City Interchange

City Interchange, formerly City Bus Station is located in the central business district of Canberra. It is a major connecting point for Transport Canberra services across the ACT, as well as commuter bus services to surrounding areas in New South Wales. Bus stands are located on Alinga Street, East Row and Mort Street, while light rail platforms are located in the median on Northbourne Avenue. The Jolimont Centre, which serves as a station for long-distance, interstate coach services is located to the west of Northbourne Avenue, within easy walking distance of all stands and platforms. History Construction began in January 1982 with the station opening on 23 November 1982 replacing a temporary stabling facility on the Jolimont Centre site. Buses had previously stopped in Northbourne Avenue and London Circuit, but these stops were not separated from general traffic. Initially only served by ACTION, from January 1999 Deane's Buslines (now CDC Canberra) and Transborder Express began providing services. Having been named City Bus Station since it opened, in April 2019 it was renamed City Interchange coinciding with the opening of stage 1 of Canberra's light rail network.

City Cross Arcade

City Cross is a two-level shopping complex located on 31-39 Rundle Mall Adelaide South Australia with entrances to Grenfell Street, James Place and Gawler Place. The centre is owned by the Makris Group, who purchased the site in 2001 after it was placed up for sale by the previous owners, Hawaiian Investments, in 2000. The main three anchors are Forever New, Harvey Norman and Rebel Sports. The complex also features smaller retailers and a large food court including KFC, Balfours, Subway, Oporto, Charlesworth Nuts, Bean Bar and many other food outlets. Amongst the smaller stores are Watch Doctor and Archer and Holland. Australia Post Adelaide Rundle Mall Post Shop is also located on the first floor. The site was redeveloped at a cost of $6m in 1984, almost doubling the number of shops in the center by expanding on to the former sites of two local buildings – the Mutual Life Chambers and the Widow's Fund building. Among the suggestions for the site prior to the completion of the 1984 redevelopment was the construction of a Grenfell Street underpass, although these plans never eventuated. Another, smaller, redevelopment occurred in 1996 when the centre was under the management of Hawaiian Investments. In April, 2003 a $100m redevelopment of the site was announced, to be completed in three stages. The first stage of the redevelopment, completed at a cost of $25m, was opened by Premier Mike Rann on 22 November 2005, and effectively doubled the retail area of the centre. Shortly before the completion of the first stage, Amart All Sports announced that they would be moving into the new premises, joining Harvey Norman who had previously announced their tenancy in the expanded site. The second stage was to include a 450 car parking station above the site, with a planned third stage to incorporate a 10-storey office tower. References 34°55′27″S 138°36′05″E
City Recital Hall

City Recital Hall in Sydney, Australia, is a purpose-built concert venue with the capacity for an audience of 1,238 people seated over three tiers of sloped seating. It is situated in the city centre in Angel Place, nearby Martin Place. The architect was Peddle Thorp & Walker Architects and acoustic consultant was Arup Acoustics. History City Recital Hall, opened in 1999, is the first specially designed concert venue to be built in the city since the Opera House in 1973. The venue was initiated by the City of Sydney and was specifically designed for solo recitals, chamber music and the spoken word. The auditorium's 1.8-second reverberation time is attuned for chamber music. The spoken word and amplified music are accommodated by the operation of specially designed acoustic banners. The entire auditorium is supported on rubber bearings to avoid vibration and street sounds and the air conditioning and lighting systems have been treated to minimise external noise. The Hall was designed in a shoebox shape, based on the classical configuration of 19th-century European concert halls. The design includes gently sloping stalls and two galleries that wrap around both sides and rear of the auditorium. The décor is of grey, gold leaf, light timber panelling and plum-coloured upholstery. The main grand stairway is white marble. Since 2023, City Recital Hall has been undergoing a Capital Renewal Project in partnership with the City of Sydney. The renovations encompass the four foyers, including the four bars and cloakroom, the lower ground bathrooms, the dressing and green rooms, and the orchestra room. In addition, the venue's audio system has been upgraded to enable 360-degree spatial sound on all three levels, with the aim of further establishing a place in Sydney's contemporary music scene to complement classical offerings. Since June 2023, partially as a result of renovations, City Recital Hall began offering standing general admission concerts. Notable events and performances City Recital Hall has hosted the following companies: Australian Brandenburg Orchestra Australian Chamber Orchestra Australian String Quartet Gondwana Voices Musica Viva Australia Pinchgut Opera Selby & Friends Sydney Children's Choir Sydney Festival Sydney Philharmonia Choirs Sydney Symphony Orchestra Sydney Writers' Festival A list of some of the more famous musical acts that have performed at City Recital Hall include: See also List of concert halls Forgotten Songs (artwork) Notes References Murray, Lisa Anne (2005).

