Warrnambool College

Warrnambool College is a government high school (years 7–12) in the regional town of Warrnambool in south-west Victoria, Australia. The school now known as Warrnambool College started out in 1907 as Warrnambool Agricultural High School. After a number of changes, the school opened as Warrnambool College in 1995 after the merger of Warrnambool Secondary College and Warrnambool North Secondary College. Warrnambool College consists of two campuses. The main campus, which comprises the majority of the school community, is located in an extensive set of school buildings on Grafton Road, near the Warrnambool racecourse. The second campus, called the WAVE school, is an alternative educational setting for students who have had difficulty fitting into mainstream education. It is located in East Warrnambool. Houses In 2011 Warrnambool College introduced a pastoral care system through six houses: Belfast, Childers, Flagstaff, Hopkins, Logans and Merri. These houses are named after local colonial named landmarks in the region, including the Merri and Hopkins Rivers Every year, a "celebration day" is held for each house, at different times of the year, in order to raise money for each house's charity. These houses were abolished for most uses for the 2026 academic year, being replaced with "sub-schools". School profile Warrnambool College hosts a campus of the Clontarf Football Academy for male indigenous students. The staffing profile for the school (as at 2014) was – principal and two assistant principals, 85 full-time-equivalent teachers and 30 full-time-equivalent education support staff. School colours The Warrnambool College school colours are navy blue, white and green, as displayed in the school uniform The houses that all staff and students are placed in as part of the pastoral care program have the following colours: Belfast – Green Childers – Yellow Flagstaff – Red Hopkins – Blue Logans – Purple Merri – Orange Controversy In 2024, the school was brought before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal regarding student abuse towards teachers. VCAT has found that staff at the school at the time faced up to 20 violent and sexist attacks per day and that 70 have been responsible for these incidents.

Warwick Farm Raceway

Der Warwick Farm Raceway war eine Motorsport-Rennstrecke in Liverpool City in Australien. Sie wurde von 1960 bis 1973 verwendet und war Austragungsort verschiedener Rennserien, darunter mehrmals der Große Preis von Australien. Geschichte Die Strecke entstand in den 1960er Jahren und wurde innerhalb und neben einer Pferderennstrecke des Australian Jockey Club von einer Gruppe von Motorsportenthusiasten erbaut. Die beiden Kurse koexistierten über die Jahre, wobei bei Rennveranstaltungen temporäre Kreuzungen installiert werden mussten. Trotzdem war der Vertrag für beide Seiten vorteilhaft, da die Einnahmen der Autorennen die niedrigen Zuschauerzahlen der Pferderennen kompensierten. Bei der Planung des Kurses war Geoff Sykes, Mitglied des British Automobile Racing Club, beteiligt. Mit der Eröffnung im Jahr 1960 kamen im Laufe der Jahre verschiedene Rennen nach Warwick Farm, auch wenn der Versuch einen Großen Preis der Formel-1 dort auszurichten, scheiterte. Mit der Zeit kam es aufgrund der Sicherheitsstandards zu Problemen. So kam im Jahr 1968 der australische Formula-Vee-Pilot Dave Carter bei einem Trainingsunfall ums Leben, als sein Wagen von der Strecke abkam und sich in einen der Teiche auf dem Gelände überschlug, wobei der im Wagen eingeklemmte Pilot dabei ertrank. Der Australische-Motorsport-Dachverband verlangte die Installierung neuer Leitplanken, was der Jockey Club aus finanziellen Gründen ablehnte. Dementsprechend wurde im August 1973 das letzte Autorennen dort ausgetragen. Nach der Schließung wurde der Short Circuit noch einige Jahre als Austragungsort eines Marathons und für Fahrschulungen genutzt. Doch auch dieser Kurs wurde einige Jahre später aufgegeben und durch eine neue Pferderennbahn ersetzt. Heutzutage ist fast nichts mehr von dem Kurs übrig, lediglich ein paar Teile des Belags sind sichtbar. Die Boxengebäude sind verlassen. Die Strecke Der Kurs erfüllte mit 3,6 Kilometern Länge die FIA-Kriterien für Formel-1-Rennstrecken und war aufgrund der guten Anbindung an die Stadt gut besucht. Auch wenn damals noch kein Rennen der Königsklasse in Australien ausgetragen wurde, waren auf dem Kurs immer wieder bekannte Fahrer wie Jim Clark und Graham Hill zugegen. Veranstaltungen Insgesamt vier Mal wurde der Große Preis von Australien dort ausgetragen, wobei bekannte Fahrer wie Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart und Stirling Moss diesen gewinnen konnten. Auch die Tasman-Serie und das Australian Drivers’ Championship hielten Rennen auf der Strecke ab.

