Balmain East

Balmain East is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Balmain East is located three kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council. Situated on the eastern end of the Balmain peninsula in Sydney Harbour, Balmain East shares a boundary with the suburb of Balmain to the west. The postcode 2041 covers the suburbs of Balmain, Balmain East and Birchgrove. History and culture The area now known as Balmain East was part of a 550-acre (2.2 km2) grant to colonial surgeon Dr. William Balmain (1762–1803) made in 1800 by Governor John Hunter. Balmain was first settled in 1836 and by 1861 had been divided into the well populated eastern areas of Balmain and the sparsely populated western area, extending to the gates of Callan Park. The small peninsula that jutted out from the main Balmain Peninsula, along which the main artery road Darling Street ran, was known to locals for decades as either "East Balmain" or "The East End" and generally encompassed the area east of Hart St and Balmain Bowling Club. This dividing boundary was originally a natural swamp that was reclaimed early the early 19th century. Whilst the area was almost always referred to as East Balmain by locals, it was still generally regarded as just a name for the eastern peninsula of the suburb, in a similar way in that Birchgrove was the name given to the area of Balmain that encompassed Snails Bay (refer to the history of Birchgrove for more details on its name). The Balmain markets showcases elements of the suburbs past, with antiques and second hand books, whilst also highlighting the area as a cultural hub in the region. Held weekly on Darling Street, the markets operate between 8:30am and 4pm. Heritage listings Balmain East has a number of heritage-listed sites, including: 2-8 Weston Street: Fenwick & Co Boat Store 10-20 Weston Street: Iloura Reserve Transport Balmain East ferry wharf, upgraded in 2015, provides access to the Cross Harbour ferry services, with ferry services to Barangaroo, Circular Quay, and Darling Harbour.

Nigger Head

Nigger Head is the former name of a small island in the northern part of Shelburne Bay in far north Queensland, Australia about 30 km north of Cape Grenville, Cape York Peninsula in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Queensland, Australia. It was named so because it is an isolated coral outcrop; such outcrops were known as niggerheads by British sailors. In 2017, the Department of Natural Resources and Mines which is responsible for naming places in Queensland, said that the name "Nigger Head" would no longer be used. The Queensland government said that a new name would be chosen for the island, although a new name was never selected and the island remains officially unnamed.

Nightcliff Middle School

Nightcliff Middle School is a coeducational state school situated between Nightcliff Road, Aralia Street and Ryland Road, in the northern Darwin suburb of Rapid Creek, Northern Territory, Australia. History The school was named after the adjacent suburb of Nightcliff. In the mid 1960s, planning had commenced for a high school to serve the region, but it was not until 8 July 1970 that Nightcliff High School was officially opened. 300 students, who had been temporarily housed in demountables at Darwin High School, transferred immediately to the new buildings. Following Cyclone Tracy, the new school, which had survived the devastation better than most buildings, was immediately pressed into service as an evacuation centre, then becoming a hostel for workers involved in the temporary repair of essential services. Following Cyclone Tracy, students of the school were temporarily enrolled to attend Casuarina High School situated approximately 8 kilometres away. The school was reopened in 1975 with classes starting at 7am to avoid heat as the air conditioning was not functioning. After a successful "Lighthouse" program, in 2007, Nightcliff began transitioning to a Middle School and retained Years 8 and 9. Present day In 2008, Nightcliff High School became a middle school for students in Years 7 to 9 and as a result was renamed Nightcliff Middle School. Sports The school caters for a wide range of sport including; cricket, Aussie rules, soccer, tennis and martial arts. Nightcliff Middle School is also the home of the Nightcliff Tigers Baseball Club.

