervening administration of Lucy Turnbull. The project was renamed in honor of Australia's Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe. Seidler died in 2006. The project was completed under the supervision of his widow, Penelope Seidler, and opened in August 2007. Critical reception Since its completion, the building has been described as an important example of Seidler's architecture. Philip Drew wrote that it was a "climax" of his work, "meshing the severely functional and the playfully sensuous." Architecture critic Elizabeth Farrelly, who had been critical of Seidler's design when it was selected, was more positive about the final result: she noted some awkwardness in the design, including its undefined entry and narrow changing spaces, but praised its "experiential qualities". In 2013, Farrelly included it on her list of the "five best buildings in Sydney", stating that while she found the external wave metaphor "slightly silly", the interior is "a breathtakingly beautiful room". The building received an International Architecture Award in 2009. See also Cook and Phillip Park Aquatic and Fitness Centre Andrew "Boy" Charlton Pool References
Kokerbin Rock

Kokerbin Rock, also known as Kokerbin Hill, is a granite rock formation located within Kokerbin Nature Reserve in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The area has special significance for the Noongar. There are claims that Kokerbin Rock is the third largest monolith in Australia, with Mount Wudinna in South Australia being the second largest and Uluru in the Northern Territory being the largest. Kokerbin Nature Reserve was established in 1991, and has an area of 91 hectares (220 acres). It is approximately 40 km (25 mi) east of Quairading and 30 km (19 mi) south of Kellerberrin by road. Description Caves, rock formations, and the summit are accessible by marked bush walks. The rock formations include a wave rock formation, Dog Rock and Devil's Marbles. On the western side of Kokerbin Rock is a historic stone well and an old school site, remainders of early European settlement. A picnic area and toilet facilities are located on the eastern side of Kokerbin Rock. See also Protected areas of Western Australia Granite outcrops of Western Australia References Further reading

Liguanea Island

Liguanea Island is an uninhabited granite island in the Australian state of South Australia located 3.7 km south of Cape Carnot at the southern, central point of Eyre Peninsula. It is approximately 2.7 km long, 180 ha in size its elevation above sea level is estimated to be 43 metres. It is approximately 35 km south-west of Port Lincoln in the Great Australian Bight. The island forms part of the Lincoln National Park. History Liguanea Island was named by British explorer Matthew Flinders on 18 February 1802. The following day, Flinders named the nearby headland Cape Wiles "after a worthy friend at Liguanea, in Jamaica." In Flinders' atlas (Plate 17) there is a view of the cape and the island as seen from his ship, The Investigator. The same year, French explorer Nicolas Baudin named the island as Ile Guyton. In 1905, the ship Governor Musgrave called by Liguanea Island while searching for the wreckage of the lost vessel, Loch Vennachar. A newspaper correspondent on the vessel described the island as "a large bare block of forbidding granite some miles in extent." In 1914, a buck and two does were placed on Liguanea Island. The island first obtained protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929-1966 on 16 March 1967. On 26 May 1980 biodiversity data was collected on Liguanea Island. Among there species recorded were Australian sea-lion, little penguin, Cape Barren goose and bush rat. Little penguin breeding on the island was acknowledged in a 1996 survey of South Australia's offshore islands. References
Isola Liguanea

L'isola di Liguanea (in inglese Liguanea Island, desueto il francese Île Guyton) è un'isola australiana sita sulla punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre. Geografia L'isola è situata 3,7 km a sud di Capo Carnot (punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre): essa presenta forma allungata, misurando circa 2,7 km da nord a sud. Disabitata e perlopiù rocciosa, Liguanea Island appartiene amministrativamente al parco nazionale Lincoln, pur essendo molto vicina all'insediamento di Sleaford. Storia L'isola venne avvistata da Matthew Flinders il 18 febbraio 1802 durante il suo viaggio attorno all'Australia: l'esploratore britannico battezzò il capo prospiciente col nome di Cape Wiles in onore di un suo amico residente a Liguanea, in Giamaica, e battezzò l'isola proprio con quest'ultimo nome. Nello stesso anno, l'isola venne avvistata dalla spedizione di Nicolas Baudin, che le affibbiò il nome francese. Nel 1905 Liguanea Island venne visitata dall'imbarcazione Governor Musgrave durante la ricerca della dispersa Loch Vennachar: un corrispondente dalla nave descrisse l'isola come "un grande blocco di granito nudo di alcune miglia di estensione". Fauna Nel 1914 vennero rilasciati sull'isola un maschio e due femmine di daino. Il 16 marzo 1967, Liguanea Island ottenne lo status di area protetta. Il 26 maggio 1980 gli studi sulla biodiversità dell'isola evidenziarono la presenza di ratto del bush, leone marino australiano, oca di Capo Barren e pinguini minori blu: la presenza di una colonia nidificante di questi ultimi venne confermata da un altro studio del 1996.

Ilha Linguanea

A ilha Linguanea é uma ilha de granito inabitada da Austrália Meridional que está a 3,7 km ao sul do Cabo Carnot e ao sul do ponto central da Península de Eyre. Ela possui aproximadamente 2,7 km de comprimento, 180 ha de extensão e com elevação acima do mar estimada em 43 m. Está aproximadamente a 35 km ao sudoeste de Port Lincoln, na Grande Baía Australiana. As ilhas são parte do Parque Nacional de Lincoln. História A ilha Linguanea foi nomeada pelo explorador britânico Mattew Flinders no dia 18 de fevereiro de 1802. No dia seguinte, Flinders nomeou o Cabo Wiles "em homenagem a um amigo digno de Linguanea, na Jamaica". No atlas de Flinders (chapa 17) há uma imagem do cabo e da ilha vista através de seu navio, The Investigator. No mesmo ano, o explorador francês Nicolas Baudin nomeou a ilha de Ile Guyon. Em 1905, o navio Governor Musgrave usou o nome "ilha Linguanea" enquanto buscava pelos escombros da embarcação perdida, Loch Vennachar. Um jornal de correspondência da embarcação descreveu a ilha como "um largo e desagradável bloco de granito com algumas milhas de extensão". Em 1914, um bode e duas corças foram colocados na ilha. A ilha foi declarada como como uma área de conservação de fauna pelo Crown Lands Act 1929-1966, de 16 de março de 1967. Em 26 de março de 1980, foram coletados dados sobre a biodiversidade da ilha. Entre as espécies coletadas, estavam o leão-marinho-australiano, pinguim-azul, ganso-cinzento e o rato de arbusto australiano. A reprodução do pinguim-azul na ilha foi reconhecido em 1996.
