Context & Approach_______________________________________________________ This document presents an Initial Conservation Policy for the historic heritage of the Springs Precinct, Wellington Park, Tasmania. The Initial Conservation Policy is the first step in assessing the cultural heritage values and providing heritage conservation advice for the Springs as a whole. A more comprehensive Conservation Management Plan is to be developed for the Springs in the longer term. The aim of the Initial Conservation Policy is to provide guidance in relation to the sound conservation and management of the historic heritage values of the Springs area in the short term as the history of use of the Springs has created significant cultural heritage values in the area. The Initial Conservation Policy is based on currently available information with some additional research having been undertaken in areas for which there was unacceptably limited information (ie, the history, physical remains and social values). The need for historic heritage conservation policy for the Springs arises from the need to manage the extensive, but previously poorly known, historic heritage values in an area that is also the primary development and use focus in Wellington Park. This is particularly critical given the reserved land management context of the Springs and Mt Wellington more generally for which the primary management objectives are the protection of the natural and cultural values and the maintenance of water quality, with use needing to be consistent with the protective goals. Historical Background_________________________________________________________ The historic heritage values of the Springs result from its peculiar physical context as a natural bench approximately half way up the Hobart face of Mt Wellington which rises to over 1,200m and forms a dramatic, native forest cloaked backdrop to Hobart. This combination of factors has caused the Springs to have been a focus of European historic activity on the western outskirts of Hobart since settlement as a source of clean water and as a destination and important base for visitors, mainly for recreational and nature appreciation activities. The first documented European activity in the area was the capture of water from the series of small springs in the area in 1831 as part of Hobart's first water supply and probably the first town water supply development in Australia. The Springs still provides clean drinking water to Hobart. Known recreational use of the Springs began in the 1830s, with the access created by the 1831 diversion appearing to be a catalyst. The recreational use grew steadily to the early 1900s1 as new tracks were developed to make access to the major scenic features easier, in particular the Wellington Falls Track and the Icehouse Track in the 1840s and a carriageway from Fern Tree to the Springs in the late 1880s. Over its period of use the Springs has continued to be a focus for visitors to the mountain, as a destination, a meeting place or a halfway place. As part of this there has been ongoing development of low-key recreational infrastructure, mainly shelter sheds, the first of which appear to have been erected at Lady Jane Franklin's request in c.1839. There has also been provision of refreshments and accommodation for visitors for much of the history of recreation at the Springs. In 1859 the Woods family became the first residents of the Springs, providing refreshments and simple accommodation for visitors to the Mountain. In the early 1890s the Gadd family replaced the Woods family at the Springs and continued the tradition of providing refreshments to visitors (but not accommodation). In 1907 the Springs Hotel, designed by 1 Around 9,500 people were recorded as visiting at the Springs over the summer of 1904-05. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The Springs Initial Conservation Policy A Wellington Park Management Trust Report McConnell, A. (August 2007) ii Alan Cameron Walker, was built as a mountain 'resort', to promote tourism to Tasmania, which was at the time being promoted as the 'pre-eminent health resort' in Australia. The Springs Hotel also took over the role of providing refreshments to walkers and other visitors, and operated until it was burnt in the 1967 bushfires which extensively burnt out the Springs area. With the advent of Henry Woods and Charles Gadd, a tradition of caretaking was created on Mt Wellington, and Gadd's appointment as a Ranger by the Hobart City Council in 1891 was the first such appointment and the start an important management initiative that continued until the mid- 1900s. Charles Gadd and a daughter, Edith, also staffed the Springs weather observatory which was one of a pair of stations (the other was at the Pinnacle) which was set up in 1895 by Clement Wragge, a renowned meteorologist, to make more accurate weather forecasts. The Mt Wellington observatory was the first such weather observatory in the southern hemisphere and the second in the world. Weather readings have continued to be an important function at the Springs until recently. The Springs was also used as the site of a cosmic ray observatory from 1956 until recently. This observatory was an integral element in the string of cosmic ray observatories that extended from Papua New Guinea to Antarctica. The Springs was also important as a focus of Great Depression employment. In c.1925 a government program to cut firewood on the Mountain was established using the Springs as the base, and in c.1928-1929 a substantial amount of track upgrading and construction was undertaken on the Mountain as a government employment scheme, with the Lenah Valley Track being one of the tracks worked on. In 1931 publicly raised funds enabled a stone shelter and the Exhibition Garden, a rare early native garden (also designed by Alan Cameron Walker), to be constructed, while 'susso' workers, many of whom lived at the Springs Depot, built the road from the Springs to Pinnacle between 1934 and 1937. The use of the Springs changed significantly with the construction of the road from the Springs to the Pinnacle as this enabled visitors to continue with relative ease to the summit. Although the Springs was often bypassed by visitors in cars after the Pinnacle Road was completed, the Springs continued to be used by walkers, sightseers and other visitors, and it is still a popular day use area today for a range of visitors who use the area for sight seeing, picnicking, family parties, performances, bushwalking, snow play, and occasional weddings and memorial services. This long term history of use has left a considerable legacy of cultural heritage values that are multilayered across the full Springs area. Cultural Significance_________________________________________________________ The Springs is considered to have high cultural significance, primarily historical and social significance, as a highly visited and valued area of public open space in a natural, sheltered, relatively flat and accessible location part way up Mt Wellington, and with impressive views both up to the mountain and out across southeast Tasmania; and has been valued continuously for these characteristics since the early days of the European establishment of Hobart through to the present day. These qualities have made it an important meeting place and destination which is an aspect of its significance. The symbolic importance of Mt Wellington (from which the Springs is not differentiated at this level) to Hobart residents, and the large scale natural setting of the Springs on the eastern slope of Mt Wellington contribute importantly to the cultural significance of the Springs. The Springs also contains considerable physical remains relating to its European history of use. Although the physical evidence is largely archaeological and there are no surviving pre-1967 buildings at the Springs, the remains cover the full period and range of use, hence are able to demonstrate the history of the area which is a special part of the history of Mt Wellington. Also, because of the history of continued use primarily for low-key recreation, and the spatially evolving _______________________________________________________________________________________________

