  • A Compilation of Place Names and Their Histories in Tasmania
    LA TROBE: Renamed Latrobe. LACHLAN: A small farming district 6 Km. south of New Norfolk. It is on the Lachlan Road, which runs beside a river of the same name. Sir John Franklin, in 1837, founded the settlement, and used the christian name of Governor Macquarie for the township. LACKRANA: A small rural settlement on Flinders Island. It is 10 Km. due east of Whitemark, over the Darling Range. A district noted for its dairy produce, it is also the centre of the Lackrana Wildlife Sanctuary. LADY BARRON: The main southern town on Flinders Island, 24 Km. south ofWhitemark. Situated in Adelaide Bay, it was named in honour of the wife of a Governor of Tasmania Sir Harry Barron. Places with names, which are very similar often, created confusion. LADY BAY: A small bay on the southern end of DEntrecasteaux Channel, 6 Km. east of Southport. It is almost deserted now except for a few holiday shacks. It was once an important port for the timber industry but there is very little of the wharf today. It has also been known as Lady's Bay. LADY NELSON CREEK: A small creek on the southern side of Dilston, it joins with Coldwater Creek and becomes a tributary of the Tamar River. The creek rises inland, near Underwood, and flows through some good farming country. It was an important freshwater supply in the early days of the colony. LAGOONS: An alternative name for Chain of Lagoons. It is 17 Km. south ofSt.Marys on the Tasman Highway. A geographical description of the inlet, which is named Saltwater Inlet, when the tide goes out it, leaves a "chain of lagoons".

  • Huon Valley Council, Lords Quarry Upgrade, Upper Woodstock
    Huon Valley Council - Lords Quarry Upgrade, Upper Woodstock Supplement to Environmental Effects Report dated 11 January 2018 as required by Environment Protection Authority under EMPCA Section 27E Lords Quarry – Environmental Effects Report – Supplement Version Date Recipient Organisation Revision 1 19 April 2018 Environment Protection Authority Table 1 – Additional information required by the EPA Board Issue Further information requested Response Noise Model noise impacts by quarry The Noise Study (Noise Vibration Consulting (a), December 2017) has been expanded and replaced with (Noise operations when extraction Vibration Consulting (b), March 2018). The new study takes into account noise from trucks using the access road from progresses to the upper bench the boundary of the Huon Valley Council owned land to the quarry. The upgraded study also includes an assessment as predicted by future mining of the likely noise impact of operating the crusher on the highest bench formed as a possible future expansion of the plan quarry. The results of the new study show those residences located close to the quarry (within 1 000 metres) will receive a maximum predicted noise level using the current layout (including truck on the access road) of 40 dBA and a maximum predicted noise level from the proposed expanded quarry layout of 40 dBA at a different site. The Quarry Code of Practice (Environment Protection Authority, May 2017) sets a maximum noise level recorded at a sensitive use (dwelling) during daytime hours (7.00 am to 7.00 pm) as 45 dBA. The predicted noise levels are at least 5 dBA below this level and hence should not cause a nuisance to neighbouring properties.

  • Part Two: Channel and Huon
    PART TWO CHANNEL AND HUON BLACK TUESDAY 50TH ANNIVERSARY V1 - MERE01Z01FC FEBRUARY 7, 1967, was a day of drama, heroism and tragedy that quickly came to be known as Black Tuesday. The most deadly bushfires Tasmania has ever experienced blackened a swath of the island state, leaving 64 people dead, 900 injured and more than 7000 homeless. Some 110 separate fire fronts burnt through 260,000 hectares of southern Tasmania within the space of five hours. Nearly 1300 homes and more than 1700 other buildings were destroyed, and the damage bill amounted to $40 million – nearly half a billion dollars today. One of Australia’s worst natural disasters, Black Tuesday became the yardstick for When these three cars were parked near the carbide factory at Electrona on the morning of February 7, 1967, there had every other Tasmanian bushfire, as well as been a house there to shelter them. This sign was all that remained of St Mary’s Catholic Church the standard by which threatening bushfire at Snug. seasons are judged. To mark the 50th anniversary, the Mercury presents this five-part magazine series, with archival images, retrospective articles and interviews with people who lived through the disaster. Special thanks to Roger McNeice, the Margate, Snug Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Tasmania Fire Service, Geoff Harrisson, Rex Maddock, Jim Marwood, the late Marjory and Colin Woolford, and the family of the late Don Stephens for their assistance. and Electrona Some of the images are being published for the first time, and we welcome your assistance in adding names and details to the Roger McNeice Frosts Rd, was Mrs Fyfe’s house, which began to catch unidentified images featured in these on fire.
