Wright Island (South Australia)

Wright Island is a 1 hectare (2.5 acres) island in Encounter Bay, South Australia. It is located between the popular tourist destination Granite Island and the prominent rocky headland known as The Bluff. The island consists largely of granite boulders. It also features low vegetation and a sandy beach suitable for the landing of small boats. The island is uninhabited and can only be accessed from the water. It was named after William Wright, one of the headmen of the South Australia Company's whaling operations in the Victor Harbor area in the 1800s. The island is managed by the City of Victor Harbor, the local government authority, as part of its parks and gardens asset. Eleven-year-old Janet Barker visited the island in 1954 and described it in a letter to Adelaide newspaper, The Mail: One day a boy rowed us over to Wright Island where we saw lots of baby penguins.Their nests were lined with feathers but we could hardly see them because they were under rocks. On the beach there were two whale bones and there were shags all over the rocks. The boy told us the island was half a mile from Encounter Bay and on still nights he could hear the penguins squawking. Wright Island Beach Wright Island Beach (35°34'55.45"S 138°36'29.24"E) is a small beach located on Wright Island. It is commonly used by wildlife and is popular with human visitors in the summer who swim and fish there. Little penguin colony "Many" penguins were present on Wright Island in 1941 and breeding in 1954. In 1973, ten dead penguins and fifteen young seagulls were found dead on Wright Island in Encounter Bay, South Australia. It was believed that they were killed by people poking sticks down burrows before scattering the dead bodies around. In 1977, Wright Island supported a colony of 300 Little penguins. In 1990, the wider Encounter Bay population (of which Wright Island is a part) was estimated to be between 5000 and 7000 penguins. In early December 1991 a general count found 447 penguins present. In 1992, the population was estimated at over 200. At June 2011 its population status was unknown. In January 2013, Victor Harbor mayor Graham Philp said that the penguin colonies on Wright and West Islands were 'extinct' while the population on Granite Island was in 'the low 20s'. The 2013 Encounter Bay penguin census conducted by penguin ecologist Diane Colombelli-Négrel from Flinders University found no penguins and no active burrows on Wright Island. The census' report concluded that the colony had not recovered from a prior colony collapse. References

Braeside Park

Braeside Park is a 310-hectare (770-acre) metropolitan, recreational and conservation park in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Braeside. History Before European settlement, the Bunurong people lived in and around the area for thousands of years. In 1851, the Colony of Victoria was established after separation from New South Wales; leases held by squatters were withdrawn and the land was surveyed, divided into portions and auctioned. The park since had a history of various owners and land uses. In 1982, Parks Victoria, assumed responsibility for Braeside park. Geography The park's natural environment includes wetlands, heathlands and red gum woodlands. The wetlands are made up of herbaceous native and introduced plant species which provide habitat for water-dependent birds. The heathland is located on sandy well-drained soil with vegetation including trees (mostly the manna gum), shrubs, sedges, grasses, groundcovers and herbs. The red gum woodlands consists of river red gums and a grassland of introduced grasses, mostly pasture grasses, due to the area's history of cattle grazing. Features The park contains multi-use trails, a picnic area, tree stump art carvings and a community garden. Braeside Park has a 24-hour car park at the entrance to the park from Lower Dandenong Road. The park's wetlands are also a popular birdwatching location. Birds such as the pacific black duck, pied cormorant, spotted pardalote and whistling kite can be found in the area. The park also fields the 45-hectare (110-acre) Heathland Conservation Zone, a restricted-access area aiming to preserve and enhance the remnant natural features and cultural resources of the heathland habitat.

The station is planned to eventually serve trains to the Sydney central business district and Bankstown as part of the government's 20-year Sydney's Rail Future strategy. History The NSW Government announced a future railway line to Castle Hill, south-east of Bella Vista, as part of its Action for Public Transport strategy in 1998. Bella Vista was to be served by a bus rapid transit connection to the new rail terminus. A longer-term plan presented by Co-ordinator General of Rail Ron Christie three years later included a 'Mungerie Park Line', with a station at Burns Road (now called Memorial Avenue) in Kellyville – about one kilometre north of the present Bella Vista Station site. In the years that followed, Burns Road Station formed part of successive north-western rail proposals, including the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Plan in 2005 and a short-lived metro proposal in 2008. Burns Road opened as a North West T-way bus station in 2007. Work on the North West Rail Link got underway with the election of the O'Farrell Government in 2011. As part of the approved proposal, Burns Road Station was replaced with new stops at Lexington Drive, Bella Vista, to the south and Samantha Riley Drive, Kellyville, to the north. The new station opened to passengers 26 May 2019. The station is operated by Metro Trains Sydney, which was also responsible for the design of the station as part of its Operations, Trains and Systems contract with Transport for NSW. Services Bella Vista has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Metro North West & Bankstown Line services. Bella Vista station is served by bus route 745 to Glenwood, Stanhope Gardens, Quakers Hill and St Marys, operated by Busways, whilst CDC NSW services to Sydney CBD, North Sydney and Parramatta operate from Celebration T-way.

