Broadway Shopping Centre

Broadway Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Sydney, located in the Broadway locality. It features a 500-seat Food Court and Hoyts 12-screen cinema complex along with major retailers Kmart, Coles, Target, Aldi, H&M, JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Harris Farm Markets, Rebel Sport, and over 100 specialty shops. History The Broadway shopping centre is located in one of the two former Grace Bros buildings on Broadway which opened in 1923, the other building now housing university student accommodation. Walker Corporation undertook the restoration of the buildings to include university student accommodation and a shopping centre in 1997. The shopping centre opened in 1998 and was owned and managed by Walker Corporation until its sale to Mirvac in December 2006. In 2007, an additional floor was added to the original centre. In 2015, major upgrades to the centre commenced, costing $55 million. The upgrades, completed in August 2016, added a revamped food court, and new fashion stores. Incidents On 12 February 2008, just after 1:30 pm a fire was reported due to an electrical substation fire in the lower levels of the shopping centre. No one was injured, however emergency services rescued shoppers trapped in lifts, which had no power due to the fire. On 17 June 2012, 69 year-old centre security guard Hans Schulz (a German native) was kicked to death after disturbing two intruders - a 32-year-old man from Randwick and a woman aged 27 from Maroubra - who had broken into a Wendy's Ice Cream Kiosk on the ground floor of the building. The pair were charged with manslaughter. On 29 April 2016, hundreds of shoppers and workers had to be evacuated, after a fire broke out on level three. Transport Broadway Shopping Centre is serviced by a bus stop on Parramatta Road and City Road outside the centre It is a 15 minute walk from Central railway station, which is accessed from using Bay Street. Bicycle parking is provided at a bike rack in the Ground North Car Park (near the Francis Street entrance), or next to the zebra crossing on Bay Street. The adjacent multi-level car park, accessible by Bay Street or Small Street, has over 1665 parking spaces. Safety The Transport for NSW Pyrmont Ultimo Transport Plan included a recommendation to "provide northern footpath continuity for pedestrians at Bay Street by pedestrianising Bay Street between Broadway and Grose Street". The February 2026 Greater Sydney Infrastructure Opportunities Plan stated there was "Planning in progress" by Transport for NSW to "Improve pedestrian safety, priority and amenity at Bay Street and Broadway", however in April 2026 Transport for NSW stated they have no plans to "upgrade the intersection of Broadway and Bay Street".

Brooks High School is a government co-educational comprehensive junior secondary school located in Rocherlea, a northern suburb of Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Established in 1948, the school caters for approximately 500 students from Years 7 to 10. The school is administered by the Tasmanian Department of Education. In 2019 student enrolments were 436. The school principal is Louise Fisher. The school services the Launceston northern suburbs of Invermay, Mayfield, Mowbray, Newnham, Ravenswood and Rocherlea. History Brooks High School opened in 1948. The school originally centred on a large blue gum tree, where it held assemblies. In 1990, the University of Tasmania incorporated these grounds and the school moved to its present site in Rocherlea. The present site resembles the original grounds; both feature large open spaces and separate buildings. In 1995, the school established the No Dole Program. The program's success led other Australian high schools to found similar programs. Speakers at the Program have included former prime minister John Howard, former education minister Brendan Nelson, former Labor Party Leader Kim Beazley, Hawthorn footballer Dermott Brereton, late motor racing driver Peter Brock, and former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting. Ponting also attended the school.

Broome Senior High School

Broome Senior High School is a comprehensive public co-educational high day school, located in Broome, a regional centre in the Kimberley region, 2,240 kilometres (1,392 mi) north east of Perth, Western Australia. Overview The school was established in 1972 and by 2015 had an enrolment of 900 students between Year 7 and Year 12, approximately 40% of whom were Indigenous Australians. The school was initially founded as a district high school in 1972, but in 1990 the senior high school and the primary school separated forming Broome Senior high School. In 2008 the school was hit by fire causing over $50,000 in damage, including destroying a transportable classroom. Enrolments at the school have increased as the Western Australia School system increased the number of high school years from 5 to 6. Much of growth is from these changes as well as the slow steady growth of Broome as a tourist and economic hub in the West Kimberley. 448 students in 2007, 502 in 2008, 527 in 2009, 511 in 2010, 492 in 2011 and 560 in 2012 The school has had R Dorn, G Ransom, G Downsborough, S Amin and M Burt as Principals.