It opened in 1997, and is owned by the Queensland Investment Corporation. History The site was purchased by the Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) in February 1995, with construction commencing in October 1996. The initial proposal for the site included 30,000 m2 (320,000 sq ft) of retail space at the cost of A$100,000,000 (equivalent to $195,846,094 in 2022), with anchor tenants Bi-Lo, Hoyts, Woolworths and Target. The centre opened as Watergardens Shopping Centre on 29 September 1997 with 100 speciality stores: the name Watergardens was reportedly chosen in homage of the adjacent Taylors Creek. The adjacent Watergardens Town Centre Homemaker Centre opened in 2001, expanding to 15,000 m2 (160,000 sq ft) of retail space in 2002. Watergardens railway station was also opened in 2002 following the extension of M>Train's St Albans services to Sydenham, with QIC purchasing the naming rights to the station. A further expansion to the centre was announced in 2003, adding a further 25,000 m2 (270,000 sq ft) of retail space south of the complex. Construction commenced in December 2005 and was originally planned to open in April 2007, but was delayed until May of that year. The expansion included Big W, JB Hi-fi and a second Woolworths supermarket. A record crowd attended the centre on 23 December 2007, with more than 45,000 customers attending the centre.In 2008 Myer planned to open a branch at the shopping centre which was eventually scrapped in 2012. An expansion of the centre was undertaken between 2019 and 2020, resulting in the closure of the Coles (previously Bi-lo) store. The expansion, known as 'The Marketplace', was completed in 2020 and included an Aldi supermarket. As part of nationwide restructuring, the Target store was replaced by Kmart in early-mid 2021. In June 2023 the second Woolworths supermarket, which opened as part of the second expansion of the centre in 2007, was closed.

Waterhouse Island (Tasmania)

Waterhouse Island è un'isola che fa parte del Waterhouse Island Group e si trova nello stretto di Bass in Tasmania (Australia). L'isola appartiene alla municipalità di Dorset. Parte dell'isola (107 ettari) è stata proclamata area protetta il 28 settembre 2011 (Waterhouse Island Conservation Area). Geografia Waterhouse si trova a ovest dello stretto di Banks, parte dello stretto di Bass, e di Cape Portland (la punta nord-est della Tasmania); è situata a sud-ovest di Cape Barren Island e Clarke Island che fanno parte delle isole Furneaux. L'isola ha una superficie di 2,87 km². Un faro si trova a nord dell'isola. Il Waterhouse Island Group comprende le isole adiacenti alla costa della parte nord-orientale della Tasmania: Little Waterhouse, Swan, Little Swan, Cygnet, Foster, St Helens, Ninth, Tenth, Paddys, Maclean e Baynes, oltre agli isolotti Bird Rock e George Rocks e gli scogli adiacenti. Fauna Fino agli anni Settanta, l'attività di pascolo aveva portato a un degrado della vegetazione che aveva colpito le colonie di Ardenna. Gli attuali proprietari hanno recintato le aree vulnerabili e hanno intrapreso un ampio programma di ripristino della vegetazione. Si sono ora stabilizzate le colonie del pinguino minore blu e della berta codacorta. Toponimo L'isola prende il nome di Henry Waterhouse (1770 – 1812) della Royal Navy capitano della HMS Reliance.

Уотерхаус (остров, Тасмания)

Уотерхаус (англ. Waterhouse Island) — остров у северо-восточного побережья острова Тасмания (Австралия), входит в состав штата Тасмания. Площадь острова 2,87 км². География Остров Уотерхаус находится примерно в 3 км от ближайшей точки побережья острова Тасмания, от которого его отделяет пролив Уотерхаус (Waterhouse Passage). В проливе, примерно в 1 км от юго-западной оконечности острова Уотерхаус и в 2 км от побережья Тасмании, находится небольшой остров Литл-Уотерхаус (Little Waterhouse Island). Расстояние от острова Уотерхаус до населённого пункта Бридпорт, расположенного на побережье Тасмании в юго-западном направлении от острова, составляет около 30 км. Остров Уотерхаус принадлежит к так называемой «группе островов Уотерхаус» (Waterhouse Island Group), к которой, помимо него и острова Литл-Уотерхаус, также причисляют острова Суон (Swan Island), Литл-Суон (Little Swan Island), Сигнет (Cygnet Island), Фостер (Foster Islands), Сент-Хеленс (St Helens Island), Паддис (Paddys Island), Маклин (Maclean Island), Бейнс (Baynes Island) и другие. Высшая точка острова Уотерхаус находится на высоте около 44 м над уровнем моря, протяжённость острова (с юго-запада на северо-восток) — около 4,3 км. Площадь острова составляет 710 акров (2,87 км²). История Остров был назван в честь Генри Уотерхауса, коммандера корабля Reliance, исследовавшего побережье Австралии в 1790-х годах. В 1802 году мимо острова проплывала экспедиция французского мореплавателя Николя-Тома Бодена. Введённый в заблуждение названием острова, Боден надеялся пополнить там запасы пресной воды, но это ему не удалось. В своём дневнике он записал: «Не похоже, что там можно было найти какую-либо воду, и я убеждён, что он [остров] мог был быть назван Water House только потому, что англичане высаживались там во время сильных дождей». Остров Уотерхаус находится в частном владении. С начала 1970-х годов островом владели несколько семей, используя его в качестве места для отдыха, а в 2016 году он был продан сингапурскому бизнесмену за пять с половиной миллионов австралийских долларов. На острове есть несколько домов, причал, маяк, а также взлётно-посадочная полоса 07/25 длиной 396 м. См. также Список островов штата Тасмания Примечания

