Rosehill Gardens Racecourse

The Rosehill Gardens Racecourse is located in the Sydney suburb of Rosehill, New South Wales, Australia. It is operated by the Australian Turf Club. Rosehill holds horse races for thoroughbred gallopers on a grass surface. It is one of the two premier racecourses in Sydney, the other one being Randwick Racecourse. One of the main events held at Rosehill is the Golden Slipper race for two-year-olds. The track has a circumference of 2,048 metres (6,719 ft) with a home straight of 408 metres (1,339 ft). History John Bennett purchased a large section of Rosehill to construct a racecourse and recreation area. Construction started in 1883 and was completed in April 1885 for a grand total of £12,000. Bennett constructed a private railway line connecting the racecourse to the main line located at Clyde which opened on 17 November 1888. From 1943, Rosehill Gardens Racecourse was managed by the Sydney Turf Club and remained so until 2011. In 2011, the Sydney Turf Club and Australian Jockey Club combined to become the Australian Turf Club. The Australian Turf Club are the current owners and operators of Rosehill Gardens Racecourse. In December 2023, it was announced that the Australian Turf Club and Government of New South Wales were in negotiations to close Rosehill Racecourse by the end of the 2020s with the site to be redeveloped for around 25,000 new homes with a new Sydney Metro West station. Funds would be spent on rebuilding Warwick Farm and Royal Randwick, as well as building a new horse training facility at Horsley Park. The proposal was rejected in May 2025 by a membership vote of 56.1% against compared to 43.9% in favour. Races The following is a list of Group races which are run at Rosehill Racecourse.

Rosemary Island

Rosemary Island is an island in the Dampier Archipelago in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. With Enderby Island it forms Class A Nature Reserve 36915, part of a proposed national park. During World War II an airstrip was established at the north end of the island, where there is also a vehicle track and a well with a distinctive date palm. The well was constructed of concrete with a corrugated steel liner and is now filled with 20th century debris. In 1699 the English navigator William Dampier, in command of the 26-gun warship HMS Roebuck on a mission to explore the coast of New Holland, following the Dutch route to the Indies, passed between Dirk Hartog Island and the Western Australian mainland into what he called Shark's Bay. He then followed the coast northeast, on 21 August 1699 reaching the Dampier Archipelago, which he explored, naming Rosemary Island on 22 August. He continued to Lagrange Bay, just south of what is now Roebuck Bay, before sailing for Timor. In 2016, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia (UWA) excavated ancient rock shelters on Rosemary Island, between 8000 and 9000 years old. They may be the earliest known domestic structures in Australia. In 2017, UWA archaeologists identified engravings left by crews of American whaling ships in the 1850s on Rosemary Island and West Lewis Island. In some cases the engravings were made over the top of ancient Aboriginal rock art. Volunteers have been monitoring the hawksbill sea turtle, a critically endangered species, on the island since 1986. In November 2020, a 60-year old turtle, first tagged in November 1990 and again in 2011, returned to the same location. References

Rosewater Uniting Church

The Rosewater Uniting Church was a Uniting church located in Rosewater, South Australia. The former Methodist church was founded as a Primitive Methodist church in 1878. The foundation stone was laid by the Chairman of the District Council of Rosewater, H. C. E. Muecke on 10 August, and the opening services were held on 24 November 1878. History The first Primitive Methodist Church in the area was built at Rosewater and opened on 4 April 1858. The congregation grew steadily and a larger building was needed by 1877. This was called the "Whittaker Memorial" after the first superintendent of the Adelaide Circuit. This is the Port Road building now used by the Churches of Christ, having been sold to them in 1900. Primitive Methodism had a large following in the area and in October 1877 tenders were called to build a church in Port Adelaide on the corner of Church and Cannon Streets. This church was opened on 27 January 1878. Rosewater was a developing suburb at this time, so a church site was purchased in 1878 and building commenced in August that year. At the laying of the foundation stone, Muecke, chairman of the Council, expressed delight that a place of worship and a Sabbath School was to be established. Under the supervision of the architect, Mr. Campbell, the builder, Walter Russell had the church ready for opening on 24 November 1878. Large crowds attended the opening services. The preacher at the morning and afternoon services was the Rev, J. Goodwin, and the local pastor, Rev. S. Raymond preached in the evening. Next evening was a public tea meeting. As this was the first church in the area it was well supported. The Sunday School was formed the following Sunday, 1 December, with 60 scholars and 10 teachers. Extensions The original building, said to have seated 150 persons, proved to be inadequate and in 1884 the church was enlarged by the addition of a transept, with a school room underneath. Construction started on 22 February 1884, when the foundation stone was laid by Mr. J. Bickers Esq., J.P. and was completed that year. The Sunday School Hall was built in 1920, the foundation stone being laid on 10 April by Mr. Richard Sutton who was superintendent of the Sunday School for over 30 years. The kitchen and adjoining room were added several years later. Renovations When Wesleyan Methodists, Primitive Methodists, and Bible Christians united in 1900, Rosewater Church became a congregation of the Methodist Church of Australasia, at first being part of the Port Adelaide Circuit, and later a member of the separate Alberton Circuit. At the time of the 50th Jubilee in 1928 the church was renovated and redecorated at the cost of over $500. Re-opening and re-dedication services were attended by many past members. Twelve stained glass windows, contributed as memorials of departed church workers, were unveiled. On 22 June 1977 Rosewater Church became a part of the Uniting Church in Australia. The building was sold about 1994. References

