Wielka Synagoga w Sydney

Wielka Synagoga w Sydney – największa synagoga znajdująca się w Sydney w Australii, przy Elizabeth Street. Historia Wielką Synagogę postanowiono zbudować w celu połączenia dwóch istniejących wcześniej w Sydney kongregacji żydowskich. Plac pod budowę został zakupiony w 1871 roku przez Johna Solomona za 2000 funtów, który po zebraniu odpowiednich funduszy przez kongregację przekazał go gminie żydowskiej. Budynek miał zostać wybudowany na wzór Synagogi Centralnej w Londynie. W 1872 roku architektem wybrany został Thomas Rowe, budowniczym został Aaron Loveridge. Prace budowlane rozpoczęto w 1874 roku, kamień węgielny pod budowę 26 stycznia 1875 roku wmurował Saul Samuel. Synagoga została otwarta 4 marca 1878 roku, prace nad wykończeniem dekoracji trwały jednak do 1883 roku. Jest to najstarsza synagoga w Sydney, była także jednym z pierwszych dużych budynków wiktoriańskich wzniesionych w Sydney. Uznawana jest za główną synagogę Żydów australijskich, może pomieścić tysiąc wiernych. W 1957 roku pogłębiona i powiększona została piwnica synagogi, otwarto w niej War Memorial Hall. W 1960 roku przy synagodze otwarto Rabbi LA Falk Library, przy synagodze działa także AM Rosenblum Jewish Museum. Architektura Synagoga została wybudowana w stylu neoegipskim, czasem jej architektura opisywana jest także jako styl wiktoriański, łączący style gotycki i bizantyjski lub neomauretański. Synagoga składa się z pierwotnej części oraz z dobudowanej w 1981 roku części zachodniej. Fasada budynku zbudowana została z piaskowca wydobywanego w Pyrmont, reszta jest ceglana. Elewacja od strony Castlereagh Street od dołu jest kamienna, wyżej przechodzi w otynkowaną cegłę. Część dobudowana w latach 80. XX wieku wykonana jest z żelbetu. Fasada synagogi zdobiona jest przez rozetę. Wnętrze budynku udekorowane jest formowanym gipsem, rzeźbionym drewnem oraz witrażami. Sala modlitewna otoczona jest babińcem. Aron ha-kodesz znajduje się od strony północno-zachodniej, bima znajduje się przy aron ha-kodeszu. W piwnicy działa biblioteka oraz muzeum. Przypisy Bibliografia RaymondR.

Historical Aircraft Restoration Society

The Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, often referred to by its acronym, HARS, is an Australian-based aircraft restoration group. The group has two museums, at Shellharbour Airport and Parkes Airport in New South Wales, Australia. HARS was formed in 1979 by a group of aviation enthusiasts interested in the preservation of Australian Aviation History. Its mission is "To recover and where possible restore to flying condition, aircraft or types of aircraft that have played a significant part in Australian Aviation History both in the Civil and Military arenas". The group possesses a collection which includes several large and significant aircraft such as a Boeing 707 and a Boeing 747-400. Many of its aircraft are kept at an airworthy standard, including a Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation which is the last remaining flying example in the world. Other examples are kept at a taxiable standard where restoration of airframes to an airworthy standard is not feasible. The group operates a Navy Heritage Flight, which operates a range of ex Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm aircraft in support of the Navy. The group's Boeing 707 was formerly owned by actor John Travolta, who donated the aircraft to the group in 2017. As of May 2022, however, the aircraft is still in the United States, with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the process to relocate the aircraft to Australia significantly. In March 2026, due to the 707 being non-airworthy, it boarded the ship Ocean Giant in Georgia, USA to head towards Port Kembla, AUS. The 707 is expected to arrive in port in early May 2026 before heading to HARS by road to be rebuilt. The arrival of the 747 required significant preparation to allow the aircraft to land at the small regional Shellharbour Airport without damaging the runway. Collection Aircraft at the Shellharbour museum include: Aircraft at the Parkes museum include: A aircraft kept in airworthy condition. R aircraft under restoration.

Green Island (Western Australia)

Watari/Green Island is an island in Oyster Harbour located approximately 6.5 kilometres (4 mi) northeast of Albany in Western Australia. The island has a total area of 2 hectares (5 acres) and was designated as a Class 1A Nature Reserve in 1988. The nearest point on the mainland, Bayonet Head, is located approximately 750 metres (2,461 ft) northwest of the island. History Green Island was named by George Vancouver, who also named Oyster Harbour when he visited the area in 1791. It is one of only four permanent pelican breeding grounds in Western Australia, the others being Mandurah, Shark Bay and Rockingham. The breeding pelicans can be seen from the Kalgan Queen Riverboat, as the island itself is a reserve. After Albany was first settled very late in 1826, Green Island was planted for vegetables. The first crop was laid in the Spring of 1827. By 1830 it was very productive and a hut had been erected for the garrison gardener to live in. In 1826, before the New South Wales military arrived to establish a garrison at nearby Princess Royal Harbour, a group of sealers took five Aboriginals to Green Island to catch birds. The sealers rowed away, leaving the Aboriginals behind, then returned the next day bringing water. The Aboriginals attempted to take the boat, and the sealers fired on them killing one Aboriginal man. The remaining Aboriginals were removed to Michaelmas Island and left there making "great lamentations". In 1991 the government department Fisheries Western Australia granted a fish farm license to the company Ocean Foods who have leases north and northeast of Green Island where blue mussels are farmed. Fauna The island is noted as an important breeding ground for small numbers of the Australian pelican. It was estimated in 1993 that seven active nests were located on the island. References

