Ross Female Factory

The Ross Female Factory, a former Australian workhouse for female convicts in the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, is located in the village of Ross, in the midlands region of Tasmania. The site was operational between 1848 and 1854. Collectively, Australia’s convict sites represent an exceptional example of the forced migration of convicts and an extraordinary example of global developments associated with punishment and reform. Representing the female experience, the Ross Female Factory demonstrates how penal transportation was used to expand Britain's spheres of influence, as well as to punish and reform female convicts. The overseer's cottage is open to public who can get a glimpse of the history of the convict site, which has been kept on display. The archaeological excavations of the site have revealed that the factory was divided into three sections - the Crime Class, the demoted Solitary Cells, and the promoted Hiring Class. These were considered the three stages of reform during the incarceration of the female convicts. History The Ross Female Factory opened in March 1848 and closed in November 1854. Transportation to Van Diemen's Land had ceased in 1853. The site served as a factory as well as a hiring depot, an overnight station for female convicts travelling between settlements, a lying-in hospital and a nursery. Female convicts were hired for many different reasons from the factory as probation passholders to local settlers, mainly to work as domestic servants. They could be sent back to the factory for punishment if they were charged with an offence by their master or mistress. The first Superintendent to be appointed was Dr William J Irvine; he also acted as the Medical Officer at the Factory. His wife Ann was appointed as Matron. The Police Department took over use of the buildings after the female factory closed in 1854. The chapel was used by the Roman Catholic Church. Several archaeological digs have been conducted at Ross Female Factory, under the supervision of Eleanor Casella since 1995. Hundreds of female convicts passed through the Ross Female Factory during its six and half years of operation. Some of their stories appear in Convict Lives at the Ross Female Factory.

Bruce Purser Reserve

Bruce Purser Reserve, known by naming rights sponsorship as Kanebridge Oval, is a sports facility in Rouse Hill, an outer suburb of Sydney, Australia. It was constructed between 2007 and 2008 on the site of a former rubbish tip, at the corner of Commercial Road and Withers Road. Its main feature is a grassed oval constructed to competition standards for Australian football and cricket. This is supplemented by practice pitches for cricket, an amenities building with changing rooms and a canteen, plus picnic areas and car parking. The ground is floodlit, enabling the playing of night matches. History In 2007 the then under construction ground, known then as the Withers Road complex, was given the name Bruce Purser. The AFL Sydney club East Coast Eagles were given permission to obtain naming rights for the oval. Construction was completed as the ground handed over to the East Coast Eagles in December 2008. It remains the home ground of the Eagles. The first major event at the Reserve was an Australian Football League pre-season competition match between the Sydney Swans and the Western Bulldogs on 7 March 2009. The game drew a crowd of 3,600. The ground was officially opened in a ceremony at half-time during that game by Hills Shire mayor Tony Hay. The Swans played North Melbourne in a NAB Cup match at Bruce Purser Reserve in 2012, which drew a crowd of 2,024. References External links Profile on Hills Shire local government website

Canberra Outlet Centre

Canberra Outlet Centre (formerly known as DFO Canberra and Homemaker Hub and Direct Factory Outlets Canberra) is an outlet type discount shopping centre located on the edge of Fyshwick, a light industrial suburb located in the southeast of Canberra. In addition to providing retail space for 100 specialty outlet stores, the Homewares/Furniture section of the centre is designed for 24 bulky goods retailers, such as furniture and electrical chains. Unlike many other outlet centres, the Canberra site is not adjacent to an airport. History Austexx acquired land at Fyshwick in 2005 at a reported cost of $39 million following a bidding war with the owners of Canberra Airport. In a move reminiscent of the 2004 Orange Grove affair, an unsuccessful legal challenge under the Trade Practices Act over the zoning of the site was brought against DFO by the Canberra Airport's rival venture, Brand Depot. Construction of the shopping centre involved clearing the greenfield site located adjacent to the junction of two major arterial roads, Canberra Avenue and Hindmarsh Drive. The centre, car parks and loading dock areas occupy 120,000m2 over two levels, with the car park below the retail floor. The building was completed on behalf of DFO's parent company Austexx by construction firm Contexx Pty Ltd in September 2008 at an approximate cost of $100 million. In March 2012, the Canberra DFO was announced as being placed in receivership by its struggling parent company. In 2013, it was renamed Canberra Outlet Centre (COC). In March 2017 the 44,870 square metre shopping precinct was purchased by Armada Funds Management on behalf of Deka Immobilien. References
Catholic Presbytery, Toodyay

The Catholic Presbytery, Toodyay is a former clergy house situated on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. The place was built to accommodate the resident priest at the St John the Baptist Church, Toodyay and has also been used as an education centre. In 1923 the building was officially opened in front of a large crowd by Patrick Clune, Lord Archbishop of Perth. Showers of rain spoiled the occasion, the guests having to crowd onto the verandah. Mr. and Mrs. B.M. Connor's good work on behalf of the church and convent was noted. The presbytery cost £1,300 to build, and was fitted with sewerage and other modern conveniences. The first resident priest was the Rev Father McBride. In c. 1949 Father Nolan was in residence. In 1954 Father O'Reilly was the host at the house for a card evening, where bridge and rummy were played and supper was served. The building was still owned by the Roman Catholic Church in 1975 when a survey was conducted by Ian Chitty for the Shire of Toodyay. A contemporary photograph in Chitty's report shows the building before the present Toodyay Stone wall, now at the front of the block, was erected. The former presbytery is part of the historic Catholic Precinct, Toodyay that also includes the St Aloysius Convent of Mercy school buildings. It is located near the present St John the Baptist Church. By December 1998 it had been sold by the Catholic Church and is now privately owned. The building is a single storey brick residence with a green corrugated iron roof and verandah. There are twin French doors facing Stirling Terrace. References
Cawse mine

