Well بكر is disputedly of Arabic origin. And yes, ديار is originally Arabic, but the fact of the matter is that the phrase travelled from Persia into Ottoman Turkey. The existence of the ezafe '-e' marks that the entire phrase must have come from Farsi, and the only reason the ezafe existed in the Ottoman Turkish Language was because it was borrowed from Farsi (it is not seen in other Altaic languages). Therefore, 'Diyaar-e Bekr' IS of Farsi origin (the phrase itself), and does not mean anything in Arabic. We can conclude, then, that the phrase is of Persian origin, though one of the words originally routes from Arabic. Cheers. -Bagrationi 9:46, 20 April 2007.

Thanks Saposcat, I just edited it, I think pretty validly. Take a look: Diyarbakir. -Bagrationi, 13:16, 20 April 2007

Cihanda Sulh
Would you be able to render Cihanda Sulh for me using the Ottoman Turkish alphabet? A friend of mine recently moved into a flat, in a building with the name Cihan Apartmanı, and I'd like to give him a calligraphic rendering of Cihanda Sulh to hang on the (still bare) walls. I think Cihan is جهان, but is Cihanda Sulh then جهاﻨﺪ صلح? Although not as embarassing as for a tattoo, it would be painful to go through the effort of creating nice calligraphy, only to find out the slogan contains a spelling error. --Lambiam 21:45, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Commas
If the division of the tone the picture below intends to show is the division of the tone into nine Holdrian commas (resp. an approximate division into nine Pythagorean commas)

then there are three mistakes in the picture as far as the use of the Western flat and sharp symbols are concerned.

Indeed contrary to what the picture shows the D♭ ("Ré bémol") is not equal to C♯ ("Do dièze") but is one comma flatter than the C♯ because in the Holdrian temperament (resp. in Pythagorean tuning) the chromatic semitone has (resp. has roughly) five commas whereas the diatonic semitone has (resp. has roughly) four commas. For the same reasons the D𝄫 can't be equal to C but is (resp. is roughly) one comma flatter and the C can't be equal to D but is (resp. is roughly) one comma sharper.

Rippleside, Victoria

Rippleside is a suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The suburb overlooks Corio Bay. At the, Rippleside had a population of 875.

Rippleside adjoins Drumcondra, 2.5 km north of Geelong City on Corio Bay. The locality covers the suburban area bounded by Corio Bay, East Victoria Street (the Western section is a part of North Geelong and separated by a pedestrian underpass), Melbourne Road and Rippleside Park.

Rippleside Park is a much sought-after location in Geelong; many of the properties located in the area represent the Victorian history that the area has experienced throughout its life. The area is known for its lucrative, and therefore expensive location.

For local residents, the suburb is within 2 km of the North Geelong Railway Station and bus routes connected to Geelong City.

History
Geelong's early settlers were attracted to the area which is now Rippleside because of its convenience, being close to the Melbourne-Geelong Road which runs to the west of Rippleside Park. By 1854, after Geelong settlers had purchased lands in the area, the Rippleside Hotel and local general store were opened. The Melbourne-Geelong railway, opened in 1857, also runs on the western boundary of the suburb, and the nearby North Geelong railway station, called West Geelong in its first couple of years, was opened in 1883.

The Post Office opened on 19 May 1986, replacing the nearby North Geelong office.

The Balmoral Quay development, previously known as Rippleside Quay, is under construction and will involve the construction of over 50 luxury townhouses, a marina, and a boardwalk connecting Rippleside Beach and St Helens Park. The development will cost an estimated $80 million.

In January 2018, the newly refurbished Rippleside beach, and the latest expansion of the Bay trail between Rippleside and St Helens beaches, was opened to the public.

Rippleside Park
Rippleside Park is in the suburb of Rippleside and overlooks Corio Bay. It has a Vietnam War memorial, facing Melbourne Road.

The park is used for many Geelong events such as charity events and fun runs. The park and the adjoining beach are popular with local families and tourists because there are several picnic and barbecue areas, as well as a community-funded wooden playground.

Its large open area is popular with dog walkers and fitness groups. There is also a restaurant/café, as well as ample parking.

The adjoining beachfront is popular. Its footpath heads south towards Western Beach and Geelong's waterfront, and north to St Helens and Corio Quay.

The City Council maintains the park and its facilities.

St Helens Park
Located off Holden Avenue, off side of Victoria Street, this park and beach is also popular with locals.

Its expansive fishing pier is popular with fisherman.

The park, like Rippleside also has a great view of Geelong's skyline and the surrounds. It also has a playground, some tables and toilet facilities.

The park was established initially as a memorial to fallen Australian soldiers in various World War Two conflicts including the Malayan Campaign, Borneo Campaign and Battle of Singapore.

Gheringhap, Victoria

Gheringhap is a rural township near Geelong, Victoria, Australia, located approximately 83 km southwest of Melbourne, between Geelong and Meredith on the Midland Highway. Gheringhap is located in the Golden Plains Shire.

The town is located at the junction of the Geelong-Ballarat railway and the Western standard gauge railway which connects Melbourne and Adelaide. A webcam near the rail line, operated by rail enthusiasts, records all train movements for publication. The camera was investigated by the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics as an example of enthusiast cameras as a potential source of more reliable traffic data than records provided by operators.

Gheringhap Post Office opened on 1 April 1869 and closed in 1968. Gheringhap School opened in 1858 and closed in 1906 due to falling attendances.

Hap means place in the local native language Gheran - timber. Moolap - Mool hap.

Jacob Kautz

Jacob Kautz (also Jakob Kautz) (c. 1500 – c. 1532) was an Anabaptist who posted seven theses to the door of the Worms Cathedral in 1527. He undermined the authority of the church with accusations of idolatry. In essence, he took Martin Luther's protest to the logical conclusion that individual freedom of conscience should be enshrined in law.

The protest claimed that by baptising infants (and by indoctrinating children with church customs), the church was suppressing individual free will. Thus, church supporters were not acting on any decision of their own but merely because they were given no other choice. A soul cannot be saved by force, but only by moral persuasion that leads to a conscious decision to embrace salvation. Baptism must be willingly chosen by an adult who understands the meaning of the act.

The protest also criticized Martin Luther's reformation by claiming that the sacrifice of Jesus is not in itself sufficient atonement for sin, especially the sins of people who lived long after Christ and who had no influence on the events of the past. In other words, belief in Jesus must entail following the guidance of Christ in one's own life. Other Christians labeled this "works righteousness" and claimed that the essence of Christianity is not to be found in doing good works.

Kautz, like many Anabaptists, was a Christian universalist. The fifth of his seven theses was "All that was lost in the first Adam is and will be found more richly restored in the Second Adam, Christ; yea, in Christ shall all men be quickened and blessed forever."

Talk:Entire function

Is this article statement true or false?
The article says:
 * A function that is defined on the whole complex plane except for a set of poles is called a meromorphic function.

