The State Sports Centre (known commercially as the Quaycentre) is a multi-use indoor arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and was opened in November 1984. With a total of 3,854 fixed and retractable seats the main arena is a focal point of the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre.

History Basketball and netball In 1986, Centre became home to Sydney's then two National Basketball League (NBL) teams, the Sydney Supersonics and West Sydney Westars. When they merged before the 1988 NBL season to form the Sydney Kings, the new team remained at the centre and would stay for two years before moving to the 12,000 seat Sydney Entertainment Centre (SEC) in 1990. The Centre then hosted local basketball until the formation of a new NBL team in 1998 called the West Sydney Razorbacks (later renamed the Sydney Spirit). The new club called the Centre home from 1998 until the club folded in 2009. The Sydney Sandpipers netball team called the venue home from 1997–2003 until they folded, and since 2008 it has been the home venue for the New South Wales Swifts netball team. Between 2017 and 2019, it was home to the Suncorp Super Netball team Giants Netball. Due to a schedule conflict at the SEC, the Sydney Kings returned to the State Sports Centre for a game against defending NBL champions the New Zealand Breakers in Round 10 of the 2012–13 NBL season. The Kings defeated the Breakers 75–62 in front of 4,178 fans. The centre was one of two venues for the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup and the venue for the 2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup. Futsal The centre hosted finals games in the Australian futsal league, with crowds higher than would have been appropriate for the usual Sydney venue of the Fairfield Leisure Centre. 2000 Olympic Games The State Sports Centre was one of the venues of the 2000 Summer Olympics, held in Sydney. It hosted the table tennis and taekwondo events. Other Hillsong's album For This Cause was recorded at the centre on 5 March 2000. C3 Church's album Send Down Your Love was also recorded at the centre during the Church's "Love Sydney" event held on 10 September 2009. In 1998, Shout to the Lord 2000 was recorded at this place as well during the 1998 Hillsong Conference.

Stirling Gardens

Stirling Gardens is a small public park in Perth, Western Australia. Located on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street, west of the Government House and north of the Supreme Court buildings, it contains a group of significant sculpture items. History Originally established by the Perth Vineyard Society in 1845 with government approval, the gardens were leased to Henry Laroche Cole for a ten-year period in 1846, and were eventually returned to government control at the end of that period. In 1868 Enoch Barratt was appointed as the Government Gardener to tend Government Gardens (now known as Stirling Gardens), a position which he held until he retired in 1880. It is one of a series of landscape features that is classified by the National Trust. The statue of Alexander Forrest, the brother of John Forrest, was constructed by Pietro Porcelli. It was first made in Guildford clay, then in plaster of Paris, sent to Italy to cast it in wax and finally in bronze, unveiled by Premier Walter James on 28 August 1903, and moved to its current location in 1916. Stirling Gardens has been called Stirling Square in the past, despite the coincidence of a square of the same name in Guildford.

Situato all'angolo di St Georges Terrace e Barrack Street, a ovest del Palazzo del Governo e a nord degli edifici della Corte Suprema, contiene un gruppo di sculture di una certa rilevanza. Storia Fondati originariamente dalla Perth Vineyard Society nel 1845 con l'approvazione del governo, i Giardini sono stati affittati a Henry Laroche Cole per un periodo di dieci anni nel 1846 e sono stati poi restituiti al controllo del Governo, alla fine di quel periodo. Nel 1868 Enoch Barratt fu nominato Giardiniere del Governo per prendersi cura dei Government Gardens (ora noti come Stirling Gardens), una posizione che ricoprì fino al suo ritiro nel 1880. Si tratta di una serie di caratteristiche del paesaggio che viene classificata dal National Trust. La statua di Alexander Forrest, fratello di Sir John Forrest, fu costruita da Pietro Porcelli. Fu creata in un primo tempo in argilla di Guildford, poi in gesso di Parigi, inviata in Italia per formarla in cera e, infine, in bronzo. Fu inaugurata dal premier Walter James il 28 agosto 1903.

