Royal National Park railway station

Royal National Park railway station is located in Audley, New South Wales and services travellers to the Royal National Park. It is the terminus of the Royal National Park railway line, formerly part of the Sydney commuter rail network and now operated by the Sydney Tramway Museum. The station opened in 1886 and was served by trains on the Sydney network until 1991 when the Royal National Park railway line was closed due to low patronage. The line and station were transferred to the Sydney Tramway Museum and re-opened in May 1993 for heritage tramway operations. The museum operates services on the line on Wednesdays and Sundays, with the first service running at 10:15 am. Departures are hourly from then on, with the last one at 2:30 pm on Wednesday and 4:30 pm on Sunday. It is a popular means of access to the Royal National Park. History The station opened as Loftus on 9 March 1886 (the station currently known as Loftus was then called Loftus Junction). It was renamed National Park on 1 May 1889, back to Loftus in January 1890 and back again to National Park on 1 December 1896. It was finally renamed Royal National Park on 16 July 1955. The original island platform could accommodate ten carriages. There was also a goods bank and five sidings. Royal National Park was included in the electrification of the Illawarra railway line in 1926 and remained the southern limit of electrification until 1980 when overhead wiring was extended to Waterfall. At its peak in the 1930s, the line was served by 25 trains a day on weekends. On 4 July 1967, three of the five sidings at the station were removed. In 1978, the original station was demolished to make way for a visitor's centre and a new single platform built. By 1988, the line was being served by only three trains a day. After the Cowan rail accident in 1990, the Royal National Park branch line was used for safety tests. Because of the small number of services running on the line, it had the capacity for driver training to be conducted when required. Following the discovery of signalling faults, services ceased on 11 June 1991. With major expenditure required and average patronage having dwindled to three passengers per train, the line was formally closed. The line was taken over by the Sydney Tramway Museum with Royal National Park station re-opening as the line's terminus in May 1993. Due to the design of the heritage trams running on the line, they are unable to use the actual station platform. Services References External links Royal National Park on nswrail.net

Shepley Oval

Shepley Oval is an Australian rules football and cricket venue located in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong. It is the home of the Dandenong Stingrays in the Talent League and the Dandenong Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket (VPC) competition. History Shepley Oval is located at the eastern end of Dandenong Park, immediately north of the Dandenong Creek. The parkland was used for sports in the late 19th century, but throughout the early half of the 20th century until the 1960s, the premier venue for sports in Dandenong was the Dandenong Showgrounds (which at that time was located in Clow Street, the site presently occupied by the Dandenong Municipal Offices). Shepley Oval was developed to a top standard oval in the late 1950s, with a grandstand being opened in 1959, and it has been the region's premier sports venue since the 1960s. The venue's most historically notable football tenant is the Dandenong Football Club. Dandenong, which was then playing in the Victorian Football Association, moved its home ground from the Showgrounds to Shepley Oval in 1962, and played its games there until it folded at the end of the 1994 season. In 1995, the Southern Stingrays in Victoria's premier under-18s football competition, the TAC Cup, moved its home ground from Kavanagh Reserve, Mordialloc to Shepley Oval; the club has been since known as the Dandenong Stingrays, remains based at the ground as of 2025 and is now the main football tenant of the oval. Another notable football tenant of the ground was the Victorian Football League's Springvale Football Club, which played many of its games at the ground between 2000 and 2005, after it had left Springvale Reserve but before it moved to Casey Fields. In the early 1960s, around the same time as the Dandenong Football Club moved to Shepley Oval, the Dandenong Sub-District Cricket Club was formed, and began playing its games at Shepley Oval during the summer. Top level district cricket first came to the venue in 1989, when the Waverley Cricket Club merged with Dandenong; the merged club, originally known as Waverley-Dandenong but now known as the Dandenong Cricket Club, has played its first XI and second XI cricket at Shepley Oval since; Wilson Oval, which is adjacent to Shepley Oval in Dandenong Park, serves as the third and fourth XI home ground. The venue is named after former Dandenong Cricket Association secretary and president Harry Shepley. The oval has two main buildings: the Frank Storan Grandstand, named after the Dandenong cricket personality whose fundraising efforts facilitated its construction; and the Keith Miller Pavilion, named after the former Dandenong mayor, footballer and cricketer Keith Esmond Miller – not after former Australian Test cricketer and VFL footballer Keith Ross Miller, who was a much better known sportsman from Melbourne, but had no association with sport in Dandenong. The Keith Miller Pavilion underwent a $1.25 million re-development in 2014 to improve its training facilities. The ornate western gates were originally built at the Springvale Crematorium and were moved to Shepley Oval later. References
Sleaford Mere

