Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast. -

Ken Sapwell A bid to hide councillors’ expenses from public scrutiny appears set to come unstuck at this month’s council meeting. Greens councillor Katie Milne is expected to win majority support for a push to re-instate a list of councillors’ individual expenses tradition- ally published in an annual report. Senior council staff quietly axed the list fol- lowing the return of the new council in Sep- tember last year after the previous council was sacked in 2005 and administrators appointed. Chinderah-based councillor Kevin Skinner blew the whistle on the change when he de- scribed expenses being claimed by some coun- cillors on their trips away as ‘exorbitant.’ ‘I just don’t think it’s necessary for all the councillors to be going off to these things all the time,’ he complained, adding he had attended just one. Although he did not name names, he told the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary animal trainer Luke Chigwidden with the three-year-old Wedgetailed eagle nicknamed Miss Toby just before he last council meeting there should be a limit on released her in the Cudgera Creek area on Tuesday. Photo Luis Feliu the number of councillors attending conference and seminars and that they provide a report for Luis Feliu all the birds around here were harassing her, she they can chase their prey and scavenge. -
Heavy Metals in the Sediments of Northern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia
HEAVY METALS IN THE SEDIMENTS OF NORTHERN MORETON BAY, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA James Peter Brady B Ed (Sec), B AppSc (Chem), M AppSci (Research)(Chemistry) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Chemistry, Physics and Mechanical Engineering Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 i Keywords Bioavailability assessment; Bramble Bay; Contamination; Deception Bay; Enrichment Factor; Fraction analysis; Heavy metal distribution; Heavy metal enrichment; Modified Pollution Index; Nemerow Pollution Index; Pollution index; Sediment quality guidelines; Source apportionment; X-ray Fluorescence. Heavy metals in the sediments of Northern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia i ii Abstract Moreton Bay is located 14 kilometres east of the Brisbane Central Business District in Queensland, Australia. The Northern half of Moreton Bay (north of the Brisbane River) encompasses Deception and Bramble Bays, which are sanctuaries to endangered wildlife and migratory seabirds, along with a significant seafood industry. There have been few attempts to assess heavy metal pollution in Moreton Bay, resulting in a lack of understanding of heavy metal sources, distributions, temporal behaviour and bioavailability. The lack of this information has resulted in limited capacity to accurately assess the risk human health from heavy metals present in Northern Moreton Bay and to the ecosystem. This is the first work since the late 1970’s to assess sediment contamination within Northern Moreton Bay, model the pollution sources and heavy metal distributions and finally propose improved Sediment Quality Guidelines, pollution indices and a routine heavy metals monitoring program in order to assess and monitor the risk posed by heavy metals in the weak acid soluble fraction of the sediments in Deception and Bramble Bays. -
The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) in 2021
NSW Department of Education The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) in 2021 For NSW public schools, the table below shows the 2021 RAM funding. The 2021 RAM funding represents the total 2021 funding for the four equity loadings and the three base allocation loadings, a total of seven loadings. The equity loadings are socio-economic background, Aboriginal background, English language proficiency and low-level adjustment for disability. The base loadings are location, professional learning, and per capita. Changes in school funding are the result of changes to student needs and/or student enrolments.

Furse, Jason Coughran and Clyde H. Wild Abstract.—In addition to predicted changes Leckie, 2007) including in “vast” numbers in climate, more frequent and intense severe (Viosca, 1939; Olszewski, 1980). Mass weather events (e.g. tropical cyclones, severe emersions and mortalities have also been storms and droughts) have been identified as recorded in marine crayfish in hypoxic serious and emerging threats to the World’s conditions (Jasus lalandii H. Milne Edwards) freshwater crayfish. This paper documents a (Cockroft, 2001). It is also known that some single, high intensity rainfall event (in an area freshwater crayfish species are particularly known for phenomenal rainfall events) that led sensitive to severe flooding events (Parkyn & to a flash flood and mass mortality of Euastacus Collier, 2004; Meyer et al., 2007) and mass valentulus in the Numinbah Valley of southeast emersions/strandings have been reported in Queensland in 2008. -

FRESHWATER CRAYFISH (FAMILY PARASTACIDAE) OF QUEENSLAND WITH AN ApPENDIX DESORIBING OTHlm AV5'lHALIAN SPEClEf'. By E. F. HIEK. (;ommonwealth Scientific and Industrial l~csearch Organization - Divhdon of Entomology, Canberra, A.C.T. (Figures 1-13.) Freshwater crayfish occur in almost every body of fresh water from artificial damfl and natural billabongs (I>tanding water) to headwater creeks and large rivers (flowing water). Generally the species are of considerable size and therefore easily collected, but even so many of the larger forms are unknown scientifically. This paper deals with all the species that have been collected from Queensland. It also includes a few species from New South Wales and other States. No doubt additional species will be found and some of the mOre variable series, at present included under the one specific namc, will be further subdivided. From Queensland nine species are described as new, making a total of seventeen species (of three genera) recorded from that State. The type localities of all but two of these species are in Queensland but some are not restricted to the State. Clark's 1936 and subsequent papers have been used as the basis for further taxonomic studies of the Australian freshwater crayfish. -
