Police Citizens Youth Club

Police & Community Youth Clubs (PCYC) or Police and Community Youth Clubs is a network of Australian non-profit, community organisations, founded in New South Wales. In some states such as NSW, they are constituted as an Incorporated Association. The mission of PCYC is to get young people active in life; develop their skills, character and leadership; and prevent and reduce crime by and against young people. The organisation is community-based and involves the provision of low-cost structured activities to children and adults, aimed specifically at the underprivileged persons in the community. The clubs contain a wide variety of sports such as basketball, indoor soccer, weightlifting gyms, dancing, wrestling/grappling, boxing, martial arts, chess, and many other activities and hobbies. Different clubs may have different activities going on to one another. The PCYC has a range of over 66 clubs across the state. History The first PCYC was opened in Woolloomooloo, New South Wales on 1 April 1937 by the Police Commissioner, William John Mackay. They were originally known as the "Police Rotary Youth Club", and later, "Police Boy's Clubs". In 1936, Mackay visited England, Germany, Italy and the US with the brief of “reviewing the methods of combating crime”. He praised the labour youth battalions because, he said, they "subordinate the individual to the welfare of the nation". Upon returning to Australia, he garnered the support of the Rotary Clubs in Australia, who provided financial support and set up the first Police Boys Club. As recorded in "Achieving for Others: Rotary Club of Sydney 1921 - 2005" "'Sir Henry Braddon KBE, the then President of The Rotary Club of Sydney 1935-1936, at a meeting of the Board on 8 July 1935 strongly advocated the adoption of a community service project. A fortnight later he brought before the Board a scheme involving the conversion of a disused Police Station into club rooms for boys. The idea had come from fellow Rotarian, Bill Mackay, the Commissioner of Police. A correspondent to the Sydney Morning Herald later praised Mackay as deserving of 'great credit' for having conceived 'such as practical and national-minded scheme'". The police agreed to make unwanted police stations available and to provide staff and management, the government promised to pay for converting the buildings and the Rotary Club of Sydney agreed to bear the cost of equipment, furniture and a library. Renovation of the Woolloomooloo police station began in May 1936, work was completed by March 1937 and the Club was opened on April 1, 1937. States Name and locations of PCYC's in each state.

HMAS Vampire (D11)

Le HMAS Vampire (D11) était le troisième des trois destroyers de classe Daring de construction australienne servant dans la Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Il est l'un des premiers navires entièrement soudés construits en Australie, au chantier naval de l'Île Cockatoo entre 1952 et 1959, et a été mis en service dans le RAN un jour après son achèvement. Historique Le destroyer Vampire a été régulièrement déployé en Asie du Sud-Est au cours de sa carrière : il a été attaché à la Réserve stratégique d'Extrême-Orient (Far East Strategic Reserve (en)) à cinq reprises, y compris lors de la confrontation Indonésio-malaisienne, et a escorté le transport de troupes HMAS Sydney lors de six des vingt-cinq voyages de transport de ce dernier au Vietnam. En 1977, le destroyer a été chargé d'escorter le yacht royal britannique Britannia lors de la visite de la reine Élisabeth II et du prince Philip en Australie. En 1980, Vampire a été reclassé en tant que navire-école. Désarmement et préservation Le navire de guerre est resté en service jusqu'en 1986, date à laquelle il a été mis hors service et présenté au Musée national de la marine de Sydney pour être conservé en tant que navire musée. Il est le plus grand navire appartenant à un musée en exposition en Australie. En novembre 2015, le navire de guerre a été déplacé vers les pavillons des navires de guerre du Musée maritime national australien aux côtés du HMAS Onslow, du HMAS Advance et de la réplique du HMS Endeavour.

HMAS Vampire (1956)

A HMAS Vampire volt a harmadik, a három ausztrál-építésű Daring-osztályú romboló közül. A hajó az Ausztrál Királyi Haditengerészetnél szolgált. Építését 1952. július 1-jén kezdték a Sydney-i Cockatoo Island Dockyardban. A Vampire-t 1956. október 27-én bocsátották vízre, és 1959. június 23-án állították hadrendbe. A Vampire, pályafutása nagy részét délkelet-ázsiai gyakorlatokkal és utazásokkal töltötte. Mindössze két háborús bevetésen vett részt. Egyik a HMAS Sydney repülőgép-hordozó kísérete a vietnámi háború alatt 1965-ben és 1966-ban, a másik pedig a Maláj-félsziget és Borneó partjai mentén történő járőrözés az 1966-os Indonéz-Maláj konfliktus során. 1977-ben a Vampire kísérte II. Erzsébet hajóját, a HMY Britanniát a királynő uralkodásának 25. évfordulóján tartott világ körüli útjának ausztráliai szakaszán. 1980-ban a hajót kiképzőhajóvá alakították át. 1986. augusztus 13-án a hajót kivonták a hadrendből, és múzeumhajóvá alakították, a Sydney-i Ausztrál Nemzeti Tengerészeti Múzeumban (Australian National Maritime Museum), ahol a legnagyobb úszó kiállítás vált belőle. A Vampire a legnagyobb múzeumhajó egész Ausztráliában. 2006. október 18-án a Vampire-t a HMAS Kuttabul tengerészeti támaszpontra szállították, ahol felújították. Emiatt számos híresztelés látott napvilágot, melyek szerint a hajót felújítják, és ismét szolgálatba áll. A felújítás során tűz ütött ki a hajó kazántermében, de szerencsére senki nem sérült meg, és helyrehozhatatlan kár sem keletkezett. November 29-én a Vampire visszakerült a múzeumba.