Lo Sleaford Mere (in lingua Barngarla Kuyabidni/Kujadibni) è un lago salato permanente posto sulla punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre, in Australia Meridionale. Il lago si posiziona alla radice della penisola di Jussieu, nel territorio della località di Sleaford, circa 15 km a sud ovest del centro regionale di Port Lincoln. Esso venne battezzato col suo nome attuale (mere rappresenta un termine in inglese arcaico per indicare un lago) il 26 febbraio 1802 da Matthew Flinders: giunto nella zona alla ricerca d'acqua durante la sua esplorazione dell'Australia, il britannico lo trovò però imbevibile e lo battezzò in onore dell'omonima cittadina del nativo Lincolnshire. Il lago è circondato da sentieri e viene regolarmente visitato da turisti locali e non e dalle scolaresche: esiste una tradizione di canoistica sul lago, e apparentemente negli anni '80 sussisteva una sorta di lido situato sulle sue sponde meridionali. Geografia fisica Il lago presenta superficie di 7.07 chilometri quadrati e forma irregolare vagamente reminescente di un numero otto, con lunghezza di 4,8 - 6,4 km in direttrice NE-SW e larghezza massima di 1,6 km: il lago è profondo meno di un metro, e a seconda del livello dell'acqua può presentare o meno isolette affioranti. Lo Sleaford Mere riceve acqua sia dalle piogge locali (che ammontano in media a circa 500 mm annui) che da una o più fonti sotterranee: esso si colloca infatti in un bacino idrografico come Southern Basins Prescribed Wells Area, che copre l'area fra Port Lincoln e Coffin Bay e che supplisce l'intera zona di acqua potabile. Il lago si forma all'interno di un'area calcarea stratificata nota come Bridgewater Formation. Ecologia Il lago supporta una zona a macchia mediterranea dominata da moonah e Gahna trifida, con ampia presenza di pino d'Aleppo (specie introdotta a rischio di diventare infestante) e rappresentazione di specie più rare come asplenio e Daviesia. Sulle coste sono inoltre presenti stromatoliti. L'ambiente salmastro dello Sleaford Mere supporta la presenza di razze e dei pesci del genere Atherinosoma, che a loro volta rappresentano una fonte di cibo per tutta una serie di uccelli acquatici, fra cui gabbiano australiano e gabbiano del Pacifico, cormorano bianconero maggiore, beccaccia di mare orientale, corriere caporosso, alzavola castana, anatra muschiata australiana, oltre ai vulnerabili fraticello australiano, corriere dal cappuccio, piro-piro siberiano e al prossimo alla minaccia piovanello comune. Le aree costiere settentrionali del lago vengono inoltre considerate un habitat idoneo al popolamento da parte del maluro meridionale. In virtù di queste interessanti caratteristiche, il lago e l'area ad esso circostante, fino ai confini col prospiciente parco nazionale Lincoln, sono state dichiarate area protetta di livelli III (monumento naturale) già dal 1969 col nome di Sleaford Mere Conservation Park.

