Franklin House (Launceston)

Franklin House in Franklin Village, near Launceston, Tasmania, is a historic house that is preserved by Tasmania's National Trust and is open to the public. Built in 1838 for Britton Jones, it later became a school for boys. History It is a Georgian style house that was built in 1838 for former convict Britton Jones, a Launceston brewer and innkeeper. It was later a school for boys, between 1842 and 1866 when leased to schoolmaster William Keeler Hawkes. The house and gardens are located in Youngtown, Tasmania, and are available for public tours. In 1960 Franklin House was the first heritage property taken over by the National Trust in Tasmania. Review of haunting claims In early 2013 the Tas Ghost Hunting society undertook an investigation into possible paranormal activity after staff members reported unusual experiences while working there. They visited twice and set up equipment in a number of rooms. In a sitting room they reportedly found higher levels of energy than normal using an electromagnetic sensor. In an upstairs bedroom they asked several times the question "'What is your name?'" Mr. Hull a member of the Tas Ghost Hunting society said "'It came back with the answer, Will'". In response, members of the Launceston Skeptics group have challenged the Tas Ghost Hunting society's results by saying "'It has to be good, if it's an extraordinary claim, that is that there are ghosts there it needs very solid evidence'". According to skeptic member Jin-Oh Choi, '"We want to make sure the way they're recording the information is actually correct.'" According to investigator Benjamin Radford "most ghost hunting groups... make many methodological mistakes." In his article for Skeptical Inquirer Radford concludes that ghost hunters should care about doing a truly scientific investigation: "I believe that if ghosts exist, they are important and deserve to be taken seriously. Most of the efforts to investigate ghosts so far have been badly flawed and unscientific --- and, not surprisingly, fruitless." Notes External links Franklin House website

Greenmount-Nationalpark

i2i3i6 Der Greenmount-Nationalpark (englisch Greenmount National Park) ist ein nur 56 Hektar großer Nationalpark 22 Kilometer östlich von Perth in Western Australia, Australien. Er befindet sich in den Greenmount Hills genannten Hügeln in der Nähe des gleichnamigen Ortes Greenmount. Wie seine Nachbarn, der John-Forrest- und der Gooseberry-Hill-Nationalpark, liegt er an der Darling Scarp, einer 1000 Kilometer langen Abbruchkante, die in Nord-Süd-Richtung durch Western Australia verläuft. Vom Greenmount-Nationalpark hat man einen guten Ausblick auf die westlich gelegene Ebene, die Swan Coastal Plain. Die Vegetation im Park besteht hauptsächlich aus Marri-, Jarrah- und Wandoowald.

Greenmount National Park

Greenmount National Park is a national park in the locality of Greenmount, Western Australia, 22 kilometres (14 mi) east of Perth. It is one of the smaller national parks along the Darling Scarp and is a component of the Darling Range Regional Park. Due to its proximity to John Forrest National Park, which used to be known as Greenmount National Park until 1928, and relationship to subsequent reserves to the south it is a vital scarp wildlife corridor. Bus tours were available from Perth in 1933 with Hill's Bus Tours offering passengers a tour around the park on Sundays in September. Beam Transport Ltd. offered a similar service through the Park to Mundaring Weir in 1937. As a feature adjacent to the Helena River Valley it has significance in Aboriginal folklore, and also featured very early on in early European settler's diaries. Mountain Quarry is one of several blue stone quarries located within the park, popular with rock climbers and walkers. Vehicle access to the quarry site is restricted; however a car-park and picnic facilities including toilets are within walking distance of the main site, which is completely accessible on foot. There are several panels containing historical information about the site spread around as part of the popular Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, which runs close to the quarry. The Boya/Koongamia leg of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, also known as the Bridle Trail, curves around the south-western edge of the park, crossing through the Mountain Quarry car-park and picnic area. In the early 2000s significant bushfire damage occurred on the southern slopes of this park. Large fire-breaks bisect the park, serving as popular walking routes among locals. The western and northern slopes, visible from Great Eastern Highway, have extensive Watsonia infestations. In late 2005, the government authority in charge of the national park was taking steps to prevent vehicular access along the top of the ridge to the lookout due to vandalism and issues with residents adjacent to the park. The park is situated along the side of Greenmount Hill and has views over the Swan Coastal Plain below and Perth to the west. The dominant vegetation in the park is eucalypts such as marri and wandoo along with an array of wild flowers and heathland along the northern slopes. The hill is steep and contain several breakaways and rocky outcrops. See also Protected areas of Western Australia References Further reading

Fred Hollows Reserve

The Fred Hollows Reserve is a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) nature reserve in Randwick, the eastern suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The reserve is situated in a natural area in what was formerly known as Glebe Gully and is the result of conservation efforts by the Randwick City Council, since 1993, in a hilly part of the Coogee Basin. The park follows a gully from Alison Road to Clovelly Road. The gully faces south away from the sun, forming a closed canopy and a relatively fire-free habitat, which contrasts with the nearby urban area and busy traffic. History The native life in the gully deteriorated in the 1970s from neglect and the deposition of urban refuse. Weeding and replanting has been neglected over the last decade and much of the native flora and fauna has disappeared. In 1993, the reserve was named in honour of Fred Hollows, an ophthalmologist who lived in the area. Hollows is renowned for restoring the sight of thousands of people in Australia and overseas. Flora and fauna Flora includes various ferns such as false bracken, maidenhair fern, binung and gristle fern as well as grasses and Banksias. Other noteworthy species include coachwood, lillypilly, magenta cherry, scentless rosewood, callicoma, muttonwood, five-leaved water vine, bleeding heart and the locally scarce corkwood and Sydney peppermint. Lizards, frogs, and a wide variety of birds are known to live in the gorge. Some of the local inhabitants include glebe gully skinks, rainbow lorikeet, welcome swallow, kookaburra, pied currawong, sulphur-crested cockatoo, magpie and many others. Access Randwick Council built a boardwalk and footbridge along and across the creek, so it is now a ten-minute walk from Alison Road to Bligh Place. The entrance to the park is 150 metres west of Carrington Road, on the north side of Alison Road. See also Parks in Sydney References External links

