Quarry History
The quarry is located on the western side of Hornsby, very close to the town centre. It is more than 100 metres deep with steep, exposed sides. The site is currently closed because of serious safety concerns and Council is exploring ways to open the site to the public.
The quarry was operated by private businesses from the early 1900s until 2002, when it became unprofitable and Hornsby Shire Council was legally obliged to buy it from CSR Limited. A decision by the Valuer-General meant Council was forced to pay more than $25 million for the site, though Council was able to recover $9 million during later legal proceedings.
The quarry is historically valuable, ecologically important and visually spectacular – all within walking distance of Hornsby’s CBD. It is well-known as the largest volcanic diatreme in the Sydney area. Especially significant is the east face that provides a cross-section of the diatreme, which is seen at only a few sites in the region.The bushland on the site is also significant and includes blue gum high forest, which is listed as an endangered ecological community.
The Higgins family cemetery is also located on the site and is listed as a heritage item of state significance, with burials ranging from 1875 to 1925.
The quarry is being partially filled in to make it safe, using excavated material from the NorthConnex tunnel that is currently being built by the NSW Government to link the M1 and M2 motorways.
Once this is completed Council will begin rehabilitating the site, turning it into a spectacular new open space for recreation and entertainment. These plans are in the early stages and will involve significant community consultation before they are finalised.

Trick or treat Halloween at Melbourne General Cemetery
Melbourne General Cemetery is hosting a Halloween party that is not for the faint of heart.
The 160-year-old Carlton graveyard is throwing open its tombstones and mausoleums on October 31 for a series of seriously spooky public tours.
This new Leader Community Newspapers' video reveals some of the bizarre and terrifying tales about the cemetery's 300,000 `tenants'.

The Artificial Kingdom - Carolyn Dew - Bendigo Art Gallery Exhibition
6 December 2014 - 8 February 2015
Through the inaugural Going Solo program, Carolyn Dew has developed a new body of work for an exhibition exclusive to Bendigo Art Gallery. Throughout her practice, Dew has explored ideas surrounding everyday personal and cultural practices expressed through domestic environments. With this latest photographic series Dew has delved into the creation of memorials in cemeteries in regional Victoria and further afield. Joyful, poignant and at times curious, Dew respectfully captures the permanent and transitional arrangements created by anonymous individuals as they construct environments for loved ones past.
Carolyn Dew is a contemporary photographer, who has studied photography at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at the Victorian College for the Arts. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Melbourne and central Victoria.
Early in her career, Carolyn trained and worked as a preservation photographer within the public collections of the State Library of Victoria and Museum Victoria where photography was contextualised as a collective reflection of social and cultural history. After art school she also joined in the artist run collective movement and began curating small thematically linked exhibitions. These formative experiences continue to influence the work she makes and how it is presented.

Transcript:
About 9 years ago I began to give voice to a lifelong frustration of mine. The frustration was that I cannot answer the question “What do Quakers believe?” I would always answer the questions somewhat defensively. I would say, “it’s kind of hard to know what Quakers believe, but let me tell you what I believe.” Or I would say, “well, it’s hard to know what Quakers believe today but let me tell you what Quakers believed at the beginning.” Or I would say what I thought Quakers believed and I would hope that no one else was listening because I did not want to be overcalled.
And so I had all of those experiences as a lifelong Quaker and I said, “this is for the birds!” We can do better than this.
9 Core Quaker Beliefs
My name is Arthur Larrabee. I’m a member of Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. I live near West Chester, Pennsylvania, very close to Westtown School. My work in the world is the work of teaching and consulting about Quaker decision making.
In attempting to name what I believe are core principles, or core beliefs of the Religious Society of Friends as understood by unprogrammed Quakers, I’m hoping that we would move in the direction of strengthening our faith practice, and strengthening our faith practice with each other and be more clear and affirming of what we’re able to say to the world, what we’re able to carry out into the world.
1. There is a living, dynamic, spiritual presence at work in the world which is both within us and outside of us.
Quakers use many names to describe this spiritual presence. Among the names we use are God, spirit, the light, the inward light, the inner light, Christ, truth, love.
2. There is that of God in everyone.
This statement of belief is similar to the first statement, and Quakers will talk about there being that of God in everyone, and it is the belief that the creator has endowed each person with a measure of the divine essence, and that as a consequence, all of life is sacred and interconnected.
3. Each person is capable of the direct and unmediated experience of God.
Our belief leads us into a form of worship that does not rely on clergy or liturgy or creed. Rather, we come together in the silence. We sometimes refer to our worship as “waiting worship.” Waiting to hear—listen for—the still, small voice within, and listening for that of God—the still, small voice—speaking to us.
4. Our understanding and experience of God is nurtured and enlarged in community.
When we come together in community, each of us brings our own manifestation of the divine energy. When we come together in community, we experience and embrace our diversity; we experience a much larger understanding and vision of God.
5. The Bible is an important spiritual resource, and the life and teachings of Jesus are relevant for us today.
For many of us, the Bible is an inspired record of humankind’s interaction with God through the ages. Quakers find that the truth and the teachings found in the Bible are an inspiration for daily living and also an inspiration for our worship together.
6. The revelation of God’s truth is continuing and ongoing.
Quakers are very clear that the revelation of God’s truth did not end with the writing of the Bible. We believe that God has continued to reveal God’s truth and make God’s will and energy, truth—known to humankind down through the ages, down to the present day.
7. We welcome truth from whatever source it may come.
We find that our experience of worship and our experience of the Divine is enriched by welcoming truth from different sources. We welcome spiritual truth from different sources.

