Katedra św. Patryka w Ballarat

Katedra św. Patryka w Ballarat – kościół biskupi rzymskokatolickiej diecezji Ballarat w Ballarat wybudowany w 1863 roku w stylu neogotyckim. Katedra została zbudowana w latach 1858-1863 według projektu miejscowych architektów Shaw i Dowden, ale bazowała na projekcie angielskiego architekta Charlesa Hansoma. Historia Nabożeństwa katolickie odbywały się w Ballarat od 1851 r., jednak parafia Ballarat została ustanowiona w 1852 r. Pierwszym proboszczem był ksiądz Matthew Downing. 7 lutego 1858 roku biskup James Alipius Goold położył kamień węgielny pod budowę kościoła, który zaczął być regularnie używany do Mszy św. w 1863 roku. Był to jedyny kościół parafialny w Ballarat od 1863 do 1963 roku. Oficjalne otwarcie kościoła nastąpiło w 1871 roku, a kiedy diecezja Ballarat została utworzona w 1874 roku, pierwszy biskup dr Michael O’Connor wybrał go na swoją katedrę. Kiedy katedra św. Patryka w Ballarat została ostatecznie konsekrowana w 1891 roku przez kardynała Morana z Sydney, była to pierwsza katolicka katedra konsekrowana w koloniach australijskich, co czyni ją dziś najstarszą w Australii. Wnętrze Obecny ołtarz główny i stacje drogi krzyżowej zostały zakupione w Rzymie. Ołtarz jest wykonany z marmuru. Pierwsze organy zostały zainstalowane w 1867 roku. Witraże Pierwszy witraż, który został wstawiony w 1883 roku znajduje się nad prezbiterium. Następnie wykonane zostało okno kaplicy Matki Bożej i okno kaplicy Najświętszego Sakramentu. Te trzy okna zostały wykonane w Niemczech. Pozostałe były stopniowo dodawane, aż do ukończenia w 1910 roku. Pierwszą z nich zaprezentowały siostry loretańskie reprezentujące św. Brygidę. Po przeciwnej stronie znajduje się witraż przedstawiający św. Patryka podarowane przez trzeciego biskupa, biskupa Higginsa. Boczne okna przedstawiają przypowieści.

Dickson House, Rostrevor, Adelaide

The Dickson House (1950) is the residence of architect Robert Dickson and his partner Lilian, located at Wandilla Drive in Rostrevor, South Australia. The house design commenced in 1949, three years into his architectural studies and in 1951 he took a year off to build it. Situated on a sloping side opposite the Morialta Conservation Park, the site characteristics, topography, orientation, views, and approach dictate the planning arrangement, while responding to local materials and a limited budget. In 2009 the house was listed as a state heritage place on the South Australian Heritage Register, a gratifying achievement for Dickson as a simple contemporary, student-designed house built in 1950 is not commonly associated with heritage listing. Its significance is reported as follows:Dickson House at Rostrevor has unique and significant associations with the life and work of Robert Dickson, and demonstrates a high degree of creative, aesthetic and technical accomplishment as well as being an influential representative of modern organic design and construction. In particular, the way in which the place relates to its site, its outstanding quality and integrity, and the fact that it has been internationally recognised as one of Australia's most architecturally-notable mid-20th-century houses provide it with outstanding significance in the context of South Australia's architectural development.

