York Post Office

York Post Office, on Avon Terrace in York, Western Australia, is the oldest surviving two storey post and telegraph building in Western Australia, and forms part of the heritage-listed town centre complex with the Court House and Police Station (1895). The site has been continuously used as a post office since 1866. The York Post Office was built in response to the town's growing importance as a rural centre and as the town and railway centre closest to the goldfields in the Yilgarn during the initial period of the Western Australian gold rush. This Federation Arts and Crafts style (or Federation Free Style) building was designed by Government Architect George Temple-Poole as a post and telegraph office and residence for the post-master, and was constructed in 1893. The building is constructed of rough cut local stone and brick with a corrugated iron roof. The builders were Thorn, Bower, and Stewart. Locally quarried stones were carefully selected for each stage of the work and a horse powered block and tackle was used to raise them in a strong box to the upper level. The building replaced the first post office on the same site, a single storey Victorian Georgian style building with a shingle roof, constructed in 1866. In the mid-1890s, the people of York successfully "petitioned the government to have a town clock placed prominently in the main street", and a dormer clock was installed at the York Post Office. It is a turret timepiece manufactured by J. W. Benson, of London, in 1895 (the firm founded by James William Benson), and so inscribed. The clock at the York Post Office failed to be reliable in the late 1890s, and "a public meeting was called to complain that the clock never worked". The weather vane from Solomon Cook's 1852 mill, which was situated on the corner of Avon Terrace and Macartney Street, where the (York Home) hardware store is now situated, was installed on the roof at the York Post Office in the early 1900s (without the cockerel). The addition of the exchange room, in 1922, is the only major change to the building. The upstairs residence is now used as offices and also has an apartment for short term rental. Former office occupants include John Kinsella. The building is classified by the National Trust of Australia, is permanently on the Register of the National Estate (21 March 1978), on the Shire register (31 December 1995), and permanently on the State Register of Heritage Places (9 February 1996).

Galston High School

Galston High School is a government-funded co-educational comprehensive secondary day school, located in Galston, a suburb in the Hills District of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. History The school site was previously owned by James David Waddell. A cottage was built in 1867, now known as Waddell Cottage. Waddell lived in the cottage until 1969, by when the house and orchard were in a bad state of repair. Waddell had refused to put in running water or have the electricity connected. Because he hadn't paid his taxes, the land was resumed by the government as it was thought to be an ideal location for a high school. Galston High School officially began in 1972, although the first classes were taught at Baulkham Hills High School. In 1974, the school's buildings opened on the current site and were added to until its final completion in 1982. The first HSC class to graduate was in 1977. In the early hours of 19 May 2014, Galston High School's library caught fire. This occurred from some technical difficulties in the electric wire systems.

Garden Island (Huon River)

Garden Island is a small stony island that is part of the Partridge Island Group, lying close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia, in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel between Bruny Island and the mainland. The D'Entrecasteaux Channel is the mouth for the Huon River. Green Island in the Tamar River was also renamed as Garden Island, and other islands sometimes called "Garden Island" include Smooth Island and one of the islands within the Great Lake. The island at the mouth of the Huon River was named "Gardners Island" by the Rev R. Knopwood in 1804, and had that name in maps in 1832. At that time, a "Garden Island" or "Smooth Island" appeared on maps at the entrance of Norfolk Bay. Flora and fauna Much of the island is covered with eucalypt forest.

Gardens Oval

Gardens Oval (originally the Botanical Gardens Oval) is an Australian football oval and cricket ground complex in The Gardens, Northern Territory, Australia. The complex has two ovals; the main one has spectator facilities including covered grandstands. Gardens No.1 Oval was the home of Northern Territory Football League prior to the opening of Marrara Oval. It is currently home to the Waratah Football Club, which plays in the Northern Territory Football League competition. History Australian rules football has been played on the ground since the 1950s; the ground was being prepared as a purpose built venue for the sport as early as 1950 as a replacement for the ailing Darwin Oval. Soccer and rugby league were regularly played on the oval from 1953. The first recorded cricket match on the ground was in 2002 when Northern Territory played Queensland Academy of Sport. The ground held its only first-class match in 2006 when the touring Indians against New Zealand Whites. In 2007, the ground played host to four matches in the World Cricket League Division Three, a tournament for associate members of the International Cricket Council. The ground also held five Women's One Day Internationals between Australia Women and New Zealand Women in 2007, as well as a single Women's Twenty20 International between the same sides as part of the same series. In the early 1980s the NTFL played games against AFL teams as preseason warm up games. These games were the idea of Kevin Sheedy, the coach of Essendon AFL. These games, played on Australia Day each year, lead to many indigenous players being recruited to the AFL, such as Michael Long.

