Wild Life Sydney

Wild Life Sydney Zoo (formerly Sydney Wildlife World) is a wildlife park in the Darling Harbour precinct, on the western edge of the Sydney central business district, Australia. Opened in September 2006, the zoo is located adjacent to a leisure and retail precinct that includes the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and Madame Tussauds Sydney. History In May 2006, Sydney Aquarium announced plans to expand the existing aquarium site, in order to incorporate a wildlife park. Following this announcement, and after the acquisition of the tourist attractions at Sydney Tower and of Manly Oceanarium, Sydney Aquarium changed its name to Sydney Attractions Group. Village Roadshow purchased Sydney Attractions Group in late 2007. UK attractions group Merlin Entertainments bought Sydney Wildlife World as part of its acquisition of Village Roadshow assets in March 2011. The park changed its name to Wild Life Sydney and re-opened on 13 September 2011. The attraction was named the best family-focused tourism at The Australian's 2007 Travel and Tourism Awards. Design Construction began in November 2004 on the site, and was completed in August 2006. Wild Life Sydney is unusual for a zoo or wildlife park in that the public areas are almost entirely enclosed and air-conditioned. The A$52 million development features a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) walkway which snakes through 7,000 square metres (75,000 sq ft) of enclosures. The upper level exhibits are open-air, enclosed only by a large stainless steel mesh roof structure supported by curved beams, which were designed to look like the ribs of the rainbow serpent of Aboriginal myth when viewed from above. This open-air feature has enabled the exhibits to be landscaped naturally with live plants, including full-sized trees. The largest exhibit is the 800-square-metre (8,600 sq ft) semi-arid habitat of kangaroo walkabout, featuring 250 tonnes (280 short tons) of red sand trucked in from central Australia and full-sized bottle trees. This habitat houses Kangaroo Island kangaroos, echidnas, a quokka and koalas. Exhibits Wild Life Sydney Zoo is divided into ten zones, containing the following exhibits: Tricky Tongues and Treehouse Devil's Den Outback Shack Wallaby Cliffs Daintree Rainforest Kangaroo Walkabout Crocodile Billabong Platypus Pool Platypus Night Fall Koala Rooftop (including Koala Rooftop Cafe Experiences Wild Life Sydney offers a Koala Photo experience where guests can get close to the Koalas and take a quality photo with them.

Bahnhof Canberra

Der Bahnhof Canberra befindet sich im Stadtteil Kingston der australischen Hauptstadt Canberra. Er ist Endstation der Züge der Bahngesellschaft CountryLink von und nach Sydney. Unmittelbar nach der Gründung von Canberra im Jahr 1913 begannen die Bauarbeiten an einer neuen Bahnverbindung zwischen Queanbeyan und der zukünftigen Hauptstadt. Die Strecke wurde im Auftrag der australischen Bundesregierung vom Ministerium für öffentliche Arbeiten des Staates New South Wales errichtet und am 25. Mai 1914 eröffnet, zunächst nur für den Güterverkehr. Der ursprüngliche Überbauungsplan von Walter Burley Griffin sah eine Eisenbahnverbindung in den Stadtteil City Centre, dem eigentlichen Stadtzentrum, vor. Die Bauarbeiten begannen im Dezember 1920 unter der Leitung der Eisenbahnkommission von New South Wales. Die Strecke wurde am 15. Juni 1921 eröffnet. Sie zweigte kurz vor dem heutigen Bahnhof ab, überquerte den Molonglo River und endete am heutigen Garema Place. Etwas weiter nördlich, im Stadtteil Braddon, befand sich ein kleiner Güterbahnhof. Im Juli 1922 wurde die temporäre Holzbrücke bei einer Überschwemmung des Molonglo River zerstört. Die Brücke ist nie wieder instand gestellt worden und die Strecke endet seit dem 21. April 1924 am heutigen Standort. Als 1927 Canberra den Status der Hauptstadt Australiens erhielt, wurde das Zugangebot mit der Einführung von Schlafwagenzügen, die in Goulburn einen Anschluss an die Züge nach Melbourne herstellten, merklich verbessert. 1966 ersetzte man das ursprüngliche Bahnhofsgebäude durch einen Neubau.

