HOBART WALKING CLUB INC. Circular 789 January 2014 General Meeting Friday 7 February at Philip Smith Centre at 7.30 pm Entertainment: John and Vonda Kerrison – Walk L Tour du Mont Blanc Website: www.hobartwalkingclub.org.au Email: [email protected] Postal Address: GPO Box 753, Hobart TAS 7001 Facebook: hobart walking club Proudly printed by 2 JANUARY 2014 Club Aims The Club encourages walking, skiing and similar outdoor activities, and promotes interest in the preservation of flora, fauna and natural scenery. Joining the Club Persons aged 16 years and over can apply for prospective membership. To become a full member, three qualifying walks and an Essential Skills Day have to be completed within 12 months of joining. For further details visit the Club website or contact the Membership Officer, Geoff O’Hara (03 6272 1225). Risk The Club is a group of people who enjoy bushwalks and similar activities, with trips organised on a voluntary basis by and for Club members. Every trip coordinator is an unpaid volunteer who organises the walk for fellow Club members. They are not paid professionals with commensurate training and responsibility. Thus each trip member is responsible for their own safety, suitability of equipment and personal skills. Members and visitors take part in Club organised activities at their own risk. The Club does not offer qualified first aid. Club activities involve inherent risks and dangers. The published Walk Previews grade the level of difficulty and distance, and may indicate some risks. However, unanticipated and unavoidable hazards can occur which result in serious injury or property loss/damage. For example, weather can be unpredictable and change quickly, tracks become treacherous and accidents can happen. Liability Members acknowledge and agree that in applying to become a member (of whatever grade) or renewing that membership of the Club that the nature of the activities carried out by the Club and by participating voluntarily, freely and at their own risk, are such that it would be unreasonable for the Club or any of its members acting on its behalf to be in any way responsible for any injury, or death, to members or to damage to their property and members hereby, to the full extent permitted by law, waive all of their legal rights of action against and fully release the Club for loss, damage or injury or death or loss or damage to property howsoever arising out of or in relation to member’s participation in the activities conducted by the Club including without limitation, liability for any negligent or tortuous Act or omission or breach of statutory duty on the part of the Club, its office bearers or agents. Insurance and Legal Matters The Club insurance covers public liability, excluding member-to-member events, during Club activities. Members' vehicles are not covered. For further information write to the Secretary on constitutional or legal matters and the Treasurer on insurance matters.

  • A Review of Geoconservation Values

    A Review of Geoconservation Values

    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

SOUTH COAST OF TASMANIA 193002 .' bY"''' J. Toy10< JMfCROFflMEq) INTRODUCTION Twelvetrees (1~I5) reconnoitred the geology between Recherche Bay and New River, on the southern coast of Tasmania (see map fig. 1). His journey "was designed with the object of ascertaining the geological structure of the country, and especially for the purpose of examining alleged indications of the existence of petroleum near Rocky Boat Harbour and Hew River'. He reported Tertiary dep­ osits at Rocky Boat Plains which is 2 miles east of the mouth of the New River. He also collected specimens of stranded coastal bitumen. These Tertiary deposits have not been examined since his trip nor have samples been available for micropalaeontological and palynological examination. Since the work of Sprigg & Woolley (1963), interest has been renewed in the bitumen which has been stranded on the southern Australian coast line and bitumen speci­ mens from southern Tasmania would have been useful for comparison. Thus, I decided it would be worthwhile as a "vacation project" in a piece of country I'd always intended to visit. ~. This project received encouragement from Mr. P.T. Stafford of Esso Exploration Australia, Inc., whose company hold permits off the southern coast of Tasmania.
