ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF ^hc ^presibeitt, M r . R. L. J. E l l e r y , F.R.S., F.R.A.S., Government Astronomer. (Delivered to the Members of the Royal Society of Victoria, at their Annual Conversazione, held August 23rd, 1880.) G e n t l e m e n o f t h e R o y a l S o c ie t y , When we last met at a similar gathering to the present, I told you that the council was taking steps to carry out certain alterations within this building, with the view of affording more room, as well as of otherwise improving this part of the house. These alterations, as you may now see, have been completed, and we have, besides this well- proportioned lecture-room, a lai'ge additional room beneath, which adds very considerably and conveniently to the house accommodation. Moreover, the rooms generally have been renovated, and above all the exterior of the building, which has for so long a time presented a somewhat shabby and dilapidated appearance, has been thoroughly repaired, and finished with stucco in a plain and substantial style. I am glad to tell you that although this undertaking has trenched heavily on our exchequer, and will hypothecate a part of our next year’s income, it will not leave us in any serious debt. The Society entered on its twenty-third season in March, last, and it gives me pleasure to inform you that it is pro­ xii President’s Address gressing steadily, and getting gradually stronger from year to year, not only in numbers, but in the acquisition of new and energetic working members, who have taken up investi­ gation and research in some of the various by-ways of know­ ledge which fall within its scope. Our ordinary meetings have, on the whole, been better attended during the last year than heretofore, and there has been no lack of new and interesting matter to occupy attention and excite discussion on each occasion. Our printed transactions, now so promptly placed in the hands of our members, give the best evidence of the Society’s vitality. Some of the sections for which our rules provide have been formed, and have held their meeting regularly each month; Section A, which embraces mathematics, astronomy, physical geography, and engineering, has, I think, been the busiest one. Another section, combining the subjects classified in our rules under sections, B, C, and D—viz., chemistry, mineralogy, natural history, geology, and microscopy—has also been formed, and commenced its meetings some few months ago. The new rule enabling the Society to admit associates at a smaller subscription than members, and to which I referred in my last address, has continued to work very satisfactorily, and we have now no less than twenty-five who have entered the Society under this rule. We con­ tinue to increase our friendly relations with kindred societies abroad, by interchange of transactions and publi­ cations and in other ways; and, of course, our valuable and, as far as Australia is concerned, somewhat unique library grows in proportion. In October last the council made a change with regard to the paid assistants of the Society. The hallkeeper was relieved of all clerical work, and the services of an assistant-secretary and librarian were obtained, and the result so far is that the house and grounds are kept in much better order, and the library and clerical duties are more methodically and satisfactorily performed than under the former arrangements. I think I have now for the year 1880. xiii referred to all the principal facts in connection with the past year’s domestic history of the Society, and I propose now to crave your patience for a few minutes while,.in accordance with my usual custom on these occasions, I briefly review the year’s work of our national art and science institutions. While our Observatory, over which I have the honour to preside, has been fully occupied with its usual continuous work, but few matters of more than ordinary interest have occurred to claim its special attention since my last address. The comet of February broke the monotony of the routine work, but the hazy horizon so prevalent during the evenings of that month completely hindered satisfactory observation in the early part of its apparition, when it set soon after the sun; and afterwards, when measurements could be made, it increased its distance from us so rapidly that only a very incomplete series of measures could be secured. As there is rather more interest than usual attaching to this comet, I shall refer to it again presently. In anticipation of the next'Transit of Venus in 1882, the Astronomer Royal, Sir George Airy, has brought promin­ ently under the notice of the scientific world in the old country the great desirability of determining telegraphically the longitude of Melbourne, or some one of the Australian cities connected with it by telegraph. I am now in com­ munication with the president of the Royal Society in London on the subject. I am also in correspondence with the hydrographic office at Washington on the same matter, for the Americans propose to connect J&pah, China, and probably Australia, with America by a chain of telegraphic determi­ nations of longitude. It is, therefore, quite probable that before very long the longitude of our Observatoryfrom Green- which will be determined by the most accurate method we know of—namely, by the interchange of telegraphic signals.