Epworth Freemasons

Established in 1937, Epworth Freemasons (formerly the Freemasons Hospital), located at 166 Clarendon St in East Melbourne, was a practical expression of the work of Freemasonry in the Victorian community. It is now run by Epworth Healthcare. It is a non-government, not-for-profit, charitable institution providing a range of inpatient and ambulatory care services including: Women's and related health services including maternity, women's health and breast clinics, breast and gynaecological surgery and IVF. Surgical services including general surgery, urology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, ophthalmology and ENT. Comprehensive cancer care covering diagnosis, surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In October 2006 the hospital was purchased by ING Real Estate, which immediately leased the hospital to Epworth Healthcare. One immediate effect was the merging of two emergency departments, the previous Freemason's Emergency was closed while Epworth Richmond's still operates. The now Epworth Freemasons Hospital still operates as a hospital. The site is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. History The Freemasons Hospital was established in 1937, as an initiative of Victoria's Freemasons in the 1930s to accommodate middle-class fee paying patients. The original five-level reinforced concrete building was designed by architects, Stephenson and Meldrum (later Stephenson and Turner), in a Functionalist Modern style with its bold horizontal balconies, contrasting vertical service tower and minimal decoration. The white rendered exterior was trimmed with blue tiles and horizontal tubular steel balustrades. Between 1956 and 1958 the hospital was substantially extended by architects, Meldrum and Noad, to a design sympathetic to the original by continuing the sweeping balconies. Further wings to the east were added in 1968 and again in 1977 with the front entrance altered. The hospital is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria.

Falk & Company Warehouse

Customs House and former Falk & Company Warehouse is an historic three-storey brick building located in Fremantle, Western Australia. The building has a number of prominent ornate façades on Phillimore Street between Henry and Pakenham Streets. It houses the Fremantle regional office of the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, Centrelink, and a number of other Australian Government offices. History The Customs House was built in 1985 on the site of a number of Victorian warehouses and offices, with only the facades of these being retained and the entire interior of the site being demolished and rebuilt. The most prominent of these older buildings, and the one whose façade now serves as the main entrance to the Customs House, was that of P. Faulk and Co. P. Falk and Co. This warehouse was built in 1888 on land that had recently become available as a result of the reclamation of the bank of the Swan River for the Fremantle railway line. It was extended by Frederick William Burwell in 1896, and again in 1903; these additions were the bulk of the extant corner façade on the corner of Henry and Philimore streets. In September 1895 there was a fire in the building, but due to the quick response of the fire brigade and a special regulating firehose nozzle invented and built by the Fremantle fire superintendent (JC Frazer), only £200 damage was done. The building was owned by James Lilly from about 1909 until World War II, when the United States Navy used it as a storage location. Other buildings Other 19th century buildings were mostly demolished to make way for the modern Customs House, such as Tolley and Co. wine merchants. References
Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour

Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour is a marina in Fremantle, Western Australia adjacent to the more recently constructed Challenger Harbour. It provides large sheltered mooring areas and wharf space for vessels up to 60 metres (200 ft), refuelling facilities and support services to the Fremantle fishing industry. History The harbour was built in 1919 when a 300-metre (980 ft) breakwater was constructed from Anglesea Point at the southern end of Bathers Beach, to provide an anchorage for fishing vessels. South Jetty was immediately adjacent and included a fish market, which was removed in 1929. A southern breakwater was constructed in 1962 and land reclaimed to house fishing companies and service industries. Between 1969 and 1972, up to 120 fishing boats were housed in the harbour and in 1982 construction of a boat lifting facility commenced. Tourism Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour is now surrounded by a well established tourism precinct and over a dozen restaurants and a brewery, Little Creatures Brewery, are immediately adjacent. Blessing of the Fleet Many of the fishing enterprises housed at Fremantle are descended from the Italian towns of Molfetta on the Adriatic Sea, and Capo d'Orlando in Sicily. Each year, a ceremony known as the Blessing of the Fleet occurs in the harbour where a procession of the fishermen and their families walk through the streets of Fremantle to the harbour carrying two statues.

Fremantle Grammar School

Fremantle Grammar School is a defunct school and heritage-listed building in Fremantle, Western Australia. Architecture The building stands at 200 High Street, opposite Monument Hill. It was built by Melbourne architect Charles Inksep in the Gothic Revival style, from limestone and corrugated asbestos. History The school was established as a public school by the Anglican church in 1885. Henry Briggs was sent from England to help establish it, and was its head-master until 1897. The grammar school closed in 1905 and that was put down to the headmaster's interest in politics. In the 1920s, the building became a short-lived girls' school named Girton College, and in 1945 was bought by the Reorganised Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (now known as Community of Christ) for use as a place of worship until 1988. It is currently in private ownership, and the condition of the building has been allowed to decline. There are large cracks in some of the walls and in January 2011, the owner was fined A$2,574 for removing the bell tower.
