Джилонзький ботанічний сад

Джилонзький ботанічний сад (англ. Geelong Botanic Gardens — ботанічний сад у місті Джилонг (штат Вікторія, Австралія). Сад розташований в Істерн-парку на сході Центрального ділового району міста. Він був заснований 1851 року і є четвертим найстарішим ботанічним садом Австралії. Ботанічний сад є членом Міжнародної ради ботанічних садів з охорони рослин (BGCI), його міжнародний код GEELG. Історія 1850 року сад був створений як суспільний простір, займаючи весь нинішній Істерн-Парк. Під ботанічний сад пізніше була виділена обгороджена територія в центрі парку. У кінці XIX століття в число об'єктів ботанічного саду входили дерев'яна оранжерея папороті, вольєри для птахів, мавпятник і рибна ферма. 1857 року першим куратором саду був призначений Даніель Банс. Кілька оранжерей було побудовано в 1859 році. У 1872 році, після смерті Банса, куратором став Джон Радденберрі. У жовтні 1885 року було відкрито оранжерею папороті. Її довжина становила 37 метрів, ширина — 18,5 метра, і вона перебувала там, де в даний час знаходиться фонтан Джорджа М. Хічкока. Оранжерея папороті була розширена 1886 року восьмикутною оранжереєю висотою 18,5 метрів зі ставком, розташованим внизу. Третю частину оранжереї додали 1887 року, внаслідок чого її загальна довжина збільшилася до 92 метрів. Папоротева оранжерея була знесена після Другої світової війни через те, що дерев'яна будівля вже не годилася для використання. Сад був відреставрований 2002 року, з'явилася нова секція для рослин посушливого клімату і місцевих рослин. Сад прикрашений сучасними скульптурами. Колекції ботанічного саду У ботанічному саду зберігаються колекції рослин з Австралії та інших країн. Австралійські рослини складають 10% від загального числа рослин ботанічного саду. Серед найбільших колекцій: Види та культурні сорти пеларгонії, Агапантуси, Шавлії, Розарій. Галерея Посилання Geelong Botanic Gardens / BGCI (англ.)

Old Geelong Post Office

The current Geelong post office opened in 1994 and is located on the corner of Gheringhap and Little Myers Streets. The original post office was located on the corner of Ryrie and Gheringhap Streets. The Geelong Telegraph Station was located next door. History The first post office in Geelong, which opened around June 1840, was in a corner of a store in Barwon Terrace, South Geelong. After August 1842, the Geelong Advertiser office was used as a post office. A permanent post office was completed in 1857 on the corner of Ryrie and Gheringhap Streets, erected by contractor William Crocker Cornish. It was demolished in 1889 to make way for the building that stands on the site today. The new building was opened in 1891, with one major omission – the clock tower did not have a clock in it. Work on providing a clock and chimes started in July 1911, as a memorial to the late King Edward VII, following a fund-raising campaign, with a London firm contracted to supply the timepiece. Each clock face is 2.5 meters in diameter. The hour hands are a meter long, and the minute hands 1.25 meters long. The chimes comprise five bells, the largest one weighing 15 hundredweight (760 kg). They were first activated on 2 December 1911. Today In 1994, Australia Post relocated the main Geelong post office to the corner of Gheringhap and Little Myers streets. The old post office building was purchased by the City of Greater Geelong and is currently used as a youth services hub. References Peter Begg (1990). Geelong – The First 150 Years. Globe Press.

Geelong Racecourse

The Geelong Racecourse is a major regional horse racing venue in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The current racecourse dates to 1908. The annual Geelong Cup is held at the course every October, as well as a number of other race meetings through the year. History The first race meeting in Geelong was on 1 May 1841, at Corio. Three races were held on the day. The next race meeting was held at "Airey's Flat", on the banks the Moorabool River near Fyansford. In 1849, a start was made on a proper racecourse, with 727 acres (2.94 km2) of land beside the Barwon River at Marshalltown chosen. Situated close to Lake Connewarre, the land was subject to frequent flooding. The Geelong Racing Club was formed in 1866, and held its first race meeting on 18 and 19 January 1866. 23 February 1872 saw the first Geelong Cup held at the Marshalltown course, where a new grandstand was opened. A railway branch line was provided to the course in 1878. In 1907, it was decided to relocate the Geelong Racecourse and the Geelong Showgrounds to their current site on Breakwater Road, East Geelong. The first race meeting was held at the new venue in March 1908, with the first Geelong Racing Club meeting being held there on 12 December 1908. A makeshift rail platform for racegoers was provided on the Queenscliff railway line, but the railway authorities vetoed its use after a year or so. As an alternative, the Geelong Racecourse railway station was constructed on the Warrnambool line. The Geelong Racing Club, the Geelong Agricultural Society and the Hibernian Society together paid the Victorian Railways £1000 to have the station built. The course itself has seen a number of upgrades, the most recent being the provision of a third grandstand and improvements to the track itself.

Geelong Town Hall

Geelong City Hall is a civic building located on Gheringhap Street in central Geelong, Victoria. It was originally built for the City of Geelong, which became the City of Greater Geelong in 1993. Construction The land for the City Hall was first acquired by the council in 1854. Two acres (0.8 hectares) in size, it was on the corner of Little Malop and Gheringhap Streets. A design competition was held, with 12 entries being received. The winning entry was submitted by a Melbourne architect, Joseph Reed. The cost was estimated at 34,533 pounds ($69,066), it was decided to only build a single southern wing along Little Malop Street. The foundation stone was laid on April 9, 1855 by the then-Mayor Dr William Baylie. The wing was completed soon after. Expansion The single southern wing remained alone until the early 1900s. Suggestions were made to move the Town Hall to another site, with a referendum being held in 1914 proposing the council move to the former Geelong Grammar building on Moorabool Street. This proposal was defeated, with the original design being completed, opening in June 1917. It remains today, with minor additions at the rear. References Peter Begg (1990).

Church of the Apostles, Launceston

The Church of the Apostles is a Catholic church in Launceston, Tasmania, belonging to the Archdiocese of Hobart. History Earlier churches In 1838 a temporary chapel had been erected in Cameron Street for the local Catholic community, which up to that moment had no fixed place of worship in the city. In the same year the government granted the Catholics a site in Margaret Street, "at the foot of the Cataract Hill", for the construction of a permanent building, a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph. The foundation stone for the St Joseph's church was laid on 19 March 1839 by Rev. Gentleman, and the church was inaugurated in October 1842. Two decades later, St. Joseph's Church began to show signs of decay, and it was decided to replace it with a larger church. Church of the Apostles The plans for the new church were drawn by the Tasmanian architect Henry Hunter, and the foundation stone was laid on 15 September 1864 by Bishop Willson. By October 1866 the nave and two aisles had already been built, and on 7 November the church was solemnly opened for religious purposes by Rev. Murphy, Bishop of Hobart. The church was dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Apostles. Construction of the North section, encompassing the transept, sanctuary and sacristies, began several years later. Bishop Murphy laid the foundation stone on 17 June 1888. By then, Hunter was living in Brisbane and the task was entrusted to architect Alexander North. A foundation stone for the tower was laid in May 1889, but it wasn't finished until a century later. Designed by Melbourne architect Peter Staunton, the bell tower and spire were installed in 1989. The church conserves its original stone high altar. The pulpit, made from blackwood and huon pine, was the work of Timothy Earley. The church's pipe organ, in two flanking columns, was dedicated in 1933. Gallery References External links Media related to Church of the Apostles, Launceston at Wikimedia Commons