St Mary's Church, Middle Swan

St Mary's Church is an Anglican church on Yule Avenue in the suburb of Middle Swan, Western Australia. St Mary's was built in 1868 on the site of an earlier church which had been built there in 1838. The church is part of the Anglican Diocese of Perth, and it and its graveyard overlook the Swan River in the Swan Valley district. The church can seat 150 people and is open by appointment only. History On 5 August 1839 the foundation stone for the original church was laid, and Governor John Hutt opened it fifteen months later, on 29 November 1840. It was built on land owned by the Church Mission Society and in memory of Lucy Yule, the wife of Magistrate T. N. Yule who died in 1838 and was the first person buried on the site. The land is believed to be the site of a landing during James Stirling's expedition in 1827. The church was built with an octagonal layout and could hold about 100 people. It was consecrated in 1848 and remained in use until 1869. William Mitchell was the first minister to attend the church. A new (and the current) rectangular church was built in 1868–69 immediately adjacent to the old octagonal church. It was designed by Richard Roach Jewell and consecrated by Bishop Matthew Hale on 10 March 1869. The adjoining graveyard includes graves of many notable European settlers of the Swan River Colony from 1838. General references References
Swanson Dock

Swanson Dock is an international shipping facility in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was constructed between 1966 and 1972 by the Melbourne Harbor Trust, leading off the north bank of the Yarra River, to alleviate congestion in the port and provide Melbourne's first container shipping terminal. It is located about 2 km downstream from the Melbourne CBD and was named after Victor Swanson, chairman of the Melbourne Harbor Trust from 1960 to 1972. History The construction of Spencer Street bridge over the Yarra River in 1929 reduced the capacity of the riverside wharves, and led to expansion downstream of port facilities initially with Appleton Dock. Swanson Dock was constructed in 1968 on the former Coode Island as Melbourne's first all-container shipping terminal, reflecting the rapid world-wide change at the beginning of the 1960s, from unit cargo where each product was loaded in different forms of packaging, to shipping cargo in uniform sized containers. Swanson Dock was officially opened on 7 March 1969, by the Governor of Victoria, Sir Rohan Delacombe, during the 6th biennial conference of the International Association of Ports and Harbors, Melbourne Harbor Trust hosted. The first international ship to dock (at No 1 West Berth) was the Encounter Bay. Operation Swanson Dock East has a berth length of 884 metres (2,900 ft) serviced by six container cranes with 40 hectares (99 acres) of container storage and roadways and rail siding. Swanson Dock West has 944 metres (3,097 ft) of wharves with seven container cranes and 34 hectares (84 acres) of space, potentially expanding as trade grows. Swanson Dock East and West can accommodate the largest container ships trading with Australia. Railway goods sidings serve both Swanson Dock East and West, permitting the transfer of shipping containers between sea and rail transport. Originally provided in the 1960s with the development of the port, they were later removed. Rail facilities were restored between 2002 and 2003 with a new 1500 metre long siding and overpasses to separate road traffic. Swanson Dock was one side of the 1998 Australian waterfront dispute when dockworkers were locked out by Patrick Stevedores, and replaced with non-union labour. The Maritime Union of Australia workers picketing East Swanson dock invited Wendy Lowenstein to record them "making history", which was incorporated into a second edition of her book Under the Hook.

Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club

The Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1906 and operates at Tamarama Beach, Sydney. The clubhouse sits at the northern end of the beach. The club was formed after a dispute between local beach-goers and the operator of an amusement park, Wonderland City, on the beachfront. The operator erected a fence to prohibit access to the amusement park from the beach, but the fence had the effect of obstructing public access to the beach. The surfers and swimmers prevailed when the New South Wales government declared the beach to be public land, and some of them subsequently formed the surf life saving club. Tamarama Beach has a reputation for danger, due to its strong rip currents. Surf Life Saving New South Wales regards it as the state's most dangerous patrolled beach. However, there has never been a death at the beach while it has been patrolled.