I thought a meromorphic function can be defined just on a subset of the complex plane, not on the whole complex plane minus some singularities. Oleg Alexandrov 06:01, 18 February 2005 (UTC)

 * You are right and the article is right. You are talking about a meromorphic function on the subset of the plane. The article is talking about a meromorphic function on the plane. Maybe the article should be more specific.  franklin   21:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Completeness of examples
Are the only entire analytic functions polynomials in both x and exp(x)? njh 02:06, 23 June 2005 (UTC)
 * No. Any function of the form

 * $$a_0 + a_1 x+ a_2 x^2 + ... $$

 * with an infinite radius of convergence is entire function. Oleg Alexandrov 02:41, 23 June 2005 (UTC)

 * An example of an entire function that is not a polynomial in $$x$$ or $$\exp(x)$$ is $$\exp(\exp(x))$$. Another is $$\exp(x^2)$$. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Properties
How would you define a function being holomorphic at ∞? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JumpDiscont (talk • contribs) 03:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Holomorphic at infinity means that it's holomorphic in 1/z. For example, the function 1/z itself. A function cannot be holomorphic everywhere including at infinity unless it is constant. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

An entire function can grow faster than any given function
Thanks, user:PMajer, for the correction in this (adding a constant). But I don't think it's really necessary to give the reader such a long explanation. And the way you did it is overkill! For instance, if $$g(x)$$ is zero for $$x\le 11$$ and then jumps to $$e$$ at 12, then your method gives $$f(11)\ge 1.1^{20}\approx e^2$$.

I would just put the following (I have changed the wording a bit):

Entire functions may grow as fast as any increasing function: for any increasing function g : [0,+∞) → [0,+∞)  there exists an entire function f(z) such that f(x) > g( |x| ) for all real x. Such a function may easily be found in the form:

 * $$f(z)=c+\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{z}{k}\right)^{n_k}$$,

for a constant c and a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers nk. Any such sum converges everywhere and thus defines an entire function, and if the exponents are chosen appropriately, the inequality f(x) > g( |x| ) also holds, for all real x. (The exponent n1 can be chosen so that this is true in the interval [2, 3], and then n2 can be chosen so as to satisfy the inequality in the interval [3, 4], and so on.) Furthermore, if g(x) and h(x) are continuous functions with $$g(x)<h(x)$$ for all real x, one can find an entire function f(x) such that $$g(x)<f(x)<h(x)$$ for all real x.

(You told me by e-mail that that last statement follows from the preceding, but it's not obvious so it would be good to give a reference -- unless you can give a very brief explanation.)

Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi, well, yes, I initially thought that too many details are not needed, but I have recently added them for you, since you seemed to be interested. Anyway, apart the triviality about the constant, I thought the initial explanation after all was clear enough. So maybe I would just go back to the previous version (without forgetting the constant c ). If I remember well The result about the order density of entire functions in the continuous is due to T.Carleman (1927; I will find the exact reference): actually I planned to add this information, as it seems  relevant enough to be included. The proof is not difficult but not trivial; a brief explanation may be nice indeed. --pm a  14:19, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Further remarks:

 * 1) overkill: Actually, here the task is just to construct an entire f above the given g, only this. The given form of f allows a quick  solution (because it is automatically an entire function, and then one can  fix the constant c  and the exponents nk so that the inequality be satisfied). BUT, of course, this form do not allow a close approximation as you are asking : for instance, such an f has all its derivatives positive on the positive half-line, which means it has in any case quite a strong growth. No way to be close to g, if e.g. g is a logarithm. So the objection about the example with $$ \scriptstyle g(11)=e$$ and $$ \scriptstyle f(11)=e^2$$ looks quite naive (if you really care about this issue, we could do better using a sharper inequality than  $$ \scriptstyle \log\bigg( 1+\frac{1}{k}\bigg)\ge \frac{1}{2k},  $$  like e.g. $$ \scriptstyle \log\bigg( 1+\frac{1}{k}\bigg)\ge \frac{1}{k+1}, $$ that would give a new exponent around half as big).

 * 2) The sentence you suggest:
 *  Furthermore, if g(x) and h(x) are continuous functions with $$g(x)<h(x)$$ for all real x, one can find an entire function f(x) such that $$g(x)<f(x)<h(x)$$ for all real x
 * is ok, but I think the stated property (Carleman's theorem) deserves more emphasis. Maybe a section of its own (e.g. about "density", after the one about "growth").

 * 3) I'll think about how to make shorter the subsequent explanation. At the moment I have cut the last passages, and left the explicit formula for c and n_k. I agree that the latter is not optimal from the point of view of getting f as smaller as possible, but it is (I think) the simpler choice , and, what matters, shows that the whole construction is really constructive. I did not like so much your  suggestion
 * ...and then n2 can be chosen so as to satisfy the inequality in the interval [3, 4], and so on,
 * because it sounds a bit misleading, in that it suggests that the choice of the nk has to be done inductively (one after the other), whereas it's somehow simpler, as each one can be fixed directly.

 * --pm a 12:28, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Nonzero zeros?
What does that mean: "zk are the non-zero roots of f"? — Sebastian 16:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It means that the $$z_k$$ are roots of $$f$$: $$f(z_k) = 0,$$ but that they are themselves nonzero numbers: $$z_k \neq 0.$$ –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the good explanation! — Sebastian 00:14, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * But you are right. Indeed, the expression "non-zero zeros" sounds delightfully nonsensical... (That's why we like it ;) ) pm a 14:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Hamlyn Heights, Victoria

Hamlyn Heights is a residential suburb of Geelong. It located to the west of the city on hills that overlook Corio Bay.

It was named after Sidney Hamlyn, a local resident in the 1940s.

At the, Hamlyn Heights had a population of 6,293.

The suburb boundaries are Church St, Ballarat Rd, Moorabool River and two unmarked boundaries extending between Church St to Moorabool River and between Moorabool River and Ballarat Rd.

Hamlyn Heights has two retail areas. A large shopping strip is located in Vines Rd. The Post Office opened here on 2 February 1959 it is known as Vines Road, Geelong. A small group of shops also exist in Fairlie St.

Hamlyn Heights was the home to international actor Guy Pearce who lived in Hamlyn Heights during the 1990s.

Education
Hamlyn Heights has two primary schools, Herne Hill Primary School & Hamlyn Banks Primary School (created in the late 1990s by a merger between Hamlyn Heights Primary School and Lovely Banks Primary School).

Hamlyn Heights has one secondary school: Western Heights Secondary College.

Drysdale, Victoria

Drysdale is a rural township near Geelong, Victoria, Australia, located on the Bellarine Peninsula. The town has an approximate population of over 3,700. Drysdale forms part of an urban area, along with nearby Clifton Springs, that had an estimated population of 13,494 at June 2016.

A popular youth music and performing arts venue, affectionately labelled 'The Potato Shed' is located in the back of Drysdale. The industrial size venue is the site of 'Battle of The Bands', a yearly music festival which has seen a number of local bands make a name for themselves in a popular setting.

Drysdale has several primary and high schools, including Saint Ignatius College, the senior campus of Bellarine Secondary College, and a campus of Christian College. The local football club is the Drysdale Hawks, who play Australian Rules Football and compete in the Bellarine Football League. The Hawks were formed in 1879 and have won 15 premiership titles, the last in 2010. The Bellarine Rail Trail also runs through the town. The local cricket club is also named the Drysdale Hawks.

