Manly Yacht Club

Manly Yacht Club (MYC) is a sailing club in the suburb of Manly on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. History Manly Yacht Club was formed in 1950 as the Manly 14 ft Skiff Club. In the late 1950s a training boat called the Manly Junior was introduced. The 1960s was a busy decade with the formulation of the Yachting Division and the Manly Graduate division. The club's name was subsequently changed to the Manly Yacht Club. In the early 1980s the club moved into the present building which was the site of the former Gentlemen's Baths, 'the largest and most efficiently equipped gentlemen's swimming baths in the state', opened in 1892. In October 1926, a new Olympic pool with a grandstand to seat 1400 people was opened at a cost of £11,000. The Baths suffered severe storm damage in May 1974 and were closed in April 1976. The Harbord Diggers swimming club held a ceremony with special guests Sir Robert Askin and Fitz Lough, who had swum at the baths for seventy years. At the last race a wreath was floated in the pool. It was said that since the first race had been held in 1890 the pool had seen more Olympic champions in action than any other swimming centre in this country. Early in 1977 the Manly Yacht Club submitted plans to convert the remaining buildings for boat storage, and has been in residence ever since. References External links Official Website Yacht Charter

The Cutaway

The Cutaway is an entertainment precinct in Barangaroo, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The NSW Government describes it as an "arts, cultural and events space". The Cutaway will open to private bookings from 1 August 2026 History The Cutaway was built in 2015 and hosted the 2022 Biennale of Sydney. Subsequently, it was primarily used to film car commercials because of its poor acoustics. An Indigenous cultural centre named Buruk was proposed by the NSW Government from 2019 to 2022 to be installed in the Cutaway but the plan was countered by a separate plan from former prime minister Paul Keating which prompted the NSW Government to halt development of their plan. Keating's proposal involved modelling the Cutaway similar to the Musée d'Orsay former railway station and now museum in Paris. In October 2025, the Cutaway's renovation was 85% complete. The NSW Government announced that they would redesign the Cutaway in February 2024 and that FJC Studios would be commissioned to work on the design. The project was slated to cost $80 million and the government cited the need for better acoustics in the Cutaway. In February 2026, planning minister Paul Scully dismissed the complaints of residents and allowed the venue to be operational 24 hours a day. By 16 April, the cost of the project had risen to $100 million. It was also announced that the Cutaway would open to private bookings to host events from 1 August 2026. The consortium that operates ICC Sydney was appointed to operate the Cutaway. Features The Cutaway is built for all types of weather, has a capacity of 3,000 people, includes a commercial kitchen and is built to host events such as corporate events, gala dinners, markets and fashion shows. The Cutaway also has two mezzanine levels two gallery levels a First Nations education space for Indigenous art exhibitions, in addition to a green room and dressing rooms. Richard Francis-Jones from fjcstudios said that the design for the Cutaway celebrates the natural environment rather than hiding it away. The Cutaway embraces Indigenous designs with spatial forms including rock shelters (Gunya) and the Port Jackson fig (Damun). Ceremonial markings on the floor are also visible as shadows when sun shines through the skylight. The Cutaway contains 13 timber trees up to 17 metres high that contain up to 115 individual pieces of timber, these trees have been designed to optimise acoustic performance and can weigh up to 950 kilograms. The Cutaway contains three skylights consisting of 98 custom panels that stretch for a total of 76 metres. Multiple levels are linked via a bronze spiral staircase. The Cutaway has various features to improve acoustics such as two layers of glass separated by an air pocket to improve sound which is also intended to enhance natural light. The Cutaway will also be completely powered by renewable energy. The venue will use water from Sydney Harbour for cooling. Notes References Further reading Morris, Linda (6 August 2022).

Ebrington (Brighton)

Ebrington is a historic nineteenth-century residence located at 23 South Road, in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton, Victoria, Australia. Constructed in 1882, the house was built for Sarah Ann Kyte, widow of Ambrose Kyte, and forms part of the concentration of substantial Victorian-era villas developed in Brighton during the late nineteenth century. History The land on which Ebrington stands formed part of a subdivision of South Road land offered for sale in April 1882. Contemporary advertisements described the allotments as being particularly suitable for "two storey detached houses, terraces or first class villas" due to their proximity to Brighton's railway station, bathing facilities and pier. Ebrington was subsequently constructed in 1882 for Sarah Ann Kyte (née Finnin). Sarah, who was the widow of the wealthy merchant and politician Ambrose Kyte, inherited a large sum of money upon Ambrose's death in 1868. Mrs Kyte sought out a general servant to help around the house, and an advertisement was placed in the Argus newspaper in 1883. On 12th December 1884, Mary Jane Parsons, aged between 11 and 12, ran away from the house and a notice was subsequently advertised in The Age. Sarah remained at the house until her death there on 3rd August 1904. She was then interred at Brighton General Cemetery. Sarah's son Hugh lived at the house until his death in 1919. Hugh Kyte's widow Theresa Victoria Kyte continued to live at the house until her death on October 29 1925. James Maginnis, of the firm Lloyd Bros. & Maginnis, died whilst visiting the house on 6 December 1929 at the age of 68. Ownership remained in the Kyte family until the 10 March 1951, after the death of Fanny Kyte. The property was last sold on 10 November 2009, and the house has since been classified as a heritage place within the Bayside Heritage Overlay. See also Brighton Beach railway station References
Marida Yallock

