Leighton Battery 5.25 inch gun emplacements
In 1944, the decision was made to replace the Leighton, South Fremantle and Point Peron batteries with 5.25-inch naval coastal artillery/anti-aircraft guns .
At Leighton, work commenced in May 1945 and the three gun battery was completed late 1947 and proof firing was carried in November that year. The guns remained in place until scrapped in 1963. Currently only one emplacement is accessible.
Although 5.25 inch dual purpose guns were planned for the defence of every major port in Australia, the Leighton Battery was the only one which actually became operational.
South Fremantle 5.25 inch emplacement
The installation of these guns at South Fremantle was limited to this one emplacement originally encased in earth but the installation was never completed
Point Peron battery
Point Peron battery conversion never commenced at all.
All up, eight such batteries were planned in Australia.

Spain’s largest railway station, Madrid Atocha, has a surprise nestled at its heart: a 43,055 square foot (4,000sqm) botanical garden. Built in 1851, the station was remodelled in the 1980s to make way for high-speed trains. The old railway terminal was replaced with a sleek shopping area, centred around an indoor jungle. Over 100 species of plants from the Americas, Asia and Australia make up this lush interior; some of the palms nearly touch the 88 feet (27m) high ceiling.
Madrid Atocha (Spanish: Estación de Madrid Atocha), also named Madrid Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes, is the oldest major railway station in Madrid. It is the largest station serving commuter trains (Cercanías), regional trains from the south and southeast, intercity trains from Navarre, Cádiz and Huelva (Andalusia) and La Rioja, and the AVE high speed trains from Girona, Tarragona and Barcelona (Catalonia), Huesca and Zaragoza (Aragon), Sevilla, Córdoba, Málaga and Granada (Andalusia), Valencia, Castellón and Alicante (Levante Region). These train services are run by Spain's national rail company, Renfe. As of 2019, the station has daily service to Marseille, France.
Overview
The station is in the Atocha neighbourhood of the district of Arganzuela. The original façade faces Plaza del Emperador Carlos V, a site at which a variety of streets converge, including the Calle de Atocha, Paseo del Prado, Paseo de la Infanta Isabel, Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, Calle de Méndez Álvaro, Paseo de las Delicias, Paseo de Santa María de la Cabeza, and Ronda de Atocha.
Atocha station is a railway complex, formed by the Madrid Atocha Cercanías and Madrid Puerta de Atocha stations of Spain's national railways and a station of the Madrid underground called Atocha-RENFE. RENFE is the state-owned company which operates freight and passenger trains since 1941.
History:
At this site, Madrid's first railway station was inaugurated on 9 February 1851 under the name Estación de Mediodía (Atocha-Mediodía is now the name of an area of the Arganzuela district, and means south in old Spanish).
After the building was largely destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt by the MZA railway company and reopened in 1892. The architect for the replacement, in a wrought iron renewal style was Alberto de Palacio Elissagne, who collaborated with Gustave Eiffel. Engineer Henry Saint James also took part in the project. The name Atocha has become attached to the station because of the nearby basilica dedicated to Our Lady of Atocha. The train platforms were partly covered by a roof in the form of inverted hull with a height of approximately 27 meters and length of 157 meters. The steel and glass roof spreads between two brick flanking buildings.
This complex of railway tracks expanded through the years. In 1985, a project of complete remodelling began, based on designs by Rafael Moneo. In 1992, the original building was taken out of service as a terminal, and converted into a concourse with shops, cafés, and a nightclub. Like the Orsay Museum in Paris, the concourse has been given a new function, that being in the case of Atocha a stunning 4,000 m2 (43,056 sq ft) covered tropical garden.
A modern terminal was also designed by Moneo, and built in adjacent land to serve both the new High Speed trains, regional and local commuter lines. The main lines end in the new terminal; regional and commuter train platforms are located underground, at the ingress to a rail tunnel extending northward under the Paseo de la Castellana. The station is served by two Madrid Metro stations, Estación del Arte (located near the Museo Reina Sofía) and the Atocha Renfe metro station. The latter was added when the new terminal building was constructed and is directly linked to the railway station, providing access to Line 1. A connection to Line 11 will be constructed in the first half of the 2020s, with work scheduled to begin in November 2022 for completion by the end of 2026.
2004 Madrid train bombings:
On 11 March 2004, packed arriving commuter trains were bombed in a series of coordinated attacks, killing 193 people and wounding 1,800. The official investigation by the Spanish Judiciary determined the attacks were directed by a Islamist terrorist cell.
Memorials to the 2004 attack:
On 10 June 2004, a somber and minimalist Atocha station memorial was dedicated to the victims of the attacks. The monument includes a virtual shrine. Visitors to the attacked stations can leave a hand silhouette and a message through special-purpose consoles. A second monument to this event, known as 11-M in Spain, is the Bosque del Recuerdo (Forest of Remembrance) in the Parque del Buen Retiro near Atocha. This monument is made up of 192 olive and cypress trees, one for each person who died on that day, with a tree also planted in remembrance of the police officer, who died on 3 April 2004. He died as a result of a suicide bomb during the attempt to capture a number of the perpetrators, four of whom were killed by the bomb. Initially inaugurated as the Bosque de los Ausentes (Forest of the Departed) the site was renamed on the first anniversary of the devastating attack. The forest is surrounded by a stream, with water as a symbol of life.

Green groups increase pressure on Gillard to replace Hazelwood
Monday, 12 July 2010
Ahead of the Federal cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Victorian climate and environment groups are calling on Prime Minister Gillard to cooperate with the Brumby Government to completely replace Hazelwood power station with clean energy.
It was reported on Saturday that the State government is considering a partial closure of the out-dated coal fired power station by 2014.
"It ‘s encouraging that the state government recognises the need to act on Hazelwood. There is a crucial opportunity this week for the Gillard Government to get on board and help fund a full buy-out of Australia's dirtiest power station,” said Environment Victoria CEO Kelly O’Shanassy.
"Right now, Julia Gillard doesn't have a climate policy. Replacing all of Hazelwood with clean energy will cut Australia’s emissions by almost three percent, and should be top of her climate list at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday," said Climate Action Centre spokesman Damien Lawson.
This is (was) my first camera. My wife bought it for me over twenty years ago. I found it very difficult to use at the time - I wish I had known then what I know now! A little dusty but it gave me great pleasure just holding it.

Buses replace trains for the 20 miles of route between Three Bridges and Brighton. This is for engineering works but are they really working on the entire 20 mile stretch of track and if not, what aren't the trains running apart from where they are actually working?
This replaces an earlier image of the same mural. I used to work in a building just out of frame off to the right. I think this site was vacant the entire 18 years I was there and certainly the 8 years since I left. Apart, that is, from a brief few months when building works produced the walls for a maze of small cubicles which were torn down before the building progressed any further. Now, what industry requires small cubicles we all wondered?? The footprints of the walls are still visible on the concrete slab. When this mural by artist Mimby Jones Robinson appeared a few years ago I was not overly impressed ('not my style' I thought) but it has grown on me - a striking figure and strong colours in an otherwise bleak location.

The new ring road bridge type that was installed after the 1996 flood. Meant to be cheap, easy to replace, and efficient, these bridges were built to withstand only a smaller flood. This was taken in the front seat of the bus through the front window. You can read the name of our bus company on the back of the card in the bottom right. My favorite parts of this picture are definitely the crack in the window and the puffin look outwards.
