The first primary school was started at Paddy's Station by the efforts of Mrs Thomas Verner. There were many children in the Paddy's Station area and Mr and Mrs Verner offered, if a teacher could be provided by the Education Department, a cottage on their property for the venue. All the families in the district supported her efforts and in 1897 Paddy's Bridge School was established. Miss Blanche O. Ayliffe was the first teacher.

In 1900, a stone school residence and schoolroom combined was erected by the Education Department on land donated by Mr Arthur Pratt. The cost of the building was £498, 6 shillings and 6 pence. Children attended the school from both sides of the river, German Town Hill Road, Reeves Plains, as far south as Mr Jack Secomb's, Mr Len Simpkin's and the Mallala road. In 1921 the name 'Paddy's Bridge' was changed to Korunye as was the bridge and railway station. When the school closed in 1966 the pupils were taken daily by Education Department bus to the Mallala School. The building still stands and is a private residence.

It's a track crossing at the meeting of four (five?) roads. For safety they've combined all four into one crossing.

MONA is not the only driving force for tourism and development in town but its impact has been pronounced, varied and widespread.

Directly or indirectly, a good deal of Hobart's vitality is the work of the MONA effect — it has changed the way outsiders think about and act towards Hobart.

The owners of heritage-listed Customs House are taking the Brisbane City Council to court after it approved construction of a 47-storey high-rise building next door.
