  • The History of the Worimi People by Mick Leon
    The History of the Worimi People By Mick Leon The Tobwabba story is really the story of the original Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal New South Wales, Australia. Before contact with settlers, their people extended from Port Stephens in the south to Forster/Tuncurry in the north and as far west as Gloucester. The Worimi is made up of several tribes; Buraigal, Gamipingal and the Garawerrigal. The people of the Wallis Lake area, called Wallamba, had one central campsite which is now known as Coomba Park. Their descendants, still living today, used this campsite 'til 1843. The Wallamba had possibly up to 500 members before white contact was made. The middens around the Wallis Lake area suggest that food from the lake and sea was abundant, as well as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, waterfowl and fruit bats. Fire was an important feature of life, both for campsites and the periodic 'burning ' of the land. The people now number less than 200 and from these families, in the main, come the Tobwabba artists. In their work, they express images of their environment, their spiritual beliefs and the life of their ancestors. The name Tobwabba means 'a place of clay' and refers to a hill on which the descendants of the Wallamba now have their homes. They make up a 'mission' called Cabarita with their own Land Council to administer their affairs. Aboriginal History of the Great Lakes District The following extract is provided courtesy of Great Lakes Council (Narelle Marr, 1997): In 1788 there were about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.

    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT GLOUCESTER RESOURCES LIMITED Section 4 – Environmental Features, Management Amended Rocky Hill Coal Project Measures and Impacts Report No. 806/13 4.8 SOILS AND LAND AND SOIL CAPABILITY The soils assessment of the amended Project was undertaken in two parts. The assessment of soils within the Mine Area and power line corridors was completed by Geoff Cunningham Natural Resource Consultants Pty Ltd as part of the 2013 Project assessment whilst the assessment of soils within the private haul road corridor was completed by Soil Management Designs as part of the amended Project. The full assessments are presented in Volume 4 Parts 10A and 10B of the Specialist Consultant Studies Compendium and are referenced throughout this section as GCNRC (2013a) and SOILmgt (2016), with a summary of the assessments presented in the following subsections. Relevant soils information is also discussed in Section 4.17 with respect to agricultural resources within the Site. 4.8.1 Introduction Based on the risk assessment undertaken for the amended Project (Section 3.3.1 and Appendix 6), the potential impacts relating to soils and their risk rankings after the adoption of standard mitigation measures are as follows. Inadequate soils available for rehabilitation purposes leading to less successful rehabilitation and increased rehabilitation costs and maintenance to the Mine Area and private haul road corridor (low). Degradation of soil in stockpiles leading to less successful rehabilitation and increased rehabilitation costs and maintenance (low). Erosion of soil stockpiles within the Waukivory Creek / Oaky Creek catchment areas leading to increased sediment loads in both creeks (low).

    645 Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. S.J. Griffith, R. Wilson and K. Maryott-Brown Griffith, S.J.1, Wilson, R.2 and Maryott-Brown, K.3 (1Division of Botany, School of Rural Science and Natural Resources, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351; 216 Bourne Gardens, Bourne Street, Cook ACT 2614; 3Paynes Lane, Upper Lansdowne NSW 2430) 2000. Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(3): 645–715. The vegetation of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve on the lower North Coast of New South Wales has been classified and mapped from aerial photography at a scale of 1: 25 000. The plant communities so identified are described in terms of their composition and distribution within Booti Booti NP and Yahoo NR. The plant communities are also discussed in terms of their distribution elsewhere in south-eastern Australia, with particular emphasis given to the NSW North Coast where compatible vegetation mapping has been undertaken in many additional areas. Floristic relationships are also examined by numerical analysis of full-floristics and foliage cover data for 48 sites. A comprehensive list of vascular plant taxa is presented, and significant taxa are discussed. Management issues relating to the vegetation of the reserves are outlined. Introduction The study area Booti Booti National Park (1586 ha) and Yahoo Nature Reserve (48 ha) are situated on the lower North Coast of New South Wales (32°15'S 152°32'E), immediately south of Forster in the Great Lakes local government area (Fig.

  • Booti Booti State Conservation Area Plan Of
    BOOTI BOOTI STATE RECREATION AREA PLAN OF MANAGEMENT National Parks and Wildlife Service New South Wales Sydney July, 1987 Written by: Alison Ramsay Cover Design by: Gary Bridle Word Processor Operator: Corinne Dunwoody Recognition is made of the substantial contribution of the consultant, Bob Robertson of the Centre for Leisure and Tourism Studies, and the Booti Booti State Recreation Area Trust in the preparation of the draft plan of management. ISBN 0 7305 2043 9 FOREWORD Booti Booti State Recreation Area includes the narrow sand barrier which separates Wallis Lake and the Pacific Ocean as well as the spectacular headlands of Cape Hawke to the north of Booti Hill and Charlotte Head to the south. Although much of the coastal barrier has been sand mined, Booti Booti State Recreation Area retains extensive areas of coastal heath and palm forest, and smaller areas of rainforest. The beaches and lakeshore of Booti Booti State Recreation Area have long been an important recreational resource. The expansion of Tuncurry-Forster to the north of the State Recreation Area and the Pacific Palms area to the south have, however, placed increasing recreational pressure on the area. There has also been increased demands from urban centres such as Sydney and Newcastle for weekend and holiday destinations within easy travel distance. The plan of management provides for further low key, recreational facilities within a natural setting. Such facilities will complement those provided in nearby towns and other parks and reserves within the local area. It also provides for the development of facilities for the elderly and handicapped, and for information to be provided to the public on the natural features of the State Recreation Area.

A bioregional assessment is a scientific analysis of the ecology, hydrology, geology and hydrogeology of a bioregion with explicit assessment of the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining development on water resources. This Programme draws on the best available scientific information and knowledge from many sources, including government, industry and regional communities, to produce bioregional assessments that are independent, scientifically robust, and relevant and meaningful at a regional scale. The Programme is funded by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. The Department of the Environment, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia are collaborating to undertake bioregional assessments. For more information, visit <www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au>. Department of the Environment The Office of Water Science, within the Australian Government Department of the Environment, is strengthening the regulation of coal seam gas and large coal mining development by ensuring that future decisions are informed by substantially improved science and independent expert advice about the potential water related impacts of those developments.

  • Mullet Review
    20 Biological review and stock assessment of NSW sea mullet resource FISHERIES World Fishery Sea mullet constitutes an important fishery in many parts of the world, mainly due to high stock accessibility and abundance. In 1998, 252221 t of mullet (Family: Mugilidae) was harvested from wild populations around the world (FAO 2000). This value included 25678 t of sea mullet, although total production by sea mullet fisheries was likely to have been considerably higher. In 1998, 36971 t of sea mullet was also produced by world aquaculture. Broad ecological tolerances, in combination with a generalist diet, also contribute to the widespread use of sea mullet in aquaculture. Australian Fisheries Sea mullet occur in waters of all Australian states. Commercial fisheries for sea mullet operate in NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. NSW production is greatest, followed by Queensland and Western Australia. Relatively small quantities are landed in Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. It is likely that at least two stocks of se mullet exist in Australian waters. Tagging studies have demonstrated that NSW and Queensland fisheries target the same stock, and it is possible that Victorian and Tasmanian fishers also target this ‘eastern’ stock. Western Australian fishers are likely to target a separate ‘western’ stock, which may also occur in South Australia. NSW Fishery – History and Management History and overview Sea mullet was a highly significant source of fresh fish in NSW during the early days of European settlement. At the start of the 20th century, this species “was the staple product on the Municipal market, for the prime reason that it was most abundant” (NSW Fisheries, 1929).
