Berwick College

Berwick College is a co-educational, public school for years 7 to 12 situated in the outer Melbourne metropolitan suburb of Berwick. It was once the largest single campus government secondary college in Victoria. In 2006 the school started downsizing with the majority of a block of portables removed. The school consists of approximately 1500 students and 200 teachers, principals and aides. At the state election in 2006, the Victorian Labor Party canvassed plans to build a junior campus of Berwick Secondary in the Timbarra Estate. This school would serve students in years seven to nine. The campus had been proposed, at past state elections, to act as a stand-alone campus. These ideas, however, were later rejected by the Government due to feasibility concerns. Berwick College has been subject to an act of student violence on school grounds. On 21 August 2019, police were called to Berwick Secondary College about 1.30pm after reports that about 15 to 20 students were involved in a fight resulting in the arrest of three students aged between 14 and 16.

Berwick railway station, Melbourne

Berwick station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and V/Line on the Pakenham and Gippsland lines, which are part of the Melbourne and Victorian rail networks. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Berwick, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Berwick station is a ground-level premium station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 8 October 1877. History Berwick station opened on 8 October 1877, when the railway line from Dandenong was extended to Pakenham. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England, the birthplace of Robert Gardiner, who was an early leaseholder in the area. In 1956, the line between Berwick and Officer was duplicated, with a signal panel also installed at the station in that year. In 1962, duplication between Berwick and Narre Warren was provided. In 1970, flashing light signals were provided at the former Clyde Road level crossing, which was located nearby in the up direction of the station. On 12 October 1982, at around 11:15am, Hitachi carriage 137M, leading a Dandenong – Pakenham shuttle service, collided with a semi-trailer at the level crossing. The collision derailed 137M, flipping it on its side. Eleven people were injured in the collision. 137M was later withdrawn due to the collision. In 1986, boom barriers were provided at the former level crossing. During September 1988, the former No. 2 and No. 3 roads were removed. In December of that year, a number of points and signals were abolished. In 1998, Berwick was upgraded to a premium station. On 1 December 2018, the signal panel was abolished. In February 2022, the Clyde Road level crossing was grade separated, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. The level crossing was removed by building a road underpass beneath the railway line. The grade separation works also included upgrading the bus interchange at the station. On 21 February of that year, Clyde Road reopened to vehicular traffic. Platforms and services Berwick has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham line services, as well as selected V/Line Traralgon services.

Beveridge Island (Victoria)

Beveridge Island is an island in Victoria, Australia, within the locality of Tyntynder in the Rural City of Swan Hill. It is enclosed by the Murray River, and an anabranch of the river in the south and has an area of approximately 1116 hectares. There are no road crossings to the island. Boundary dispute In 1873, the year after the Privy Council determined that Pental Island was part of Victoria, New South Wales and Victoria agreed that Beveridge Island was also Victorian territory. This agreement was based on the conclusion of the states' respective Surveyors General that the northern branch of the Murray River was the main channel. In 1982, William Hazlett, a farmer who had been charged in the Magistrates' Court of Victoria with illegally taking water from the southern stream of the Murray River to irrigate Beveridge Island, unsuccessfully challenged this agreement in the High Court, arguing that the southern branch was the main one and the island was therefore in New South Wales. The High Court dismissed his appeal, confirming that the island was part of Victoria. See also Pental Island References

Beyeria Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on Kangaroo Island in the gazetted locality of Haines, about 16 kilometres (9.9 miles) south of Kingscote on the northern edge of the MacGillivray Plain. It was proclaimed on 14 May 1987, following requests to the state government by conservation groups and botanists to prevent further land clearing for agriculture in the vicinity, as well as to protect populations of rare plant species. The name of the conservation park is taken from the generic name of one of the plants so protected: the Kangaroo Island turpentine bush (Beyeria subtecta). The conservation park has an area of 188 hectares (460 acres). It has sandy loam lateritic soils over deep clay, with gilgais in the otherwise level plain. There is a small, seasonally-filled swamp in the south-eastern corner. The vegetation association is Eucalyptus cneorifolia woodland with Melaleuca uncinata and Callistemon rugulosus in the swampy area. Apart from the turpentine bush, rare endemic plants in the reserve include Grevillea muricata, Olearia microdisca, and Caladenia ovata. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category IV protected area. In 1991, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.