Garema Place

Garema Place is a paved outdoor area in Civic, Canberra, Australia, with a number of shops, restaurants and cafes with outdoor dining. As a central point within the CBD, many community events including protests and festivals are held at the location. Garema Place was Gazetted as a city street in October 1952, when the disused Civic Centre railway station was removed from the site. The station had opened in 1921 as Canberra's second goods rail terminal when the Commonwealth railway line was extended from Kingston, but closed in 1922 when the rail bridge over the Molonglo River was washed away in a flood. The rail corridor ran along what is now City Walk and was preserved until 1950. At that time the National Capital Planning and Development Committee abandoned plans for a Canberra City railway, noting there were disadvantages in having a railway in the centre of a city. By the mid-1960s, Garema Place had been converted to a pedestrian plaza. Today, Garema Place and nearby City Walk are the location of Canberra's Multicultural Festival held each February and the Celebrate Canberra Festival in March. In 1963, then-Prime Minister Robert Menzies opened the nearby Monaro Mall (now Canberra Centre), which became the first in Australia to be fully-enclosed and air-conditioned with three floors. Due to the expansive nature of the centre and its association with the Garema Place and nearby City Walk, the Centre has since grown to also cover the land, as if it were a district of its own. Garema Place is known for its sculptures and artworks by local artists, predominantly "The Cushion and the Wedge", a silver statue of a pillow located in the main area near the chess board. This pillow is colloquially known as the 'Goon Bag', for its resemblance to the Australian icon. The most recent addition is the "Big Swoop", which commemorates the Australian magpie and its place in Australian culture. One of the more common birds of Australia, including urban Canberra, it is celebrated for its mellifluous carolling and its remarkable memory. During the breeding season the protective male can swoop on a human, occasionally making contact. At other times they are wont to swoop on a dropped chip or other morsel. The statue, designed by local artist Yanni Pounartzis and constructed by sculptor Gustavo Balboa and scenic artist Ari Maack, was installed in March 2022 but was not sufficiently robust to withstand a vandal attack, and had to be removed. It was rebuilt by fibreglass specialist Stuart Roswell to be indistinguishable from the original, but of much sterner stuff, and returned to its original place in December 2022. Big Swoop was temporarily relocated as major works took place to improve the paving of Garema Place from November 2024 to December 2025, with further works scheduled.

Garie Beach

Garie Beach is a patrolled beach in the lower Royal National Park, on the outskirts of southern Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. The beach is one of eleven beaches located within the Royal National Park and is the southernmost beach in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan area. It is also one of three patrolled beaches in the park, with the Garie Surf Life Saving Club patrolling the beach on weekends and paid lifeguards from ALS Australian Lifeguard Services patrolling on weekdays during the summer school holidays. History There are two theories of the origins of the name. Garie is a Dharawal word meaning "sleepy". The name could also be a deviation of the name of a bushranger called Geaty, who camped here. The beach was used as a location for the 1954 film Long John Silver. Facilities Garie Beach is accessible via Garie Road, and has a carpark. It has no barbecue but has toilets, a surf safety centre, a kiosk, and a picnic area. A youth hostel was previously nearby, but burnt down in December 2010 and has not been rebuilt. Redevelopment The construction of the Garie Beach Surf Safety Centre is one component of a larger planning and construction program to improve the Garie Beach Valley for the enjoyment of beach users. Stage 1 was completed in June 2005 and included the construction of a 175-space carpark, and the restoration of the creek line and the beach foredune. Stage 2 involved designing, developing and constructing the Garie Beach Surf Safety Centre, landscaped forecourt, and picnic areas. Once completed, the centre will contain public showers and toilets, a first-aid room, a kiosk, boat and equipment storage, a radio room, and meeting rooms and office space for the Garie Surf Life Saving Club and Garie Boardriders Club. Because there is no electricity, no sewerage system, and no mains water in the Garie Valley, the centre will be solar powered, and will include a low-flush hybrid treatment system to provide flushing toilets using on-site biological treatment. Rainwater storage tanks will hold 31,600 litres of rainwater to provide showers for beach users. Surfing Garie Beach has some of the best surfing waves in Sydney and is a very popular family beach destination. The Garie Surf Life Saving Club will provide an essential community service in helping to keep the public safe at the beach. Garie is home to the Garie Boardriders Club. Garie Boardriders has an active membership of just over 100 members on average and has been continually running as a boardriders club since 1978. In 2014, the club's books listed more than 700 members and a lot of older members are returning to compete in the senior and masters divisions. Garie Boardriders is affiliated with the Surfing Illawarra, Surfing NSW and Surfing Australia. Garie's members have competed up to Australia Titles level as well as a couple who competed at APSA and more recently ACC level. The most recent surfing photographs from Garie Boardriders competitions are posted on [1] References