The Cawse mine is a mothballed laterite nickel mine near Ora Banda in Western Australia. Cawse has a remnant Proven Reserve of 3.757 million tonnes of ore grading 0.65% nickel for 24,400 tonnes of nickel, as of 31 December 2009. The mine, opened in 1999, was Australia's first high pressure acid leaching operation to mine and treat laterite nickel ore to produce nickel metal on site. It was closed in October 2008, due to depressed metal prices. Cawse was developed by Centaur Mining & Exploration, with an annual capacity of 9,000 tonnes of nickel and up to 2,000 tonnes of cobalt. In 2001 it was sold to OM Group, and subsequently in 2007 was sold to Norilsk Nickel. In 2014 Norilsk Nickel, having placed the mine and plant on care-and-maintenance in 2008, sold it to Wingstar Investments for an undisclosed amount.

Collins Square

Collins Square is one of the largest commercial developments in Australia and the largest in the Melbourne central business district of Victoria, covering an area of c. two hectares (five acres). Description Located at 717-747 Collins Street, Melbourne in the Batman's Hill precinct in Melbourne's Docklands, Collins Square comprises approximately 260,000 square metres (2,800,000 sq ft) of commercial and retail floor space. The project also includes part of the historic No 2 Goods Shed and Lantern building. The Collins Square project was developed by Walker Corporation. Walker owns and manages the precinct with the exception of Tower 3, which is owned by CIMB-Trust Capital Advisors. As of October 2018, the project is understood to have had a market value of A$3 billion. Bates Smart led the design of the Master Plan including the retail podium, and three commercial towers. Buchan provided fine-grain advice on the design of the retail precinct. Hassell designed the third tower, with Woods Bagot designing the final tower. Sissons Architects also provided architectural services to Walker Corporation. Each of the towers feature artwork by prominent artists; John Olsen was commissioned to paint his 48-square-metre (520 sq ft) 'King Sun' for Tower 1. A large painting by Yannima Tommy Watson features in the lobby of Tower 5. The first tower was constructed by Built, with Multiplex completing the balance of the project in early 2018. Hutchinson constructed the Lantern Building and refurbished the Goods Shed. The commercial towers are supported by Cogeneration systems, rainwater harvesting, solar arrays, and regenerative lifts leading to 6 Star NABERS energy ratings. Collins Square has a number of multi-national companies as tenants; KPMG, AECOM, AUSTRAC, Mercer, Transurban, Grant Thornton, Marsh & McLennan, IWG plc, Pearson Publishing, Pepperstone, BDO Global, Tabcorp, Mott MacDonald the Commonwealth Bank, and the Australian Taxation Office.

Honeymoon Uranium Mine

The Honeymoon Mine was Australia's second operating in-situ recovery uranium mine, beginning production in 2011. It is located in South Australia and is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Broken Hill, New South Wales. Honeymoon is a sandstone-hosted paleochannel deposit. Operations at Honeymoon were suspended in November 2013, following difficulties in reaching production targets, high costs and a falling uranium price. The project was placed in care and maintenance, then sold by Uranium One (a 100% subsidiary of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation) to Boss Resources and Wattle Mining (as of March 2018 a subsidiary of Boss) in September 2015 for a sum of A$9 million. Boss Resources anticipates resuming production at the mine in 2019. History The Honeymoon deposit was discovered in 1972 by a joint venture (Minad-Teton-CEC JV) between Mines Administration (a subsidiary of CSR Limited), Carpentaria Exploration (subsidiary of Mount Isa Mines) and Teton Exploration Drilling Co (subsidiary of United Nuclear Corporation). In 1981, Minad submitted a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the South Australian and Commonwealth governments, and in 1982 established a $3.5 million demonstration 110 t/yr in-situ leach facility. The pilot plant comprised a pilot leach wellfield of three 5-spot leach patterns, a liquid disposal well, monitor wells, and a processing plant designed to treat pregnant leach solution at a rate of 25 liters per second. Before the pilot wellfield and the demonstration plant were commissioned, there was a change of government in both jurisdictions, approval to mine was deferred, and the project was placed in care and maintenance in June 1983. Between 15 March 1999 and 9 August 2000, a second series of leach trials was conducted. In May 2000, another EIS was produced by Southern Cross Resources (the Australian subsidiary of SXR Uranium One Inc). A mining licence was issued in 2001 and miscellaneous purposes licences were issued in 2002 and 2008. Construction of the Honeymoon mine commenced in late 2009 and was completed in 2011. Production from 2011 to 2013 was 312 tonnes of uranium. In November 2013 Uranium One announced "continuing difficulties in the production process and issues in attaining design capacity, combined with high mine operation costs." Honeymoon was shut down pending improved uranium prices and put on care and maintenance. Ownership In May 1988, total project ownership was transferred to Carpentaria's parent company, MIM Holdings, and in 1997 sold to Southern Cross Resources. Southern Cross Resources later became Uranium One Australia Pty Ltd. Uranium One Australia Pty Ltd was purchased by Boss Resources in 2015.
