Oakbank Racecourse

Oakbank Racecourse, also but less frequently known as the "Onkaparinga Racecourse", is home of the Oakbank Racing Club, a club which, until 2009, raced just twice annually, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday at the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival, and has done continually since 1876, except during World War II when it was held at Victoria Park and Morphettville Racecourse due to the army taking over the facility. Located in South Australia's Adelaide Hills, it is the home of steeplechasing and jumping in SA, which combines with flat racing over the festival, including the famous Great Eastern Steeplechase and classic Harry D. Young Hurdle. Brooklyn Park Jockey Jack McGowan was a regular and prominent identity in the late 1800s and early 1900s on horses such as Strike and All Fours. Jack won the Harry D Young Hurdle on Jack Spratt and also run close seconds in the Great Eastern Steeplechase and Oakbank Hurdle on Edirol and Culleraine. In 2019 Oakbank Easter Saturday was still South Australia's most attended race day in the SA racing calendar hosted by Oakbank racing club. Oakbank Week is held each year on the Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday prior to Easter Sunday, except in 2020 when it was cancelled due to COVID-19. Easter Saturday at Oakbank now attracts crowds of over 20,000, when the feature Great Eastern Steeplechase is run. The racing carnival used to attract massive crowds, with about 40,000 attending the Saturday meeting and up around 70,000 attending on Easter Monday. From 2009 the inaugural Oakbank Prelude Raceday has taken place two weeks before Easter, marking the first time that a separate meeting to the Easter Carnival has taken place at Oakbank. The famous Von Doussa Steeplechase is run on this program. Jumps-racing controversy The Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival has received backlash from the RSPCA Australia, Animals Australia, and The Humane Society International Australia for the number of deaths associated with jumps-racing. There have been 7 reported horse deaths during jumps-races at Oakbank since 2010, including 2 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 2 in 2012, 1 in 2014 and 1 in 2017. In Australia in 2021, Victoria and South Australia are the only states where jumps-racing is conducted. On October 1, 2021, it was announced that jumps racing will no longer be conducted in South Australia mainly due to the small number of South Australian jumps horses. There were plans to run the Great Eastern and Von Doussa Steeplechase as a flat race. However on 3rd March 2022 it was announced that would not happen. However, many jumps racing supporters attempted to keep jumps racing at Oakbank and that fight went into the South Australian Court System. That would result in an election occurring which the anti-jumps faction won but debate surrounding that vote spilled into more legal action. But not long after the South Australian Government stepped in and outlawed jumps racing in the state. References External links Oakbank Racing Club

Oakleigh Recreation Centre

The Oakleigh Recreation Centre is an aquatic and leisure facility in Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia. The centre has a stadium with four multipurpose courts, a health club, a crossfit box, massage services, a cafe and a state-of-the-art outdoor pool. The pool area contains five pools, an outdoor 50m lap pool, a dive pool with seven diving boards, a multi-purpose pool and a toddler pool and splash pad, which is an aquatic playground. History The original pools at Oakleigh Recreation Centre were constructed in the 1950s around a landscape of lawns and trees. Since then, the pool had grown to include a four-court indoor sports stadium, café and crèche. In 2007, the City of Monash assumed direct responsibility for the centre, including staff, programs and services. The pool was starting to look outdated so, in December 2008, the council embarked on an AU$10m redevelopment to fix the aquatic areas of the pool. This project delivered seasonal aquatic facilities back to the community and worked with the existing programs and services. The council decided to retain one of Melbourne's last outdoor diving boards. It has also introduced DE filtration, one of only a select group of pools in Victoria to do so. This method of filtration, along with the salt water pool makes for crystal clear water. References External links City of Monash Oakleigh Recreation Centre

Oatley Pleasure Grounds is a bush park located in Oatley, New South Wales and it is located on Oatley Bay. The park is 3.4 hectares (8.4 acres) an sits within the Georges River Council. History The pleasure grounds were started as a private park which was created by Harry Linmark from around 1896 when he constructed a boatshed there, known as Oatley Bay Boatshed, and offered houses for sale there. By 1906 Limark was selling alcohol there and, over the following years, it also hosted tea rooms, a bar, a swimming club and hosted various events including bands, Chinese New Year celebrations and picnics hosted by the Salvation Army were held in the park. A zoo was constructed in the park which held animals, such as kangaroos, monkeys, snakes and emus. The pleasure grounds also hosted various boating clubs including the Oatley Bay Motor Boat Club (from 1927) and the Oatley Bay Rowing Club. Major changed were seen after the death of Linmark in 1931 and in 1935 the land was sold to Council and, following their acquisition, the houses and other buildings where removed in the 1940s.