Marida Yallock is a historic pastoral property and homestead on Mount Emu Creek, within the locality of Boorcan, Victoria, Australia. Established as a pastoral run in 1840 during the early European settlement of Victoria's Western District, it became one of the district's most prominent grazing properties under the ownership of pastoralist Daniel MacKinnon. The estate is noted for its association with the development of the Western District pastoral industry and for its historic homestead complex and landscape, dating from 1854. Marida Yallock is listed by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). History The Marida Yallock pastoral run was first taken up in 1840 by Stephen Ewen during the expansion of pastoral settlement across Victoria's Western District. The run occupied heavily timbered country which required extensive clearing before it could be developed for grazing. Over subsequent decades, large areas of woodland were removed and drainage works were undertaken, transforming the property into productive stock country. In 1852 the run was acquired by Daniel MacKinnon. Daniel was born in Lagg, on the Isle of Arran, Scotland in 1818, and arrived in the Colony of New South Wales 15 years earlier, in 1839. Daniel oversaw the construction of the earliest section of the homestead complex in 1854. During the second half of the nineteenth century the estate was progressively enlarged through the purchase of freehold land surrounding the original pastoral lease. By the late nineteenth century, Marida Yallock had become one of the best-known fattening properties in the district, carrying substantial numbers of cattle and sheep. The property was extensively improved during Daniel MacKinnon's ownership, including the establishment of ornamental gardens and tree plantings. The house was also significantly expanded during the 1860s and 1870s. Following Daniel MacKinnon's death in 1889, Marida Yallock remained in the ownership of the MacKinnon family. His son Donald MacKinnon, later a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly and Attorney-General of Victoria, inherited the estate, although much of its managements was undertaken by his brother William Kinross MacKinnon. The property continued to operate as a pastoral enterprise through the early twentieth century. Around this time, landscape designer William Guilfoyle was attributed with the design of a garden at the property. After the Second World War, a substantial portion of the estate was acquired by the Vicotrian Soldier Settlement Commission and subdivided for returned servicemen. The subdivision contributed significantly to the growth of the Boorcan district and altered the pattern of land ownership in the surrounding area. A monument commemorating the soldier settlement scheme was later erected near the former estate. References
Yalla-Y-Poora

Yalla-Y-Poora is a historic pastoral property and homestead near Tatyoon, Victoria, Australia. Established as a sheep station in the early 1840s, it became one of the principal pastoral estates of Victoria's Western District under the ownership of the Ware family. The property is notable for its surviving complex of bluestone station buildings and its association with the pastoral development of the region. The property is listed by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). History The Yalla=Y-Poora run was established in 1841 when squatters Stevens and Thomson took up approximately 66,000 acres (27,000 ha) of grazing land on Fiery Creek in Victoria's Western District. The name is believed to derive from a local Aboriginal term meaning "trees by water". During the early years of settlement, the property developed into a substantial sheep station serving the rapidly expanding wool industry of colonial Victoria. In 1854, the run was acquired by James Austin, who sold it two years later to Jeremiah Ware and his brothers John and Joseph Ware. Under the Ware family's ownership, Yalla-Y-Poora expanded into one of the district's most successful pastoral enterprises. At its peak the estate carried approximately 60,000 sheep and became renowned for wool production and merino breeding. The family's holdings extended beyond Yalla-Y-Poora to other Western District properties, including Minjah. A substantial bluestone homestead and associated station buildings were erected during the 1850s and 1860s. These included a manager's residence, coach house, stables, blacksmith, and shearing facilities, many of which survive. In 1864, the Austrian-born artist Eugene von Guérard visited the property and painted "Yalla-y-Poora". The work is held by the National Gallery of Victoria. The original homestead depicted by von Guérard was later demolished after suffering from persistent rising damp and possible flooding associated with Fiery Creek. In 1905, a new bluestone mansion was constructed nearby. Designed in a Federation Free Style with Victorian and Gothic influences, the replacement residence incorporated materials recovered from the earlier house and became the principal homestead of the estate. Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Yalla-Y-Poora estate was gradually reduced in size through land selection, taxation measures and the subdivision of land for soldier settlement following both world wars. Despite these reductions, the property maintained a reputation as a leading grazing enterprise and achieved distinction in wool production, with wool from the station setting an Australian auction record in 1924. The Ware family retained ownership of Yalla-Y-Poora for more than a century before financial difficulties led to the sale of the property in the 1960s. Subsequent owners continued pastoral operations while undertaking conservation work on the historic buildings. The house has since been under the ownership of the Fraser family, and since 2019, Tim and Jane Fraser. See also Minjah References
RAAF Base Richmond

