Metropolitan Remand Centre

The Metropolitan Remand Centre (abbreviated and commonly referred to as MRC) is an Australian prison located at Ravenhall, Victoria, approximately 20 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD on the Western Freeway (Deer Park Bypass). The prison is a maximum security remand facility which opened in April 2006 and is operated by the Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety. The majority of MRC's inmates are held awaiting the outcome of their court case, some inmates have been sentenced and are waiting for appeals to be heard and a small number are sentenced prisoners transferred to free up beds at HM Melbourne Assessment Prison. Accommodation Accommodation consists of four 75-bed general (mainstream) units, one 100-bed protection unit (called Deakin), 200 beds in various units allocated for special needs such as vulnerable or young adult prisoners and a 13-bed management unit. Two new units were built and commissioned in late 2014. The inmates unit is divided into 3 areas (A, B and C) which are separated by the officer's post. Being located centrally, officers can monitor activities in each area at a glance. Incidents On 30 June 2015, 400 prisoners at the centre rioted, the largest riot in Victoria's history, the day before the implementation of a smoking ban across all prisons in Victoria. The prison was also overcrowded housing 918 prisoners when it was designed to house 613. Inmates attacked guards with rocks and tear gas, made makeshift weapons, broke into the Central Control Movement, lit numerous fires, damaged cell doors, damaged internal security, fire and communication panels, and rammed internal gates with vehicles. Corrections Victoria locked down all Victorian prisons. The riot was resolved after 15 hours with prisoners surrendering to the Corrections Victoria Security and Emergency Services Group (SESG) after they entered the prison supported by the Victoria Police Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), and police Air Wing helicopter overhead and on the perimeter by police Special Operations Group (SOG) members with their armoured vehicle. Three staff received minor injuries and up to six prisoners were injured with the damage to the prison estimated to be between $10 and $12 million. References External links Department of Justice
Michael Eades Reserve

The bushland in Michael Eades Reserve and surrounds is rich in sensitive vegetation, unique to the upper Blue Mountains plateau, in New South Wales, Australia. Many of the significant plants in the area, such as Acacia ptychoclada and Grevillea acanthifolia, do not appear anywhere else in the world. Vegetation Hanging swamps are an interesting feature of the Reserve and are defined not only by the unique plant life - sedges, grasses and shrubs - but also by the underlying geology. Layers of sandstone, claystone and shale direct groundwater to exit points on the valley walls, which feed the swamps on a continuous basis. These hanging swamps are the source of water for creeks and waterfalls in the upper Blue Mountains. In this Reserve, Katoomba Creek flows downstream into the World Heritage Site of the Grose Valley. Hanging swamps are home to many threatened and endangered animals: Blue Mountains Water Skink, Giant Dragonfly, and the Giant Burrowing Frog. The natural systems of the area have deep cultural and landscape significant to the local Darug Aboriginal community - past and present and future. The Reserve is still highly valued today by the local community. The bushland and creek systems have inspired many active community volunteers to work on bushland protection and restoration here since 1996. This volunteer work continues in collaboration with Blue Mountains City Council and other land management agencies. Name Community efforts to protect bushland in the Blue Mountains were supported by Michael Eades (1954–2002) after whom this Reserve is dedicated. Eades made a major contribution to a heightened awareness and understanding of the special and fragile natural environment of the Blue Mountains, which resulted in the recognition of environmentally sensitive land in Council's Land Environmental Plan 1991. Eades's work has also contributed significantly to the eventual federal government listing at a National level of the Blue Mountains Sedge and Shrub swamps. Eades was a champion of the need to protect the unique flora of the Mountains and identified a number of endangered plant species. He provided critical advice and support to community volunteer endeavours in bushland protection and the establishment of the council's Bushcare Program.

Michaelmas Island

Michaelmas Island is an island located in King George Sound near Albany, Western Australia. The island is a nature reserve (declared in 1983) and managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife; its reserve number is 30049. The island is also registered as a national estate. The island is 91.9 hectares (227 acres) in area. Michaelmas Island has steep rocky shores with submerged reefs all along its northern southern and eastern sides in depths up to 30 metres (100 ft) with large granite boulders. The faces are covered in a diverse range in corals and sponges and home to a wide variety of marine life. Cheynes III, a whale chaser that was scuttled in 1982, is located off the western side of the island and is regarded highly as a diving site. Michaelmas Island is an important habitat for both resident and migratory birds. The habitat of these species is threatened by weed invasion such as Taylorina and feral animals such as rats. George Vancouver named many of the landforms around Albany when he entered King George Sound in 1791, including Michaelmas Island (discovered on Michaelmas Day), King George Sound, Breaksea Island, Oyster Harbour and Point Possession. Vancouver described the island as being covered in rich grasses and other vegetables. Before leaving he planted some vine cuttings, some water cresses, and sowed various seeds. Matthew Flinders landed on the island in 1801 and reported the island to be covered in wiry grasses and stunted shrubs, also it was covered in rat holes. In 2016 the island was chosen as a new habitat site for the critically endangered Gilbert's Potoroo. The island's lack of predators was a key factor in its selection, which will provide the Gilbert's Potoroo with a similar level of long-term protection enjoyed by the quokkas of Rottnest Island, also in Western Australia.

