# Go-Jos

**The Go-Jos** were a British TV dance troupe, created for the BBC1 TV music chart show *Top of the Pops* in late 1964, appearing regularly on the show until mid-1968. They were the first of a series of five dance troupes on the programme. They also appeared on other BBC and ITV shows, finally disbanding in 1971.

## Formation

The troupe were formed by Jo Cook, who had been a member of the TV dance troupe the Silhouettes in the early 1960s. She then became a founder member of the Beat Girls, appearing in the weekly pop show on BBC2, *The Beat Room*, from July 1964. She was forced to leave the Beat Girls in October 1964 due to a contractual dispute.

In November 1964, *Top of the Pops* producers had decided a dance troupe was needed to perform when the act was not available. Jo Cook won the job of providing this troupe, and so created the group, the Go-Jos, named after herself. Their first performance was on 19 November 1964 dancing to Baby Love by The Supremes. The group usually danced on *Top of the Pops* to the latest pop hits dressed in the mini skirts and high boots that were fashionable at the time. The Go-Jos were not fully resident; they typically only appeared every few weeks.

## Top of the Pops

In the beginning, on Top of the Pops, Linda Hotchkin and Jane Bartlett performed with Pat Hughes. Pat Hughes left towards the end of June 1965 and Jo Cook herself appeared over the next few months.

The troupe changed again in later 1965 when Jo Cook finally quit dancing to focus on choreography. Barbara von der Heyde and Thelma Bignell joined by the beginning of 1966, and Linda Hotchkin temporarily left, creating a three-person group.

Linda Hotchkin rejoined in early 1967, and the group expanded to six in 1968 with the addition of Lesley Larbey and Wendy Hillhouse.

However, the BBC decided in mid-1968 to replace the Go-Jos with Pan's People on *Top of the Pops*.

Their final performance was on 20 June 1968, dancing to Jumping Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones.

Only one *Top of the Pops* performance by the Go-Jos is known to survive, Reflections by Diana Ross and the Supremes, transmitted on 26 December 1967.

## The Jo Cook Dancers

Jo Cook rebadged the Go-Jos as the Jo Cook dancers when they appeared on the sixth and last series of *Thank Your Lucky Stars**,* replacing the Dance Centre group, the Lucky Stars.

This series ran from 2 October 1965 to 31 December 1966 with regular Go-Jo dancers Linda Hotchkin, Jane Bartlett, Barbara von der Heyde and Thelma Bignell in performances with a chart band.

## Timeline

The following chart shows the timeline of the GoJos on Top of the Pops and the Jo Cook dancers and GoJos on *Thank Your Lucky Stars*.

## Later years

The group continued for several years appearing on a variety of TV shows, including the Val Doonincan show and *The Goodies*. As The Go-Jos, they worked with Lulu in 1967 on the music and comedy series *Three of a Kind*, which also featured Mike Yarwood.

They appeared in the 1966 Southern TV show *Tale of Two Rivers* with Lesley Judd appearing as a member with Linda Hotchkin and Barbara von der Heyde.

The group appeared in the film *Moon Zero Two* in 1969, however with none of the regular members.

Jo Cook and Linda Hotchkin appeared in *Top of the Pops: The True Story* in 2001 talking about their time on *Top of the Pops*


title: Oldham bus station

abstract: Oldham bus station is a bus station located in the town of Oldham in Greater Manchester. The bus station is found on Cheapside at the junction of West Street.

# Oldham bus station

**Oldham bus station** is a bus station located in the town of Oldham in Greater Manchester. The bus station is found on Cheapside at the junction of West Street. The bus station opened in January 2001 and replaced the previous bus station at Town Square and the bus stops on Cheapside and West Street. The bus station is run by Transport for Greater Manchester.

## History

In the past, there were three termini in Oldham, West Street, Town Square and Mumps Bridge with services terminating in Oldham, arriving from western areas, at West Street and services arriving from eastern areas terminating at Town Square. Mumps Bridge is used as a terminus for First Greater Manchester (formerly GM Buses/GM Buses North) services, as the depot is located at Mumps Bridge. When the bus station opened, all services terminating in the town (with the exception of some First service which terminate at Mumps Bridge) would terminate at the new bus station.

The new station opened in January 2001 and within the first two years of opening, it won two awards. Originally, there were eight stands in the bus station, A to H. Due to the number of buses arriving in Oldham every hour, plus National Express coaches which also uses the bus station as a stopping place, it was decided, to avoid congestion, that some services would use bus stops on West Street, which is around the corner from the bus station. After complaints from passengers waiting for buses on West Street of suffering from the elements, GMPTE decided to build a smaller bus station, based on the one on Cheapside for West Street. This opened in September 2006 at a cost of £2.2m. Now, there are, in total, 12 stands, from A to H and J to M.

## Services

The majority of bus services are run by First Greater Manchester with other services run by operators including Stagecoach Manchester, Stotts and Manchester Community Transport.

