Albert Park College

Albert Park College is a public, co-educational high school located in Albert Park, Victoria, Australia. In 2018, the school had 1036 enrolments and 79 teaching staff. Construction of the new school was completed in late 2010 and it opened in February 2011. The school opened with Year 7 and grew past full capacity over the next 10 years, including general and SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) enrolments. The curriculum includes Arts and Culture (English, French, Art, Music and Drama), Science and Exploration (Mathematics, Science, Food and Technology) and Student Leadership (Sport, Physical Education and Community Leadership e.g. Lifesaving and Sailing). History The new school is built on the site of the previous Albert Park College in Danks Street which closed at the end of 2006 due to a dramatic decline in enrolments. Originally opened as South Melbourne High School then renamed Albert Park High School, it was renamed again as Hobson's Bay Secondary College, and then Albert Park Secondary College before closing in 2006. In 2002 the State Government spent $1 million on renovations to fix leaking walls and rotting carpet, local MP John Thwaites saying the decay was caused by eight years of neglect by the former Kennett government. In the five years to 2005 student numbers had fallen from 460 to 242, by 2006 they had fallen further to 206 with only 15 students enrolled to start year 7 the next year. Meanwhile, the suburb had gentrified during the past two decades, but local residents chose not to send their children to the school because of the poor reputation and low academic results. The buildings were demolished between May and November 2008. Soil contamination (common in the area from the former Gasworks sites) delayed construction of the new buildings, which was originally planned to reopen in 2009. After delays in construction, a new purpose-built school was opened for Year 7 students in 2011, with contemporary architecture designed by Woods Bagot, and expanded to house 1200+ students from years 7 to 12, costing $20 million to build.

Albion Hotel, Cottesloe

The Albion Hotel on Stirling Highway in Cottesloe, Western Australia is a historical building, trading as a hotel since 1870. In its early years it was known as Halfway House - being located midway between Fremantle and Perth. The site was established by Thomas Briggs before 1869. The current hotel has traded under various names for over a century as a public house. Early history In 1864 Thomas Ernest Briggs paid £10, equivalent to A$1,523 in 2022, for "Swan Location 349". It is unclear whether Briggs erected a new building or made amendments to an existing structure on the site, although many convict-era colonist writings make reference to building on the Albion site in the mid to late 1860s. Records show that Briggs applied for a publican licence in 1870 and the original inn was called Halfway House. Briggs sold the property to Robert Napoleon Bullen in 1882. Robert's name is now immortalised in the popular cafe strip Napoleon Street. Bullen had grand plans to create the Albion Pleasure Grounds but he died before his plans were realised. In 1907 the hotel was up for tender for purchase from Alice Bullen. In 1912 the licence was changed from Norman Ferres to Frederick Treadgold. Alex Cooper became licensee in 1924 and operated the hotel until 1941. The pub safe was stolen in June 1929. In 1930, men were charged with using an adjacent vacant block as a betting place. Fire In 2016, a fire in the roof-space caused A$10,000 worth of damage, but the building was saved from destruction.

Alexander Library Building

The Alexander Library Building is located in the Cultural Centre of Perth, Western Australia. It was named after Western Australian historian and former member of the Library Board, Fred Alexander. It houses the State Library of Western Australia, the J S Battye Library, and the State Records Office, in the Perth Cultural Precinct. The building falls under the responsibility of the Western Australian government Department of Culture and Arts. It was completed and opened in 1985. It has been changed internally over time, however the basic structure remains. Earlier landscape The sloped walkway just east of the building runs roughly along the alignment of the old Museum Street, which ran between James Street and Francis Street. The street had a unique streetscape, one of the most mixed in this area of the Perth central business district – which was all removed in the construction of the new library building. Only one building is commemorated on the Alexander Library Building structure – the Perth Baptist Church which was in Museum Street from 1899 to 1979. The Theosophical Bookshop and library was long established at the corner of Museum and James Streets. The streetscape can be found in Wise's Directories for the earlier decades.

