  • 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.

  • Visitor Learning Guide
    VISITOR LEARNING GUIDE 1 Produced by The Wilderness Society The Styx Valley of the Giants oers the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most iconic and spectacular forest areas. For decades the Wilderness Society has worked with the broader community to achieve protection for the Styx and we want to share it, and some of its stories, with you. This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the Styx, Tasmania’s forests or World Heritage. Rather, it is designed to share a cross-section of knowledge through simple stories that follow a common theme on each of the identified walks. With its help, we hope you will learn from this spectacular place, and leave knowing more about our forests, their natural and cultural legacy and some other interesting titbits. The Wilderness Society acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional owners and custodians of all Country in Tasmania and pays respect to Elders past and present. We support eorts to progress reconciliation, land justice and equality. We recognise and welcome actions that seek to better identify, present, protect and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage, irrespective of where it is located.

  • Implications for Tasmanian Electricity System of The
    Backroad Connections Pty Ltd ABN: 64 090 245 382 [email protected] (0407) 486-651 www.backroad.com.au Implications for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal to restore Lake Pedder July 2019 Overview The paper analyses the implication for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal by the Lake Pedder Restoration Committee (LPRC) to restore the original Lake Pedder. It provides information on the current contribution of the Gordon Scheme to Tasmanian electricity generation and energy storage and provides some information and estimates on alternatives to replace this generation if the original Lake Pedder was restored. Background The original Lake Pedder was flooded in 1972 as part of an expansion of the Tasmanian hydro-electric scheme. The flooded area created is still officially known as Lake Pedder although the LPRC prefer the name Huon- Serpentine Impoundment. In this paper we will use the term ‘new Lake Pedder’. The new Lake Pedder at 242 sq km is vastly bigger than the original Lake Pedder at 10 sq km. The new Lake Pedder does not have its own hydro-electric generation. Its purpose is to trap and raise the level of the water that would otherwise flow down the Huon and Serpentine rivers. The water is raised to the level where it flows through a channel created at McPartlan Pass into the Gordon Dam and contributes to the storage and generation of the Gordon Scheme. As a result the level of the new Lake Pedder does not vary more than a few metres. This makes it more visually attractive and more suitable for recreational use than the adjacent Gordon Reservoir.

  • CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club Trip 1972 by Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014
    CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club trip 1972 By Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014 Our anti clockwise route towards and up Federation Peak is depicted in orange above, with the exception of our detour off the loop to climb Burgess Bluff. We subsequently camped at Pineapple Flat, scrub bashed our way to Mount Picton, and eventually walked out to Blakes Opening along an unexpectedly civilized track. Map credit: Bill Filson 7 January 1972 We packed all our gear and then went shopping. We expect to be out for 7-10 days, and after packing the necessary food and excess, the food bill tallied 26 dollars for four, quite a lot of money. We went to local camping stores and got some extra equipment, then called in to chat with a few guys who could tell us something about the walk. We repacked everything after a counter lunch in a pub and off we went. We walked quite a way out of the main street of Hobart. Greg and I started hitching and were lucky, getting a lift with a guy who was going camping himself. I guess I was rather forward but I asked him if he’d mind picking up our two friends who were on the road already. He didn’t seem to mind, so we were all driven down to Geeveston. Had a few refreshments there and left details at the police station and gear at the council chambers. It was rather late to get a lift, it being 4.30 pm, but a local housewife drove all of us a few miles out of town.

  • Hydro 4 Water Storage
    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.

Department of Geography, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, Australia 2308 (EAC); Department of Physical Sciences, University of Tasmania at Launceston, Tasmania, Australia 7250 (DH); Forest Practices Board ofTasmania, 30 Patrick Street, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7000 (KK). During the Late Wisconsin, icecap and outlet glacier systems developed on the West Coast Range and on the Central Plateau ofTasmania. Local cirque and valley glaciers occurred in many other mountain areas of southwestern Tasmania. Criteria are outlined that enable Late Wisconsin and older glacial landforms and deposits to be distinguished. Radiocarbon dates show Late Wisconsin ice developed after 26-25 ka BP, attained its maximum extent c. 19 ka BP, and disappeared from the highest cirques before 10 ka BP. Important Late Wisconsin age glacial landforms and deposits of the West Coast Range, north-central and south-central Tasmania are described. Late Wisconsin ice was less extensive than ice formed during middle and earlier Pleistocene glaciations. Late Wisconsin snowline altitudes, glaciological conditions and palaeodimatic conditions are outlined. Key Words: glaciation, Tasmania, Late Wisconsin, snowline altitude, palaeoclimate.

Natural groundwater quality is influenced by annual rainfall and the evaporation (e.g. high rainfall, low evaporation areas tend to have better quality groundwater then low rainfall, high evaporation areas), the composition of the rock types through which the groundwater passes and is stored in and by physical properties of the rocks such as permeability and porosity.
