ISBN 978 1 74232 258 2 DECC 2009/332 FOREWORD Sherwood Nature Reserve is located approximately 40 kilometres south-east of Grafton in northern NSW and encompasses 5,904 hectares. Sherwood Nature Reserve is part of a regionally important system of protected areas and conserves plant species and communities representative of the Kangaroo Creek sandstone geology as well as a regionally significant sub-tropical rainforest remnant and locally significant old growth forest. There are 32 plant species of conservation significance recorded in the reserve, including 11 species listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act. The varied vegetation communities support a diverse range of resident vertebrate fauna, and provides important seasonal habitat for a number of nomadic and migratory species. More than 50 species of conservation significance are recorded or predicted to occur in the reserve. Apart from numerous cultural sites and stories relating to ceremonial complexes, an Aboriginal Place known as Miimiga Gaungan is located within the southern portion of the reserve.

  • Coffs Harbour Sediment Modelling and Investigation
    COFFS HARBOUR SEDIMENT MODELLING AND INVESTIGATION Luke McAvoy Undergraduate Engineer (Civil) Griffith School of Engineering, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Daniel Rodger Senior Engineer Water Technology Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Water Technology has teamed with Griffith University as a part of the Industrial Affiliates Program to complete a Sediment Modelling Investigation for Coffs Harbour. The harbour at Coffs Harbour has been infilling with sediment since breakwall construction and reclamation linked two nearshore islands with the mainland in the 1920s, interrupting the Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) pathway. The harbour has become a sand sink; sand is entering the harbour and then cannot be removed by natural processes. Following on from previous reports from Carley (2005) and Lord (1984), the investigation has used the latest numerical modelling software, volumetric analysis programs and analytical methods for LST estimation to investigate the effects of the harbour on sediment transport. The effect of the breakwall orientation on wave height and particle velocity for different incident wave directions was investigated using a MIKE 21 Flexible-Mesh Spectral Wave model. The model predicted bottom water particle velocities throughout the harbour and mapped potential accumulation hotspots and sediment pathways. Bathymetric surveys spreading 118 years were analysed with the volumetric analysis program 12D Model. The results showed sand accumulating within the harbour in the lee of the eastern breakwall after its construction, as predicted in the MIKE model. This shoal built up to a uniform level before extending across the entire width of the harbour. Each periodic bathymetric comparison showed the sediment extending further within the harbour as a „wave‟.

  • A List of Australia's Big Things
    A List of Australia's big Things Drawn from the Wikipedia article Australia's Big Things Australian Capital New South Wales Victoria Territory Western Australia South Australia Tasmania Northern Territory Australian Capital Territory Name Location Notes Located in the Belconnen Fresh Food Giant Markets, the Giant Mushroom shelters a Mushroom Belconnen children's playground. It was officially launched in 1998 by the ACT Chief Minister. Located at the main entrance to Giant Owl Belconnen town centre, the statue cost Belconnen $400,000 and was built by Melbourne sculptor Bruce Armstrong.[3] New South Wales Name Location Notes A bull ant sculpture designed by artist Pro Hart, which was erected in 1980 and originally stood at the Stephens Creek Hotel. It was moved to its current location, Big Ant Broken Hill next to the Tourist Information Centre in Broken Hill, after being donated to the city in 1990. Located in the middle of an orchard about 3km north of Batlow, without public Big Apple Batlow access. Only its top is visible from Batlow- Tumut Road, as it is largely blocked by apple trees. Big Apple Yerrinbool Visible from the Hume Highway Big Avocado Duranbah Located at Tropical Fruit World. Located alongside the Kew Visitor Information Centre. The original sculpture The Big Axe Kew was replaced in 2002 as a result of ant induced damage. This 1/40 scale model of Uluru was formerly an attraction at Leyland Brothers World, and now forms the roof of the Rock Restaurant. Technically not a "Big Big Ayers North Arm Cove Thing" (as it is substantially smaller than Rock the item it is modelled on), the Rock Restaurant is loosely grouped with the big things as an object of roadside art.

  • Macrofaunal Community Structure of Beaches in Northern New South Wales, Australia
    © CSIRO Australia 1998 Mar. Freshwater Res.. 1998,49 , 47-53 Macrofaunal community structure of beaches in northern New South Wales, Australia Nicole Hacking Division o f Zoology. School o f Biological Sciences. University o f New England. Armidale. NSW 2351. Australia Abstract. Macrofaunal community composition of ten exposed sandy beaches in northern New South Wales, Australia, appeared to correlate with beach morphodynamic state even though the data represented sampling at only a single time. Better results were obtained by using the Beach State Index (BSI) rather than the dimensionless fall velocity (Q). Species number and abundance significantly increased as the BSI value increased, whereas biomass was not correlated with BSI. The New South Wales beaches had a higher species number and abundance relative to BSI than did beaches in a published review of beaches around the world. Introduction contained in the surf zone. In contrast, reflective beaches, Macrofaunal communities of Australian beaches have displaying coarse sediment and low waves, are considered been studied by Dexter (1983, 1984, 1985), McLachlan and low-energy beaches.