Die RAAF Base Richmond (IATA-Code: XRH, ICAO-Code: YSRI) ist ein Militärflugplatz 50 km nordwestlich von Sydney und 2 km östlich der gleichnamigen Stadt Richmond. In Australien ist der Stützpunkt insbesondere als Heimatflugplatz der Lockheed C-130 Hercules Transportmaschinen bekannt. Geschichte Die RAAF Base Richmond war erste Flugplatz der Royal Australian Air Force im Bundesstaat New South Wales und der zweite überhaupt. Auf dem Flugplatz wurde bereits 1916 eine Militärfliegerschule eingerichtet. Im Jahre 1925 wurde als erste fliegende Einheit die 3. Squadron aufgestellt, seitdem trägt die Einrichtung die heutige Bezeichnung. Zwischen 1923 und 1936 war die Basis ein Zweitflugplatz Sydneys. Deshalb landete im Jahr 1928 Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, nach dem der Kingsford Smith International Airport benannt wurde, nach seinem Trans-Pazifik Flug auf der Basis. Einige Jahre später landete die neuseeländische Flugpionierin Jean Batten nach ihrem Alleinflug von England hier. Bei Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkrieges waren in Richmond die 3., 6., 9. und 22 Squadron stationiert. Kurz nach dem Kriegsausbruch wurden noch im September 1939 zunächst die 8. Squadron und wenige Wochen später die 11. Squadron aufgestellt. Während des Krieges im Pazifik wurde der Platz zu einer wichtigen militärischen Einrichtung des Landes. Im Lauf der Jahre entwickelte sich Richmond von einem Stützpunkt für Kampfflugzeuge zur wichtigsten Heimatbasis der australischen Transportflieger und war zwischenzeitlich der wichtigste logistische Umschlagsplatz der RAAF. Die C-130 Hercules ist seit 1959 in Richmond stationiert, zunächst der Baureihe A bei der 36. und ab 1966 auch der Baureihe E bei der 37. Squadron. Die C-130H lief der 36. als C-130A Ersatz 1978 und 1999 die C-130J der 37. Staffel als Ersatz der C-130E zu. Seit 2006 gehörten alle C-130H und J der 37. Staffel, die die C-130H 2012 außer Dienst stellt. Nach drei Jahrzehnten im Truppendienst wurden die fünf Boeing 707 Tank- und Transportflugzeuge der 33. Squadron 2008 ausgemustert. Der Nachfolger, der Airbus A330 MRTT (KC-30A), ist auf der RAAF Base Amberley stationiert, inzwischen ein weiterer wichtiger Logistikstützpunkt. Heutige Nutzung Zurzeit (2015) ist die 37. Squadron mit ihren C-130J Maschinen als einzige fliegende Einheit dauerhaft in Richmond stationiert. Seit Juni 2015 ist Richmond auch vorübergehend Heimat der 2012 für die 35. Squadron bestellten zehn Alenia C-27J Spartan werden, dem endgültigen Ersatz für die bis 2009 in RAAF Base Townsville stationierten Caribous. Im Jahr 2019 soll die 35. Staffel ebenfalls nach Amberley verlegen. Hinzu kommen eine Vielzahl anderer regulärer Einheiten zur Wahrnehmung der Aufgaben des Stützpunktes sowie die 22. (City of Sydney) Squadron, eine Reserveeinheit. Des Weiteren werden auf der Basis Flugzeuge der Qantas Group (Qantas Airways und Jetstar Airways) lackiert. Richmond ist auch die bevorzugte Lage für den Bau eines zweiten internationalen Flughafens für Sydney, um den Kingsford Smith International Airport zu entlasten.

