Wilson Island (Queensland)

Wilson Island is an island in the Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia. It is one of eight vegetated coral cays in the Capricornia Cays National Park. It is located north of the Tropic of Capricorn, approximately 72 kilometres (45 miles) north east off the coast of Gladstone, Queensland and 15 kilometres from nearby Heron Island. It is part of the Capricornia Cays Important Bird Area. It is also part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. History The island is named after Sub-Lieutenant William T.P. Wilson of HMS Waterwitch. Wildlife Wilson Island is an important turtle and bird rookery fringed by a white coral beach and covered with pisonia forest. The Capricorn silvereye, a small bird endemic to the southern Great Barrier Reef, is present. From November to March, the island is home to wedge-tailed shearwaters and green turtles laying their eggs. The island is closed during the month of February for the bird nesting season. From January to April, baby green turtles hatch and make their way into the sea, while from June to September, humpback whales can be seen going to and from their winter feeding grounds. Resort The island's primary land use is as an exclusive resort, which is run by Aldesta Hotel Group. A total of eighteen guests can stay on the island at any given time, with nine tents providing accommodation. Access to Wilson Island is by boat from nearby Heron Island, which is also owned by Aldesta Hotel Group. The resort was owned by P&O until sold to Voyages Hotels & Resorts in August 2004.

Windsor Hotel (Perth)

The Windsor Hotel is a heritage-listed building in South Perth, Western Australia. Designed by J. J. Talbot Hobbs, the building is of Federation Filigree style. Built in 1898, it is one of the earliest surviving hotels in Perth's southern suburbs. The Windsor is sited to take advantage of patrons visiting Perth Zoo, coming via ferry along the Swan River. Since its construction, the hotel has had several major renovations. History The Windsor Hotel was designed by prominent architect J. J. Talbot Hobbs, and built for George Strickland in 1898 at a cost of £4,050, equivalent to A$732,609 in 2022. The hotel opened on the corner of Mends Street and Mill Point Road at a time when the popularity of South Perth was increasing; by the mid-1890s the suburb was well established. In 1898, the Perth Zoo opened, along with a post office, which operated out of the hotel for a period of time. Part way through World War II, the Strickland family sold the hotel to Mary Thomas (later Mary Raine), who willed it to the University of Western Australia. Major works have taken place since the Windsor was constructed in 1898, with renovations carried out in 1962, 1965, 1970, the 1980s and 1991. Style The building was designed in Federation Filigree style. The building is constructed with tuck-pointed brickwork in Flemish bond and its corrugated iron roof is concealed behind a parapet. The veranda and balcony extend along both street facades and are covered with a lean-to roof. The veranda roof is broken by gables, which highlight the main entrance to each street facade and the truncated corner. The veranda roof is supported on fine, ornamental cast-iron posts with capitals and cast-iron balustrading. Its intact street veranda and roof details are now very scarce and so have rarity value. The Windsor Hotel is representative of the Australian pub tradition: a two-storey hotel with verandas, usually located on a prominent street corner in a suburb or country town. It was listed with the Heritage Council of Western Australia in 1995. References External links Official website
Wingan Inlet

Wingan Inlet is an inlet within the Croajingolong National Park, in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Features and location The inlet covers a surface area of 38 hectares (94 acres) and is fed by the Wingan River and provides outflow to the Tasman Sea. It features a ranger-managed camping ground, about an hour's drive from the nearest town, Cann River, along a rough stretch of dirt road. The inlet and its surrounds are home to many species of marine life, including crabs, Sydney rock oysters and other shellfish, as well as birds and small mammals. Paralysis ticks, lace monitors and snakes are common. The Wingan Point headland is located a few metres away from the inlet mouth. History Aboriginal history The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Wingan Inlet are the Australian Aboriginal Bidawal and Nindi-Ngudjam Ngarigu Monero peoples. European discovery Wingan Inlet is of historical significance; James Cook clearly recorded the existence of the Inlet on his chart - while naming the nearby southern headland, Ram Head on Thursday, April 19, 1780. George Bass took shelter from bad weather near the Inlet, on 20 January 1798 in a 28 feet (8.5 m) whaleboat he named Elizabeth - during his attempt to reach the wreck of the Sydney Cove; that ran aground on Preservation Island, in Bass Strait. Wingan Inlet is the only significant geographical feature in the area, that could be described as a lagoon that could provide shelter for a small open boat. Otherwise Bass referred to the sheltered bay and beach area in front of Wingan Inlet, that was named Fly Cove by Bass.[5] Bass' party lost an anchor in the Cove, before continuing to navigate to Wilson's Promontory where they made an attempt to cross Bass Strait to reach the Sydney Cove. Due to bad weather and a leaking boat, Bass was forced to return to the mainland and continued west where he discovered and examined Western Port. On Bass' return voyage, they stopped at the lagoon near Cook's Ram Head to search, unsuccessfully for the whaleboat's anchor. Although Bass' expedition was unsuccessful in reaching the wreck of the Sydney Cove, due to weather and failing equipment. Upon his return to Sydney, Bass conveyed his observations of the tidal change along those parts of the coastline, and his belief of a strait separating The Mainland of Australia and Tasmania. Bass' speculations were confirmed in 1798–99, when he joined Matthew Flinders in the sloop Norfolk, when they circumnavigated Tasmania.