Nobbies Centre

The Nobbies Centre is an ecotourism destination located at Point Grant, on the western tip of Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. Once known as the Seal Rocks Sea Life Centre, the centre is managed by the Phillip Island Nature Park, and features educational displays, a cafe, a children's play area, and a gift shop. Overlooking Seal Rocks, Australia's largest colony of fur seals, with an estimated 16,000 inhabiting the area, around half a million people visit the centre yearly, with 53% being international visitors. A network of boardwalks outside the centre allow visitors to view the seal colony, The Nobbies, and The Blowhole. History Work towards a privately developed marine centre at Point Grant commenced in January 1995 where a call for tenders was made by the Kennett Government. The winner was Seal Rocks Victoria Australia Pty Ltd (SRVA), which signed a 25-year build-operate-transfer contract with the State of Victoria in March 1997. The centre opened in April 1998 as the privately operated "Seal Rocks Sea Life Centre", with stage one of the development completed at a cost of $13 million, including the Nobbies Centre seen today. Stage two was to cost $50 million, and was to include a 1.9 kilometre long undersea tunnel leading to an observation tower at Seal Rocks. That expansion was opposed by local independent MP Susan Davies, who held the balance of power in the Bracks Government which took power at the 1999 state election. Contractual disputes relating to stage two of the project resulted in SRVA lodging a compensation claim against the State Government for breach of contract, resulting in the appointment of an independent arbitrator in July 2000 to settle the matter. An interim order was handed down in August 2002, finding that the Government had breached the original contract, and required the Government to pay $37.3 million in compensation in addition to the legal fees of the operator. The Government appealed the order in the Supreme Court of Victoria, and in September 2002 SRVA also lodged its own application in the Supreme Court, seeking up to $400 million as compensation for loss of future earnings. The State Government appeal was rejected in April 2003, with the Auditor-General finding in November 2003 that the final cost to the Government was $55.9 million. That was made up of $37.3 million compensation, $5.6 million in costs to SRVA, and $9.3 million in Government legal fees. The centre itself closed on 12 August 2002, after a mini-tornado tore the roof from the building, causing $200,000 damage and leaving 30 staff members out of work. In May 2005 the State Government announced $7.1 million in funding to repair the centre, which reopened to the public in April 2007.

Noble Park railway station

Noble Park station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Noble Park, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Noble Park station is an elevated premium station, with an island platform. It opened on 3 February 1913, with the current station provided in February 2018. History Noble Park station, like the suburb itself, is named after Noble Buckley, the son of Allan Buckley, who is recognised as the founder of the suburb. In 1927, the station was closed to goods traffic. In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the former Heatherton Road level crossing, which was located near the station in the up direction. In 1972, new ground-level station buildings were provided, after the original station building on Platform 1 had been destroyed by an arsonist on 22 August 1970. In 1977, boom barriers were provided at the former Heatherton Road level crossing. In 2007, minor upgrade works were carried out to the station as part of the EastLink toll road project. The upgrades including improved shelter, car parking and better security, including brighter lighting and better CCTV coverage. In September 2007, Sudanese Australian Liep Gony was murdered near Noble Park station by two white men, one of whom had previously expressed the desire to kill a black man. The murder sparked a media and political storm about so-called African gangs. In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced the grade separation of the Heatherton Road level crossing, with construction beginning in 2016. The final scheme involved elevating the line over Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler Roads and included a new high-level station, which opened on 15 February 2018. A row of shops now occupies the site of the former ground-level station buildings. In April 2025, during the 2025 Australian federal election campaign, the station's exterior was damaged after a Liberal Party campaign truck crashed into the station. Platforms and services Noble Park has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Cranbourne and Pakenham line trains.

Noosa Civic

Noosa Civic is a shopping centre located in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Major stores include Woolworths and Big W and the centre includes over 8,000 square metres of specialty retail stores. The development commenced construction in 2005 and stage one, consisting of 30,000 square metres of retail and commercial development in four precincts was opened in October 2006. Some controversy occurred to opponents of the development, complaining the development was approved on rare ecological wildlands and that a large-scale shopping centre detracted from what they claimed were Noosa's village-type ideals of local community. In its opening months, the marketing slogan used to promote the centre was "Bigger, Better, More", which some responded to negatively as a symbol of '80s-style greed, thus aggravated things considerably. After conducting market research, the developers changed to an inclusive slogan to "Where Noosa comes to shop... naturally", which they believed was more in keeping with Noosa's Biosphere reserve status and would potentially guide more locals to the centre, representing considerable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions due to less travel by car to more remote shopping locations. In 2012, the centre's initial developer, Stockwell, sold to the Queensland Government owned Queensland Investment Corporation for a reported sale price of $200 million. Some hope Myer, Target and other tenants could support a further stage of development of the centre to serve the local community and tourists. Local politicians and anti-development activists opposed the expansion of the centre. In 2015, Noosa Council rejected a development proposal to double the centre's size. This was upheld by the Planning and Environment Court. See also List of shopping centres in Australia References External links Noosa Civic
