Blue Rock Dam

The Blue Rock Dam is an embankment dam across the Tanjil River, located approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Moe, in the Central Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Completed in 1984, the dam created the Blue Rock Lake, to provide cooling water for the thermal power stations in the Latrobe Valley, and to augment domestic water supplies. The dam is operated by Southern Rural Water. Dam and reservoir overview The rock-filled dam wall is 72 metres (236 ft) high and 600 metres (2,000 ft) long. When full, the resultant reservoir has a storage capacity of 208 gigalitres (169,000 acre⋅ft) and covers 873 hectares (2,160 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 360 square kilometres (140 sq mi). The controlled chute spillway has a discharge capacity of 1,200 cubic metres per second (42,000 cu ft/s). The Blue Rock Lake has two recreation areas on its shore and small power boats are allowed to be used. In 1992, Pacific Energy installed a small 2.4-megawatt (3,200 hp) conventional hydroelectric generator that is linked to the national grid. Body found Jaidyn Leskie was a one-year-old child who disappeared from his babysitter's house in Moe on 15 June 1997. A large scale search was initiated in the hope of finding him alive; however, it was unsuccessful. Found deceased on 1 January 1998 at the Blue Rock Dam, his body was preserved by the cold waters of the lake through winter. His clothing was DNA tested in an effort to solve the crime. A subsequent trial for his murder was proven not guilty, and a 2006 inquest was inconclusive as to the perpetrator of the murder.

Blues Point Tower

Blues Point Tower is an apartment block in Sydney, Australia. Located in McMahons Point, close to North Sydney, the tower is 83 metres (272 ft) tall with 144 apartments over 24 levels. The building is regarded by some critics (since the 1980s) as one of the ugliest buildings in Sydney. History Construction was completed in 1961, and strata title obtained in 1962, and it was Australia's tallest residential building until 1970. The architect was Harry Seidler, who had previously been involved in a volunteer lobbying concept for a high-density redevelopment for the entire suburb. Reacting to a 1957 suggestion that the peninsular area be zoned for industrial use, the McMahons Point and Lavender Bay Progress Association approached Seidler to volunteer to help lobby the state authority against the proposal. Harry Seidler with a team of other architectural volunteers (Lyle Dunlop, Harry Howard, Richard Fitzharding, Ivan Seifert, Andrew Young, Philip Jackson, Douglas Gordan and Michael Boyle) proposed a redevelopment planning concept for lobbying purposes to envision the site for residential use. The conceptual scheme involved residential buildings of different heights (low near water edge and higher towers on the rim) all with harbour views, sports oval, a suburban electronic train station beneath an office building and parking station, secondary schoool, parking station, church, community hall, nursery, music shell, shopping centre and parking station, theatre, and ferry wharf with a rectangular tourist hotel for the site where Blues Point Tower was later built. < ref Urban redevelopment concerns you! / Harry Seidler, Lyle Dunlap, Harry Howard, Richard Fitzhardinge, Ivan Seifert, Andrew Young, Philip Jackson, Douglas Gordon, Michael Boyle, 1957 url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/13050509>. Architecture and heritage value The heritage listing for the Tower describes it as a "Conspicuous, though unpopular, example of Internationalist style. This landmark building was innovative in its day and intended as a forerunner of a whole movement in architecture and high-density housing". Criticism Since the mid 1980s, Blues Point Tower is considered by many Sydney residents to be inconsistent with its surrounding buildings and cityscape. Over time, many public figures have criticised it, or even called for its demolition. However, in 1993, North Sydney Council added the building to its local heritage register. "Come on, this is old news, stupid bloody nonsense, I'm sick to death of it. ... I've always thought Blues Point Tower is one of my best buildings and I stand by that. Anybody who can't see anything in it ought to go back to school." References
Torre Blues Point

