MOUNT Gambier’s abandoned and vandalised old hospital site.
I was passing with a coworker and took a few snaps. The Hospital has just sold and the new owner is cleaning up.
The scap metal merchants invited us in for a closer look. We got rock star access to the entire site.
The 4.9ha property has been closed to the general public for about 13 years.
The ugly and derelict old Mount Gambier Hospital occupies a prime location with views in both directions
The empty shell of the hospital and the surrounding land was originally on-sold to Sky Towers Mount Gambier P/L . They've done little to the site in recent
years, despite calls for the building to be demolished or redeveloped. Now it has a new owner.
The plan originally included demolition of part of the old hospital, and turning the remains of the building into luxury apartments. In a controversial move,
they also hoped to build a six storey retirement village on the site and subdivide some of the land for a future housing blocks.
The old hospital had been private property since 1998
It is a magnet for vandalism, drug making, squatters and potential death. The Lake Terrace address was opened around 1969/1970 and closed about 1997.
Walking about the grounds, you find doors that open onto overgrowth, the paths are gone and literally you can't use the door.
We found Steam-driven sterilizer's (Smith and Co Steam driven sterilizer - made in Bromptom) - h.l. smith & co pty ltd
We also found Johns Perry Lifts. (This was a company that started out as Johns & Waygood, became Johns Perry, was purchased by Boral and then sold to Otis
who shut it down to remove their major local competitor).
We also saw the remains of lift shafts, piping, dumb waiters and much more.
The building is still solid (Although the gaping holes to the floors many meters below are unsafe) and there has been calls for ghost tours.
One can only imagine the births, deaths, pain and joy the walls has seen.
On the lower ground floor you can still walk the maintenance tunnels following the huge pipes that feed the building.
You can climb to the very top of the structure and overlook Mt Gambier.
The floor stairwells are heavily graffitied. You can walk the doctors car pack, the ambulance bay and even look at the big furnace.
There might not be much to look at soon.
Whilst we had "Rock star" access, we had permission to be onsite that we could not abuse. I can't recommend you jump the fence for a look. The site is very
dangerous and we did this on our own back without insurance.

The access to the station yard was blocked by a low loader so the pump was backed into the bay, which is something I’d not seen before.

Washington Park is a public urban park in Portland, Oregon, USA. It includes a zoo, forestry museum, arboretum, children's museum, rose garden, Japanese garden, amphitheatre, memorials, archery range, tennis courts, soccer field, picnic areas, playgrounds, public art and many acres of wild forest with miles of trails. Washington Park covers more than 410 acres (166 hectares) on mostly steep, wooded hillsides which range in elevation from 200 feet (61 m) at 24th & W Burnside to 870 feet (265 m) at SW Fairview Blvd. It comprises 159.7 acres (64.63 hectares) of city park land that has been officially designated as "Washington Park" by the City of Portland,[1] as well as the adjacent 64 acre Oregon Zoo and the 187 acre Hoyt Arboretum, which together make up the area described as "Washington Park" on signs and maps.[2]

The City of Portland purchased the original 40.78 acres (16.5 hectares) in 1871 from Amos King for $32,624, a controversially high price for the time.[3][4] The area, designated "City Park", was wilderness with few roads. Thick brush, trees and roaming cougar discouraged access. In the mid-1880s, Charles M. Meyers was hired as park keeper. A former seaman without landscape training, he transformed the park by drawing on memories of his native Germany and European parks. By 1900, there were roads, trails, landscaped areas with lawns, manicured hedges, flower gardens, and a zoo. Cable cars were added in 1890 and operated until the 1930s.
In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of Olmsted Brothers, a nationally known landscape architecture firm, recommended several changes to the park including the present name, location of the entrance, separate roads and pedestrian paths, and replacement of formal gardens with native species. The name was officially changed from City Park to Washington Park in 1909.[5]
When the county poor farm closed in 1922, the 160 acres (64.75 hectares) were added to Washington Park.
Portland's zoo was founded in Washington Park in 1887 near where the reservoirs are presently located. It moved in 1925 to what is now the Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its present location at the park's southern edge. The only surviving structure from the old zoo is the elephant barn, now converted into a picnic shelter and decorated with tile mosaic of various animals and a life-size brick relief sculpture of an elephant and calf.
The City of Portland plans to demolish the existing number 3 and 4 outdoor reservoirs, then replace them with underground reservoirs covered by reflecting pools, due to their age and a federal mandate to cover all reservoirs.[6] The $67 million project has attracted opposition from historical preservationists and residents concerned about construction impacts.[7]

