Eastern Oval

Eastern Oval (formerly known as the Ballarat Cricket Ground) is an Australian rules football and cricket ground in the city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The first recorded match on the ground in 1862 when Ballarat played HH Stephenson's XI. The ground was an important early centre of cricket in Victoria, hosting the Australia team, as well as personal teams from important cricketing figures such as George Parr, W. G. Grace and John Lillywhite to name a few. The oval is characterised by its steep grassy embankments, historic timber grandstand, and large trees that surround the playing field. It remains popular as a sports venue in Ballarat because of its intimacy, closeness to the city centre, and historic character. Cricket More than a hundred years later the ground held its first First-Class match when Victoria played an England XI in a List A match in 1985. The only first-class match to be held there to date was played in 1990 when Victoria played an England XI. The ground was selected as a venue for the 1992 Cricket World Cup, staging a One Day International between England and Sri Lanka. This match resulted in an England win by 106 runs. Two further List A matches have been held there, one in the 2003/04 ING Cup between Victoria and Queensland and another between the same teams in the following season's competition. The oval hosted four games as part of the 2021-22 Women's Big Bash League season, including a derby between the Melbourne Renegades and the Melbourne Stars. Modern development In February 2015, the Ballarat City Council released its Master Plan for the 10 year development of the oval projected to cost $4.2 million (AUD). In 2016 $1 million of works had been completed including a new netball court with lighting, synthetic bowling green and synthetic cricket training facility. In February 2017, Cricket Victoria and the Ballarat City Council announced that the ground will receive a further $2 million (AUD) upgrade to develop it as one of eight State cricketing hubs. This project includes the upgrade of oval lighting to Cricket Australia's class two standard (300 lux to outfield and 500 lux to centre wicket), development of new turf wicket training facilities and redevelopment of the existing change facilities to make them female friendly. Australian rules football The venue was home to the East Ballarat Football Club before the Club merged with Golden Point FC in 2001 to form the East Point Football Club, which now uses the oval as its home. The ground is currently used to host most Ballarat Football and Netball League finals games. The oval was also periodically used by the Australian Football League for pre-season games until 2017, when the Western Bulldogs committed to playing two to three games each season at Eureka Stadium.

Eastern Treatment Plant

The Eastern Treatment Plant is an 1,100-hectare (4.2-square-mile) sewage treatment plant, located in the suburb of Bangholme in Victoria, Australia, 31 kilometres (19 miles) southeast of Melbourne's central business district. The plant was built in 1975 and is owned by Melbourne Water. Following treatment, some water is used as recycled water in the local area. South East Water is a major supplier of recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant. The rest is pumped through 56 kilometres (35 miles) of pipeline to discharge into Bass Strait at Boags Rocks on the Mornington Peninsula. Description The plant is on an 1,100 ha (4.2 sq mi) site bordered by the Patterson River to the north, the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to the west, and the EastLink Tollway to the south and east. The plant treats around 40 percent of Melbourne's sewage — about 330 megalitres or 270 acre-feet a day — from about 1.5 million people, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. It generates some of its own electricity, as well as heating and cooling power from biogas. Upgrade After years of lobbying by community groups led by the Clean Ocean Foundation, as of November 2011, the Eastern Treatment Plant was undergoing an upgrade to reduce environmental impact of the water discharge and increase water reuse applications of the water. The wastewater will be treated by ozone, biological filters, ultraviolet disinfection, and chlorine. The UV disinfection system that will be installed at the Plant will be the largest in Australia, consisting of 7 closed-vessel UV reactors. Birds Along with the nearby Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, the ETP is part of the Carrum Wetlands Important Bird Area (IBA) and supports many bird species of regional, state, national and international conservation significance. Species for which the IBA is globally important are the sharp-tailed sandpiper, blue-billed duck, chestnut teal and Australasian bittern. There is no public access to the ETP for birdwatchers but the birdlife has been monitored since 1998 by monthly surveys conducted by Birds Australia, with 177 species recorded for the site.