History
The town is named after Anne Drysdale. She and Caroline Elizabeth Newcomb had the estate "Coriyule" which sits above the township. The area was known as McLeod's Waterholes and Bellarine. A township began to develop in the late 1840s and a Post Office (known as Bellarine until 1862) opened on 1 January 1855. From 1902 until 1951 Murrudoc Post Office to the west operated in the area also known as Murradoc. The railway reached the local railway station from South Geelong on the way to Queenscliff in 1879, and remained in Victorian Railways service until 1976. It is now the western terminus of the tourist orientated Bellarine Railway. The station lies next to Lake Lorne, an important regional site for waterbirds.

Until abolished in 1993, the Rural City of Bellarine council seat was in Drysdale.

Yanagawa Shigenobu

Yanagawa Shigenobu (柳川 重信) was a Japanese artist in the ukiyo-e style. He was active in Edo from the Bunka period onward. His Osaka period dated from 1822 to 1825. In Edo, he resided in Honjo Yanagawa-chō district. He was first the pupil, then son-in-law, and finally adopted son of the Edo master painter Katsushika Hokusai. He designed illustrated books, prints, and surimono. In Osaka, he worked with the gifted block cutter and printer Tani Seikō.

Shigenobu focused on theatrical subjects, but some of his best work in Osaka includes a series of deluxe ōban prints depicting geisha in the Shinmachi Nerimono parade in Osaka, and approximately 30 fine surimono on various subjects (at least 18 in collaboration with the Tsuru-ren Crane Group of kyōka poets), with blocks cut and printed by Seikō. His pupils included Utagawa Kuninao; Shigeharu; Yanagawa Nobusada (Yokinobu); Shigemasa; Shigemitsu.

Barwon Heads, Victoria

Barwon Heads (previously known as Point Flinders ) is a coastal township on the Bellarine Peninsula, near Geelong, Victoria, Australia. It is situated on the west bank of the mouth of the Barwon River below Lake Connewarre, while it is bounded to the west by farmland, golf courses and the saline ephemeral wetland of Murtnaghurt Lagoon. At the, Barwon Heads had a population of 3,875.

History
Barwon Heads lies within the territory of the Waddawurrung Balug clan, of the Wathaurong people. Its traditional name is Koornoo. Barwon derives from the Wathaurong word Barrwang or Baarwon meaning magpie. The river and upstream lakes (Lake Connewarre and Reedy Lake) were frequented by Aboriginal hunters and fishermen, including the escaped convict, William Buckley, who lived with the Wathaurong for 32 years.

When European settlers arrived in Port Phillip in June 1835, a camp was established at Indented Head. Port Phillip Association surveyor, John Helder Wedge, explored the Bellarine Peninsula, including the Barwon and its lakes, in August 1835.

It is unknown when colonists first took up land at Barwon Heads but, by the 1870s, a township was formed, with a Post Office opening in the area on 15 December 1889 (renamed Connewarre East in 1890 when a new Barwon Heads PO opened in the township).

Fishing was the mainstay of the town in its early years. In the 1920s and 1930s, the town became a popular holiday resort, and a number of the wealthier families of Melbourne and the Western District built houses here. The summer period still sees a large influx of holidaymakers to the town.

In 1959, the closing scenes of the film On the Beach, based on a Nevil Shute novel about the end of the world, were filmed in the town.

The Barwon Heads Golf Club clubhouse, located on Golf Links Road and dating from 1923 to 1924, is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

The former Barwon Heads Bridge was also listed on the Register, but it was demolished in 2009 after being declared irreparable. A new bridge was constructed, which used components and design elements of the original bridge. A separate footbridge was built parallel to it.

Barwon Heads Bridge

The Barwon Heads Bridge was opened in 1927, crossing the Barwon River between Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. Prior to that, there had been a rowing boat service across the river. The bridge was a central element in the ABC television series SeaChange.

In July 2006, the Victorian government shelved plans to replace the heritage-listed bridge with a new one.

A proposal was put forward to align a new bridge with Geelong Road, permitting traffic to bypass the main shopping precinct and primary school, but with the consequence of removing three homes. An independent panel was appointed by the then Minister for Planning, Rob Hulls, to decide on a bridge location. Evidence was presented for and against the Geelong Road site and the existing site, with the conclusion that the Geelong Road alignment was unsuitable for environmental, social, economic reasons.

On 16 March 2007, it was announced that the current bridge would be improved and there were no plans to build a second bridge upstream. In 2010, a new Barwon Heads road bridge was constructed on the alignment of the existing one, making use of its components and design elements. A parallel pedestrian bridge was also built.

SeaChange and tourism
During the late 1990s, Barwon Heads was the primary location of filming for the popular Australian television series, SeaChange. In the past decade Barwon Heads has become subject to what is colloquially known in some parts of Australia as the "seachange effect".

Since the SeaChange television series first aired in 1998 there has been a significant increase in tourism and real estate sales and development (both commercial and residential) in the area. This has resulted in a very substantial increase in property and land values, making the town an ideal location for property developers. Since then, the area has experienced a boom in tourist numbers during the summer months.

Nearby Thirteenth Beach is a popular surfing location, the beach is named for its proximity to the 13th hole of the golf course. The town was subject to flooding, including a flood that lasted some weeks in 1952, until the construction of levee banks in the 1950s.

The artist Jan Mitchell erected her first bollard sculptures in Barwon Heads. Visitors to the area will encounter the colourful soldier and parrot bollards which designate a route for the local children from the primary school, through the streets to the bike path, park and playground. She then went on to produce more than 100 bollards at the Waterfront Geelong.

Sport
The town has an Australian rules football team competing in the Bellarine Football League. It has made finals in a number of recent seasons, losing the grand final in an upset to Modewarre in 2018 but avenged that loss in 2019 winning its first premiership since 1993 by beating Torquay in the grand final. Barwon Heads has a cricket club which won five premierships in eight seasons (2005/06, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2010/11 and 2013/14). They defeated Queenscliff in the A grade final on Sunday March 15, 2014 by 102 runs at Jan Juc. They are currently competing in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association.

Barwon Heads also boasts a tennis, bowls, surf life saving, cycling, surfing, soccer and pony club. Golfers play at the Barwon Heads Golf Club on Golf Links Road, or at the course of the Thirteenth Beach Golf Links on Barwon Heads Road. Barwon Heads has great recreational fishing from its river to the heads, it caters for all types of anglers.

Notable people
The footballer Jaxson Barham and the entertainer Barry Crocker were born there.

Cadel Evans, the cyclist who won the 2011 Tour de France, owns a house in the area and is regularly seen training on local roads.

Talk:Jamie Kennedy

Sane?
Are the guy on the WB and the grandson of Hubbard really the same guy?--STLEric 06:06, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Father & Mother
The opening paragraph states that he's the son of Connie Chung and Maury Povich. Yet he was born in 1970, and Chung & Povich have only been married since 1984. His full name is also listed as Jaimie Harvey Kennedy, implying that that is his birth name. Does anyone have confirmation of this statement?
 * It's vandalism. Rock star  ( T/C ) 06:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Jamie Kennedy NOT Grandson of L. Ron Hubbard
Jamie Kennedy shares the name of L. Ron Hubbard's great-grandson, but is not the same guy, and this is a misnomer. The OTHER Jamie Kennedy is a spoken word performer, who has shared his personal beliefs on L.Ron and his cultish religion in his performances. The Jamie Kennedy mentioned on this page, ironically, often performs his stand-up comedy at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center, which may or may not imply that he is a Scientologist, himself.