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

  • Geelong to Ballarat Railway
    1 Engineers Australia Engineering Heritage Victoria Nomination for Recognition under the Engineering Heritage Australia Heritage Recognition Program for the Goldfields Railways - Geelong to Ballarat Railway January 2012 Goldfields Railway - Geelong to Ballarat Railway Nomination for Engineering Heritage Recognition 2 CAPTION FOR COVER PHOTOGRAPH The magnificent Victorian Era train shed at Geelong Railway Station. This train shed is reminiscent of the train sheds built on British railways during the same era. Only two other railway stations in Victoria had a train shed during this era - that was Ballarat at the other end of the Geelong to Ballarat Railway and St Kilda in suburban Melbourne. Fortunately both train sheds on the Geelong to Ballarat Railway survive and remain with their original function after 150 years. Originally there were 4 tracks between the platforms but the through tracks have now been removed. Note: The term “train shed” has been used here as it is the generic term used for a building which covers and protects platforms and tracks during the era when these structures were built. The terms goods shed, engine shed and carriage shed were used during the same era to describe other buildings at railway stations which contained railway tracks. Goldfields Railway - Geelong to Ballarat Railway Nomination for Engineering Heritage Recognition 3 1 INTRODUCTION The Extent of the Nomination In the preparation of this nomination considerable discussion occurred as to the boundaries of the nomination. The two Goldfield Railways (Melbourne to Bendigo and Geelong to Ballarat) were commenced at the same time and were built to similar design standards. Consideration was given by Engineering Heritage Victoria to making a nomination for the two railways together as there is such synergy in timing, design, construction and purpose of the two projects.

  • A Biography of George William Knight
    Of Railways, Wine and Flowers: A Biography of George William Knight Robyn Hunter Bachelor of Arts (La Trobe University), Graduate Diploma of Education (La Trobe University), Master of Education Studies (Federation University) This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education and the Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria, 3353, Australia Submitted for examination 1 May 2018 Abstract The title page photograph1 has been used for many decades as the quintessential representation of George William Knight (1832–1923), railway engineer, viticulturist, horticulturist and Bendigo Council’s building surveyor and city surveyor. He is cursorily remembered by railway, viticultural and horticultural historians and enthusiasts. However, he remained unknown by some of his descendants, including me. Yet, his contribution deserves to be recognised. Knight is representative of English, middle-class, liberal young men who flocked to Australia in the 1850s, but who did not obtain high political office or financial success. This study uses a biographical approach to explore his role in building Victoria. It examines his conflict with Bendigo councillors who could not abide his forthright stance or his refusal to acquiesce to their whims, a conflict that exploded into a vicious battle that Knight lost. Unshackled from council, he expended his huge intellectual and physical energy developing nurseries and vineyards. Yet, these battles with council are remembered, and Knight’s reputation has suffered because of them. This thesis examines misunderstandings surrounding class and reveals Knight to have been a member of the petty bourgeoisie—aspirational, yet understanding and empathetic towards working people.

It was completed in October 1860, two years before the opening of the Melbourne to Bendigo Railway in October 1862. The train is a V/Line class N diesel-electric locomotive hauling an N type carriage set on its way south to Melbourne. The white concrete structure in the lower right hand corner of the photograph is the aqueduct from Malmsbury Reservoir to Bendigo which passes under the viaduct beside the Coliban River. It should be noted that the viaduct now carries only a single Irish Broad Gauge (5’3”) track although it carried two tracks for most of its life. This image was taken from the Malmsbury Botanic Gardens, downstream from the viaduct, probably in 2007 or 2008.

  • The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne's Outer Circle Railway
    The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne’s Outer Circle Railway Trevor McKenna, B.A. Dip. Ed. This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (By Research) Faculty of Education and the Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria, 3353 Australia Submitted for re-examination 7 December, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines a little known railway line in Melbourne, the Outer Circle Railway (OCR) running from Oakleigh in the south-east to Fairfield in the north. There is great significance to its east-north trajectory, because I will argue, it was conceptualised as a major part of the Melbourne system, for the future; a future that ostensibly lasted only two years, before the economic depression of the 1890s caused it to close in stages. It further brought in many more strands to the Melbourne transport nexus, as it circumnavigated the inner suburbs. I ask the key question ‘was the Outer Circle Railway a lost opportunity’? Though considered one of the great public transport cities of the world, Melbourne with its extensive rail and tramway networks succumbed to the winds of change, embodied by the Fordist principles of private car ownership, freeway building and traffic systems. The public transport budget was cut in the second half of the twentieth century – leaving Greater Melbourne in constant gridlock, in the twenty-first century. I use documentary analysis to examine primary and secondary documents, to comprehend whether the almost immediate denigration of the OCR, by newspapers and most historians, was warranted.
