St John the Baptist Church, Toodyay

St John the Baptist Church is a Roman Catholic church in Toodyay, Western Australia, part of a group of church buildings. It was built and consecrated in 1963. It is the second church of that name, replacing the one built in 1863. History The new church replaced the original St John the Baptist Church across the road. The older building was in poor repair, and in 1963, when the standard gauge railway line also came through in close proximity, a decision was made to relocate. After fundraising and support from the shire and local businesses, the church was officially opened on 17 November 1963 with the blessing of M. McKeon, Auxiliary Bishop of Perth. The altar and tabernacle of the new church were donated by the O'Connor estate. A brass plaque, transferred from the former church, commemorates the contribution of the Quinlan family.

Rockingham General Hospital

Rockingham General Hospital is a public hospital in Rockingham, Western Australia, in the south west of the Perth Metropolitan Region. The 18-hectare (44-acre) hospital was originally known as Rockingham Kwinana District Hospital, but was renamed in 2008 during a major redevelopment. The 229-bed hospital has an emergency department, operating theatres, and medical, surgical and paediatric wards. There are also aged care rehabilitation, intensive care, mental health, chemotherapy, and obstetrics units. History A 64-bed hospital was proposed for the Kwinana and Rockingham areas in 1954, following population growth due to the development of the Kwinana Oil Refinery. This proposal was driven by the need to address the increasing healthcare demands of the burgeoning population in these regions . In June 2007, a major redevelopment project began to upgrade the district hospital to a larger general hospital. The redevelopment aimed to enhance the hospital's capacity and services to better serve the community's growing needs. The first phase of the project involved the construction of a new building, which was completed in October 2008. This phase focused on expanding the hospital's infrastructure and improving its facilities. The second phase of the redevelopment involved renovating the existing hospital building. Significant portions of this phase were completed by September 2009, including updates to various departments and facilities to ensure they met modern healthcare standards. The project culminated in September 2010 with the opening of new chemotherapy and maternity units, providing essential services to the community and marking the completion of the comprehensive upgrade. These improvements have been instrumental in enhancing the quality of healthcare available to residents of the Kwinana and Rockingham areas, reflecting the ongoing commitment to meeting the region's healthcare needs. Awards The Rockingham General Hospital Emergency Department has received two national awards from the Australian College of Emergency Medicine (ACEM) awards, the Wellbeing Award, and the Diversity and Inclusion Award. The ACEM Wellbeing Award is an annual award that recognises the initiative a member, group of members, or an emergency department that resulted in an enhancement of wellbeing for their emergency department colleagues. The award goes to those who proactively promote the physical and mental wellbeing of emergency department staff. The ACEM Diversity and Inclusion Award was established in 2020 as part of the College’s discrimination, Bullying, and Sexual Harassment (DBSH) Action Plan. The award goes to those dedicated to fostering a welcoming and diverse environment in the emergency department.

Toodyay Fire Station

Toodyay Fire Station is on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. Architectural style Toodyay Fire Station was designed by architect Ken Duncan, a member of the Volunteer Fire Brigade, and was built in 1938. It is notable for its Art Deco facade. It is one of two single bay Stripped Classical fire stations built during the Western Australian Fire Brigades Board's 1930s building campaign. It is rendered in part and bricked to a lower level, all painted. An extension to the side is in the same style.

The fire station services were relocated to a new building in 2002. The Toodyay Fire Station is now used as an art gallery. References
Toodyay Post Office

The Toodyay Post Office and residence is located in Toodyay, Western Australia on the corner of Stirling Terrace and Duke Street North. It was designed by colonial architect George Temple-Poole and was part of a scheme by the Public Works Department. Over 100 post offices were built to a standard design during the late 1890s; the Toodyay Post Office is one of the few remaining examples. Postal services began in Toodyay in 1842. The telephone was connected in 1907, and by 1949 the Toodyay (telephone) Exchange serviced about 120 local connections. At this time the staff comprised three postal assistants and four telephonists. Nine mails were despatched weekly to Perth and ten were received via a taxi service ("Miss Toodyay" operating out of the Toodyay Garage) or by rail. Some weather measurements were taken at the post office in Toodyay in the 1940s. It was added to the State Heritage Register in 1995, with the listing noting that the building was "a fine example of both turn-of-the-century Public Works architecture and civic architecture of George Temple-Poole". As at 2019, the building is no longer used for postal services which are provided from a new location on Piesse Street. Since 2011, Uniquely Toodyay, a Co-operative store- run by locals who make/grow/produce and then sell there products, have called it home.