Cherrybrook metro station

Cherrybrook Metro Station is a station on the Sydney Metro network's North West & Bankstown Line, located along Castle Hill Road in the Hornsby Shire suburb of Cherrybrook, New South Wales. The station has since started serving trains to the Sydney central business district and will extend to Bankstown as part of the government's 20-year Sydney's Rail Future strategy. History The NSW Government announced a future railway line through the Cherrybrook area, from Epping to Castle Hill, as part of its Action for Public Transport strategy in 1998. (The document did not specifically list any intermediate stations, however.) A more specific but longer-term plan, presented by Co-ordinator General of Rail Ron Christie three years later, listed possible stations at Koala Park, West Pennant Hills, and Highs Road, also in West Pennant Hills. In 2002, Transport Minister Carl Scully announced that the notional Koala Park and Highs Road sites would be served by a single station at Franklin Road, Cherrybrook, to be called Franklin Road. This site faces Castle Hill Road, like its predecessors, and is roughly halfway between the two. Franklin Road Station remained part of successive north-western rail proposals, including the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Strategy in 2005 and a short-lived metro proposal in 2008. Following a change of government, work on the Sydney Metro Northwest commenced in 2013. The station was renamed Cherrybrook Station (Government Land) in the final proposal. The new station opened 26 May 2019. The station is operated by Metro Trains Sydney, which was also responsible for the design of the station as part of its Operations, Trains and Systems contract with Transport for NSW. Services Cherrybrook has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Metro North West & Bankstown Line services. Cherrybrook station is served by a number of bus routes operated by CDC NSW.

Tallawong metro station

Tallawong metro station is a rapid transit railway station and the terminus of the Metro Northwest line, serving the Sydney suburb of Tallawong. It is served by Sydney Metro M1 Metro North West & Bankstown Line services. Beyond the station to the west lies the Tallawong depot, where metro rolling stock is stabled. History Though various forms of a rail line to Rouse Hill were proposed by the NSW Government between 1998 and 2010, these generally terminated at Rouse Hill Town Centre. A 2001 plan had the line continue north-west rather than west from Rouse Hill, with the next stop at Box Hill. Tallawong only emerged as a station location in 2012, with the government favouring a future corridor heading west from Rouse Hill towards the existing Schofields railway station and the future growth area of Marsden Park. The station opened on 26 May 2019 and is operated by Metro Trains Sydney, who are also responsible for the design of the station. As of 2018, it was proposed to extend the line to Schofields station heading west from Tallawong, where it would connect with a proposed "North-South Link" towards Western Sydney Airport and Macarthur. Name The station was originally named Cudgegong Road during construction, after a nearby road, which in turn was named for a central west NSW property owned by the suburb's namesake, local pastoralist and political figure Richard Rouse. It could not be named Rouse Hill as this name is used for a separate station to the east at Rouse Hill Town Centre. Blacktown City Council unsuccessfully proposed naming the surrounding area and station in honour of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. In December 2017, the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales launched a consultation to rename the station Tallawong. The renaming was confirmed in April 2018. Tallawong is a Darug word meaning apple gum tree. In November 2020, the portion of Rouse Hill in which the station was located became part of the new suburb of Tallawong, named after the station. Design The station was designed by Australian architectural firm Hassell. Its facilities include 1,000 parking spaces and a bicycle shed with 45 spaces. Services Platforms Tallawong has one island platform with two faces. It is served by M1 Metro North West & Bankstown Line services. Two bus stops are located adjacent to the station. The "Tallawong Station, Implexa Pde" stop is serviced by two Busways services to Marsden Park and two to Blacktown. The "Implexa Pde opp Tallawong Station" stop is serviced by four Busways services to Rouse Hill.

E Shed Markets

E Shed Markets is a weekend market located on Victoria Quay in the Fremantle Harbour in Western Australia. It is housed in a historic timber building known as "E" Shed that was constructed in 1929 further up the quay and closer to the wharf. The building is one of a number of sheds that had varying names and locations in the twentieth century. The market hosts a variety of free entertainment, such as but not limited to, weekly live music, tribute shows, children's activities such as face painting and discos, magicians, quiz shows and other performances. The Squiffies Café, located within the market, operates seven days a week, offering a variety of pastries and beverages. The original "E" Shed was demolished in 1929, with its replacement built at the same location. In 1995 this shed was moved from its location alongside the river at Victoria Quay to vacant land behind B and C sheds. The shed was rotated 180 degrees in the process. The design was carried out by Tarek Ibrahim for AND Design. The construction work was carried out by Fini Group for the cost of A$6M including developing the building into a market.
