Kingston House, Kingston Park

Kingston Historical House is a pioneer house found in Kingston Park, South Australia, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. Early history Sir George Strickland Kingston purchased eighty acres (32 hectares) of land in 1839 in the area now known as Kingston Park. The house was built in two stages, firstly in 1840 and then in 1851. As such it is the oldest building in Holdfast Bay City Council and one of the oldest in the state of South Australia. In 1840 Kingston leased the premises to fellow Cygnet passenger, Robert Bristow, who began the first hotel in the Brighton-Marino district. Bristow was granted a licence to sell beer and wine in September 1840. Patronage for the inn was expected from fishermen, quarrymen and sailors given the nearby fishing village, newly opened quarry and newly built pier. Management changed hands in late 1841 to Mr Burslem who maintained it as the Marino Hotel and Boarding House until 1843. From then until 1851, Kingston leased the land to farmer Samual Oakley. In 1851 Kingston undertook extensions and renovations in preparation for this to become his family's seaside holiday abode. Ownership was passed down to his son, Charles Kingston, Premier of South Australia. Government ownership The land and building was purchased in 1919 by the State Government of South Australia, upon Lucy Kingston's (widow of Charles) death. A major restoration was undertaken in 1983. The building is now set on a 3-acre (12,000 m2) reserve sitting atop the Kingston Beach Cliff Face, and the house is surrounded by a small park. The building was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate on 21 March 1978 and on the South Australian Heritage Register on 24 June 1980.

À ses débuts, le parc ne comptait que deux koalas : Jack et Jill. Le parc a commencé à se faire connaître durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, lorsque des américains, y compris la femme de Douglas MacArthur, visitèrent le parc pour découvrir la faune et la flore australienne.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary är världens äldsta och största fristad för australiska djur och ligger i Brisbane-förorten Fig Tree Pocket, Queensland, Australien. Historia Namnet Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary kommer från den ensamma Araucaria cunninghamii-växten som planterades av familjen Clarkson, de första ägarna av det 4,6 hektar stora området. Parken öppnade år 1927 med endast två koalor vid namn Jack och Jill. Lone Pine blev först internationellt känt under andra världskriget när amerikaner besökte parken för att uppleva Australiens vilda djur. Djur Hos Lone Pine finns fladdermöss, över 130 koalor, kängurur, tasmanska djävlar, vombater, myrpiggsvin, ormar och ödlor samt från och med år 2010 ett näbbdjur. Brisbane-översvämningarna 2011 Lone Pine blev hårt drabbad under översvämningen i januari 2011 där 20 % av parken var under vatten. Tack vare personal, familj, vänner och volontärer lyckades Lone Pine öppna redan 10 dagar efter översvämningen.

Koala Park Sanctuary

The Koala Park Sanctuary is a privately owned and run Australian wildlife park on 10 acres in West Pennant Hills, a northern suburb of Sydney. The park is known for its collection of koalas and other Australian animals and is set in a rainforest-like area. It exists to show Australian native animals and birds and teach the public about them. The park receives about 400,000 guests annually. History The construction of the Koala Park Sanctuary began in the 1920s, and it opened in October 1930. The park is situated on a 40-acre allotment across Castle Hill Road, which initially started as the Koala Park in the late 1920s. The souvenir room and kiosk were built as tea rooms. However, the site's exposure to winter winds made it challenging to maintain the animals' health. Environmentalist Noel Burnet had seen the decimation of the koala population for the fur trade. At the time there was little awareness of ecological issues and the trade was seen as helpful to Australia's balance of payments. For conservation and humanitarian reasons, the Koala Club of Australia took up the issue. Burnet wrote: "He dedicated the remainder of his life to researching and preserving the animals' habitat." Animals The park is a walk-through wildlife park with most of the animals being exhibited behind wire and cage-style exhibits. The following animals are currently held in the park's collection: Events The park formerly had a live sheep shearing exhibition run at various times throughout the day called "The Stockman's Camp". It also recounts Australian bush stories sometimes at a billy tea drinking presentation. The park also allows visitors to handle the animals, abiding by the Queensland Code of Practice for koala handling time. Conservation The Koala Park Sanctuary opened a koala research hospital in 1930, caring for sick and injured native animals and releasing them back into the wild. It is open to the public and provides education about native animals and the problems faced by the koalas living close to humans. Burnet was aware of the risk of the extinction of koalas. The Koala Park successfully bred sixty koalas in its first 11 years and it claims to be the first sanctuary to breed koalas in captivity. The park opened without subsidies from the government. Controversy In December 2010, the Department of Primary Industries inspectors reported finding ageing and dirty animal exhibits, drainage problems, and out-of-date records. The inspectors issued a series of notices to Koala Park Sanctuary to fix the issues. A newspaper editor attended the park and claimed a number of issues had not been resolved and believed that animals were suffering. However, an RSPCA inspector who visited the park said he did not believe any of the animals were suffering or had been neglected or were malnourished. In February 2016, the RSPCA fined the sanctuary $75,000 and banned them from acquiring new koalas for six months due to a koala being dehydrated and emaciated and five koalas showing signs of chlamydia.

Kogarah High School

Kogarah High School is a comprehensive co-educational school located in Kogarah, New South Wales, Australia. Sport houses Kogarah High School has a long history of student achievement both academically, and on the sporting field. The school's sport houses are named after four sporting greats who are former students; Rosewall, Crampton, O'Neill and Chapman. History 1891: A New Building In 1876 a new public school was built as well as a teachers’ residence on a site behind the present high school in Regent Street. The expansion of the railway line to Kogarah and beyond, early in the 1880s was a great influence on Kogarah High School as it enabled easy travel for students from neighbouring suburbs and enrolments subsequently increased. 1891 saw the construction of the older half of the present senior school. Here is an architect's description of the building contained in Department of Education records: "The building is of Jacobean type, built of buff bricks, with dark brick and stone dressings and roofed with red Marseilles tiles." During this era, the school functioned as an infants and primary school, but by 1892, it has been redesigned as a "Superior School", meaning that some of its students were doing secondary work. The school continued to expand in the first decade of the 20th century, reaching an enrolment of 1,500 in 1909. Around this time, the school functioned as 3 separate departments. There was an infants and primary section, a Girls Intermediate High School section from 1913 and a Boys Intermediate High School section formed in 1920. Part of the girls' section broke away to form St George Girls High School in 1916 but girls continued to be taught by a section that became known as the Kogarah Central Domestic Science School. The infants' section moved away to the site of the present Kogarah Public School in 1954, and the primary section soon joined them. In 1959 the Home Science School became a full High School and the Boys' school received this status in 1959. This meant that they both were teaching students up to the level of the Leaving Certificate. In 1963, both schools combined to form Kogarah High School as the co-educational school it is today.