Base aérienne de Richmond

RAAF Base Richmond (IATA : XRH, ICAO : YSRI) est une base aérienne militaire de la Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) située dans la ville de Hawkesbury, à environ 50 kilomètres au nord-ouest du centre d'affaires de Sydney, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. Située entre les villes de Windsor et de Richmond, la base est la plus ancienne base de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud et la deuxième plus ancienne d'Australie. La base abrite le quartier général de la division lié au transport de la RAAF, l'Air Lift Group, et ses principales formations opérationnelles, les No. 84 Wing et No. 86 Wing. Le principal type d'avion utilisé sur la base est le Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Richmond accueille régulièrement des spectacles aériens et a parfois été envisagé comme site pour le deuxième aéroport international de Sydney. Située sur un terrain connu à l'origine sous le nom de Ham Common, Richmond est devenue une base de la RAAF en 1925. Son premier commandant est le Flight Lieutenant (plus tard squadron leader) Frank Lukis, qui dirige également la première unité aérienne de la base, le No. 3 Squadron. De nombreux autres escadrons sont formés à Richmond dans les années qui suivent, ainsi qu'un Station Headquarters et le No. 2 Aircraft Depot en 1936. La base s'agrandit encore pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec l'établissement de nouveaux escadrons et d'autres unités, dont la No. 1 (Fighter) Wing et le No.3 RAAF Hospital. Ce n'est qu'après la guerre qu'elle devient le centre destiné au transport de la RAAF, avec l'arrivée de la No. 86 Wing et de ses C-47 Dakota. La base commence à exploiter le Hercules en 1958, complété plus tard par le DHC-4 Caribou et le Boeing 707.

RAAF Base Richmond

RAAF Base Richmond – baza lotnicza Królewskich Australijskich Sił Powietrznych (RAAF) w Sydney, w stanie Nowa Południowa Walia, w Australii. Położona jest około 50 km na północny zachód od centrum biznesowego Sydney, wewnątrz dzielnicy City of Hawkesbury, pomiędzy przedmieściami (suburbs): Richmond oraz Windsor. Historia Base Richmond jest najstarszą w Nowej Południowej Walii oraz drugą najstarszą w Australii bazą lotniczą. Za początek działalności placówki uznaje się sierpień 1916 roku, kiedy to na obszarze 270 hektarów powstała wojskowa szkoła lotnicza. W czerwcu 1925 roku na teren szkoły przeniesiono 3 Eskadrę pod dowództwem kapitana (później awansowanego na majora) Franka Lukisa, tym samym szkoła została oficjalnie przemianowana na bazę RAAF. Do 1935 roku w Richmond stacjonowały 3, 6, 9 oraz 22 Eskadra. Ponad to w bazie stacjonował 2 Skład Lotniczy w charakterze jednostki technicznej. 11 września 1939 roku w Base Richmond sformowano 8 Eskadrę a jeszcze we wrześniu kolejną, 11 Eskadrę. Podczas II wojny światowej w Base Richmond utworzono jeszcze inne jednostki m.in. 1. Skrzydło Myśliwskie czy 3. Szpital RAAF. Baza podczas wojny służyła za główny ośrodek transportu lotniczego dla całej armii australijskiej i do dziś RAAF Base Richmond pełni funkcję głównego ośrodka logistyki lotniczej w kraju. W lutym 1987 roku Richmond stało się siedzibą Air Lift Group (od 2014 roku Air Mobility Group), formacji odpowiedzialnej za m.in. transport drogą lotniczą czy operacje powietrznodesantowe w armii australijskiej. W sierpniu 2003 roku rząd Australii zaakceptował plan rozbudowy i modernizacji bazy opiewający na sumę 35 milionów dolarów. Głównym celem rozbudowy miało być zwiększenie potencjału sił transportu lotniczego w Richmond. Plan zakładał budowę hangarów dla 33, 36 oraz 37 Eskadry, wspólną siedzibę dowództw 36 oraz 37 Eskadry, instalacje kanalizacyjne oraz elektryczne. W październiku 2005 roku zakończono prace nad nowym budynkiem dowództw 36 oraz 37 Eskadry. Budynek został nagrodzony szeregiem nagród za wysokie standardy ekologiczne. Jednostki stacjonujące w bazie 453 Eskadra Lotów ,,Richmond" - obsługa lotów 37 Eskadra - transport lotniczy o średnim tonażu z użyciem samolotów Hercules 22 Eskadra - operacje na lotnisku 87 Eskadra Taktycznego Wywiadu Lotów Transportowych 285 Eskadra - odpowiedzialna za trening techniczny oraz trening na symulatorze jednostek transportu lotniczego 3 Eskadra Ewakuacji Areomedycznej 1 Oddział Eskadry Sił Ochrony ,,Richmond" Jednostka Szkolenia i Rozwoju Manewrów Powietrznych - ma za zadanie rozwijać koncepcje transportu lotniczego, prowadzi trening oraz certyfikację w tym zakresie Biuro Programu Systemów Transportu Lotniczego - odpowiedzialne za realizację programu zamówień sprzętu wojskowego w kontekście potrzeb transportu lotniczego 176 Lotnicza Eskadra Wysyłkowa - zajmuje się obsługą ładunków w powietrzu Przypisy
