Ginahgulla

Ginahgulla, also known as Fairfax House, is a historic house in the Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill, New South Wales, Australia. Completed in 1858 in the Victorian Free Gothic style, Ginahgulla and its gardens are listed on the (now defunct) Australian Register of the National Estate and the Municipality of Woollahra local government heritage list. History This two-storey Gothic house is situated on the south side of Ginahgulla Road. It was built in 1858 by John Fairfax, of the Fairfax family of newspaper proprietors. It may have been designed by Edmund Blacket, who was otherwise distinguished as an ecclesiastical architect, responsible for many churches in the Sydney area. The Fairfax family used the house until 1945, when it was bought by the nearby independent school, The Scots College. The College uses the house as a boarding house and is sometimes known as "the house on the hill." References
St Kilda Pier

The St Kilda Pier in St Kilda, Victoria, Australia, is home to a colony of Australian little penguins, the St Kilda Pavilion, as well as the Marina of the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron. It was first built in 1853 as a small private timber jetty by the St Kilda Pier and Jetty company, but destroyed the same year, and rebuilt by 1855 as a public pier. It was extended many times, until it became a 1944 ft pier with stone groins, a shelter at the beach end, a breakwater and an L-shaped extension sheltering the St Kilda Yacht Club by the 1880s. Moorings for the Port Phillip Bay excursion steamers were added in 1893, and the Pavilion was added in 1904. The pier became a favourite destination for promenading, fishing, excursions and small boat moorings for much of the 20th century, as St Kilda became Melbourne's entertainment district and most popular beach. The breakwater had been built in timber, and in 1955 was replaced with a rubble stone one. In the 1970s, the timber pier was replaced with a concrete one, and the breakwater extended. Australian little penguins breeding amongst the rocks of the breakwater were first documented in 1974, with 100 altogether identified by 1989. They now number about 1200, and public viewing is a popular attraction. In 2017, with the pier nearing the end of its design life, Parks Victoria, the owner of bayside infrastructure in Victoria, announced a plan to replace the current one, with two options designed by architects Jackson Clements Burroughs. The option of a new alignment angled to the south, with a curved end following the breakwater, was chosen. Construction commenced in 2022, and the new pier was officially opened on 7 November 2024. The pier remains a favourite destination for visitors to the St Kilda foreshore, with a walk to the end and back a popular activity. References
St Mark's Church, Darling Point

St Mark's Church is an active Anglican church in Darling Point, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is part of a significant local heritage group that includes the church, rectory, and adjacent cottage. The group forms part of a large collection of important to late 19th century buildings of considerable townscape, historic and cultural significance, including the former St Mark's Crescent School, St Mark's Cottage and Bishopscourt, formerly Greenoaks. History Constructed between 1848 and 1880, St Mark's Church was designed by Colonial Architect to New South Wales, Edmund Blacket, in an early Victorian Rustic Gothic Revival style with nave, chancel, vestries, organ chamber, tower and spire; made of Sydney sandstone with hardwood timber shingled roofs. The church was completed in 1854 with the spire, a gift from William Laidley, added later. In 1861 the church was extended to the west to include the porch and gallery. Prior to completion of this building, accommodation for worshippers in this section of the parish of Alexandria was provided by Thomas Ware Smart of Mona, who converted one of his cottages in Mona Lane in the Chapel of St Mark. In 1863 Wolliam Bradley of Lindesay built at his expense, the present vestries. St Mark's Church is one of the best known Anglican parish churches in Australia and has become a popular wedding venue hosting such famous weddings as Elton John's first marriage and the fictional wedding in the film Muriel's Wedding. Social photographer Sam Hood captured many socialite weddings during the 1930s. Leadership Established under the patronage of Bishop William Grant Broughton, the inaugural incumbent at St Marks' was the Reverend George Fairfowl Macarthur, who also served as the proprietor of St Mark's School which he conducted first at the rectory, then at Macquarie Fields and later at The Kings School, Parramatta. The current rector, since 2013, is the Reverend Michael Jensen, a son of a former Archbishop of Sydney, the Most Reverend Peter Jensen.