Greenough Regional Prison

Greenough Regional Prison is an Australian prison located in Narngulu, a suburb of Geraldton, Western Australia. The prison was opened in 1984 and had an operational capacity of 328 as of November 2012. The prison houses prisoners from around the Mid West region, including a large proportion of Aboriginal prisoners. A mix of maximum (remand), medium and minimum security prisoners are held at Greenough, including 25 female prisoners, with two cells available for mothers and babies and a minimum security facility that houses 36 male prisoners. Six allegedly drunk prisoners escaped from the facility in 1989 after throwing mattresses over razor wire and climbing over. The prisoners had secretly brewed the alcohol in the prison and consumed it prior to their escape. Two prisoners escaped from the minimum security section of the prison in 2008 after digging their way out under a security fence using a pool cue and a dust pan. A report released in 2010 on conditions in the prison found that conditions were degrading with overcrowding, forcing up to three inmates to share cells that were designed to hold one. At the time the prison was designed to hold a total population of 219 had was found to have 260 inmates being housed. Bunk beds used at the facility were found to be a safety risk. Marlon Noble was held at Greenough for 10 years without being charged with a crime; he was released in 2012. Later the same year three prison officers were injured when attempting to break up a fight between thrill killer Valerie Parashumti and another inmate. Parashumti attempted to escape in 2013 and managed to breach at least one fence before being recaptured and moved to a management cell. On 24 July 2018, ten prisoners escaped from the facility.

David Berry Hospital

David Berry Hospital is a Rehabilitation hospital at Berry on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Howard Joseland and Walter Liberty Vernon and built in 1909. The original hospital buildings and gatehouse were added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History David Berry Hospital was established as a result of a bequest left to the people of Berry by David Berry, who died in 1899. Berry left £100,000 "for the purpose of erecting a hospital for diseases for the benefit particularly of inhabitants of Broughton Creek and the District of Shoalhaven". A temporary hospital was established but proved inadequate, so the state government passed the David Berry Hospital Act 1906 providing for the construction of a permanent hospital and requiring its construction within ten years. In return, upon a commitment to "provide and maintain for all time" a hospital in the Berry district, David Berry's trustees gave the state government 88 acres of land at North Sydney. The hospital was opened on 18 September 1909 by Premier of New South Wales Charles Wade. The cost of construction was £7,900. The hospital was expanded in 1921, with additions to the sanitary index attached to the isolation wards, and again in 1936, when an "Aborigines ward", a maternity ward adjoining the women's ward and a small general purposes ward adjoining the men's ward were added. It was renovated in part in 1975. Services The hospital today provides rehabilitation and palliative care services to the Shoalhaven district. It has 26 inpatient beds, with 17 beds for rehabilitation patients and 9 for palliative care patients. The Karinya Palliative Care Unit is located in a standalone building in the hospital grounds. Heritage listing David Berry Hospital Precinct is of State heritage significance for its historical association with David Berry. It is also of architectural and aesthetic significance for is association with designer Colonial Architect Walter Liberty Vernon and Howard Joseland. The listing includes the central main building and gatehouse. The central main building is of two storey construction and flanked either side by single storey wings. The gate house is also of note. It is constructed in red brick with a slate roof. The upper section is stucco on a sandstone base with stucco decorative detailing.

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Skipton

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a heritage-listed Presbyterian church located in the town of Skipton, Victoria, Australia. The current bluestone church, built between 1871 and 1872 to designs of architects Davidson and Henderson, is notable for its incorporation of gargoyles in the form of kangaroos. History Presbyterian activity in the area began with a letter, dated 19 April 1854, directed to the Presbytery of Melbourne, written by pastoralist Francis Ormond, who lived at Borriyaloak, requesting a minister to serve the area. By July, Rev. T. McAnlis was appointed. Initial services were conducted at Baangal homestead, the home of Alex Anderson, a Presbyterian pastoralist. On 8 September, a meeting was held at the homestead to discuss the erection of a church and manse. The tender for the original church's brickwork was called on 6 July 1857, by Mr. Ed. Stevens, and the carpentry work on 22 July, by Mr. Jas. Jarvis. The brickwork was finally paid off on 31 October 1857, and the carpentry work on 3 December that same year. During this time a wooden building was constructed to serve as the manse. This original church was located north-east of the town's cemetery. As the congregation outgrew the small church, it was decided to build a larger building. Alexander Davidson and George Henderson were commissioned to design the new church. Francis Ormond, who was particularly keen for the church to be built, contributed £300, a fifth of the total cost, in an effort to inspire others to contribute financially. The church was officially opened on 15 September 1872. In June 1966, Dutch Australian stained glass artist Jean Orval was commissioned for the creation of two windows, dedicated to parishioners Mary Irene Blackwood (1888-1962) and Muriel Currie (1881-1962). Both windows depict a bouquet of flowers, with Jean gaining inspiration from photographs of flowers taken by Lady Joyce Pilditch of Langi Willi, who was instrumental in the installation process. She went so far as to collect flowers in England whilst travelling there, in order to inspire Orval. By March 1967, Jean presented a design to Lady Pilditch, who subsequently approved and sent Jean money to commence the official window. By April that year, they were ready to be installed, and a dedication ceremony was held on Saturday 22 April. Lady Pilditch went on to leave $100 in a wallet in Jean's car, with a thank you note, stating that the money was "to give you a day or two of leisure to restore your mind, your eyes and your soul".