Prahran Market

Prahran Market is a food market in South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Located on Commercial Road near Chapel Street, it was established in neighbouring Prahran in the 1860s, before moving to its present location in 1881. The market has a variety of stalls and specialty shops selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and deli foods, as well as cafes. The market is open every day except Mondays and Wednesdays, with select traders operating on Sundays. History The original Prahran (pronounced /pɛ'ræn/) Market had its origins in 1864 when the Prahran Council purchased land near the corner of Greville and Grattan Street, which today is replaced by a garden and fountain. The council determined that, due to the population growth during the 1850s, a central market place was required for many small farmers and market gardeners in the area in order to be able to sell their produce. This first Prahran market was in operation, by June 1867. By 1881, the site had become overcrowded and the market was moved to its present location on Commercial Road. The erection of market buildings and extension of stalls was carried out in 1890 and the new Prahran Market was opened in 1891. The present façade on Commercial Road, which exhibits mannerist and Anglo-Dutch influences, is much the same as it was in 1891 and includes the complete mansard roof. The market was further extended in 1923 and in the late 1920s, refrigeration became available for perishable goods. The balcony above the Commercial Road shops was the site for Friday night concerts by The Salvation Army. The market became a distribution point for groceries, clothing and boots for the unemployed during the depression years of the 1930s. During the Second World War, most of the men in the market were conscripted into the armed forces and their wives and children undertook the job of buying, carting and selling produce. The fruit and vegetable section of the Market was destroyed in a fire on Boxing Day 1950, after which a temporary structure was erected. But it was not until 1972, that the Prahran Council sought tenders for the redevelopment of the market site. The final stage of the redevelopment was completed in 1976 at a total cost of A$6.5 million. In the 1990s, an independent Board was appointed to run the Market, major structural repairs and renovations to the market complex were completed, and a multi-level carpark between Elizabeth and Barry Street was added. Transport The Sandringham railway service stops at nearby South Yarra and Prahran railway stations. Tram route 72 runs along Commercial Road and stops right outside the market. Tram route 78 operates along Chapel Street and Kinetic Melbourne bus routes 216, 219, and 220 operate along Commercial Road. References External links Prahran Market web site
Prahran Town Hall

Prahran Town Hall is a civic building located on the corner of Chapel Street and Greville Street in Prahran, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. After the amalgamation of the City of Prahran with the City of Malvern in 1994 to form the City of Stonnington, the Town Hall now houses services including the Greville Street Library. The original Town Hall was built in 1861 to the design of local architects Crouch and Wilson in the Italianate style of Victorian architecture popular in Melbourne at the time, including Italian Renaissance inspired interior spaces. The building was extended in 1888 to include a City Hall in a similar style. The clock tower was designed by Charles D'Ebro and built in 1890 above the municipal offices and council chambers for the former City of Prahran. In the 1960s, the decorative tower was truncated.

Preston Mosque

The Preston Mosque, officially the Umar bin Al-Khattab Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque located in Preston, a suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. The mosque is run by the (co-located) Islamic Society of Victoria Inc (ISV) and, between 2007 and 2011, was the seat of the late Muslim cleric, Sheik Fehmi Naji El-Imam, who was appointed as Grand Mufti of Australia. History Before the mosque was built, Muslims would gather at a house that used to be on the property. In 1975 the building began and was completed the following year in 1976. The dome and minaret were added later. Most of it was funded by Bosnian, Arab, Indian and Pakistani immigrants. Background About 800 people pass through the mosque per day over the course of the five daily prayers. For the Friday Congregational Prayer, at least 1000 worshipers will attend, and if the Friday falls on a public holiday that number can easily climb to 1500 worshipers. Memorandum of Understanding In 2009, the Darebin City Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Society of Victoria (ISV). This was the first of its kind in Australia between a mosque and council, and has resulted in a strong and robust relationship between Council and mosque. The focus of the memorandum is that the council and mosque will work together on projects that have benefit to the community. The City of Darebin is home to people from 148 different countries, who speak 105 different languages. Mosque personnel After Sheikh Fehmi Naji El Imam died on 24 September 2016, the Sheikh for the Preston Mosque was Mohamad Mahmoud Abou Eid, until his services were annulled. Services Controversies In the 1990s supporters of cleric Mohammed Omran engineered an election and amended the Preston mosque's constitution while the imam, Sheikh Fehmi el-Naji, was on the Hajj to Mecca. Supporters of Sheikh Fehmi worked hard over the next decade to regain ground, and by 2005 were claiming that they had achieved an uneasy balance within the congregation. In 2012, a Preston mosque committee member advised wives to "fulfil the rights" of their husbands, by sharing him with other women. It was reported that this proposal outraged the local Muslim women. In early 2017, police were called to the mosque following a serious altercation between factions. It was reported the conflict was over financial irregularities at the mosque. Sheikh Mohamad Mahmoud Abou Eid was suspended.