Obelisk Beach

Obelisk Beach (part of Obelisk Bay) is a nude beach in Mosman, New South Wales, Australia. The beach is on the southern side of Middle Head in Sydney Harbour and is part of Sydney Harbour National Park. History Prior to European settlement in 1788, the area was inhabited by Indigenous Australians speaking the Guringai language. Aboriginal sites are found in the bushland all around Georges Head. The arrival of smallpox with European colonists meant that by 1795, the Aboriginal population on the northern side of Sydney Harbour had declined by as much as 90%. In 1815, Governor Lachlan Macquarie dubbed Bungaree "Chief of the Broken Bay Tribe" and presented him with 15 acres (61,000 m2) of land on Georges Head. He was also known by the titles "King of Port Jackson" and "King of the Blacks". Bungaree spent the rest of his life ceremonially welcoming visitors to Australia, educating people about Aboriginal culture (especially boomerang throwing), and soliciting tribute, especially from ships visiting Sydney. Bungaree and his family kept a fishing boat on the beach. In the early 20th century, the beach was painted by artists such as Herbert Reginald Gallop, as well as being a popular site for picnics. The beach is attended predominantly by homosexual men, and is considered a 'gay-friendly' beach by some and prior to 2004 it was the site of a gay beat.

Officer railway station

Officer station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Pakenham line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Officer, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Officer station is a ground-level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 4 August 1881, with the current station provided in 1956. Initially opened as Officer's Siding, the station was given its current name of Officer on 13 February 1888. History Officer station opened on 4 August 1881, almost four years after the railway line was extended from Dandenong to Pakenham. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Robert Officer, a local pastoralist. Another theory is that the station and suburb were named after the Officer family, who were originally from Deniliquin, New South Wales. In 1955, the line between Officer and Pakenham was duplicated and, on 13 May 1956, duplication between Officer and Berwick was provided. In that year, a new station was also provided east of the original site. In 1976, flashing light signals were provided at the former Station Street level crossing, which was located nearby in the up direction of the station. A decade later, in 1986, boom barriers were provided. On 8 May 1987, a collision involving a Flinders Street-bound Comeng train set and V/Line locomotive N457, operating an up Traralgon service, occurred in the down direction of the station. 45 people were injured in the collision. Comeng carriage 388M was later scrapped due to the collision, however, part of the carriage was later used as a café in the pedestrian underpass at Werribee. In 1988, the former goods siding was taken out of service. The main line points leading into the siding were spiked, and were removed at a later date. Sometime during or after 1995, the present station shelters were provided, replacing timber station buildings. During the 2011/2012 financial year, it was the second least used station on Melbourne's metropolitan system, with 55,000 passenger movements. On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Station Street level crossing will be closed to vehicle traffic by 2025, and was replaced with the pedestrian gates located further up next to the station. On 18 May 2024, Station Street level crossing and equipment was removed and the road was permanently closed. It was replaced by the existing pedestrian crossing gates located further up next to Officer station. Platforms and services Officer has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham line services. References External links Melway map at street-directory.com.au
Old Court House