Jamie Kennedy Poet
I removed the part refering to the church of scientology and started a new page regarding Jamie Kennedy the poet to which that event is accually attributed.

blowin up
somebody should add something about his show blowing up

Ellen Rapaport
Was she a ghostwriter or, as it says a few paragraphs down, a coauthor? Perhaps someone who knows more about Kennedy could set it straight (and reorganize/clean up the article as a whole). Colin 21:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Stub-Class?
Has anyone read the article? This seems start-class worthy at least, definitely not stub. Rock star ( T/C ) 05:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Malibu's Most Wanted
This article claims that Malibu's Most Wanted was a big success, but the page for the movie doesn't offer any proof that it was ever #1 at the box office or that it even grossed more than it cost to make (and the cost is not listed either). You'd almost think Jamie Kennedy wrote both pages himself. 68.229.184.37 20:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

TV Appearances
His page lists his filmography but doesn't seem to include his TV appearances. Should there be a new section?

Kal Penn?
"He has often appeared in movies with Kal Penn." Often? I only count two movies. I don't know if that qualifies as often. Theserialcomma (talk) 04:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Amish Guy in Sexdrive
It says in the career section that he plays the "lovable amish man" in Sex Drive, when in fact, it is Seth Green playing the amish man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.245.177 (talk) 16:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

That's correct. I just verified both the movie's official website and IMDB. I have removed the statement.Scwlong (talk) 20:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Priest in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
The Filmography in this article states that he played the priest in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. I personally don't remember him in that film (though that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't). However, both his IMDB entry as well as the entry for the film itself do not credit him in this role, which further leads me to believe that this is a mistake.

Also, if this is in fact untrue, it should be noted that the article for I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry also credits him as playing the Priest, therefore, an edit will need to be made there as well.

It wasn't him in Chuck and Larry, it was Rob Schneider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.114.18 (talk) 22:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

E3 Fallout
This article fails to mention his 2007 Activision E3 debacle or the subsequent - and prolonged - online fallout. 98.253.220.185 (talk) 19:51, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a reliable source covering this 'debacle'? If not, it can't be included. Robofish (talk) 22:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Heckler
Seems odd that there's no mention of the movie "Heckler" in here, especially considering the commentary it gives on this guy's personality. 174.19.160.31 (talk) 09:14, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

 * At second glance, it appears that this documentary IS mentioned, but like most things in this article it skips over any negative criticism. I find it quite interesting that there is no mention of the near complete consistency of box office failure and bad reviews that follow him, especially for someone so prolific. 174.19.160.31 (talk) 10:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I find it interesting that you think this article should slam this dude because you don't like him. Articles are here to detail why a person is notable, not include reviews about their movies and crap. If you're so interested in that, why don't you take the time to expand the goddamn article instead of bitching on the talk page and obsessing over someone you obviously have a distaste for. Weird that you would seek out what you don't like but I suppose it takes all kinds to make this world go round.
 * To be honest, I had never heard of this gentleman prior to watching this documentary. I became interested in what work he had done after hearing him talk about his career in the movie, and found that a lot of the things he had starred in hadn't been very well received. I was simply curious as to why, as many wikipedia articles on celebrities DO touch on this aspect of their careers, why his poor critical and box office performance hadn't been mentioned. I have neither the knowledge of Mr. Kennedy's career nor the technical knowledge of how to edit wikipedia to be comfortable in editing the article itself. From what I had gathered, situations like that are why the talk pages exist. "Bitching" and "obsessing" about how I apparently "don't like him" aside, it seems that critical and public reception to his work WOULD be notable in a biographic-style entry. 174.19.160.31 (talk) 19:49, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If you can figure out how to edit a talk page, I'm sure you can give editing an article a go. There are a billion and one resources detailing how to write an article, how to add content, finding sources, etc., so there's no excuse to expect someone else to do it. I doubt the deep analysis and critical reception of his films are missing because of some great conspiracy however. I'd say it's missing because the guy does moronic comedy movies and his career is hardly in need to great analysis or text that reads "his movies are terrible and are critically panned". It also appears that few people work on this page. There are millions of articles here so some get overlooked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.176.240 (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Bannockburn, Victoria

Bannockburn is a town near Geelong, Victoria, Australia, 88 km southwest of Melbourne. It is located in Golden Plains Shire. In the, Bannockburn had a population of 6,470.

History
The township, originally named Leigh Road, was founded in the early 1850s. It is presumed to have been named after the 14th century battle site in Scotland, and grew as a coaching stop during the 1850s and 1860s, when the main route to the Ballarat goldfields was via the port of Geelong. The railway came to the town with the opening of the Geelong-Ballarat line in 1862. The local railway station was originally called Leigh Road but the name was changed to Bannockburn in 1904. Today, only grain and freight trains use the line.

The township grew around the station and a post office, called Leigh Road Railway Station, opened on 18 May 1863. It was renamed Leigh Road in 1873, Wabdallah in 1875, and finally Bannockburn in 1892.

Bannockburn township contains notable examples of Victorian colonial architecture, such as the former Somerset Hotel (1854), now a private home, and the Bannockburn Railway Station (1863). The former Bannockburn Lock Up in  Victor Street (1860)  was relocated from Lethbridge to its present site in 1869. In the 1940s, the lock up's adjoining police station residence became a farmhouse  at a Hills Road property  in  Batesford. Both the railway station and former lock up are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

In 1942, the United States Army established the Kane Ammunition/Ordnance Depot in order to assist with their operations in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. The base, located in the triangular slice of land between Brislane Road, Harvey Road and the Western standard gauge railway line in Murgheboluc, served as a storage centre and a maintenance workshop for ordnance materials used in the war. A railway siding was also set aside for a mustard gas depository, with mustard gas also being stored at the site. The base disappeared by 1942, and whilst there are only a few elements of concrete infrastructure left, the base is immortalised by an adjacent road, known as 'Old Base Road'.

Governance
Bannockburn Road District (an early form of local government in Victoria) was established on 31 October 1862 and was redesignated as a shire on 30 June 1864. The shire absorbed Meredith Shire on 15 September 1915 and part of the shire's Steiglitz riding was transferred to Corio Shire on 31 May 1916.

On 18 May 1993 part of Bannockburn Shire was amalgamated with part of Barrabool Shire and with Bellarine Rural City, Corio Shire, Geelong City, Geelong West City, Newtown City & South Barwon City to form City of Greater Geelong local government area.

On 6 May 1994 the remainder of Bannockburn Shire, including Bannockburn itself, was amalgamated with parts of Ballan Shire, Buninyong Shire, Grenville Shire and the whole of Leigh S to form Golden Plains Shire.

Present day
At the 2016 census, the population of Bannockburn was 5,283. Ten years prior, the population was 2,486 residents. It is forecast to grow to 9,911 by 2036 With a growth rate of 1.3% per annum, Golden Plains Shire is the top ten fastest growing regional Local Government Area (LGA) in Victoria by percentage.

The nearby Bannockburn Vineyards is a 25-hectare vineyard on the Midland Highway, established in 1974 by Stuart Hooper. Grapes grown include cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, malbec, merlot, pinot noir, riesling, sauvignon blanc and shiraz.

