Silverwater Bridge

The Silverwater Bridge is a concrete box girder bridge that spans the Parramatta River in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The bridge carries Silverwater Road over the river to link Silverwater in the south to Rydalmere and Ermington in the north. Description Built by John Holland, the Silverwater Bridge was opened on 10 November 1962 by Premier of New South Wales Bob Heffron and was the first concrete box girder bridge built in New South Wales. It was the first of the two major bridges needed to construct the Hornsby-Heathcote county road (the other being the Alfords Point Bridge), and was the second project undertaken in the construction of this county road (the first being Olympic Drive, Lidcombe, between Boorea and Church Streets, in 1959). In conjunction with the construction of the bridge, Silverwater Road between Parramatta Road and the bridge was widened to six lanes, and was extended across the new bridge to connect to Victoria Road at Ermington. The origin of the suburb's name, and subsequently the bridge's name, is unknown. It may have been a reference to the nearby Parramatta River, which could have provided silver reflections of light off the water.

Mindil Beach Casino & Resort

History Don Casino (1979–83) The first casino in Darwin, and the second in Australia, operated at the Don Hotel, Cavenagh Street, and was granted a licence as the "Don Casino" in 1979. Mindil Beach Casino (1983–85) The licence was in 1983 transferred to the Mindil Beach Casino. In 1984, the Territory government forcibly acquired it, along with the Alice Springs Casino, from Federal Hotels for $50 million. A joint venture between Greate Bay Casino Corp. (owner of the Sands Atlantic City) and Aspinall Holdings (a British casino operator) was set up to operate the two casinos. Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino (1985–95) The Mindil Beach Casino was renamed as the Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino. Aspinall bought out Greate Bay's interest for US$1 million in 1986, and then acquired the territorial government's 17 percent interest for $5 million in 1987. MGM Grand Darwin (1995–2004) In 1995, MGM Grand acquired the property for US$75 million, including US$13 million of assumed debt. It was renamed as the MGM Grand Darwin.

Snake Island (Victoria)

Snake Island is a sand island, located in Corner Inlet in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It has an area of 35-square-kilometre (14 sq mi) and is the largest island in Corner Inlet. Snake Island lies within the Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park and is part of a complex of barrier islands that protect a large marine embayment from the pounding waves of Bass Strait. The Aboriginal Gunai name for the island is Negima. As the island is remote and relatively unspoilt, it is a popular destination for bushwalkers, with many tracks traversing the island. Snake Island’s oceanic beaches are known to have rapidly changing tides, therefore its visitors must take a cautious approach. Supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna, the island is particularly attractive to naturalists and researchers. Like other islands within Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park, campers are required to have a permit from Parks Victoria. This is to preserve the unique environment of Snake Island, and to protect the species which inhabit it. Additionally, to harm or remove any of its flora or fauna is illegal, as the island is a sanctuary. History Snake Island is part of the traditional territory of the Brataualung clan of the Gunai people, who named it "Negima". As well as being a place of refuge, it was used as a nuptial island for young couples. Since the 1880s the island has been used by South Gippsland farmers to agist cattle in winter, swimming their stock over a narrow channel at low tide. A 53 m-long (174 ft) jetty was built using local timbers by soldiers from the 91 Forestry Squadron (Woodpeckers) in September 1982 at the swashway between Snake Island and Little Snake Island. Flora and fauna The vegetation communities of Snake Island include woodland, scrubland, heath, freshwater swamps, mangroves, and salt marsh. Mammals found on the island include the native eastern grey kangaroo, swamp wallaby, koala, swamp antechinus, as well as the hog deer. There are many birds present including the eastern ground parrot. Large numbers of migratory waders roost along the coast after feeding on the inlet's extensive intertidal mudflats. Grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) are also observed visiting the island and are probably going to its paperbarks to feed on seasonal nectar.

Snapper Island (New South Wales)

Snapper Island (previously known as Schnapper Island) is a 1.65-hectare (4.1-acre) island in Sydney Harbour, Australia. It lies in the main channel of the western section of the harbour, upstream of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, adjacent to the Sydney suburb of Drummoyne. The island was originally a rocky outcrop, but in 1931-2 it was increased in size over seven times by land reclamation, and reshaped into the general plan form of a ship. Since then it has been used as a training depot by the Sea Cadets, and as a museum. Snapper Island is the smallest island in the harbour and more than the others has been reshaped significantly by human intervention. Early history In 1879, Snapper Island was declared a public recreation reserve by the NSW Legislative Assembly. However, Snapper Island remained a rarely visited rocky outcrop. When nearby Cockatoo Island was passed to the Royal Australian Navy in 1913, Snapper Island was included in its 'naval waters', and as such subject to naval control. During World War I the island was leased to the Cockatoo Island Dockyard for storing ships' parts and old corrugated iron. In 1930, Len Forsythe leased the island from the Commonwealth Government in order to create a training depot for boys in nautical skills. Around 50 cadets were recruited and began work on the island. After clearing the island of vegetation in 1931, the island was flattened by blasting an estimated 1,000 tonnes of rock from the top of the island over an eight-month period. Associated land reclamation activities increased the size of the island by around 1,000 square metres. The stone sea walls of the island were sculptured to create the shape of a ship with the stern (pointing towards Drummoyne) and the bow (pointing towards Cockatoo Island). In 1932, building work commenced on a signal station, wharf and the other main buildings that can still be seen today. The layout of these buildings models the layout of a naval ship. The cadets also planted the two cabbage-tree palms which are still the only vegetation left on the island. With the onset of World War II, the island was returned to the service of the Navy. At the end of 1942 United States troops moved onto the island to use it for training purposes. The British also used some of the facilities on Snapper Island as a social club for troops on leave. In 1952, Forsythe decided to set up the Snapper Island Company and establish a museum on the island, the income from which would go towards the ongoing maintenance of the island. Opened after 1966, the museum held thousands of pieces of memorabilia from Australia's naval history. Currently the island is closed to the public. References External links Catie Gilchrist (2014).