Middleton Reef

Middleton Reef is a coral reef in the Coral Sea. It is separated by a deep oceanic pass some 47 km wide from nearby Elizabeth Reef, forming part of the Lord Howe Rise underwater plateau. It is around 230 km from Lord Howe Island and 555 km from the coast of New South Wales. In 1997 the Environment, Sport and Territories Legislation Amendment Bill 1996 included the reef in Australia's Coral Sea Islands Territory. It is among the southernmost platform reefs in the world. Despite its relatively high latitude, there is a wide variety of flora and fauna on the reef and in the surrounding waters, due to converging tropical and temperate ocean currents. It is about 8.9 km long by 6.3 km wide. At low tide most of the reef flat is exposed, at high tide only one cay is visible, 100 m by 70 m in area and one metre above sea level in elevation. The reefs form the Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs Marine National Park Reserve managed by the Government of Australia under the Natural Heritage Trust. Flora and fauna Surveys by the Australian Institute of Marine Science have highlighted healthy numbers of black cod Epinephelus daemelii, a threatened species in NSW waters. The survey in 2003 highlighted 111 species of coral and identified 181 species of fish. The number of recorded fish species is 311 across several surveys. High numbers of Galapagos sharks Carcharhinus galapagensis were observed at Elizabeth Reef, and may indicate that the reef is a nursery. Sea cucumber (black teatfish), Holothuria whitmaei, were also found in high numbers at Elizabeth Reef. While the 2003 survey found only small numbers of crown-of-thorns starfish, a survey in 2005 indicated that that species is now active. Shipwrecks Along with Elizabeth Reef, the reef has been the site of numerous shipwrecks. According to the National Shipwrecks Database the ships stranded include: Middleton Reef: Agnes Napier, Annasona, Blue Jacket, Britannia, Defender, Maelgwyn, Mallsgate, Mary Lawson, Queen of the East, Stuart Russel, Runic, Fuku Maru no 7. Britannia is listed for both Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs. The yacht Sospan Fach was wrecked on Middleton Reef in 1974, and its crew of four was rescued after being stranded for six weeks, during which they lived on the wreck of the Fuku Maru. Middleton Reef: Agnes Napier, Annasona, Blue Jacket, Britannia, Defender, Maelgwyn, Mallsgate, Mary Lawson, Queen of the East, Stuart Russel Britannia is listed for both Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs.

Midland Gate

Midland Gate is a shopping centre located in Midland, Western Australia. It is north of Great Eastern Highway, and east of the earlier Midland Junction shopping area that was focused on the Great Northern Highway. Midland Gate is one of three shopping centres in Western Australia with all three discount department stores – Kmart, Target and Big W, with the other two being Mandurah Forum and Lakeside Joondalup.

History Swan City Shopping Centre opened in March 1980, with Midland Gate as a separate centre and Sayer Street dividing them. Sayer Street closed in the early 1990s and a pedestrian mall was created, which unofficially merged the Midland Gate and Swan City shopping centres together. The first expansion of Midland Gate occurred in 1995, with the structure removed and Midland Gate officially absorbing Swan City. In the early 2000s expansions were delayed, until the mid-2000s when the delays were no longer present. Redevelopment was celebrated in 2004. Midland Gate was sold by Colonial First State to Novion in 2015. The centre had a $100 million expansion and refurbishment which began in 2017. Completed in March 2019, the redevelopment saw the arrival of Aldi, JB Hi-Fi, Harris Scarfe and Rebel to the centre. In September 2023, Fawkner Property and PAG acquired the centre.

Great-Otway-Nationalpark

i2i3i6 Der Great Otway National Park ist ein Nationalpark in Victoria an der Südküste Australiens. Das 1032 Quadratkilometer große Areal zieht sich als langgestreckter Landstreifen von Anglesea im Osten bis fast zum Cape Otway im Westen, teilweise an der Küste entlang und teilweise durch das Hinterland. Geschichte Das Gebiet wurde 2004 als Nationalpark deklariert. Dazu wurden der vormalige Otway National Park, der Angahook-Lorne State Park, der Carlisle State Park, der Melba Gully State Park, Teile des Otway State forest und eine Reihe staatlicher Flurstücke zu einem einzigen Nationalpark zusammengefügt. Die Gründung folgte der öffentlichen Kampagne einer Bürgerinitiative namens Otway Ranges Environment Network. Der Park weist eine große Vielfalt von Landschaften und Ökosystemen auf. Es gibt offene Gras- und Buschflächen, das Ergebnis der Rodung durch frühe Siedler, aber auch große, ursprüngliche Waldgebiete. In Küstennähe herrschen lichte Eukalyptuswälder vor, man findet aber auch offene Küstenheide, Klippen-, Dünen- und Mündungslandschaften. Weiter landeinwärts findet man dichten, dunklen gemäßigten Regenwald. Die Great Ocean Road streift einen großen Teil des Parks. Wanderer finden im Great Ocean Walk eine 91 km lange Route, die sie abseits der Straße in acht Tagen über Klippen, einsame Strände und Wälder führt. Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten entlang des Pfades sind eingerichtet. Wer eine kürzere Wanderung sucht, kann über planvoll eingerichtete Stichpfade und Zugänge den Hauptpfad erreichen und wieder verlassen. Weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten im Park sind: Cora Lyn, Kaskade Erskine-Fälle Wrack der 1878 auf Grund gelaufenen Fiji Hopetoun-Fälle Kalimna-Fälle Maits Rest Straw-Fälle Lake Elizabeth, durch Erdrutsch im August 1953 entstandener See Der 1848 erbaute Leuchtturm von Cape Otway gehört zwar selbst nicht mehr zum Park, liegt aber unmittelbar westlich von dessen Grenze und am Great Ocean Walk. Der Melba Gully Boardwalk führt über einen Holzsteg über die Farnbüsche des dunklen schattigen Regenwaldes hinweg. Bei den Triplet Falls führt in 25 Meter Höhe der Fly Tree Top Walk in Form von Holzstegen durch das Dach das Regenwaldes, vorbei an bis zu 100 Meter hohen Stämmen des Königseukalyptus.