Mitchell House, Melbourne

Mitchell House is an historic six-storey Streamline Moderne commercial building located at 352-362 Lonsdale Street, on the corner of Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, Australia. It was built in 1937 for the Mitchell Brush Company, and designed by prolific architect Harry Norris. History Mitchell House was built for Thomas Mitchell & Co, a long-established firm of brushware manufacturers. Their major brand name was Victor, with a logo of the name encircled by a wreath. The company occupied a site at 360 Lonsdale Street since the 1890s, and acquired the Commonwealth Hotel on the corner of Elizabeth and Lonsdale Streets in 1916; the hotel was described as one of Melbourne's oldest. In 1936 Mitchell's commissioned architect Harry Norris to design their headquarters. It was initially designed as a ten-storey building up to the maximum height limit of 132 ft (40 meters), and out to the northern edge of the site. What was built by 1937 was only 6 levels, and well short of the northern boundary - this was described as the first stage, with the rest to come later. It was built by Hansen & Yuncken in only five months, at a cost of £150,000. The company's original premises on Lonsdale Street, on the other side of a narrow laneway now called Mitchell Lane, was connected to the main building by elevated walkways, and its facade would be remodelled at a later date. Mitchell's had their showroom on the second floor of the new building, and the other floors and the shops on the ground floor were tenanted. In 1940 they vacated the building for use by the cartographic section of the Australian Survey Corps, and never moved back. The building was sold in 1970, and the Mitchell company was dissolved in 1986. The building was classified on 9 July 1987 by the National Trust, and added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2010. In January 2024, the Australian Financial Review reported that after more than 50 years' ownership, the Krongold family had sold the building, as well as the two shops to the north, to a 'Chinese syndicate partnered with a local investor'. Architecture Mitchell House is a six-storey reinforced concrete commercial building in a Streamlined Moderne style, with a dominant horizontal emphasis, with bands of steel-framed windows and spandrels with incised 'speed lines' wrapping around the curved corner. On the Elizabeth Street frontage near the corner is a vertical element, defined by a pair of fluted piers, topped by the name Mitchell House in gilded letters, while on the base at the second floor is a panel with 'The Victor' logo. Mitchell House is also written in steel lettering along the second floor spandrel on each side. There is a similar vertical element on the west end of the Lonsdale Street elevation, marking the office floor entry. There is a pair of ornate Art Deco wrought iron gates across the end of Mitchell Lane. The ground floor shopfronts are largely intact. The entrance foyer is also intact, with the original doors, green faience tiles, a terrazzo floor in a pink and green, and a striking barrel-vaulted ceiling. The office floors are more utilitarian.

Connor's Cottage

Connor's Cottage is situated on Piesse Street in Toodyay, Western Australia. It was constructed about 1870 for Daniel Connor, a significant identity in the history of the development of the Toodyay town and district. The cottage is on one of the first large landholdings Connor acquired in the town site, on the corner of Stirling Terrace and Piesse Street. It is most likely the cottage was built by George Henry Hasell who also built the adjacent flour mill (Connor's Mill) for Connor around the same time. Another large residence (Connor's House) was built on the lot in about 1890. Connor's Cottage is a single storey, painted brick building with a corrugated iron roof. A verandah extends around much of the building. Whilst originally built as a dwelling, the building has also been used as a bakery and restaurant, and a number of extensions have taken place over the years. The origin of the alternative name, Ted Chapman's Cottage, has not been confirmed. Today the Toodyay Visitor Centre is located in between Connor's Mill and Connor's Cottage. References
Demasson's House and Shop

Demasson's House and Shop is situated on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. It was constructed in two stages. The shop was built around 1872 for Daniel Connor. By 1875 William Amed Demasson, a carpenter wheelwright from Guildford, Western Australia, had added a dwelling with a connecting door to the store, which was at the time run by his wife. In 1886 Demasson purchased the store from Connor. Land titles show the Toodyay Road Board purchased the dwelling from Amy Twine in 1945. When the doctor's residence and surgery in Lincoln Street were demolished for the standard gauge railway in 1963, this dwelling was rented to Dr. P. O'Reilly and the shop became his surgery. Mrs O'Reilly was given life-time occupancy of the dwelling after her husband died in 1981; she remained there until she died in October 2005. The building is still commonly referred to as Mrs. O'Reilly's Cottage. In 2010 the Royalties for Regions programme was able to fund renovation works to the building. In recent years portions of the premises have been used as a gallery, the Toodyay Society/Toodyay Historical Society headquarters and as a home for Shire of Toodyay employees. References
Lake Barracoota

Lake Barracoota is a naturally forming permanent freshwater lake located in the East Gippsland region in the Australian state of Victoria. The lake is located entirely within the Croajingolong National Park and when full, the surface area of the lake is 240 hectares (590 acres). The eastern shoreline of the lake lie against a granite spur of the Howe Range but all other shorelines are backed by dune sand or swamp deposits. Beaches at the eastern and western shores and spits along the southern shore are formed from sand blown into the lake from coastal dunes and which is being moved by wave and wave currents. Sand is spilling into the lake from active parabolic dunes at two points along the southern shore. Other lake shorelines are fringed by Baumea rubiginosa, Eleocharis sphacelata and Trigloching procera, with Phragmites australis at points of fresh water inflow. Behind the reeds and sedges are extensive thickets. See also Croajingolong National Park Mallacoota References External links "8822-6 Howe Flat - Lake Barracoota morphology" (map).