Rottnest Island Airport

Rottnest Island Airport (IATA: RTS, ICAO: YRTI) is a small airport for light aircraft, situated about 800 metres (2,600 ft) from the main settlement at Thomson Bay, Rottnest Island and 19 kilometres (12 mi) northwest of Fremantle. Daily air services operate to the island. In the past these have been from Perth Airport, but in recent years have been mainly from Jandakot. The single 1,290-by-18-metre (4,232 ft × 59 ft) runway runs east–west and is situated behind Thomson Bay and south of Government House Lake. Part of the lake was reclaimed for the construction of the airport runway. The Oliver Hill Railway runs south of and parallel to the runway. The airport opened in November 1930 and has been used regularly since then for private and small commercial operations, ferrying workers and holiday makers between Perth and the island. Commercial services At one stage, the 32-kilometre (20 mi) Perth to Rottnest flight was the world's shortest scheduled air route. Woods Airways, which was run by pioneer aviator Jimmy Woods, operated the Perth to Rottnest service from about 1948 with two war-surplus Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Avro Anson aircraft. The service closed in 1961 after concerns about the safety of the ageing aircraft and recurring conflict with the Department of Civil Aviation over minor infringements of regulations. In 14 years of operations, it had made more than 13,000 crossings. Other services continued after Woods Airways departed and at various stages facilities were upgraded. Woods Airways and its owner were considered synonymous with the airport and in 1987 State Tourism Minister Pam Beggs opened the renamed and upgraded Jimmy Woods Air Terminal in recognition. MacRobertson Miller Airlines took over services after Wood's Airways using both Douglas DC-3 and Fokker F27s, until the route became uneconomical. Rottnest Airlines (aka Quokka Airlines) operated the service until 1999 when it was taken over by Frank Stynman who operates a four and six-seater daily service from Jandakot called Rottnest Air-Taxi. Flying time is from 12 to 15 minutes. There are also daily seaplane services to nearby Thompson Bay operated by Swan River Seaplanes. Airlines and destinations Accidents and incidents On 7 January 2025, a Cessna 208 seaplane operated by Swan River Seaplanes crashed soon after takeoff from Thomson Bay about 500 metres (1,600 ft) northeast of the airport to return to South Perth jetty. Of the six passengers and one pilot onboard, the 34-year-old pilot and two passengers (a female Swiss tourist, 65, and a Danish male tourist, 60) were killed. A further three passengers were injured. On 12 November 2006 a light twin engine charter aircraft carrying the pilot and five passengers crashed on the edge of the salt lake adjoining the airport. The plane split in two from the impact and two passengers were hospitalised. All escaped with minor injuries. It is believed that the aircraft suffered an engine failure, and the pilot was not able to maintain control.

Rouse Hill Anglican College

Rouse Hill Anglican College, is an independent, co-educational, day school, located in Rouse Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The school is non-selective and currently caters for over 1,600 students from Pre-K to Year 12. History Plans for the College commenced in the late 1990s. The north-west growth corridor was targeted by the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation as a suitable location for a new low-fee Anglican school. Rapid and sustainable population growth in the area were the factors that led to the decision to establish a school at Rouse Hill. A number of sites were considered for the College on both sides of Windsor Road. The site chosen was the only available location on the southern side of Windsor Road that had access to town water and sewerage services. The site also boasted a good number of well-established trees and even includes a pocket of the Cumberland Plain Forest. The College was founded in 2000 with a class of Kindergarten students based at Arndell Anglican College in Oakville. The appointment of the foundation principal, Peter Fowler, took place in August 2001. At this time, enrolments and staff appointments were able to take place for the commencement of the College on site in February 2002. The design of the original buildings at the Rouse Hill site was conducted by the architectural firm of Noel Bell Ridley Smith. The original concept was the responsibility of Ridley Smith and the detail and oversight of the early building projects had been the responsibility of Craig Stephen. Between 2004 and 2008 the Rouse Hill Anglican Church congregation met for sunday services at the college. Since opening in 2002 the College has seen steady growth. Today the College's grounds include specialist rooms, age-specific libraries, a dual purpose gymnasium-auditorium, dedicated study areas, two ovals, hardcourts, and a beach volleyball court. School governance Rouse Hill Anglican College is owned by Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation, which is a body established by the Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney. Local policy is vested in a College Council which is appointed by the Corporation. Day-to-day management including staffing, enrolments and educational programs are the responsibility of the principal.
