Smith Island (Australia)

L'isola di Smith (in inglese: Smith Island) è un'isola australiana sita nel golfo di Spencer, sulla punta meridionale della penisola di Eyre. Geografia Smith Island si colloca circa 32 km a sud-est del centro regionale di Port Lincoln, 2,8 km a sud di Lewis Island e 1,8 km ad est di Cape Catastrophe, la punta orientale della penisola di Jussieu. L'isola si estende per circa quattro ettari e presenta una forma "a virgola", con la punta rivolta verso nord: l'altezza massima di Smith Island è di 22 m sul livello del mare. L'isola si è formata circa 9100 anni fa, con l'innalzamento del livello del mare verso l'inizio dell'Olocene: essa è costituita da un blocco unico di granito che si erge quasi verticalmente dalle acque (il che, sommato al mare frequentemente mosso e alle correnti improvvise, limita fortemente l'accesso all'isola via mare) ed è sormontato da uno strato di calcarenite che a sua volta sostiene uno strato di suolo piuttosto profondo. Storia L'isola prende il nome da William Smith, uno degli 8 membri dell'equipaggio dell'HMS Investigator (i quali danno il nome a tutte le isole del gruppo di Taylor Island) al comando di Matthew Flinders che persero la vita il 21 febbraio 1802 quando il cutter sul quale stavano andando a cercare acqua potabile sulla terraferma venne ribaltata dalle onde. Smith Island è stata per la maggior parte della sua storia recente utilizzata per l'estrazione di guano: fin dal 1965 l'isola, assieme a numerose altre del gruppo di Taylor Island, venne dichiarata area protetta: a lungo parte del Lincoln National Park, dal 30 settembre 2004 Lewis Island è entrata a far parte dell'area protetta di Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area e dal dicembre 2012 le acque adiacenti l'isola e quelle circostanti sono divenute parte dell'area marina protetta di Thorny Passage Marine Park. Flora e fauna Il censimento del 1996 ha identificato 23 specie di piante su Smith Island: per la maggior parte sono erbe abbarbicate sui bordi dello strato calcarenitico dell'isola, mentre le zone di suolo più profondo sono monopolizzate da Atriplex paludosa e Atriplex cinerea. L'abbondante presenza del leone marino australiano nelle acque e coste dell'isola è attestata fin dal 1936: gli strati calcarei vengono utilizzati per la nidificazione dalla berta codacorta e uccello delle tempeste facciabianca, oltre che della specie prossima alla minaccia berta piedicarnicini (della quale l'isola ospiterebbe fino a 150 coppie nidificanti).

Its senior campus, "Woodleigh" (38°11′31″S 145°10′30″E), is located in Langwarrin South. History Woodleigh School was founded in 1856 as St Paul's School, and operated out of a hall on the grounds of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Frankston. It was the first school in Frankston, as well as one of the earliest in the then colony of Victoria, and is the oldest co-educational school in the state of Victoria. In 1970, the school moved to a 3.5 ha property off Seaview Road in Frankston South (now Minimbah Court) which it named "Minimbah" – the Bunurong aboriginal word for "place of learning". In 1975, it purchased the former 12.5 ha farm "Woodleigh" on Golf Links Road in Langwarrin South. During this time, the Minimbah site became the junior campus and the Woodleigh site became the senior campus of the school. After acquiring further land at its Woodleigh site, creating a 22 ha campus, the school changed its name to Woodleigh School in 1999.

Kleenheat Gas

Kleenheat is an Australian gas producer, retailer and distributor based in Perth, Western Australia. Kleenheat produces around 150,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per year to service more than 240,000 customers nationally. The company also supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the heavy-vehicle, power generation and industrial markets nationally through EVOL LNG. History Kleenheat Gas was established by Wesfarmers in 1956 under the leadership of then General Manager John Thomson, who raised the prospect of selling bottled gas with BP during a visit to London. He returned with an exclusive franchise agreement to supply LPG from BP's then-new Kwinana Oil Refinery. In September 1956, Kleenheat Gas became the first company to distribute bottled LPG and gas appliances to regional Western Australia. Demand for the convenience of gas was so great that 1500 appliances were sold before the first gas bottles were available. In 2013, Kleenheat Gas launched a natural gas retailing business, introducing retail competition in Western Australia for residential and small business customers from Geraldton to Busselton for the first time. Previously, the market had operated under a monopoly by American-owned Alinta Energy. In April 2014, Kleenheat Gas reviewed its LPG operations and agreed to sell its LPG distribution business in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania to Elgas Limited. The sale was completed in December 2014. In May 2024, Kleenheat announced its intention to sell their LPG operations to Supagas, and their LNG operations (Evol) to Cefa. The sale was completed on 2 December 2024. The sale did not include the Natural Gas business, nor the Kwinana Production Facility. Products Natural gas – Kleenheat supplies natural gas to around 150,000 customers in households and small businesses from Busselton to Geraldton. References External links Official website
Bird Islands Conservation Park

