  • Berkeley Prepares for War
    60 July lllawarra Historical Society Inc. BERKELEY PREPARES FOR WAR When she was researching the history of Berkeley, Society member, Kathleen Barwick, (now Kathleen Hooke) received the following information from the Australian Army: I refer to your letter of 7th April, 1963, in which you requested information in regard to the concrete blocks in Lake lllawarra and rank trap in the Berkeley Area. It is regretted that Army files containing the correspondence dealing with the concrete blocks and the tank traps have been destroyed, and as such, no specific information can be obtained for you. In reply to your questions, concerning the defence of Berkeley, I will answer each ques­ tion separately. Why was the tank trap necessary? It was designed to stop an armoured thrust along the coast from Port Kembla. Were there extensive precautions taken to stop the japanese entering here (Berkeley)? After the capture of Singapore, plans were prepared for the defence of Eastern Australian Coastline with special attention to possible landing areas near major cities and large industrial centres. Wollongong - Port Kembla was one of these areas to be defended. Was the japanese navy expected to force a landing near Port Kembla? It is generally not known where an enemy would strike on such an extensive coastline but Wollongong -Port Kembla is an industrial centre and as such was regarded as possible target for enemy assault. Were there other tank traps established along the Eastern coast ofAustralia? The Eastern Coast has many coastal rivers which would have been possible defensive barriers for tanks, but all major centres of population had plans for the construction of tank traps and many were actually built.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The Illawarra Escarpment Abstract The llIawarra escarpment is one of the most striking features of the N.S.W. coast, for it runs like a great unbreached wall for some 120km, and dominates the narrow plains below. Vet little hes been written about it, and some of the brief commentaries that have appeared are incorrect. This account outlines the major feature. of the escarpment, its origins, and also the hazards of land slip encountered on its slopes. Publication Details This report was originally published as Young, RW, The Illawarra Escarpment, Wollongong Studies in Geography No.2, Department of Geography, University of Wollongong, 1980, 4p. This report is available at Research Online: https://ro.uow.edu.au/wollgeo/2 Some parts of the escarpment have been worn back much farther from the coast than have others. At first sight this seems, as Griffith Taylor (1923) argued, to be simply a matter of the differential resistance to erosion of the varied rocks exposed along the escarpment.
