Snapper Point Power Station

The Snapper Point Power Station is a gas turbine power station situated at Outer Harbor, South Australia, adjacent to the older Pelican Point Power Station. Snapper Point Power Station is owned by Nexif Energy and is a peaking power plant. In addition to general supply Nexif use it to provide firm reliability for electricity supply contracts from Nexif's Lincoln Gap Wind Farm. It uses the five GE TM2500 mobile aero-derivative gas turbine generation units acquired from the Government of South Australia, which previously comprised the Temporary Generation North power station. Each unit is rated for 30.8 MW net output for a total generation capacity of 154 MW. The plant commenced operation on 10 June 2022 after having been originally expected to be online by 1 July 2023. Operation was initially subject to an overnight curfew by the Environment Protection Authority (South Australia) due to noise. Custom-built silencers were subsequently added and the curfew was provisionally lifted from 4 December 2023. References

Don Aitken Centre

The Don Aitken Centre, also known as the Main Roads Western Australia Building, is a 10-storey office building in East Perth, Western Australia. It has been the main office of Main Roads Western Australia since it opened in 1970. History Western Australia's economy boomed in the decades following World War II as the state rapidly increased its gold and iron ore production. This resulted in the development of freeways and other roads in Perth, expanding the responsibility of the Main Roads Department. Many colonial and gold rush era buildings in Perth were being demolished as well, to be replaced with modernist buildings. This included the Colonial Barracks, where the Main Roads Department was based. In 1967, it was decided that the Main Roads Department would need its own building. A site was chosen in East Perth at the end of Wellington Street. On the site was a brick house, shed, and changing rooms which were demolished, and a sports playing field which was levelled. In early 1968, tenders were called for. A contract worth $3,266,330 was awarded, however after a fifth of the work was completed, the contractor went bankrupt, pausing construction until a new contract was signed. The design of the building was done by local architecture firm Oldham, Boas, Ednie-Brown & Partners. H. A. Doust Pty Ltd took over construction of the building, and it was completed in 1970, with Main Roads staff moving into the building in June of that year. This was the first time since 1928 that all Main Roads staff were in one building. Main Roads only had 430 staff, below the building's maximum occupancy of 660 people, so the remaining space was occupied by police administration. The building was officially opened by the premier of Western Australia, Sir David Brand, on 27 November 1970. The building was named the Don Aitken Centre on 25 May 1993. Aitken had worked for Main Roads for 41 years, including 22 years as Commissioner of Main Roads. He retired in 1987. On 25 May 2022, the Don Aitken Centre was placed on the State Register of Heritage Places. Description The Don Aitken Centre is an office building consisting of 10-storeys plus a basement. It was designed in the Late Twentieth Century International Style with elements of Brutalist architecture. A bronze sculpture by Margaret Priest is located within the foyer. It was officially unveiled by the minister for works, Ross Hutchinson, on 28 October 1970, and forms the basis of Main Roads' logo. The initial design had eight floors dedicated to office space, one floor with a cafeteria and recreation facilities, one floor for the caretaker's quarters, mechanical rooms and an observation gallery, and a car park in the basement. The building was positioned such that another office building could be constructed on the same site to the north.

Lake Muir Nature Reserve

Lake Muir Nature Reserve is a protected area in Western Australia. It encompasses Lake Muir and several smaller lakes and wetlands. It is an important refuge for water birds, and home to several rare plants and plant communities. Geography The reserve is located in the South West region, in the shires of Manjimup and Cranbook, 55 km south east of Manjimup. The lakes and swamps form a partly-interconnected system. They vary in size, with Lake Muir the largest. The lakes and swamps also vary in salinity, from freshwater to saline, and include both seasonal and permanent wetlands on peat and inorganic substrates. Muir Highway passes through the northern end of the reserve, north of Lake Muir. Lake Muir Observatory is located off the highway at the north end of the lake. It has an observatory and 110-metre boardwalk for viewing the lake along with shelter, picnic tables, and toilets, and is a popular rest stop for travelers. The reserve is bounded on the south by Lake Muir National Park. Flora and fauna The reserve protects several wetland plant communities which are now rare outside coastal Southwest Australia. The swamps are mostly dominated by sedges and shrubs, and the reserve includes the largest natural sedgelands in Western Australia. The swamps are home to three species of nationally vulnerable orchids – Harrington's spider orchid (Caladenia harringtoniae), Christine's spider orchid (Caladenia christineae), and the tall donkey orchid (Diuris drummondii). It is also the location of a localized Kunzea species Kunzea micrantha. The open lakes are used for moulting by thousands of Australian shelduck (Tadorna tadornoides), and provide a drought refuge for tens of thousands of ducks and other water birds, including Australian little bittern (Ixobrychus dubius), spotless crake (Zapornia tabuensis), black swan (Cygnus atratus), and eurasian coot (Fulica atra). The swamps support a significant population of Australasian bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus). Vulnerable fauna present in the reserve include Balston's pygmy perch (Nannatherina balstoni), Muir's corella (Cacatua pastinator pastinator), forest red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii), chuditch (Dasyurus geoffroii), numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), woylie (Bettongia penicillata), and quokka (Setonix brachyurus). Conservation The reserve was designated in 2001. It was designated a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in the same year. The Ramsar site covers an area of 10,631 ha.

