Murrissippi Motors

Murrissippi Motors (a.k.a. Model T Lane, Model T Vintage Cars or simply Vintage Cars) is a vintage car ride at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The ride, which opened with Dreamworld in 1981, allows guests to drive around in replicas of 1911 Model T Fords. The ride received a refurbishment and relocation under the new name Murrissippi Motors in 2024. History On 15 December 1981, Dreamworld officially opened to the public with Avis Vintage Cars as one of the original attractions. John Longhurst had purchased fourteen replicas of Model T Fords at a price of $12,000 each, to create the ride. The Avis Vintage Cars were originally part of Rivertown until early 2007 when they were relocated to their second location in Dreamworld Corroboree. On 24 November 2022, Dreamworld announced that the Rivertown-themed area would be re-introduced and that the Vintage Car Adventure ride would be relocated back to Rivertown and renamed as the Murrissippi Motors with a new design to suit a lush jungle theme. The relocated and refurbished ride opened on 23 December. Ride The ride consists of 4 people boarding one of fourteen replicas of 1911 Ford Model T cars. The acceleration of the car is controlled by a driver in the front while the steering is controlled by a single, steel guide rail on the cement roadway below. The steering wheel has no effect on the direction of the vehicle. In the early 2000s roofs were added to the fleet of vintage cars. Layouts 1981–1997 The original layout was a simple figure 8. The track began with a right hand turn out of the station before going underneath a bridge. It then turned left and travelled alongside the Murrissippi River before crossing back over that bridge and returning to the station. This layout was utilised from 1981 until 1997. 1997–2007 In 1997, the original layout was extended to feature a loop around the base of the newly added Dreamworld Tower (which houses The Giant Drop and Tower of Terror II). Similar to the original layout, the track began with a right hand turn out of the station before crossing under the track of the Tower of Terror twice and then going underneath a bridge. It then turned left and travelled alongside the Murrissippi River before running parallel to the Dreamworld Railway tracks and circling the base of the Dreamworld Tower. It then returned over that bridge and into the station. Despite the addition to the circuit, the original track remained intact and allowed both routes to operate through the use of a switch track. This extended layout was primarily utilised from 1997 until 2007, however, the original circuit was utilised for a short period of time during one Xtremeworld event. 2007–2023 In 2007, in preparation of the construction of Mick Doohan's Motocoaster, the Avis Vintage Cars were relocated to Dreamworld Corroboree. The new location saw a new 360-metre (1,180 ft) circuit through a treed area across the far side of Oakey Creek. The circuit has been in operation since mid-2007. 2024-present References External links Avis Vintage Cars at Dreamworld
Ayers House (Adelaide)

Ayers House je historický zámek ve městě Adelaide v Jižní Austrálii. Nachází se v oblasti Severní Terasy a je pojmenován po siru Henrym Ayersovi, který byl pětkrát premiérem Jižní Austrálie a bohatým průmyslníkem, jenž tu žil od roku 1855 až do své smrti roku 1897. Plány pro historický dvoupodlažní zámek byly navrženy v roce 1846 pro Williama Paxtona, adelaidského chemika. V roce 1855 budovu koupil sir Henry a v průběhu několika let ji přeměnil na zámek. Dům je postaven z místní modré břidlice v lehce anglickém stylu. Navržen byl Georgem Strickland Kingstonem a byl jeden z prvních domů v Adelaide, který byl vybaven plynovým osvětlením. Během doby, kdy byl sir Henry Ayers premiérem, byl dům využíván pro jednání vlády a politické večeře. Prostory zámku mají ručně malované stropy a do dřeva vyražené pamětihodnosti z rodiny Ayersů, které mají demonstrovat bohatství v době, kdy byl dům postaven. Sir Henry Ayers také přikázal stavbu suterénu, aby mohl uniknout před horkým létem v Adelaide. Vzhledem k zaměstnání sira Henryho Ayerse ve vládě bylo sídlo i po jeho smrti státem využíváno pro mnoho funkcí, například jako taneční sál, klub pro zraněné vojáky (1918–1922) i jako kavárna (1914–1932). Státní vláda koupila nemovitost v roce 1926 a přestavěla ji na koleje pro sestry studující na státním vzdělávacím zařízení pro zdravotní sestry, které leží naproti nemocnice Royal Adelaide. V roce 1946 byly přistavěny další koleje, které byly zrušeny v roce 1973. Ayersův dům přestal sloužit jako koleje pro sestry v roce 1969. Ayersův dům je v současné době ve vlastnictví organizace National Trust (národní bohatství) Jižní Austrálie. Posledních 30 let je využíván jako podnikové centrum, restaurace a muzeum. K vidění jsou kostýmy, příbory, umělecká díla, nábytek, stejně jako 300kg lustr a další. Nabízí také místo pro společenské rauty. National Trust v roce 1970 vyboural ložnice a koupelny, aby se vytvořil prostor pro vybavení kuchyně a ze stájí se tak mohla stát restaurace.

