CSchool of Earth Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic., Australia. DAustralian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, Melbourne, Vic., Australia. ECorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. The wintertime (May–October) precipitation across south-eastern Australia, and the Snowy Mountains, was studied for 22 years (1995–2016) to explore the sensitivity of the relationships between six established climate indices and the precipitation to the orography, both regionally and locally in high-elevation areas. The high-elevation (above 1100 m) precipitation records were provided by an independent network of rain gauges maintained by Snowy Hydro Ltd. These observations were compared with the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) precipitation analysis, a commonly used gridded nationwide product. As the AWAP analysis does not incorporate any high-elevation sites, it is unable to capture local orographic precipitation processes. The analysis demonstrates that the alpine precipitation over the Snowy Mountains responds differently to the indices than the AWAP precipitation. In particular, the alpine precipitation is found to be most sensitive to the position of the subtropical ridge and less sensitive to a number of other climate indices tested.

    Snowy 2.0 Transmission Connection Project EIS Submission-NPA

    The Hon Robert Stokes MP Minister for Planning and Open Spaces By email: https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw government/ministers/minister-for-planning-and-public-spaces 2 April 2021 Dear Minister, Snowy 2.0 Transmission Connection Project Environmental Impact Statement It is half a century since the last major high voltage overhead transmission line was constructed in a NSW National Park. Those years have seen a dismaying deterioration in the state of our environment: a huge increase in loss of native vegetation cover across NSW; increasing numbers of native species and ecological communities sliding towards extinction; and the undeniable signs of climate change in the form of global heating, drought, fire and extreme weather events. As our State’s environment deteriorates the role of National Parks has become increasingly important. National Parks, along with the other reserves that form our Protected Area Network (PAN), are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation and the delivery of ecosystem services such as clean air and water. National Parks help protected threatened species and rare cultural sites, however they play just as important a role in ensuring ‘common’ fauna and flora species remain secure and natural ecosystem processes are maintained. The PAN has never been more important for the environmental sustainability of our State, and National Parks are our most precious legacy to the future. NSW has a special place in the history of National Parks, having created second and third National Parks in the world. From the very first legislation establishing The National Park (now Royal) in 1879, a central tenant has been that extractive industries and industrial infrastructure have no place in National Parks.
  • Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategydownload

    Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategydownload

    Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008–2013 Acknowledgment The Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 recognises that the Park is within landscape that gives identity to Aboriginal people, who have traditional and historical connections to this land. Aboriginal people are recognised and respected as the original custodians of the lands, waters, animals and plants now within the Park. Their living and spiritual connections with the land through traditional laws, customs and beliefs passed on from their ancestors are also recognised. NPWS will continue to be committed to actively engage traditional custodians and relevant Aboriginal organisations, in protecting managing and interpreting the needs of Kosciuszko National Park. The landscapes of Kosciuszko National Park are the sum total of the interactions between the basic natural elements of water, air, rocks, soils, fire, plants and animals. Each of these living and non-living attributes have been altered by thousands of years of human habitation and use which have left behind layers of human artefacts, memories, stories and meanings. The management of these attributes, and the values bestowed upon them, is a complex task and will not always be based upon a complete understanding of the implications of individual management decisions. A precautionary and adaptive approach to management is required - one that appreciates the interconnective and inseparable nature of the elements of the landscape. (NPWS, 2006c pg 37) Kosciusko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Fire Management Strategy was prepared by Jamie Molloy with the assistance of staff from the Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes Regions of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, staff from the Threatened Species Unit, the Reserve Conservation Planning & Performance Unit, and the Public Affairs Division of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

This means that fossickers are not required to obtain consent from holders of mineral exploration licences, and since the Mining Act of 1992 have not been required to hold a fossicking licence. However, fossickers do need to obtain permission from landholders, including government departments such as Forests NSW. You can usually obtain a 12 month no fee permit from Forests NSW. For more information on fossicking in state forests call 1300 655 687. You will find that some areas such as the Flora Reserve at Paddy’s River Dam are closed to fossicking.

  • The Puzzle of the Tooma River Fish-Kills

    The Puzzle of the Tooma River Fish-Kills

    The puzzle of the Tooma River fish-kills Since the late 1980s, landowners have been reporting spasmodic fish-kills in the Tooma River, alpine NSW. Coincidentally, a team of scientists sampled fish and macroinvertebrate faunas of the Tooma River during a 1998 study of the environmental-flow requirements of rivers in the Snowy Mountains region, and found, to their surprise, that the river’s aquatic ecology was in poorer condition than could be expected from the impacts of river regulation alone, and despite good-quality habitats in some areas. An investigation by the science team was unable to define the causes of the fish-kills or the reduced ecological condition. The puzzle remains unsolved. The landowners reported that fish-kills were associated with brief, high river-flows in summer, accompanied by visible bluish colouration in the water. They had observed that the dead fish had been bleeding from the gills. Fish had disappeared from the main river channel, then eventually recolonised. No formal records or investigations were made of the events at the time. The science team considered that the available evidence was consistent with episodic releases of contaminants. After helicopter and ground searches of the catchment, the team concluded that the likely source of contamination was the Deep Creek waste-rock dump left after 1950s tunnelling. An alternative possibility was that sediment flushed from the Tooma Dam during periodic maintenance operations might contain contaminants. The sediment was also likely to deplete downstream dissolved oxygen levels. But investigation during 1998–2001 produced insufficient evidence to either incriminate or exonerate the Deep Creek waste-rock dump.
