Monomeith Park Airfield, later known as Bayles Airfield, was a Royal Australian Air Force airfield east of Monomeith, Victoria and south of Bayles, Victoria, Australia during World War II. It was constructed in 1942 as a fighter aerodrome to protect Melbourne and Yallourn, the location of the largest power station in Victoria. The site was selected in March 1942 and the land requisitioned in June of that year. During planning it was described in correspondence as RAAF Monomeith Park although it never carried the status of a base. Construction commenced in October 1942. It was originally intended to have four runways although only two were constructed as the strategic situation in the South West Pacific Area had improved by 1943. In 1944 it was downgraded to an Emergency Landing Ground with just the fenced runways retained by the RAAF. The remainder of the land was returned to the original owner for grazing. It was no longer required after World War II and in 1946 the runways were returned to the original land owner. After the war it was briefly known as Bayles Airfield and used for private light aircraft but the runways deteriorated quickly due to frequent flooding.

Australian Glass Manufacturers Siding, which is also known as Koala Siding, was a railway siding on the South Gippsland railway line in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The siding was the last new siding on the line, being opened during the 1960s. It was the last source of traffic on the line after the withdrawal of the Leongatha passenger service on 24 July 1993. By the mid-1990s, only T, Y and P class diesel locomotives were used on the line due to their low axle loads, with a 15 km/h speed limit applying to parts of the track. This continued until 15 January 1998 when the sand train to the AGM glass works at Spotswood station ceased operation. The track between Nyora and Lang Lang was proposed for an extension for the South Gippsland Tourist Railway. However, the SGR ceased operations in 2015, and the line from Leongatha to Nyora has been dismantled as part of an extension of the Great Southern Rail Trail, and so this is unlikely to occur. Instead, it has been proposed to extend the trail back from Nyora to Cranbourne in the long term. For now, the track will remain disused and overgrown however.
