Best Western Airport Hotel Day 2 Monday, 12th October Flight to King Island - Currie Museum BLD Travel to Tullamarine airport to board your Rex flight to King Island this morning. King Island is rich in history, with shipwrecks, lighthouses and jagged reefs, bountiful with long stretching sandy beaches and lush green pastures. On arrival be welcomed to King Island and escorted to your coach. Stop for lunch and explore Currie, the main town on the island. Visit the Currie Museum housed in the old lighthouse keeper’s residence. Discover the island history where there is an emphasis on material from shipwrecks and view the nearby wrought iron structure of Currie Lighthouse which was prefabricated in England and sent to King Island in 312 pieces to be assembled in 1879.

Follow the walking track to the viewing platform overlooking the 7,000 year old remains of an ancient forest revealed when the lime laden sand, which had covered and preserved its stumps, trunks and branches, was blown away. Next stop is Grassy which boomed with the scheelite mine from 1970 until it closed in 1990, but it’s due to reopen soon. Grassy is also a popular deep-water fishing harbour and home to King Island Kelp Craft, where they have perfected a method of drying and manipulating the kelp so that the finished product gives the effect of fashioned leather or ceramics. Travel to the east coast past City of Melbourne Bay to Naracoopa and admire the white sandy beaches of Sea Elephant Bay. After our evening meal at Rocky Glen we return to Grassy to view the fairy penguins at dusk as they parade to their nests. Return to Currie watching out for more wildlife.

Day 4 Wednesday 14th October Penny’s Lagoon ~ Cape Wickham ~ King Island Cheese BLD As we travel north today, watch out for wild turkeys crossing the road, peacocks, geese and ringneck pheasants feeding in roadside paddocks. View the Yellow Rock River and the panoramas of Christmas and New Year Islands from Yellow Rock Beach. Visit Penny’s Lagoon, a suspended lake (one of only three in the world). Continue to beautiful Martha Lavinia Beach where the miles of pale sand are a drawcard for surfers, fishermen and shell collectors. Standing proudly at the northern most tip of the Island, Cape Wickham Lighthouse, built in 1861 using local granite, is the tallest lighthouse in the Southern hemisphere. Reflect on the heartbreak of shipwrecks as you view the gravestones of the crews of the “Neva” and “Loch Leven” and gaze out across Bass Strait at the distant wreck sites. During the return to Currie visit the world-renowned King Island Dairy for opportunity to taste the speciality cheese in the Fromagerie and purchase from the range of delicious prize-winning dairy products. Relax at your accommodation tonight and enjoy the sunset across the water during dinner.

    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.

The local Government resident population at the 2016 census was 906 and rose 16 % between the last two censuses. The Flinders Island Tourism & Business Inc. (FITBI)represents 70 members across retail, tourism, fishing and agriculture. It plays a key role in developing the visitor economy through marketing to potential visitors as well as attracting residents to the island. In 2016, FITBI launched a four-year marketing program. The Flinders Island Airport at Whitemark is the gateway to the island. It has been owned by the Flinders Council since hand over by the Commonwealth Government in the early 1990’s. Being a remote a community the airport is a critical to the island from a social and economic point of view. It’s the key connection to Tasmania (Launceston) and Victoria. The local residents must use air transport be that for health or family reasons. The high cost of the air service impacts on the cost of living as well as discouraging visitors to visit the island. It is particularly hard for low income families. The only access via sea is with the barge, Matthew Flinders 11, operated by Furneaux Freight out of Bridport. This vessel has very basic facilities for passengers and takes 8hours one way.

    TASMANIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Incorporated WYNYARD AIPORT – a BREIF HISTORY Wynyard Airport – a Brief History the Fi

    TASMANIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Incorporated WYNYARD AIPORT – A BREIF HISTORY Wynyard Airport – A Brief History Author: W Dearing, December 2020 The first aerodrome at Wynyard was built by volunteers on an old racecourse. However, within a year of completion in 1932, the aerodrome was found to be too small for larger passenger and mail aircraft. A larger aerodrome was developed on the southern outskirts of the town and was officially opened on 26 February 1934. A further opening ceremony on 1st January 1935 was attended by the Prime Minister of the time, Joseph Lyons. This early development is described in this article on or website. In the mid-1970s, Federal policy was adopted that would eventually see the ownership and maintenance of all airports outside of capital cities transferred from the Commonwealth to the respective local authorities. Under the new scheme, the future of the Wynyard Aerodrome was cast into doubt after Federal funding was secured for upgrading the Devonport Airport in August 1980; few if any areas of regional Australia had two major commuter and cargo airports only 60 km apart, would Wynyard also be upgraded ? After much political controversy, it wasn't until March 1985 that Wynyard’s future was assured when AU$5.2 million was allocated by the State and Federal governments to upgrade the Wynyard aerodrome. The upgraded aerodrome was officially opened on 15 February 1987, incorporating a sealed runway 1650 m long. Ownership had been transferred from the Commonwealth to the Burnie Port Authority and the Wynyard Aerodrome was renamed to Burnie Airport. The Burnie Airport Corporation Unit Trust acquired the Burnie Airport from the Burnie Port Corporation in 2001.

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.

    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.

  • Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the Nine Teenth Century—Population and Land

    Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the Nine Teenth Century—Population and Land

    ‘I hope you will be my frend’: Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the nine­ teenth century—population and land tenure Irynej Skira Abstract This paper traces the history of settlement of the islands of the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait and the effects of government regulation on the long term settlements of Tasma­ nian Aboriginal people from the 1850s to the early 1900s. Throughout the nineteenth century the Aboriginal population grew slowly eventually constituting approximately 40 percent of the total population of the Furneaux Group. From the 1860s outsiders used the existing land title system to obtain possession of the islands. Aborigines tried to establish tenure through the same system, but could not compete because they lacked capital, and were disadvantaged by isolation in their communication with gov­ ernment. Further, the islands' use for grazing excluded Aborigines who rarely had large herds of stock and were generally not agriculturalists. The majority of Aborigines were forced to settle on Cape Barren Island, where they built homes on a reserve set aside for them. European expansion of settlement on Flinders Island finally completed the disen­ franchisement of Aboriginal people by making the Cape Barren Island enclave depend­ ent on the government. Introduction In December 1869 Thomas Mansell, an Aboriginal, applied to lease a small island. He petitioned the Surveyor-General, T hope you will be my Frend...I am one of old hands Her, and haf Cast and have large family and no hum'.1 Unfortunately, he could not raise £1 as down payment. Mansell's was one of the many attempts by Aboriginal people in the Furneaux Group to obtain valid leasehold or freehold and recognition of their long term occupation.
