Middle Island is an island in the Australian state of South Australia located in Spencer Gulf within Pondalowie Bay on the south-western coast of Yorke Peninsula. It is the largest of three islands within the bay with an approximate area of 28 hectares (69 acres). It first obtained protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929-1966 on 16 March 1967 and is currently located within the boundaries of the Innes National Park. It is also located within a habitat protection zone of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park. DEWNR lists the islands as 'no access' areas for the general public. Fauna A biodiversity survey was conducted on Middle Island in November 1982. Species recorded included (but are not limited to): black-faced cormorant, Caspian tern, sooty oystercatcher and the little penguin. Little penguin breeding sites were noted in a 1996 survey of South Australia's offshore islands. See also Royston Island South Island (South Australia) References
Mt Cattlin mine

The Mt Cattlin mine is a spodumene-tantalite mine 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) north of Ravensthorpe, Western Australia. In 2019 Mt Cattlin had a reserve of 8.2 million tonnes (18 billion pounds) of ore grading 1.29% Li2O and 155 ppm Ta2O5. The mine was operated by Galaxy Resources between 2009 and 2012 before being placed on care-and-maintenance in 2013. Mine production restarted on 31 March 2016 with a 17-year mine life at a rate of 800 thousand tonnes (1.8 billion pounds) of ore per year. In January 2017 the first shipment of 10 thousand tonnes (22 million pounds) of lithium concentrate was consigned from Esperance to Lianyungang, China. Following a decrease in lithium prices in 2024, the mine was once again placed on care-and-maintenance, with operations to be suspended by mid-2025.

Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital

The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (the Eye and Ear) is a specialist public teaching hospital in East Melbourne, Australia. It is the only hospital in Australia which specialises in both ophthalmology and otolaryngology. History The hospital was established as the Eye and Ear Infirmary in 1863, by Andrew Sexton Gray, an Irish medical practitioner who had emigrated to Victoria. Dr Gray founded the infirmary due to the prevalence of eye and ear diseases at the time, particularly amongst miners on the Victorian gold fields, and also due to poor standards of sanitation and hygiene. In 1870, Gray's infirmary merged with Ophthalmic and Orthopaedic Institution operated by Aubrey Bowen and Ewin Jones, and in 1878 the hospital was granted valuable land by the Victorian government in what was called Tank Reserve in East Melbourne. Its new building was completed in 1883. In 1945 Elizabeth Johns returned from military service with a Royal Red Cross to take on the role of matron. During her time a post-graduate tutor was appointed in 1950 for nurses to take post-graduate qualifications. In 1978, the Eye and Ear was the site of a pioneering operation to install the world's first multi-channel cochlear implant (Bionic Ear), developed by Graeme Clark. Professor Clark subsequently established the Bionic Ear Institute at the hospital, and one of the laneways through the hospital site was named Bionic Ear Lane to commemorate the research and development by Clark and his team. Statistics As of 2024, the Eye and Ear has 24 inpatient beds. In one year, the hospital treats about 200,000 outpatients, admits nearly 16,000 inpatients. The Emergency Department operates 24 hours a day, and handles around 43,000 presentations a year. Geography and redevelopment The hospital comprises three wings: the Aubrey Bowen Wing (built in 1896), the Peter Howson Wing (built in 1974) and the Smorgon Family Wing (commissioned in 1987). There is a tunnel underneath Victoria Parade which links the Eye and Ear to St Vincent's Hospital. On the 23 April 2024, The Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas, Minister for Health, Infrastructure and Ambulance Services, officially opened the redeveloped hospital. The new state of the art hospital benefits patients, staff and visitors with new facilities and bright open spaces. In 2021 it began the implementation of a digitisation project designed to improve the way it manages clinic appointments with patient self check-in kiosks and digital display screens to communicate information and waiting times to patients.

St Aloysius Convent of Mercy

St Aloysius Convent of Mercy is a former Catholic convent located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia, part of a larger site owned by the Church. This building is a part of the complex built by the Sisters of Mercy to provide accommodation and a school. Reverend Matthew Gibney, the Lord Bishop of Perth, laid the foundation stone of this building in July 1903. Gibney returned for the official opening ceremony in September of the same year. The construction of the convent was almost entirely funded by the family of Daniel Connor, who had been a very devout Catholic. The building is an imposing two storey red brick structure with red corrugated iron roof. Rendered bands extend around the building and along the window sills. There are gabled wings to each end, with half timbering creating a symmetrical façade. There is a two-storey panelled side extension joining the building to the current St John the Baptist Church.

St John the Baptist Church, Toodyay (1863–1963)

St John the Baptist Church is a former Roman Catholic church located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia, built 1863–64. History Following the move from Old Toodyay to Newcastle, Father Francis Salvado called for tenders to build a new Catholic chapel to replace the Sancta Maria of Old Toodyay. The foundation stone of the Catholic Church of St John the Baptist was laid in January 1863 by Father Martin Griver. He was assisted by Fr Francis Salvado, the Parish priest, and Fr Venanzio Garrido from the New Norcia mission. By Christmas 1864, the church was completed and had been blessed. The church's transept was used for a time as a school room for Catholic children until 1884 when the Sisters of Mercy came to Toodyay. In 1920, the west wing was added. In 1963, a new church with the same name was completed, next to St Aloysius (in the Catholic Precinct grounds), and the older church was de-consecrated and sold into private ownership. This is a rendered brick and corrugated iron building with tall pointed arch lancet windows. It has pointed pinnacles to the entrance porch and main facade. In the gable end a round window has been incorporated into rendered cross. References