Peak Hill railway station

Peak Hill Railway Station is a former railway station located at Peak Hill, New South Wales. History The first Peak Hill railway station was built and came into operation on 12 December 1910. It was located on the Narromine to Peak Hill line. The Peak Hill to Parkes section of the rail line was not completed until 1914. The original station building burnt down on 30 January 1934. The building was not rebuilt as it was decided to move the Goonumbla railway station to Peak Hill instead. The Goonumbla station c.1920 was larger and more modern than the original building. Passenger rail services ceased in 1974 and when the railway ceased to operate in February 1982 the building was scheduled for demolition. The community fought to save the building and it was moved once again from the railway line to Lindner oval where it now serves as an amenities block and storeroom. Description The Peak Hill (old Goonumbla) station measures 20.7m (68 feet) by 3.6m (12 feet). See also List of regional railway stations in New South Wales References
Phillip Island Bridge

Phillip Island Bridge is a cantilever bridge in Victoria, Australia, that connects the Australian mainland with Phillip Island. History On 29 November 1940, a suspension bridge opened between San Remo, Victoria on the mainland to Newhaven, Victoria on Phillip Island. The 540 metre bridge had two lanes but no footpaths, instead having six pedestrian refuges. The main span was 168 metres long. The cables had previously been used on a bridge on Sydney's North Shore. Because of weight restrictions, tourist coaches had to offload their passengers. In April 1966, a contract was awarded to John Holland for a replacement bridge made from reinforced concrete. It opened on 21 November 1969. See also Phillip Island San Remo Phillip Island Road References External links Media related to Phillip Island Bridge at Wikimedia Commons
Union railway station, Melbourne

Union station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mont Albert in Victoria, Australia. Union is a below ground premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 22 May 2023 after the closure of Mont Albert and Surrey Hills stations. It was built as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. History In December 2020, it was announced that Mont Albert and Surrey Hills stations (approximately 750 m (2,460 ft) apart) would be closed, and replaced with a station in between them. This was due to the fact that level crossing removal works on Union Road and Mont Albert Road required a rebuild of the stations, which would have violated rail safety standards as they were located on curved tracks. Moving the stations to straighter track would necessitate moving them closer together, hence the decision to only build one station with the western entry in Surrey Hills and an eastern entry in Mont Albert. The name of the new station was announced as Union on 23 March 2022, selected both to represent the unity of the two stations and for the nearby Union Road shopping village. Platforms and services Union has one island platform with two faces and one side platform. It is served by Lilydale and Belgrave line trains. Transport links CDC Melbourne operates one bus route via Union station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: 612 : Box Hill station – Chadstone Shopping Centre Ventura Bus Lines operates one bus route via Union station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: 766 : Box Hill station – Burwood Gallery References External links Media related to Union railway station at Wikimedia Commons Station information at Metro Route information at PTV
Ngadju Indigenous Protected Area

