Bryant and May Factory, Melbourne

The Bryant and May Factory, located in the Cremorne area of Richmond in Melbourne, is notable for its distinctive red brick buildings, and as the location for the manufacture of Australia's most popular brand of matches through much of the 20th century. Bryant & May adopted the brand name Redheads in 1946, and it is still the most popular match in the country, although now manufactured in Sweden. Bryant and May are also notable for operating as a model factory, providing workers with conditions and amenities which even today seem generous. These included a dining hall and sports facilities such as a tennis court and bowling green which were constructed in the 1920s. Bryant and May ceased Australian match manufacture in early 1987 as a result of import competition. Their iconic Redheads matches are now imported from Sweden. The complex has since been converted for use as offices and showrooms but is extremely well preserved. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The Bryant and May complex at 560 Church Street, Richmond, comprises a series of factory buildings, dominated by a major freestanding redbrick 3-4 storey building, complete with clock tower, running back from the Church Street frontage. This is visible from some distance on three sides across local streets and carparks, and from the nearby elevated rail lines. The front 3/4 of the building running back from Church Street was the first built, in 1909, designed by prolific Melbourne architect William Pitt. It is a typically Melbourne Edwardian design, in bold red brick with cement dressings, with bays defined by red brick piers which are carried through the rendered balustrade, creating a long rhythmic facade on the south side. The front facade features finer piers, spandrels with Art Nouveau foliated decoration, a large entry arch, the lettering B & M above, topped by an unusual pierced arched pediment. Other smaller buildings were added across a small lane on the north side in 1910 and 1917 in a matching style. A large addition was made to the rear (west) of the building in 1921–22, designed by Klingender & Hamilton, in matching red brick but in a Stripped Classical style. This addition has an extra floor, with prominent signage, and a clock tower on the north side and the clock face bears the name BRYANT AND MAY in place of numbers. A new chimney stack, boiler house, offices and Brymay Hall, also designed by Klingender & Hamilton, were also added at this time.

Geelong Customs House

The Geelong Customs House is a bluestone and freestone classical style public building in Geelong, Victoria, built in 1855. It replaced a small timber prefabricated building of 1838, which was later relocated to the Geelong Botanic Gardens. The Customs House was erected near the Geelong foreshore to serve the needs of the colonial administration during the peak of the gold rushes. The building was designed by John James Clark and constructed by William Crocker Cornish in April 1855. The Geelong Customs House is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and City of Greater Geelong Heritage Overlay. The building is no longer used for its original purpose, but was restored in 2012, winning a National Trust Award. It previously housed offices and the 'Custom House Restaurant and Wine Bar'. As of September 2024, the City of Greater Geelong announced it would refurbish the interior of the building to house a new Design and Creative Hub. References

Hawthorn railway station, Melbourne

Hawthorn is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the eastern suburb of the same name, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Hawthorn opened on 13 April 1861 and was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 20 August 1982 in recognition of its historical significance. History Hawthorn station was opened when the railway line from Pic-nic was extended across the Yarra River. When it opened, Hawthorn was a terminus, with a single platform, which is the current Platform 1. In 1882, after the line was extended to Camberwell, an additional platform was constructed. In 1890, an island platform was provided to accommodate the newly opened branch line to Kew, using a canopy from the original Flinders Street station. In 1963, a third track was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell, which was extended across the Yarra River to Burnley in 1972. The third track allows bi-directional running on the middle track for express services during peak hour. A signal box at the station was abolished in that same year. In late 1972, the 12:01 am goods train to Hawthorn, and the 2:55 am goods train to Box Hill, previously scheduled to operate on Mondays only, were both cancelled, and the Tuesday-Friday schedule of the 12:01 am Melbourne Yard to Box Hill goods train was expanded to run on Mondays as well, serving Burnley, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Box Hill. That change was made because the ability to reverse trains at Hawthorn had been removed, meaning that goods trains could no longer run from the city to Hawthorn only. In 1973, bulk briquette handling facilities were abolished at the station and, by 1977, the goods yard had been closed altogether, with the siding and connection to the yard abolished in 1978. By the mid 1980s, the station had not been well maintained for many years and was in a dilapidated state. In 1984, the Victorian State Government, with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (The Met), approved a $300,000 face-lift of the station, which included repainting, the re-panelling of the waiting room, the re-cladding of the canopies, and landscaping. The refurbishment was completed by May 1986. Platforms and services Hawthorn has one island platform and one side platform, and is served by Lilydale, Belgrave and Alamein line trains.

