Beta Hunt Mine

The Beta Hunt Mine is a nickel and gold mine near Kambalda in Western Australia. It is owned and operated by Canadian company Karora Resources through a subsidiary named Salt Lake Mining Pty Ltd. The mining tenement is held by Gold Fields and leased to Salt Lake Mining. The mine is licensed to extract up to 480,000 kilolitres (17,000,000 cu ft) of water and discharge it into Lake Lefroy to maintain access to the mineral resources. History The Beta Hunt Mine was originally a nickel mine, exploiting an ore body discovered in 1966. The mine opened in 1973 and produced 153,500 tonnes of nickel metal for WMC Resources by 1998. The mine was sold to Gold Fields in 2001. Reliance Mining acquired the nickel rights in 2003 and was acquired by Consolidated Minerals in 2005. The mine was placed into care and maintenance in 2008. It was acquired by Salt Lake Mining in 2013 after that company also secured gold mining rights. It resumed producing nickel in 2014 and started producing gold in November 2015. In September 2018, a large deposit of gold-bearing quartz rock was discovered in the mine during routine blasting, 500 metres (1,600 ft) underground. Nickel production is scheduled to resume at the mine from 2022, with Karora Resources aiming to produce up to 550 tonnes of nickel during the year. Nickel had last been produced at the mine in 2018, when 300 tonnes were mined. No nickel production was announced for 2022, also some mining for the commodity had taken place, but a guidance for 2023 for an intended nickel production of between 450 and 550 tonnes was announced in March 2023.

Alcaston House

Alcaston House, located on the corner of Melbourne's Collins and Spring St, rises seven levels over a basement, and is one Melbourne's first mixed-use Art Deco buildings. It was designed by the firm of architects, A. and K. Henderson and erected by T Donald and Co. in 1929-30. The Renaissance Revival complex was erected for the trustees of Dr EM James, whose home previously occupied the land. Located at 2 Collins St, Melbourne; it is an early example of multi-storey residential accommodation in the city at a time when the post-war preference for flat living in Europe and the USA was becoming manifest in Australia. The art deco building is directly opposite the Old Treasury Building and Victoria's Parliament Building. Historical significance Alcaston House is of historical significance as a reminder of the professional character of the top end of Collins Street in the early decades of this century, a character that persists today, due in no small part to Alcaston House and its professional rooms. Designed to house medicos' suites, the entrance was wheel-chair accessible via gentle ramp from street level, and piped heating was specially 'washed'. Alcaston House has played an important role in the history of the medical profession in Melbourne. Alcaston House is of architectural significance for its combination of Renaissance Revival motifs within an essentially "modern" framework and for the way in which its design expresses its mixed uses. The use of detailing such as the smooth rustication and round-headed windows and the colour of the main structure complement the other buildings in this important precinct, especially the Old Treasury. A & K Henderson were responsible for, amongst other things, the T&G Building, the first major building in Melbourne to reach the 132-foot height limit and raise a tower above it as an architectural feature. In addition to its urbane facade, it was the roof garden of Alcaston House that received much attention on the building's completion. The roof had pergolas over which vines grew. Elsewhere, planters of geraniums and zinnias were used to decorate the roof garden. stacks. The timber pergolas that shaded the roof garden and the urns on the parapet have since been removed. Aesthetic significance Collins Street East has aesthetic significance for: the distinctive, pre 1956 streetscapes; the views to the landmark Town Hall tower and church spires; the ambience created within the footpath zone by the aged arching street trees, discrete building entrances, and uncluttered shop fronts; and the terminal view to the Old Treasury building. The building was constructed during the inter-war period and contains offices and converted dwellings on the upper floors. Previous inhabitants Basil Burdett (1897-1942), art critic, Violet Cynthia Reed Nolan (1908–1976), art critic and gallerist, Maie Casey aviator, wife of parliamentarian Richard Casey; and Honorary Consul to Monaco Andrew Cannon. Current inhabitants Today its strata units are occupied by a variety of health professionals (general surgery, endocrinology, neurology, dentistry), law firms and permanent residents. References

