Голубые горы (Австралия)

Голубые горы (англ. Blue Mountains) — горы в штате Новый Южный Уэльс, часть Большого Водораздельного хребта. Название своё получили из-за сизоватого смога, вызванного испарениями эвкалиптов, окрашивающего горы в сизовато-голубые оттенки при взгляде на них издали. Выделяются в отдельный регион. Голубые горы находятся на границе городской черты Сиднея и тянутся к западу примерно на 50 км. Высота гор 1190—1360 м над уровнем моря Горы изрезаны каньонами глубиной 300—800 м. Геологически Голубые горы разделены рекой Кокс на западную известняковую с карстами и восточную песчаниковую части. Климат субтропический, осадков — 1000—1800 мм в год. Растительность представлена в основном эвкалиптами и древовидными папоротниками, в более засушливой западной части — участки саванн. Именно из-за высокого содержания в воздухе взвесей эфирного масла, выделяемого более 90 видами эвкалиптов, горы были названы «голубыми». Объект Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО В западной части Голубых гор расположен одноимённый национальный парк. На территории района расположена и часть другого национального парка — Уоллеми. Район больших Голубых гор (англ. Greater Blue Mountains Area) объявлен объектом всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Этот объект наследия включает восемь различных охраняемых территорий, главная ценность которых состоит в том, что они демонстрируют эволюционное развитие и многообразие эвкалиптовых лесов Австралии. Голубые горы часто посещают туристы, однако в некоторые охраняемые участки доступ ограничен. Главным поселением территории считается городок Катумба — бывшая шахтёрская столица этого края. В его окрестностях расположены основные туристические объекты — горы, пещеры, водопады. Совсем недалеко находится и самая крутая в мире (по степени уклона трассы) горная железная дорога Катумба. Уклон трассы достигает 122 % (50,7°). Изначально эта дорога, длина которой всего 415 метров, строилась для подъёма угля и сланца, добываемых на шахте, расположенной в закрытой горной котловине. Но теперь дорога реконструирована и используется исключительно как туристический объект. В честь Голубых гор получили своё название новозеландские горы Блу-Маунтинс. Галерея Примечания

Блакитні гори (Австралія)

Блакитні гори (англ. Blue Mountains) — гори в Австралії, частина Великого Вододільного хребта (штат Новий Південний Уельс), на захід від міста Сідней. Гори плосковерхі, сильно розчленовані каньйонами (глибина до 300—800 м) з обривистими схилами. Висота до 1360 м. Глибока долина річки Кокс ділить Блакитні гори на західну частину, складену вапняками, з карстовими формами рельєфу, і східну — пісковикову. Східні вологі схили покриті евкаліптовими лісами, в долинах — чагарники деревоподібних папоротей, на західних, сухіших схилах — світлі евкаліптові ліси і савани. Згідно з давньою легендою, в долині Джемісон жили три сестри з племені Катумба. Звали їх Ганнеду, Вімла і Міхні. Одного разу полюбили дівчата трьох братів з племені Непін. Але, за законом, вони не мали права вийти за них заміж. Тоді брати вирішили викрасти коханих, спровокувавши криваву битву між племенами. Щоб врятувати сестер від важкої долі, благородний шаман Катумби звернув їх у три скелясті вершини. Під час битви шаман був смертельно поранений і забрав з собою в могилу таємницю закляття, залишивши дівчат навіки замкнутими в камінь. В пам'ять про дівчат скелі так і називаються: Міхні (Meehni 922 м), Вімла (Wimlah 918 м) і Ганнеду (Gunnedoo 906 м).

The Briars (Mt Martha)

The Briars is a former homestead in Mount Martha, Victoria, Australia, now managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire as a conservation park. The property was originally established in 1840 by Alexander and Emma Balcombe with a 6,000 acres (2,400 hectares) pastoral licence, later reduced to 1,000 acres (400 hectares). Partially used for wine production, it was then handed down through generations of the same family until in 1976, the property was transferred to the National Trust of Australia and the Shire. The site now consists of the homestead, gardens, a wildlife sanctuary, a public nursery, a public park and other private facilities such as an outdoor education camp. History Alexander Balcombe was born at a property known as The Briars on the island of St Helena in 1811. In 1815, it served as the temporary home of the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte. His father, William, became the first Treasurer of the Colony of New South Wales in April 1824, purchasing a 4000 acre property by the Molonglo River, before dying in 1829. Alexander's brother, William, then acquired an adjacent property which he also named The Briars and worked with Alexander, before dying in the goldfields in 1852. Alexander's nephew, William Alexander (son of Thomas), later moved to Wahroonga, Sydney, and also named his house there The Briars. In 1846, Alexander took livestock south with wife Emma, taking over the Tichingorouk run that had been established four years earlier, and renaming it The Briars. After a stint at the goldfields in the 1850s, he became a magistrate. They progressively built and expanded the homestead from the 1850s to the 1870s. After Alexander died in 1877, the property passed to Emma, and then onto their eldest daughter Jane Emma in 1907. In 1954, it passed to her three granddaughters, Mary, Elizabeth and Anne. Marry and Elizabeth bought out Anne's share. Mary subsequently sold her share, the southern half, in 1972. In 1976, Elizabeth's sons, Richard, Tony and Michael, gave the 8 hectare homestead and garden site jointly to the Shire and the National Trust, and sold the northern section (225 hectares) to the Shire. Its first public open day was in 1977. A wetlands was established in 1985, and an outdoor education camp and public nursery in 1997. An "Eco-Living Display Centre" followed in 2009.