Trappitello è una frazione del comune di Taormina.Negli ultimi due decenni la popolazione di Trappitello è cresciuta tantissimo, sia per il fatto che oramai a Taormina non vi è più spazio disponibile all'edificazione, sia per il fatto che questa frazione si trova in pianura, immersa in rigogliosi agrumeti, ed è facilmente accessibile dagli svincoli autostradali. Nel territorio insistono numerose attività alberghiere e complessi residenziali che durante il periodo estivo si popolano di turisti provenienti non solo da tutte le parti della Sicilia e dell'Italia ma anche da molti paesi europei. Punto nevralgico delle attività economiche taorminesi, Trappitello è in continua espansione sia dal punto di vista commerciale, sai dal punto di vista demografico.Trappitello è attraversata dalla strada statale 185 e si trova a pochi chilometri dalle Gole dell'Alcantara (ubicate in località Fondaco Motta), le quali ogni anno attraggono migliaia di turisti.

Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways from Messina from the north and Catania .Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.A stay at Taormina is not just a seaside vacation. This area, rich in charm and history, must be experienced in a spirit that is outside the ordinary, and for one simple reason: here, everything is extraordinary. Every stone is a thousand-year-old piece of history, the glorious sea reflects Taormina's beauty, as it shapes and marks the passage of time, and the places that enchanted the Greeks create to this day a vibrant and exciting ambiance. But trying to describe in words what makes Taormina unique is truly difficult.
Taormina ist eine Stadt mit 11.076 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2010) an der Ostküste Siziliens. Die Gründung der Stadt geht auf die Sikuler zurück, die schon vor der griechischen Kolonisation auf den Terrassen des Monte Tauro siedelten. Im 4. Jahrhundert vor Christus wurde die Stadt griechisch. Die heutige Stadt ist eine Neugründung aus dem Mittelalter, nachdem die Araber die antike Stadt zerstört hatten.Auf Grund der malerischen Landschaft, des milden Klimas und zahlreicher historischer Sehenswürdigkeiten entwickelte sich die Stadt im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zu einem der wichtigsten Touristenzentren Siziliens. Besonders bekannt und sehenswert sind das antike Theater mit Blick auf den Ätna und den Golf von Giardini-Naxos und die kleine Insel Isola Bella vor der Küste Taorminas.
Taormina (griego antiguo Ταυρομένιον, Tauromenion, latín Tauromenium) es una ciudad situada en la costa este de la isla de Sicilia (Italia), en la provincia de Mesina, a medio camino entre Mesina y Catania. Cuenta con 10.991 habitantes.Está casi en el límite de la provincia de Catania, se extiende por el monte Tauro, a 200 m de altitud, y se halla en un balcón sobre el mar, enfrente del volcán Etna. Es un centro turístico muy importante desde el siglo XIX.Posee magníficas playas (accesibles mediante teleférico) y un patrimonio histórico muy rico, cuyo máximo exponente es el célebre teatro greco-romano. Además, se conserva un castillo árabe, que ocupa el lugar de la antigua ciudadela o Arx.Taormina y el volcán Etna al fondo, desde el teatro griego.La ciudad fue fundada por los griegos en el 736 a. C., con el nombre de Naxos.La leyenda cuenta que los marinos griegos que pasaban por la costa oriental de Sicilia olvidaron realizar sacrificios en honor a Poseidón, y él, encolerizado, les hizo naufragar. El único superviviente, Teocles, llegó al Capo Schico, próximo a Naxos, y volvió a Grecia para contar las maravillas de Sicilia, convenciendo a sus compatriotas para instalarse en la isla.
Taormine, en italien Taormina, est une commune de la province de Messine en Sicile (Italie).Taormine est située sur la côte est de la Sicile, à peu près à mi-chemin entre Messine et Catane (50 km), presque à la limite de la province de Catane.Elle s’étend sur le Mont Tauro à 200 m d’altitude. La ville est en balcon sur la mer face à l’Etna. La Calabre, distante d'environ 30 km, est visible par temps clair ainsi que la nuit.La légende dit que des marins grecs, passant sur la côte orientale de la Sicile, avaient oublié de sacrifier à Neptune. Celui-ci, en colère, fit chavirer leur embarcation. Le seul survivant, Théocle, parvint au Cap Schiso, non loin du site de Naxos (aujourd'hui Giardini-Naxos). Il retourna ensuite en Grèce pour narrer à ses compatriotes les merveilles de la Sicile. Certains, convaincus, décidèrent de venir s’y installer.
Taormina è un comune di 10.991 abitanti della provincia di Messina. E' uno dei centri balneari di maggiore rilievo di tutta la regione. Il suo aspetto, il suo paesaggio, i suoi luoghi, le sue bellezze riescono ad attirare turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.Situata su una collina a 206 m di altezza sul livello del mare , sospesa tra rocce e mare su un terrazzo del monte Tauro, in uno scenario di bellezze naturali unico per varietà e contrasti di motivi , splendore di colori e lussureggiante vegetazione.Il clima è dolcemente mite.Molto belle le mezze stagioni , Primavera e Autunno infatti vantano un clima idealmente mite.La storia di Taormina è sicuramente costellata da molteplici dominazioni, e questo è possibile vederlo passeggiando per le strade del centro storico che mostrano i segni lasciati dai vari popoli passati per Taomina. Essendo situata al centro del mediterraneo la Sicilia fu sempre una preda ambita per la sua posizione strategica di passaggio,situata sulla parte est e in posizione fortificata su una collina permetteva già da allora di controllare buona parte della costa ionica e ha sempre rappresentato un ottimo punto di fortificazione e controllo nelle stradegie di guerra. Dopo aver attestato l'esistenza di una sede di siculi ( antichi abitanti dell'isola, detti anche sicani) presso Taormina, per certo vi passarono e vi lasciarono le loro tracce I Greci, i Romani, i Saraceni, dunque gli Arabi, i Bizantini ,I Normanni , Gli Aragonesi , e per ultimi i Borboni.Un soggiorno a Taormina non è semplicemente una vacanza al mare. Questi luoghi, pregni di storia e di fascino, chiedono infatti di essere vissuti con uno spirito diverso da quello comune e la ragione è semplice: qui tutto è fuori dall'ordinario.Ogni pietra reca in sé una storia millenaria, il mare meraviglioso su cui Taormina riflette tutta la sua bellezza, condiziona e scandisce lo scorrere del tempo ed i luoghi che furono l'incanto dei greci trasmettono tutt'oggi un'atmosfera vibrante di emozioni. Ma tentare di descrivere con le parole ciò che rende unica Taormina è davvero difficile.

