Shire of Cocos (Keeling) Islands

The Shire of Cocos (Keeling) Islands is a local government area which manages local affairs on the Australian external territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands (12°07′S 96°54′E; post code: 6799). The island is grouped with Western Australia but is administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities and an Administrator. The Shire covers an area of 14.1 km2 (5.4 sq mi) in the Indian Ocean, about 2,770 km (1,720 mi) north-west of Perth and 1,000 km (620 mi) south-west of Java in Indonesia. The current shire president is Mohammed Isa Minkom, who is serving a four-year term from 2023-2027. History From the 19th century onwards, the islands were owned by the Clunies-Ross family, and in 1886 were granted to them in perpetuity by Queen Victoria. On 23 November 1955 the islands were transferred to Australian control under the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955. In 1978, Australia entered a form of purchase of the islands with the Clunies-Ross family, and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Council came into existence in July 1979 as a representative of the Cocos Malay community. Administration The islands' administrator is also the administrator of Christmas Island. These two Territories comprise Australia's Indian Ocean Territories. The Australian Government provides Commonwealth-level government services through the Indian Ocean Territories Administration and the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities. As per the Federal Government's Territories Law Reform Act 1992, which came into force on 1 July 1992, Western Australian laws are applied to the Cocos Islands, "so far as they are capable of applying in the Territory"; non-application or partial application of such laws is at the discretion of the federal government. The Act also gives Western Australian courts judicial power over the islands. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands remain constitutionally distinct from Western Australia, however; the power of the state to legislate for the territory is a power delegated by the federal government. The kind of services typically provided by a state government elsewhere in Australia are provided by departments of the Western Australian Government, and by contractors, with the costs met by the federal government. There also exists a unicameral Cocos (Keeling) Islands Shire Council with seven seats. A full-term lasts four years, though elections are held every two years; approximately half the members retire each two years, alternating elections of three and four members for a total of seven. The first elections to the Shire Council, established by ordinance, were held in May 1993. The shire has seven councillors and no wards. The Shire's offices are at Jalan Bunga Kangkong, Home Island. Federally, Cocos (Keeling) Islanders form the electorate of Lingiari with Christmas Island and outback Northern Territory. Members There are currently seven council members, including one member serving as Shire President and another as Deputy Shire President. 2023 election results List of shire presidents References External links Official website

Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserve

Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserve is a protected area managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife and is located approximately 200 km (124 mi) east of Kalgoorlie in the Great Victoria Desert in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The explorer Ernest Giles named the spring in September 1875 as a part of the first successful east–west crossing from South Australia to the coast of Western Australia. At the time the spring was full of water, which was a great relief to him after spending 17 days without water. In 1891, the Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition, arrived at the spring hoping to fing water but instead found it dry. The spring itself is at -30.427, 123.5744. The park was gazetted on 21 August 1970 as a Class A nature reserve and encompasses an area of approximately 212,600 ha (525,000 acres). The western portion of the reserve lies in the Western Australian mulga shrublands ecoregion (Murchison bioregion), and the eastern portion is in the Great Victoria Desert. The north eastern part of the reserve is composed of sand plains and sand dunes with occasional salt pans with red-brown soils. The south west is composed of more complex soils with gently undulating plains with some outcrops of rocks, the soils are alkaline red earth underlain by limestone or with limestone nodules found just under the soil layer. Two rare vertebrates; Southern Marsupial Mole (Notoryctes typhlops) and Mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) have both been collected from around the spring. Rare flora including species of Eremophila are also found within the park. References

Sydney Tramway Museum

Das Sydney Tramway Museum ist ein Straßenbahnmuseum am Stadtrand der australischen Metropole Sydney. Es befindet sich direkt neben der Station Loftus der "Cityrail" S-Bahn, die in 45 Minuten vom Stadtzentrum erreichbar ist. Zu dem Verkehrsmuseum gehören Ausstellungshallen, Werkstätten und eine eigene Museumsstrecke von 3,5 km Länge. Das 1950 gegründete Museum umfasst rund 50 Fahrzeuge. Neben Straßenbahn-Triebwagen aus Sydney befinden sich auch Fahrzeuge aus anderen australischen Städten und aus dem Ausland hier, wie der Tw 1054 aus dem japanischen Nagasaki (bzw. ursprünglich Sendai, Baujahr 1952, 1969 umgebaut), der Tw 2656 aus München, der Tw 5133 aus Berlin (Reko-Tw, mit Stangenstromabnehmer) oder der PCC-Wagen 1014 aus San Francisco. Auch der Doppeldeckeroberleitungsbus 19 aus dem Baujahr 1937 (aber erst ab 1939 im Einsatz) ist ausgestellt, der 1959 mit der Einstellung des Obusbetriebs in Sydney abgestellt wurde. Zu den eher ungewöhnlichen Exponaten gehört der Gefangenentransport-Triebwagen 948; im Inneren sind auch die Zellen noch erhalten, und Zeitungsberichte erzählen die Geschichte von zwei Häftlingen, denen die Flucht aus diesem Wagen gelang. Auch ein Brems-Dummy vom Baujahr 1903 zu sehen. Er stand auf einer sehr starken Gefällstrecke zum Hafen und sollte verhindern, dass Triebwagen ins Hafenbecken rollten. Daher hing er an einem Seil, das wie bei einer Kabelbahn in einem Schlitz verlief und mit einem Gegengewicht verbunden war. Weblinks Offizielle Website (englisch)

