  • Groundwater, Mineral Resources and Land Stability in the Tasman Peninsula. 1. Groundwater from Fractured Rocks
    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

Edition number of Signed by Richard Bennett Date RICHARD BENNETT OAM 1 PROLOGUE People often tell me how lucky I am to have made a living doing something I love so much. I agree with them. I do love my work. But neither my profession, nor my career, has anything to do with luck. My life, and my mindset, changed forever the day, as a boy, I was taken out to Hartz Mountain. From the summit, I saw a magical landscape that most Tasmanians didn’t know existed. For me, that moment started an obsession with wild places, and a desire to capture the drama they evoke on film. To the west, the magnificent jagged silhouette of Federation Peak dominated the skyline, and to the south, Precipitous Bluff rose sheer for 4000 feet out of the valley. Beyond that lay the south-west coast. I started bushwalking regularly after that, and bought my first camera. In 1965, I attended mountaineering school at Mount Cook on the Tasman Glacier, and in 1969, I was selected to travel to Peru as a member of Australia’s first Andean Expedition. The hardships and successes of the Andean Expedition taught me that I could achieve anything that I wanted.

  • 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.