Williams Landing railway station

Williams Landing station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Werribee line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the western suburb of Williams Landing, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Williams Landing station is a ground level premium station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 28 April 2013. The Western standard gauge line passes to the north of Platform 1. History In 2008, the State Government announced the station in the Victorian Transport Plan. Construction was originally intended to commence during 2010, but eventually started in September 2011, with the station opening on 28 April 2013. Construction of the station required the slewing of the existing southern track to make room for the new island platform. The cost of the station in 2011 was budgeted at $86 million for the station and $24 million for associated road works, including a road overpass over the line. The cost was criticised by the Public Transport Users Association as being too high. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the nearby RAAF Williams base, itself named after Sir Richard Williams, an RAAF Chief of Air Force, and the Director General of Civil Aviation between 1946 and 1955. In late 2025, the State Government announced that a new elevator would be built on the Wallace Avenue side of the station overpass to improve passenger accessibility, with other minor upgrades around the station. Platforms and services Williams Landing has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Werribee line trains. Current From Late 2026 Transport links CDC Melbourne operates seven bus routes to and from Williams Landing station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: 150 : to Tarneit station 151 : to Tarneit station 152 : to Tarneit station 153 : to Werribee station 494 : to Point Cook South 495 : to Point Cook South 497 : to Saltwater Coast Estate (Point Cook) Transit Systems Victoria operates one bus route to and from Williams Landing station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: Night Bus 949 : to Altona Meadows (Saturday and Sunday mornings only) Gallery References External links Media related to Williams Landing railway station at Wikimedia Commons

Williamstown Dockyard

Williamstown Dockyard was one of Australia's principal ship building yards at Williamstown, Victoria, Australia. The Colony of Victoria decided to construct a large slipway at Williamstown to provide ship repair facilities in 1856 and the Government Patent Slip was opened in 1858. Slip Pier was built in 1858 and was used in conjunction with the Government Patent Slip. The Slip Pier was later known as the Lady Loch Jetty after the similarly named Government steamer. The pier and Government Patent Slipway were demolished in 1919. In 1858, the Colony of Victoria decided to build a graving dock and dockyard. Construction commenced in 1868, and was completed in February 1874. The Alfred Graving Dock, named after Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, was built at a cost of £300,000. The graving dock was 143 m (469 ft) in length, 24 m (79 ft) wide, 8 m (26 ft) deep. The dock was designed by William Wardell for the Public Works Department (Victoria), and it was the largest structure of its type in the southern hemisphere. The Dockyard Pier, originally known as Dock Pier was constructed in 1874 for use with vessels engaged in pre/post docking in the Alfred Graving Dock. In the 1870s, the railway department contracted for the construction of a new pier to meet increased demand imposed by wool and later grain handling. When completed in 1878, it was initially referred to as the Western Pier, but was later renamed New Railway Pier. It was rebuilt in 1915 and 1927 and was renamed Nelson Pier in 1923. The pier and surrounding land was purchased by the Commonwealth in 1967, and use of the facility declined. Demolition work began in 1979 due to its poor condition. Nelsons Pier West was constructed in 1978 to replace the nearby Nelson Pier. It provided two cranes and two berths for the refitting and outfitting of warships. Reid St Pier was constructed for the Melbourne Harbour Trust for exclusive use with its own floating plant in September 1891. It was later used to house the tug fleet, and was rebuilt in 1949. In 1913, the dockyard was known as the State Shipbuilding Yard and was requisitioned in 1918 by the Commonwealth. Ownership passed to the Melbourne Harbor Trust in 1924 and during World War II it was requisitioned by the Commonwealth in 1942 and was known as HM Naval Dockyard Williamstown, or Williamstown Naval Dockyard. In 1987 it passed into private control of Tenix Defence and which was subsequently acquired by BAE Systems Australia.

Уильямстаунская верфь

Уильямстаунская верфь — одна из важнейших верфей Австралии, расположенная в Уильямстауне, шт. Виктория. В 1856 году колония Виктория решила построить в Уильямстауне большой стапель для ремонта судов, а в 1858 году была открыт Правительственный судоподъёмный эллинг (Government Patent Slip). В том же году был построен Стапельный пирс (Slip Pier), который использовался вместе с Правительственным судоподъёмным эллингом. Стапельный пирс позже стал известен как Причал Леди Лох (Lady Loch Jetty) в честь одноимённого правительственного парохода. Пирс и судоподъёмный эллинг были снесены в 1919 году. В 1858 году колония Виктория решила построить сухой док и верфь. Строительство началось в 1868 году и было завершено в феврале 1874 года. Сухой док, получивший название «Сухой док Альфреда» в честь Альфреда, герцога Эдинбургского, стоил 300 тыс. фунтов стерлингов. Его длина составляла 143 м, ширина — 24 м, глубина — 8 м. Док был спроектирован Уильямом Уорделлом для Департамента общественных работ шт. Виктория и был самым большим сооружением такого типа в южном полушарии. Пирс верфи (Dockyard Pier), первоначально известный как Пирс дока (Dock Pier), был построен в 1874 году для стоянки судов до и после постановки в Док Альфреда. В 1870-х годах железнодорожный департамент заключил контракт на строительство новой пристани, чтобы удовлетворить возросший спрос на шерсть, а затем на перевалку зерна. Когда он был завершен в 1878 году, он первоначально назывался Западным пирсом (Western Pier), но позже был переименован в Новый железнодорожный пирс (New Railway Pier). Он был перестроен в 1915 и 1927 годах, а в 1923 году переименован в Пирс Нельсона (Nelson Pier). Пирс и прилегающие земли были в 1967 году куплены Содружеством, и использование объекта сократилось. Работы по сносу начались в 1979 году из-за плохого состояния. Западный пирс Нельсона (Nelsons Pier West) был построен в 1978 году, чтобы заменить близлежащий пирс Нельсона. Он предоставил два крана и два причала для переоборудования боевых кораблей. Reid St Pier был построен для Мельбурнской гавани для исключительного использования с собственным плавучим заводом в сентябре 1891 года. Позже он использовался для размещения буксирного флота и был перестроен в 1949 году. В 1913 году верфь была известна как Государственная судостроительная верфь (State Shipbuilding Yard), а в 1918 году была реквизирована Содружеством. Право собственности в 1924 году перешло к Фонду Мельбурнской Гавани (Melbourne Harbour Trust), а во время Второй мировой войны в 1942 году она была реквизирована Содружеством и известна как Вильямстаунская военно-морская верфь Её Величества (HM Naval Dockyard Williamstown) или просто Вильямстаунская военно-морская верфь (Williamstown Naval Dockyard). В 1987 году верфь перешла под частный контроль компании Tenix Defense, которая впоследствии была приобретена BAE Systems Australia.