  • Geology, Geomorphology and Soils of Wellington Park
    Geology, geomorphology and soils of Wellington Park The geology of Wellington Park forms the physical foundations for the landscape and the soil. Millions of years of erosive processes and change have shaped the area to form the landforms we know today. The foothills feature sedimentary sandstones and mudstones laid down during the Permian Period (230-280 million years ago). These are now visible in the foothills of the Mountain around Fern Tree, South Hobart and Lenah Valley. Creamy white to grey in colour these mudstones and sandstones are visible in horizontal or gently dipping layers, sometimes up to a metre thick. In some places brachiopods and bryozoans may be seen. Sandstones rich in quartz formed during the Triassic (180 -230 million years ago) and covered the mudstones. Today these can be seen above approximately 600m in the cliffs and promontories around the Springs (including Rocky Whelans Cave), Sphinx Rock, Crocodile Rock and Snake Plains. On the western slopes of the Glen Dhu Rivulet val ley the Yellow Cliffs are 50m high and extend for 1km, making it the highest and longest sandstone cliffs in the State. A thick sheet of dolerite intruded during the Jurassic Period 170 million years ago. Shrinkage cracks developed while the molten magma cooled, forming large vertical columns with polygonal cross- sections. Block faulting is in part responsible for the main landform trends of eastern and central Tasmania. Mount Wellington and the Derwent Valley were formed some 150 million years ago by block faulting. This has influenced the erosional development of the size and form of the Wellington Range.

  • Wellington Park Social Values and Landscape Assessment Report
    Wellington Park Management Trust WELLINGTON PARK SOCIAL VALUES AND LANDSCAPE – AN ASSESSMENT Prepared by McConnell, A. March 2012 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – main photo: Mountain Snow [source WPMT] inset photos: :R - Sleeping Beauty [source WPMT] L - Fred Lakin at Lakins Lair [photo: A. McConnell] Explanatory Note This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust as part of a multi-stage assessment of the landscape values of Wellington Park. This assessment focuses on the social values of Wellington Park, in particular those which relate to landscape. The assessment is based on a ‘Community Values Survey’, undertaken in late 2010-early 2011 by means of a short questionnaire that the greater Hobart community generally was encouraged to complete. The geographic scope of the study was the whole of Wellington Park. The aim of this study is to understand to what extent, and in which ways, the community, in particular the Greater Hobart community, value Wellington Park. A core part of the assessment was to assess how the Wellington Park landscape is appreciated in order to contribute to an understanding of the full range of landscape values that are being assessed in the broader Wellington Park Landscape Assessment. Wellington Park has acknowledged important landscape values which have applied since the early days of European settlement of Hobart, yet these have not been previously assessed formally or in detail. The main aim of the overall Wellington Park Landscape Assessment therefore is to provide important landscape values information to assist in managing the Park to meet the objectives of the Wellington Park Management Plan.

  • Link Airlines First Flight to Hobart
    MEDIA RELEASE 5 November 2020 Canberra Airport celebrates first flight to Hobart with Link Airways Today, Canberra Airport celebrates the first flight between Canberra and Hobart since 2013, in partnership with Link Airways. This comes after the Tasmanian Government’s recent announcement to open borders to the ACT from October 26 and to NSW residents from 6 November 2020. Flights have been increasingly popular since the announcement of the new service just 4 weeks ago, with the first four flights now sold out. Link Airways has promptly responded to the demand, adding additional services to assist passengers looking to travel before the end of the year. Canberra Airport’s Head of Aviation, Michael Thomson is pleased with the support for the new service and believes that is another boost for the region in our COVID recovery. “We are delighted to see the steady return of aviation with flights consistently increasing each week as border restrictions ease across Australia and, with more flights and more destinations on offer like Hobart, we are confident that this will continue.” Mr Thomson said. Link Airways Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Major said Link Airways is delighted to expand their network, connecting local Canberrans with Hobart and to offer Hobart residents the opportunity to visit the nation’s capital. “As borders reopen, we’re delighted to be a part of reconnecting loved ones who have been separated due to COVID, as well as supporting the local tourist economies of Canberra and Hobart. The demand for this route has been there from the beginning, so we’re particularly pleased to now facilitate the route.