There are frequent buses running to a large number of surrounding areas of Oldham and Greater Manchester including Manchester, Middleton, Rochdale, Saddleworth and Tameside, with one service running out of the region into West Yorkshire to Huddersfield.

## Safety concerns

One problem with Oldham bus station is the safety of the crossings. In January 2007, 56-year-old Ann Kerridge was killed after being knocked down by a bus on a crossing at the bus station with husband Brian dying shortly afterwards, which the family believed was caused by a broken heart. Following another accident at the same crossing in September 2007 and a report by GMPTE obtained by the Oldham Evening Chronicle newspaper that shows potentially fatal flaws at the two crossings at the ends of the bus station, one being near the entrance to the Travelshop and the other near the junction of St Mary's Way, it had led to the family of Ann Kerridge to demand that the crossing should be closed.

The problem with the two crossings is that bus drivers approach the crossing on a 90 degree bend, which would restrict the view of both the driver and the pedestrian, sometimes approaching the crossing slightly too fast. Also some drivers have been known to have stopped at the junction waiting to turn right out of the bus station, blocking the crossing, making it harder and more dangerous for pedestrians to cross over. Following the report from GMPTE, the pedestrian crossings have been re-allocated to the sides of the bus station next to stands G and H.

title: It's Alive (Ramones album)

abstract:
It's Alive is the first live album by the American punk rock band the Ramones, titled after the 1974 horror film of the same name. It was recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London on December 31, 1977, and released in April 1979 as a 2-LP set. The album draws from the band's first three studio albums: Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), and Rocket to Russia (1977). Four concerts during the UK tour were recorded, but the New Year's Eve one was chosen because ten rows of seats were thrown at the stage after the concert and it was considered the best of the performances at the venue.
  - "Since it was New Year's Eve, our management brought in some balloons and gave everybody these 'Gabba gabba hey' signs to wave around. It was very celebratory. Johnny Thunders was there, and Sid Vicious with his new girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Elton John was there, dressed up like Marlon Brando in The Wild One. We'd honed our craft really sharp by then. The Ramones' sound was basically the essence of rock 'n' roll. That's what we were going for." – Tommy Ramone The album and concert is referred to as the band at its live peak. The concert was filmed and later released in truncated form on the 2007 compilation DVD It's Alive 1974–1996. The album was certified gold in Argentina in 1993.

In a 1996 retrospective review, Robert Christgau of *The Village Voice* wrote: "Redundant when it was dropped on the punk-besotted U.K. in 1979, this concert is precious history now—seems so impossibly light and quick it makes you suspect they didn't fully sustain their live pace into their forties after all."

Paul Rigby of *Record Collector* described the album as a "high energy, one-hour blitz" that attests to "how high-octane they really were".

AllMusic critic Mark Deming deemed *It's Alive* to be "not only the best Ramones live album," but also "one of the best and most effective live albums in the rock canon, and every bit as essential as *Ramones*, *Leave Home*, or *Rocket to Russia*."

In 2005, *It's Alive* was ranked number 279 in *Rock Hard* magazine's book *The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time*.

# Mohammed Shah I

**Mohammed Shah I** (reigned 13581375) was the second ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate, a late medieval kingdom of India. He succeeded his father Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah. He initiated the Bahmani–Vijayanagar War with two neighboring kingdoms, the Vijayanagara and the Warangal under Kapaya Nayaka, and successfully subjugated them. He was succeeded by his son Alauddin Mujahid Shah.

## Reign

When Mohammad inherited the newly born sultanate from his father Alauddin, the land was still infested with thieves and robbers. As such he spent the entire part of his reign in establishing law in his land. He ordered his governors to never give refuge to anyone who defied his authority. This campaign was successful and at the end of his reign, the land became peaceful and law-abiding. He also sat on the takht-ē-firoza or The Turquoise throne which was gifted to him by Kapaya Nayaka.

During his time, he built the Jamia mosque of Gulbarga with the help of a Persian architect named Rafi of Qazvin in 1367.

Like his father, Mohammed was involved in wars with Vijayanagara. However he also became embroiled in wars with Warangal. Mohammed died in 1375 due to alcoholic addiction.

## Genocide of non-believers

During his reign, he perpetrated some of the largest genocides of non-believers. It is estimated that he massacred approximately 500,000 to 1 million infidels.

# R. Lee Taylor

**R. Lee Taylor** (September 28, 1924 – May 9, 2000) was the curator of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley and a nationally known creator of miniature houses.

## Early life

R. Lee Taylor was born in Tennessee on September 28, 1924.

## Career

R. Lee Taylor served during World War II and took part to the Normandy landings. After the war, he moved to New York City, where, in 1947, at 23 years old, he met Julian Wood Glass Jr., at the time 37 years old and an executive working for the petroleum industry.