La Torre Blues Point (in inglese: Blues Point Tower) è un grattacielo residenziale di Sydney in Australia. Storia I lavori di costruzione vennero completati nel 1962, facendo della torre l'edificio residenziale più alto d'Australia fino al 1970. L'architetto che la progettò fu Harry Seidler, che aveva pianificato una riqualificazione ad alta densità per l'intero sobborgo di McMahons Point, dove sorge la torre. In risposta a una proposta del 1957 che suggeriva di destinare l'area all'uso industriale, Seidler propose invece di costruire centinaia di appartamenti, tutti con vista sull'acqua. Nonostante il rifiuto della proposta di zonizzazione industriale, il sostegno politico per il piano di Seidler svanì rapidamente e la Torre Blues Point fu l'unico elemento del progetto ad essere realizzato. Seidler fu incaricato da Dick Dusseldorp, attraverso la sua azienda Civil & Civic. L'ufficio di cantiere dell'azienda durante i lavori di costruzione si trovava in una villa vittoriana degli anni 1870, chiamata Bellvue, che occupava precedentemente il sito. Nel febbraio del 2011 un'antenna radar alta 6 metri è stata aggiunta alla sommità dell'edificio. Descrizione L'edificio presenta uno stile internazionale.

The Lodge

The Lodge est la résidence officielle du Premier ministre australien, ainsi que la résidence de sa famille dans la capitale, à Canberra. Elle se situe sur Adelaide Avenue, à Deakin. Histoire The Lodge est une grande maison de deux étages située sur un terrain de 18 000 mètres carrés. Cette bâtisse fut la première à être construite et était initialement destinée au logement du Ministre des Finances. Elle fut allouée finalement au Premier ministre quand les travaux sur les autres résidences furent annulées pour cause de restrictions budgétaires. Elle fut construite de 1926 à 1927, et fut réalisée par un constructeur de Sydney, J. G. Taylor of Glebe. La décoration intérieure a été faite sous la supervision d'une décoratrice d'intérieur de Melbourne, Mme Ruth Lane-Poole. Le premier Premier ministre à habiter dans The Lodge fut Stanley Bruce, qui s'installa en mai 1927, après que la capitale fut transférée de Melbourne à Canberra. Son successeur James Scullin (1929-1932) avait, alors qu'il était leader de l'opposition, protesté contre les frais de fonctionnement de The Lodge ; aussi s'installa-t-il à l'Hotel Canberra (l'actuel Hyatt Hotel) durant son mandat de Premier Ministre. Cependant son successeur, Joseph Lyons, choisit de s'installer à The Lodge et tous ses successeurs ont fait de même à l'exception de : Ben Chifley (premier Ministre de 1945 à 1949) qui préféra le Kurrajong Hotel, où résidait à l'époque la majorité des hommes politiques du parti travailliste australien et où il mourut et John Howard (Premier Ministre de 1996 à 2007) qui choisit de ne résider à The Lodge que lorsque ses fonctions l'obligeaient d'être à Canberra et qui habita le reste du temps à Kirribilli House à Sydney.

Bonnyrigg Sports Club

Bonnyrigg Sports Club is the home of the Bonnyrigg White Eagles football (soccer) club in Bonnyrigg, New South Wales, Australia. The ground has played host to some notable matches over the years but none more so than the friendly clash between the Bonnyrigg White Eagles and the high-profile 1991 European Cup Champions Red Star Belgrade, who were in Australia on a mid-season break in January 2001. History The ground dates back to May 1966, when 7 acres (28,000 m2) of land was purchased for the building of a social club and football grounds. Over the years the grounds and club itself were improved when in 1986 it became the permanent home ground for the Avala Sports Club (which would become the Bonnyrigg White Eagles in 1993). In 2001, an additional 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land was purchased as part of a plan to renovate the club and expand the training grounds. This was completed in October 2005.