Broughton Island (New South Wales)

Broughton Island is an island 14 km north-east of Port Stephens on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the Myall Lakes National Park. History Archaeology indicates that the certain ancestors of the Worimi people inhabited the island for an otherwise apparently indeterminate period of two thousand years, and whatever name those people may have had for the island itself remains unknown. It lay within the territory of the Garrawerrigal branch (nurra) of the Woromi. "Garrawerrigal" meant "the people of the sea", from garoowa=sea. Niritba was "the home of the mutton bird" in their language. Broughton Island was seen by James Cook commanding HM Bark Endeavour on 11 May 1770: he mistook it for a headland and called it Black Head. After its insularity was discovered, it was renamed Broughton Islands, and so appears on the 1852 Admiralty chart, Australia, East Coast. Broken Bay to Sugarloaf Point, from a running survey by Capt. J. Lort Stokes, H.M.S. Acheron, 1851. Providence Bay also appears for the first time on this chart. Nearby Port Stephens was surveyed by Commander William Broughton in HMS Providence in August 1795. Stokes appears to have named the island and bay after Broughton and his ship, perhaps on the advice of his friend, Phillip Parker King, who was then residing at Tahlee in Port Stephens and had surveyed the coast in a private capacity. The island was used between 1905 and 1907 in regards to testing of biological controls on feral rabbits, by French-based Polish biologist Jean Danysz (1860–1928). National Park Broughton Island has been part of the Myall Lakes National Park since it was declared in 1972. Wedge-tailed shearwaters, known locally as "muttonbirds", nest on the island, as well as Australian little penguins, close to the northern limit of their range. In November 2009, the National Parks and Wildlife Service declared the island free from rabbits and rats. Dive sites There are a few recreational dive sites at the Broughton Islands: The Looking Glass at Looking Glass Island is a gap that runs right through the small island. Cod Rock, south of Broughton Island Bubble Cave, at the mouth of Esmeralda Cove Big Shark Gutters, at the south eastern corner of Little Broughton Island, where grey nurse sharks can be seen. Little Shark gutters, to the north of Big Shark Gutters. The Steps and Spider Cave, at the south side of the east corner of Broughton Island. References
Île Broughton

L'île Broughton est une île située 14 km au nord-est de Port Stephens, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en Australie. Elle fait partie du parc national de Myall Lakes Histoire Des travaux archéologiques ont montré que des Worimis ont vécu sur l'île pendant au moins 2 000 ans, mais on ne sait pas quel nom ils lui donnaient. Elle se situe dans le territoire de la branche « Garrawerrigal » (nurra) des Worimis. « Garrawerrigal » signifie « peuple de la mer », du mot garoowa signifiant « mer ». Niritba était la « maison de l'oiseau mouton » (c'est ainsi qu'ils désignaient les Puffins fouquets) dans leur langue. L'île de Broughton a été vue par James Cook alors qu'il commandait le HM Bark Endeavour le 11 mai 1770 : il la prend alors pour un cap, qu'il nomme Black Head. Lorsque son insularité est mise à jour, on la renomme île Broughton, et elle apparait en tant que telle dans la charte de l'amirauté en 1852. Parc national L'île de Broughton fait partie du parc national de Myall Lakes depuis la création de celui-ci en 1972. Le puffin fouquet niche sur cette île, ainsi que le manchot pygmée, dont il s'agit presque de la limite nord de l'aire de répartition. En novembre 2009, le National Parks and Wildlife Service déclare l'île indemne de lapins et de rats. Références Portail de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud Portail des îles Portail de l’océan Pacifique
Broughton Island

Broughton Island è un'isola che si trova lungo la costa del Nuovo Galles del Sud, in Australia, a nord-est della larga insenatura di Port Stephens e di Providence Bay. L'isola fa parte del Myall Lakes National Park e appartiene alla Local Government Area della Mid-Coast Council. Broughton Island ha una forma molto irregolare e frastagliata, è circondata da scogli ed è affiancata a est dalla piccola Little Broughton Island. Storia L'Isola di Broughton fu avvistata da James Cook a bordo della HMS Endeavour l'11 maggio 1770: avendola scambiata per un promontorio la chiamò Black Head. Dopo che la sua insularità fu scoperta, fu ribattezzata Broughton Islands: così appare sulla carta dell'Ammiragliato del 1852; anche Providence Bay appare per la prima volta su questa carta. L'esploratore britannico William Robert Broughton aveva esaminato la baia di Port Stephens a bordo della HMS Providence nell'agosto del 1795. Note
Острво Бротон