In 1955, together with Glass, Taylor restored Glass's ancestral home, Glen Burnie, a Georgian-style home which Glass inherited from his father. Now the house is part of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. Taylor helped also Glass in searching the 18th and 19th century European and American fine and decorative arts for his collection.

In 1957, Taylor moved full-time into the Glen Burnie House and managed the site. He also created the surrounding gardens. In 1997, five years after Glass' death, the house opened as a museum; Taylor was the curator and lived on the second floor. Taylor retired in 1998 but continued to live at Glen Burnie House until his death in 2000.

The museum hosted Taylor's collection of miniature houses, the masterpiece the miniature of the Glen Burnie House, created between 1988 and 1990. A book about the collection has been published in 2005, *R. Lee Taylor Miniatures – The Valley's Tiny Treasures* edited by Marge Lee.

For his work in the Glen Burnie House's gardens, Taylor was honored by the Garden Club of Virginia. His miniature houses were featured in specialized publications like Nutshell News and Treasures in Miniature.

## Personal life

R. Lee Taylor had a long-term relationship with Julian Wood Glass, Jr. that ended in the mid 1970s. The two men drifted apart and reconciled just before Glass's death in 1992.

Taylor was well loved around Winchester, Virginia.

Taylor died on May 9, 2000, and his ashes are buried in the wall of the Glen Burnie Family Cemetery.

title: Quinisocaine

text:
# Quinisocaine

**Quinisocaine** (INN) or **dimethisoquin** (BAN and USAN) is a topical anesthetic used as an antipruritic.

## Synthesis

The Henry reaction between phthalaldehydic acid (2-Formylbenzoic acid) \[119-67-5\] (**1**) and 1-nitropentane \[628-05-7\] occurs by a mechanism that involves a hydroxy acid (**2**). Expulsion of water then gives (**3**). Reduction of the nitro group via catalytic hydrogenation leads to the amine, CID:158569430 (**4**). Treatment of that amine with sodium hydroxide leads to ring opening of the lactone ring to the intermediary amino acid (**5**). This cyclises spontaneously to the lactam so that the product isolated from the reaction mixture is in fact the isoquinoline derivative, CID:154188092 (**7**). Dehydration by means of strong acid gives 3-Butylisocarbostyril \[132-90-1\] (**8**). Phosphorus oxychloride converts the oxygen function to the corresponding chloride via the enol forms 3-butyl-1-chloroisoquinoline \[87-06-9\] (**9**). Displacement of halogen with the sodium salt from 2-dimethylaminoethanol (**10**) affords dimethisoquin (**11**).

title: R30 (New York City Subway car)

abstract: The R30 was a New York City Subway car model built by St. Louis Car Company from 1961 to 1962. The cars were a "follow-up" or supplemental stock for the B Division's R27s and closely resembled them. A total of 320 cars were built, arranged in married pairs. Three versions were manufactured: Westinghouse (WH)-powered cars, General Electric (GE)-powered cars, and R30As. The first R30s entered service in 1961. Various modifications were made over the years to the R30 fleet, and most of the fleet was refurbished in 1985–1989 with a "Redbird" paint scheme. The WH-powered cars were not rebuilt, being replaced by the R68A fleet, and the last train of WH-powered cars ran in passenger service on December 14, 1990. The overhauled R30s and the R30As were planned to run until 1997, but the cars were prematurely phased out starting in 1992 due to the difficulty of installing air-conditioning; the last overhauled R30s ran in passenger service on June 25, 1993. Some R30 cars were saved for various purposes, but most were scrapped.

# R30 (New York City Subway car)

The **R30** was a New York City Subway car model built by St. Louis Car Company from 1961 to 1962. The cars were a "follow-up" or supplemental stock for the B Division's R27s and closely resembled them. A total of 320 cars were built, arranged in married pairs. Three versions were manufactured: Westinghouse (WH)-powered cars, General Electric (GE)-powered cars, and **R30As**.

The first R30s entered service in 1961. Various modifications were made over the years to the R30 fleet, and most of the fleet was refurbished in 1985–1989 with a "Redbird" paint scheme. The WH-powered cars were not rebuilt, being replaced by the R68A fleet, and the last train of WH-powered cars ran in passenger service on December 14, 1990. The overhauled R30s and the R30As were planned to run until 1997, but the cars were prematurely phased out starting in 1992 due to the difficulty of installing air-conditioning; the last overhauled R30s ran in passenger service on June 25, 1993. Some R30 cars were saved for various purposes, but most were scrapped.

## Description

The R30s were numbered 8250–8569.

The R30s were coupled together as pairs. These cars, along with their identical R27 sister cars, replaced the oldest BMT A/B Standards (including all 50 of the trailer cars), the ME-1s purchased and transferred from the SIRT, the MS Multi-section cars, and the IRT Lo-Vs that were modified to be used on B-division shuttles. They helped to stabilize the BMT Division to a certain extent until the R32 cars were delivered to the BMT lines in 1965.

