    NPWS NAROOMA BULLETIN 04/20 To: NPWS stakeholders From: NPWS South Coast Branch – Eurobodalla Area Date: 8/09/2020 No of pages (including this page): 1 RE: RECOVERY WORKS CONTINUE After months of hard work (and some left-of-field disruptions such as Covid-19), National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) staff and local contractors have made fantastic progress accessing and rehabilitating roads, trails and camping areas heavily impacted by fires and floods earlier in the year. Continued impacts from flooding, heavy rain and strong wind events have meant we have had to return to many roads and trails, which had been finished, to re-clear fallen trees, and re-establish drains, culverts, surfaces and crossings. Our ongoing priority is to make all our facilities safe and serviceable for visitors before they are re-opened. Below is a snapshot of where our roadworks is currently at: Park / Reserve km completed km to be co mpleted Deua Nationa l Park 15 4 157 Monga National Park / 57 68 Monga SCA Biamanga National Park / 21 94 Murra h Flora R eserve Wadbilliga National Park 62 119 Kooraban National Park 59 30 Gulaga National Park 12 0 Deua, Monga, Biamanga, and Wadbilliga National Parks and Monga State Conservation Area and Murrah Flora Reserve still remain closed .

  • For Adding a Threatening Process Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)
    Key Threatening Process Nomination Form - For adding a threatening process under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Section 1 - Name and Description Name 2. Name of nominated threatening process. The name should accurately reflect the scope of the process based on the description and evidence provided in this form. Herbivory and environmental degradation caused by feral deer Description 3. Description of the threatening process that distinguishes it from any other threatening process, by reference to: (i) its biological and non-biological components; 1. (ii) the processes by which those components interact (if known). Form current as of November 2010 1 1. Feral deer in Australia - background Deer are hard-hoofed mammals (ungulates) of family Cervidae with a native distribution over Eurasia and the Americas. The first successful introductions into Australia were by acclimatisation societies in the 1800s. A history of their introduction can be found in Moriarty (2004). Of 18 species released, six species of three genera have established populations that currently survive and are the subject of this nomination (for a description see Van Dyck and Strahan 2008 and section 2 here): - Chital (Axis axis) - Hog Deer (Axis porcinus) - Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) - Rusa Deer (Cervus timorensis) - Sambar (Cervus unicolor) - Fallow Deer (Dama dama) Feral populations have established due to release by acclimatisation societies (7% of 218 populations identified in 2002); escapes and releases from deer farms (35%); and translocations, presumably for hunting (58%) (Moriarty 2004). The rapid growth in deer farming in the 1970s-80s (an annual 25% increase in the number of farmed deer) has been the source for the recent expansion in wild deer populations (Jesser 2005).

  • Visitor Guide NSW National Parks 2011 South Coast
    Sydney Bournda National Park South Coast An amazing strip of national parks follows the southern coastline, inviting you to discover and uncover. Along the coast, spotted gums, hundreds of years old, stretch to the sky, providing food and habitat to endangered native species. For some, the appeal is the colourful bird life and cheeky native animals. For others, it’s the grandeur of the endless blue ocean – sometimes calm, sometimes boisterous – as the waves crash noisily over the golden sand. Whales, dolphins, penguins and seals fi nd sanctuary here, while up in the sky you may spot a sea eagle gliding on the breeze. It warms the heart to know that this is how the South Coast will always be. Green Cape Lightstation at Ben Boyd National Park Photography: LEFT: A. Hutchings / DECCW, RIGHT: A.