Острво Бротон се налази 14 км североисточно од Порт Стивенса у Новом Јужном Велсу, у Аустралији. Део је Националног парка Мјал језера. Историја Археологија доказује да су народ Ворими насељавали острво макар 2000 година, али њихово име за острво није записано. Налазило се унутар територије Гараверигал. Острво Бротон је од Европљана први открио Џејмс Кук 11. маја 1770, мислећи да је видео рт, па га је назвао Црни рт.Након што је откривено да је у питању острво, названо је Бротон, и тако се појављује на поморским мапама 1852. Провиденс залив се такође појављује на овим мапама по први пут. Између 1905. и 1907. острво је коришћено за тестирање биолошке контроле над дивљим зечевима од стране пољског биолога Жана Даниса. Национални парк Острво Бротон је део Националног парка Мјал језера од 1972. У новембру 2009, Национални парк и служба за дивље животиње су објавиле да на острву нема пацова и зечева. Референце

Broulee Island Nature Reserve

The Broulee Island Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve located on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The 43 ha (110 acres) reserve was created in 1972 and is managed by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. The reserve is situated 23 kilometres (14 mi) south of Batemans Bay and is adjacent to the village of Broulee. In the 1920s, there was a small port here from which a large amount of shellgrit was taken to Sydney, where they were made of lime and used in construction. As of July 2008 a tombolo connected Broulee Island to the mainland at Broulee Head. Broulee Island Nature Reserve is located entirely in Eurobodalla Shire and within the boundaries of the Mogo Local Aboriginal Land Council. Photo lovers here will enjoy views of the sea over the pristine stone pools, native plants, and the chance to catch a magnificent wren and a white-bellied sea eagle.

Brown-Gletscher (Heard)

Der Brown-Gletscher ist ein Gletscher auf der Insel Heard im südlichen Indischen Ozean. Er befindet sich unmittelbar südlich des Round Hill auf der Ostseite der Insel und mündet in die Brown-Lagune. Das Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) benannte den Gletscher nach dem australischen Biologen K. G. Brown, der 1951 im Rahmen der Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions auf Heard tätig war. Die Gletscher auf Heard ziehen sich zurück. Der Brown-Gletscher ist, wie andere Gletscher auf der Ostseite der Insel, von der Gletscherschmelze besonders betroffen: Seine Fläche ging 1947–2004 um ca. 29 % zurück. Die Gletscherzunge zog sich zwischen 1947 und 2019 um 1483 m zurück. Der Rückgang beschleunigte sich insbesondere mit der Bildung der Brown-Lagune bis 1988, danach verlangsamte er sich wieder.

Brunswick Town Hall

Brunswick Town Hall is located on the corner of Sydney Road and Dawson Street in the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Brunswick, Victoria, Australia. History Brunswick was declared a municipality in 1857, after residents petitioned for municipal government. The first municipal chambers were erected in 1859 on Sydney Road at Lobb's Hill, between Stewart and Albion streets. The present Town Hall began with the construction of what is now the central section in 1877, designed in Renaissance Revival style by Evander McIvor, consisting of three bays, with arched windows, rustication at the ground level, and paired pilasters above. In 1888 a competition was held for a new structure, won by architect Sydney H Wilson, with a very grand scheme with a central clocktower, similar in style and elaboration to the just completed Collingwood Town Hall. The project however did not proceed, and instead an addition to the north in matching style was built in 1908, the same year Brunswick became a City. In 1926 it was decided to finally complete the building, and include a smaller and larger hall, as well as offices for the Council. Sydney H Wilson was again the architect, along with Charles R Heath. The design incorporated the 1908 wing, with new sections to the south matching in detail, as part of an imposing building in Victorian Second Empire style, with a taller central section, mansard roofs, and a porte-cochere. The completed building, without the planned finials and cresting, opened in August 1927 with a 'brilliant spectacle'. In 1938 some remodeling took place, with an internal refresh and a new facade to the larger hall facing Dawson Street in Moderne style. During 1973 the Brunswick City Council embarked on a plan to demolish the Town Hall and build a modern five-story building to house all of council services. The Brunswick Progress Association led a successful public campaign in 1974 against council to stop the demolition of the town hall. In 1994 an addition was made to the south, in Postmodern style. That same year saw the amalgamation of the City of Brunswick with the City of Coburg and the southern portion of the City of Broadmeadows to form the City of Moreland, with the main offices located at Coburg City Hall, relegating the Brunswick Town Hall to secondary offices and other public uses. Since the 1990s, the town hall building contains the Counihan Gallery, and the Brunswick branch of the Merri-bek City Library in the former main hall. The smaller hall and the atrium are available for hire, and are a venue for the Brunswick Music Festival. Diagonally opposite from the Town Hall is the Mechanics' Institute, built in 1868, and used for education and social activities. A monument to the Free Speech fights of the 1930s stands near the corner. The building was acquired by the Brunswick City Council in 1927 and for many years served as the Brunswick Municipal Library.
