Mitcham Square

Mitcham Square Shopping Centre is a shopping mall in the City of Mitcham, located on Belair Road, Torrens Park, an inner southern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It consists of 55 retail and food outlets, two supermarkets, Foodland and Woolworths, a seven screen cinema, operated by Wallis Cinemas, along with many specialty shops including Mitcham Square News agency which has been owned and operated by the same family for over 27 years. In 2004, a fire destroyed the original centre, leading to a A$60 million redevelopment. International award Mitcham Square Foodland, owned by Romeo's Retail Group, won the 2008 "IGA International Retailer of the year" after winning the 2008 "State store of the year" and the 2008 "National store of the year". "Squirt" the whale A famous feature of the Mitcham Square Shopping Centre is a fibreglass whale named "Squirt", which children are able to play on and in, with mini-slippery dips for fins and a tail. The whale was rescued from the 2004 fire and restored, and in July 2008 was re-instated at the Shopping Centre, though in a new position, much to the pleasure of the local general public. Sadly, Squirt was vandalized in April 2009 and was offsite undergoing repair and restoration for several months. Squirt was restored to the new position by October 2009.

Model Brick Home

Model Brick Home is the name, for heritage-listing purposes, of a brick-and-tile house in Floreat, Western Australia. Designed by H. Howard Bonner in 1932, the plans won a competition for the design of an ideal cheap modern brick home; and the house was subsequently built on donated land, from donated materials and labour in 1934. Style and condition It is a single-storey rendered brick-and-tile home built in a simplified Inter-War Old English Tudor Revival style, with Mediterranean Revival influences. The most distinctive architectural feature is the curved roof. The house and gardens have both been modified extensively since the house was built, so its authenticity today is only moderate. History In the 1930s, Western Australia's Royal Australian Institute of Architects established a Building Revival Campaign, aimed at stimulating the home building industry, which, like all industries, was suffering the effects of the Great Depression. The campaign decided to run a competition for the best design for an ideal cheap modern timber house, and similarly for a brick house. The winner of the brick house section was the simplified Old English style design of H. Howard Bonner, from which Model Brick Home would be built. Following the competition, the campaign sought donations of land, materials and labour, so that houses might be constructed from winning designs. A number of offers of land were made, and RIA ended up accepting an offer of two blocks in the first subdivision of the new suburb of Floreat Park (now Floreat). Model Brick Home was built on one of these blocks in 1934. Heritage significance The building is significant as one of a small number of architect-designed buildings of the time; and as one of the first houses built in Floreat. Also, since Floreat was one of the first Perth suburbs built according to the principles of the garden city movement, the entire streetscape has significance as one of the first in Perth to be subject to planning regulations controlling urban design criteria such as setback.

Model Timber Home

Model Timber Home is the name, for heritage-listing purposes, of a timber-framed house in Floreat, Western Australia. Designed by Reginald Summerhayes, the plans won a competition for the design of an ideal cheap modern timber-framed home. The house was subsequently built on donated land, using donated materials and labour in 1934. History In the 1930s, Western Australia's Royal Institute of Architects (RIA) established a Building Revival Campaign, aimed at stimulating the home building industry, which, like all industries, was suffering the effects of the Great Depression. The campaign held a competition for the best design of a modern timber house costing less than £A 600, equivalent to A$5,900 in 2022, and similarly for a brick house. The winner of the timber house section was the Californian Bungalow style design of Reginald Summerhayes, from which Model Timber Home would be built. Following the competition, the campaign sought donations of land, materials and labour, so that houses might be constructed from the winning designs. A number of offers of land were made, and RIA accepted an offer of two blocks in the first subdivision of the new suburb of Floreat Park (now Floreat). Model Timber Home was built on one of these blocks in 1934. Style and condition It is a jarrah weatherboard home built in the interwar Californian Bungalow style, with influences of Australian Georgian revival style. It remained in original ownership until recently, and retains many of the original features, including fittings and furnishings. The authenticity extends to the garden, which contains the original fences, gates, pergola, paving, paths and plants. The only loss of authenticity arises from a small extension that was added in the 1970s, which resulted in the loss of one of the original bedrooms. Heritage significance The building is significant as one of a small number of architect-designed buildings of the time; as an excellent example of interwar Californian Bungalow style architecture; and as one of the first houses built in Floreat. Also, since Floreat was one of the first Perth suburbs built according to the principles of the garden city movement, the entire streetscape has significance as one of the first in Perth to be subject to planning regulations controlling urban design criteria such as setback. Finally, the weatherboard construction is rare in Floreat, as restrictions were later put on its use in construction.

