Walhalla Cricket Ground

The Walhalla Cricket Ground is a landmark in Walhalla, Victoria, Australia. Linked by a walking track from Walhalla Road, the cricket ground is perched at the top of a hill. Because there was a lack of flat ground in the township the mining community, in their spare time, carved the top off the mountain to construct a ground, this work being completed in 1882. It is claimed that the half-hour climb up the hill to reach the ground, in conjunction with the long trip to Walhalla itself, ensured a home advantage. In the heyday of Walhalla's goldmining era, the ground was used for organised sporting events, including those of the Walhalla Football Association. Since large-scale mining stopped in 1910, the ground has largely been a tourist destination and curiosity, though it remained the site of occasional social cricket matches. It is referenced in Weddings Parties Anything's song "The Ghosts of Walhalla". In January 1870, following an encouraging series of successes against teams such as Sale, Toongabbie and Tanjil, it was decided to officially form a Cricket Club in Walhalla. Mt William Gairdner, a prominent mining manager, was elected the first President of the club - which was referred to as the "Walhalla Eleven." Among the first actions of this group was the petitioning of the Victorian Government to permanently reserve the land that they had selected and to circulate and raise subscriptions for the further clearing of the area which today forms Walhalla's unique cricket ground. In 2017 extensive restoration work was carried out on the playing surface before the bushfire of February 2019 completely destroyed the playing surface, synthetic pitch and the surrounding bush. The ground was subsequently fully restored. See also Victorian gold rush References External links Walhalla Cricket Ground – Where is it and how long will it take me to get there?

Wallcliffe House

Wallcliffe House was a heritage listed two-storey stone, shingle and corrugated iron homestead located near Prevelly and the mouth of the Margaret River in Western Australia. It was built by George Holland Knapton for owners Alfred and Ellen Bussell (née Heppingstone) between 1857 and 1865 in the Victorian-Georgian style, using limestone quarried on the property and pit-sawn jarrah. Wallcliffe was the centerpiece of the Bussell family's 24,000-hectare (59,000-acre) estate which extended from Cowaramup to the Donnelly River. Before moving to Wallcliffe, the Bussells lived at "Ellensbrook", a 4-hectare (10-acre) holding several miles north of the Margaret River on the northern edge of their lease. In 1876, Grace Bussell and Sam Isaacs helped save the lives of around 50 people as the SS Georgette sunk off nearby Calgardup Bay. The property went out of the Bussell family in 1896, when it was sold to Busselton farmer Richard Gale, after the Union Bank of Australia foreclosed. In 1902 Gale onsold the estate to A. C. R. Loaring and Neil McLeod, who later sold Wallcliffe House and 16 hectares (40 acres) of land to Filumena Terry (née Bussell) in 1910/11. The property stayed in the Bussell/Terry family until 1987. The southern coastal portion of the Wallcliffe property was sold in 1953 to be used as a caravan park and for camping. That area was subsequently subdivided and parts later became the township of Prevelly. In 1988–89 Wallcliffe House was renovated extensively by the then owners Mark and Cate Hohnen and since then has been used for private purposes. The property is currently owned by Rose Chaney, wife of prominent Western Australian businessman Michael Chaney. In November 2011 the homestead was destroyed by a major bushfire in the area.

Wanda Beach

Wanda Beach or Wanda is the northernmost patrolled beach at Bate Bay in Cronulla, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Green Hills or Green Hills Ridge is the name given to the Cronulla sand dunes, just north of Wanda. History The original inhabitants of the land were the Gweagal Aborigines who were a clan of the Tharawal (or Dharawal) tribe of Indigenous Australians. They are the traditional custodians of the southern geographic areas of Sydney. Wanda is an Aboriginal word for beach or sand hills. The Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club was established in 1946 after World War II by a group of men who banded together, as they did in warfare, to patrol the beaches. The colours of Army red, Air Force blue, and Navy blue were adopted as the club colours. The club, located on Marine Esplanade, has grown in size to its current membership of over 900 male and female members, ranging in age from five-year-old Nippers to the original Founding Members. The primary objective of the club is to patrol the beach in an effort to ensure the safety of the surfing public but it is also actively involved in the competition arena, with excellent performances at State and National Competitions. A number of social activities are organised throughout the year to bring together members from all sections of the club. In 1965 the beach became notorious after the Wanda Beach Murders.

Wantirna College

Wantirna College is a state-government secondary school in Wantirna, Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1980 when the surrounding area was developed from fruit orchards into housing estates. The school services Wantirna and Wantirna South, as well as parts of Boronia, and Bayswater. Approximately 1250 students are enrolled at the college in addition to approximately 85 teaching and 30 non-teaching staff. The school offers a comprehensive curriculum for students studying years seven through to twelve, which includes the Victorian Certificate of Education for students in years ten to twelve and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning for students in years 11 and 12. The college will receive $11 million from the 2022–2023 Victorian state budget. History The college was founded in 1980 when the surrounding area was developed from orchards to housing estates for potential middle class residents. The nearest high schools at the time were Vermont, Highvale and Bayswater. The establishment of Wantirna College catered for this urban growth. In 1980, only Year 7 was available; in 1981, both Year 7 and 8 were available, and in subsequent years another year level was added until the school finally reached its full strength with Year 12 commencing in 1985. Construction has been a frequent sight at the college with facilities for students being built or improved. 2001 additions include a new VCE Study/Common Room with kitchen and computer facilities which opened in May 2006, an expanded music area which opened in April 2004 along with new lockers, G block classrooms and a library a few years earlier. Recently, the college completed additional construction projects in a bid to make the college facilities similar to those available in United States public high schools. These facilities include the new Senior Year General Learning block and the refurbishment of the existing Year 7 Learning Centre. These buildings comprise classrooms, IT labs, collaborative learning spaces and staff-rooms. A new cafeteria includes indoor dining and substantial commercial kitchen facilities (now operated by an external party). Construction incorporated a new Theatre including rehearsal rooms, storage areas, control rooms and car parking. Extensive landscape, both hard and soft, was also completed. These works were carried out simultaneously on multiple sites within the school grounds. Transport The college is serviced by the public 738 bus route, which runs between Westfield Knox and Mitcham railway station runs every 30 minutes during peak and every hour off-peak. There are also public chartered school buses which service the college before and after school each day. There is also a small staff car park adjacent to the college. The majority of students travel to and from school by either walking or via private vehicles. Smaller numbers of students catch public buses or cycle. References

ГЕС Варрагамба — гідроелектростанція на сході Австралії. Розташована на річці Варрагамба, лівій притоці Nepean, яка в свою чергу є правим витоком Hawkesbury (впадає в Тасманове море за чотири десятки кілометрів на північ від Сіднея). У межах проекту Варрагамбу перекрили бетонною гравітаційною греблею висотою 142 метри та довжиною 351 метр, яка потребувала 1251 тис. м3 матеріалу. Вона утримує велике водосховище Burragorang з площею поверхні 75 км2 і об'ємом 2031 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 1886 млн м3), котре витягнулось на кілька десятків кілометрів по долині річки та її витоків Coxs і Wollondilly. Пригреблевий машинний зал обладнали однією турбіною типу Френсіс потужністю 50 МВт, яка працює при напорі у 100 метрів. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 132 кВ. Можливо відзначити, що до верхньої частини сточища Варрагамби (до сховища Wingecarribee, правої притоки Wollondilly) за допомогою ГАЕС Kangaroo Valley здійснюється деривація ресурсу з розташованого південніше сточища річки Shoalhaven, яка так само дренує східний схил Великого вододільного хребта і впадає у Тасманове море за сотню кілометрів на південь від Сіднея.
