North Williamstown railway station

North Williamstown station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Williamstown line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-western suburb of Newport, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. North Williamstown station is a below ground unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 February 1859, with the current station provided in December 2021. The Newport Railway Museum is located on nearby Champion Road, approximately 200 metres from the station. History North Williamstown station opened on 1 February 1859, just under a month after the railway line from Newport was extended to Williamstown Pier. In 1967, manually operated boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Ferguson Street level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station. In 1969, the boom barriers were converted to automatic operation, and the signal box for the level crossing was abolished. The land that is located east of the station was once occupied by a strip of historic commercial premises, but is now used as car parking. Various proposals have been made by railway land manager VicTrack to subdivide this land for a high-density residential development. The level crossing was a part of the first 50 crossings to be grade separated under the original scope of the Level Crossing Removal Project, which was promised by then opposition leader Daniel Andrews at the 2014 state election. In November 2019, the LXRP announced that consultation with the community for the project had started. On 19 June 2020, it was announced that the level crossing will be removed by lowering the railway line under the road, and will include rebuilding the station. On 11 October of that year, designs were released and, in January 2021, contracts were awarded. Major construction began in May 2021, with the station temporary closing on 2 August of that year. On 17 December of that year, the rebuilt station opened to passengers. As part of the project, the station building on Platform 2 was demolished, however the building on Platform 1 was retained for station operations. Platforms and services North Williamstown has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Williamstown line services.

Trevor Barker Beach Oval

Trevor Barker Beach Oval (also known simply as Trevor Barker Oval) is an Australian rules football venue located in the Melbourne suburb of Sandringham. Most commonly known as Beach Road Oval throughout its existence, in 1998 the ground was renamed after the late Trevor Barker, who died of cancer in 1996 at the age of 39. Since 2019, it has been known under naming rights as the Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval (WSTBBO). History In the late 1920s, the Sandringham City Council had been seeking to establish a senior football club in the district to join the Victorian Football Association, and providing a fenced venue to which admission could be charged was a requirement of the Association. After a previous unsuccessful application, the council received permission from the State Government to fence the existing playing oval in February 1929; the Sandringham Football Club entered the VFA the same season. The oval has a single grandstand (the Neil Bencraft Grandstand), a southern end named after record breaking goal kicker Nick Sautner (the Sautner Goal), and an administration centre (the John Mennie Administration Centre) – a social club and a capacity for 10,000. A record crowd of 18,000 attended the venue's first Sunday VFA premiership game, held between Sandringham and Port Melbourne Football Club in April 1964. A rec footy competition was also played at the ground. References External links Trevor Barker Beach Oval at Austadiums
Victorian College for the Deaf Melbourne

Das Victorian College for the Deaf (VCD) an der St. Kilda Road in Melbourne, ist die älteste Gehörlosenschule und wurde 1860 eröffnet. Das Victorian College for the Deaf ist Australiens einzige Spezialschule für Gehörlosenbildung von der Vorschule bis zur 12. Klasse. Der Unterricht erfolgt nach einem zweisprachigen Konzept mit Auslan, der Sprache der australischen Gehörlosengemeinschaft und Englisch als Zweitsprache. Das VCD spielt eine bedeutende Rolle in der Geschichte der australischen Gehörlosenkultur. Geschichte Am 16. Februar 1859 erschien im Melbourne Argus ein Brief mit der Bitte um Hilfe für die gehörlosen Kinder der Kolonie, da es für sie keine Bildungseinrichtungen gab. Frederick John Rose antwortete auf die Briefe von seinem Wohnsitz in Sandhurst (Bendigo) und schloss Freundschaft mit der Schriftstellerin Sarah Ann Lewis, deren Tochter Lucy Ann Lewis seine erste Schülerin wurde. Frederick J Rose war ein gebildeter Gehörloser, der 1852 aus England kam und an der Old Kent Road School for the Deaf in London unterrichtet wurde. Rose ertaubte im Alter von sechs Jahren nach einer Scharlach-Erkrankung. Am 12. November 1860 eröffnete Rose die „Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution“ in seiner Residenz in der Peel Street in Windsor. Die Schülerzahl wuchs innerhalb weniger Jahre schnell an, und die Schule musste dreimal umziehen: 1861 in ein Cottage in der Henry Street in Windsor, 1862 in ein Haus in der Nelson Street in Windsor und 1864 in das Leal House in der Commercial Road in Prahran. Nach drei Umzügen und angesichts der stetig wachsenden Mitgliederzahl erkannte das Komitee, dass es Zeit für ein dauerhaftes Zuhause und ein speziell entworfenes Gebäude war. 1865 gewährte die Regierung ein Grundstück an der Ecke St. Kilda Road und High Street in Prahran. Das ikonische Gebäude aus blauem Stein wurde errichtet und 1866 eröffnet. Es ist passend, dass der Gründer und erste Schulleiter ein gebildeter Gehörloser war. Rose war für viele Schüler ein Vorbild. Er bewies, dass die eigene Persönlichkeit niemals darüber entscheidet, was man erreichen kann. Ohne diesen Mann mit seinen kühnen Träumen wären Tausende gehörloser Viktorianer weder akademisch noch sozial besser dran, denn das Victorian College for the Deaf ist weiterhin das studentische Zentrum der Gehörlosengemeinschaft. Rose starb am 1. Dezember 1920 im Alter von 89 Jahren. Er ist auf dem St. Kilda Cemetery begraben. Ursprünglich hieß die Schule „Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution“, doch 1949 wurde das Wort „Dumb“ aus dem Namen gestrichen. Sie war die erste Institution ihrer Art weltweit, die das Wort „Dumb“ aus ihrem Namen strich. Von da an hieß die Schule „Victorian School for Deaf Children“. Im Jahr 1995 wurde der Name dann in „Victorian College for the Deaf“ geändert. Namen 1862 – Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution 1949 – Victorian School for Deaf Children (VSDC) 1995 – Victorian College for the Deaf (VCD) Literatur Burchett, J.H. (1964).