Lake-Eildon-Nationalpark

i2i3i6 Der Lake-Eildon-Nationalpark ist ein Nationalpark im Zentrum des australischen Bundesstaates Victoria, 111 km nordöstlich von Melbourne. Der 277,5 km² große Park liegt am Südufer des Lake Eildon. Geschichte In den 1950er-Jahren kaufte die Staatsregierung von Victoria Bauernland entlang des Goulburn River und des Delatite River um einen Stausee für die Bewässerung des unteren Goulburn-Tales zu schaffen. Ein Gebiet von 26,7 km², das nicht vom Stausee überflutet wurde, wurde 1957 zum Fraser-Nationalpark erklärt. Ein weiteres Staatswaldgebiet von 240 km² an den Ufern des Sees wurde 1980 zum Eildon State Park gemacht, um den Wassereinzugsbereich des Lake Eildon schützen zu können. 1997 wurden beide Gebiete zum Lake-Eildon-Nationalpark zusammengefasst. Kulturelle Aspekte Im Tal des Goulburn River lebten Hunderte von Angehörigen der Taungaurung, eines Aboriginesstammes. Kulturstätten, die ihnen gehörten, verschwanden im Stausee. Im Park finden sich eine Reihe von Stollen aus der Zeit des victorianischen Goldrausches der 1860er-Jahre. Auch Überreste aus der vorhergehenden Zeit der Schafzüchter sind noch vorhanden. Geologie Der Park ist gebirgig, seine Gipfel erreichen bis zu 900 m. Auch findet sich der Rand der Cerberean Caldera, eines riesigen, runden Kraters eines alten Vulkans, der vor 380 Mio. Jahren aktiv war. Die Caldera sieht man an einigen Stellen als Granitspitzen. Flora und Fauna Die Vegetation im Park ist generell eher trocken. Sei besteht aus Eukalyptuswald mit Flecken von Auwald und einigen Gebieten mit Bergwald. Die wichtigsten dort vorkommenden Eukalyptusarten sind Stringybark, Peppermint, Red Box und Candlebark. In den höher gelegenen Wäldern findet man auch Mountain Ash und Blue Gum. Der Park beherbergt 34 einheimische Säugetierarten, 89 einheimische Vogelarten, 17 Reptilienarten, 10 Amphibienarten und drei Süßwasserfischarten. Vom Aussterben bedroht sind der Pinselschwanzbeutler und gefleckte Baumfrosch. An den Campingplätzen des Parks findet man häufig das östliche graue Riesenkänguru. Besucher Die meisten Besucher betreiben Wassersport am Lake Eildon, wie z. B. Motorboot fahren oder Wasserski laufen. Die Jagd auf Rehe ist während der Jagdsaison in einigen Teilen des Parks gestattet. Weblinks Lake Eildon National Park. Parks Victoria Einzelnachweise

Лейк-Эйлдон

Лейк-Эйлдон (англ. Lake Eildon National Park) — национальный парк, расположенный в регионе Сентрал-Хайлендс Виктории в Австралии, основанный в 1997 году. Площадь парка составляет 27 750 га. Расположен в 111 км к северо-востоку от Мельбурна и примыкает к берегам озера Эйлдон. История В долине реки Гоулберн проживали несколько сотен членов племени австралийских аборигенов, известного как народ таунгуронг. Культурные объекты, принадлежащие народу, были затоплены с образованием озера Эйлдон. В парке есть несколько шахт, связанных с золотой лихорадкой Виктории 1860-х годов. В парке также есть реликвии раннего сельскохозяйственного использования. В 1950-х годах правительство Виктории приобрело сельскохозяйственные угодья вдоль рек Гоулберн и Делатит для строительства озера Эйлдон, чтобы обеспечить ирригацию долины Гоулберна. Незатопленная территория площадью 2670 га была объявлена национальным парком Фрейзер в 1957 году. Площадь государственного леса площадью 24 тыс. га, прилегающего к озеру, была зарезервирована как государственный парк Эйлдон в 1980 году для защиты водосбора озера Эйлдон. В 1997 году два парка были объединены в национальный парк Лейк-Эйлдон. Геология Парк гористый, с вершинами до 900 м и включает в себя край Церберийской кальдеры, огромного округлого вулкана диаметром около 27 км, который был активен около 380 млн лет назад. Кальдера видна в нескольких местах в виде обнажений гранита. Считается, что Церберийская кальдера подверглась суперизвержению 374 млн лет назад, что, в свою очередь, способствовало девонскому вымиранию. Флора и фауна Растительность парка, как правило, представляет собой сухой открытый эвкалиптовый лес с участками прибрежных и горных лесов. Основными видами эвкалипта являются такие виды, как эвкалипт обильноцветковый и эвкалипт красноватый и других, с участками эвкалипта царственного и эвкалипта шаровидного. Известная местная фауна парка включает 34 вида млекопитающих, 89 птиц, 17 рептилий, 10 амфибий и трех пресноводных рыб. Зарегистрированная в парке фауна, находящаяся под угрозой исчезновения, включает большую сумчатую крысу и древесную лягушку Ranoidea spenceri. Восточные серые кенгуру очень распространены в кемпингах парка. Туризм Большинство туристов используют парк в качестве базы для занятий водными видами спорта на озере Эйлдон, таких как катание на моторных лодках и водных лыжах. В некоторых частях парка в сезон разрешена охота на оленя. Галерея Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт парка (англ.)
Havannah Island

Havannah Island is one of the islands in the Palm Island group. The nearest island is Great Palm Island, after which the group is named. Havannah Island is the southernmost island in the group, and uninhabited. Along with nine of the other islands within the Palm Islands group, it falls under the local government area of the Aboriginal Shire of Palm Island. The island was gazetted as an Aboriginal reserve on 20 September 1941, along with neighbouring small islands, with the intention of extending Palm Island Aboriginal Settlement, but it was never used as such. Havannah island has only one beach landing, which is typical of the smaller islands of the Palm Group. These beaches are located in the northwestern end of the islands and afford a safe anchorage in calm conditions. There is no naturally occurring fresh water on Havannah, Fly or Brisk Islands. The nearest medical facility to Havannah is on Great Palm Island, along with police and fuel. See also List of islands of Queensland References