Sail and Anchor

The Sail and Anchor is a pub located on the corner of South Terrace and Henderson Street in Fremantle, Western Australia, opposite the Fremantle Markets. It is owned by the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH). History The Freemasons' Hotel, was constructed in 1901–1903. It replaced the hotel that was originally constructed on the site in 1854 for Nicholas Paterson and Anthony Cornish. In 1901, James Gallop purchased the Freemasons' Hotel property and commissioned architect Frederick William Burwell to design a new hotel for the site. Burwell also designed the Central Chambers, Victoria Pavilion, Fowler's Warehouse, Owston's Buildings and Marmion House. The construction was undertaken by William Reynolds and was carried out in stages so that the hotel could continue to trade. In the 1920s, a first floor wing was added to the western side of the hotel. In 1955, the veranda and balcony was removed and replaced with a suspended awning. In 1923 the Swan Brewery purchased the hotel from William Padbury, retaining ownership of it until 1977. In April 1984, the Freemasons' Hotel was sold to Brewtech Ltd who undertook a major restoration and upgrading of the hotel, converting it into Australia's first boutique pub brewery, and renaming it the Sail and Anchor in 1986. The renovations included the restoration of the veranda and balcony. In 1990 Elders IXL purchased the Matilda Bay Brewing Company (formerly Brewtech Ltd), in a deal that valued Matilda Bay at more than A$50 million, selling the hotel to the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH), a subsidiary of the Woolworths conglomerate, who subsequently closed the micro-brewery operations at the hotel for a short time after 2010, however the micro-brewing has since resumed.

Smith Island (South Australia)

Smith Island is an island located in Spencer Gulf off the east coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia approximately 32 km (20 mi) south-east of Port Lincoln. It was named by Matthew Flinders in memory of William Smith who was one of the eight crew lost from a cutter that capsized sometime after being launched from HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802. Since 2004, the island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area. Description Smith Island is approximately 32 km (20 mi) south-east of Port Lincoln, 2.8 km (1.7 mi) south of Lewis Island and 1.8 km (1.1 mi) east of Cape Catastrophe. The island has an area of 4 ha (9.9 acres) and a maximum height of 22 m (72 ft) above sea level. Access to the island is limited by the absence of a coastline sheltered from swells and tidal streams. Formation, geology and oceanography Smith Island was formed about 9100 years ago when sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene. The island consists of a granite outcrop rising from the seabed to a flat-topped capping of calcarenite which is covered by ‘an unusually thick blanket of soil, thinning only to outcropping calcrete’ at the perimeter of the capping. Below the water's surface, the island rises from a depth of 30 m (98 ft) within only 180 m (590 ft) of its west, south and east shorelines. Flora and fauna Flora As of 1996, a total of 23 species have been identified. Most of this diversity is confined to the thinner soils at the perimeter of the calcarenite capping. The deeper soil was occupied by marsh saltbush with the deepest soils supporting grey saltbush. Fauna Australian sea lions were plentiful on Smith Island in 1936. Short-tailed shearwaters and white-faced storm petrels nest in burrows excavated within the soil on the island's calcarenite cap. In 1996, the presence of a breeding colony of flesh-footed shearwaters. was discovered on the island. As of 2013, the island is reported as having 150 breeding pairs of flesh-footed shearwaters. History The island was one of several first sighted by Europeans on Saturday, 20 February 1802, from HMS Investigator whilst under the command of Matthew Flinders entered what is now Spencer Gulf. Flinders named the island on Wednesday, 24 February 1802, in memory of William Smith who lost his life, presumably drowned, along with seven other members of the crew on Sunday 21 February 1802 when one of HMS Investigator’s cutters capsized near Cape Catastrophe. Economic activity Gauno Smith Island is one of the island sites from which guano was mined under licence from the South Australian Government prior to 1919. Protected areas status Since 30 September 2004, Smith Island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area. Previously, it had been part of the Lincoln National Park. It originally obtained protected area status as a fauna reserve under the former Fauna Conservation Act 1964 in 1965 followed by status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929-1966 on 16 March 1967. As of December 2012, the waters surrounding the island are in the Thorny Passage Marine Park. References