The Golden Plains Farmers Market occurs at Bannockburn on the first Saturday of every month. The market sells produce made by local business, wineries, jam makers, plants, baked produce, and meats and vegetables included. The market also feature local musicians such as 'The Johnson trio'.

The town has a public college as well as a private primary school. The college teaches grades Prep to Year 10 (as of 2020). Bannockburn is also home to a branch of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation, which replaced the once to twice a week visit by the Geelong Regional Mobile Library Service.

The central area is populated by a number of small businesses serving the majority of the locals needs including: home hardware, Woolworths supermarket, petrol stations, Bendigo Bank, doctors' surgeries, Pathology, Dentist, hairdressers, take-away shops, pizza shops, gym, mechanics, newsagent, The Railway Hotel, pub, chemist and optometrist. The following emergency services are also located in the town: Police, CFA, SES and Ambulance.

An extensive concrete bike trail is available for those that wish to use it located throughout the town. Near its starting point is a Lions Club founded park, with play equipment. There is also a skate park located near the football ground.

Local landmarks include a bridge, some old and distinctive Gum trees, and a local wind power generator. Bannockburn is unofficially divided by the railway line, with locals using it as a landmark to guide others to certain locations.

The Bannockburn Lagoon is used for fishing, and picnic activities. It is not recommended for swimming.

Council offices, and a Family Services Centre, are located on Pope Street.

Ceres, Victoria

Ceres is a locality of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. As one of the highest points in Geelong, Ceres has a lookout which overlooks the city. In the 2016 census, Ceres had a population of 254 people.

History
The Ceres area was first settled by squatters in the late 1830s, and the lots of the Barrabool Parish were advertised in 1839, with the land being sold on 5 February 1840. There was reportedly "plenty of competition" for the Barrabool Hills lands, and the area became part of "Roslin", owned by David Fisher. The government had not provided for a settlement in the Barrabool Parish, and Fisher, after selling much of his estate in 1846, advertised a section of the remainder for sale as the new village of Ceres in March 1850. The town is presumably named after the Roman goddess of agriculture or less likely the dwarf planet or more likely the village of Ceres in Fife, Scotland since it is in an area called Roslin which is in Scotland.

The first business to open in Ceres was the Wheat Sheaf Inn in September 1850, which became a social centre for much of the Barrabool district. A second hotel, the Rising Sun, opened in 1853. The Post Office opened on 14 February 1856. In 1856, the village was reported to have the Seidel Bros. vineyard, a blacksmith's forge and quarrier, a physician, a store, a shoemaker, a post office, a butcher, a surgeon, the two hotels, and a second forge. Coal was first discovered at Ceres in 1842, and a shaft sunk in 1854, but despite much excitement economical quantities were never found. A meeting at Ceres on 10 November 1855 agreed to build a cemetery, which subsequently opened as the Barrabool Hills Cemetery (now Highton Cemetery) in modern Highton.

A Wesleyan church and school building opened at Ceres in 1865. The Wesleyan school became a common school and then the first Ceres State School (No. 15), but was closed in 1875 and merged with the then Barrabool State School (No. 50) to form a new state school (No. 1602). The new school, physically located in what is now Ceres, was initially named Barrabool, but was renamed the Ceres State School in 1890.

The Ceres Literary Association developed in 1855 and began construction of a mechanics' institute; the building was partially completed in 1859 when the organisation disbanded. The Ceres Total Abstinence society began agitating for their own hall in 1861 and completed it in 1862. Wynd suggests that it is unclear if this was merely the completion of the prior hall, or an entirely new building. The building survives today, and is now home to the Theatre of the Winged Unicorn. A third hotel, the Barrabool Inn, was built in 1861.

The village grew in population into the 1890s, but had begun its decline before this. The Wheat Sheaf Inn and the Rising Sun hotels closed in the 1870s. Most of the Wheat Sheaf Inn was demolished, apart from the dining room, which was retained as a hayshed. It was later damaged in a storm, and the stone donated to the Shire of Barrabool. The Rising Sun was demolished entirely. The Barrabool Inn operated until 1909, when its license lapsed and it became a private house; it was demolished in the twentieth century. The Ceres Post Office closed in 1962.

Ceres today
The town has grown since the beginning of the 21st century, although it remains a country atmosphere, including by keeping old gas lights along its main street (lit with electricity). A number of historical homesteads can be found in the township and surrounding hills. Many are constructed from locally hewn Barrabool sandstone.

Ceres Primary School, dating from 1875, continues to operate, and had 86 students in 2013.

The Uniting Church maintains an active congregation at their church in Wheatsheaf Street, with services held monthly in rotation with their Barrabool and Moriac churches.

The town is home to the Theatre of the Winged Unicorn, a fringe theatre group, which operates out of the former Temperance Hall.

Ceres is also home to the Barrabool Rural Fire Brigade which is located on 15 Wheatsheaf Street, Ceres.

The Barrabool Cricket Club is also based in Ceres fielding four senior men's teams in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association, a senior women's team in the Barwon Women's Cricket Competition and four junior teams in the Geelong Junior Cricket Association.

Notable people
Singer and songwriter, local Taylor Henderson, achieved fame after becoming runner-up in the 2013 season of The X Factor Australia.

50.3% of people from South Geelong are Christian, 30% stated No Religion.

History
South Geelong is one of the oldest suburbs in Geelong and it was the location of the first house ever built in Geelong. "In a letter to His Excellency Charles Joseph Latrobe, Esq., Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of Victoria, dated September 21, 1853, Mr. David Fisher writes: 'In the latter end of the year 1836 I returned to Port Phillip for the purpose of forming the different stations afterwards occupied by the Derwent Co., and pitched my tent on the south side of Geelong, on the north bank of the Barwon River, near where a bridge was afterwards built communicating with the Western District. Here I built the first home in Geelong worthy of the name; it is built of weatherboards of Van Diemen 1s Land timber, which house yet stands and is still an ornament to what is now called Barwon Terrace. In this house I had the honor of receiving His Excellency Sir Richard Bourke, who had come hither to spy out the nakedness of the land, and with his suite encamped on the banks of the Barwon next to my house. It is worthy of remark that on the night of Sir Richard Bourke's arrival the district was visited by an earthquake, the shock of which was felt all over the district. Such a phenomenon has never occurred since that time, but I was informed by a very old native, King Murradock, that such had been felt before, but it was 'long, long ago.' In the month of September (1837), having finished my home and got all things comfortable for the occupation of my family, I proceeded to Van Diemen's Land to bring them over, taking my passage by the James Watt, the first steam vessel that visited these shores. In the month of March following (1838) I returned with my family.'"

Sydney Heritage Fleet

Sydney Heritage Fleet, is the trading name of Sydney Maritime Museum Ltd., a public company in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The Fleet restores and operates a number of historic vessels including the barque James Craig. In 2003 the World Ship Trust awarded James Craig its prestigious Maritime Heritage Award.

The offices, model workshop, some displayed boats, and the library are on Wharf 7 located in Darling Harbour. The James Craig is alongside the wharf. The fleet's shipyard is in Rozelle Bay.