Edithvale railway station

Edithvale station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of the same name, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and opened on 20 September 1919. The current station was opened in November 2021. History Edithvale station gets its name from Edithvale Road, itself named after a local farm, Edithvale Farm, which was established in the 1850s and owned by John and Edith Greves. In its early years, a siding existed on the down side before Platform 2. In 1978, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Edithvale Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station. In 1981, the former ground level station buildings were provided. The Edithvale Road level crossing was grade separated under the Level Crossing Removal Project. Construction started in 2020, with the former ground-level station closing on 25 July 2021 for demolition. As part of the project, the line was lowered into a trench, and the station rebuilt, along with Chelsea and Bonbeach stations. On 22 November of that year, the new below-ground station opened to passengers. Platforms and services Edithvale has two side platforms and is served by Frankston line trains. Transport links Kinetic Melbourne operates one SmartBus route via Edithvale station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: SmartBus 902 : Chelsea station – Westfield Airport West Ventura Bus Lines operates two routes via Edithvale station, under contract to Public Transport Victoria: 706 : Mordialloc – Chelsea station (off-peak only) 858 : Edithvale – Aspendale Gardens References External links Melway map at street-directory.com.au
Edmund Rice Administration Wing

The Edmund Rice Administration Wing, commonly known as The Castle, is a heritage listed building located on Mount Henry Road in Salter Point and the focal point of the Aquinas College Campus. Built in 1937, the Castle was the first building completed on the campus. The building is owned by the Christian Brothers as part of the Aquinas College property. History The Castle was designed by Cavanagh and Cavanagh, and built over several stages; the tower and south wing were first to be completed in 1937. The north wing, anticipated in the original plans, was designed by Henderson & Thompson and completed in 1967. Deliberate efforts were made to design the north wing to echo the style, form and established materials of the original south wing, presenting visually, a three-storey façade, which cleverly conceal what is actually a four-storey building. The Castle was funded largely by donations and from money obtained from the sale of some of the original 234 acres (0.95 km2) purchased by the Christian Brothers in 1928. The Castle was heritage listed by the Heritage Council of Western Australia on 1 May 1989.

Edna May Gold Mine

The Edna May Gold Mine is a gold mine located at Westonia, Western Australia. It is operated by Ramelius Resources. The mine, planned to be in full production by the end of July 2010, is scheduled to produce in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold per annum. Historically, the Westonia region has produced 600,000 ounces of gold between 1911 and 1991. History Mining at Westonia has been carried out on three separate occasions since 1911. From 1911 to 1922, an underground operation produced 320,000 ounces of gold. In a second phase, from 1935 to 1947, 40,000 ounces were produced, again from an underground operation. The third phase, now as an open cut, run from 1986 to 1991 and produced 274,000 ounces of gold. The Edna May project was acquired by Catalpa in July 1993, when it was purchased from ACM Gold Pty Ltd. Catalpa, then as "Westonia Mines Limited", was first listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, the ASX, on 20 August 2002. It changed its name to Catalpa Resources Limited on 3 September 2008. The company was renamed after the ship Catalpa, which rescued Fenian convicts of the coast of Rockingham in 1876. Catalpa purchased the processing facility of the former Big Bell Gold Mine and relocated it to its site near Westonia in 2007 for a cost of A$5.2 million. It began refurbishing and constructing the plant in March 2009, aiming for a production start in mid-2010 and an annual production in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold. Construction cost of the mining project was estimated to be A$92 million. The company announced its first gold pour at the mine on 29 April 2010. Unlike many other mining projects in Western Australia, which utilise a fly-in fly-out workforce, Catalpa hoped to initially recruit up to 30% of its workers from local communities and planned to eventually increase this number to 50%, which it had achieved by the time of its opening in August 2010. Catalpa commenced a three-month ramp-up phase at the mine in May 2010, with full production scheduled to be achieved by 31 July 2010. The mine was officially opened on 1 August 2010 by Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett and Petroleum Minister Norman Moore. It is expected that the mine will be in operation for at least nine years and produce 100,000 ounces of gold per annum. In September 2017, Ramelius Resources acquired the mine from Evolution Mining for A$90 million, A$40 million of this as an up-front payment. Evolution Mining itself had been formed in the 2015 A$1.2 billion merger of Catalpa Resources and Conquest Mining. Apart from surface and underground mining at Edna May, ore was also carted to the mine's processing plant from the Marda mine surface operations to the north during the 2020–21 financial year. Additionally, transport of ore from the Tampia mine to the south of Edna May for processing commenced in July 2021.