Wattle Dam Gold Mine

The Wattle Dam Gold Mine is a gold mine located 25 kilometres south west of Kambalda, Western Australia and is owned by Maximus Resources. It is formerly owned by Ramelius Resources. Ramelius, listed at the Australian Securities Exchange since 2003, discovered Wattle Dam in 2005 and began mining the deposit in 2006. Ore from Wattle Dam was not treated on site but rather taken to the company's Burbanks Treatment Plant, eight kilometres south of Coolgardie, near the Burbanks Gold Mine which was owned by Barra Resources. Mining at Wattle Dam ceased in 2012, with the mine in care and maintenance since. History Ramelius discovered the deposit in 2005 and began mining in March 2006. After two periods of open-pit mining in 2006 and 2008–09, underground development by HWE Mining commenced in May 2009. The company expects high grade underground ore to be available for milling in December 2009. The ore was treated at the Burbanks Treatment Plant, 65 km from Wattle Dam. Ramelius purchased the plant in November 2006 for $2.8 million. Ramelius spent a further $1.3 million on refurbishing the facility, which has a capacity to treat up to 180,000 tonnes of ore per annum. When not used for Wattle Dam ore, the facility toll treats third party ore, for example from July to September 2009. Before the purchase of Burbanks, Ramelius had its ore treated at the plant of the Higginsville Gold Mine, owned by Avoca Resources. Ramelius made headlines in 2009 when it became engaged in a bitter dispute with Avoca Resources over conflicting takeover bids for Dioro Exploration NL. Avoca eventually had to drop its bid for Dioro, having reached a 44.85% interest in Dioro at the close of the offer on 20 August, short of the 50% needed. Ramelius's offer for the company closes on 8 February 2010. Avoca made a renewed takeover offer for the company in late December 2009. Avoca eventually succeeded in its bid for Dioro and, on 21 April 2010, Dioro was delisted from the ASX. The mine ceased production in 2012, having produced 213,650 ounces of gold from its underground operations between 2006 and 2012, reaching a depth of 365 metres, and at a grade of 14.9 grams per tonne. Open pit mining at Wattle Dam, which finished in 2008, produced a further 52,700 ounces, at a grade of 5.3 grams per tonne. Both the underground and surface mining grade is considered high by industry standards. Ramelius purchased the Hill 50 Gold Mine from Harmony Gold for $40 million in July 2010, and eventually opted to focus on this operation instead. Ramelius sold the mine to Tychean Resources in 2013 who, in turn, sold the mine on to Maximus Resources two years later.

Wavell State High School

Wavell State High School is a coeducational public secondary school based in Wavell Heights, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The school has a total enrolment of more than 1500 students from years 7–12, with an official count of 1674 students in 2019. Since 2025, the role of Acting Executive Principal of the School has been held by Luke Ferdinands. Some of the school's buildings are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. History Wavell State High School opened on 27 January 1959 under the leadership of the founding Principal, C.E. Anstey. As the suburb of the school, Wavell Heights, which was named in 1942, Wavell State High School was named after Field Marshal Archibald Percival Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell (5 May 1883 – 24 May 1950), a Commander-in-Chief of British and Dominion Forces in the Middle East from July 1939 to July 1941. Many Australians served under his command during the early period of World War II; mostly in North Africa, Greece, Crete and Syria. In 2018, many of the school's original buildings were added to the Queensland Heritage Register in recognition of their historical and cultural significance. In early 2021, Jeff Major, the school's eighth principal and its longest-serving principal, announced that he would take extended leave as part of his transition towards retirement. He was succeeded in an acting capacity by Elizabeth Foster of MacGregor State High School. Sporting houses Wavell State High School's four sporting houses, Alamein, Burma, Keren and Tobruk, are named in reference to places and battles associated with Earl Wavell: Alamein commemorates the Second Battle of El Alamein, the turning point of World War II in the Middle East. Burma, part of Wavell's responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief of the south-West Pacific, was invaded in December 1941 by the Japanese Army who gained control of the country by May 1942. Australian Air Force and Navy personnel were among those Allied forces who retook Burma in 1945. Keren was the location of a decisive and bitter battle from 15 to 26 March 1941 in which British troops defeated Italian troops. Tobruk was the scene of a siege in which allied servicemen defended the town against the German Army from 10 April to 7 December 1941. This siege of 242 days is the longest in British Military history. Notable alumni The school is known for producing many rugby league footballers that have played in the NRL.
