PREDENVS PRATtLE This issue brings us to the end of the calendar year, and to the season of getting together with friends and enjoying their company, sharing well-wishes and eating and drinking just a little too much. In addition to wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, if you are doing any travelling to Join family and frier*i , please take care and drive safely. This past month has brought us to the end Of our commitment in Monolith Valley for this year. As many of your are aware, the work this year entailed substantially more than what was involved in 1988-89, and involved a great deal of effort from Club members and from our friends in the NSW NP& WS, Ulladulla. The thanks and acknowledgment of the Club for a job well done goes to all of you who were involved in either the one planning trip, or any of the three work weekends. 2 On the last work trip, and on behalf of the Club, I presented Bruce Rodgie and Richard Green of NP & WS with their own corroboree frog lapel badges. Their guidance and assistance to the Club in planning and carrying out work in Monolith has been indispensable. Best of all, their company on these trips has been a pleasure. Incidentally, have you bought you corroboree frog lapel badge yet?

IltI *J a PB In October PB, or to give it its full name, Precipitous Bluff, is an impressive mountain, towering some 11 OOm above the south coast of Tasmania. The second week of October saw three of us heading off to traverse the Southern Ranges and PB. Our packs were weighed down with 12 days of food and a dozen steel rods (just to make sure the packs were really heavy!) Our first days' walk took us over Moonlight Flats, with occasional views towards the east to Ida Bay and Bruny Island. We camped amongst the scrub on Moonlight Creek with the moon well and truly hidden behind dense cloud. The next morning we were greeted with overcast skies and soon after leaving our overnight camp we had a brief period of snow and sleet. Well, it was October after all. 3 Our route went over Hill One, around the north side of Hill Two and over the tops of Hill Three and, yes, Hill Four (such imaginative names). We camped at Pigsty Ponds, a very appropriate name. Pigsty Ponds and the nearby Reservoir Lakes are lovely places and are set in a deep glaciated valley. It rained heavily overnight but wasn't too bad in the morning as we headed over Maxwell Ridge and had our first view of PB to the west. Descending the ridge we witnessed a wonderful display of rainbows as they moved across the sky at one time there was a perfect semicircle of colour over Pindars Peak. We arrived at Ooze Lake, another beautiful alpine lake, in time for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast! We were stuck in the tents as it blew and rained and then snowed overnight. As we poked our heads out in the morning we had a wonderful view, with a fresh cover of snow and large patches of blue sky. This is it we thought, as we hurriedly packed up, dug out our sunhats and put the blockout on. Twenty minutes later we were battling through chest-high scrub with parkas and overtrousers on. It had begun to snow again! By this time we had traversed around the northern slopes of Pindars Peak. It had stopped snowing and we were rewarded with a magnificent view down to Prion Beach and New River Lagoon and more tantalising views of PB. The rest of the day was spent following a scrubby route out to Wyllie Plateau, From there we could hear the waves on Prior Beach and watch the sun set behind the Ironbounds. The next day's walk was the longest of the trip. We bashed our way through more scrub before scrambling up the eastern side of PB to a plateau a mere 500m away from the summit. However another snow storm saw us descending rapidly, the summit unclimbed. The descent invotves steep (well, really verticaO gullies with occasional rock scrambles around the base of the cliffs, till a steep ridge is reached which is followed to New River Lagoon, some BOOm below. We were all very glad to reach the lagoon and rest our weary bodies and drop our packs. (We still had a week's supply of food with us at this stage). The weather had improved somewhat the next day so with daypacks, we retraced our steps and struggled back up the ridge and on to the summit of PB. It is 114 5 m above the lagoon and as the crow flies, less than 3km away. Once again we were glad to reach the camp that night after the day's exertion. Sunday saw us wading along the shores of New River Lagoon, enjoying perfectly reflected images of the Ironbound Range and glimpses of Federation Peak to the north. Once at Prion Beach we followed the easy South Coast track east for the next couple of days and out to Cockle Creek, enjoying wonderful weather. It was even warm enough for a quick (and I mean, quick) dip in Surprise Rivulet, It began to drizzle on our last day and we drove back to Hobart in heaw rain. Given the time of year we had been very lucky with the weather and as an added bonus, we didn't see any other walkers for the nine days. Oh yes, those steel rods we were carrying? I nearly forgot. The trip was in fact part of a track inventory program and we were to set up some track erosion monitoring sites. Well, I guess someone has to do this work. ft's great getting paid to go bushwalking!

Initial descent from the plateau is via ramps, a conventional ladder and the exciting Taro's ladder - spikes and handles in a vertical 20 metre drop. There is a plaque to the memory of Wafter Tarr (Taro). "Duke of Clear Hilt who died 14/8/69, aged 90. Another more recent plaque with a single red rose to a 22 year old is more poignant. Highlights of Narrowneck were waratahs in full bloom, magnificent mountain and cliff views and excellent walking.

Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own original work. Paul Rustomji 18 November 2003 To Ely . Go E . Go! Acknowledgements In producing this thesis I am indebted to many folk who have kindly helped along the way. My supervisors John Chappell and Ian Prosser were both generous with their ideas and patience. Ian was a consistent source of encouragement and support through the inevitable ups and downs of PhD research. John Chappell greatly assisted in coalescing what seemed like a swirling confusion of observations into a thesis and was ever ready with a salient geomorphic example from some exotic location to correct twisted thinking. Jon Olley deserves a special mention of thanks. Without his generous offer to provide luminescence dates, as well as his continuing encouragement, this thesis would never have been completed. Chris Leslie, Jacqui Olley and Ken MacMillan are also thanked for contributing to the luminescence dating. Damien Kelleher is truly a man worth his weight in gold. Always good company in the field, his expertise in sediment core drilling is unsurpassed and my sincerest thanks are extended to him for his efforts. Damien, along with Abaz Alimanovic, also performed the radiocarbon dating in thesis. Those who assisted in the fieldwork and put up with droughts, bushfires, snakes, stink- ing hot weather all on top of any trouble I might have caused included Martin Weisse, Chuck Magee, Paul Treble, Toshi Fujioka, Thomas Schambron, Martin Smith and Si- mon Mockler.

Dig out that unwanted gear that has been cluttering your cupboards for so long and bring it along to the annual Club auction. Anything connected with bushwalking, skiing, abseiling or any of the other Club activities is suitable. Those with nothing to sell should come along and pick up some of the many bargains that are usualty to be found at these events. Someone bought a single mitten last year; so if you have a single mitten for sale, it is likely that there is a ready buyer. Come along and see the gear that people bought last year, or see 13 pairs of Alan Vidler's used sandshoes. Before the meeting, join Club members at 6.00pm for dinner (BYO) at the Vietnam Restaurant, O'Connor (the one on the corner). T shirts and badges carrying the Club's emblem, the corroboree frog, are available for purchase at Club meetings from the Social Secretary. PRESIDENTS PRATRE While not bread and circuses, the last month has been walks and conservation - issues which are the basic sustenance of this Club. On Wednesday 23 May, in addition to telephone and letters, 25 people rolled up at the Vidlers' house for what can only be described as a successful walk planning meeting.

    NPA Bulletin National Parks Association of the ACT Inc. Issued March, June, Vol.17 No.3 March 1980 September, December Registered in Australia for transmission by post as a periodical Category B 75C PRESIDENT'S FOREWORD The dedication of Wollemi National Park west of Sydney comes some 30 years after its original conception. It covers some 450,000 hectares and is second only in size to the Kosciusko National Park in NSW. Its focal point is the steep and rugged Colo Gorge. The park goes a long way to ensuring that this large and essentially untouched wilderness is conserved in its natural state especially as commercial interests have eyed this region for its coal and water resources. With this dedication NSW now has 2.8 million hectares, or 2.44% of the state, in national parks. More parks and reserves are in the pipeline and closer to home the N.P.W.S. has indicated its interest in the Commonwealth lease lands to the north and west of the ACT. This area of NSW was leased to the Commonwealth for bushfire protection of the national capital following a long history of disastrous fires in the region up to and including the 1939 inferno. The lease expires shortly and it is then that we can expect the N.P.W.S. to make its nnal move. The propose' park, being referred to as the Brindabella National Park, will add significantly to the lands under national park or similar management in the local region, e.g. Kosciusko National Park, Cotter River Catchment, Tidbinbilla and Gudgenby Nature Reserves, and importantly strengthen the physical link between these areas.

    147 CHAPTER SIX STAGE THREE : THE FUTURE TRAJECTORY OF CHANGE AND RECOVERY POTENTIAL OF RIVERS IN BEGA CATCHMENT 6.1 Introduction and outline of this chapter The analysis of river recovery potential interprets the trajectory of likely future reach adjustments under circumstances in which the reach is not subject to direct intervention (i.e. whether geomorphic condition improves, remains relatively the same, or deteriorates). This analysis is framed in terms of the current trajectory of change under current management practices and predictions of recovery potential based over a 50-100 year timeframe. We recognise explicitly that future river responses/pathways will reflect management strategies. Hopefully, as strategies are implemented, the trajectory and potential for recovery will improve throughout the system. Hence, this assessment provides a contemporary statement of recovery pathways for river courses in Bega catchment. The procedures employed aid determination of the types of measures that can be undertaken to enhance the natural recovery processes of each river course. Adoption of these adaptive management principles requires responses to limiting factors and pressures that operate in the system. There are two steps in the determination of geomorphic recovery potential in Stage Three of the River Styles framework (Figure 6.1). Figure 6.1 Steps in Stage Three of the River Styles framework Stage Three, Step One: Determine the trajectory of river change ⇓ Stage Three, Step Two: Assess river recovery potential: Place reaches in their catchment context and assess limiting factors to recovery In the sections that follow, core products that appraise the geomorphic recovery of rivers across Bega catchment are presented.