Clear Creek runs into the Obed River north of the Nemo Rapids, and the Emory River runs into the combined waters just above the Nemo Bridge. The water flowing under the bridge is considered the Emory River from there.
At the Nemo Access, you will find a modern new bridge (the William Harry Kries Memorial Bridge) on which to cross the Emory River. However, the old steel girder bridge still stands, brightly rusting, as a pedestrian bridge for hikers. You have a feeling of walking back in time as you casually stroll across the river to the far side. It may be then, for the first time, out on this bridge, that you hear a distant rushing of water. It’s the powerful Class III rapids just 2 to 300 yards south of the bridge!
Down off the bridge, you can walk beneath both bridges to a sandy beach, where it’s obvious that generations have swum there in the summer, and perhaps partied there after dark. There are some broken beer bottles around, so that provides evidence that it still occurs today.
Following the sound of the water around the sandy shore, you will eventually come to the “Nemo Rapids”. The Emory takes a dramatic left turn just below the bridge and heads straight into a rock wall. This steep rocky bluff forces the Emory to then turn back south and head on toward Oakdale, Tennessee, which is 10 miles further down stream. It then flows more slowly past Harriman and finally into the combined waters of the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers.
This is the moment that Fox will lie about. Rioters breaking windows, doors and gaining access to a closed capitol.
I arrived at the capitol at about 6:50pm. You could hear the protesters 2 blocks away yelling "Shame" and "Let us in!" I make my way up to the King St entrance and I'm there all of about 2 minutes when it falls silent instantly. Everybody is listening intently to something and it's soon made known that some republicans are trying to leave the building, so people start going to many different exits to block them and I head over to the main MLK street entrance that I believe is the governors office, but I could be wrong on that, along with a huge flow of other people. There's a stream of people milling around and chanting so I make my way up the steps to the second floor entrance where there's a large crowd shouting "Shame!" I push closer and closer and there's a wall of police blocking the doors. We keep thinking they're about to escort someone out, but it never happens. Finally some police form a single file line and march out, but the doors are still locked with police on the inside looking out.
Meanwhile, I've pushed up to about 2 people behind the doors when all of a sudden, a window to the left of me beside the doors opens up and there's a woman waving people to come in quickly. The window leads into a bathroom. People look around in amazement and wonder what this is all about. The woman again motions for people to get in here. So the most amazing thing happens. A bunch of people press up against the main doors and use their signs to block the view of the open window that people are now filing into. I start firing off pictures, which is what you see above. About 10 seconds pass and I'm wondering if I have a chance of getting in. All sorts of complications are running through my head. A: it's been made illegal as of last week to enter after 6. B: is it a trick? C: The cops have gotta see this and are probably right inside there where I can't see. D: But what is inside? This is the start! GO!
I decide I might not have another chance. I hop through. No sooner than I make it to the door of the bathroom that I am met with police. Oh crap is all I can think. However, it immediately reminds me of a college beer party bust. They weren't even looking at me. They were trying desperately to push past me to get to the window while I was trying to push past them to get in through the door. In the moment of confusion I realized I wasn't going to be in any danger since it was clear all they wanted was to shut the window and stop the flow of people coming in. So I just flattened against the door frame to let the 3 get past me and then I proceeded to get into the hallway.
I can a lot of cheering inside and it turns out there were a couple hundred inside still from before the capitol closed for the night that hadn't left. And this, of course, is when it got interesting. A couple more times huge roars would erupt as a dozen or so people come running in from different hallways. There must be more sneaking in. After about 10 minutes chants of "Let Them In!" began. After only a minute or so, it fell silent and a handful of people ran to the west exit. Another moment of silence followed by huge eruptions of cheering as what seemed like hundreds after hundreds came flowing in from all directions. They gave up and opened the doors!
How We Learn
NPR's "Tell Me More" 8:30 - 9:00 AM doors open, breakfast served; 9:00 - 10:00 AM LIVE SHOW
8:30 am - 10:00 am MDT on Tuesday, July 2, 2013
(Tickets Required) Join NPR's "Tell Me More" for three captivating discussions: In the first, we look at the ways innovations in education are transforming learning experiences for today’s students. Gone are the days when music class was just about listening to Mozart and math class was taught the same way to every student. For the second discussion, we hear from Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who was willing to risk her life in her native Afghanistan for an education. She would finish high school in the United States, eventually graduating from Middlebury College two years ago. Now she speaks about a school she co-founded in Afghanistan that helps young women access education at home and abroad. And finally, we address parenting your twentysomething. No shortage of articles have been written about young people in their twenties, who aren’t making enough money but are making less-than-stellar life decisions. Yet, some suggest that rather than expecting the worst from our 20-year-olds, we ought to set the bar high.