Clairvaux MacKillop College

Clairvaux MacKillop College is a Roman Catholic co-educational secondary school located in Upper Mount Gravatt, a suburb in the south side of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. With a student body of over 1300, the school was founded in 1986 by the amalgamation of Clairvaux College and the MacKillop Catholic College. History Clairvaux College was founded by the Christian Brothers in 1966 as a Catholic all-boys secondary school with Brother Surawski as principal. In 1971 it was decided that the all-girls Catholic secondary school St Joseph's College be moved from its current location in Holland Park to the site adjoining Clairvaux College and be renamed Mackillop College. Sister Margaret Mary Campbell was the first principal. Both schools operated as separate colleges until 1984, with some sharing of classes, teaching staff, and sports facilities. A decision was made to amalgamate the two colleges and full integration occurred in 1988 with the co-educational school renamed to Clairvaux MacKillop College. House system The students are divided into the following 6 houses: Aspinall (Orange): Named after Father Kevin Aspinall, PP. Campbell (Yellow): Named after Sister Margaret Mary Campbell, first principal of Mackillop. (formally O'Donnell) Chisholm (Green): Named after Caroline Chisholm. (formally Penola) MacKillop (Red): Named after Mary MacKillop. (formally Duhig) Rice (Blue): Named after Edmund Rice. Surawski (Purple): Named after Brother Surawski, the first principal of Clairvaux College. The house system was expanded in 1995 and the six houses participate in fund raising for selected charities, vie in three inter-house sporting events annually and come together as a united college for inter-school sport events.

Claremont Showground

The Claremont Showground in Perth, Western Australia, is home to the annual Perth Royal Show. In 1902, 13 hectares (32 acres) of land were reserved in Claremont, a suburb of Perth, for a new showground to replace the Guildford Showgrounds. The Royal Agricultural Show, of three days, was first held there in October and November 1905. History During World War I and World War II, the showgrounds were used to house and train Australian troops. In 1929, a pavilion and other features were built for the Western Australia Centenary. The Claremont Showground is serviced by a special events railway station on the Fremantle line. Opened on 20 September 1995, it has direct connection with the showgrounds. The original Showgrounds Station, opened in 1954, was located 350 metres (1,150 ft) further east with platforms on either side of the line, and required negotiating road crossings to access the showgrounds. Bruce Campbell Arena The Bruce Campbell Arena, an enclosed grass field forms the focal point of events at the Showgrounds. Speedway From 1927 until 2000, the 586-metre (641-yard) Claremont Speedway operated on a track around the edge of the arena. Its size made it the largest speedway in weekly operation in a state capital in Australia. With the closure of Claremont, speedway in Perth moved to the 500-metre (550-yard) Perth Motorplex Speedway in Kwinana Beach. Australian rules football The arena has in the past been used for Australian rules football matches. In the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Perth won its first premiership against East Fremantle there in 1907. They were the original home of Claremont-Cottesloe Football Club in its first year in the WAFL before moving to Claremont Oval in 1927. On 19 March 2005, the venue was used to host a one-off WAFL match between Claremont and West Perth, with Claremont winning in front of 7,812 spectators. Due to redevelopment of Claremont Oval, Claremont used the Showgrounds as its home ground between 2014 and 2016.

