Ursula Frayne Catholic College

The Ursula Frayne Catholic College is a dual-campus independent Roman Catholic co-educational primary and secondary day school, located southeast of Perth, Western Australia. Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are educated at the Balmoral street campus in East Victoria Park, while years 7 to 12 attend Frayne at the Duncan street campus in Victoria Park. The college was established in its present form in 1990, but dates back to a school founded by the Sisters of Mercy, led by Mother Clare Buggy, in 1899. The school was named after Mother Ursula Frayne to publicly commemorate the first leader of the Sisters of Mercy and founder of many Catholic schools in Western Australia. History A group of the Sisters of Mercy, led by Mother Clare Buggy, arrived from Ireland in 1899 and created their first school in the current place of the Duncan street campus, naming it St Joachim's School. Our Lady Help of Christians School was built in East Victoria Park in 1936 to supply education for newcomers to the suburb. In the 1950s, the Archbishop noticed that a boys' school had not yet been built in the south-east suburbs of Perth and so he asked the Congregation of Christian Brothers in Sydney for help, while the East Victoria Park parish donated land worth around £A 2,000, equivalent to A$79,600 in 2022. St. Francis Xavier College was finally finished in 1953 and was staffed by the Christian Brothers. However, with declining enrolments at Xavier College, the college united with Our Lady Help of Christians School, and soon afterwards, amalgamated with St. Joachim's School in 1990 to become Ursula Frayne Catholic College. Notable alumni Phillip Pendal, a Liberal politician Sister Martin Kelly MBE, student at St Joachim's School 1939 to 1947 then Administrator at Catherine McAuley Centre. Died 11 July 1987.

Vahselgletscher

Der Vahselgletscher ist ein Gletscher im Westen der Insel Heard im südlichen Indischen Ozean. Er fließt in westlicher Richtung zur South West Bay. Teilnehmer der deutschen Gauß-Expedition (1901–1903) unter der Leitung Erich von Drygalskis nahmen 1902 eine grobe Kartierung vor. Drygalski benannte ihn nach Richard Vahsel (1868–1912), der an dieser Forschungsreise und dabei an Untersuchungen der benachbarten Atlas Cove beteiligt war.

Vahsel Glacier

Vahsel Glacier (53°04′S 73°23′E) is a glacier on the northwestern side of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. It flows west into South West Bay, between Erratic Point and Cape Gazert. Immediately to the north of Vahsel Glacier is Schmidt Glacier, whose terminus is located between Mount Drygalski and North West Cornice. To the south of Vahsel Glacier is Allison Glacier, whose terminus is located south of Cape Gazert, which separates Allison Glacier from Vahsel Glacier. Discovery and naming Vahsel Glacier was charted in 1902 by the German Antarctic Expedition under Erich von Drygalski. A landing party was sent ashore near Atlas Cove on 3 February 1902. Drygalski named the glacier for Richard Vahsel, an officer of the landing party of the Gauss expedition who conducted investigations near Atlas Cove. Vahsel was later captain of Wilhelm Filchner's Deutschland; he died in August 1912 during the drift of the Deutschland. References Further reading U. Radok & D. Watts (1975).

Avon Valley National Park

Avon Valley is a national park in Western Australia, 47 kilometres northeast of Perth. It was named after the Avon River, which flows through it. The area is an undulating plateau with the sides of the valley steeply sloping back to the river approximately 200 metres (660 ft) below. The area contains granite outcrops and a mix of soil types including loams, gravels and lateritic sands. There is also an eponymous locality of the City of Swan, but the boundaries of the national park and the locality are not identical. Description It was officially named on 15 October 1971. Jarrah, marri and wandoo trees are found in the park along with 90 different species of birds, making it an ideal place for bird watching. Christmas trees and grasstrees are interspersed through the woodlands. In the springtime the park is visited by wildflower enthusiasts to view the diverse range of flowers, including dryandras, donkey orchids and lechenaultias. Other plants found in the area are Conostylis, and the rare fringed lily is also found within the park. The bushranger Moondyne Joe used the area as a hide-out with his cave and corral situated within the park boundaries. Both have since been damaged by a series of bushfires within the park. The area was subsequently designated as a reserve within the National Park in the Moondyne Nature Reserve in 1981. The third route of the Eastern Railway is in parts the southern border of the park, on the southern side of the Avon River, and provides - at times of bushfires and other emergencies - a track and point of access. Facilities Entry and camping fees apply for visitors to the park. Toilets, water, shaded areas and wood barbecues are available for use. Trail signage and an information shelter are located within the park and a dedicated ranger is on site ( No longer on site).