Heidelberg Town Hall

Heidelberg Town Hall is a civic building located on Upper Heidelberg Road in Ivanhoe, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. It is now more commonly known as The Centre Ivanhoe. Opened in April 1937, the building was designed by architectural firm Peck & Kemter in association with A.C. Leith & Bartlett for the Heidelberg City Council (now Banyule City Council) and was influenced by the Hilversum Town Hall in the Netherlands. It listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, described as "the greatest and most eloquent expression of the interwar brick Moderne style in Victoria." The architects were awarded the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (RVIA) Street Architecture Medal for 1939 for the building. The ’Berg Not long after the town hall opened the council engaged Bill Glennon to organise public dances on Wednesday and Saturday nights. An 18-piece dance band played in the Great Hall, two smaller downstairs rooms– the Streeton and Condor rooms has separate dances each featuring different music styles. The Streeton room featured ‘old-time’ music and the Condor Room, Jazz. Free buses brought patrons from Melbourne’s Northern suburbs. The dances were hugely popular, over 2000 people would attend on a Saturday night. Many locals recount meeting their spouses at the ’Berg. The dances continued until the 1970s.

Hughesdale railway station

Hughesdale station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Murrumbeena, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It opened on 28 February 1925, with the current station being provided in August 2018. History Like the adjoining suburb, Hughesdale station was named in honour of James Vincent Hughes, mayor of Oakleigh from 1924 to 1925. He, with the Poath Road Railway Station League, had lobbied strongly for a new station for the area. Before the station was built, Hughesdale was the site of the junctions of both the Outer Circle and Rosstown lines with the Dandenong/Gippsland line. In 1972, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the former Poath Road level crossing, which was at the up end of the former ground-level station. In 1977, the former ground-level station building was rebuilt, after the original station building, which was of a timber construction, was destroyed by fire in 1975. In 2016, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced a grade separation project to eliminate the Poath Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station. On 14 October 2017, the station was closed, and was demolished on 28 October of that year. On 25 August 2018, the rebuilt station opened about 250 metres (820 ft) west of the former station, as part of construction of the new section of elevated rail line between Caulfield and Oakleigh. Consequently, the station is now located in the suburb of Murrumbeena rather than Hughesdale. Platforms and services Hughesdale has one island platform with two faces and is served by Pakenham and Cranbourne line trains.

Kananook railway station

Kananook station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Seaford, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was opened on 25 August 1975, with the current station building provided in 2007. History Kananook station is named after the nearby Kananook Creek. In March 1974, to allow for the building of the station, the existing up and down lines were slewed. At the same time, the Klauer Street overpass, at the up end of the station, was provided, replacing the Wells Road level crossing. In 1991, parts of the station were upgraded, including the pedestrian overpass and car park. The station was featured in the first episode of the television series Sensing Murder, which aired on Network Ten in September 2004. In 2007, upgrades to the station were carried out, as part of the EastLink road project, which linked Ringwood to Frankston. The original station building, of fibro construction, was at the centre of the station, with two semi-enclosed waiting areas on the platforms and a disused booking office near the station entrance. The building was demolished and replaced with a shelter, and a noise-protection wall was constructed. To the north of the station is the Kananook Train Storage Facility, which was opened in May 2020. Platforms and services Kananook has one island platform with two faces and is served by Frankston line trains.

King's College, Warrnambool

King's College, Warrnambool is a private, co-educational Christian school located in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1986 and provides education from Kindergarten through to Year 12. History In 1983, members of the Presbyterian Church in Warrnambool began discussing the possibility of establishing a Christian school for the local community. The school was registered in August 1984 as 'Warrnambool Presbyterian School Ltd'. The following year the Balmoral Road location was purchased for AUD$93,000. In 1986, King's College opened, using a small room they had rented in town. Initially, there were 19 students. The year after, they moved to the Balmoral Road site, where some portable classrooms were set up and the first building, a toilet block, was constructed. There were 26 students that year. 1990 saw the appointment of King's College's first principal, Peter Bosker. There were 106 students enrolled that year. Bosker served as principal for 3 years with Neil Benfell later taking over. Benfell was not new to the school, however, as the founding of the school is largely attributed to him. In 1997, King's College began to offer preschool classes, and in 1998, they began to branch into secondary schooling. This involved an initial class of Year 7s in 1998, who became the first of each year level as they progressed through. This meant that the first Year 12s graduated from King's College in December 2003. Ian McKay took over as principal from 2011 to 2016, when Neil Benfell retired after almost two decades. In 2017, Allister Rouse was appointed Principal. References External links Website Facebook
Lilydale Airport