Bird Islands Conservation Park is a 3.69-square-kilometre (1.42 sq mi) protected area in eastern Spencer Gulf, South Australia. It is located at Warburto Point on Yorke Peninsula, about 10 km (6.2 mi) south of the town of Wallaroo. In 1991, land additions were made to the park to include the intertidal zone of both islands. In 1999, a larger, mainland section was added to support mangroves, samphire and coastal fringe vegetation. Vegetation The two islands forming Bird Islands Conservation Park are fringed by grey mangrove (Avicennia marina ssp. marina) woodlands and chenopod shrublands. A tall open shrubland of coast daisy-bush (Olearia axillaris) and grasslands of introduced species occur on the sandy, higher ground. The mainland section of the park at Warburto Point is similar but with some sandy beach areas backed by dunes supporting coast daisy-bush and various Acacia spp. shrublands. Nine native plant species have been recorded in this park. Wildlife Australia is party to international agreements regarding the conservation of migratory birds (Japan-Australia and China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreements) and several of these migrant shorebirds (listed under JAMBA and CAMBA treaties) regularly visit Bird Islands Conservation Park. These are known to include sharp-tailed sandpiper, red knot, red-necked stint, greater sand plover, grey-tailed tattler, Caspian tern and Terek sandpiper. Additional birds of conservation significance recorded in the park include: Cape Barren goose, lesser sand plover, pied oystercatcher, rock parrot, eastern osprey and fairy tern. Access The park can be accessed by car along Warburto Road. The islands can be reached by wading out at low tide or by boat at high tide. Limited 4WD access is available via a network of sandy tracks. Activities In keeping with the park's conservation zoning, public use is restricted to low-impact activities compatible with the protection of natural and cultural values. Walking, interpretation and education, scientific research and nature appreciation are permitted using existing tracks and trails within the zone. Kayaking is also possible around Bird Islands. Beach fishing is permitted in the waters off Bird Island Conservation Park, provided it is not occurring within a Marine Park Sanctuary Zone. Threats The Government of South Australia's Department of the Environment, Water and Natural Resources has suggested 4WD use should be monitored, as environmental damage can result from driving vehicles on the beach. As the Copper Coast District Council area's human population increases, the impacts from 4WD and other visitor impacts will also increase and will require management.

Gabo

Gabo je ostrov nacházející se v Tichém oceánu na východním konci Bassova průlivu blízko východního pobřeží Austrálie. Má rozlohu 154 hektarů. Ostrov leží oddělen od pevninského státu Victoria zhruba jen 500 metrů širokým průlivem, nedaleko od hranic Victorie s Novým Jižním Walesem. Dostupný je letecky nebo po moři. Gabo objevil v roce 1770 James Cook. Za druhé světové války se na něm nacházela radiostanice. Na ostrově žije rozsáhlá kolonie 15 až 20 tisíc jedinců tučňáka nejmenšího, největší na celém světě, a zhruba stejně velká kolonie buřňáčka běločelého, kvůli nim byly Gabo a k němu příslušející Tullaberga prohlášeny za tzv. významnou ptačí oblast. Gabo je domovem celkem 14 rostlinných druhů, které jsou považované za vzácné nebo ohrožené, v okolním moři žijí také delfíni. Na ostrově byl také kamenolom, z něho vytěžená žula (růžový granit) se stala materiálem i pro výstavbu několika reprezentativních budov v Sydney a Melbourne. Maják Na Gabu stojí od roku 1862 maják, vybudovaný z žuly vytěžené přímo na ostrově. Má výšku 47 metrů, což z něj dělá druhý nejvyšší australský maják. Světelné signály vysílá na moře v krátkých sériích po třech záblescích ze světlometu ve výšce 55 metrů nad hladinou moře.

Gabo Island

Gabo Island is a 154-hectare (380-acre) island located off the coast of eastern Victoria, Australia, between Mallacoota and Cape Howe on the border with New South Wales. It is separated from the mainland by a 500-metre-wide (1⁄4-nautical-mile) channel; access is available by arranged flights and boats. Gabo Island is a shipping reference commonly referred to in Victorian weather warnings issued by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The island is an unincorporated area under the direct administration of the government of Victoria. Gabo Island Lighthouse Gabo Island is well known for its historic lighthouse. This lighthouse, Australia's second tallest, was completed in 1862 and made from pink granite quarried from the island itself. The focal plane of the light is situated at 55 metres (180 ft) above sea level, the characteristic is a group of three flashes that occurs every twenty seconds. A keeper's house is occupied by a caretaker; another building may be rented for overnight stays. Climate Gabo Island has a moderate oceanic climate (Cfb) with mild summers and cool winters and rainfall spread throughout the year. The island features 60.8 clear days annually, higher than Melbourne's 48.6 days, mainly due to the foehn effect that is experienced in the eastern seaboard. Due to a strong foehn effect, the island registered a high of 32.1 °C on 19 September 2023. Birds The island is home to the world's second largest colony of little penguins. Gabo and nearby Tullaberga Island have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because of the numbers of breeding penguins (up to 21,000 pairs) and white-faced storm petrels (up to 20,000 pairs). Concern of predation of native birds and animals led to a successful feral cat eradication program on the island between 1987 and 1991. Literary references “The wind that blows by Gabo,” is the title of a poem by E.J. Brady. References External links The Great Penguin Count on Gabo Island
