Caroline Springs railway station

Caroline Springs railway station is a PTV regional rail station on the Ararat line. It serves the western suburb of Ravenhall, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Caroline Springs station is a ground level premium station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 28 January 2017. The station was provisionally named as Ravenhall. However, during construction, it was given the name "Caroline Springs". History The Victorian Transport Plan, released in 2008, proposed the progressive upgrade of the Melton line, to support future urban development in the corridor. Construction of the station was to have commenced in 2010, and be completed in 2012. After the 2010 state election, the Baillieu Government put further construction on hold, with an access road to the site having been partially constructed. Construction of a bridge over the railway line had to be completed, to serve the nearby Boral quarry, which otherwise would have been isolated by the new Regional Rail Link line that runs north-south across it. In May 2014, in the run-up to the 2014 state election, the Napthine Government announced that construction would commence in 2014, with a scheduled 2016 completion date. Construction commenced in August 2015. However, in May 2016, the Andrews Government made the decision to "future-proof" the station for the duplication of the Ballarat line, by redesigning the station with a second platform. As a result, the opening of the station was delayed until early 2017. On 28 January 2017, the station was officially opened by the Member for Kororoit, Marlene Kairouz, during a community day, with the first services calling at the station the following day. First announced by the Andrews State Government in 2018, the station is set to be integrated into the metropolitan railway network, as part of the Western Rail Plan. As part of the Regional Rail Revival project, 18 km of track was duplicated between Deer Park West and Melton. It was provided in late 2019, coinciding with the opening of Cobblebank. In 2023, 400 new car parking spaces were delivered at the station. Platforms and services Caroline Springs station has one island platform with two faces. It is served by V/Line Ballarat and Ararat line trains. Transport links CDC Melbourne operates two routes to and from Caroline Springs station: 460 : to Watergardens station 462 : to Watergardens station References External links Rail Geelong gallery
Каролайн-Спрингс (железнодорожная станция)

Каролайн-Спрингс (англ. Caroline Springs) — железнодорожная станция, расположенная на линии Сервистон в штате Виктория (Австралия). Обслуживает Каролайн-Спрингс (западный пригород Мельбурна). История Строительство станции началось в 2010 году и должно было завершиться в 2012 году. Станция строилась неподалёку от Каролайн-Спрингс для обслуживания местного населения. После выборов 2010 года правительство Байе приостановило строительство станции, при этом строительство автомобильной дороги к станции продолжалось. В мае 2014 года, перед выборами 2014 года, правительство Наптина пообещало, что строительство станции начнётся в конце 2014 года и будет завершено в 2016 году. Строительство станции было возобновлено в августе 2015 года. В мае 2016 года правительство Эндрюса приняло решение изменить в конструкции станции тип пассажирской платформы на островной для приёма сразу двух параллельных железнодорожных путей, а не одного пути, как это планировалось изначально. Планируемое окончание строительства было перенесено с конца 2016 на начало 2017 года. Станция была официально открыта членом Законодательного собрания Виктории от округа Короройт Марлен Кайруз 28 января 2017 года. Там же на станции был проведён приуроченный к открытию праздничный день сообщества. Пассажирские услуги станция начала предоставлять на следующий день. В рамках проекта «Возрождение региональных железных дорог» между Дир-Парк-Уэст и Мелтоном было продублировано 18 километров пути. Открытие второго пути состоялось 30 ноября 2019 года, вскоре после открытия станции Кобблбэнк. Примечания
Carosue Dam Gold Mine

The Carosue Dam Gold Mine is a gold mine located south of Laverton, Western Australia. Carosue Dam was previously owned by the now defunct mining company Sons of Gwalia Limited. Purchased in 2005, the mine was placed into care and maintenance by new owners St Barbara in June 2005 and sold to Saracen Mineral Holdings in February 2006. Saracen reopened the mine in early 2010. It is now owned and operated by Northern Star Resources after a merger with Saracen in 2021. History Located within the South Laverton gold field, situated 120 km north east of Kalgoorlie, the processing plant at Carosue Dam was constructed and commissioned in 2000, then owned by Pacmin Mining. In October 2001, it was acquired by Sons of Gwalia. During its five-year operation until June 2005, the mine produced over 700,000 ounces of gold. Sons of Gwalia went into administration on 30 August 2004 and the company's gold mining operations were sold to St Barbara Limited in March 2005 for A$38 million, having been valued by the Sons of Gwalia directors at A$120 million. It was one of four gold mines sold to St Barbara in this deal, the other three being the Marvel Loch Gold Mine, the Tarmoola Gold Mine and the Gwalia Gold Mine. After the collapse of Sons of Gwalia in 2004, the mine continued producing but was placed in care and maintenance by St Barbara three months after its purchase. In October 2005, St Barbara announced the sale of Carosue Dam to Saracen for A$19.4 million in cash and shares. St Barbara acquired a 20% interest in Saracens through this transaction. With the purchase of the mine by Saracen, the new owners developed a two-staged plan to reopen the mine in 2010. After a period of open pit mining, lasting for three to five years, the second stage will also include an underground operation. On 15 June 2009 Saracen announced that the mine would be connected to the Western Power grid through a 90 km power line rather than being supplied by diesel generators on site. This line, scheduled to be completed in late 2010, is estimated to cost between $10 and 15 million but should provide the company with savings in the range of $50 to 100 per ounce of gold produced. In November 2009, Saracen announced that the $7 million construction project at the mine had been finished and plant commissioning had started. Gold production was scheduled to begin in February 2010, with the first gold pour announced on 29 January 2010. In October 2020, a merger between Northern Star Resources and Saracen Metal Holdings was proposed and completed in February 2021 when Saracen was de-listed from the Australian Securities Exchange. As of 2022, the mine operated by Northern Star Resources as an underground and surface operation. A 5MW solar power station was commissioned in June 2022 to reduce the mine's emissions by over 5600 tonnes per year.