Stirling Gardens

Stirling Gardens - nazwany tak dla upamiętnienia postaci Jamesa Stirlinga, pierwszego gubernatora Zachodniej Australii i założyciela miasta (znany początkowo wśród mieszkańców jako Government Gardens, współcześnie jako Supreme Court Gardens), znajduje się sto metrów od oficjalnej rezydencji gubernatora Australii Zachoodniej, na rogu St. Georges Terrace, Perth i Barrack Street. Park od chwili powstania był miejscem organizowania happeningów i wystaw kulturalnych. Na jego terenie znajduje się kilka rzeźb miejscowych artystów. Pierwszą rzeźbą był postawiony w 1903 roku pomnik Alexandera Forresta, australijskiego podróżnika i odkrywcy Zachodniej Australii. Jego autorem był Pietro Porcelli. Drugą rzeźbą, odsłoniętą w 1971 roku, jest pomnik Ore Obelisque, australijskiego biznesmena. Do najnowszych rzeźb należy siedem wykonanych w brązie kangurów, stojących obok ozdobnego jeziorka i źródełka. Znajdują się one przy głównej ulicy miasta St. George's Tce naprzeciwko Florence Hummerston Park. Autorami rzeźb są Joan Walsh-Smith i Charles Smith. Dzieła zostały odsłonięte w 1998 roku.

The centre is approximately 19 km east of the Melbourne CBD and is situated on the corner of Blackburn and Reynolds Roads. It was opened on 27 October 1986 by state opposition leader Jeff Kennett. Amenities at The Pines Shopping Centre include a library, community centre, medical centre, several banks, over 100 speciality stores and undercover parking. History The Pines Shopping Centre was developed by Lustig & Moar. It was opened by leader of the opposition Jeff Kennett on 27 October 1986. In 2000 the shopping centre which consisted of a Target, Woolworths and 45 speciality stores with a GLA of 15,000 sqm underwent a minor cosmetic refurbishment. In 2004 the Westfield Group commenced a multi-million dollar expansion of the centre to include Coles, Aldi, 55 new speciality stores and additional car parking at the northern end of the property.

In late 2016, the shopping centre underwent a new refurbishment with Aldi expanding its floor space and a refresh of the speciality stores on offer. Kmart opened a new store in November 2016, replacing the existing Target store as part of Wesfarmers' strategy to consolidate the underperforming brand nationwide. In January 2021, the centre was sold by Stockland to JY Group (54%) & Haben Property Fund (46%) and renamed back to The Pines Shopping Centre.

Stokes Inlet

Stokes Inlet is an inlet in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The inlet is situated 65 kilometres (40 mi) west of Esperance in Stokes National Park and is set is a large river valley with permanent deep water and high dunes located on either side. Thick bushland and paperbark trees surround the inlet and grow down to the waters edge. It is in a largely unmodified condition. The inlet functions primarily as a result of wave energy and is a wave dominated estuary. Stokes Inlet was named in 1848 by John Septimus Roe, the Surveyor General of Western Australia, while leading a five-man exploration expedition along the coast, commemorating John Lort Stokes' work on HMS Beagle, surveying the Western Australian coast. Geography The inlet is managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation with a catchment that extends over 100 kilometres (62 mi) inland and is fed by two main rivers, the Young and Lort Rivers. The inlet itself is 10 kilometres (6 mi) long and 2 kilometres (1 mi) wide with an area of 14 square kilometres (5 sq mi), and receives an annual flow of 5 million cubic metres. The central basin has an area of 8.6 square kilometres (3 sq mi) with intertidal flats having an area of approximately 2 square kilometres (1 sq mi). The mouth of the river is in the middle of Dunster Castle Bay; it is closed by a sandbar that cuts the estuary off from the sea and only opens every few years. As a result, the salinity and water level fluctuate greatly dependent upon the amount of evaporation and river flow. Flora The aquatic flora of the estuary are dominated by the small green algae Polyphysa peniculus, the stonewort Lamprothamnium papulosum, and the seagrass Ruppia megacarpa. The waterbody of the inlet is fringed with salt water paperbarks with sedges and samphire common along the sandy sections. Fauna Marine species flourish at times when the bar is open; blue manna crabs, juvenile prawns, cockles and mussels have all been identified in the inlet. Many fish species inhabit the estuary, such as the common minnow, hardyheads, gobies, and larger species such as black bream and sea mullet. References
Stony Point railway station

Stony Point railway station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and the terminus of the Stony Point line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the town of Crib Point in Victoria, Australia. Stony Point is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 17 December 1889, with the current station provided in 1984. It initially closed on 10 June 1981, then reopened on 27 September 1984. History In 1910, a turntable was provided at the station. By November 1960, it was out of use and, by March 1963, was abolished. In 1976, a siding at the up end of the station was removed. The following year, in 1977, the goods yard was closed. On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service, with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day. On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and, on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated. A run-around loop exists to the north and west of the station, but has not been regularly used since locomotive hauled services ceased in April 2008. In June 2014, the platform length was reduced from around 150 metres to 103 metres. This was done as the extra length used for longer locomotives was no longer required. Platforms and services Stony Point has one platform. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Stony Point line services. Transport links A jetty is located near the station, from which ferry services operate to Tankerton, on French Island, and Cowes, on Phillip Island.