History

The Lady Hopetoun and Port Jackson Marine Steam Museum was the forerunner of the Sydney Heritage Fleet. In 1965 a group of enthusiasts under Warwick Turner formed the museum to preserve Sydney's 1902 VIP steam yacht Lady Hopetoun. The organisation later became known as the Sydney Maritime Museum Ltd. In 1998 the museum adopted the trading name Sydney Heritage Fleet, except for two years (2003/4) when 'Australian Heritage Fleet' was used. The Fleet now comprises 10 historic vessels which is amongst the largest collections of its type in the world.

On Sunday 18th February 2024 James Craig celebrated 150 years since launch, escorted by a flotilla of historic vessels from the Sydney Heritage Fleet including the flagship, Lady Hopetoun.

Organisation
The Sydney Heritage Fleet is supported by a membership of 1,200, with over 15 paid workers and 200 volunteer workers who restore, operate and maintain the fleet and preserve traditional maritime methods and skills. In addition to the 10 primary vessels being operated or restored, the Fleet also has 55 small heritage boats and a significant collection of marine engines under restoration, as well as a collection of over fifty model ships. A comprehensive research library and archive which includes photographs, ships' plans, diaries, logs and journals is also maintained.

Funding is through donations, membership subscriptions and income from vessel charters and tours.

James Craig
James Craig is a three-masted, iron-hulled barque. Built in 1874 in Sunderland, England, by Bartram, Haswell, & Co., she was originally named Clan Macleod. She was employed carrying cargo around the world, and rounded Cape Horn 23 times in 26 years. In 1900 she was acquired by Mr J J Craig, renamed James Craig in 1905, and operated between New Zealand and Australia until 1911.

Waratah
Waratah is a coal fired tug and was launched at Cockatoo Island Dockyard, Sydney on 22 May 1902. Originally named Burunda, she was used to tow dredges and barges between the various ports along the NSW coast.

Lady Hopetoun
Lady Hopetoun is a 1902 VIP steam launch named after the Governor General of Australia's wife - the then Lady Hopetoun. She was built in the W. M. Ford yard at Berrys Bay, Sydney and launched on the tenth of April.

Boomerang
The 1903 schooner Boomerang was launched as the Bona on 24 September; it was designed by the noted Sydney naval architect Walter Reeks

Protex a 1908 inner-harbour motor launch

Harman a 1947 ex Royal Australian Navy harbour workboat/passenger motor boat

Berrima a 1954 Botany Bay workboat/passenger motor boat

Bronzewing, 1968 and Currawong, 1969, are Bronzewing-class harbour tugs (on loan from the Royal Australian Navy). They are used to berth and un-berth James Craig or to relocate the steam ships when not under steam.

John Oxley
John Oxley is a steamship that previously served as a pilot boat and buoy tender. The ship was built in Scotland in 1927 for the Queensland state government.

John Oxley underwent extensive work in re-plating the hull whilst atop the floating dock that had been previously used to restore James Craig, In April 2022 she was refloated and Sydney Ferry Kanangra took her place on the floating dock.

Kanangra
Kanangra is a 1912 Sydney ferry, with a steel hull and wooden superstructure. She is currently undergoing restoration at the SHF shipyard in Rozelle.

Portarlington, Victoria

Portarlington is a historic coastal township located on the Bellarine Peninsula, 28 km from the city of Geelong, in the state of Victoria, Australia. It has a diverse population which includes a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, a high proportion of retirees, and a large seasonal holiday influx. The gently rising hills behind the town feature vineyards and olive groves, and offer spectacular panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay. Portarlington is a popular family holiday destination and a centre of fishing and aquaculture (mussels). At one time the town claimed the largest Caravan Park in the Southern Hemisphere, although the size has reduced considerably in recent decades. With direct ferry links to the city of Melbourne Portarlington also serves as a gateway to the historic towns and surf beaches of the Bellarine Peninsula.

Early Inhabitants
The area around Portarlington was originally inhabited by the aboriginal Wathaurung people. Aboriginal shell middens can be found along the cliff-line at Portarlington. Mussels are the dominant shell species in evidence, demonstrating the importance of mussels to the area, even in prehistoric times. A ground-edged stone axe has been found at Portarlington. A stone artifact scatter also existed at a nearby site, but has been destroyed by development. Another stone artifact scatter has been identified at Point Richards, in the west of the town.

European discovery and exploration
The Port Phillip area was first significantly explored by Europeans in January 1802, when Lieutenant John Murray spent three weeks investigating the Bay entrance. He does not appear to have landed at Portarlington. Ten weeks later, the English explorer, Matthew Flinders, camped at Indented Head, 6 km to the south-east of Portarlington, where he traded with Aboriginal inhabitants while undertaking a survey of the Australian coastline. He subsequently landed several times briefly on the peninsula coast to take bearings, including at the location of Portarlington (where he shared lunch with Aboriginal people), and also at Point Richards. In February 1803, the Surveyor-General Charles Grimes landed from his ship, the Cumberland, at Portarlington with an expedition and spent several days exploring the Bay coastline to Point Cook. They were impressed by the fine pasture and soil in the Bellarine Hills. They sailed back from Point Cook to Portarlington and landed again, where they were met by Aboriginals. They traded food and utensils, however other provisions were stolen from their boat in their absence. Some evidence of smallpox among the locals was noted at that time.

Apart from the likely wanderings of the escaped English convict, William Buckley, who lived among the Wautharong people around the Bellarine Peninsula for 32 years after escaping into the bush in 1803, there was little European contact with the area until the arrival of the pioneer settler, John Batman, and his Port Phillip Association expedition in 1835. Batman established a base camp at Indented Head, and proceeded to survey the interior of the peninsula. Batman wrote glowing reports of the pasture and grazing potential of the Bellarine Hills (which he named "Wedge's Range"), with a view of attracting interest in establishing sheep runs in the Port Phillip area. Further exploration was carried out by John Helder Wedge later in 1835, with Batman's encouragement, and Wedge is believed to have again passed through the vicinity of Portarlington. He was also much impressed by the countryside, which he named "Ballarine", but discovering the scarcity of fresh water, he directed his attentions elsewhere. When the first organised group of settlers arrived from Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) aboard the Enterprize in August 1835, they sought out the well-watered northern reaches of Port Phillip, around the Yarra River. Wedge and the Batman party quickly abandoned Bellarine and Indented Head and followed them there.

Settlement
When the holdings of the Port Phillip Association were allocated, the Bellarine Peninsula was allotted to the member, John Sinclair, who was the Superintendent of the Engineers' Depot in Launceston. Sinclair was injured in February 1837, when he came to Port Phillip and attempted to visit his property. His two companions, Joseph Gellibrand and George Hesse, who continued the journey without him, disappeared, and no trace of them was ever found. Sinclair was evacuated back to Melbourne from Point Henry and made no further effort to take up his allotted land, although he remained in the Port Phillip District. By 1839 the Port Phillip Association had been bought out by the Derwent Company, which sold a number of runs on the Bellarine Peninsula and Indented Head to squatters, before folding in 1842.