Ngadju Indigenous Protected Area is an Indigenous Protected Area in Western Australia. It covers an area of 43.993.01 km2 in the Goldfields-Esperance region. The protected area was established in 2020. The Ngadju people serve as traditional custodians of the land. Geography The reserve covers an area of 43993.01 km2, which consists of several separate blocks of land. The southeastern portion is bounded by Cape Arid National Park to the south and Nuytsland Nature Reserve to the south and southeast. Ngadju Indigenous Protected Area bounds Dundas Nature Reserve on the south, east, northwest, and northeast. The eastern portion of the protected area adjoins Frank Hann and Peak Charles national parks. Flora and fauna The protected area covers an extensive area where the Mediterranean-climate forests, woodlands and shrublands of Southwest Australia transition to the arid deserts of the Australian interior. It includes one quarter of the Great Western Woodlands, considered the largest remaining intact Mediterranean-climate woodland on Earth. The protected area is home to 21 vertebrate and 166 plant species listed as threatened or priority species at state or national level. History and conservation In 2014 and 2017 the Federal Court recognised Ngadju traditional ownership of over 102,000 square kilometres, after a long legal proceeding which began in 1995. The land includes exclusive native title over approximately 45,000 square kilometres, east and west of the town of Norseman. In 2020 the Ngadju Indigenous Protected Area was dedicated on the Ngadju land. The Ngadju Rangers combine traditional land management and contemporary science to conserve biodiversity, manage fire, weeds, and feral animals, and protect cultural sites within the protected area.

Spinifex Ridge mine

Spinifex Ridgem mine is an inactive iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Australia, northeast of Marble Bar. Overview Moly Mines awarded production contracts to BGC Contracting in August 2010. Initially, there were plans for an open-pit molybdenum/copper mine producing 20 million tonnes (44 billion pounds) per year; With changes in the price of molybdenum, this was downsized to 10 million tonnes (22 billion pounds) per year. Port facilities at Port Hedland were commissioned in September 2010 Iron ore mining began in November 2010; ramping up to a throughput of 1 million tonnes (2.2 billion pounds) per year. The mine had been the subject of a legal dispute during and after the final stages of production. Moly Mines had conducted a mine gate sales agreement with Mineral Resources, under which the latter paid A$35 million in advance for an expected 2.4 million tonnes of iron ore from the mine. Concluded in 2013, the deal was to extend to the completion of mining at Spinifex Ridge, with a final payment in the range of A$3 million due upon this. As part of this agreement, Moly Mines accepted that it could potentially owe money to Mineral Resources, depending on the amount and quality of the ore mined. In November 2015, an expert adviser concluded that Moly Mining owned Mineral Resources for $4.2 million, a sum the former disputed. Subsequently, Mineral Resources launched legal action in the Western Australian Supreme Court on 24 December 2015, claiming A$4.9 million. At the time, Moly Mines had A$72.7 million in cash available to invest in another project. The dispute was eventually settled in August 2017 in favour of Moly Mines. As of 2022, the mine is placed in care and maintenance, having operated from 2010 to 2014, and being owned by the former Moly Mines, renamed Young Australian Mines in 2018. A separate molybdenum/copper project nearby, also owned by Young Australian Mines, remains undeveloped.

Yuraygir National Park

Yuraygir is a national park in New South Wales, Australia, located 482 km (300 mi) northeast of Sydney. It was created in 1980, a result of the merger and enlargement of two national parks, Angourie and Red Rock National Parks, both of which had been established in 1975. At the time of its establishment in 1980, the park was fragmented, and parcels of land were bought over the following two decades to unite segments into a more contiguous protected area. Sometimes these acquisitions required protracted negotiations (and legal disputes) with land owners. Etymology The name is a phonetic translation of the local indigenous tribe who had lived in the area, and had formerly been transcribed variously as Jeigir, Jiegera, Jungai, Yagir, Yegera, Yegir, Yiegera or Youngai. Description Covering 65 km (40 mi) of coastline, it is the largest coastal park in New South Wales. The Yuraygir coastal walk traverses the coastline, and takes four days to complete. There are 48 beaches, including the highly regarded 800-metre (2,600 ft)-long Shelley Beach. Thirty species of mammal have been recorded within the park, including the threatened rufous bettong (Aepyprymnus rufescens), tiger quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) and squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis). Swamps and wet heath are habitat for the threatened eastern ground parrot (Pezoporus wallicus) and eastern grass owl (Tyto longimembris). Pests include feral pigs, cats, dogs and horses, and foxes, while problem weeds include groundsel bush (Baccharis halimifolia), bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotunda), lantana (Lantana camara) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii).