Willinda Park

Willinda Park, Greensborough is located at the end of Nell Street, Greensborough and is maintained by the City of Banyule and the Willinda Park Committee of Management. Willinda Park has a polyurethane athletic track and is the home of Diamond Valley Little Athletics Centre, Diamond Valley Athletic Club and Ivanhoe Harriers What is now Willinda Park was once market gardens owned by William and Beatrice Linda Holmes. Hence how the name Willinda was derived. In 1963 and following William's death the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works compulsorily acquired the majority of the Holmes property; a little over 9 acres (36,000 m2) for drainage and sewerage purposes for the sum of 6927 pounds. As was common practice in these times the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works made such land available to local councils as reserves, often for recreation purposes. In April 1967, Linda Holmes voluntarily transferred a further small triangular section of land approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) x 80 feet (24 m) x 89 feet (27 m) in size to the Shire of Diamond Valley for $650 to assist in accessing the larger portion of land. This smaller section of land is still easily identifiable today as it forms part of the entrance to the park giving the property on the left (21 Talbot Street) with the red brick wall an angular appearance. When the Diamond Valley Little Athletics Centre formed in 1967 work began in earnest to find a suitable home. While the view was held that any existing reserve in the shire would be suitable, A K Lines Reserve in Watsonia sat on the top of the list. Prior to the centres first competition on 30 September 1967, Willinda Park which until that point in time had not been allocated to any sporting club was offered as a home by the Shire of Diamond Valley with Linda Holmes blessing. Initially the Park was little more than a paddock; with only a 300-metre athletic track being able to be accommodated. Over the ensuing decades vast improvements have been made to the track surface and the adjoining facilities. Greensborough Soccer Club played matches for men, women and boys here until 1986. Apart from three seasons when track improvement work was being undertaken; 1973/74 when competition was held at A K Lines Reserve, Watsonia. 1999/2000 and 2018/2019 when competition was held at Meadowglen International Athletic Stadium at Epping, athletic competition has been held at Willinda Park. Today Willinda Park is a dedicated state of the art athletic facility with an international standard surface and lighting enabling twilight competitions to be held. Willinda Park Gallery Notes

Wilmot Dam

The Wilmot Dam is a concrete-faced rock-fill embankment dam across the Wilmot River, located near Wilmot, in northern Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1970, the resultant reservoir, Lake Gairdner, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the adjacent Wilmot Power Station, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station. The dam, its reservoir, and the power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania. Dam and reservoir overview The concrete-face rockfill dam wall is 34 metres (112 ft) high and 138 metres (453 ft) long. When full, Lake Gairdner has capacity of 8,820 megalitres (7,150 acre⋅ft) and covers 970 hectares (2,400 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 158 square kilometres (61 sq mi). The uncontrolled spillway has a flow capacity of 1,104 cubic metres per second (39,000 cu ft/s). In 2013, Hydro Tasmania reported that, downstream of the dam wall, reduced or no flows in the Wilmot River were attributed to both the damming of the river and the diversion of water into the Forth River catchment. Hydroelectric power station The Wilmot Power Station is part of the Mersey–Forth hydro scheme that comprises seven run-of-river hydroelectric power stations and one mini-hydro power station. The Wilmot Power Station is the fifth station in the scheme, located above-ground on the foreshore of Lake Cethana, formed via the Cethana Dam. Water stored at Lake Gairdner is transferred east approximately 4.5 km (2.8 mi) to the station via a tunnel and a surface penstock. Water is then discharged from the station into Lake Cethana. The power station was commissioned in 1971 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS). It has one turbine, with a generating capacity of 32 megawatts (43,000 hp) of electricity. The station output, estimated to be 137 gigawatt-hours (490 TJ) annually, is fed to TasNetworks' transmission grid via an 11 kV/220 kV Siemens generator transformer to the outdoor switchyard.
