This Issue of Southern Caver Is Assumed to Be No. 52 ISSN 0157-8464 This issue of Southern Caver is assumed to be No. 52 ISSN 0157-8464 SOUTHERN CAVER This index was compiled by Russell Fulton Typing: Nell Gill Published by the SOUTHERN CAVING SOCIETY Postal Address: P.O. Box 121, Moonah, Tasmania, 7009 Club Room 132 Davey Street, Hobart, 7000 OCTOBER 1985 1. INTRODUCTION This is an index to the contents of Southern Cavep published by the Southern Caving Society from Volume l'number 1 to Volume 12 number 4 and then in the new series numbers 49 to 51 inclusive. These were published between July 1967 and December 1982, a period spanning 15 years. The quarterly issue of the magazine ended with Volume 12 number 4 and it subsequently became an occasional publication commencing with number 49 (the magazines between Volume 1 and Volume 12 inclusive were counted as 48 issues). The Southern Caving Society was formed in April 1965 with the aim of furthering the exploration of Tasmanian caves and promoting their study and conservation. The Southern Cavep is an invaluable record of 15 years of Tasmanian speleology and the diversity of contributions to the magazine reflect a wide range of interests including for example, cave fauna, explora­ tion, diving in sea caves, snow cave geomorphology and underground photography. The list could go on. Copies of some of the issues are still available. For information on availability and cost, write to the Secretary, Southern Caving Society, P.O. Box 121, Moonah, Tasmania 7009.

  • Rock and Gravel Resources of King Island
    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1998/05 Rock and gravel resources of King Island by C. R. Calver Summary The known gravel resources on King Island are limited. Material for road works is currently sourced from two pits (Reekara and Pearshape) operated by the King Island Council, and from a mine overburden waste dump at Grassy. Concrete aggregate is sourced from beach shingle on the west coast. The Reekara and Pearshape pits are known to have acid drainage problems. Mineral Resources Tasmania and the Department of Environment and Land Management have agreed that the Reekara pit should be closed immediately and rehabilitated, and that the Pearshape pit should be closed and rehabilitated within two years. Mining of the beach shingle, which is deleterious to the coastal environment, will also cease within two years. Thereafter concrete aggregate will need to be produced from hard rock. Future supplies of road construction gravel may continue to be sourced from the Grassy dump, from a new site at Counsel Hill, and from one or two other small existing pits. For good quality road sealing material and concrete aggregate, it is recommended that sites in Precambrian amphibolite east of Pegarah, and in Tertiary basalt in the north of the island, be investigated. INTRODUCTION rehabilitation of the Pearshape and Reekara pits in King Island’s supplies of gravel for road construction the near future. and concrete aggregate have, for many years, been A substitute or substitutes for these pits needs to be taken from beach shingle at widely scattered points capable of providing an annual total of around along the west coast of the island, and from two 40 000 tonnes of gravel and crushed stone for road inland gravel pits at Reekara in the north and construction.

  • Description Distribution and Habitat Mole Creek Cave Beetle
    THREATENED SPECIES LISTING STATEMENT Mole Creek Cave Beetle, Tasmanotrechus cockerilli Moore 1972 Status Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.............................…...........…………………………………....Not listed Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995…………………....Rare Description The Mole Creek cave beetle is found only in caves; Tasmanotrechus cockerilli such species are referred to as ‘troglobites’. Troglobitic beetles show varying degrees of adaptation to a cave existence, including loss of body colouring, a reduction or complete loss of eyes, and a lengthening of legs and other appendages. The Mole Creek cave beetle is small (body length approximately 6 mm), with an elongated head and vestigial eyes. For a full description refer to Moore (1972). Distribution and Habitat Tasmanotrechus cockerilli is known only from the 5mm Mole Creek karst system in central north Tasmania. Within this cave system it is fairly widely distributed, Illustration: Karen Richards having so far been located in nine caves, however, the species is extremely rare in the caves where it has been found (Eberhard et al. 1991). A number of specimens of a beetle very similar to the Mole Creek cave beetle were also collected by Eberhard (2000) from six new cave sites within the Mole Creek karst system. These have been tentatively assigned to the same species. However, the specimens have yet to be formally identified as belonging to the species T. cockerilli. The species is confined mostly to the deep cave zone, where it is found under stones, in or near flood litter, and on moist surfaces near water. Occasionally the species has also been found some distance from permanent water.

    Deborah Hunter President, Friends of Great Western Tiers Kooparoona Niara Conservation Officer, Mole Creek Caving Club. Correspondence: Submission for the Senate inquiry 15th April 2016 The response to, and lessons learnt from, recent fires in remote Tasmanian wilderness affecting the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, with particular reference to: a. the impact of global warming on fire frequency and magnitude; b. the availability and provisions of financial, human and mechanical resources; c. the adequacy of fire assessment and modelling capacity; d. Australia’s obligations as State Party to the World Heritage Convention; e. world best practice in remote area fire management; and f. any related matter. 1 Preamble This submission concerns the fire known as the Lake Mackenzie, Tasmanian Fire Service (TFS) incident number 236227. It later became known as the Mersey Forest complex of fires. We welcome any opportunity to make further representation should there be hearings into the fires. The catastrophic losses incurred elsewhere in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) and high conservation value areas of recognised World Heritage status, 1 such as the Tarkine forests (takayna) are acknowledged but are beyond the scope of this submission. In making this submission, we express the greatest respect for all personnel involved in the dangerous and protracted effort to control and contain the fires. We make this submission in the spirit of helping to understand, address and prevent such devastation in the future. The first Tasmanians are respectfully acknowledged as traditional owners of this land, as is the name kooparoona niara. 2 Summary It is submitted that • Research on climate change and fire response must be restored and increased including CSIRO.

  • King Island Case Study Final Report
    1 ‘Where’s the Slice for King Island?’1 A case study of provenance protection models in King Island* By William van Caenegem2 and Kana Nakano3 1 Interview with Respondent 14: ‘You see the prices they’re charging in the shop fronts as double, but where is the slice for King Island? We’re getting the same slice as everyone else. How can we leverage that to come back to us?’ * This report could not have been completed without financial assistance for which we acknowledge the support of WTI Advisors and the European Union. However, this is an independent, scholarly study and the analysis and conclusions are entirely those of the authors. Ethics approval was obtained from the Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee for the conduct of interviews. 2 Professor of Law at Bond University. 3 Semester Teaching Fellow and Research Assistant at Bond University. 2 Executive Summary The findings in this case study are based on desktop research augmented with approximately thirty-two (32) interviews conducted on King Island, Australia, and few off-island actors. King Island (‘KI’) lies off the North coast of Tasmania and is part of that state. KI has an established reputation in Australia as a provenance brand for dairy and beef. KI lobster is marketed primarily in China. Australia does not allow for sui generis GI registration of any edible products other than wine. In that context, this case study examines how standard trade marks have become established in KI over time and perform a provenance branding function although they are owned by disparate commercial actors.

  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.