Among the earliest known settlers in the vicinity of Portarlington was the former Hobart butcher, Henry Baynton, who was recorded there in the 1840s. Baynton established a cattle shipping service between Portarlington and Van Diemen's Land. He is believed to have had a station named Westham, which may have occupied a site near the derelict homestead now known as Lincoln's Farm, overlooking Point Richards. Baynton also had interests at Cowie's Creek (now Corio), across the Bay. Baynton possibly sold out to John Brown, who is identified as the owner of a Point Richards station in 1847. Other squatters known to have had property around the Portarlington area in the 1840s include William Booth, James Conway Langdon, and William Harding. In 1848 new land regulations were introduced, and the squatters' runs were subdivided into smaller allotments over the following years. By the early 1850s the era of the squatters had passed on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Growth of the early township

The township of Portarlington was formally surveyed around 1850 and was at that time named Drayton. It was renamed Portarlington in 1851, reportedly in honour of the English peer, Sir Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington. However, it is also suggested, and seems more likely, that owing to the number of early Irish settlers in the area, the town was named after the town in Ireland of the same name (founded by Sir Henry Bennet in 1666). The newly surveyed township was neatly laid out, with broad streets, and planted with English elms and pines.

The first sale of town lots took place on 22 October 1851. It was described in the Geelong Advertiser newspaper as a "new township at Indented Head" and buyers were confident that it would quickly become "a place of importance". The first buyers were mainly speculators so, although the lots initially sold well, few purchasers developed their blocks and the town was slow to fill.

A steam-powered flour mill opened in 1857. After a competing mill in nearby Drysdale was destroyed by fire in 1861, Portarlington began to develop more rapidly. At that time, the Bellarine Peninsula was regarded as the granary of the Victorian colony. The mill owners built a private jetty, and began receiving grain shipments from Geelong and shipping out the flour and bran produced. A post office opened on 1 March 1863 (known as Port Arlington until about 1866, although that may have been in error).

By 1865, the population of Portarlington had passed 200, and the town boasted two hotels and a blacksmith's shop. The Wesleyan congregation, who were the most numerous, built the town's first church in 1866. Before that, they had conducted their services at the mill.

The Portarlington Pier was constructed in 1859, after a petition from local farmers demanding access to a public jetty, and it quickly became an important port of call for the network of steamers plying Port Phillip Bay, both for goods and passengers. The Petrel, the first vessel serving the direct run to Melbourne's Hobsons Bay, was reportedly doing a brisk trade by 1866, delivering hay, butter, eggs, cheese, potatoes, wheat, flour, geese, turkeys, poultry, bacon, pork, and pigs, and returning with supplies of tea, sugar, coffee, wine, beer, spirits, and other commercial items. The jetty was extended in 1870, allowing sufficient depth for shallow draft vessels to dock at any tide, and soon daily steamers from Melbourne were calling. The first to pick up passengers and cargo was the Despatch, in 1872. The direct run to Melbourne provided markets for large deliveries of potatoes and onions from around Portarlington, and lines of carts laden with produce were a common sight heading down to the port. At times up to eight or nine lighters would be loading at the jetty with cargo for Melbourne, as well as a steamer. The jetty was reconstructed in 1872, and storage sheds added. In 1871, there were 343 inhabitants of Portarlington.

Portarlington's picturesque setting and fine sandy beaches attracted visitors from Geelong and Melbourne, and the regular steamer service secured the town's progress as a popular seaside resort. A public bathing house existed from as early as 1868, and a replacement was built in 1877. Bathing on the open beaches was prohibited in early days "out of respect for public sentiment".

A brickworks was established in 1870, producing bricks, tiles and pipes from the high grade Portarlington clay, for local use, but it was soon exporting to Geelong and Melbourne. When the flour mill closed down in 1874, the brickworks moved into the building. It seems to have ceased production during the 1890s depression.

The first State School in Portarlington (No. 1251) opened in the Wesleyan Church building in 1873, with 73 pupils. Following a dispute with church authorities, it was soon relocated to the Temperance Hall (built in 1874). The permanent red-brick school building, located on the current site, was formally opened on 27 Apr 1882, as State School No. 2455. It featured a bell-tower, a central fireplace, and two large rain-water tanks. A free public library opened in the ante-room of the Temperance Hall in 1883. A well-furnished building, purpose built for the library, was opened a year later, and a Market Reserve was established near the jetty in 1877.

The Anglican Church was built in Portarlington in 1883, and a Presbyterian Sunday school was constructed in 1888. The Catholic Church was completed in 1895, although it is believed that a Catholic school had been running in the town since the 1860s, and Mass may have previously been celebrated in a rented hall.

Horse racing began at Portarlington in 1859 on a track near the mill, but didn't generate much interest until the 1880s, when a new track was established to the west of the town. The new track was fenced-off in 1881, despite opposition from local graziers, and the Portarlington Turf Club was established in 1883, with an annual meeting held on Easter Monday. The track was close to the beach, and was knee-deep in sand in places. It was regarded as the heaviest track in the country.

The Portarlington Cricket Club was established in 1872, although the game had been played in the town for many years before. An Australian Rules Football club appeared in 1874. Tennis courts were built in the old park in 1896.

A permanent police station opened in Portarlington in 1875, although a trooper had been stationed in the town since 1871. The new station had no lock-up, so any prisoners had to be taken to Drysdale.

In 1887, a corner of the Market Reserve was allocated as the site for the new brick post office. Portarlington had enjoyed a postal service since the 1860s, but public agitation for a more centrally-located facility had increased throughout the 1880s. A telegraph service began in 1882. A bank branch was also operating in the town by the 1880s. In 1882, Portarlington was described as an exceptionally clean town, with a variety of stores and traders, and a daily coach service ran to Geelong, via Drysdale. Rail services were also accessible at Drysdale. Five fishermen were operating out of the town at that time.

Twentieth Century and Beyond

By the 1920s, the increasing usage of the automobile generated a new influx of holiday makers from Melbourne and regional Victoria. A number of camping grounds and caravan parks were established throughout the town, and in summer months the town's permanent residents were outnumbered many times over by holidaying families and tourists. Some families have been returning to Portarlington year after year, over multiple generations, some eventually buying holiday homes in the area, and they have become important contributors to the social and economic life of the town.

In more recent years the Seachange phenomenon has also made a notable impact on the town, with greater numbers of people buying property by the sea for lifestyle reasons or to enjoy their retirement. This has had a dramatic effect on property prices and has also led to calls for improvements in services and infrastructure in the area.

Jan Juc

Jan Juc is a suburb of Torquay, Victoria. At the 2016 census, Jan Juc had a population of 3,683.

History
Nearby Bellbrae was originally called Jan Juc but was renamed in 1923, so the Jan Juc Post Office, which opened on 25 January 1862, was in fact in Bellbrae. There has never been a post office in the current Jan Juc.

As of, housing estates almost link Jan Juc to adjacent Torquay, across the Spring Creek. Along with many other parts of the Surf Coast, increasing popularity is placing pressure on the coastal environment.

Jan Juc beach
The Jan Juc beach lies between Rocky Point to the east and Bird Rock to the west, and is bounded by high cliffs, apart from the middle where an ephemeral creek enters Bass Strait through sand dunes. The beach is patrolled during summer months by the Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Club.

Jan Juc beach is home to the Jan Juc Formation, of which its Marl formation has been biostratigraphically and radiometrically dated to the Chattian (Oligocene) (28.4 - 23.0 Ma). The Formation is known for various fossil discoveries. In the late 1990s, a surfer found the fossilised remains of an extinct genus of whale on a beach near Jan Juc. It was named Janjucetus hunderi, after the location. The remains of other extinct whales Mammalodon, Prosqualodon and Waipatia have also been discovered at Jan Juc.