There were three versions of the R30: Westinghouse (WH) XCA248-powered equipped cars (8412–8569), General Electric (GE) MCM-powered cars (8250–8351), and **R30As** (8352–8411), which were equipped with newer solid-state GE SCM controllers instead.

## History

The R30s were primarily BMT Southern Division cars, although they would appear in the Eastern Division from time to time.

Like the R27s, the R30s wore several paint schemes over the course of their career. The cars were delivered in a dark olive green paint scheme, and many were repainted bright red in the late 1960s before receiving the MTA corporate silver and blue scheme in 1970. Cars 8293, 8392 and 8521 were delivered with a rough surface paint.

The rebuilt R30s were finished in a fox red color and were called the BMT Redbirds. The unrebuilt R30s, which were Westinghouse cars numbered 8412–8569, were also painted red in the mid-1980s.

From 1985 until 1989, all GE-powered R30s and R30As were rebuilt and painted in the fox red paint scheme, similar to 27 select R27s and other Redbird trains in the subway system, as part of the Clean Car Program.

### Retirement

The WH-powered R30s, which were not rebuilt, were replaced by the R68As and the rebuilt R30s, which were transferred from the BMT Eastern Division. The last unrebuilt train ran on December 14, 1990.

In January 1990, the R30s were removed from passenger service due to converter bracket failure that resulted in a train derailing near the Bedford Park Boulevard station. Just two years later, the MTA made the decision to retire the 162 overhauled cars. A risk assessment analysis was performed in 1991 to either put the cars in long-term storage or to retire them. The cars suffered from poor reliability; lack of air conditioning in the cars, as well as budget concerns and a decline in subway ridership, further exacerbated the decision to prematurely retire the cars. Installing air conditioning would have been a difficult procedure and would have added extra weight to the cars. In addition, when the cars were pulled from service in 1990, passenger service managed to continue uninterrupted without any cuts to service despite their absence. On May 30, 1993, the Electric Railroaders' Association sponsored a *Farewell to the R30* fan trip. The last of the overhauled R30s were retired from passenger service on June 25, 1993, on the  line after the last of the R46s were returned from Morrison–Knudsen undergoing overhaul. Despite the retirement of the cars, the spare factor in the B Division was only lowered by 12%, which did not cause an adverse effect on service.

After retirement, most cars were sent to what is now Sims Metal Management's Newark facility to be scrapped and processed. Some cars were retained as movie props, but many were ultimately scrapped as well. The new parts used for the rebuilding of the cars (including cam control groups and braking systems) were salvaged and re-installed on GE-powered R36 cars 9558–9769 between 1992–1993 to improve their reliability.

Some R30 cars were saved for various purposes throughout the New York City Subway system. The full list includes:

Other R30s that had been retained or preserved before February 2019 included:

* 8265 and 8336 – used as school cars in Concourse Yard until 2009. They were replaced by R40A cars 4442–4443 (since scrapped) and reefed on April 17, 2010.
* 8289–8290 – used as police training cars in Coney Island Yard until January 2008, when they were reefed.
* 8337 – used as a training car at the Transit Tech High School until 2009, when it was replaced by R42 cars 4736–4737 and reefed later that year.
* 8392 and 8401 – used as fire training cars in Coney Island Yard until July 2004. They were replaced by R110B cars 3004 and 3006 and reefed in July 2007.
* 8394 – placed in an Asics store in Times Square in late October 2014. The car was previously used for filming scenes in the Mojave Desert. Part of the car was cut away to allow the car to fit in the building. The store was closed in mid-October 2015, but a temporary pop-up store opened at the site in late fall 2017. Afterwards, the car sat in the unused space until it was finally cut up in late January 2019.
* 8424–8425 – used as school cars in Coney Island Yard until October 21, 2013, when they were trucked to New Jersey to be scrapped at Sims Metal Management.
* 8463 – used as a school car in Pitkin Yard until October 22, 2013, when it was also trucked to New Jersey to be scrapped at Sims Metal Management (along with R27 car 8145).

* The following movie appearances depict the R30 cars in the Redbird paint scheme.
    + A train of R30s was featured in the film *Ghost* running as a  train.
    + In the 1993 film *Carlito's Way* with Al Pacino, R30s were used during the chase scene near the end of the film. Cars 8275, 8277, 8330, 8332, 8335, 8340, and 8351 were seen among others. These trains displayed the  Broadway Local rollsigns.
    + For the 1995 film *Money Train*, two 3-car sets of GE R30s were retrofitted with extra bright lights at the bottom of the car. They were 8294, 8298, 8394–8395, 8397, and 8408. A single four-car set also appeared in the movie. This four-car set included cars 8463, 8510, 8558, and 8569, which were filmed running on New York City Transit property.
    + In the 1995 film *Die Hard with a Vengeance*, a set of GE R30s, which were the same cars use for *Money Train* (8294, 8298, 8394–8395, 8397, and 8408) was used for the scene when the rear car of a Brooklyn-bound 3 train is derailed at Wall Street station.
    + In the 1998 movie *Godzilla*, a partially destroyed R30 car, 8401, was used for an underground scene.
    + A simulated version of the R30 interior was featured in the opening credits of Season 2 of the television show *Everybody Hates Chris*.
    + Various R30s were shown in the 1982 made-for-TV film *Dreams Don't Die*, depicting the R30s in the MTA Silver/Blue livery and the beige and orange interiors filmed near Fresh Pond Road station.
    + A scene in the 1977 movie *Saturday Night Fever* shows a train of R30As running on the RR train.