Alfords Point Bridge

Alfords Point Bridge is a twin 445-metre-long (1,460 ft) concrete and steel box girder road bridge that carries Alford Point Road as state route A6 across the lower Georges River between Padstow Heights in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown and Alfords Point in the Sutherland Shire in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The first bridge opened on 7 September 1973. Although the deck was built wide enough to accommodate three lanes of traffic, it carried one lane of traffic in each direction. In 1980 the lane arrangements on the bridge were changed to provide a third lane, and a tidal-flow traffic management system was introduced, with two lanes northbound in the morning and two lanes southbound in the evenings. When the first bridge was built, a second set of piles and abutments was built a few metres downstream, allowing for future duplication. The second bridge was opened for southbound traffic on 22 August 2008, leaving the first bridge for northbound use only. Description There are two other road crossings over Georges River downstream of the Alfords Point Bridge: the Captain Cook Bridge, which opened in 1965 and connects Sans Souci to Taren Point; and the Tom Uglys Bridge, which opened in 1929 and connects Blakehurst to Sylvania. History The bridge was built as the last link in the Hornsby-Heathcote county road (although a number of route realignments followed), and serves a metropolitan function. Construction of the bridge allowed the decommissioning (in 1976) of Lugarno ferry, which had operated since 1843 on Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell's line of the Illawarra Road. The ferry had operated between Lugarno and Illawong. See also List of bridges in Sydney References

Since 1989 the school building has undergone considerable refurbishment, including the acquisition of modern kitchens and technology, including information technology and photography areas. During 1991 the school gymnasium was completed at a cost of AU$1.8 million and officially opened on 26 July 1991 by Bill Wood. In more recent times special purpose rooms for dance and drama, computing, multi-media and problem solving in mathematics have been added. In early 1999 major refurbishments were completed in the science area and similar improvements to teaching spaces in Technology were completed in 2000. During 2007 and 2009 the school undertook upgrades which included new toilets, new carpeting and an update to the gym. The upgrades were part of the Rudd government's Education revolution. The school is a "bring your own device" school and was one of the public schools in the ACT to embrace Google Apps for Education. On 9 June 2017, Yvette Berry, the ACT Education minister opened a refurbished kitchen. In September 2020, it was reported that the school had dealt with lead paint contamination and it was discovered in August 2020 during construction work on the school hall, becoming the third school in the ACT to do so since the July school holidays. Weekend education The Canberra Japanese Supplementary School Inc., a Japanese weekend educational programme, holds its classes at Alfred Deakin High, while the school offices are in Yarralumla.

Hassell National Park

Hassell National Park is a national park in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, 367 kilometres (228 mi) southeast of Perth and 57 km (35 mi) north east of Albany. It is named after John Hassell, a retired sea captain, who was responsible for opening up extensive areas in the south of the state during the 1850s as he extended his pastoral leases east from Frankland as far as Jerramungup. The park straddles the South Coast Highway between Manypeaks and Wellstead. The site is regarded as an important ecological area as a result of it being a largely intact vegetation and wildlife corridor that serves to link the Mount Manypeaks and Waychinicup areas with the Cheynes Beach and Pallinup areas. The park has no entry fee and has no facilities provided for visitors. A population of the very rare Brown's banksia, composed of 100 to 200 plants, can be found within the confines of the park.

Хасселл (национальный парк)

Национальный парк Хасселл (англ. Hassell National Park) — национальный парк в округе Большой Южный в Западной Австралии, расположенный в 367 км к юго-востоку от столицы штата Перта и в 57 км к северо-востоку от Албани. Площадь парка составляет 12,65 км². Описание Парк назван в честь Джона Хассела, капитана дальнего плавания в отставке, который отвечал за открытие обширных территорий на юге штата в 1850-х годах, когда он продлил свои пасторальные владения к востоку от Франкленда до Джеррамунгупа. Парк расположен вдоль шоссе Южного побережья между Манипикс и Веллстедом. Это место считается важным экологическим районом, поскольку представляет собой экологический коридор почти нетронутой растительности и дикой природы, который соединяет районы горы Маунт-Манипикс и реки Уэйчиникап с районами Чейни-Бич и реки Паллинап.