Lilydale Airport (ICAO: YLIL) is a privately owned aerodrome located in the regional suburb of Yering, Victoria, Australia approximately 6 km north of Lilydale. The airport offers flight training, air charters, aircraft rentals and skydiving. About Lilydale Airport is one of two airports in the Yarra Valley serving the general aviation needs of outer eastern Melbourne, with the other being Coldstream Airport. The low-lying grass runways flood with the nearby Yarra River during severe rainfall and can occasionally remain submerged after an intense downpour. With the Christmas Hills to the west, on colder mornings with nil wind the strip has a chance to be covered with a thin layer of fog delaying early morning flights. Incidents On 24 March 2018 the pilot of a Cessna 340 was on a private flight from Bankstown, New South Wales to Lilydale, Victoria. The aircraft was operating under the instrument flight rules (IFR). The aircraft arrived at Lilydale at 12:05 AEDT. During descent into Lilydale the pilot reported passing through broken cloud and becoming visual with the airfield. The pilot then cancelled IFR and proceeded to overfly the airfield to inspect the runway and windsock. The windsock indicated little wind. There was rain forecast in the area and showers in the vicinity, however there was no rain reported over the airfield at the time of arrival. The pilot conducted a normal approach and touched down 250-300 m down the 850 m grass runway. After touchdown, the pilot applied moderate braking force. After realising that the aircraft was not slowing, the pilot applied further braking. The aircraft failed to slow and the pilot confirmed the throttles were at idle and pumped the brakes. The aircraft continued to slide down the runway. As the aircraft approached the end of the runway, the pilot applied full left rudder to turn the aircraft which resulted in a slight veer to the left. The aircraft collided with an embankment at the end of the runway, passed over a road and coming to rest against a fence (Figure 1). The aircraft was substantially damaged and the pilot was not injured. Post-flight it was determined that the airfield had received significant rain within around 1 hour before the landing which may have resulted in aquaplaning. The pilot reported that flap was set at 30 degrees for landing, less than the maximum available of 40 degrees. Contributing factors to the overrun include; wet grass runway (with possible standing water) nil wind conditions selection of less than full flap touchdown one third down the runway.

Majorca Building

The Majorca Building is a historic office building in Melbourne, Australia, completed in 1930. Located at 258-260 Flinders Lane, it was designed by Harry Norris in an exotic Spanish /Moorish style, in strongly coloured faience. History Flinders Lane was in the heart of the rag trade in Melbourne and was lined with fabric warehouses. The Majorca Building was built on the corner of Centre Place, which provided access to the Centreway Arcade, and it terminates the vista looking north along Degraves Street, another laneway. Together, they provided access through from Flinders Street and its railway station to Collins, becoming a busy pedestrian thoroughfare. The Majorca Building Co was formed in 1927, with the directors being Alfred and George Nicholas, who had made a fortune from Aspro, and built the nearby Nicholas Building in 1926, also designed by Norris. The brothers had been born in the hamlet of Majorca north of Ballarat, and likely named the company and the building after their home town. The Majorca Building was originally designed as office space, with shops at ground level, and more shops at first floor level. In 1993 it was converted to residential apartments. Design Architect Harry Norris was a frequent visitor to the United States in the interwar period, inspiring designs in styles that had not been seen in Victoria before, including Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco. Majorca House has a general form similar to earlier Flinders Lane buildings, with a tall base, surmounted by tall narrow aches, but in an entirely original style, blending classical, Spanish and Moorish elements, no doubt inspired by the Spanish island of Majorca. The facade is executed entirely in faience, mostly in a deep oceanic blue, with foliated and rope moulded ornament in gold and, and detailing above the shop fronts that includes fish and shells. The foyer, which features terrazzo and inlaid stone, is especially rich. When nearing completion in August 1929 it was hailed as an important "change in the beauty of Melbourne's architecture". A Heritage Victoria database entry for Majorca House, says: "The Moorish influence in its terracotta façade places it firmly within the Melbourne tradition of exotic architecture in the late 1920s.", and that is Norris' best work incorporating faience. The Majorca Building is a natural progression from Norris's other celebrated building in Spanish style, the Kellow Falkiner Car Showrooms on St Kilda Road, South Yarra, completed in 1928.
