On 14 November 1980 the first stage of the underground loop project, incorporating Museum Station and the loops serving the Caulfield-Sandringham and the Burnley Groups of lines, was transferred to the Victorian Railways Board for operation. The transfer was announced by His Excellency the Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Winneke, to a widely representative parliamentary and citizen group at a handing-over ceremony on Museum Station. The running of test trains around the Loop commenced on 4 December 1980, followed by a period of train crew familiarisation. The official inauguration of train operation took place on 24 January 1981 and regular passenger services commenced on 26 January-Australia Day. Within a short period up to 300 passenger trains daily were traversing the Loop with approximately 30,000 passengers passing through the ticket barriers of Museum Station. The Authority continued with the rema1ning sect1ons of the construction program including Parliament and Flagstaff underground stations, the Clifton Hill loop/City Circle and the North Melbourne loop. Completion Schedule The first stage of the computerised train describer system being installed in the Metropolitan Train Control Centre (METROU, in co-operation with VicRail, is expected to be operational during the first quarter of 1982, followed by the transfer to VicRail of the third loop-for the lines which pass through Clition Hill and Jolimont. and the connecting tunnel and ramp which complete the City Circle. The west booking hall of Museum Station is planned to be operational in the second quarter of 1982, followed by the south booking hall of Parliament Station in the third quarter. Flagstaff Station and the north booking hall of Parliament Station are planned to be transferred to VicRail during the first quarter of 1983, and the remaining loop for the lines through North Melbourne is planned to be transferred by mid 1983.

  • The Hon. Linda Dessau AC Government House Melbourne Victoria 3004 Australia
    GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA A MESSAGE FROM HER EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA THE HON LINDA DESSAU AC The start to 2020 has certainly been a difficultone, with the bushfiresthat caused so much destruction in parts of our State, and now COVID-19. Our thoughts are with those in areas still grappling with rebuilding and recovery from the fires. And, indeed, with everyone, as we all now try to cope with this health challenge and its far-reachingeffects. We know that in recent months, as in the past, Victorians have demonstrated their resilience and their generosity in response to the bushfirecrisis. Now, more than ever, we need to pull together, to follow the advice and rules set by the experts, to be calm and clear-headed and to be mindful of each other's safety and needs. As our opportunities for workplace and social contact diminish, each one of us will feel the effectsin different ways. To greater or lesser extents, we might all feel some sense of dislocation. I encourage you to check on family, neighbours, the elderly, workmates and anyone who might be alone or doing it tough. Physical distance need not mean social isolation. Let's keep working on creative ways to keep in touch with each other. My husband, Tony, joins me in these thoughts and in particular in expressing our gratitude to the many Victorians working on the frontline - not only our medical and emergency workers but all those working to care for the vulnerable, to look after our children, to keep essential services running and to respond to this unfolding situation.

  • Melbourne Club Members and Daughters Dinner
    MELBOURNE CLUB MEMBERS AND DAUGHTERS DINNER Friday 2nd August 2019 Mr Richard Balderstone, Vice President, Melbourne Club Members Daughters, Grand Daughters, God Daughters, Step-Daughters, Daughters-in-Law and Nieces First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. A few months ago, I asked a friend, a member of this Club, if he could tell me a little about the history of the Club, as I was preparing to say a few words for this evening’s dinner. I did not understand just how much he would warm to the task, until he delivered to my door, your Club History. That is, what I thought was your Club History. As I blanched under the weight of it, I realised that this was not your Club History as such – at least, not your full Club History. It dealt only with the period 1838 to 1918! Although I could barely lift it, it still had 101 years left to go, just to reach current times! So, please don’t test me on its finer details: I may not have digested every word of it. I did read enough though, to be struck by the Club’s long history, and how it runs parallel with so much of what has occurred across that time in our State. 1 That makes me observe that, similarly, the history of my role runs alongside the last 180 years of what has happened right here and across what later became known as Victoria.

  • The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria to Deliver Lecture on Sport and the Arts at State Library Victoria
    20 January 2016 The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria to deliver lecture on sport and the arts at State Library Victoria The Honourable Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria will deliver this year’s first Big Ideas under the dome lecture – “Sport and the arts: From Ablett (Jnr) to Caravaggio” - at State Library Victoria on Wednesday 17 February. “It’s a paradox that when we live in a State that loves both sport and the arts, so many people seem to show discomfort in saying that they love them both. There is frequently an abyss of misunderstanding between two distinct camps: those who are devoted to sport, and those who love the arts. The real argument should be about why sport really matters and why the arts really matter and why both really matter” The Hon. Linda Dessau AM Governor of Victoria Governor Dessau is Victoria’s 29th Governor and the first female in the role. Her Excellency was previously a Judge of the Family Court of Australia and immediately before her appointment as Governor, she was President of the Melbourne Festival, Chair of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Victorian Regional Committee and a national Board member of the Trust, a Commissioner of the Australian Football League, a Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria, a Board member and former Chair of AFL Sportsready and Artsready, a Board member of the Unicorn Foundation, and a Patron of Sports Connect. Big Ideas under the dome is a thought-provoking lecture series that features great minds in the arts, culture, social justice, science and leadership as they discuss, debate and reflect on the big ideas and issues of our time.

Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES. No. 134. Government House, Melbourne, 4th October 1876. My LORD, I have the honor to report, for your Lordship's information, that the new Government House at Melbourne has now been completed, with the exception of some internal decorations, and that it has been occupied by my family. 2. This is by far the largest Government House in any colony; indeed it is (as I am informed) twice as large as the residence of t,he Lord Lieutenant at Dublin. It is of Italian architecture; is erected on a commanding site, about one mile from the centre of the city of Melbourne; is surrounded by extensive terraces, gardens; and lawns; and is adjacent to the beautiful Botanic Gardens, which are maintained with a liberal annual outlay by the Government of Victoria. I annex photographs showing the appearance of the house from several points of view; also the sketch of the ball-room, published in one of the illustrated newspapers of Victoria, on the occasion of the annual ball given by me in celebration of the Queen's birthday. The accommodation is so good that there was no crowding, although nearly fourteen hundred (1,400) persons were present. The toast of Her Majesty's health, proposed by me at the supper, was received with great enthusiasm. 3. The Colonial Architect (Mr.