Bonython Hall

Bonython Hall is the "great hall" of the University of Adelaide, located in the university grounds and facing North Terrace, Adelaide. The building is on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate and the South Australian Heritage Register. It is primarily used for University graduation ceremonies, examinations, expositions and public lectures and meetings likely to draw large audiences. History The hall was built in the period 1933-1936 as a result of a donation of over £50,000 from Sir John Langdon Bonython. It was opened on 8 September 1936 by Governor-General Lord Gowrie and the first public lecture was held a week later. Folklore There are many local legends about the building, with two being particularly resilient: Bonython Hall is opposite Pulteney Street. Folklore has it that the Bonython donation was made on the condition that a hall be built opposite Pulteney Street, thus blocking any future path through the parklands and preventing the division of the campus by a major thoroughfare. Folklore also maintains that the Bonython family were very conservative and did not want the building used as a dance hall. Hence, the hall was designed and built with a sloping floor rather than flat floor. Renovation works Beginning in 2005, the University has been conducting renovation works. The quality of these works has been rewarded with an Award of Merit at the 2007 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation. Gallery References

Bonython Hall es el salón principal (del inglés Great Hall) de la Universidad de Adelaida. Ubicado en el interior del campus, se encuentra junto a la vía North Terrace.​ El edificio se encuentra en el Registro del Patrimonio Nacional y el Registro del Patrimonio Australiano del Sur. Se usa para ceremonias de graduación de la universidad, exámenes, exposiciones, reuniones y conferencias públicas.​​ Historia El inmueble fue construido entre 1933 y 1936, gracias a una donación de más de 50,000 libras esterlinas por parte de sir John Langdon Bonython.​ Leyendas populares Hay varias leyendas locales sobre el edificio, dos de ellas especialmente populares: Bonython Hall está enfrente de Pulteney Street, la única de las calles de la ciudad con dirección norte-sur que no continúa hacia el norte a través de los parques. Un dicho popular afirma que la donación de Bonython fue hecha con la condición de que se construyera una sala frente a la calle Pulteney, bloqueando así cualquier vía a través de los parques e impidiendo la división del campus.​ La tradición también sostendría que la familia Bonython, muy conservadora, no quería que el edificio fuera usado como salón de baile. Por dicha razón, la sala habría sido diseñada con un suelo inclinado.​​ Trabajos de renovación En 2005, la universidad empezó a realizar obras de renovación, que fueron galardonadas con un Premio al Mérito en los Premios UNESCO Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Asia y el Pacífico 2007 para la Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural.​​​ Referencias
Boomerang (Elizabeth Bay)

Boomerang è una storica residenza della città di Sydney in Australia. Storia La casa venne costruita nel 1926 per Frank Albert, un ricco editore musicale, e progettata dall'architetto Neville Hampson. Il giardino fu invece progettato da M.R. (Max) Shelley, forse in collaborazione con Hampson. Fu costruita sul sito di una casa precedente anch'essa chiamata Boomerang e facente parte di una schiera di case edoardiane costruite con una suddivisione del 1875 della tenuta di Elizabeth Bay. Albert risiedette a Boomerang fino alla sua morte nel 1962, dopodiché la casa rimase chiusa ma curata da un custode fino al 1978. La villa è stata inserita nel registro del patrimonio statale del Nuovo Galles del Sud il 2 aprile 1999. Descrizione La villa, situata su un terreno con affaccio sulla baia di Sydney nel sobborgo di Elizabeth Bay, presenta uno stile neomissionario spagnolo.