Victorian College for the Deaf

The Victorian College for the Deaf (VCD), located on St Kilda Road in Melbourne, Australia, is Victoria's oldest deaf school, opening in 1860. The Victorian College for the Deaf is Australia's only Prep to Year 12 Specialist in Deaf Education. Education is provided using a bilingual philosophy of teaching through Auslan, the language of the Australian deaf community, and English as the second language. It has a significant role in the history of Australian deaf culture. History On 16 February 1859, a letter appeared in the Melbourne Argus, appealing for help for the deaf children of the colony as there were no educational arrangements for these children. Frederick John Rose replied to the series of letters from his residency in Sandhurst (Bendigo) and formed a friendship with the writer Sarah Ann Lewis, whose daughter, Lucy Ann Lewis, became his first pupil. F.J. Rose was a well-educated deaf man who had come from England in 1852 and had been educated at the Old Kent Road School for the Deaf in London. Rose became deaf at the age of 6 after a bout of Scarlet Fever. On 12 November 1860 the 'Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution' was opened by Rose at his residency in Peel Street. Windsor. The school numbers grew quickly within a few years and had to move three times. In 1861 to a cottage on Henry Street, Windsor, in 1862 to a house on Nelson Street, Windsor and thirdly in 1864 to Leal House on Commercial Road, Prahran. After the 3 moves and with numbers continuing to grow, the Committee realised that it was time for a permanent home and a specially designed building. In 1865 the Government made a grant of land on the corner of St Kilda Road and High Street, Prahran, and the iconic blue-stone building was built and opened in 1866. It is appropriate that the founder and first headmaster was an educated Deaf man, Rose a role model to many students. If it wasn't for a man dreaming so boldly, thousands of Deaf Victorians would not be the better both academically and socially as the Victorian College for the Deaf continues to be the student hub of the Deaf community. Rose died on 1 December 1920 at the age of 89. He is buried in St Kilda Cemetery. Originally named Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution, the Dumb was dropped from the name in 1949 and significantly was the first institution of its like in the world to drop the word Dumb from its title. From then onwards the school was the Victorian School for Deaf Children. Then in the year of 1995 that name was changed to Victorian College for the Deaf.

Victoria Barracks, Brisbane

Victoria Barracks is an Australian Army base in the Brisbane suburb of Petrie Terrace in Queensland. History Colonial era Following Queensland's separation from New South Wales in 1859, the new government was faced with a problem: there was no permanent military presence in the new colony. The decision was made to establish a permanent presence at a site known as 'Green Hills'. Construction of the new 'Green Hills Barracks' began in 1864. The original barracks consisted of a guard room, a barracks block and officer's quarters. The first unit to occupy the new barracks was a detachment from the 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment of Foot. Although the barracks expanded in subsequent years to include a military hospital and a magazine, the garrison dwindled due largely to the effects of the Maori Wars. The next, and final British detachment came from the 50th (Queen's Own) Regiment of Foot. Following the departure of British troops, the barracks was occupied by the police from 1870 until 1885. Australia's growing colonial forces led to the barracks being re-occupied by the military. It was at this time that the name 'Victoria Barracks' was adopted, in honour of the reigning sovereign. It served as the headquarters of the Queensland Defence Force. Post-Federation Following federation in 1901, control of the site went to the newly formed Australian Army. With the build-up in forces preceding and during the First World War, the barracks experienced its second great period of expansion. It served as a headquarters during the Second World War, although its importance waned with the construction of Enoggera Barracks. From 1901 to the 1990's Victoria Barracks was the Headquarters of the 1st Military District (Australia). After the disbandment of 1MD, the Barracks was home to Defence Centre Brisbane. In 1983 a committee was formed to create a museum of Queensland Military Heritage, the museum was opened on 6 June 1984 by the Governor of Queensland James Ramsay (governor) and was operated by the Victoria Barracks Historical Society until 1998 when the Society moved out. In 1998 the newly formed Army History Unit established the Victoria Barracks Museum, this was renamed Army Museum South Queensland in 2013. Present day Today the site is still occupied by the Army. The Army Museum South Queensland is located on the site, and contains a large collection of replica and service medals covering the Army's involvement in the Boer War, World War I and World War II.
