That the search and Rescue Transport Fund become the Search and Rescue fund. Proposed - Peter Con roy Seconded Gary Iledaris That the club donate $20 to the iISW Federation of Bushwalking Clubs' Search and Rescue Fund Proposed - Peter Conroy Secqnded - Gary Medaris THE PRESIDE1T REPORTS That perennial subject, leadership, was recently discussed by the Committee and the following points, which generally reflect the thinking of Committee members, are provided for the information and benefit of all walkers, not just leaders. it is recognised that there is room for improvement in the way in which many of our walks are run. The following three points, which relate to the responsibility of walkers, indicate areas where it was felt Improvement could be made: Each person on a walk must realise that he is part of a group with a H responsibility to and for every other person on that walk. Whilq' the leader has certain responsibilities, of prime importance is the responsibility of each personto be aware of what is happening, to know who is in front and behind and to ensure that full accoudt is taken of the interests of the group as a whole. If this is done, the, • tai 1-enders will; not be ignored. So far as slintér groups are concerned, they are separate independent entities They must look after themselves and not expect the original party to change plansor to cater specially forthem, Their plans should, however, be made known to the original partyj leader. Again, there is a responsibility on members of splinter - groups towards each other person in that group. In the event that a person becomes separated and lost, they should remain where they are and return, if possible, to where they were last seen. The person can have faith that the rest of the party will come and look for them. . eader!

  • Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna
    Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii) The Superb Parrot is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act and the TSC Act. The Superb Parrot occurs mostly in riparian forest or woodland and surrounding plains of the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers. It feeds mainly on the ground in Box-Gum Woodlands and wooded farmland within 10 km of the river, taking grass seeds and herbaceous plants, as well as fruit, insects, grain, flowers, nectar, berries and buds (DEC 2005q; Higgins 1999). It nests in hollows, usually in dead branches, but sometimes in holes in the trunk of a tall tree (Higgins 1999). The species is monogamous and is thought to maintain bonds year round (Higgins 1999). How is the proposal likely to affect the lifecycle of a threatened species and/or population? Some trees with hollows would be removed along Googong Dam Road and Old Cooma Road as a result of the proposal. The Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the study area, or within 10 km of the study area. This species is a rare breeding summer migrant to the ACT and is generally restricted to the northern parts near Hall, Gungahlin and Belconnen (Taylor, 1992) Competition for hollows in paddock areas is high, particularly from the Common Starling, which is abundant in the study area and has been observed nesting in tree hollows there. Given that the Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the area and wooded areas nearby contain better foraging and nesting habitat for this species than the study area, the removal of existing vegetation in the study area is not likely to affect the life cycle of the Superb Parrot.

Far from being the disaster you though~ 1 that 1939 conflagr~tion actually r~generated vast areas of sub-alpine forest. These and many other facts which had strong impact on our pre­ conceived ideas were presented to us in a slide-illustrated talk given by Tom Morrison of the Recreation Division of the Forestry Commission of Victoria at the clubrooms on 11th August. Mr. Morrison took !JS from the vary top to the very bottom of Victoria's forests: the fi~st slide was of the alpine snows above the tree line1 and by the last wa had been···to the bottom of a mallee fowl nest out near Mildura. · We ·had a-lso been taken thJ;"ough the entire 1ife cycle of the state's tallest tree, which is quite literally a matter of ashes to ashes. 'Mr·. Morrison. expl_Q.i:ned that the seed of the mountain ash is not v;i,ab_le except in the conditions which exist after ·an autumn fire severe enough to kill off the parent "crop" of trees and just about every­ thing else. An apparently devastating fire MUST occur at least once in a period estimated at somewhere between 80 and 200 years in order for this type of_ fo.rei;st to survive.

  • Streambank Impacts Using Drones to Monitor Streambank Impacts of Feral Horses in Kosciuszko National Park
    2.2 STREAMBANK IMPACTS USING DRONES TO MONITOR STREAMBANK IMPACTS OF FERAL HORSES IN KOSCIUSZKO NATIONAL PARK Dr David Paull School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, ADFA Campus, University of New South Wales, Canberra This project monitors damage to drainage lines caused by feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park. The focus is horse trampling of streambanks and the erosion it causes. The project complements and extends prior field assessments of feral horse impacts in Victoria, NSW and the ACT in 2011 and 2012 (Robertson et al. 2015). Those assessments found that riparian systems of the Australian Alps national parks were being extensively degraded by feral horses, as indicated by loss of streambank stability and ‘pugging’ damage from hooves, amongst other measures. Preliminary trials into the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e. drones) for remotely sensing streambanks commenced in Kosciuszko National Park in October 2013. Aerial imagery of treeless, sub-alpine streams was captured in the form of overlapping, near-vertical photographs. Ground control markers placed along the banks of the streams were included in the imagery and their precise locations were surveyed with a Real-Time Kinematic Geographic Positioning System. After fieldwork, a methodology known as structure-from-motion modelling was applied to produce three-dimensional, computer point-cloud representations of the streams, which were geographically referenced based on the ground control information. High-resolution digital elevation models and aerial photo-mosaics having centimetre to sub-centimetre accuracy were then exported to a Geographic Information System where geomorphological metrics were derived. Stream reaches, each of about 50 m length, are now being monitored in this way over a three-year period (2016/17–2018/19), with funding generously granted by the Australian Alps Liaison Committee and considerable in-kind support from the University of New South Wales.
