McKinnon railway station

McKinnon station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of McKinnon, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. McKinnon station is a below ground unstaffed station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 1 September 1884, with the current station provided in August 2016. Initially opened as McKinnon Road, the station was given its current name of McKinnon on 14 December 1885. History McKinnon station opened on 1 September 1884, almost three years after the railway line from Caulfield was extended to Mordialloc. The station gets its name from McKinnon Road, which was reputedly named after a local settler. In 1928, mechanically-operated boom gates were provided at the former McKinnon Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station. It was the only instance of these types of gates being used at a level crossing in Victoria. In 1974, they were replaced with conventional boom barriers. During 1976, the down platform (Platform 3) at the former ground level station was provided. Just over a decade later, on 28 June 1987, the up face of the former island platform was brought into use. In May 2015, the Victorian State Government announced a grade separation project to replace the McKinnon Road level crossing, immediately south of the station. This included rebuilding the station. On 1 August 2016, the rebuilt station opened. Platforms and services McKinnon has one island platform with two faces and one side platform. Prior to being closed for its 2016 rebuild, in the morning peak-hour, Frankston-bound services used Platform 3, with Flinders Street-bound services using Platforms 1 and 2. At other times, Frankston-bound services used Platform 2. Following the re-construction of Glen Huntly station in July 2023, Frankston-bound services use Platform 3, while Platform 2 is not regularly used and non-stopping express trains pass the platform in the peak hour. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Frankston line services.

McMahons Point ferry wharf

McMahons Point ferry wharf is located on the northern side of Sydney Harbour serving the suburb of McMahons Point. It is served by Sydney Ferries Parramatta River and Pyrmont Bay services operated by First Fleet ferries. History There has been a wharf at McMahons Point since at least 1839, when Blues Point Road was gazetted as a thoroughfare from there to the township of St Leonards. At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of passenger ferries plied the route between here and the city, with services operating every 10 to 15 minutes. Six million passengers a year were served by the wharf. A tramway opened in 1909 to bring more commuters to the wharf. When the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 the ferry services became redundant, and in 1935 small ferries operated by Hegarty Ferries took over the runs formerly operated by the larger craft of Sydney Ferries Limited to McMahons Point. The wharf has since again become part of the Sydney Ferries network. The wharf closed on 13 April 2016 to be replaced by a larger structure. The new wharf is at a 90-degree angle to the shore and has two sides. It reopened on 20 October 2016.

Meadowbank Dam

The Meadowbank Dam is a buttress dam, with a concrete-faced embankment, across the Lower River Derwent, located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1966 and owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania, the resultant reservoir was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the Meadowbank Power Station, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station. Dam overview Completed by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS) in 1966, the buttress dam wall is 43 metres (141 ft) high and 262 metres (860 ft) long; and on its right hand side, the structure has a concrete-faced embankment, both built on a rock foundation. When full, the reservoir has capacity of 60,000 megalitres (49,000 acre⋅ft) and covers 600 hectares (1,500 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 6,561 square kilometres (2,533 sq mi). The controlled spillway has a flow capacity of 5,239 cubic metres per second (185,000 cu ft/s). Hydroelectric power station Part of the Derwent scheme that comprises eleven hydroelectric power stations, the Meadowbank Power Station is the final power station in the scheme. The aboveground power station is located near the dam wall. The facilities at the Meadowbank Power Station are simple and include the dam, intake structure with intake gate designed to cut off full flow, a short penstock which is integral with the dam, the power station building, generator equipment and associated facilities. The power station was commissioned in 1967 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS) with a single Boving Kaplan-type turbine with a generating capacity of 41.8 megawatts (56,100 hp) of electricity. In 2015, the turbine was upgraded to a single Andritz Kaplan-type turbine with a generating capacity of 43.8 megawatts (58,700 hp) of electricity. Within the station building, the turbine has a five-bladed runner and concrete spiral casing. Pre-stressed cables passing through the stay vanes anchor the spiral casing and form part of the station foundation. No inlet valve is installed in the station. The station output, estimated to be 187 gigawatt-hours (670 TJ) annually, is fed to TasNetworks' transmission grid via parallel 11 kV/220 kV Siemens generator transformers to the outdoor switchyard. Water discharged from the Meadowbank Power Station flows into the River Derwent. 2016 energy crisis In 2016, the power station was the location of diesel generators required to supplement the power into the Tasmanian grid due to the 2016 Tasmanian energy crisis and the failure of the Basslink cable.

Мельбурнский монетный двор

Мельбурнский монетный двор (англ. Melbourne Mint) — австралийское предприятие, открытие которого состоялось в городе Мельбурн 12 июня 1872 года в качестве филиала британского Королевского монетного двора. До 1916 года на нём чеканились только золотые монеты (соверены и полусоверены), а с 1927 по 1967 год — австралийские монеты всех номиналов. Бывший Монетный двор расположен на углу улиц Уильям-стрит и Латроуб-стрит (280—318 по улице Уильям-стрит и 387—429 Латроуб-стрит). Здание имеет большую архитектурную и историческую ценность, как одно из самых впечатляющих правительственных зданий XIX века в штате Виктория, и одно из немногих австралийских зданий в стиле «неоренессанс». В настоящее время здесь расположен Греческий музей. Здание Монетного двора было построено между 1869 и 1872 годами по проекту архитектора Джона Кларка, который также разработал проект старого здания Казначейства в Мельбурне..

Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club

The Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club (MSTEC) is a volunteer club in Scoresby, Victoria, Australia, dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and restoration of industrial heritage, particularly machinery. The club's activities take place on the site of the National Steam Centre where there is a collection of mobile steam, stationary steam engines, stationary IC engines, diesel engines, diesel generator sets, tractors and other mobile machinery. There is also a library, an archive, and a miniature railway that circles the site. History Formed in 1963, the Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club has been at its present 6½ hectare site in Scoresby, Victoria since 1986. Previously it was located on land leased from Beamish Heavy Haulage at Wantirna. The site was originally a depot used for the tunnelling of the main trunk sewer and was an empty lot when the club took it over. Since occupation, the site has been developed with landscaping, tree planting, installation of the rail track, construction of the 9 sheds and toilet block and a man-made lake. National Steam Centre display The engines on display at the National Steam Centre represent many years of collection and restoration efforts by the members. In addition to the engines owned by the club, several members' privately owned engines are kept at the centre. A particular effort has gone in to ensure Australian steam and industrial heritage is preserved in Australia. Run days & Miniature Railway Many of the engines on display are operated on the last Sunday of each month. This opportunity allows visitors to see many of the steam and diesel stationary engines running, including several steam traction engines, steam rollers and tractors operating in the central arena. The miniature railway at the site operates every Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm, except during inclement weather and the Christmas-New Year break. The 1km track encircles the site, and takes in a lake, grazing cattle, and museum exhibits. While only one train runs at a time, the last Sunday of each month may feature a steam locomotive, with a diesel engine on other Sundays. The grounds offer shaded picnic areas and a gas barbecue, and while general entry is free, special events may have an entrance fee. Annual rally The club's annual rally, known as the Scoresby Steamfest is held on the long weekend in March each year when many of the restored engines are exhibited and operated. Particular emphasis is placed on exhibiting engines as they were intended to be used, driving industrial or agricultural implements for example. Exhibits from many other associated clubs and historic machinery associations are also displayed and operated, as well as that from private collectors and enthusiasts. More recently, exhibits at the Scoresby Steamfest have grown to encompass many other hobbies and collections, including model and experimental engineering and crafting, collections of antique engineering artefacts and tools, oil lamps, mechanical music, and other items from bygone eras.

Melbourne Youth Justice Centre

Melbourne Youth Justice Centre (formerly Melbourne Juvenile Justice Centre and Turana Youth Training Centre) is a youth corrections facility located in Parkville, Victoria, Australia. The facility is designed to accommodate 15- to 17-year-old males through four units and a separate multi-purpose unit that house young people on remand. Some of those housed are slightly older if they were under 18 at the time of their offence. The facility also houses 10-17 year old females (remanded or sentenced) and 18-21 year old women sentenced to a Youth Justice Centre Order. Young people have access to a variety of social, vocational and educational programs through Parkville College, as well as day and weekend leaves. Young people housed at the centre also have TVs in their rooms. The facility is one of Australia's most hazardous workplaces. History Turana Until the mid-1950s, Turana (then the Children's Welfare Department Receiving Depot for Girls and Boys) "processed" all children from infancy to 18 coming into the care of the State Government, whether offenders or under the then equivalent of care and protection orders. Children were sent from Turana to various institutions (government and non-government) throughout the state. Children who were deemed "difficult" to handle or who required psychiatric treatment or were due for court appearances in Melbourne were returned to Turana. The opening of Winlaton Youth Training Centre (also known as Winlaton Juvenile School and Nunawading Residential Facility) in 1956 meant that young women aged 14–18 were moved out of Turana. The opening in 1960 of Pirra Children's Home (aka Pirra Girls' Home) and Allambie Reception Centre meant that young children under the care of the Family Welfare Division of the Social Welfare Department, were also moved out of Turana which could then accommodate young males only. The name "Turana" was chosen in the late 1950s by the wife of Arthur Rylah, then Chief Secretary of Victoria. The word was believed to be Koori for "Rainbow". Ilya Nikkolai designed and remodelled the Turana Youth Remand and Classification Centre, introducing laminated tempered glass in galvanised high-tensile steel frames, solving long-standing security and maintenance problems. Riots (2016) 13th-14th November The riot at the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre lasted 17 hours, ending peacefully at 6:45 pm. Over 40 inmates were involved, with property damage and fire alarms activated. Emergency services ensured no injuries, and all youths were accounted for. Following the incident, a “significant number” of inmates were temporarily transferred to an adult prison. Victorian Minister for Families and Children, Jenny Mikakos, cited infrastructure issues, pledging redevelopment for enhanced security and safety measures. References Juvenile Justice Centres [1]