Collier Range National Park

Collier Range National Park is a national park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 878 km (546 mi) northeast of Perth. The nearest major town to the park is Newman located about 166 km (103 mi) north near Kumarina. The park is one of many in the Pilbara and was established in 1978. The ranges vary from low hills to high ridges with many cliffs. The vegetation found in the area is mostly spinifex and mulga with creeklines being surrounded by eucalypts. Mulga scrub and mulla mulla are found in dense scrubland in the northeastern plains with spinifex and sand dunes being found in the western end. The park is the home of the threatened Pilbara Pebble-Mound Mouse Pseudomys chapmani which is also found in the Millstream-Chichester National Park and the Karlamilyi National Park. The mulga habitat is a refuge for the critical weight range mammals such as Macrotis lagotis (greater bilby), Dasycercus cristicauda (mulgara) and dasyurids. The standard of management in the park is poor and is only visited occasionally by Department of Parks and Wildlife staff from Karratha. The park is baited for wild dogs but suffers damage from feral donkeys and wandering cattle. No fire management is in practice and weed problems are unknown.

Mt Webber mine

The Mt Webber mine is an iron ore mine operated by Atlas Iron and located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 230 kilometres (140 mi) from Port Hedland, to where the ore is transported. Mt Webber, opened in 2014, is the company's primary operation. Overview The mine officially opened in July 2014 and was, at the time, the company’s fifth operation, initially contributing 1 million tonnes (2.2 billion pounds) of iron ore per annum to the company's production. At the time of opening, the iron ore price was at a two year low but, at the same time, labour costs had also been lower, allowing for reduced construction costs. A joint venture of Atlas Iron Limited and Altura Mining Limited at the time, construction cost of Mt Webber was A$210 million. Less than a year after opening Mt Webber, Atlas Iron suspended all operations because of declining iron ore prices. The mine reopened two month later, in July 2015, after Atlas had reached a A$12 million mining royalties relief deal with the Government of Western Australia and reduced its production cost to below A$50, at an iron ore market price of A$61.50 at the time. Expected production figures at the time were 6 million tonnes (13 billion pounds) per annum for the next eight years. Atlas Iron was acquired by Redstone Resources, a fully owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting in October 2018. Having exhausted the Pardoo, Wodgina, Abydos and Mt Dove mines by 2021, Atlas was operating just two mines at this point, Mt Webber and Sanjiv Ridge (formerly Corunna Downs). A third mine, Miralga Creek, commenced operations in late February 2022.

Eliwana mine

The Eliwana mine is an iron ore mine operated by the Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) and located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 90 km (56 mi) west of Tom Price. The mine forms the core of the company's Western Hub, one of three of its active mining areas, together with the Chichester Hub and the Solomon Hub. Overview Iron ore exploration in the area by FMG commenced in 2006 on land traditionally owned by the indigenous Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people. By late 2016, FMG's Firetail mine, which produced high grade ore essential for blending with lower grade ore from other sides, was scheduled to be depleted by 2019. FMG approved the construction of the Eliwana mine in May 2018, reportedly to replace the Firetail mine. Construction of the mine commenced in July 2019 at a projected cost of A$1.8 billion. The mine was officially opened on 8 December 2020 by the Western Australian Minister for Mines and Petroleum, Bill Johnston. Operated by the Fortescue Metals Group, the mine is scheduled to produce 30 million tonnes of iron ore per annum. During the construction of the mine, approximately 2,000 people were employed, while, once in operation, this number dropped to 500. A 143 km (89 mi) rail link, completed after the opening of the mine, connects Eliwana to the previously existing parts of the Fortescue railway. The railway line was eventually completed in March 2021. The mine forms the core of the company's Western Hub, one of three of FMG's active mining areas as of 2022. Apart from the Western Hub, the company also mines the Chichester Hub, consisting of the Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak mines, and the Solomon Hub, consisting of the Firetail, Kings Valley and Queens Valley mines.