Het Old Court House is het oudste overheidsgebouw in de City of Perth. Het gebouw werd in 1836 door Henry Willey Reveley ontworpen. Het staat tussen de 'Stirling Gardens' en de 'Supreme Court Gardens' in, naast het in 1899 gebouwde hooggerechtshof ('Supreme Court'). In het 'Old Court House' huist een museum over de geschiedenis van het recht in West-Australië. Ontwerp en bouw In 1836 gaf gouverneur James Stirling de opdracht een gerechtsgebouw in Perth te bouwen. Henry Willey Reveley, burgerlijk ingenieur van de kolonie aan de rivier de Swan van 1829 tot 1838, ontwierp het en plande de bouw ervan in februari 1836. Reveley was ook verantwoordelijk voor de bouw van het Round House in Fremantle, de 'Commissariat Store', de 'Government Offices', de eerste 'Soldiers' Barracks' en het eerste 'Government House' in Perth. Reveley overzag de bouw van het gerechtsgebouw. Het stond dicht tegen de oorspronkelijke waterlijn van de rivier de Swan. Het gebouw werd in Georgiaanse stijl met vooral Griekse invloeden ontworpen. De muren bestaan uit ruwe natuursteen en stucwerk. Er bovenop ligt een schilddak met leisteen. De portiek wordt door Dorische zuilen ondersteund. In december 1836 werd het gebouw voltooid. Gebruik Het 'Old Court House' opende op Goede Vrijdag 24 maart 1837. Het had een tweeledige functie en diende als rechtbank en als kerk. Het werd ook af en toe als schooltje gebruikt. In 1845 opende de 'Trinity Church' in Perth en het 'Old Court House' verloor haar functie als kerk. Vanaf september 1847 werd het gebouw door de 'Government Boys School' als klaslokaal gebruikt. Het jaar erop wenste John Burdett Wittenoom in het gebouw les te geven. Tussen 1856 en 1863 werd het ook gebruikt om in noodgeval immigranten op te vangen. Na renovaties vestigde het hooggerechtshof zich in 1863 in het 'Old Court House'. Het hof verhuisde in 1879 echter naar de nabijgelegen voormalige 'Commissariat Store'. Van 1905 tot 1965 zetelde het Arbitragehof in het 'Old Court House'. In 1966 werd het gebouw nogmaals gerenoveerd waarna de 'Law Society of Western Australia' er gebruik mocht van maken. Het vestigde er in 1974 een museum in. In 1985 verhuisde de 'Law Society of Western Australia'. Het gebouw werd zoals het Arbitragehof uit 1905 heringericht. In 1987 werd het 'Francis Burt Legal Education Centre' er gevestigd en heropende het museum. Erfgoed In februari 1978 werd het 'Old Court House' door de National Trust geclassificeerd. De 'Australian Heritage Commission' nam het gebouw in oktober 1980 in het 'Register of the National Estate' op. Op 14 februari 2003 werd het 'Old Court House' in het permanente 'State Register of Heritage Places' opgenomen.
Old Kerosene Store

The Old Kerosene Store is located at Bathers Beach in Fremantle, Western Australia, adjacent to the ruins of the original Fremantle Long Jetty. It is a single-storey limestone building and forms part of the historic Arthur Head Reserve precinct. History The building was constructed in 1884 by Harwood & Son as a dangerous-goods store, for the storage of kerosene. At the time, kerosene was used extensively for street lighting and heating. It is a single-storey limestone building with a hipped iron roof. In 1919 it was used by the state government's Harbour and Light Department as a warehouse and later as a shipwright's shed. In 1972, the building was saved from demolition and restored as a space for the creative arts. In 1975 it was used by local artist and potter Joan Campbell as a pottery studio and gallery until her death in 1997. The site and building were vested in the City of Fremantle in 1982 and restored as part of the Commonwealth-funded Arthur Head Bicentennial Project in 1986–87. Heritage value The Old Kerosene Store is classified by the National Trust of Australia (WA) with the following statement of significance: A good example of an early colonial building and one of the few remaining buildings of its type in WA. Along with the Round House and the Government Stores, the buildings form an interesting group. The building was given an interim listing on the State Register of Heritage Places by the Heritage Council of Western Australia on 20 November 1992. It is also listed on the City of Fremantle's Municipal Heritage List. Current use In 1998 it was leased by the artist Joanna Robertson, founder of the Kidogo Art Institute, who established a popular, multidisciplinary independent art centre there. In 1998 the building was renamed the Kidogo Arthouse. Kidogo is Swahili for 'small'. In 2010 the City of Fremantle received a Lotterywest grant to undertake conservation and interpretation works at the Old Port precinct, including the former Kerosene Store, prior to the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships. During the event, as a result of temporary relaxations to the liquor licensing laws, the Kidogo Arthouse housed a small bar, the Kelp Bar. Kelp Bar Since the success of the Kelp Bar during the ISAF Championships the operator of Kidogo Joanna Robertson has been endeavouring to have the bar operating as a permanent fixture of the gallery. One of the major issues in obtaining a license for the premises has been the inclusion of ablution facilities, as of November 2013 the City of Fremantle still declined permission to apply for the installation of toilets facilities within the heritage building, on 13 December 2013 the City of Fremantle granted permission for an occasional liquor license without the requirement for permanent toilets. Kelp Bar re-opened on 20 December 2013 and operated on weekends through to January 2014. References Further reading
Old Mill, Perth