Avon Valley Nemzeti Park

Az Avon Valley Nemzeti Park Nyugat-Ausztráliában található, Perthtől 47 kilométernyire északkeletre. A park az Avon-folyóról kapta nevét, amely keresztülfolyik rajta. A terület egy hullámzó felszínű fennsík, amelybe megközelítőleg 200 méteres mélységű, meredek völgyfalakkal vágódik bele az Avon-folyó. A területen több helyütt gránitsziklák emelkednek ki a felszín alól, illetve változatos talajösszetétel lelhető fel itt, mint például a vályogtalaj, a különféle üledékes kőzetek, illetve a sok fém-oxidot tartalmazó homoktalajok. A nemzeti parkot hivatalosan 1975. október 15-én kapta a nevét. A park flóráját az Eucalyptus marginata, Corymbia calophylla és az Eucalyptus wandoo fajok uralják. A nemzeti park területén élő közel 90 madárfaj miatt ideális madármegfigyelő-helyként szerepel az ornitológusok körében. A karácsony táján virágba boruló Nuytsia floribunda, melyet a helyiek csak „karácsonyfának” neveznek, valamint Xanthorrhoea, azaz fűfa növények teszik változatossá a vidék növénytakaróját. A tavasszal nyíló vadvirágok sokasága, mint például a Banksia ser. Dryandra, a különféle orchideafélék változatos formájú virágai, illetve a Lechenaultia nemzetséghez tartozó virágok színpompás szőnyege fogadja a parkba látogatókat. A park területén fellelhető egyéb növények közé tartoznak még a Conostylis és a Thysanotus nemzetség fajai is. Az Eastern Railway hármas számú vasútvonala a park déli részén húzódik, és időnként a vasútvonalnak köszönhetően alakulnak ki bozóttüzek a környéken. Szolgáltatások A nemzeti parkba látogatók számára illemhely, sátrazási és kempingezési lehetőség, illetve fedett helyek, ivóvízvételi lehetőség, valamint barbecue készítésére alkalmas tűzrakóhelyek állnak rendelkezésre. A park útvonalait jelzések jelölik, illetve információs központ és helyi ranger (erdőkerülő) nyújt segítséget a látogatóknak.

Эйвон-Волли

Эйвон-Волли (англ. Avon Valley National Park) — национальный парк в штате Западная Австралия, расположенный в 47 км к северо-востоку от столицы штата Перт. Назван 15 октября 1971 года по реке Эйвон, протекающей через него. Район представляет собой холмистое плато с крутыми склонами долины, спускающимися к реке примерно на 200 м ниже. Район содержит обнажения гранитов и смесь типов почв, включая суглинки, гравий и латеритные пески. Площадь парка составляет 42,66 км². Флора и фауна В парке растут деревья Eucalyptus marginata (ярра), Corymbia calophylla (марри) и Eucalyptus wandoo (ванду), а также обитают 90 различных видов птиц, что делает его идеальным местом для наблюдения за птицами. В лесных массивах можно встретить нуитсии (т. н. рождественские ёлки) и ксанторреи. Весной парк посещают любители полевых цветов, чтобы полюбоваться разнообразием цветов, в том числе банксиями, ослиными орхидеями и лешенолтиями (Lechenaultia). Кроме этого в парке встречаются Conostylis, а также редкая Thysanotus. История Бушрейнджер Мундин Джо использовал эту местность как убежище со своей пещерой и загоном, расположенными на территории парка. Оба с тех пор пострадали в результате серии лесных пожаров в парке. Впоследствии в 1981 году этот район был выделен в Национальном парке как заповедник Мундин. Третий маршрут Восточной железной дороги частично проходит на южной границе парка на южной стороне реки Эйвон и обеспечивает — во время лесных пожаров и других чрезвычайных ситуаций — путь доступа. Туристическая инфраструктура С посетителей парка взимается плата за вход и кемпинг. Доступны туалеты, вода, затенённые места и дровяные мангалы. Указатели на тропах и информационное убежище расположены на территории парка, на территории есть специальный рейнджер. Примечания

