[StartYear]. Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Tablelands Regional Council area. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Tablelands Regional Council area. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one. Page 3 of 77 Oops! There seems to be an error on this page.

Many townships were established in the 1880s. Growth took place from the late 1800s through to the early 1900s, aided by the extension of the railway line from Cairns.

  • Holocene Geomagnetic Secular Variation Records from North-Eastern Australian Lake Sediments
    Geophys. J. R. astr. Soc. (1985) 81, 103-120 Holocene geomagnetic secular variation records from north-eastern Australian lake sediments c.G. Constable*and M. w. McElhinny?Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Accepted 1984 September 21. Received 1984 April 25 Summary. Secular variation records have been obtained from cores from Lakes Barrine and Eacham, two north-eastern Australian volcanic crater lakes. The results from several cores have been stratigraphically correlated and then stacked and smoothed. The chronology provided by radiocarbon dating indicates that the Lake Eacham sequence spans the last 5700 calendar years. The time-scale for the Lake Barrine record is less weil constrained but it appears to cover about 1600 to 16 200yr BP. VGP paths for the sites show two periods of anticlockwise motion between about 5710 and 3980 BP and 10500 and 8800 BP. These times correspond to periods of anticlockwise motion in south-eastern Australian records (Barton & McElhinny) and Argentine records (Creer et al.), to within the uncertainties of the assigned time-scales. Introduction Under suitable circumstances fine grained material deposited in lake sediments can provide a record of the ambient geomagnetic field in its depositional or post-depositional remanent magnetization (DRM or PDRM). This record serves to extend knowledge about the geomagnetic field back beyond the age of the earliest historical records, which only span a few centuries in most parts of the world. The sedimentary record is continuous (unlike archaeomagnetic records), but much poorer in quality than that obtained from observatory instruments because of the smoothing inherent in the signal recording process.
