Edificio GIO

L'Edificio GIO (in inglese: GIO Building), già noto come l'Edificio Sun (in inglese: Sun Building), è uno storico edificio commerciale di Sydney in Australia. Storia L'edificio venne fatto erigere dal quotidiano australiano Sun Newspaper come nuova sede dei propri uffici. Il progetto venne selezionato tramite un concorso appositamente indetto nel 1926. Le proposte vennero giudicate dal professor Leslie Wilkinson, decano della facoltà di architettura dell'Università di Sydney, e da Kingsley Henderson, un affermato architetto di Melbourne il cui studio d'architettura è responsabile del progetto di diversi importanti edifici per uffici costruiti in tutta l'Australia tra gli anni 1920 e gli inizi degli anni 1930. A essere selezionato vincitore fu il piano redatto dell'architetto Joseph Kethel; E. Leslie James fece da ingegnere strutturale per il progetto. La proprietà passò il 15 giugno 1955 al Government Insurance Office (GIO). Gli interni dell'edificio venne allora pesantemente ristrutturato, sancendo la perdita di molte delle finiture originarie. Descrizione L'edificio, situato nel CBD di Sydney, presenta uno stile neogotico. È attiguo all'Edificio APA.

Bedout Island

Bedout Island ist eine kleine zu Australien gehörende Insel. Sie liegt im östlichen Indischen Ozean etwa 40 km nördlich der Mündung des De Grey River. Administrativ gehört sie zur Region Pilbara in Western Australia und wird vom Department of Environment and Conservation verwaltet. Geographie Bedout Island hat eine Fläche von 41 Hektar. Es herrscht ein arides Klima. Der jährliche Niederschlag beläuft sich auf etwa 300 mm. Gelegentlich wird die Insel von tropischen Wirbelstürmen getroffen, so zum Beispiel im April 2023, als Zyklon Ilsa die Insel mit über zehn Minuten anhaltenden Windgeschwindigkeiten von 218 km/h traf und damit einen neuen Windrekord für Australien aufstellte. Flora und Fauna Die Vegetation von Bedout Island besteht aus Süßgräsern der Art Spinifex longifolius. Die Insel wurde von BirdLife International als Important Bird Area (IBA, „wichtiges Vogelgebiet“) identifiziert. Sie weist die weltweit größte Population von Weißbauchtölpeln auf. Darüber hinaus zählen zur Avifauna der Insel der Arielfregattvogel, der Maskentölpel, die Eilseeschwalbe, die Rüppellseeschwalbe, die Silberkopfmöwe und der Weißbauch-Seeadler. Auf der Insel eingeführte Ratten wurden 1991 erfolgreich bekämpft. Einzelnachweise
Bedout Island

Bedout Island is a small Western Australian island on the Pilbara coast. It lies 42 kilometres (26 mi) offshore from Larrey Point and the mouth of the De Grey River, and 96 kilometres (60 mi) north-east of Port Hedland. It was named by Baudin during his exploration in the early 1800s after Jacques Bedout. Geography Bedout is a low and undulating, 31-hectare (77-acre) sandy cay on limestone bedrock, heavily vegetated with beach spinifex. A navigational beacon is found in the centre of the island. There are three listed shipwrecks in the surrounding waters, all wrecked between 1890 and 1912. At some time in the past black rats were inadvertently introduced, probably by visiting pearling vessels in the late 19th century, but were eradicated in 1991. Climate Bedout Island has a tropical desert climate (Köppen: BWh); with a highly erratic rainfall due to receiving precipitation from irregular tropical cyclones. Extreme temperatures have ranged from 40.2 °C (104.4 °F) on 20 November 2015 to 13.0 °C (55.4 °F) on 13 July 2006. Status The island is an A-class nature reserve, managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation. It is part of the Western Australian Coastal Islands (Dixon Island to Cape Keraudren) site which is listed on Australia's Register of the National Estate. It is also classified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because of its seabird breeding colonies. The Bedout Island Nature Reserve was declared in 1975 and has a size of 31 hectares (77 acres). Birds The island supports over 1,000 nesting pairs of brown boobies, making it one of the largest colonies in Western Australia. This species regularly incorporates anthropogenic debris into its nests, presumably mistaking items for nesting materials, including on Bedout Island where around 5% of over 700 nests surveyed in 2016 and 2017 contained debris (primarily hard plastic fragments, rope, and fishing line). Bedout Island is also home to over 1,000 nesting pairs each of common noddies and crested terns, 500–1,000 lesser frigatebirds, 100–500 masked boobies, as well as lesser crested, roseate and sooty terns, silver gulls and white-bellied sea eagles. Many of these do not breed elsewhere in the Pilbara. The main breeding season comprises the winter months from May to September. References