Vansittart Island

Vansittart Island, aussi appelée Gun Carriage Island, est une île granitique d'une superficie de 800 ha, au sud-est de l'Australie. Elle fait partie de l'archipel Vansittart de Tasmanie, située à l'est du détroit de Bass, entre Flinders et Cape Barren Islands dans l'archipel Furneaux. Elle est en partie propriété privée et en partie louée, souvent pour le pâturage des moutons wiltshire. L'île fait partie de la zone importante pour la conservation des oiseaux dans les Franklin Sound Islands, reconnue comme telle par BirdLife International parce qu'elle détient plus de 1 % de la population mondiale de six espèces d'oiseaux. Flore et faune La majorité de la végétation d'origine de l'île a été détruite par le feu et par des bulldozers à chenilles, faisant disparaître plusieurs forêts de pins dans Oyster Bay Pine. Reconnue pour la reproduction de nombreux oiseaux marins et échassiers, y nichent : le Manchot pygmée ; le Goéland austral, (Pacific Gull) ; l'Huîtrier fuligineux ; l'Huîtrier pie. Le Cygne noir a niché sur l'île qui est aussi un refuge pour l'oie de Cape Barren (Céréopse cendré). Au niveau des reptiles, on trouve : le Serpent-tigre, et plusieurs espèces de scinques : Pseudemoia entrecasteauxii, (Southern Grass Skink), Niveoscincus metallicus, (Metallik Skink), et Lerista bougainvillii, (Bougainville's Skink). Le Wallaby à cou rouge (Red-necked Wallaby) vit sur l'île et probablement des Échidnés, bien que le Pademelon à ventre rouge soit éteint ici. Personnalités notoires Lucy Beeton (1829-1886) institutrice, commerçante et dirigeante chrétienne aborigène de Tasmanie y est née.

Vasse and Wonnerup Floodgates

The Vasse and Wonnerup Floodgates is a heritage listed site in Western Australia that comprises two locations. The two locations are the site of the Vasse floodgates on the Vasse River and the Wonnerup floodgates on the Wonnerup Estuary. In addition, the 2004 site of the Vasse floodgates was also the site of the Ballarat Bridge which was built in 1871 as part of a logging rail line where the Ballarat Steam engine was the first steam engine to operate in Western Australia. The installation of the floodgates caused the formation of the fresh water Vasse-Wonnerup Wetlands. Vasse Floodgates The original Vasse floodgates were built in 1907 by the Public Works Department and made from local timber; the site chosen for the floodgates was near the existing Ballarat bridge. These gates were later refurbished in 1927, 1942, and 1991. The final refurbishment in 1991 was in response to the 1990 listing of the wetlands under the Ramsar Convention. Though the floodgate continued to operate as designed, by 2003 the gates were leaking salt water into the wetlands and had to be replaced. Investigation of the area revealed that the Ballarat bridge was in a state of disrepair and should be removed for safety reasons; once this occurred a new set of automated floodgates were built on the site. In 2004 with the new gates operating, the old floodgates were removed and a section was given to the Busselton Historical Society, which currently has it on display inside the Old Butter Factory Museum. Wonnerup Floodgates Like the Vasse floodgates, the Wonnerup floodgates were built by the Public Works Department in 1907. The site chosen was near the Forest Beach Road bridge and like the Vasse floodgates, they were refurbished in 1927, 1942, 1991 and replaced in 2004. The new site was 20 m (66 ft) upstream from the original gates. Once the new gates were operational, the old gates were removed and destroyed, though the abutments were left in place, with the south abutment having a high degree of authenticity from the original structure.

Vermont Secondary College

Vermont Secondary College is a state high school located in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Vermont, Victoria, Australia. It is accredited under Australia's Department of Education's CRICOS system. Vermont Secondary College opened as Vermont High School in 1962. The school buildings were constructed in stages between 1962 and 1970 using the Light Timber Construction (LTC) design of the Victorian Public Works Department. Upon completion, two classroom wings (designated "N" and "C") and a technical wing (designated "S") were constructed. In later years, a gymnasium/canteen complex was added, partially funded by the former City of Nunawading, along with a football/cricket oval and a soccer field. The school changed its name to Vermont Secondary College in 1991. The school has recently undergone significant renovations, with two of the three LTC wings experiencing significant remodelling and partial demolition, and a fourth wing consisting of 12 portable classrooms being added. The grounds have also been improved, including a fenced artificial surface soccer pitch and a new set of asphalt netball/basketball courts with line markings for tennis as well. In 2010, the school structure was significantly altered with the introduction of a house system consisting of three houses: Hotham (Blue house), Macedon (Green house) and Stirling (Red house). Each house is named after mountains to align with the school's previous tradition. Each house has a male and female house captain from year 12, along with two school captains, a male and a female, chosen from year 12.