NEoN is bringing the Travelling Gallery to town, Day of Access exhibition will pop up in various locations across the city.
Travelling Gallery is delighted to be working with Alec Finlay to support Day of Access, a powerful campaign which encourages estates to open their land to allow access for people affected by disability. By using hill tracks and four-wheel drives, people who have never been able to immerse themselves in wild nature are driven into the heart Scotland’s beautiful wild landscape.
The Day of Access campaign passionately believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience wild nature. Travelling Gallery will act as the campaign bus touring Day of Access across Scotland; presenting information and artworks and allowing a space for discussions. Documentation from the pilot Day of Access, including work by young photographer Sam McDiarmid, will be exhibited in an art installation created by Finlay.
The themes of disability, access and ecological remediation are explored in Finlay’s poems and artwork. Pages from books exploring illness, pain, walking and healing, including A View from the Front Line by Maggie Keswick Jencks, are used as paper for thoughtful drawings and commanding words “THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXCESS OF ACCESS”.
Alongside his own work Alec has invited other artists and poets to exhibit including Hannah Devereaux, Alison Lloyd, Ken Cockburn and Mhairi Law; each bringing their own creativity and experience to the project. The work is collaboratively displayed like a scrap book or diary pinned on a garden trellis, alongside other domestic apparatus and soft furnishings, such as blankets, a clothes horse, and hankies.
About the Artist:
Alec Finlay (Scotland, 1966) is an internationally-recognised artist and poet whose work crosses over a range of media and forms. Much of Finlay’s work considers how we as a culture, or cultures, relate to landscape and ecology. Through permanent and temporary interventions, integrative web-based projects, and publications, Finlay weaves together generous experiential works, often collaborative, sometimes mapped directly onto the landscape, embedded socially or accessed online. Recently Finlay’s work has focussed on place-awareness and ecopoetics.

Longmont bicycle. My bike barely fit through here -- I squeezed against the black car when walking through this gap. A wheelchair user wishing to cross the street here would be required to go up the sidewalk two or three car-lengths down to the street. These cars were parked in front of the trail next to 655 Rider Ridge Road in Longmont.