Gippsland Grammar School

Gippsland Grammar School is a private Anglican co-educational boarding and day school. Located in Gippsland, Victoria. The School has three campuses, two in Sale, and one in Bairnsdale Gippsland Grammar's motto is Veritas Liberabit Vos, Latin for "the truth will set you free". The school maintains international partnerships with Gahini Secondary School in Rwanda and Hikarigaoka Girls' High School in Japan. Controversy The school has faced mounting legal claims by students in respect of historic child sex abuse allegations, with one student being awarded $1.1 million in compensation in 2022. This led to criticism by victims of the large disparity in payouts, with many other victims having received far less. One plaintiff lawyer representing claimants observed that the school's aggressive approach to defending such claims had backfired and resulted in more claimants coming forward. Two staff members were also sentenced to terms of imprisonment for more recent offending. Former English teacher Gregory Gorton was sentenced to 2 1/2 years' imprisonment in 2014 for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student in 2013. In 2020, a South African gap year tutor was sentenced to 20 months' imprisonment after being found guilty two counts of sexual penetration of a child aged under 16 and one count of encouraging a child to engage in sex for incidents that occurred in 2019. Declining enrolments and the financial pressure created by the abuse claim liabilities have caused the school to suffer a cash flow crisis. According to the school's 2023 financial reports, the school was only seven enrolments away from its lender, National Australia Bank, calling in a multi-million dollar loan. The sudden resignation of principal Michelle Wakeham in February 2025 was reportedly prompted by the overwhelming pressure caused by the historic sexual abuse allegations and the school's financial challenges.

A joint senior school office and year 12 study centre building opened in 2017. Controversies Deepfake incident In February 2025, Gladstone Park Secondary College was involved in a police investigation after students allegedly created and distributed sexually explicit images of female classmates using artificial intelligence (“deepfake”) technology. The images were reportedly generated from existing photographs and shared via social media and messaging platforms without the consent of those depicted. Victoria Police launched an investigation, with the matter referred to specialist units dealing with child exploitation and cybercrime. The school suspended students in connection with the incident and provided wellbeing support to those affected. The case received widespread media coverage and contributed to broader discussion in Australia regarding the misuse of artificial intelligence, online safety, and image-based abuse laws. Antisemitism incident In July 2025, the school faced criticism following reports of antisemitic behaviour by students, including offensive gestures and comments directed at members of the Jewish community. The principal issued an apology and stated that the school would take disciplinary action and reinforce education around respectful behaviour and inclusion.

Gladstone Power Station

The NRG Gladstone Power Station is a power station at Callemondah, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. It is Queensland's largest power station, with six coal powered steam turbines generating a maximum of 1,680 MW of electricity. Power from the station was first generated in 1976. This fossil fuel power plant draws seawater for cooling. Black coal is brought by rail from the Rolleston coal mine, 200 kilometres (120 mi) west of Rockhampton. History Preliminary investigations into a new power station in Central Queensland began in 1968. The demand from expanding industry and the proximity to low cost coal were the major reasons for locating a large power station in the Gladstone area. The Gladstone Power Station was designed and constructed by the State Electricity Commission of Queensland. A 275 kV transmission line connecting the power station to South East Queensland was to be built as well. It initially consisted of four generating sets generating 275 MW each and was to cost A$198 million. The Federal Government recognised the national importance of the power station, agreeing to contribute up to $80 million. A September 1975 report recommended the addition of two more generating units at Gladstone. This was approved by the Queensland Government in 1976. Contracts costing $81 million were placed for this expansion. The plant was privatised in 1994. It is currently owned by a group, including the British-Australian Rio Tinto Aluminium, the US company NRG Energy, which manages the plant, and some Japanese partners. The station had an unplanned outage rate of 34% in 2022 (18% since 2012), and Rio Tinto plans to move closure from 2035 to 2029, when its supply deal expires. Emissions Carbon Monitoring for Action estimates this power station emits 11.80 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year as a result of burning coal.
