Snowy Mountains Snowy Mountains in collaboration with Destination NSW for the Snowy Mountains Photo: Destination NSW for the Snowy Mountains Australia’s highest peaks are in the Snowy Mountains, where there’s thrilling downhill skiing and snowboarding during the snow season. Lively towns and resorts in this alpine region in southwest NSW are also popular destinations in warmer months for hiking, horseriding, kayaking, mountain biking and fishing. When spring melts the snow into cascading waters and wildflowers bloom, streams shelter trout and attract many fly fishermen. Vineyards in this beautiful region produce excellent cool-climate wines, and fresh produce is on sale at farm gates.

The Snowy River Echo is your only locally owned, pub- lished and printed magazine. We take pride in this and love supporting the community in any way we can.

I replied with joy now knowing that the magazine (if only one copy) gets to New Zea- land. As discussed with this regular reader, I mentioned that the magazine hasn’t been published in January before but as per the communities feedback we will as of next year publish 12 editions a year. The Monaro’s agriculture show season is upon us. So please support our local towns by attending or partic- ipating!

  • Eucalyptus Parvula L.Johnson & K
    NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Eucalyptus parvula L.Johnson & K. Hill (Myrtaceae) Review of Current Information in NSW June 2008 Current status: Eucalyptus parvula is currently listed as Vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The NSW Scientific Committee recently determined that Eucalyptus parvula meets criteria for listing as Endangered in NSW under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act), based on information contained in this report and other information available for the species. Species description: Eucalyptus parvula is described in Brooker et al. (2000) as follows: “Tree to 10 m tall. Bark smooth throughout or with some persistent rough, grey bark on lower trunk; smooth bark predominantly dark grey, at times with ribbons of decorticated bark in the upper branches. Juvenile stem rounded in cross-section; juvenile leaves opposite for many pairs, sessile, elliptical to ovate or lanceolate, 1.6-4cm long, 0.9-1.3cm wide, green. Crown characteristically retains large numbers of juvenile leaves, with some petiolate, lanceolate intermediate and adult leaves. Crown leaves opposite or alternate, petiole 0-0.3cm long, elliptical to lanceolate, 3-8cm long, 0.5- 1.5cm wide, base tapering to petiole, concolorous, dull, green, penniveined, moderately reticulate, intramarginal vein parallel to and just within margin, oil glands mostly island. Inflorescences axillary unbranched, peduncles 0.3-0.7cm long, 7-flowered; buds sessile, ovoid to clavate, smooth or slightly warty, scar present, operculum conical to rounded, stamens irregularly flexed or inflexed, anthers cuboid to globoid, versatile, slits separate, style short, stigma blunt, locules 3 or 4, the placentae each with 4 vertical ovule rows; flowers white.

  • The Effects of Road De-Icing Salts on Water Quality And
    Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00244-021-00827-1 The Efects of Road De‑icing Salts on Water Quality and Macroinvertebrates in Australian Alpine Areas Mark D. Shenton1 · Susan J. Nichols1 · Jon P. Bray1 · Benjamin J. G. Moulding1 · Ben J. Keford1 Received: 1 October 2020 / Accepted: 24 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract The application of road de-icing salts has the potential to salinize fresh waters and degrade habitat for aquatic organisms. In the Australian Alps, the ecological efects of even small salinity increases from de-icing may be diferent than in North America and Europe because of (1) diferences in the evolutionary history, and (2) areas with de-icing in Australia are not located in urbanized landscapes where de-icing has been largely studied elsewhere. In this study, we tried to determine the salinity increases attributable to de-icing in Australia and the efects of this increase in salinity to stream macroinvertebrates. We observed increased salt concentrations (as measured by continuous measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) and periodic measurements of chloride concentrations) in streams near two Australian ski resorts, during the snow seasons (June to September) of 2016 to 2018. The maximum EC observed in streams in salted sites near Perisher, New South Wales, was 390 µS cm−1 compared with a maximum of 26.5 µS cm −1 at unsalted sites. Lower EC values (i.e., maximum 61.1 µS cm −1) and short durations of salinity increases in streams near Falls Creek, Victoria, were not expected to cause an adverse biologi- cal response.

This volume of articles on the Monaro is the product of a one day workshop held at the University of Canberra on the 8th of June, 1994. The workshop arose from a discussion between Max Brown, Ken McQueen and Ken Sharp during the IAVCEI field trip to the Monaro Volcanic Province in September 1993.