Wright and Egg Islands

Wright en de Egg Islands is een groep van vijf onbewoonde riffen en één echt eiland (Egg Island) op circa 2 km van de noordkust van Tasmanië, nabij de plaats Devonport. De eilandjes vormen het boven water gelegen deel van het Horseshoe Reef. Een rif: Wright island, ligt wat apart van de overige groep van vijf riffen die samen 'Egg islands' genoemd worden. De eilanden zijn plat, ruig, nauwelijks begroeid en bestaan uit rotsen en rotsblokken die maar net boven water uit komen. Het enige echte eiland dat permanent boven water uit komt en begroeid is met vegetatie, Egg Island, meet 195 bij 63 meter en heeft een oppervlak van 0,83 ha. De eilandengroep ligt in het verlengde van een van beide startbanen van Devonport Airport. Beschermd natuurgebied De eilandengroep vormt een beschermd gebied van Tasmanië (Egg Islands Conservation Area) en is uitgeroepen tot Important Bird Area vanwege het broeden van een aanzienlijke kolonie blauwmaskeraalscholvers. Verder broeden hier zeevogels zoals de dwergpinguïn, de witkopmeeuw, de grote kuifstern en de reuzenstern.
ГЕС Eildon

ГЕС Eildon — гідроелектростанція південному сході Австралії. Використовує ресурс із річки Goulburn, лівої притоки Муррею (дренує західний схил Австралійських Альп та через озеро Александріна відноситься до басейну Великої Австралійської затоки Індійського океану). З 1929 року в районі сучасної станції Eildon існувала гребля Sugarloaf та працювала ГЕС з двома турбінами потужністю по 7,5 МВт. На початку 1950-х тут взялись за зведення нової, значно більшої греблі, виконаної як кам'яно-накидна споруда висотою 83 метри та довжиною 983 метри, що потребувала 10,2 млн м3 матеріалу. Вона утворила водосховище з площею поверхні 138 км2 та об'ємом 3,39 млрд м3. Гребля Sugarloaf при цьому виявилась затопленою новим резервуаром, а от дві її турбіни перенесли до машинного залу ГЕС Eildon (в подальшому їх вивели з експлуатації в 1971-му, а на початку 2000-х модернізували та знов повернули в роботу). Втім, головне обладнання пригреблевого машинного залу станції Eildon становлять запущені у 1956—1957 роках дві турбіни потужністю по 60 МВт. Ресурс подається до них по водоводу діаметром 7 метрів, при цьому напір, в залежності від рівня води у сховищі, становить від 24 до 46 метрів. Станція працює переважно влітку в піковому режимі та забезпечує виробництво 225 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Примітки