# WWII RAN Fuel Installation, Edge Hill

**WWII RAN Fuel Installation** is a heritage-listed former fuel depot and now arts centre at Collins Avenue, Edge Hill, Cairns, Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built in 1943. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 2 February 2007.

The building is now home to the **Tanks Arts Centre**, a multi-use, contemporary arts facility for the visual and performing arts.

## History

The former Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Fuel Installation at Edge Hill, about five kilometres north of the Cairns city centre, was constructed in 1943 in response to the increased military presence associated with the Pacific war effort during World War II. The installation comprised five large fuel storage tanks, earth and concrete bunds around the tanks, auxiliary buildings and an underground pipeline from the tanks to Cairns wharves. Most of these structures have been incorporated into the Flecker Botanical Gardens, a recreational precinct at the southern foothills of the Mount Whitfield range. Tanks 3-5 have been adaptively re-used as the Tanks Arts Centre, a performance and display space.

Cairns was established in late 1876 as a port to service the Hodgkinson goldfield. In the mid-1880s the Cairns to Herberton railway line was surveyed through the Mt Whitfield range and in 1885 the low swamp lands south of Mt Islay were surveyed into large suburban sections. In December 1886 four of these were gazetted as a temporary recreation reserve of over 71 acres (about 29 hectares). This was extended in 1887 to comprise an area of over 97 acres (about 40 hectares), and by 1892 contained 108.5 acres (approximately 44 hectares). The recreation reserve was gazetted permanently in 1921, as 109.5 acres (just over 44 hectares).

In 1886 an area of 31.5 acres (about 12.75 hectares) on Mt Islay, just north of the recreation reserve and adjacent to the railway, was gazetted as a quarry reserve for the Cairns Municipal Council. This was used for only a few years, the rock being considered too shaly and soft for road fill. In 1908 the gazettal was rescinded.

Cairns' position as the principal access port to the hinterland mining districts was consolidated following completion in 1891 of the Cairns to Kuranda section of the Cairns to Herberton railway. A stopping place, railway siding (for municipal quarry purposes) and shelter shed were constructed a Mt Islay at the three-mile in 1888–89, and was named Edge Hill. In 1911 the line was moved 300 metres (980 ft) east to the other side of Saltwater Creek where a new Edge Hill railway station was erected. The former Edge Hill Railway Station stood where RAN fuel tanks 1 and 2 were constructed in 1943. For some years the Cairns Town Council continued to transport quarry material from Edge Hill to Cairns via its own tramway, using the former railway alignment, but this was abandoned by 1923.

In 1940 about 10 acres (4 hectares) at Mt Islay, above the recreation reserve, again was gazetted as a municipal quarry, this time for land reclamation purposes. The base of Mt Islay lay within the recreation reserve and from 1940 the slope adjoining the gazetted quarry was excavated as part of the quarry workings.

During World War Two Cairns became an important military base in the Pacific region. From September 1942, military personnel began to arrive for deployment. Providing the infrastructure to support the allied war effort at Cairns became a priority, and the decision to build Royal Australian Navy fuel storage tanks in Cairns was given under the highest level of National Security.

Early planning positioned the fuel installation behind wharf no.8 at the dockyards on Trinity Inlet, but as both the Australian and United States navies intended to expand warehouse storage facilities in this area, an alternative site was sought. Two Australian Navy staff visited Cairns in late 1942 and approved a site at Edge Hill that could be camouflaged from the air and would be difficult for an aerial enemy force to attack. It was also sufficiently distant from the wharf precinct to be of little danger to the port if there was enemy action.

The site chosen was on the southern slopes of the Mt Whitfield Range (Mt Islay), adjacent to the recreation reserve. Part of the site was located within a quarry reserve (R.903), part within the recreation reserve (R.267 - now known as Flecker Botanical Gardens) and part on a disused railway reserve. Three large concrete and two large steel fuel tanks were built and commissioned for use by the Royal Australian Navy and the United States Navy in 1943. Up to eight tanks were planned but only five were constructed.

The Allied Works Council, established in February 1942 to co-ordinate civilian construction of Allied military defence facilities in Australia, undertook site preparation and construction of the tanks, auxiliary buildings, bunds and underground pipeline.