Dr Growse's House

Dr Growse's House is located on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia and was constructed in the early 1860s, possibly with convict labour. Arthur Edwardes Growse was the medical officer at Toodyay from 1856 to 1872 and again from 1876 until his death in 1877. In 1884 William Mayhew moved into the house, and renovated and added the downstairs verandah. In 1902 the Sisters of Mercy purchased the house, having built a convent school on adjacent land. The infant school and music room were located in the building. The building, also known as the Ship, has been extended and adapted as requirements have changed. It is a two-storey brick and render structure. It has an enclosed verandah on the first floor with timber lattice panels. It has a corrugated iron roof with a bullnose verandah roof, and timber framed sash windows. References
Karara mine

The Karara mine is a large iron mine located in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Karara has estimated reserves of 2 billion tonnes of ore grading 35.5% iron metal. It is one of the few magnetite producers in Western Australia. It is owned by Ansteel Group (52.16%) and Gindalbie Metals (47.84%). The mine is operated by Karara Mining Limited. Timeline In 2011, steelwork for the Karara project was delayed by major floods in Thailand. In 2014, production was increased by over 35% in the June quarter, with more than 2 million tons of iron ore being shipped. Despite the increase the project was still not making a profit. Transport The Karara mine is linked to the Arc Infrastructure network by the 79-kilometre (49 mi) long Karara railway. The ore would be initially transported by a narrow gauge railway to the existing port of Geraldton in quantities up to 10 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). When a standard gauge railway is built to a new port at Oakajee, the tonnage would increase to at least 30 Mtpa. The common part of the narrow gauge and standard gauge routes will be dual gauge. The Karara branch joins the main line just north of Morawa. References

Rolleston coal mine

The Rolleston Coal Mine is an open-cut coal mine located in Central Queensland, Australia, with reserves amounting to 600 million tonnes of thermal coal. The mine has an annual production capacity of 14 million tonnes. It is one of numerous coal mines in the Bowen Basin. The mine is wholly owned by Glencore. Xstrata acquired it from Mount Isa Mines in 2003, proceeded with development, and began mining operations in 2005. Glencore merged with Xstrata in 2013. Winfield Energy acquired the 12.5% interest formerly held by Itochu in February 2019. Glencore acquired Winfield Energy's 12.5% in January 2021 and Sumitomo's 12.5% later that year, giving it 100% ownership. Rolleston Mine is approved to produce six million tonnes per year for export and two million for domestic use. Coal is exported from the mine via the Port of Gladstone. The majority of the mine's haulage is conducted under contract by Aurizon using electric locomotives. Coal from the mine is also used to power the Gladstone Power Station. Floods Excess water filled the mine pits in 2010, affecting production, and the mine was forced to declare force majeure after the 2010–2011 Queensland floods affected rail operations. Expansion An application to expand the mine was made to the federal government on 17 May 2011. The mine is located within the Fitzroy River basin which flows into the Coral Sea. An expansion of mining operations may indirectly affect the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park through sedimentation and the pollution of waterways. The expansion would lift production almost threefold to between 15 and 20 million tonnes a year. See also Coal in Australia List of mines in Australia References
Jack Hills mine

The Jack Hills mine is a haematite iron ore mine located 400 kilometres (250 mi) northeast of Geraldton and 165 kilometres (103 mi) northwest of Cue in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Murchison Metals began mining operations at Jack Hills on 21 September 2006, with a projected mine life of five years. The first shipment of ore was made in February 2007. Ore was trucked by road to the port of Geraldton for export. Mining was suspended in November 2012 and the project was placed on care and maintenance in June 2013. The Jack Hills mine was initially owned and operated by Murchison Metals. Mitsubishi Corporation paid Murchison Metals A$150 million for an initial 50% stake in the mine in 2007 and a further A$325 million for the remainder in 2012. In 2019 the inactive project was sold to Sinosteel Ocean Capital. References External links MINEDEX website: Jack Hills Database of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety
Diamantina Power Station

