On 27 March 2015, the European Parliament Information Office and the ICA jointly hosted a symposium on health issues and initiatives focussed on promoting good health in older age. The event, which took place in An Grianan, Termonfeckin, Co. Louth, looked at innovative solutions to challenges that rural communities in particular are facing. Speakers included: Liz Wall, President of ICA, Mary Nally, Founder of Third Age, Sadie Bergin, Cooperation and Working Together (CAWT) Cross-Border Health and Social Care and Rodd Bond, programme director of the Netwell Centre, within the School of Health and Science at Dundalk Institute of Technology in Ireland.

ID Thanks to ibsut and Tony Rodd

 

Here at Round Head Headland near Town of 1770 this species occurs side by side in both red and white (or cream) coloured forms.

Interestingly, this is the site where Captain Cook and Joseph Banks, presumably who the species was named after, came ashore on the 24th May 1770.

The following is from Tony Rodd - re the naming of Grevillea banksii. ((See comment on another photo)

G. banksii was named by Robert Brown in 1810, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. Brown stated its origin as "In Novae Hollandiae ora orientale: Keppel Bay, Pine Port, &c". The actual specimen in the British Museum, chosen as lectotype by McGillivray and Makinson from among Brown's collections in the British Museum, is cited by them as "Port I [between Facing and Curtis Islands, near Gladstone]".

 

Here is a few other pics I have of a taller growing Grevillea banksii I have growing here at home.

Tour through secret bunkers, military command posts and original 19th century buildings at Fort Rodd Hill, a west coast artillery fortress on active duty from 1895 to 1956.

 

The heavyweight of Canadian artillery was the 9.2-inch gun. The barrel was 37 feet (11.2 meters) long and weighed 28 tons (this mock-up barrel is a lightweight at a mere 2 tons).

 

Two of these monster guns were dragged up Signal Hill in Esquimalt in 1912. No horses or oxen were used, just strong-backed soldier, stout ropes, pulleys and winches. The cart, called a “drug”, was specially designed for massive loads, with features like steel-shod concrete wheels.

James Gregory was a member of Gray's Inn, a Bencher of that Society, and practiced on the Oxford Circuit. He married Elizabeth Rodd of Foxley (d.1716) and died relatively young, aged 38, on 24th December 1691.

As viewed from: “Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site is a 19th-century coastal artillery fort on the Colwood, British Columbia side of Esquimalt Harbour, (Greater Victoria/Victoria BC Metropolitan Area). The site is adjacent to Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site, the first lighthouse on the west coast of Canada. Both the fort and lighthouse are managed and presented to the public by Parks Canada.”

Tour through secret bunkers, military command posts and original 19th century buildings at Fort Rodd Hill, a west coast artillery fortress on active duty from 1895 to 1956.

 

Between the years of 1895-1897, new forts were built at Fort Rodd Hill, across the harbour from Esquimalt Naval Base, and Macaulay Point, which lies between Victoria harbour and Esquimalt Harbour.

 

Both forts were built with 6” disappearing guns and since Fort Rodd Hill was relatively isolated at the time, its construction included defensive walls lined with rifle slits designed to repel land assaults until reinforcements could arrive from Esquimalt’s Work Point Barracks. In 1900, two 12-pounder quick firing guns were placed at the Belmont Battery to prevent small fast torpedo boats from slipping under the larger guns of the upper and lower batteries.

During the Second World War, the old 12-pounders were replaced with twin-barrelled 6-pounder guns with a much higher rate of fire.

Lower Battery

 

Fort Rodd Hill was built in the 1890's as a coastal defense fort, especially to protect Esquimalt Naval Base on Vancouver Island. Today it is operated by Parks Canada.

Fisgard Lighthouse

 

Named a national historic site in 1960, a century after first showing its light, Fisgard is still a working lighthouse - although the last keeper rowed away in 1929. Fisgard was an early expression of government sovereignty on what would become Canada's west coast.

 

Generations of mariners - British and Canadian, naval and merchant - have relied on Fisgard as a landmark to find Esquimalt harbour's narrow entrance. With Race Rocks light, FIsgard marks the safe anchorage of Royal Roads, and also points the way to Victoria harbour for merchant ships.