All Saints Catholic Senior College

All Saints Catholic Senior College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational senior secondary day school located in the south-western Sydney suburb of Casula, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1987, the College educates students in Year 11 and Year 12 and provides the final two years of education for the students from All Saints Catholic College and All Saints Catholic Primary School located in Casula, close to its high school counterpart in the heart of Liverpool. The College has a maximum enrolment of approximately 601 students. History Prior to 1987, children of the Parish of All Saints, Liverpool could choose to receive a secondary Catholic education by attending Patrician Brothers' Boys High Liverpool and Saint Mary's Girls High Liverpool and receive the NSW School Certificate as their highest certification. In 1984, an action group of parents, chaired by Ray McMahon, was established to raise support for the establishment of a Catholic senior secondary school in Liverpool. Such a development was already a priority of Liverpool Parish priest Father Roth Delaney and together they lobbied government and Catholic education office bearers while raising community support and funding for the school. Originally planned for Ashcroft, land negotiations lead to the final site location in Leacocks Lane, Casula. In 1987, All Saints Catholic Senior High School, was established by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney and classes began in temporary demountable classrooms on 2 February 1987 on the site of St Mary's High and Patrician Brothers' High, Liverpool. Following a rapid ten-week construction, the current Leacocks Lane campus was opened in 1988 with 380 students and 29 teaching staff. The College was officially blessed on Sunday 27 March 1988 by Archbishop Edward Clancy after which permanent building construction began. Other names Later changes to the naming of its principal feeder schools, from Patrician Brothers Boys High Liverpool to All Saints Catholic Boys College and Saint Mary's Girls High Liverpool to All Saints Catholic Girls College saw the senior school adopt the new title of All Saints Catholic Senior College. More recently, amalgamation of the two junior campuses into a coeducational campus has led to the current trichotomy of All Saints K-12 education in Liverpool: All Saints Catholic Primary School (K–6) All Saints Catholic College (7–10) All Saints Catholic Senior College (11–12) College patrons, vision and mission The Patron Saints of the college are: Óscar Romero (1917–1980) Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910–1997) See also List of Catholic schools in New South Wales References External links All Saints Catholic Senior College Official site All Saints Official site
All Souls Anglican Church, Leichhardt

All Souls is an Anglican church in the Diocese of Sydney. The church is located in the corner of Norton and Marion Streets, Leichhardt, New South Wales, Australia. First building The first All Souls' Parish Church was opened for public worship on Saturday, 7 January 1882. The building and the land together cost £800. Current church building Soon after the first building was opened, the first Rector of the parish Thomas Holme encouraged the parish to build a new and bigger church to house the congregation. The new church was designed by Blacket Bros. This is the architectural firm founded by Edmund Blacket who was a prominent Anglican Church architect of the eighteenth century. The church is designed in the early English Gothic style. It has a simple brick façade with a tile roof and is finished with sandstone details. There is also a box shaped tower with a slender style spire which was built at a later time. The building is heritage listed as be notable for its landmark tower. The church's website describes the building is being "distinctively evangelical with its short sanctuary and lack of cruciform design". The first service in the new building was conducted on 2 February 1884. In the news The church came to notice in the media with its introduction of a "café" style church service in 2004. This was to accommodate the changing nature of the Leichhardt area since the post-war immigration of Europeans to Australia. Since World War II, the area has become known as the "Little Italy" of Sydney. The café service was there a natural extension of the café streetscape of the Norton Street. Later during the soccer world cup, the church posted a sign outside its building that read "Jesus saves better than Kalak". Later, another sign read "We're putting the mental back into fundamentalism." and then later "We're putting the fun back into fundamentalism". Prominent members of Ministry The Rev Dr Leon Morris, later New Testament scholar and Principal of Ridley Melbourne, taught Sunday School at the branch church of St Mark's Lilyfield as a young man in the 1930s. The Rev. Dr. Tim Foster was appointed in May 2002 and left in May 2009 to the role of Director of Ridley Melbourne. His replacement, announced on 7 June 2009, was Rev. Darren Hindle, a graduate of Sydney Mission and Bible College who has previously served at St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Kowloon, Hong Kong and St John's, Shaughnessy, Vancouver, British Columbia, and as Anglican Chaplain to the Royal Australian Navy.

Allen Island, Queensland

Allen Island, also known as Allens Island or Allen's Island, is one of the South Wellesley Islands, in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria. It was named by Matthew Flinders after John Allen, a Derbyshire miner who was a member of the party of naturalists that accompanied the 1801–1803 voyage of HMS Investigator under Flinders. Flinders landed a party of botanists on the island on 20 November 1802 to search for plants.