Diamantina Power Station is a combined-cycle gas turbine electricity generation plant in Mount Isa, Queensland. It was developed by APA Group and AGL Energy at a cost of $570 million. Siemens Energy supplied two blocks each with one steam turbine, two gas turbines and two heat-recovery steam generators, with supplementary firing burners. Construction commenced in 2012. It became operational in mid-2014 with a generating capacity of 328 MW when combined with 60 MW provided by the adjacent Leichhardt Power Station and 26 MW Thompson Power Station. On 1 October 2014, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission gave authorisation for the power station owner along with the operator of other generating equipment in the city, Stanwell Corporation, to manage electricity supplied to the North West Power System. However, from 1 January 2020, Diamantina Power Station Pty Ltd became the only major generator on the North West Power System when Stanwell Corporation placed Mica Creek Power Station into cold storage.

Duranbah Beach

Duranbah Beach ( dew-RAN-bah), officially known as Flagstaff Beach, but also known as Dbah is the northernmost beach in New South Wales. Located in the Tweed Shire, Duranbah Beach is situated between the mouth of the Tweed River and the rocky headland Point Danger which also marks the Queensland-New South Wales border. The beach is 350 meters in length with vegetated dunes running along 200 metres. The southern end of the beach features BBQs, sheltered picnic areas including a block of toilets and shower just behind it. Duranbah Beach is well known by surfers for its surf break and large swell. It is recognised both nationally and internationally as having a powerful, high-quality surf break for both surfers and boogs (a boog getting a barrel shown in the image). Big surfing events have been staged there including the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, the professional surfing contest which was held in conjunction with Snapper Rocks and the state, national and international bodyboarding contests. Surf conditions Duranbah Beach is popular for its surf conditions. The beach faces east, which exposes it to high wave energy and high longshore rates. The waves are predominantly from the south-easterly side; however, they can come from all seaward directions. The waves are on average 1.3 metres and have reached six metres in height during a king tide. There are often persistent rips and strong tidal currents which make the beach a potentially hazardous place to swim. Local Beach History In 1956 Jack Evans built the Snapper Rocks Sea Baths, with an adjacent shark pool for public viewing. The pools moved to the adjacent Tweed River mouth in 1961.

John-Forrest-Nationalpark

i2i3i6 Der 27 km² große John-Forrest-Nationalpark befindet sich in Western Australia 24 km östlich von Perth und ist Teil des Hills Forest. Dieser Park war der erste Nationalpark in Western Australia und der zweite in Australien überhaupt nach der Gründung des Royal-Nationalparks. Der Park liegt südlich der Great Eastern Highway. Geschichte Gegründet wurde der Park 1898 als Erholungsgebiet und zwei Jahre später Greenmount National Park benannt. Einige Jahre später erfolgte seine Umbenennung nach Sir John Forrest, dem ersten Premierminister des Bundesstaats Western Australia. Erreicht werden konnte der Park schon ab 1890 mit der Eisenbahn, der Eastern Railway. Diese Bahnlinie wurde 1966 verlegt und der alte Bahndamm verblieb einschließlich des Swan View Tunnel im Park. Landschaft Während der Großen Depression in den 1930er-Jahren wurden in unmittelbarer Nähe zum John-Forrest-Nationalpark Gebäude mit einer Taverne erstellt, die inzwischen teilweise restauriert sind. Die 1936 gebaute National Park Railway Station und der Swan View Tunnel werden ebenso häufig wie die Wasserfälle National Park Falls und Hovea Falls im Park fotografiert. Für die Besucher gibt es Grillplätze, Toiletten, Wanderwege (John Forrest Heritage Trail, Glen Brook Walk Trail und Eage View Walk Trail) und Strecken für Pferde und Mountainbikes. An verschiedenen Stellen ragen Felsen aus dem Hartgestein Basalt aus dem Untergrund. Im Park leben Beuteltiere, wie Känguru-Arten, Schwarzschwanz-Beutelmarder, Honigbeutler, Bilchbeutler, und Vögel, wie Honigfresser und Papageien-Arten. Ferner gibt es dort Echsen-Arten, wie den Goanna. Zahlreiche Eukalyptusbäume und Sträucher sowie andere Pflanzen- und Pilz-Arten wachsen im Park. Weblinks John Forrest National Park.