Carrum railway station

Carrum station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Carrum, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Carrum station is an elevated premium station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 1 August 1882, with the current station provided in February 2020. History Carrum station opened on 1 August 1882, when the railway line from Mordialloc was extended to Frankston. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the nearby Carrum Swamp, the name believed to be derived from an Indigenous word describing a boomerang. In 1947, interlocked gates were installed at the former Station Street level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station, and was the last installation of interlocking gates in Victoria. In 1977, boom barriers replaced these gates. In 1988, siding "A" and the goods platform was abolished, as well as the connection from siding "B" to the mainline. Approximately 100 metres south of the station was a stabling yard that could hold a number of trains. The yard, which was provided in October 1990, was replaced due to the level crossing removal works, being relocated to Kananook in May 2020. On 20 December 1995, Carrum was upgraded to a premium station. In October 2015, additional shelters were provided, along with an upgrade of the toilets on the former ground level Platform 1. A signal box was located on the former ground level Platform 1, controlling a crossover which allowed trains to terminate and either return or shunt into the stabling yard. In 1976, the interlocked frame at the signal box was abolished, and was replaced by a control panel. On 20 July 2019, the signal box was abolished. During 2019–2020, the station was rebuilt as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. On 17 May 2019, the Station Street level crossing was abolished, and was followed by the closure of the station in the early hours of 6 July of that year, with a small number of enthusiasts witnessing the last services to arrive and depart. The station buildings were demolished shortly afterwards. On 17 February 2020, a new elevated rail line and station opened. Platforms and services Carrum has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Frankston line trains. Transport links Ventura Bus Lines operates four routes via Carrum station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: 708 : to Hampton station 780 : to Frankston station 857 : Chelsea station – Dandenong station 833 : to Frankston station References External links Melway map at street-directory.com.au

Castledare Boys' Home

Castledare Boys' Home was a residential college in Wilson, Western Australia owned and operated by the Congregation of Christian Brothers from March 1929 to 1983 and established for the treatment and training of intellectually handicapped children. A 1929 newspaper article announcing the opening described it as a "training school for sub-normal boys". It opened with ten boys and under the directorship of Brother G. Hyland. The state psychologist, Ethel Stoneham, travelled to Europe and the United States to study similar institutions and was influential in the design of the home. Later it had a more general educational and residential focus, accommodating boys from various backgrounds, including child migrants, wards of the state, and orphans. The site was previously a pastoral property called "Niana" built by the Fleming family between 1906 and 1908, and when taken over occupied 34 hectares (83 acres). It is on the banks of the Canning River and adjoins Canning River Regional Park. A Federation style homestead on the property is listed on the State Heritage Register. The first child migrants from the UK came to Castledare in the late 1930s. This ceased temporarily during World War II. Nuns were introduced in 1949, by which time there were 100 primary school children. The Mother of Perpetual Succour Chapel was constructed in 1957 and blessed and opened by Archbishop Redmond Prendiville. In 1977 the chapel became the parish church of Wilson. Castledare has a popular rideable miniature railway which is open to the public. It has operated since the early 1960s. In 1994, the Parliament of Western Australia was presented a petition with 30,000 signatures demanding an inquiry into the sexual and physical assault that took place in various institutions run by the Christian Brothers, including Castledare. Other institutions included in the petition were Bindoon, Clontarf and Tardun. In 1998 the site was redeveloped as an aged care facility and retirement village called Castledare Retirement Village and operated by Catholic Homes Incorporated. References

Cat Island (Tasmania)

The Cat Island, part of the Babel Group within the Furneaux Group, is a 39-hectare (96-acre) unpopulated granite island, located in Bass Strait, lying off the east coast of Flinders Island, Tasmania, south of Victoria, in south-eastern Australia. Cat Island is part of the Babel Island Group Important Bird Area. Fauna Seabirds and waders recorded as breeding on the island include little penguin, short-tailed shearwater, silver gull, Pacific gull, crested tern, sooty oystercatcher, pied oystercatcher and Australasian gannet. Resident reptiles include White's skink and tiger snake. The rakali has also been recorded on the island. The historically important breeding colony of Australasian gannets, with an estimated 5,000-10,000 birds at the beginning of the 20th century, declined to extinction by the mid-1980s as a result of, at first, human intrusion, followed by fires, disturbance and, finally, predation by white-bellied sea-eagles.