The first two tanks were built on the former railway reserve on the north side of Collins Avenue. This land had been leased privately prior to the war and two small buildings were demolished to make way for Tank 2, which lay on the former railway alignment. Tank 1 was constructed on the site of the former Edge Hill railway station. Because these tanks were intended to hold dieseline they were constructed in plate steel, sourced from Broken Hill Pty Ltd. There were significant delays during construction, with correspondence between Queensland Main Roads, Allied Works Council and the Australian Navy revealing the frustration of all concerned in a project that was considered vital to the Allied war effort. Confusion as to where the steel tanks were to be sited, a lack of graders and poor planning hindered construction. Adjacent to tanks 1 and 2 a small pump house was constructed and an underground fuel pipeline was laid from the pump house along the former Cairns-Herberton railway embankment and under the streets of North Cairns to Trinity Wharf.

South of Collins Avenue, opposite Tanks 1 and 2 and on the former railway alignment, a fire station (garage) and foam tank were constructed.

Tanks 3–5 were sited further west, on the former quarry located partly within the recreation reserve and partly within a quarry reserve. This area was already part excavated. Further excavation, including removal of a rocky outcrop, was undertaken during the second half of 1943 to create a level site for tanks 3–5.

Tanks 3–5 were sited away from the first two tanks for several reasons. Firstly the landscape was prohibitive and part of the hill had to be removed, with the core left for camouflage, before all five tanks could be constructed. Secondly, having tanks 3–5 located at some distance from tanks 1–2 decreased risk to the whole installation. Thirdly, existing mature trees and the topography could be capitalised on to camouflage tanks 3–5 (tanks 1 and 2 relied on heavy steel cables and netting material as camouflage).

Because tanks 3–5 were intended for the storage of crude oil they were constructed in reinforced concrete. This was hand-poured by a team of contractors from Melbourne, with some workers inscribing their names in the concrete bunds surrounding the tanks. A second pump house was constructed adjacent to tanks 3–5, and an underground fuel pipeline was laid from this pump house south east across the adjacent recreation reserve to join the pipeline from tanks 1 and 2 along the disused railway embankment. The former fuel pipeline still runs under north Cairns.

In March 1944 the Commonwealth government requisitioned part of the quarry reserve above tanks 3–5 to establish an observation and communications post for the protection of the fuel storage tanks below.

After the war the Commonwealth removed the structures associated with the observation post on Mt Islay, but decided to retain the fuel storage tanks for their intended purpose. In the late 1940s and early 1950s the Commonwealth formalised its occupation of the land, gaining title to Lot 346 (tanks 1–2), Lot 348 (fire station and foam tank) and Lot 349 (tanks 3–5) and taking up an easement over the pipeline (Lot 95A) as far south as Little Street. The tanks continued to be used for fuel storage by the Australian Navy and private fuel companies. Tank 1 was leased to Caltex from 1957 and the Australian Meat and Grazing Company leased tank 2 from November 1958, to store molasses.

In 1964 work was undertaken on Tank 2 to repair damage from the molasses and Tank 1 was reconstructed. A new roof, supported on four extra steel poles, was constructed over the original, which is still visible from inside the tank. The original timber pole supports also survive in situ.

Tank 4 became inoperable in 1976 when it began leaking crude oil. Caltex continued use of at least one of the tanks until 1983 and the Australian Navy used the remainder until 1987.

In 1991 Cairns City Council purchased all 5 tanks, but not the pipeline, from the Australian Government, and the land was transferred to the council. In 1995 tanks 3–5 were refurbished as the **Tanks Arts Centre**, hosting art exhibitions, performing artists, children's workshops and markets. The Tanks Arts Centre is a unit of the Cairns Regional Council and is situated adjacent to the Cairns Botanic Gardens. The centre's facilities include a contemporary art gallery, music space and a theatre space. Programs include concerts, theatre programs, art exhibitions, adult and children's workshops, films and comedy events.

## Description

The former WWII RAN Fuel Installation at Edge Hill is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the original port of Cairns, in the foothills of the Mt Whitfield Range. The installation, built into the side of Mt Islay, comprises five large fuel tanks (three in concrete, two in steel), earth and concrete bunds, two pump houses, a fire station (garage), foam tank and part of a disused railway embankment, located within three non-contiguous land parcels. Associated with the installation is a fuel pipeline owned by the Australian Government, which cannot be included in the Queensland Heritage Register entry for the former WWII RAN Fuel Installation.

### Site 1: Tanks 1 and 2 (Lot 346 on RP711610)

Land parcel 346/RP711610 is located on the north side of Collins Avenue near the eastern entrance to the Flecker Botanical Gardens, on a former railway reserve. It contains tanks 1 and 2, a pump house, an earth bund and a concrete bund.

Tanks 1 and 2 are welded steel circular structures set on concrete foundations. Tank 1 has external steel stairs and pipe fixtures have been removed. Floor panels, roof cladding and steel roof framing have been replaced. Air vents and a doorway have been cut into the side of the tank.