Wintergarden, Brisbane

Wintergarden is a shopping centre in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It contains over 60 specialty stores over three levels. The centre was developed by the Kern Corporation and constructed by subsidiary, Kern Construction. It was intended to create a retail focus to the 1982 Commonwealth Games. History The location previously operated as the 2000 seat Wintergarden Theatre cinema complex from 1924 until it closed in 1973 and was demolished in 1981. The original building was designed by Ballantyne & Hare of Melbourne. Hall & Prentice in Brisbane provided local design assistance. The theatre featured a Wurlitzer pipe organ which could be raised and lowered from the orchestra pit. In 1929 the rival Regent Theatre opened also in Queen Street. With the transfer of ownership of the theatre to the Kern Corporation in the 1970s, and plans for the construction of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre at South Bank, the Her Majesty's Theatre building next door to the Wintergarden was also marked for demolition and inclusion in the proposed new Wintergarden shopping centre. Shopping precinct development The development beginning in the 1980s covered two stages, the first provided for three levels of retail and a two-storey carpark above. It boasted several national retailers previously unknown to Brisbane shoppers and the first CBD food courts covering a variety of cuisines. It was opened by the Premier of Queensland, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, in 1982. In 1987 the second stage was developed adjacent to Stage 1 and comprised additional specialty shops, a multi-cuisine sit-down restaurant (again, a first for the city and originally operated for 24-hours), and the Hilton hotel which was intended to provide 5-star accommodation for World Expo 88. Hilton International Brisbane opened in October 1986. In November 2009, it was announced that a $100 million refurbishment of Wintergarden would take place in two 12-month stages. The Wintergarden's facade was enhanced on all three street frontages. As part of the exterior works, the old skybridge linking the Wintergarden to the David Jones department store was removed. In addition, screens were placed above each entrance, which feature programmed LED lighting. Redevelopment principal architect was The Buchan Group, and redevelopment façade architects were Studio 505. Redevelopment was completed in 2012.

Wittunga Botanic Garden

The Wittunga Botanic Garden is one of three botanic gardens in Adelaide, South Australia administered by the Botanic Gardens of South Australia, a State Government statutory authority; the other two are the Adelaide Botanic Garden, located in the inner city's parklands, and the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. The Wittunga garden is located on Shepherds Hill Road, Blackwood, on the western scarp of the Adelaide Hills. Beginning as a formal English garden at the home of Edwin Ashby in 1901, it changed over the years assisted by the efforts of Edwin's son, Arthur Keith Ashby to include South African and native Australian plants. Wittunga’s displays of these plants are especially spectacular in spring and include rich collections of Erica, Leucadendron, and Protea, complemented by displays of exotic and unusual bulbs and colourful annuals. The majority of the South African plants in the garden come from the Cape Province district which has a climate similar to that of Adelaide. The Australian collection features plants from the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island, southern Western Australia and includes a fine collection of eucalypts. Meandering pathways through the Terrace and Sandplain Gardens give visitors the opportunity to see these distinctive and colourful collections. Many different birds can be seen attracted by the good supplies of nectar produced by the flowers of plants in the collection. In 1965 Edwin Ashby's son Keith donated the garden to the State. It was opened to the public in 1975 and is managed by the Botanic Gardens of South Australia. The garden features several small rotunda with seating, lawns suitable for picnicking and a trail of interpretive botanical signage. Connected by a spillway, two ponds in the park support a variety of native water birds and amphibians. Among the resident birds are Pacific black ducks, Australian wood ducks, Australasian grebes and Eurasian coots. A population of Murray River turtles can often be seen basking on the surface or on the ponds' muddy banks during warmer months. In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate. Special events An annual outdoor concert occurs in March, and is coordinated by Lions Club of Blackwood Inc. The event was first held in 2003 and features live music, jazz and dance performances presented under the title of Wittunga Under the Stars. Previous performers have included the Bearded Gypsy Band, Zen Knights, New Orleans Ramblers, Studio Flamenco dancers and the St. John's Grammar School Band.

