Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast. -

Place Names of South Australia: W
W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house.

Gold Creek Reservoir
Heritage Citation Gold Creek Reservoir Key details Addresses At 693A Gold Creek Road, Upper Brookfield, Queensland 4069 Type of place Dam / reservoir Period Victorian 1860-1890 Lot plan L235_S31395; L281_SP259807 Key dates Local Heritage Place Since — 1 January 2004 Date of Citation — March 2011 People/associations Alexander Stewart - The meter house (Architect); John Henderson (Engineer) Date of Citation — March 2011 Page 1 Criterion for listing (A) Historical; (B) Rarity; (D) Representative; (E) Aesthetic; (H) Historical association The Gold Creek Reservoir was created in response to concerns about the Enoggera Reservoir’s ability to provide sufficient water for Brisbane residents. Work commenced in 1882 and on completion in 1885, the reservoir was fourteenth largest dam in Australia, with facilities spread across 80 hectares. The reservoir continued to provide water in conjunction with Brisbane’s other dams until it was decommissioned in 1991. The four predominant features to the Reservoir are the embankment or dam wall, the spillway, the outlet and ancillary structures, including a timber caretaker’s house. Other striking features of the site are the concrete outlet tower, dramatically overscaled steps of the spillway and the meter house, as well as the serene backdrop of the man- made lake and surrounding bush. History In 1879 Brisbane’s sole source of reticulated water was the Enoggera Reservoir, situated some twelve kilometres west of the city. Concerns about Enoggera’s capacity to service Brisbane’s daily peak demand and its long term water supply needs prompted the Brisbane Board of Waterworks to investigate means of improving supply. The Board’s clerk of works, Charles Sigley, prepared a report accordingly and a copy was forwarded to the Colonial Secretary. -

Jl of Civil Eng., Vol. 25, No. 4, Aug., pp. 755-768 & Front Cover (ISSN 0315- 1468). Gold Creek Dam and its Unusual Waste Waterway (1890-1997) : Design, Operation, Maintenance Hubert Chanson Senior Lecturer, Department of Civil Engineering, and R.L. Whitmore Emeritus Professor, The University of Queensland, Brisbane QLD 4072, Australia. Fax : (61 7) 33 65 45 99 Email : [email protected] Abstract : Completed in 1885, the Gold Creek dam is an earthen dam located on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia. The spillway system was refurbished three times, each time to increase the maximum overflow capacity. In 1890, a concrete stepped waterway was built to replace the damaged unlined-rock channel. This staircase chute is an unique structure : it is the first large man-made waste waterway built in Queensland, it is the only stepped weir built in Queensland before 1900, and it is, so far as the writers are aware, the first concrete-stepped spillway built for a large dam. The characteristics of the dam and its unusual stepped spillway are reviewed in a historical context. The design is compared with contemporary structures and present knowledge in stepped spillway design. The authors believe that the Queensland engineers gained expertise from overseas and within Australia for the stepped spillway design. However the selection of concrete for the step construction was made by the local engineers and the reasons behind the decision are not yet understood.