Tank 2 is the northernmost tank and remains relatively intact. The outlet service pipes and internal timber uprights and ceiling are intact. The primary modification is the replacement of the roofing with "Spandex" cladding and the addition of a galvanised or Zincalume "collar" immediately blow the roofline.

There is a bund of formwork concrete, approximately 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) in height, around Tank 1. This is topped with three strands of barbed wire strung between angled metal posts. Tank 2, which is situated on higher land than tank I, has an earth bund faced around the base with dry-stone rubble, roughly coursed. To the west/south west of the tanks a pump house is situated close to the Collins Avenue road alignment, outside the bunds. This is a small, single-storeyed, in rendered masonry building with a gambrel roof clad in corrugated iron and steel sheeting (possibly replacing corrugated fibrous cement sheeting). The structure rests on a concrete slab. In the front wall there are windows and a pair of large double doors opening to Collins Avenue.

### Site 2: Support structures (Lot 1 on RP17796)

Land parcel 1/RP17796 is located on the south side of Collins Avenue, opposite Tanks 1 and 2, on part of the original Cairns-Herberton Railway alignment. It contains two small former support structures associated with the WWII RAN Fuel Installation: a fire station (garage) and foam tank.

The former fire station is located on the western side of this allotment close to the Collins Avenue road alignment. It is a small, singled-storeyed, gable-roofed garage clad with fibrous-cement sheeting on the walls and corrugated fibrous-cement sheeting on the roof. It has a skillion-roofed side extension, the walls of which are clad in corrugated steel and the roof in corrugated galvanised iron. The whole rests on a concrete slab. The front elevation principally comprises three sets of double garage doors -one in the gabled section and two in the skillion side extension - opening onto Collins Avenue. The former fire station was demolished in late 2006 to make way for the realignment of Collins Avenue.

Also on this land parcel, but separated from the fire station by the former railway embankment, is the former foam tank. The tank is rectangular is shape, of pressed metal with a flat galvanised iron roof supported on timber framing. The whole rests on a brick base that in turn sits on a concrete slab. At the rear the slab extends beyond the current structure, where there are the brick base remnants of other partitions. A metal pipe is connected to the top of one of the walls of the tank and extends into the ground. It has a tap and stop- cock mid-way along its length.

### Site 3: Tanks 3, 4 and 5 (Lot 349 on RP715416 and Lot 402 on SP201236)

Land parcel 349/RP715416 is located on the north side of Collins Avenue approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) west of tanks 1 and 2, on a former quarry site. It contains tanks 3, 4 and 5, a concrete bund, a former foam shed and a former pump house. This site has been redeveloped as the Tanks Art Centre. Tanks 3, 4 and 5 are reinforced concrete structures on concrete slabs. Tank 3 is easternmost and is used for performing arts. Large holes have been cut into the walls of the tank, one for access and one opening onto an outside stage facing a grassed amphitheatre. Roofing materials and internal fittings have been replaced.

Tank 4 is located in the centre of the site, facing the gated entrance to the Tanks Art Centre. It is used as a gallery and has recent interior wall partitions to facilitate art displays. Doors and ventilation holes have been cut into the walls of the tank. Part of the early Trinity Wharf has been placed inside the tank as a sculptural feature. The fabric consists of heavy timber logs with oyster encrustations and industrial scale links and chain. This sculpture forms a tangible link between Trinity Wharf and the naval fuel storage tanks, reflecting the physical link via the underground pipeline.

Tank 5 is westernmost and has had similar modifications to tanks 3 and 4. It has openings for ventilation and access cut into the walls and has had roofing materials replaced.

A bund of formwork concrete about 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) in height extends along Collins Avenue for the length of the Tanks Arts Centre, overgrown with vegetation such as trees and orchids. Large figs (Ficus spp.) and other tropical species contribute to the landscape within the Tanks Art Centre.

Just outside the bund, close to the Collins Avenue road alignment and just to the east of the entrance to the Tanks Arts Centre, is a former pump house of similar construction to the pump house associated with tanks 1 and 2. It is a small, single-storeyed building in rendered masonry, with a gambrel roof clad in corrugated fibrous-cement sheeting. It functions as the administration building for the arts centre.

A second foam shed is located in the south western corner of Lot 349 just outside the bund wall and facing Collins Avenue. Sharing the same dimensions as the foam shed on Lot 1 RP17796, and resting on a brick base sitting on a concrete slab, this shed has been modified over time. Double doors have been created in the western wall to allow the shed to be used for storage purposes.

## Heritage listing

WWII RAN Fuel Installation was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 2 February 2007 having satisfied the following criteria.

**The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland's history.**

The former WWII RAN Fuel Installation is important in demonstrating the impact of WWII on far north Queensland. Its construction was given the highest priority under National Security regulations. Its strategic location in the foothills of the Mt Whitfield Range, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the port and with dense surrounding vegetation, demonstrates the importance of selecting a secure location for the storage of naval fuel supplies during times of war.