Mogo Wildlife Park

Mogo Wildlife Park (formerly Mogo Zoo) is a small privately owned zoo in Mogo, on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Description Mogo is a member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association and has had success in breeding programs for endangered species, including the cotton-top tamarin, black-and-white ruffed lemur, red panda, and Sumatran tiger. The zoo has one of Australia's largest collections of primates. Unlike most small Australian zoos, Mogo Wildlife Park focuses on exotic species. Mogo Wildlife Park exhibits a large African savanna, and a series of islands for primate species. The zoo took over care from some unwanted animals from other collections. During the 1990s, the zoo kept an endangered kea parrot, the only individual held in any Australian zoo at the time or since, and was also the home of the last Siberian tiger in Australasia (Kuldur, who died in June 1997 aged seventeen). Snow leopards were a long term species at the park (beginning in October 1995) and the park was the first zoo in New South Wales to birth this species when on 20 October 1999 a female cub Sheva and male cub Bhutan were born to parents Lena and Mangar, who had another pair of cubs born at the park on 12 October 2003 (female Tenzin the last Snow leopard at the park who lived for 19 years, and male Khumbu, named after the region). In November 2019, Featherdale Wildlife Park bought Mogo Zoo from former owner Sally Padey, and took over full ownership and operations from the end of that month. During the devastating December 2019 bushfires, staff at Mogo Wildlife Park exhibited extraordinary dedication by remaining at the park to safeguard the animals. As the fire approached, the town of Mogo was evacuated, but the staff chose to stay behind to protect the wildlife under their care. Their efforts included implementing fire protection measures and maintaining the animals' welfare amidst the chaos. This unwavering commitment ensured the safety of the park's inhabitants during one of the most challenging periods faced by the region. The park also keep Asian water buffalo herds which can be sighted in paddock directly north of the zoo grounds viewable on the inland side driving Tomakin Road in the direction towards Princes Highway and Mogo village shops. Orangutan duo Jantan and Willow, originally from Taronga Zoo and have lived at the park since September 2018, are of mixed origin of both the Bornean and the Sumatran species, are currently not housed in the general public viewing area of the zoo.

Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden

Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden is a 123-hectare (300-acre) botanical garden in St Ives, in the Local Government Area of Ku-ring-gai Council on the Upper North Shore region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. History The Garden was established in 1966 by John Wrigley on behalf of Ku-ring-gai Council. (Wrigley went on to establish the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra in 1970.) It was opened by the then Governor of New South Wales, Sir Roden Cutler VC, in 1968. Features All of the plants in the Garden are Australian natives. Swamp wallabies are found within the garden. The dominant species of birds found in the garden are honeyeaters. Lamberts Clearing (named after the botanist Aylmer Bourke Lambert) is an open green space, and has a covered picnic area. There is a Fern House, which houses cycads, mossy ponds and ferns, and a Knoll Garden, which is a bush garden. Mueller Track (named after the first director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, Ferdinand von Mueller) is a path into the valley below the carpark. Ku-ring-gai Creek and Tree Fern Gully Creek intersect at Whipbird Gully. There is a nursery within the garden for the purchase of plants. Caley's Pavilion (named after the botanist George Caley) is a function room, available for wedding hire. There is a Wildflower & Garden Festival on the last Sunday of August each year. An elderly volunteer, Gaida Coote, disappeared in 2014, having attended a volunteer bush care group; her remains were only found in 2019. References External links Official website
Molong railway station