Bickley Pumpback Dam

Bickley Pumpback Dam, known also as the Lower Bickley Brook reservoir, is located in Perth, Western Australia. Bickley is a suburb situated on the Darling Scarp. It was constructed in 1921 to improve Perth's water supply; the executive engineer on the project was Arthur Hillman. The dam site was also used as a campsite for children in the 1950s. The water collected in the dam was at one time pumped back into Victoria Dam, where it was treated, then gravitated or pumped into the metropolitan trunk main system for distribution. However the current quality of the water, collected within the reservoir, is considered unsuitable for consumption. As such it is no longer transferred for addition to Perth's Integrated Water Supply System. The area around the reservoir, including the dam, recreation camp, Hardinge Park and the pipe track from Victoria Dam are on the City of Gosnells heritage list. Notes
Big Banana

The Big Banana is a tourist attraction and amusement park in the city of Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia. The grounds of the park are set amongst a banana plantation, featuring a large walk-through banana. Built in 1964, it was one of Australia's first Big Things. Other notable attractions include an alpine coaster, toboggan ride, giant slide, and water park. Plantation tours are also available. In keeping with the plantation theme, banana-related products are shown or sold in the park which also has a souvenir shop and restaurant. In January 2014, during the peak tourist season the Big Banana received close to 150,000 visitors. The Big Banana has been a family owned business since it was opened by Betty and John Landi, and Stella and John Enveoldson in 1964. The original Big Banana has been copied by the Big Bunch of Bananas, also in Coffs Harbour, and the Big Bananas at Carnarvon, Western Australia. In 2011, Huffington Post included the Big Banana in their list of the "Top 10 Pieces of Folly Architecture." A species of plant described in 2023, Pittosporum kororoense, was given the common name "Big Banana Pittosporum" due to its very limited range in rainforest within close proximity to the attraction. Attractions Current The park's rides include an 82m slide, dodgems, a 4D Cinema, a toboggan and water slides. Other attractions include laser tag, mini golf, an ice skating rink, a theatre providing an educational experience, a reptile zoo, and escape rooms. In 2022, plans were submitted for the park to construct an alpine coaster, known as Plantation Coaster. The ride, expected to cost $5.5m, was approved in 2023, and construction began in April 2025. Plantation Coaster opened on 13 December 2025. Former The park featured three scenic monorail sets driven on a two beam track. The track passed by a lagoon that featured an animatronic bunyip, which was shut off in 2005 due to budget constraints. The monorail's track linked display buildings and transported visitors up the steep slope of the plantation. In 2005, a broken down train was being pushed by one of the two other sets to a maintenance shed for repairs when the coupling system failed and the broken down set ploughed into the lagoon. On the evening of Australia Day 2014, a disused scenic lookout attraction was destroyed by fire. Postage stamps Australia Post issued a set of 50c postage stamps in 2007 commemorating big things, including the Big Banana.

Big Merino

The Big Merino is a 15.2-metre (50 ft) tall concrete statue of a merino ram located in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. It was modelled after Rambo, a stud ram that lived on a local property, “Bullamallita”. The Big Merino was built near the Hume Highway (Cowper Street) in 1985. The complex was opened in Cowper Street, on 20 September 1985 by John Brown who was the federal minister for sport, recreation and tourism. The idea was originally conceived by brothers Attila and Louis Mokany. The Big Merino was constructed by Adelaide builder Glenn Senner and took six months to build. The frame is steel, covered and shaped with wire mesh, sprayed and detailed in reinforced concrete. The architect was Gary Dutallis. In 1992 the highway rerouted to bypass the town of Goulburn, which resulted in 40 fewer busloads of tourists visiting the Big Merino each day. On 26 May 2007, the Big Merino was moved to a location closer to the new Hume Highway to increase visitor numbers, and is now located near the freeway interchange at a service station. Inside the Big Merino is a gift shop, an exhibition on the history of wool in Australia, and an observatory in the ram's eyes.
