Macleay Park

Macleay Park is a multi-sports complex in the Melbourne suburb of Balwyn North. It hosts Australian rules football, cricket, soccer, baseball and netball matches. The name also refers to the wider public park in which the sporting grounds are located, while the western half of the venue is also referred to as Myrtle Park. History In 1923, the Camberwell City Council acquired the land on which the park stands today. In its early years, the parkland was known as Myrtle Park. The North Balwyn Cricket Club was established in 1927, followed by the North Balwyn Baseball Club in 1937. During the post-war housing boom in Melbourne during the 1950s, the park became increasingly used by the increase in population, including by travelling circuses, and the original sporting pavilion was opened in 1962 and rebuilt in 2007. It is situated between Severn St and Buchanan Avenue in a portion of a valley through which the Glass Creek runs, now largely through underground drains. Access Cars enter the park from one of two separate entrances, either from Belmore Road directly or from Gildan Street. There is no through access between the carparks. Belmore Road features frequent bus services, with both the 302 and 304 routes servicing the park at two stops. A path, crossing Buchanan Avenue to the east, links Macleay Park with Hislop Park through the North Balwyn Tennis Club. There is also pedestrian access from Severn Street in the west, Balwyn High School and Cobham Street to the north, Buchanan Avenue in the east and Belmore Road from the south. Walking tracks A number of gravel and informal paths run throughout the park. A primary circuit path follows the boundaries of most ovals which is suitable for walking, jogging or cycling. Sporting clubs There are ten sporting clubs which use the park: Balwyn Saints Cricket Club Balwyn Blasters Junior Cricket Club North Balwyn Cricket Club North Balwyn Baseball Club St Barnabas Cricket Club Boroondara Cricket Club Melbourne Baseball Club Boroondara Netball Association Boroondara Eagles Football Club One FC Complaints from nearby residents about sporting activities and facilities in the park have sparked controversy in recent years, including the installation of netball courts and sportsground lighting.

The Pages Conservation Park

The Pages Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia which is associated with the island group known as The Pages located in Backstairs Passage about 25 kilometres (16 miles) south-east of Cape Jervis and about 98 kilometres (61 miles) south south-west of the state capital of Adelaide. The conservation park consists of the island group and adjoining waters. The islands first acquired protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve proclaimed under the Crown Lands Act 1929. On 27 April 1972, the fauna conservation reserve was reconstituted as The Pages Conservation Park under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. On 24 December 1997, the boundary of the conservation park was extended 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) seawards in order to control berleying associated with both shark cage diving and shark fishing. As of 2018, it covered an area of 70.23 square kilometres (27.12 sq mi). In 1980, the conservation park was described as follows: Two small islands and a reef which have some aesthetic significance. The islands support a large breeding colony of Australian sea lions and have long been recognised as an important area for seabirds… Two small rocky islands and a reef in Backstairs Passage. The islands are predominantly rock though their relatively flat tops support a low open shrubland of Senecio lautus with widely scattered Atriplex sp and Bulbinopsis bulbosa in small pockets of soil. Steeper slopes support a mat of Disphyma clavellatum and occasional Enchylaena tomentosa… The isolation, absence of introduced species and only occasional human visits, has ensured habitat preservation. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category IA protected area. In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.

Pipemakers Park

The Pipemakers Park is an 8-hectare (20-acre) urban park located in Maribyrnong, an inner western suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. The park is situated on the western bank of the Maribyrnong River, near the Highpoint Shopping Centre. Established in 1987, the park was created on the site of a former pipe works and meat preserving company, and retains historic buildings adapted as Melbourne's Living Museum of the West and interpreted industrial ruins. The park forms part of the Pipemakers Park Complex, a former manufacturing site that consists of three historic bluestone buildings and other structures. The complex was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 20 August 1982, in advance of the park's establishment, due to its historical, archaeological and architectural significance. Established by the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works, the park was initially managed by Parks Victoria, and has been managed, since 2014, by the City of Maribyrnong as one parkland, together with the adjacent Burton Crescent Reserve, located to the north along the Maribyrnong River, Frogs Hollow Wetlands, located to the south, and the Thompson Reserve, located to the west. The park is located on the traditional lands of the Marin Balluk people. Description Joseph Raleigh established a boiling down works on the banks of the river in the 1840s. The original 1940s buildings were adapted to the Melbourne Meat Preserving Company works in 1868, and then taken over by Hume Pipes in c. 1911 for the manufacture of concrete pipes. Hume Pipes closed the factory in 1978 and the site was purchased by the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works. The site was cleaned up, with stabilisation and preservation works undertaken and one of the buildings refurbished and leased to the Living Museum of the West that was opened in 1984. A $2 million Bicentennial grant in 1987 enabled further development of the Living Museum. The area was declared a parkland in 1987. In 1995, one of the factories was converted into an interpretative garden called the History of the Land Discovery Trail and retains some features including tramways, concrete chutes, repurposed pipes, and parts of the original concrete slab. The park sits on the floodplain of the Maribyrnong River below a steep escarpment of the Western Basalt Plains. A 8-metre-high (26 ft) and 12-metre-wide (39 ft) sculpture by Matthew Harding is located in the park. Called Pipedreams, it was made from fabricated marine grade stainless steel.