Barwon Grange

Barwon Grange is a heritage-listed house and garden located in Newtown, a suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The present brick house was built in 1856, replacing an earlier timber house, and made for the prominent merchant Jonathan Porter O'Brien and his wife Ann. The house has subsequently been acquired by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and is run as a house museum. History Jonathan and Ann married and promptly emigrated from Liverpool in 1848 and arrived in Melbourne and arrived late September 1849. Four months later, their 13 month old baby, Georgiana died. Not long after the death, the couple decided to move to Geelong. Between 1850 and 1853, they moved into a weatherboard cottage overlooking the Barwon River. Their third child, John Harry Potter, was the first to be born in the house, but lived only for 9 months. Their second child, Cunningham Porter, died at their previous house in Moorabool Street at the age of 14 months. In 1856, work began on the present-day brick house, complete with 8 rooms, a coach-house, storage rooms and a garden. Furnishings in the house included damask curtains, Bohemian glass, mahogany furniture, a piano, a Minton ceramic chandelier and boardgames. The O'Brien family only lived in the house for a year, until Ann fell pregnant, and the couple decided to return to England. She gave birth to Percy Denny over there, and the family never returned. The detached kitchen was built in 1871 and designed by architects Alexander Davidson and George Henderson, and the entrance gates were designed in 1885 for James Chandwick, a later occupant of the house. The house was acquired by the National Trust in 1970, when the house was converted into a house museum, with guided tours by volunteers. See also Barwon Park Como House The Heights References
Glenfine

Glenfine is an historic homestead located at 150 Glenfine Road, Werneth, 41.7 km south-west of Ballarat, in the Golden Plains Shire, Victoria, Australia. Adjacent to the gothic-style homestead are the remains of the Glenfine South gold mine, and the site of the former mining township of Hollybush. Constructed in 1873 for pastoralist William Thomas Rowe and designed by architect H. R. Caselli, the homestead is a substantial two-storey rendered bluestone residence featuring a slate roof, cast-iron verandahs, and a glazed conservatory. The precinct is historically significant for its association with Victorian pastoral development, gold mining in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the creation of a private township to accommodate mine workers. History The Glenfine run was originally settled in 1833 by Thomas Downie, a Scottish migrant. Ownership subsequently passed to Thomas Chirnside in 1848, and then to his older brother Dr. John Chirnside in 1853, who operated the property as a horse stud. William Thomas Rowe purchased the property in 1857, using it as a pastoral estate. Only a few blocks of stone and some trees remain of the original homestead that these original property owners lived in. The two-storey bluestone homestead was designed by architect H. R. Caselli in 1872 and constructed around 1873, with later additions to the north-west wing also by Caselli. Architectural features include a steeply pitched slate roof, bracketed eaves, wrap-around verandahs with paired cast-iron columns, and an attached glazed conservatory. Ancillary structures near the homestead include a stone dairy wall, a stone store, and a timber cook's cottage. Historical records suggest that large trees surrounding the homestead may date back to an earlier 1870s garden depicted in a painting by William Tibbits, although the original design no longer survives. Gold mining and the township of Hollybush Gold was discovered on the Glenfine property in the late 19th century, leading to the development of the Glenfine South Mine, which operated from 1897 to 1908. The mine combined deep-lead and quartz extraction and was equipped with a forty-head stamping battery, a rare configuration in Victorian mining history. To accommodate mine workers, William Rowe (junior) created the private township of Hollybush, which by 1900 had a population of approximately 426, including a store, boarding houses, and over twenty cottages. The township declined as mining activity ceased, with the population dropping to 27 by 1921. Later use The Glenfine property, alongside farming, has been subject to modern gold exploration, including drilling and joint-venture mining projects targeting the historic Glenfine Dome.

Ловетт-тауэр

Ловетт-тауэр (англ. Lovett Tower) — 93-метровое здание в Канберре, столице Австралии. Оно находится в пригороде Филипп, расположенном в деловом районе столицы Woden Town Centre. Ранее сооружение называлось MLC-тауэр, но в 2000 году было переименовано комиссией по делам аборигенов и островитян Торресова пролива в честь семьи Ловетт. Ловетт-тауэр используется как офисное здание и является одним из символов Канберры, видимым из любой точки столицы и далеко за её пределами. Из-за строгих правил в строительстве, в Канберре всего три 20- или более- этажных зданий. Остальные два — Скай-тауэр и Кэпитал-тауэр — являются жилыми зданиями. В настоящее время арендаторами небоскрёба являются Министерство по делам ветеранов Австралии, Министерство окружающей среды Австралии и департамент премьер-министра и правительства, поэтому доступ в здание ограничен. Несмотря на это, на первом этаже расположены магазины, кредитный союз (на восточной стороне) и кофейня (на западной стороне). Ловетт-тауэр является третьим по высоте сооружением в Канберре, уступая только телевизионной башне Блэк Маунтин и флагштоку на здании парламента, и самым высоким зданием в городе с самым большим количеством этажей — 26, однако в списке самых высоких зданий в Австралии Ловетт-тауэр занимает всего 258 место. Небоскрёб был построен в 1973 году и до сих пор является самым высоким зданием в Канберре. Примечания Ссылки Image of the Lovett Tower and more information