Claremont Teachers College

Claremont Teachers College was Western Australia's first post-secondary teaching institution. It opened in 1902 and closed in 1981, when it became a College of Advanced Education then a campus of Edith Cowan University before being acquired by the University of Western Australia. The building is on land between Goldsworthy, Princess and Bay Roads in the western Perth, Western Australia suburb of Claremont. It is a large two storey limestone building set in extensive grounds, with a distinctive square crenellated tower, and was entered in the Register of the National Estate in 1987. Background In 1847 the General Board of Education was established to oversee school development in the Swan River Colony. After becoming the Central Board of Education, it was superseded by the Education Department in 1893, which classified schools, graded teachers, defined teachers' positions, implemented a salary scale for teachers, abolished school fees, provided for co-educational schools, and made attendance compulsory for children between the ages of six and 14. At this time, the Education Department had "external study" for student teachers, where they taught in the classroom while studying for examinations set by the department. In 1902, the college was opened and students could gain qualifications through studying there. It was the only place one could do this until the 1950s when the Churchlands and Graylands colleges opened. The function of teacher education did not pass into the university sector until the 1980s. The college's last Director was Thomas Ryan (1924–2002), who completed his teacher training at the college and graduated in 1947. He was appointed Vice-Principal of the college in 1972, a position he held until his appointment as director of the college in 1980. The campus was the Claremont campus of Edith Cowan University following that institution's formation in 1989. Upon acquisition of the campus by the University of Western Australia in 2004, the campus became home to the Confucius Institute, University of Western Australia Press and, until 2021, Taylors College.

Clematis railway station

Clematis railway station is situated on the Puffing Billy Railway, near the town of Clematis, Victoria. The station originated as an unnamed stopping place 8+1⁄2 mi (13.7 km) along the narrow gauge line from Upper Fern Tree Gully. In May 1902, the Victorian Railways requested that Fern Tree Gully Shire Council supply a name; the council selected Paradise Valley over the alternative, Lambie. A journalist on the line in 1903 observed that "stations on the line are only so by courtesy"; there were no facilities except an earthen platform. By 1909, the station was known simply as Paradise. In 1921, the station was again renamed to Clematis to match the name of the nearby post office, with the aim of reducing confusion for passengers. A Fern Tree Gully councillor lamented "Paradise lost". Trains rarely stop here, except by prior arrangement, often for groups travelling to the Paradise Hotel (behind the station). Clematis contains a small loop siding with a dead end spur, which are staff operated. References External links Melway map at street-directory.com.au
Clive Berghofer Stadium

Clive Berghofer Stadium (officially known as Toowoomba Sports Ground and previously known as Athletic Oval) is a stadium in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Situated on Mary Street on the eastern fringes of Toowoomba CBD adjacent to Queens Park and Toowoomba East State School. The ticket counters and entrance are on Arthur Street behind the (east facing) grandstand. It was renamed to reflect the home club's major sponsor, philanthropist property developer and former local Mayor Clive Berghofer. The stadium is the home ground of National Premier Leagues soccer club, the South West Queensland Thunder. The Gold Coast Titans have played pre-season games here since 2014 and in 2018 hosted the first ever National Rugby League (NRL) premiership match in Toowoomba. The stadium also plays host to rugby league, rugby union and football (soccer) and includes lights which are up to National Rugby League standard. The recently upgraded grandstand includes undercover seating for 2,300. It has the capacity to hold 9,000 people officially; however, the largest crowd is estimated to be 10,000 which occurred during a 2004 NRL pre-season game between Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm. In the past, the stadium has hosted international and national rugby league matches as well as concerts and rodeos. The stadium became the scene of controversy when indigenous activist Stephen Hagan in 1999 noticed a sign declaring the name of the E. S. "Nigger" Brown Stand, named after the 1920s rugby league player Edwin Stanley Brown who was also known as "Nigger" Brown. Hagan regarded the word "nigger" as offensive and embarked on a ten-year campaign to have the stand renamed, while those opposed to the renaming said that Brown's nickname could not be a racial slur as Brown was a fair-skinned man of European descent. While Hagan's court battles were ultimately unsuccessful, the name was not used again when the stand was demolished as part of the stadium's upgrades. See also Sport in Queensland References
Clocktower Centre

