AROUND THE TRAPS
The Taradale Viaduct is a large
wrought iron box girder bridge over
Back Creek at Taradale, Victoria on the
Bendigo Railway in Victoria Australia. It
was erected as part of the Melbourne,
Mount Alexander and Murray River Railway between 1858 and 1861, and was
at the time one of the largest rail bridges
built in Australia.
Construction of the Bendigo line commenced under the Melbourne, Mount
Alexander and Murray River Railway
Company in 1858, but this private consortium met with financial difficulties
when it was unable to raise sufficient
funds, and was bought out by the Victorian colonial government in 1860 when it
formed
the
Victorian
Railways Department. The design work was
then taken over by Captain Andrew
Clarke, R. E., Surveyor-General of Victoria, with the bridge designs completed
by Bryson and O'Hara. The ironwork for
the bridge was made by Rowland Brotherhood, of Chippenham, Wiltshire, under the supervision of British Railway
engineerIsambard Kingdom Brunel.
[4]
The foundation stone was laid by Mr.
W. S. Urquhart Wednesday 25 September 1861. The contract for the first stage
of the line from Footscray to Sandhurst
(now Bendigo), was let to Cornish and
Bruce for £3,356,937.2s.2d ($6.714 million) with work commencing on 1 June
1858. Completion of the permanent way
was to be by 31 July 1861.
Clarke appointed William O’Hara to design bridges and viaducts, while William
Edward Bryson stated to the Select
Committee of the Legislative Assembly
on Railway Contracts that he had designed most of the large bridges on the
line. Clarke clearly influenced the design
of the railway in setting the standards
for the line. However, this was also a
very costly undertaking, which stretched
the colonial finances and this approach
was later abandoned for more economic
light lines in later Australian Railways.
William Edward Bryson was described
as a Civil Engineer in 1857 when he
was a member of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria. He was also a member of the Royal Society of Victoria 1859
-60 and employed at the "Government
Railway
Office".
He
published
"Resources of Victoria & their development" in 1860 in the Royal Society’s
Transactions. Introduction of heavier locomotives in the 20th century required
strengthening of the bridge with steel
trestles added between the original masonry piers in 1933-1934.
The bridge is included on the Victorian
Heritage Register (VHR Number:
H1595) and the National Trust Register.
The Tuxedo
A little girl was watching her parents
dress for a party in a bar.
When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned: "Daddy, you shouldn't
wear that suit.
"And why not, darling?", the father
asked.
You know that it always gives you a
headache the next morning."
FLAGS : USELESS TRIVIA FACTS

Paraguay's flag has a different design
on each side.
Libya is the only flag made up of just

Switzerland's flag is the direct reverse of
the Red Cross Flag and is the only
square flag.
Denmark's is the oldest unchanged flag
in the world.
The USA flag has changed designs
more often than any other country.
The Union Jack of Great Britain features
on more country's flags than any other.
The Italian Flag was designed by the
Frenchman Napoleon.
The flag of Cyprus is the only one that
has the outline of the country on it.
The Union Jack flag was created in
1801.
Mrs. Betsy Ross reputedly made the
first American flag.
The Blue Peter flag is raised before a
ship sets sail.
The Queen's personal flag is known as
the Royal Standard.
A Vexillologist is an expert on the history
of flags.
The flag's of the Netherlands and Luxembourg are identical.
The Mexican flag features a snake and
an eagle.
The Irish flag includes the colour Orange which represents the tiny minority

Robert Peary was once honoured for

The American flag first flew over a foreign fort in Libya over Fort Derne.
"Shipwreck" Kelly (1885-1952) was famous for sitting for long periods on top
of flag poles and reportedly sat on one
particular flag pole for 49 days.
The 50th star on the U.S flag was added on 4th July 1960.
The Union Jack originating in 1801 is
made up from the countries of England,
Scotland and Northern Ireland and does
not include Wales which because of its
status as a principality cannot be included on the flag.
In 1194 A.D., Richard I of England introduced the Cross of St. George, a red
cross on a white ground, as the National Flag of England.
On 12 April 1606, the National Flags of
Scotland and England were united for
use at sea, thus making the first Union
'Jack'. Ashore however, the old flags of
England and Scotland continued to be
used by their respective countries.

When war is declared, it is flown with
the red field on top.
