A Heritage Tour NORTHERN CENTENARY BORDER WALKS
A heritage tour NORTHERN CENTENARY BORDER WALKS SELF-GUIDED WALKS NatioNal trust CoNserviNg australia’s Heritage page 1 Why is the ACT shaped as it is? When was it surveyed? Who were the surveyors and what problems did they meet as they mapped out the border? What were the ramifications of the border on the property owners who farmed the area? By following these self- guided tour routes and walking in the footsteps of the surveying teams the story of surveying the border and its consequences will unfold. ollowing Federation in 1901, a long and somewhat torturous process followed before the ‘Canberra- Yass’ region was selected for the new Federal Capital FTerritory. On 14 December, 1908, The Seat of Government Act became law specifying not only the Canberra-Yass region but an area of not less than 900 square miles for a federal territory. The Federal Capital Territory (from 1938 called the Australian Capital Territory) officially came into existence with the passing of two complementary Seat of Government Acts in 1909 (Surrender by New South Wales and Acceptance by the Commonwealth), vesting the land in the Commonwealth on 1 January 1911. The Commonwealth authorities wanted a clean and healthy water supply from a catchment area they could control for the new territory and capital city. Charles Scrivener was appointed the Director of the Lands and Survey Department, and he along with members of an advisory board proposed that the border should follow the water-shed of the Cotter River and the Molonglo- Queanbeyan Rivers. This boundary would have included the town of Queanbeyan and a large section of the Yass- Queanbeyan-Cooma railway line. -

The Dawes Family of Good Hope, Yass, New South Wales
The Dawes Family of Good Hope, Yass, New South Wales A Family History Compiled from various sources and written by Joan Murray Dawes B.A.(LibSc) 2018 For Bill and Babe This is a story for the many Australian descendants of a Yass pioneer family created by Emigrants William Henry Daws from Cornwall, per “Herefordshire” 1857 & Mary Anne Flanagan from Galway, per “Kate” 1855 Married Yass NSW 1859 Why do we research our Family History? We are the chosen. My feeling is that in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow those who went before know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as if it were in our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us; Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told my ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting the facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do. -

The Bredbo NSW Earthquake Near Canberra, 31 January 2016
Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2016 Conference, Nov 25-27, Melbourne, Vic The Bredbo NSW earthquake near Canberra, 31 January 2016 Kevin McCue BSc (Hons.), DIC, MPhil, FIEAust., Australian Seismological Centre, Canberra, Adjunct Professor, Central Queensland University, Australia, [email protected] Abstract In early 2016, a small earthquake struck the Monaro District of NSW south of Canberra and was widely felt. The earthquake details: Near Bredbo NSW earthquake 31 January 2016 at 04:40 ESST (30 January 2016 at 17:39:13 UTC). Epicentre (ASC) 36.0°S, 149.25°E (10km SE Bredbo), depth 20km, magnitude ML3.6. There were no aftershocks. This earthquake was well recorded thanks to its proximity to Canberra where there are government, state agency and independently operated seismographs. Its study has elicited useful information on the regional principal stress orientation, important information for hazard analysis and it sheds light on the relationship between current earthquakes and ancient faults. Keywords: Seismicity, focal mechanism, active faults, earthquake hazard modelling Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2016 Conference, Nov 25-27, Melbourne, Vic FELT REPORTS AND ISOSEISMAL MAP Wireless media, police and government agencies fielded many reports of the effects of the earthquake but this information is usually lost, apart from what is printed the local newspapers and on-line. Typical stories are reported below. Cooma Monaro Express online Residents across the region were woken in the early hours of Sunday morning by a 3.6 magnitude earthquake that shook houses and rattled windows. The earthquake's epicentre was recorded just outside Bredbo with residents as far field as Merimbula reporting they had felt the seismic activity. -