The Clocktower Centre, previously known as Essendon Town Hall or Moonee Ponds Town Hall, is a civic building in Moonee Ponds in Melbourne, Australia, located at 750 Mount Alexander Road, at the junction with Pascoe Vale Road. Operated by the City of Moonee Valley, it is a venue for performing arts, as well as community and corporate activities. Building history The building has evolved substantially over time. It was originally built as the Essendon Mechanics Institute in a Victorian architectural style, and opened in September 1880. In February 1886, it was rechristened as the Essendon Town Hall. By 1914, the building had been extended and was reopened in July of that year. In 1930, a clock was installed in the tower and, in 1941, the building was again modified, with sections being rebuilt. After the council chambers were moved to the new civic centre in 1973, the former town hall was converted into a community centre. It was renovated and officially opened as the Essendon Community Centre in 1976. A fire in 1978 caused substantial internal damage to the building but, by 1979, it had been repaired and reopened. In February 2000, following substantial renovations, the building was officially reopened as the Clocktower Centre.

Clonard College

Clonard College is an independent Roman Catholic secondary day school for girls, located in Herne Hill, a suburb of Geelong, in Victoria, Australia. Founded and owned by the Brigidine Sisters in 1956, Clonard College follows the traditions of the Brigidine order and Kildare Ministries. Overview Clonard School was established in 1956, when the Brigidine Sisters acquired the Clonard property at the invitation of Father John Tresidder, the Manifold Parish Priest. The school was named "Clonard" to honor the association between Saint Brigid and Saint Finnian of Clonard in fifth-century Ireland. The founding sisters, including Sister Lelia Grant, began classes with 40 students in its initial year. Clonard College was officially opened on 9 February 1958. In 1977, the assembly hall and library were constructed with partial funding from the first Federal grant. In 1983, John Shannon became the first full-time lay Principal. Later, in the late 1990s, Clonard's leadership adopted a Co-Principalship model with Vicki Myers, a former Clonard student, joining Michael Doyle in the Co-Principal positions. The late 1990s and early part of the 21st century saw revitalised enrolment growth, accommodated by expansive building programs, delivering a theatre, design education centre, materials technology room, expanded office space, refurbished science facilities, a gymnasium and multi purpose court within the school grounds. In 2006, Clonard celebrated its 50th anniversary with a range of functions involving past students and key founders. The year of celebration reached its peak with the anniversary dinner at Kardinia Park and concluded with the 2006 Celebration of "Achievement Evening" at Costa Hall, whose theme reflected 50 years of achievement in the name of Clonard. In physical terms, the college's expansion and development continued with the opening of the newly built two-storey Year 12 Center, containing a number of modern and flexible learning areas and office spaces on its upper floor and the large "Independent Learning Centre", beneath, dedicated to serving the particular personal and academic needs of the college's Year 12 girls. Early in 2008, the year 7 rooms along Church Street were demolished to allow construction of a modern, two-storey Year 7 Centre, equipped with a range of sustainability technologies. The Year 7 Learning Centre was officially opened on 24 April 2009. In November 2012, it was announced that Clonard College had purchased "Minerva", a former campus of Western Heights College. In 2013, Clonard embarked on a major building project with the construction of a new Yr. 8 & 9 Centre, along with the demolition and refurbishment of the Minerva road campus. In September 2018, a multipurpose building along the Church Street entrance was completed and opened to students, mainly consisting of a library and counselling services.