Molong railway station is a heritage-listed former railway station and now library on the Main Western railway line at Molong, Cabonne Shire, New South Wales, Australia. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History The station opened in 1885, and was the terminus of the line between 1886 and 1893. It is now closed to passenger services. The station closed in the early 1990s. The goods shed was demolished at that time, and the station was also faced with prospective demolition, but was saved by the efforts of local residents. Of timber construction, the station survives largely intact, is well maintained and is in use by various local community groups and a branch of the Central Western Libraries. North of the station (westwards along the railway) lies the junction point to the now-closed Molong–Dubbo railway line. The library was relocated from the station building in late 2018, resulting in concern for the building's future. Description The heritage-listed complex includes a timber station building of a type 4 standard roadside design with a brick platform dating from 1885. It also includes a gable-roof, pre-cast concrete signal box dating from 1924. Two locomotive water columns dating from c. 1900, the timber road overbridge, and the bunya pine (Araucaria bidwillii) tree outside the station are also included in the heritage listing. Heritage listing Molong is an excellent example of a standard timber wayside station with excellent detailing a good setting and good supporting buildings. The station has prominence in the main street and is an important visual part of the historic character of the town. The station building is the main element of the group but its setting is important to the way the buildings are seen in the town. The bridge is a good example of a once common but now rare timber bridge structure. Molong railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. This item is assessed as historically rare. This item is assessed as arch. rare. This item is assessed as socially rare. See also References Bibliography "Molong Railway Station and yard group". 2007. Attraction Homepage (2007). "Molong Railway Station and yard group".

Mon Repos Conservation Park

Mon Repos Conservation Park is a national park containing an important turtle rookery located at Mon Repos, Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east of Bundaberg. Mon Repos hosts the largest concentration of nesting marine turtles on the eastern Australian mainland and supports the most significant nesting population of the endangered loggerhead turtle in the South Pacific Ocean. Successful breeding here is critical if the loggerhead species is to survive. In far smaller numbers the flatback and green turtles and, intermittently, the leatherback turtle also nest along the Bundaberg coast. From November to March each year, adult turtles come ashore to lay eggs on Mon Repos beach. About eight weeks later young turtles emerge from the eggs and begin their journey to the sea. The best time to see turtles nesting is after dark from mid-November to February. Hatchlings usually leave their nests at night from mid-January until late March. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service rangers operate guided tours nightly during the breeding season. Mon Repos is a popular tourist attraction, with around 25,000 visitors every season. Beach access is now managed during the season to ensure that the impact of humans on nesting sea turtles is minimal. Mon Repos is French for "My Rest" and was the name of the homestead established by Augustus Purling Barton in 1884. Barton was a pioneer of the Queensland sugar industry. In the early 1890s, the French Government in collaboration with the Queensland Government and the New South Wales Government selected Mon Repos beach as the endpoint of an undersea telegraph cable between Australia and New Caledonia. The cable opened in 1893 and connected the telegraph at Bundaberg Post Office through the cable to New Caledonia and then via Fiji and Hawaii to the mainland United States of America. The remains of the cable hut and the radio tower are within the conservation park.

Mona Vale, Tasmania

Mona Vale is a large heritage listed 1860s country house in Ross, Tasmania. Completed in 1867, it is well known locally as the "Calendar House", for its reportedly 365 windows, 52 rooms, 12 chimneys and seven entrances. The property is on the Tasmanian Heritage Register and the Register of the National Estate (since 1978). Etymology The origin of the name of Mona Vale is disputed. Jupp, J lists it as named after Castle Mona, a historic home of the Duke of Atholl and presently a hotel. Bennet, A states that the name is derived from Monaeoda, the Latin name for the Isle of Man. History Mona Vale was built by Robert Kermode and designed by William Archer, his brother-in-law. At the time of its completion, it became the largest private house in Australia. It has received multiple royal visits over its lifetime. In 1868, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh visited, and later the then Duke of York (future King George VI) and the Duchess of York visited in 1927, with then Princess Elizabeth (Elizabeth II). It was purchased by the Cameron family in the 1920s. The estate was also the site of a military training ground, and the camp of a light horse regiment during WWII.

