Its natural integrity, with large areas unaffected by logging, contains a range of endangered and of concern communities, including significant examples of notophyll vine forests along upper catchment creek lines, and habitat for rare and threatened plants and birds. Maintenance of the aquatic ecosystems to protect threatened or endemic species including the giant barred frog, cascade tree frog, tusked frog, the giant spiny crayfish and the rainforest crayfish will be a priority. The park will provide a high quality water catchment and scenic backdrop to the rapidly developing Sunshine Coast hinterland, Caboolture and Kilcoy. Visitors can enjoy an accessible, regenerating natural area for nature-based recreation opportunities, including sustainable motorised recreation. Conservation purpose Bellthorpe National Park was gazetted in 2010.

  • INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 Am): I Would Like to Begin by Acknowledging the First Nation People on Whose Land We Meet: the Turrbal People
    Speech By Robert Skelton MEMBER FOR NICKLIN Record of Proceedings, 1 December 2020 INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 am): I would like to begin by acknowledging the First Nation people on whose land we meet: the Turrbal people. I also acknowledge the Kabi Kabi people, whose land I am honoured to speak of in this place, and I pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I was born an Army brat and spent my early life travelling around the country with my family and sister Cassandra as my father, Robert, served. My mother, Yvonne, also imbued in me a sense of duty and honour, so in 1995 after finishing school in Townsville I joined the Navy so that I, too, could serve my country. My naval career saw me serve as a boatswain’s mate on HMAS Swan, HMAS Canberra and HMAS Ipswich. I later had an educational posting at the gunnery range at HMAS Cerberus. In 2002 I transferred to RAAF Base Amberley to train as an aviation firefighter. I then served at RAAF Base Tindal. My time in the services taught me the importance of comradeship, teamwork, improvisation and a love of, and duty to, country. During this time my wife, Rachel, and I had a young family. I have three beautiful children: Brandt, Delaney and Jamison. All three were born thousands of kilometres apart in Cairns, Frankston and Katherine respectively. I also had the good fortune of adopting Ray and Sandra Hubbard and John and Julie Aldous as parents somewhere along the way.

T. MATHEWS, M.Sc. ' The area between Bracalba and Kiicoy extending northwards to the Conondale Range was found to consist mainly of tonalitic rock. On the south the tonalite is intrusive into Brisbane Metamorphics, and may underlie them for some miles farther southward; on the east it is faulted against Mesozoic sediments; and on the north intrusive into andesites, and it is thought, Brisbane Metamorphics. In the south-west, acid and intermediate volcanics, probably mostly related to the Mt. Archer and M . Delaney masses, are found; while basalt penetrates the area from the north. t The principal structures of the area are a broad anticline in the Brisbane Metamorphics between Bracalba and Kilcoy; along fault (in one place associated with mylonites) stretching from Bracalba to the Cedarton-Beerwah road, separating Mesozoic sandstones on the east from tonalite and altered andesite; and a comparatively small ?thrust (also with associated mylonites) in Brisbane Metamorphics to the east of Kilcoy.
