  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Queensland's Timber and Iron Lighthouses
    Queensland’s timber and iron lighthouses: 19th century colonial innovation Peter Marquis-Kyle, conservation architect, Brisbane SUMMARY: The geography, resources and economic circumstances of the colony of Queensland fostered the local design and construction of two related types of composite timber-framed, iron-clad lighthouse towers in Queensland from the 1870s – an early type clad with riveted wrought iron plating, and a later type clad with corrugated galvanised iron. This paper gives a short historical account of their design and construction, outlines the range of towers and how they have been changed. The paper concludes with an assessment of the success and influence of the type, and a table of major 19th century lighthouses. structures was built in 1845, the youngest in 1984.1 As a 1.

    Botanic Endeavour 250 Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand celebrates 250 years of the discovery by western science of the flora of New Zealand and Australia’s east coast in 1769-70 and over 40,000 years of traditional knowledge 2019 - 2020 1 Botanic Endeavour 250 Our plants our future In 2019 and 2020, botanic gardens and arboreta throughout Australia and New Zealand will commemorate the anniversary ‘voyage of discovery’ by Captain James Cook in the barque ‘Endeavour’ during which Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander made a comprehensive collection of flora. Cook mapped the entire coastline of New Zealand in 1769 before traversing the east coast of Australia in 1770 from Point Hicks to Cape York. Pressings of over 520 new taxa unknown to western science were collected along the route up the east coast of Australia and these, along with thousands of botanical illustrations, somehow made it back to England in the face of shipwreck, waterlogging and the dank and humid conditions below decks. The rich abundance of diverse flora excited the botanic world and ultimately led to the settlement of the new colony. 2019 in New Zealand and 2020 in Australia marks the 250th anniversary of these flora discoveries by western science. Our Australian indigenous heritage Prior to 1770, the original custodians of Australia lived in harmony with the land for over 40, 000 years and discovered the ethnobotanic use for Australia’s native flora for food, medicine, tools, clothing, and building materials. After the recording of such unusual and previously undocumented flora along the journey, Banks became a lifelong advocate for the settlement of the ‘new continent’ at Botany Bay.