Hidden Bendigo - Old gas works
To the untrained eye the Bendigo Gasworks appears little more than a junk yard.
Forgotten buildings and rusty machinery stand tiredly, a mere memory of the coal gas industry that warmed Australian homes decades ago.
But it is this industry, and the rarity of its preservation in Bendigo, that makes the site much more than just a pile neglected buildings.

Ewings Rd Level Crossing, Avenel
This is the Ewings Rd level crossing in Avenel, on the North East Railway Line, with footage I took in February, April and October 2017
At the time I filmed this crossing, it had:
- A Westinghouse Hybrid bell
- Westinghouse cross-arms
- One marked Westinghouse light facing west and three unmarked Westinghouse lights on the eastern signal, and marked Westinghouse lights on the western signal. The eastern signal has a McKenzie & Holland base, while the western signal has an unmarked base
This crossing has since been upgraded with boom gates, which were installed between March and April 2019.
Before boom gates were installed, this crossing was programmed rather strangely. It was most likely operated by a grade crossing predictor, rather than the usual track circuits, which senses how fast a train is moving. If a train is going slower, it has to get closer to the crossing before the signals activate. Once the signals have activated, if a train stops when approaching the crossing then the signals can 'time out' and will be switched off until the train starts moving again (thanks McK&H Aust for that info). For trains that came from Albury and stopped at Avenel, the crossing activated when the train would pull into the station, and then would 'time out' once the train stopped to let on and off passengers. Once the train restarted moving, the crossing would reactivate. I'm not sure if the new crossing is programmed the same way

50 Worst Level Crossings In Melbourne, Part 1
In 2013, the then opposition leader for the Victorian Government, Labor leader Daniel Andrews, announced that he would remove some of Melbourne’s worst level crossings. In the lead up to the 2014 November election, a list of 50 of level crossings was unveiled. With this in mind, I took it upon myself, as a then 19 year old university student, to travel around Melbourne, filming and documenting all these level crossings before they become a thing of the past… and given Daniel Andrews won the 2014 election, these crossings will be gone sooner rather than later.
So, here is a compilation of footage of these 50 level crossings, with annotations explaining their prioritisation for removal. Links for the info in the annotations are below.
I hope you enjoy this video, because it took a LONG LONG LONG time to complete! I took footage over 6 months, from June 2014 - December 2014. I got additional footage in November 2015, which I used a newer video camera for. I used Sony Vegas Pro for editing the footage I took.

Armstrongs Rd Level Crossing, Seaford, With Mechanical Bells (Before & After Upgrade)
This is the Armstrongs Rd level crossing, in Seaford Vic on the Frankston line, with footage I took back in December 2015, when it had two Westinghouse hybrid bells. Later in 2016, they were replaced with e-bells. The new footage is from December 2016.
Both bells were programmed to sound continuously up until the boom gates rise. The E-bells that replaced them are programmed the same way.