Geelong Art Gallery

La Geelong Art Gallery (galerie d'art Geelong) est une galerie régionale majeure dans la ville de Geelong, à Victoria, en Australie. La galerie possède environ 5 000 œuvres d'art dans sa collection. Histoire La capacité de galerie d'art à Geelong fut initialement demandée grâce à une requête en 1895, par les membres de la ligue du progrès de la ville de Geelong. C'est en mai 1900, que l'autorisation fut donnée pour que l'Association de Geelong Galerie Art puisse procéder à l'accrochage de tableaux sur trois murs dans l'hôtel de ville de Geelong. Parmi les premières acquisitions réalisées, une peinture de A Bush Burial de Frederick McCubbin (1890), coûta 100 guinées (210 $ USD) à l'époque. La galerie fut ensuite rapidement déplacée vers le bâtiment de la bibliothèque à Moorabool Street (entre Malop et Streets Corio). Jason Smith fut directeur du musée de 2016 à 2024. Collections actuelles La Geelong Art Gallery dispose de peintures européennes et arts décoratifs, y compris la porcelaine des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles anglais, poterie d'art britannique, argent colonial australien, ainsi que des peintures australiennes contemporaines, gravures, sculptures et céramiques.

Galeria de Artă din Geelong

Galeria de Artă din Geelong, cunoscută în prezent sub numele de Galeria din Geelong, este o galerie regională importantă din orașul Geelong din Victoria, Australia. Galeria are peste 6.000 de opere de artă în colecția sa. Galeria este formată din Incinta Culturală din Geelong alături de Biblioteca din Geelong și Centrul de Patrimoniu Geelong adiacent (Biblioteca Regională din Geelong și Centrul de Patrimoniu din Geelong), Centrul de Artă din Geelong și Tribunalul din Geelong (găzduiește Teatrul Back to Back și Platform Arts). Istorie O galerie de artă pentru Geelong a fost solicitată pentru prima dată în 1895 de către membrii Geelong Progress League. În mai 1900, Asociația Galeriilor de Artă din Geelong a primit permisiunea de a folosi trei pereți din Primăria din Geelong pentru a expune lucrări de artă. Printre primele achiziții făcute a fost pictura A Bush Burial a lui Frederick McCubbin din 1890, care a costat 100 de guinee (210 dolari americani) la acea vreme. La 31 mai 1900, la primărie a avut loc deschiderea oficială a Galeriei de Artă din Geelong. A prezidat S. Austin, iar primarul Alderman Carr a ținut un discurs în care a declarat oficial că este deschis publicului.[1] Galeria a fost mutată în curând în Clădirea Bibliotecii Libere din strada Moorabool (între străzile Malop și Corio). În martie 1903, două acuarele despre viața colonială din Victoria au fost prezentate Galeriei de Artă din Geelong de către G.M. Hitchcock. Una îl înfățișează pe William Buckley „sălbaticul alb ”.[2] Cealaltă acuarelă este a interiorului primului birou de ziar din Melbourne.[3] Clădirea Actuala galerie din Geelong a fost deschisă oficial în 1915 și a fost ridicată ca un memorial al regretatului George M. Hitchcock. Este situat în partea de sud a Parcului Johnstone, între Primărie și fosta stație de pompieri, acum ocupată de Biblioteca și Centrul de Patrimoniu din Geelong. Clădirea inițială a constat dintr-un portic și un vestibul cu vedere spre parc și Galeria G. M. Hitchcock. Primele adăugări la galerie au avut loc în 1928, când a fost deschisă Galeria Henry P. Douglas, urmată de Galeria H.F. Richardson în 1937. Intrarea principală în galerie a fost mutată pe strada Little Malop odată cu deschiderea galeriei J.H. Galeria McPhillimy de către prim-ministrul de atunci Joseph Lyons în 1938. A urmat o extindere ulterioară în 1956 și una în 1971, renovări contemporane având loc în 2001 și 2017. Colecții Galeria are o colecție de peste 6.000 de obiecte australiene și internaționale, inclusiv scrieri pe hârtie, picturi, artă decorativă și sculptură. Articolele individuale ale colecției pot fi vizualizate pe site-ul web al colecției Geelong Gallery. Note Bibliografie Beg, Peter. (1990). Geelong - The First 150 Years. Globe Press.