Sport
Jan Juc has a Surf Life Saving Club which includes a junior "Nippers" program. The Jan Juc Sharks cricket club has eight junior teams and four senior teams that compete in the Geelong Junior Cricket Association and the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association respectively. Jan Juc Boardriders is the local surfing club.

Anakie, Victoria

Anakie is a town between Geelong and Bacchus Marsh, in Victoria, Australia. At the, Anakie and the surrounding area had a population of 734. The area is divided between the City of Greater Geelong and Golden Plains Shire local government areas.

The name is believed to be derived from 'Anakie Youang', an expression in one of the local Australian Aboriginal languages, meaning 'little hill' or 'twin hills'. The nearby Brisbane Ranges National Park contains three hills known as The Anakies, as well as Mount Anakie.

Anakie's industry consists mainly of farms and vineyards. Fairy Park, a fairytale-themed amusement park overlooking the Anakie township, is a prominent local attraction. The town is also a stopping off point for the Brisbane Ranges National Park.

The town has an Australian rules football team, the Anakie Football Club, competing in the Geelong & District Football League.

History
The area was first settled by Europeans in 1842 when Frederick Griffin established his Anakie pastoral run. In the 1850s, Griffin subdivided some of the land along the Anakie Creek, which became a small village. A Wesleyan school opened in 1858 and a Catholic school in 1859. The Post Office opened on 15 October 1858. By 1865 the town had a hotel and a Presbyterian church. A Catholic church was established in 1871 followed by an Anglican church in 1891. The size of the farming lots were too small for most farmers to make a living, and so consolidations occurred, which resulted in a drop in population.

Residents in Anakie experienced severe bushfires on 22 January 2006 with fires spreading over 67 km2 of land and at least three homes being lost in conditions surpassing 42 C.

Narada Homestead, dates from 1862 and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

Population
In the 2021 census, there were 734 people in Anakie. Seventy-nine per cent of people were born in Australia and 88% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were 'no religion' (44.8%) and Catholic (17.7%).

Point Lonsdale

Point Lonsdale is a coastal township on the Bellarine Peninsula, near Queenscliff, Victoria, Australia. The town is divided between the Borough of Queenscliffe and the City of Greater Geelong. Point Lonsdale is also one of the headlands which, with Point Nepean, frame The Rip, the entrance to Port Phillip. The headland is dominated by the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse. At the, Point Lonsdale had a population of 2,684. The population grows rapidly over the summer months through to the Easter period due to its popularity as a holiday destination.

History
The traditional owners of this area are the Wautharong people of the Kulin nation. The escaped convict William Buckley, the first known European to have lived in the area, lived with local Aborigines from 1803 to 1835. A signal station was built in 1854. Permanent European settlement began at Point Lonsdale in the latter half of the 19th century with the construction of a lighthouse in 1863 and the extension of the railway line from Geelong to Queenscliff in 1879. Since settlement, many ships have been wrecked on the rocky reefs at the entrance to Port Phillip.

The post office opened on 15 January 1902.

The town is named after police officer William Lonsdale and is the birthplace of former Premier of Victoria Thomas Hollway.

Heritage listed sites
Point Lonsdale contains several Victorian Heritage Register listed sites, including:

 * 7 Glaneuse Road, Arilpa
 * 57–73 Glaneuse Road, Ballara
 * 2 Point Lonsdale Road, Point Lonsdale Maratime and Defence Precinct which includes the towns lightouse
 * 159 Point Lonsdale Rd, The Queenscliff Cemetery

Environment
Next to the town is Lake Victoria, a shallow saline lake that is part of the Lonsdale Lakes Nature Reserve and an important site for the waterbirds and migratory waders that form part of the population using the Ramsar-listed Swan Bay wetland system.

The coastal rock platforms and adjacent waters are included in the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park. The intertidal platforms have the highest invertebrate diversity of any calcarenite reef in Victoria, while subtidal areas are characterised by diverse and abundant algal communities as well as by encrusting organisms such as ascidians, sponges and bryozoans.

Along the open coast there are regular sightings of threatened marine mammals such as humpback and southern right whales.

Other
Point Lonsdale has a large 100-year-old Norfolk Pine 'The Christmas Tree' that is lit up on the first Saturday in December at the end of an evening of A Community Celebration of Christmas. The Community Celebration of Christmas is run by a committee of volunteers assisted by the local service clubs, Lions and Rotary. The focus of the event is the community and children and each year the lights are turned on by a special guest (or guests) of honour chosen for their contribution to the Community. The Borough of Queenscliffe has a high percentage of volunteers and it is usually volunteers that are chosen as the special guest/guests of honour in recognition of their contribution to the community. Santa arrives at 7:25 pm in the local Fire Brigade Truck, whilst throwing lollies to the children, to start an evening of entertainment by local performers. Glowcandles are sold as a fundraiser for maintaining equipment on the tree with all profits supporting the ongoing lighting of the tree. The tree itself is decorated by community volunteers and service club members coordinated by The Christmas Tree Committee. Festooning is hauled up by hand and manually secured into the tree. This tree can be found at the corner of Grimes Road and Point Lonsdale Rd, Point Lonsdale, Victoria. When lit up this tree can be seen for miles out to sea and is a Queenscliffe Borough icon, having been lit since about 1952–1953. When the lights are on you know Christmas is getting close.

The township of Point Lonsdale has also been used in some episodes of the hit children's series Round the Twist for some of the exterior scenes.

Sport
Golfers play at the course of the Lonsdale Links Golf Club on Fellows Road, rated a Top 20 course in Australia, after undergoing a major renovation. Bowlers bowl at the Point Lonsdale Bowling Club. Surfers surf with the Point Lonsdale Boardriders Club The tennis club is open to members and their guests.

St Leonards, Victoria

St Leonards is a coastal township on the Bellarine Peninsula near Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Situated 33 km east of Geelong, at the eastern end of the Bellarine Peninsula and the northern end of Swan Bay, St Leonards was a filming location for the Australian television series SeaChange.

The town is surrounded by salt marsh wildlife reserves which provide habitat for hundreds of birds, including the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot of which there are less than 200 in the wild. Salt marshes are one of the most biologically productive habitats on the planet, rivalling tropical rainforests. St. Leonards has also just been nominated to have the cleanest beaches in Victoria.

St Leonards is positioned centrally to many local wineries and eateries of the Bellarine Peninsula.

History

To further this endeavour required the building of a pier and the town consisted of a hotel, store and six houses in 1858. The first Hotel in St Leonards was established in 1858. The Post Office opened on 19 March 1860. St Leonards State School No. 866 opened in October 1874.

NISMART

NISMART or the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Throwaway Children, was a research project supported by the United States Department of Justice. It was enacted to address the 1984 Missing Children's Assistance Act (Pub.L. 98-473). This required the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to conduct periodic national incidence studies to determine the actual number of children reported missing and the number recovered. The first study, NISMART-1 in 1988 categorized the various missing children reports and estimated the number of missing and recovered children in each. In 1999, a second study dubbed NISMART-2 was initiated. The two studies cannot be compared against each other due to categorizing techniques being distinct in each study. Also, NISMART-2 interviewed youth directly whereas NISMART-1 did not.

A federal grant of $1 million for NISMART-3 was announced by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in 2010.