Mona Vale Hospital

Mona Vale Hospital is located in the suburb of Mona Vale, on the Northern Beaches of metropolitan Sydney, Australia. It is a public hospital managed by New South Wales Health, and part of the Northern Sydney Local Health District. The hospital was incorporated on 21 November 1958 under the Public Hospitals Act 1929, and opened on 22 February 1964 by the then Minister for Health, William Francis Sheahan. It initially accommodated 152 inpatients, with acute specialty services in Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care, General Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, General Medicine, General Paediatrics, Geriatrics, Rehabilitation and Palliative Care. The Accident and Emergency department opened shortly thereafter, on 23 March 1964. Finally, in 1975, a 43-bed paediatric unit was opened on level six, replacing a staff canteen. In October 2018, the majority of acute specialty services were transferred to the newly built, semi-private Northern Beaches Hospital. As a result, Mona Vale Hospital was redeveloped to include a range of sub-acute inpatient services, including geriatric, rehabilitation and palliative care, as well as the establishment of an outpatient community health centre for allied health and nursing reviews. The hospital features a 24-hour urgent care centre equivalent to a level one emergency department. A February 2020 report into the poor performance of the Northern Beaches Hospital recommended restoring the status of Mona Vale Hospital to a "Level Three" emergency department but this was rejected by the NSW Government. In September 2020, the NSW Government confirmed its plans to demolish the main hospital building because it contained asbestos, despite significant local opposition. Demolition works began in 2021 and by May 2021 the main hospital building had been completely removed. Urgent Care Centre In 2019, the hospital's former Emergency Department was re-purposed into a 24-hour Urgent Care Centre, intended to assess and treat minor illnesses and injuries on an outpatient basis. It was staffed by experienced medical practitioners with backgrounds in emergency medicine and/or general practice, who work alongside registered nurses and physiotherapists. Additionally, there are pathology and X-ray services available on-site during extended daytime hours. Patients at Mona Vale Hospital requiring further medical assessment and/or a higher level of care are traditionally transferred via ambulance to Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney Children's Hospital or Northern Beaches Hospital. Since its opening in October 2018, the urgent care centre sees an average of about 50 to 80 patients daily, with about 6% of them requiring onwards transfer to other facilities.

Monarto Zoo

Monarto Zoo is een dierentuin in het Australische plaatsje Monarto South. Het park wordt beheerd door de Royal Zoological Society of South Australia en heeft een samenwerking met Adelaide Zoo. Het park is het grootste Wildlife Dierenpark van Australië met een oppervlakte van 1000 ha. Er zijn een aantal manieren om het park te doorkruisen, te voet door middel van een wandelsafari of met een safaribus. Het park beschikt over de allereerste Zuidelijke witte neushoorn in een dierentuin en de grootste girafkudde van Australië. Geschiedenis Het park werd in 1983 als voor-publiek-gesloten-dierentuin opgericht met als doel een broeigebied voor bedreigde diersoorten te zijn. In 1990 werd een studie gedaan over de haalbaarheid om het park open te stellen voor publiek. In 1993 werd het park opengesteld voor publiek voor educatieve inrichting met bus-en wandeltochten. In het park zijn vijf grote leefgebied exposities ingericht. Waaronder de Aziatische steppen, het dorre noorden van Afrika, Afrikaanse vlaktes en Aziatische graslanden. Het park is omringd door ongediertebestendig hekwerk om het leefgebied van de dieren zo zelfstandig mogelijk te houden. Het gebied wordt niet geïrrigeerd om te bezuinigen op het waterverbruik en erosie in de semi-aride regio en er wordt vooral gebruikgemaakt van inheemse flora. De wegen en wandelpaden zijn gemaakt van lokaal materieel voor zo weinig mogelijk onderhoud en voor de mogelijkheid om te integreren in de omgeving mocht dat nodig zijn. Afvalwater wordt gerecycled en zoveel mogelijk zonne-energie wordt gebruikt voor schrikdraad behoeften. Diersoorten Het park heeft 25 verschillende diersoorten, waarvan het overgrote deel bestaat uit zoogdieren.