**The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland's cultural heritage.**

The installation is a rare surviving purpose-built WWII Naval fuel storage facility associated with the Pacific war and located in an urban setting.

**The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.**

The installation, which comprises five large fuel tanks, two pump houses, concrete and earth bunds and ancillary structures (including a fire station and foam tank), is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of its type. The complex reveals information about construction techniques, materials, form, design and location of structures specifically designed for storage of naval fuel in 1943. Because of its relative intactness, Tank 2 is particularly noted for this criterion.

**The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.**

The tanks in particular demonstrate elements of form, scale and material that contribute to the aesthetic significance of the site. Tanks 1 and 2 contain aesthetic value as industrial ruins in an urban environment; the scale, circular form and rusting exteriors form the main aesthetic elements. Tanks 3, 4 and 5 contain high aesthetic values as industrial ruins in a heavily vegetated urban environment. Vegetation such as Ficus spp. and orchids contribute to the aesthetic values of the place.

**The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.**

The installation has a special association with the work of the Allied Works Council, which made a substantial contribution to the construction of defence facilities in Queensland, particularly in northern Queensland and often in difficult terrain, during WWII.

title: Goethe-Nationalmuseum

abstract: The Goethe-Nationalmuseum is a museum devoted to the German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in the town of Weimar in Germany. Originally comprising the Goethe House, where Goethe lived intermittently for 50 years from 1782 to 1832, the museum was founded on 8 August 1885 as a result of the will of Goethe's last living heir, his grandson Walther von Goethe, who left the Goethe House to the state. After the Land of Thuringia was formed, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum, along with several buildings erected during the classical age and the Weimar palaces, became the property of Thuringia. In the 1920s, more Weimar buildings were assigned to the Goethe-Nationalmuseum. In 1953, these buildings became the property of the "Nationale Forschungs- und Gedenkstätten der klassischen deutschen Literatur in Weimar, NFG". Since October 1991, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum belongs to the "Klassik Stiftung Weimar" which succeeded the NFG. It administers the main house and 22 other historical houses and museums throughout and around the Weimar municipal area.

The **Goethe-Nationalmuseum** is a museum devoted to the German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in the town of Weimar in Germany. Originally comprising the Goethe House, where Goethe lived intermittently for 50 years from 1782 to 1832, the museum was founded on 8 August 1885 as a result of the will of Goethe's last living heir, his grandson Walther von Goethe, who left the Goethe House to the state.

After the Land of Thuringia was formed, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum, along with several buildings erected during the classical age and the Weimar palaces, became the property of Thuringia. In the 1920s, more Weimar buildings were assigned to the Goethe-Nationalmuseum. In 1953, these buildings became the property of the "Nationale Forschungs- und Gedenkstätten der klassischen deutschen Literatur in Weimar, NFG" (national research establishments and memorials of German classical literature in Weimar). Since October 1991, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum belongs to the "Klassik Stiftung Weimar" (foundation of Weimar classicism) which succeeded the NFG. It administers the main house and 22 other historical houses and museums throughout and around the Weimar municipal area.

## Exhibits and research

The Goethe-Nationalmuseum consists of Goethe's residential building and the "Goethe-Museum". This museum is situated in an extension that was built in 1935 next to the house. The exhibits largely consist of Goethe's collections in the domains of arts and natural science, his library, and about 2,000 drawings he did himself. The collection comprises about 100,000 exhibits and focuses on the period of Weimar Classicism.

In Goethe's residential building, situated at the Weimar place "Frauenplan", visitors can view the rooms in which he and his wife, Christiane Vulpius, lived, at Goethe's study and library, the reception room, the rooms where the art collection was stored, and the garden. The house also contains research facilities, including the "Studiensaal", an institution used during the age of Goethe which is similar to a congress or conference centre today. In 1998 the house was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with other buildings and sites associated with Weimar Classicism, because of their exceptional architecture and testimony to Weimar's influence as a cultural hub during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

title: Moments of Endearment

abstract: Moments of Endearment is a 1998 till 1999 Hong Kong modern comedy drama produced by TVB, starring Nick Cheung, Miriam Yeung, Paul Chun, Louisa So, Michael Tse in main roles and Kingdom Yuen, Evergreen Mak, Sherming Yiu, Mary Hon, Kwok Fung, Chan Man Na, Joseph Lee Kwok Lun, Felix Lok in supporting roles. The Chinese title of the drama literally translate to "Not Afraid to be The Father-in-law". The series is produced by well known and long time TVB producer Mui Siu Ching. It began airing weekly on TVB's Jade channel from December 21, 1998 till January 15, 1999, in its 7:30 to 8:30 PM time slot with 20 episodes total. Moments of Endearment is both Nick Cheung and Miriam Yeung's first roles as the main leads. Previously Nick Cheung starred as 3rd or 4th co-star in a series. Mirium Yeung was a newcomer at that time with only minor roles in previous TVB dramas.