Seal Island (Investigator Strait)

Seal Island is an island located in Investigator Strait off the south coast of Yorke Peninsula in the Australian state of South Australia about 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) south south-west of Stenhouse Bay. Since 1972, it has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park. Description Seal Island is about 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) south south-west of Stenhouse Bay. It is described as an ‘elevated hump’ rising to a height of 35 metres (115 feet) with a series of ‘segmented islets’ at its west side. Seal Island is reported as being best accessed via its north coast and during the ‘calmest weather’. A number of sources consider Seal Island along with the Althorpe Islands and Haystack Island to be a group of islands known as the Althorpe Islands Group. Formation, geology and oceanography Seal Island was formed between 7500 and 8900 years ago after sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene thereby separating Yorke Peninsula from Kangaroo Island. Seal Island is the remains of a granite inselberg capped by a layer of Bridgewater Formation calcarenite which has been extensively eroded by the action of the sea. Seal Island rises from a depth of 20 metres (66 feet) within 300 metres (980 feet) to its west and south shores, and within 700 metres (2,300 feet) of its east shore. Flora and fauna Flora A survey carried out in 1996 reported that 10 species of plants to be present including Nitre-bush, Grey Samphire, Roundleaved Pigface, Sea Celery, Marsh Saltbush and Ruby Saltbush and Australian Hollyhocks. Fauna A survey carried out in 1996 reported the following vertebrate animals to be present - Black-faced cormorant, Little penguin, Sooty oystercatcher, Rock parrot, Silver gull and Fairy tern. The 1996 survey also noted the presence of Galahs and Australian sea lions but assumed these animals were not residents of the island. Subsequent surveys found that Australian sea lions do use the island as a haul-out area and possibly as a rookery, while the Crested tern has been observed as being present on the island. Protected areas status Since 1972, the island has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park. Since 2007, it has been a prohibited area where access is only allowed by permit in order to protect breeding population of seabirds. Since 2012, the waters surrounding its shores are part of a sanctuary zone located within the boundaries of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park. References

Weetangera Primary School

Weetangera Primary School is a public coed primary school located in the suburb of Weetangera in Canberra, Australia. It caters for children in kindergarten to grade 6. The school's Principal is currently Anna Thorpe. History Weetangera Primary School is named for the suburb it is situated in. The history of the school can be traced back to 1875 when the first school was built in the region about one kilometre from the site of the present school and called Weetangera School. The first school was a stringy-bark hut measuring just three by four metres, with a fireplace but no windows. One of the early school's longest-serving teachers was Ellen Clark, who taught at the school for 26 years. The first Weetangera School closed in 1937, when enrolments dropped to just eight students. The present-day school opened in February 1973, with an initial enrolment of 384 students. The enrolment at Weetangera Primary School in 1974, its second year in operation, was 563, despite accommodation providing for only 450 pupils. Between 1986 and 1988, Weetangera Primary School incorporated a Montessori primary classroom. At the end of 1988, Page Primary School was shut down and pupils moved to Weetangera Primary School. Until the ACT Schools Authority banned the practice from 1988, corporal punishment was sometimes used at the school. In July 1990, then ACT Government Minister for Education Gary Humphries announced the Government would close Weetangera Primary School and six other schools. Parents and students protested the decision, and Hugh Hudson was appointed to audit and analyse the savings and impacts of the proposed closures. The Hudson report cast doubt over the closure of Weetangera Primary and two other schools, which were reprieved in the final government decision. In 1999, the school dedicated its Landcare garden to Barbara Fox, naming it the Barbara Fox Garden. Fox was the school's canteen manager and coordinator of the before and after-school care program. The Landcare garden, featuring more than 300 native plants near the school's entrance, had been developed over several years through a long-term regeneration program. In 2006, Weetangera Primary School was awarded with a Silver Accreditation Certificate as part of an ACT Government program to encourage schools to reduce less healthy options and increase healthier options. In 2012, SmartStart for Kids named the school its most successful cohort ever, after recording dramatic improvements in strength, flexibility and nutrition training across a group of students in kinder, year 1 and year 2.