Bacchus Marsh College

Bacchus Marsh College is a secondary school in the town of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia. It was opened in 1912 as Bacchus Marsh High School, and then later became Bacchus Marsh Secondary College. The college started with 38 students. Darley campus The second campus began construction on 30 August 1991 (according to the foundation stone within the campus). The college opened in December 1991, housing students in Years 7, 8 and 9. The college is situated at the far end of Hallett's Way, at the bottom of Bald Hill. There are approximately 434 students at the Darley campus. Years 7 and 8 have set courses, whereas Year 9 gives students the opportunity to choose some of their own subjects. The Darley Campus merged with the Maddingley campus in 2009. Portable learning facilities are installed on the Maddingley campus to house years 7, 8 and 9. Darley campus closed at the end of 2008 and Bacchus Marsh College now operates at one site at Maddingley. Maddingley campus The Maddingley campus was opened in 1921. Until 1991, when the Darley campus was built, this was the only government High School in Bacchus Marsh. However, after the Darley campus' closure, it resumed being the only government High School in Bacchus Marsh. The campus shares the use of the Bacchus Marsh Leisure Centre with the school, and was formerly managed by the YMCA. Sport houses The school has four houses, Manning (red), Main (green), Smith (blue) and Symington (yellow). They were established in 1951, and named after ex-students who were killed during World War II – Charles Manning, Kenneth Main, Campbell "Cam" Smith and brothers Henry "Ebb" and William "Bill" Symington. RACV Energy Breakthrough Since 2005, Bacchus Marsh College has competed in the annual RACV Energy Breakthrough event (often abbreviated as EBT), which has led to the establishment of the BMC Racing Team, and a special uniform for all members of said team. Production Despite being claimed as "a highlight of the school year", the College production has become underfunded and understaffed, leaving the students to handle most of it themselves; teachers going so far as to prohibit primary schools from coming to watch, despite what the website would have you believe. The era of grand, immersive storytelling which consistently captivated sold-out audiences night after night has, regrettably, become a relic of the past.

Balaclava railway station, Melbourne

Balaclava station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Sandringham line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Balaclava, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Balaclava station is a ground level premium station, featuring two side platforms, with a customer service desk on platform 1. It opened on 19 December 1859, with the current station provided in 2014. Balaclava is an elevated station, and is located above the Carlisle Street rail overpass. History Balaclava station opened on 19 December 1859, when the railway line from Windsor was extended to North Brighton. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the Battle of Balaclava, which occurred during the Crimean War in 1854. On 3 December 1977, the station was damaged by fire. In 1981, the station buildings were rebuilt. In 1996, two men found $200,000 in a drum buried beneath one of the platforms. They handed the money in to the police and the find was reported in the media. In the same week, another man found a second drum under the platform, containing a similar quantity of money, which he also turned in to the police. Because no one claimed it, the men were granted ownership of the money they found, despite being considered trespassers on land owned by the then Public Transport Corporation. In June 2012, a $13.3 million upgrade to the station was announced. It involved widening the platforms, improving stair and ramp access, signage, booking office facilities, waiting rooms, wheelchair shelters and toilets, and the provision of new station canopies to increase weather protection. CCTV cameras were added, as well as provision for future lifts. In October 2014, construction works were completed, with Balaclava upgraded to a premium station. Following a 2019 commitment by the Federal Government, the station was due to receive an upgraded commuter car-park. However, this was scrapped by the same government in 2021. Platforms and services Balaclava has two side platforms. It is served by Sandringham line trains. Current From Mid-2026 Transport links Yarra Trams operates two routes via Balaclava station: : Melbourne University – East Malvern : Melbourne University – Kew References External links Media related to Balaclava railway station, Melbourne at Wikimedia Commons Melway map at street-directory.com.au

Ballarat Base Hospital

The Ballarat Base Hospital is a hospital located in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It is a public hospital operated by Ballarat Health Services. Ballarat Health Services employs approximately 4000 staff at the Base Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Centre 1 km to the south-west, and 13 off-site facilities in the surrounding area. History During the gold rush of the 1850s, the Government Camp provided medical support mainly for officers and not for miners and the general community. However, the wounded individuals at the Eureka Stockade in 1854 received varying levels of attention, which highlighted the need for a dedicated hospital. As a result, the construction of a hospital began a year later. In 1994, the five-story Henry Bolte wing, designed by architects Bates Smart, was completed. Three years later, in 1997, the Ballarat Base Hospital merged with the Queen Elizabeth Centre and the Grampians Psychiatric Service to form Ballarat Health Services.