Booragoon Lake

Booragoon Lake is a small freshwater lake in suburban Perth, Western Australia. The freshwater lake is situated in the suburb of Booragoon and is bounded by Leach Highway, Lang Street and Aldridge Road. It makes up part of the eastern wetland of the Beeliar Regional Park along with Blue Gum Lake and North Lake. The reserve that the lake is part of has a total area of 23,161 square metres (6 acres). The wetland is part of the East Beeliar chain of wetlands. The lake supports large numbers of breeding birds, including the largest known breeding colony of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Western Australia. It is also one of the largest breeding colonies of the little black cormorant (P. sulcirostris) in south-western Australia. It is listed as a Wetland of International Importance due to meeting one Ramsar criterion. The lake is fed by groundwater and stormwater drainage from surrounding urban streets. The site is contains a board walk and flor a fauna information signs managed by the City of Melville, and is an important area for nature conservation and nature study. Booragoon Lake is surrounded by low closed-forest of river gum (Eucalyptus rudis) and swamp paperbark trees (Melaleuca rhaphiophylla). Other species include Banksia littoralis and Astartea fascicularis. The closed-scrub is dominated by Melaleuca teretifolia. The site holds significance to the Beeliar Nyoongar people due to the seasonal presence of freshwater, birds, shellfish and turtles for food.

Booragoon bus station

Booragoon bus station is a Transperth bus station located next to the Westfield Booragoon shopping centre in Booragoon, Western Australia. It has 13 stands and is served by nine Transperth routes, in addition to a number of school buses and School Special services. The original Booragoon bus station opened in September 1976. Booragoon bus station, is located at the corner of Riseley and Marmion Streets, and is the fourth bus station to have existed on the shopping centre premises, being built upon the site previously occupied by the Booragoon Hotel. Previous iterations of the bus station have existed at various locations on the premises, including at the main entrance from Riseley Street, adjacent the Booragoon Hotel (slightly west of the current ANZ Branch) and adjacent to Davy Street before the road was rerouted as a result of car-park expansions. Continued expansion of the shopping centre has necessitated construction of new stations.

Boronia Park

The Boronia Park, or the Boronia Park Reserve, is a waterfront parkland and nature reserve wholly within the suburb of Hunters Hill, in the Municipality of Hunter's Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The park dates back to pre-colonial New South Wales, with original and widely diverse flora and fauna: ...Boronia Park is the best place to gain an idea of Hunter's Hill's pre-European landscape, as it has the largest intact stretch of bushland. Its sandstone slopes carry characteristic open-forest of Eucalyptus piperita, Eucalyptus gummifera and Angophora costata, with a great variety of understorey shrubs and small trees. Towards the top of the slope is an area of Kunzea ambigua shrubland, while Blackbutt, Eucalyptus pilularia grow on the more sheltered aspects, and a small creek tumbles down a steep waterfall to form a pool beside Grey Mangroves along the river's edge...the Turpentine-Ironbark forest's only remnant in Hunters Hill today is a small stand of Syncarpia glomulifera, with some understorey shrubs, near the entrance to Boronia Park... Etymology The park was named after the Boronia ledifolia which is all but locally extinct, probably due to the introduction of rabbits in the 19th century. Geography The Boronia Park is bordered in Hunters Hill by Park Road to the west, High Street to the north, Ryde Road to the south and the Lane Cove River and Boronia Avenue to the east. Boronia Park Reserve contains Brickmakers Creek where the water flows over Tipperary Falls, a 10-metre (33 ft) high waterfall on a Hawkesbury sandstone escarpment before entering the Lane Cove River through a tidal pool lined with saltmarsh, mangrove, Avicienna marina and Casuarina glauca. Public use and amenities Three ovals are available for playing various sports and it is also the home of the Hunters Hill Rugby Union Football Club and Ryde Hunters Hill Pirates Cricket Club. The main oval has one grandstand which contains several rows of seats. The Boronia Park Public School, named after the parkland and reserve, is located on the east side of Pittwater Road (between Pittwater Road and Earl Street), wholly within the suburb of Hunters Hill. It provides schooling for around 650 pupils of the local area. It prides itself in its beautiful grounds, much of which is shaded by leafy trees which are characteristic of the area. Nearby is the Gladesville-Boronia Park Uniting Church. The Great North Walk passes through Boronia Park just downstream of Tipperary Falls. See also Protected areas of New South Wales References
