The Bendigo Gas Works are one of around three remaining intact 19th century gas works in the world, and the only one in Australia. It is on the Victorian Heritage Register and regarded by Institution of Engineers Australia as an internationally significant example of an entire provincial gasworks The Bendigo Gasworks operated from 1860 until 1973 when natural gas was introduced and remain as they were at the time of closure; a treasure of industrial heritage frozen in time. It is an internationally significant example of an entire provincial gasworks. It has the only horizontal gas-producing retorts in Australia. Coal Gas was manufactured here from 1860 and operated continuously until the introduction of natural gas in 1973. The works were operated by the Bendigo Gas Company until purchased by the Gas and Fuel Corporation in 1958 at which time they were supplying 3,500 consumers. During the Second World War the works were expanded by the Ministry of Munitions to serve the Bendigo Ordinance Factory. The original works were constructed during 1859-1860 under the direction of engineer Alexander Kennedy Smith (1824 - 1881) and developed in a period of growth by W. A. Simco, General Manager 1922-1939.

Since the establishment of the School of Mines Ballarat (SMB) in 1870, Federation University Australia has emerged in multiple forms, and under multiple names, to educate generations of engineers, nurses, and teachers – and in more recent years, games designers, sports and exercise scientists, craft beer brewers, and other professional occupations inconceivable to the University’s founders in the late 19th century. Today, our footprint stretches around the world, thanks to key partnerships established domestically, and with institutions in China, Malaysia, and India. But the story starts with a meeting of the Ballarat Mining Board, in 1869, and a pressing need for innovation.A number of screen backgrounds used during 2020, the 150th anniversary of the Ballarat School of Mines. The anniversary took place in the middle of lockdowns associated with Covid19, making screen backgrounds important.non-fictionfederation university, anniversary, sesquicentenary, 150th anniversary, covid19

This album was compiled by Florence M. Taylor who was the first women in Australia to be an architect, structural and civil engineer, town planner, and publisher. Florence was born in 1879 and died in 1969. Wikipedia: Florence Mary Taylor CBE (née Parsons; 29 December 1879 – 13 February 1969) was the first qualified female architect in Australia.[1] She was also the first woman in Australia to fly in a heavier-than-air craft in 1909[2] and the first female member of the UK's Institution of Structural Engineers in 1926.[3] However, she is best known for her role as publisher, editor and writer for the influential building industry trade journals established in 1907 with her husband George, which she ran and expanded after his death in 1928 until her retirement in 1961.[4] All photographs in this Album are attributed to J H Harvey (b1855, d1938), who was a well-known photographer, land surveyor and engineer. This album is significant because it contains photographs of East Gippsland, from Orbost to the NSW border. All photos were taken by J H Harvey in the early 20th century, and collected into this Album by Florence M Taylor who was Australia's first woman to be qualified as an architect and engineer. A grey covered album with gold lettering on the front and tied with cord along the spine. 8 pages with b/w photos. Some photos have been cut from the Album.