Wivenhoe Power Station

The Wivenhoe Power Station is situated between the Splityard Creek Dam and Lake Wivenhoe in the locality of Split Yard Creek, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. The Splityard Creek Dam is located in hills adjacent to Lake Wivenhoe and is about 100 metres (330 ft) above it. The power station is the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Queensland. The Wivenhoe Dam has been built across the Brisbane River about 80 kilometres (50 mi) by road from the centre of Brisbane, the capital of the state of Queensland, Australia. The body of water held behind the dam is called Lake Wivenhoe. Operation The pumped storage hydroelectricity power station consists of two circular concrete silos, each of about 32 metres (105 ft) internal diameter. Each of the silos houses a 285 megawatts (382,000 hp) turbine generator spinning at 120 rpm and pump set, giving a total capacity of 570 megawatts (760,000 hp). During the pumping phase in the operating cycle the generator operates as a 240 megawatts (320,000 hp) electric motor driving the pump to lift water from Lake Wivenhoe to the upper storage of the 28,600-megalitre Splityard Creek Dam. When peak demand for electricity occurs the flow of water is reversed, flowing from the upper to the lower storage and driving the turbine generator to generate electricity. The Splityard Creek Dam has sufficient capacity for 10 hours of continuous power generation. It takes about 14 hours of pumping to refill it. Wivenhoe is used in 20% of peak hours, reducing peak price obtained by other power plants. It earned almost $35 million when the Callide Power Station failed in 2021. The power station is owned and operated by CleanCo Queensland a Queensland Government owned corporation. Twin 275KV transmission lines connect the power station to Queensland's grid system. In 2021, a major overhaul of the station was undertaken. It included the repair and refurbishment of one of the turbines, corrosion protection painting of machinery and pipes, and repairs to a transformer. Wivenhoe Small Hydro A second hydro-electric power station known as Wivenhoe Small Hydro powered by water discharging from the Wivenhoe Dam into the Brisbane River commenced operation in March 2003. It has a much lower power output of 4.5 MW. In 2021, a major overhaul project was planned to preserve the reliability of the plant, and to create 100 new jobs in accordance to Australia's recovery plan from the COVID-19 pandemic.

ГАЕС Wivenhoe

ГАЕС Wivenhoe — гідроакумулювальна електростанція на сході Австралії. У своїй роботі використовує ресурси річки Брисбен, яка дренує східний схил Великого вододільного хребта та біля однойменного міста впадає у затоку Коралового моря Моретон-Бей. Станом на середину 2010-х четверта за потужністю ГЕС країни, яка поступається лише станціям Тумут 3, Муррей 1 і Муррей 2. У межах проєкту на Брисбені створили нижній резервуар Wivenhoe, для чого перекрили річку кам'яно-накидною греблею висотою 59 метрів та довжиною 2300 метрів, яка потребувала 4,14 млн м3 матеріалу. Вона утримує водойму, витягнуту більш ніж на три десятки кілометрів долиною Брисбена, з площею поверхні 108 км2 та об'ємом 1165 млн м3. Верхній резервуар Splityard Creek з площею поверхні 1 км2 та об'ємом 28,6 млн м3 облаштували в долині струмка Pryde Creek, лівої притоки Брисбена. Для цього звели так само кам'яно-накидну греблю висотою 76 метрів та довжиною 1140 метрів, яка потребувала 3,37 млн м3 матеріалу. Машинний зал станції розташований на березі нижнього резервуару та за 0,3 км від верхнього сховища. Його обладнали двома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 250 МВт, а також з'єднаними з ними у складі гідроагрегатів насосами. Це обладнання працює у гідроакумулювальному режимі при напорі від 64 до 117,5 метра та розраховане на виробництво 0,45 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Об'єм верхнього сховища дозволяє станції виробляти продукцію протягом 10 годин та потребує для зворотнього заповнення 14 годин. Зв'язок з енергосистемою відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 275 кВ. Примітки