Ventnor, Randwick

Ventnor is an historic home in the suburb of Randwick, a suburb of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. It was built as the home of George Kiss, one of the earliest politicians in Sydney. It is listed on the local heritage register and is listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate. Description and history George Kiss arrived in Sydney as a migrant who had been born in Warwickshire, England. He established successful businesses very quickly. Later he entered politics, becoming Mayor of Randwick, the oldest municipality in Sydney after the City of Sydney itself. Kiss built his home in Randwick in c. 1870, creating a two-storey, Georgian house of Sydney sandstone. He called it Ventnor, most probably after the town Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, England. Situated on what is now Avoca Street, the house faced east to take advantage of the views to the ocean. In spite of its Georgian character, the house featured Victorian detailing in its cast-iron columns and various sash windows. The main entrance, situated on the east side of the house, featured a six-paneled door and a fanlight. On the west side of the house, facing Avoca Street, a single-storey wing was created. Kiss died 13 August 1882. Two days later, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Kiss had died in Ventnor on the previous Sunday. It described how he had made himself prominent in Sydney by his untiring energy and business capacity, laying the foundations of his businesses soon after arriving in the colony. He had gone on to become Mayor of Randwick and was still an alderman of Randwick at his death. Ventnor was eventually acquired by the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church, situated just south of the house. It is used as a community centre by groups such as GROW.

Ningaloo Marine Park

Als Ningaloo Marine Park werden zwei Meeresschutzgebiete vor der Westküste Australiens bezeichnet, die in den Ningaloo Marine Park (Commonwealth Water) und Ningaloo Marine Parks (State Waters) unterteilt werden. Die Commonwealth Waters schließen sich an den 3 nautischen Meilen breiten Streifen der State Waters an der Küstenlinie mit 200 Meilen an. Der Ningaloo Marine Park (State Water), der am 7. Mai 1987 gegründet wurde, erstreckt sich etwa 260 km entlang der Westküste vom Bundegi Beach bei Exmouth in Western Australia bis zum Amherst Point südlich von Coral Bay. mit einer Fläche von 2.435 km² und befindet sich unter der Verwaltung der Landesregierung von Western Australia. Das Commonwealth Water verwaltet die Bundesregierung. Das als UNESCO-Welterbe geschützte Ningaloo Reef, liegt vor allem küstennah im Ningaloo Marine Park (State Water). Beide Marineparks umfassen zusammen eine Fläche von 5.070 km². Geschichte An der Ningaloo-Küste wurden Spuren von Aborigines der Junigudira und der Baiyungu an Felsen, in Höhlen und Anhäufungen von Muschelschalen an der Cape-Range-Halbinsel gefunden, die belegen, dass sie dort seit 30.000 Jahren lebten. Nach Berichten verließen sie ihr Gebiet kurz nachdem die europäischen Kolonisten siedelten. Der erste Europäer, der auf der in dieses Seegebiet eindrang, war der Niederländer Pieter Nuyts auf der Gulde Zeepaard im Jahr 1618 und die erste Landgang erfolgte durch Captain Jacobz mit dem Segelschiff Mauritius. Walfang In den 1790er Jahren kamen – 90 Jahre bevor die Europäer siedelten – zahlreiche Walfangschiffe in dieses Gebiet, um Pottwale zu jagen. Als deren Population sank, jagten die Walfänger Buckelwale. Die Walfänger hinterließen keine Infrastruktur an der Küste, dies geschah erst zwischen den Jahren 1913 und 1955. Tourismus Im Exmouth Gulf und am Rowley Shelf im Osten und im Norden des Parks wird nach natürlich entstandenen Perlen getaucht. Ferner befinden sich in diesem Seegebiet zahlreiche Schiffswracks wie auch im Ningaloo Marine Park (Commonwealth Waters). Touristen kommen vor allem nach Exmouth und in Coral Bay. Flora und Fauna Korallenriffe, Wattlandschaften, Felsenküsten, Sandstrände und Mangrovenwald wechseln sich an der Küstenlinie ab. Das komplette Riff ist Teil des „Ningaloo Marine Parks“ und beheimatet rund 200 Korallenarten. Mehr als 460 Arten von Rifffischen gibt es, ferner Muscheln und Krustentiere. An den äußeren Grenzen des Parks schwimmt die olivfarbene Seeschlange. Wasserschildkröten, Stachelrochen, Mantarochen, Dugongs können gesichtet werden. Es gibt zahlreiche Haiarten in diesem Gewässer, wie Riffhaien, Tigerhaie und Hammerhaie. Zwischen Juni und November ziehen Buckelwale an der Küste vorbei, von März bis Juni besuchen 300 bis 500 Walhaie die Gewässer des Ningaloo Reefs.