Neville Bonner Bridge

The Neville Bonner Bridge is a pedestrian bridge spanning the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia, connecting the Queen's Wharf precinct in the Brisbane central business district to the South Bank Parklands in South Brisbane. The bridge opened to the public on 28 August 2024. It is named after Neville Bonner, a Queensland politician and the first Indigenous member of the Parliament of Australia. The design concept for the bridge, by Grimshaw Architects, is an arch and single mast cable-stayed bridge with continuous shading supported by a mid-river pier. A large observation deck is located in the centre of the bridge. Up to 10,000 people are expected to use the bridge every day. Cyclists will not be permitted to use the bridge. The cost of the bridge's construction was estimated in 2019 to be around $100 million. This cost was paid by the Destination Brisbane Consortium, with ownership subsequently transferred to the Queensland Government upon its completion. Prior to the official opening in 2024, a preview event for approximately 500 pedestrians was held on 2 September 2023. History The bridge is part of the Queen's Wharf development in the Brisbane central business district. Construction on the bridge had begun by March 2020. During construction in June 2021, the Riverside Expressway was partially closed so that pieces of the bridge could be placed above the road. Close to the banks piles were dug 30 metres into the ground to support the structure, while in the river a depth of 35 metres was reached. The final 10-metre, 20-tonne span was placed on the morning of 27 February 2023. Design The bridge was designed by Neil Stonell from Grimshaw Architects. The “lightweight yet dramatic” design incorporates 1,000 tonnes of fabricated structural steel, engineered to create an “elegant and efficient outcome”. The cable-stayed bridge is 320 metres (1,050 feet) long. The maximum mast height is 75 metres (246 feet). The clearance for river vessels is 11.4 to 12.7 metres (37 to 42 feet) from high water level to the bridge deck. This is the same height as the Victoria and Captain Cook Bridges. The bridge is fully shaded. It features two arches, each 60 metres long and weighing 90 tonnes. The walkway is suspended from the arches which reach a height of 30 metres above the river. The majority of the load is placed on the central pier. A piled abutment foundation at Southbank is used to tie back the arches. The bridge has been designed to withstand wind speeds greater than 220 km per hour and to resist a 1 in 2000-year flood event.

Treasury Buildings, Perth

The Treasury Buildings, or Old Treasury Buildings, are part of the Cathedral Square complex situated between Barrack Street and St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. In the 1890s the buildings were known as the Government Buildings or Government Offices prior to the Treasury being situated in the building. The location was considered as significant in that the site of the founding of the city of Perth in 1829 was on the north west corner of the complex. The buildings contained a range of government departments and office until the late 20th century. The Premier of Western Australia had offices in the building in the 1920s, and in 1929 protests focused on gathering in front of the buildings were conducted by unemployed. In the early 21st century, the building was re-developed. It became part of the revitalised Cathedral Square complex, with the name State Buildings. References
Wentworth Hotel, Perth

The Wentworth Hotel building is located on the northwestern corner of Murray Street and William Street in Perth, Western Australia. It is part of the Raine Square block, and is included in heritage assessments of that block. History The hotel was known as the Gordons Hotel prior to the First World War. It was rebuilt by Mary Thomas (later Mary Raine) in 1927–1928 as the Wentworth, with Western Australian newspapers seeing the centenary of the state in 1929 as a motivation for new and renovated hotels for increased accommodation. During the Second World War the hotel attracted publicity over fighting between troops, causing the hotel to be made out of bounds to troops. The hotel was also cautioned on drinks provision by the licensing court in the same year. The Wentworth was once one of the busiest footfall locations in Perth. In the late 60's and early 70's, most locations in Perth would have a newspaper seller on a street corner, including in the late afternoon and early evening, and many younger boys did the after-school shift selling the Daily News. The Wentworth was the prime pitch, and always made the most sales and tips. On Saturdays the regular seller (an older man who used to spend his earnings in the Wentworth bar) did not work, so the Wentworth pitch was offered on a rolling rota to the youngsters. For a young man, the Wentworth pitch was a great way to make some cash and develop sales experience. References

Jack Watkins Reserve

Jack Watkins Reserve is a park in the Australian state of South Australia situated adjacent to the Islington Railway Workshops in the suburb of Kilburn within the local government area of City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The park was named after Jack Watkins, a union organiser and former president of The Asbestos Diseases Society of South Australia who successfully lobbied to remove asbestos and other toxic contaminants from the railway site and adjacent properties. The park was opened in late August 2003 as a tribute to the large number of former railway workers who succumbed to asbestos-related diseases while working at the yard. The park contains a memorial walkway leading to a central memorial featuring four pillars, inscribed Tough Times, Strength, mates and ratbags. The park also contains a playground, public murals, barbecue facilities and a dog park. A memorial service is held each year in the park on 24 November to honour the victims of asbestos related disease. On 25 November 2016, the day after Asbestos Victims Memorial Day, the park was shut indefinitely due to eight pieces of asbestos being found, risking a health hazard to members of the public. Mayor Gary Johanson stated that "someone deliberately went and seeded the reserve with asbestos particles". The park has since been decontaminated and reopened while a full investigation is underway See also List of Adelaide parks and gardens References
