  • PDF of All Abstracts
    Abstracts only Lost in Tasmania’s wilderness karst Arthur Clarke Email: [email protected] From 1962-1995, four young men have disappeared without a trace (never seen again) after traversing separate areas of Tasmania’s southern wilderness karst. During the latter part of this same period, a student teacher and two young high school pupils drowned in Mystery Creek Cave in the far south of Tasmania. To this day, the disappearance of the 15 year old Guy Bardenhagen near Mount Picton in late January 1962 remains a mystery. Bardenhagen was with two fellow YMCA members led by then YMCA Southern Secretary, on a bushwalk from the old Lake Pedder to Geeveston. On January 30 th 1962, the party of four made a detour to climb Mt. Picton, departing from their campsite at North Lake , south of Red Rag Scarp. After lagging behind the others, Bardenhagen failed to reach the summit, but did not return to the camp site. Given the proximity of the known karstified Pre-Cambrian dolomite and nearby pseudokarst, it is possible that Bardenhagen fell into a crevice or vertical opening following his separation from the other walkers. An intense weeklong search failed to locate any sign of Bardenhagen. In mid-October 1969, John Boyle, became lost when separated from three other cavers in the forested sub-alpine dolomite karst on the northeast ridge of Mount Anne, east of Lake Pedder . Reported in the media as a “lost Sydney caver”, the 26 year old Boyle was actually a member of the Tasmanian Caverneering Club (TCC) on a club trip lead by former flatmate Alan Keller.

  • Borenore Karst Conservation Reserve
    BORENORE KARST CONSERVATION RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust April, 2001. This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 2nd April 2001. Acknowledgments: This plan of management was prepared by the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust. Drafting of the plan was undertaken by Kathryn Robinson, in consultation with Ernst Holland, Michael Chalker and Alison Ramsay. The assistance of the Board and staff of the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust and all who made submissions on the exhibited draft plan of management is also gratefully acknowledged. Crown Copyright 2001. Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. ISBN 0 7313 6988 2 FOREWORD Borenore Karst Conservation Reserve is one of four karst conservation reserves managed by the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust. The Trust is responsible to the NSW Minister for the Environment for the care, control and management of Jenolan, Abercrombie, Wombeyan and Borenore Caves in a manner that is environmentally, culturally and commercially sustainable. Borenore Karst Conservation Reserve covers some 136 hectares and is situated 17 km west of the City of Orange on the Orange-Parkes Road. The Reserve contains many representations of the distinctive landform features of karst landscapes including a karst bridge, a small arch, dolines and several caves. The Arch Cave is the main cave visited on the Reserve and, while many of the features in this cave have been damaged over the years, stalagmites and flowstones can still be found. Tunnel Cave is important as a roosting site for the vulnerable Common Bent-winged Bat. The actual cave system is only a small portion of the reservation, the remaining area contains a natural, partially undisturbed woodland community.