The Old Mill (Shenton's Mill) is a restored tower mill located on Mill Point in South Perth, Western Australia. Today, restored to its original 1830s condition, it is one of Perth's best known historic landmarks and serves as a sightseeing attraction. History The windmill was commissioned by William Kernot Shenton, on a foundation stone laid by Governor James Stirling in 1835. The original mill, the colony's first wind-powered industry, was built by Paul and James Lockyer and operated by William Steele. Peak production was 680 kilograms (1,500 lb) of flour per day. Operation ceased in 1859, due to unprofitability and the unsuitable location. The 4.1-tonne (9,000-pound) cogwheels were hewn from a nearby tree known as tuart, the highly valued species Eucalyptus gomphocephala. The site was located near the earliest housing and agriculture of the colony, and was used for industry before being adapted to commercial, then residential, purposes. In 1880, an engineer known as "Satan" Browne established a dance hall and hotel known as Alta Gardens. The alterations by Browne remained, although the venture was a failure, and it found use as a chicken run and house instead. The address of the site is now listed as Mill Point Road, South Perth. In 1957, the proposed route of the Narrows Bridge was deviated to preserve the site, after a campaign by public officials, and a folk museum was established on the grounds. The site was received by the City of South Perth, repaired and upgraded and was placed on the register of the National Trust in 1992. The buildings and site is noted as having permanent entry on heritage registers for its architectural and historical significance, and conservation "for their own sake, and as a museum, is important".

Старая пожарная часть (Перт)

Старая пожарная часть в городе Перт, Австралийский Союз, построена в 1900 году и стала первым специальным зданием пожарной охраны в штате Западная Австралия. Старая пожарная часть, названная первоначально «Пожарная станция № 1», находится по адресу Мюррей стрит, дом 35. Первоначально подразделение пожарной охраны располагалось в ратуше Перта. В 1899 году пожарный совет города предложил построить для пожарной части отдельное здание, для чего был приобретён участок земли неподалёку от ратуши. Проектирование пожарной части с пожарным депо было поручено архитектору Майклу Каване при условии, что стоимость постройки не превысит четыре тысячи долларов. Здание было спроектировано Майклом Каваной, построившим впоследствии ещё множество интересных зданий в Западной Австралии, в неороманском стиле. Это двухэтажный особняк, отделанный рустованной известняковой плиткой и покрытый керамической черепицей; фасад его отличается разнообразием деталей — арок, башенок, галерей с небольшими колоннадами. В декабре 1900 года строительство было закончено, и в первый день нового века пожарные Перта отпраздновали новоселье. В 1914 году архитектором Джеймсом Лермонтом была сделана пристройка к пожарной части, с актовым залом, кабинетами и медицинской частью. Восемьдесят лет здание использовалось по своему прямому назначению, лишь в 1979 году пожарные переехали в современные помещения. В 1983—1985 годах Старая пожарная часть была реконструирована, ныне в здании располагаются образовательный центр пожарной безопасности и музей истории пожарного дела. В музее демонстрируются образцы старого пожарного оборудования, в том числе несколько пожарных машин; собран архив документов и фотографий, отдельная экспозиция посвящена опасных природным явлениям и стихийным бедствиям в истории Западной Австралии. Ежегодно с ценностями музея знакомится более 14 тысяч посетителей. В 1989 году Старая пожарная часть в Перте была внесена в список культурного наследия Западной Австралии.