Toodyay Court House

The former Toodyay Court House in Toodyay, Western Australia has been used as municipal offices for Toodyay since the 1950s. History The main part of the building (designed by George Temple-Poole) was constructed in 1896 and opened in January 1897. It replaced the first courthouse on the site built in 1867 from plans by Richard Roach Jewell. The site had also been the location of a convict hiring depot; one of four established in the colony after convicts were introduced in 1850. In 1902, after only 5 years of use, the last resident magistrate was withdrawn and the building was vacated. Many of the records that had been stored in the building were lost in the ensuing years. Surrounding buildings associated with the convict depot also declined, the old warders' quarters were demolished around 1931. In October 1956 the Under Secretary for Law (Mr Green) and Resident Magistrate, Northam (Keith Hamilton Hogg) met to discuss the restoration of the Court House after the Toodyay Health Inspector reported on the bad state of the building's drains. In 1957 the Minister for Works approved the proposal for the Crown Law Department and the Toodyay Road Board to share the use of the Toodyay Court House. Most of the projected cost estimates for renovations were to be shared between the Public Works Department (£750) and the Road Board (£150) with a total cost of £1,000. The Board would have a 10-year lease of the building (with a right of renewal) for £5 or £10 per annum. The Board later accepted the terms offered. In 1958 the Public Works Department let the contract to Mr Broderick for the removal of an old building adjacent to the Court House. This building, constructed in 1854 as the Toodyay Convict Depot Infirmary, was Toodyay's first public hospital. (The purpose built Newcastle Hospital replaced it in 1896.) The old building was then used as a drill room and store and later as the home of Norman Campbell until his death in May 1958. On 1 January 1959 the Toodyay Road Board moved into the restored Court House building. In 1985 additions were made to the eastern end of the building by Spadaccini Bros of Northam. The tendered amount was $104,130 to add 120m2 of office space. English bond style brickwork was used to complement the original 1896 Court House. Description The building is a single storey building constructed of brick with a corrugated iron hipped roof in a Federation Free Classical style. The building sits upon a rendered plinth and has stuccoed archways, keystones and string courses with feature timber cornices. Heritage value The former Court House building was classified by the National Trust of Australia (WA) on 7 June 1977 and included on the Shire of Toodyay's Municipal Heritage Inventory on 27 August 1998. On 14 February 2003 it was placed on the permanent state heritage register. In 2010, an archaeological excavation of a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) site around and including the former court building revealed the foundations of the convict depot. The entire site was added to the state heritage register in June 2014. References Further reading
Kanowna Belle Gold Mine

The Kanowna Belle Gold Mine is a gold mine 19 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, near the ghost town of Kanowna. Kanowna Belle is operated by Northern Star Resources. It has one viewing platform and an interpretive centre. History The gold deposit was discovered in 1989 by Delta Gold NL and Geopeko Gold and construction begun in 1992, with mining in open pit operation starting in 1993. The mine was officially opened by Western Australian Premier Richard Court on 19 November 1993. The project was solely owned by Delta Gold from 1999, when it purchased the remaining 50% for A$90 million. Delta later merged with fellow Australian company Goldfields to form Auriongold in February 2002. Aurion was taken over by Placer Dome in 2003, who already, at this stage, held a 60% interest in the mine, and Placer Dome in turn by Barrick Gold in March 2006 for US$10.4 billion. The Kanowna Belle processing plant, as of 2008, treated ore from three underground operations, Kanowna Belle, Raleigh and Bullant. In 2016 ore was sourced from Raleigh-Rubicon at Kundana, and from Kanowna Belle. In August 2009, Daniel Williams, a truck driver working 900 metres underground, fell to death at the mine. It was the fourth fatal accident in Australian mining in 2009 and the eighth in 14 months. In early 2014, Northern Star Resources purchased the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine, Plutonic and Kundana Gold Mines from Barrick Gold for US$100 million. Following this, in June 2014, Northern Star Resources completed the purchase of the Jundee Gold Mine from Newmont at a cost of $US82.5 million, thereby making the company Australia's second-largest gold producer, behind Newmont, at the time. The mine subsequently became part of the company's Kalgoorlie Operations, which consist of the South Kalgoorlie Gold Mine, purchased in 2018, the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine, the Kundana Gold Mine and the East Kundana Joint Venture (51 percent Northern Star Resources owned), with ore from the later two processed at the Kanowna Belle plant. Technology The Kanowna site is underground a trial of Caterpillar's Minegem autonomous loader technology. Production Kanowna Belle Gold Mine Annual production of the mine: Kalgoorlie Operations Production figures for the combined Kalgoorlie Operations, which consist of the South Kalgoorlie Gold Mine and the Kanowna Belle mine.

Aeroporto di Western Sydney

L'Aeroporto di Western Sydney (in inglese Western Sydney Airport) è un aeroporto internazionale, attualmente in costruzione, situato a Sydney in Australia. Storia La necessità di costruire questo aeroporto, che sarà il secondo aeroporto internazionale di Sydney, deriva dal sempre maggiore congestionamento dello storico aeroporto internazionale Kingsford Smith. Nel 2008, dopo decenni di dibattiti, si iniziò quindi a pianificare la costruzione di un nuovo aeroporto. Il 15 aprile 2014, il governo federale australiano annunciò che la località di Badgerys Creek avrebbe ospitato il nuovo aeroporto. I lavori di costruzione iniziarono invece nel settembre 2018, con completamento previsto per il 2026.