Electoral district of Bass

The electoral district of Bass is one of the electoral districts of Victoria, Australia, for the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers an area of 1,358 square kilometres (524 sq mi) south east of Melbourne, stretching from the satellite suburb of Clyde through rural areas to the coast at Inverloch and Phillip Island. It includes the suburbs and towns of Bass, Cape Paterson, Clyde, Corinella, Cowes, Grantville, Inverloch, Kilcunda, Koo Wee Rup, Lang Lang, Pearcedale, Rhyll, San Remo, Tooradin, Ventnor and Wonthaggi. It lies within the Eastern Victoria Region of the upper house, the Legislative Council. Bass was created in a redistribution for the 2002 election. It largely replaced the abolished electorate of Gippsland West, held by independent Susan Davies. However, the seat is located in traditional Liberal territory. Its predecessors, Gippsland West and Westernport, had historically been strongholds for the conservative parties. On the new boundaries it was marginally Liberal on a "traditional" two-party basis. Davies contested Bass, but was defeated by Liberal candidate Ken Smith, who had been the member for the relevant Legislative Council seat of Gippsland Province since 1988. Smith's win was the only Liberal gain in an election which saw Labor score its biggest-ever victory in Victoria. Smith was reelected in 2006 election with a modest swing in his favour. He was reelected handily at the 2010 election, picking up a swing large enough to revert Bass to a safe Liberal seat, as Gippsland West had been. He subsequently served as Speaker of the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 2010 to 2014. Smith retired at the 2014 state election after losing the speakership in February 2014, when he lost the support of balance of power independent MP Geoff Shaw. Brian Paynter, a local accountant, succeeded him as Liberal candidate and member for Bass. However, Paynter was swept out after only one term by Labor's Jordan Crugnale, who became the first Labor member ever to win the seat or its predecessors. In October 2025, Crugnale announced she would not re-contest the seat at the 2026 state election.

Elephant Spit

Der Elephant Spit ist eine 7 km lange Nehrung aus Sand und Kies, die das östliche Ende der Insel Heard im südlichen Indischen Ozean bildet. Nur wenige Bereiche liegen höher als 2 m, während andere vom Meer überspült werden. Sie endet im Spit Point. Infolge zunehmender Erosion ist das Objekt inzwischen segmentiert in die Insel Alert Island mit dem Spit Point, das Elephant Reef und den Alfred Point. Benannt ist sie nach den See-Elefanten, welche die Nehrung in großer Zahl als Rastplatz aufsuchen. Weblinks Elephant Spit im Verzeichnis des Australian Antarctic Data Centre (englisch)
Elephant Spit

Elephant Spit is a 9 km long sand spit at the eastern end of subantarctic Heard Island, in the Australian territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands, lying in the Southern Ocean on the Kerguelen Plateau about 450 km south-east of the Kerguelen Islands. The name refers to southern elephant seals, also known as sea elephants, which breed in large numbers on Heard Island and formed the basis for commercial sealing for oil there during the 19th century. Description Elephant Spit is long, thin, straight and conspicuous, giving the island a distinctive shape as seen from space. It borders Spit Bay to the north and west, and is formed of sediments derived from the glacial erosion of volcanic material from eruptions by Big Ben, which have made the seabed south-east of the island relatively shallow. Heard Island is isolated, uninhabited, and rarely visited. When the island was visited in 2002 and 2003 by scientists from the Australian Antarctic Division, the spit was intact. However, a following visit in late 2008 found that a section of the eastern end of the spit had become inundated by the ocean, forming a 2-km-long island.

Prevlaka Elephant

Prevlaka Elephant (eng. Elephant Spit) je 9 km duga pješčani sprud na istočnom kraju subantarktičkog otoka Heard, u australskom teritoriju otoka Heard i McDonaldovih otoka, leži u Južnom oceanu na visoravni Kerguelen oko 450 km jugoistočno od otočja Kerguelen. Ime se odnosi na južne morske slonove (Mirounga leonina), također poznate kao morski slonovi, koji se razmnožavaju u velikom broju na otoku Heard i koji su tamo bili osnova za komercijalni lov na tuljane tijekom 19. stoljeća. Opis Prevlaka Elephant je duga, tanka, ravna i uočljiva, dajući otoku karakterističan oblik gledano iz svemira. Graniči sa zaljevom Spit Bay na sjeveru i zapadu i formiran je od sedimenata koji potječu od glacijalne erozije vulkanskog materijala od erupcija Big Bena koje su morsko dno jugoistočno od otoka učinile relativno plitkim. Otok Heard je izoliran, nenaseljen i rijetko ga se posjećuje. Kada su 2002. i 2003. godine otok posjetili znanstvenici iz Australskog antarktičkog odjela, sprud je bio netaknut. Međutim, sljedeća posjeta krajem 2008. godine otkrila je da je dio istočnog kraja spruda preplavio ocean, formirajući otok dug 2 km. Izvori
