[Victoria Government Gazette No. G39 12 October 1988 p.3092] Transferred to the Victorian Heritage Register 23 May 1998 (2 years after the proclamation of the Heritage Act 1995 pursuant to the transitional provisions of the Act) Statement of Significance: South Channel Fort, constructed between 1879 and 1888, was designed by Colonel Peter Scratchley of the Royal Engineers using the 'Twydall Redoubt' principles of sand parapets to be the key fort in the network of the outer defences of Port Phillip protecting it from anticipated naval attacks in the late nineteenth century. The fort was intended to play a key role in holding enemy ships in a triangle of fire between Queenscliff, Point Nepean (or Point Franklin) and its own guns; and to lay, control and test the minefield in the South Channel. 1 The fort is an artificial island built up on 14,000 tonnes of bluestone boulders and concrete with sand overburden. It is 121.9 metres long, 76.2 metres wide and 6.4 metres high above sea level. The fortifications comprise a concrete and red-gum military dugout bunker system which is mainly underground with some areas breaking the surface as gun emplacements facing south and as a service yard facing north.

  • Popular Rhymes of Scotland : Original Poems
    POPULAR EHYMES OF SCOTLAND. RHYMES ON PLACES. Natural objects of a conspicuous kind, as mountains and rivers, attract the attention of the rudest people, and pro- bably are the lirst which receive names in the infancy of a newly-settled country. There is a disposition in Scotland, and probably in other countries, to work up the names of such objects in verse, sometimes with associated circum- stances, but often with little besides a bare enumeration or list. Thus arises a large class of what may be called Topo- graphical Rhymes. In some instances the ideas introduced are of a striking- and poetical nature ; and it is worthy of remark, that, even where the names alone are given in the versified list, there is usually a euphony in the structure of the verse, which makes it tell on the simple ear like a strain of one of our pastoral melodies. In other instances, these rhymes are curious on account of the grotesque words which they introduce to notice. It would almost appear as if the composers of such verses had addressed themselves on some occasions to select a set of the most whimsical names of places and men in their vicinity, for the amuse- ment of strangers. Another section of our topographical rhymes contain allusions to events of a public or private nature, or pre- dictions of events expected yet to come. Others relate to things for which the places were remarkable. ' ! — —— — POPULAR RHYMES OF SCOTLAND. BERWICKSHIRE.
