  • 3.3 Wombeyan Caves
    CHAPTER 3. CASE STUDIES 132 3.3 Wombeyan Caves Introduction Wombeyan Caves are located about 130 km to the south-west of Sydney (Figures 1.3 and 3.76). They are accessible by road from Mittagong or Goulburn and Taralga in the Southern Highlands (CMA Map 1976). Wombeyan Caves have been known to settlers since 1828 and developed for tourism since at least 1879 (Dyson et al. 1982). Wombeyan Caves Reserve is managed by the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust (the same body which manages Jenolan Caves) and is a popular area for camping, walking and tourism. The surrounding area is agricultural but much of it is steep and left in a natural state. For most of the karst area, the vegetation is eucalypt woodland and grassland. Vegetation along creeks is dominated by Casuarina sp. Within the Caves Reserve are a number of marble quarries (ML2, ML3, ML4). The creamy white marble was quarried by Melocco Bros. for building stone. A quarry run by Steetly Industries crushes marble for industrial products. Geological Setting Regional Geology Wombeyan Caves is about 19 km west of the western edge of the Sydney Basin. About 5 km to the west of Wombeyan Caves is a narrow belt of folded Ordovician sediments of the Triangle Group, trending N-S (Figure 3.75). These sediments are unconformably overlain further to the west by sandstones of the Upper Devonian Lambie Group which have developed in a syncline, forming a wide N-S trending belt (Cookbundoon Synclinorium). Silurian sediments, including a small amount of limestone, crop out about 20 km to the SE of Wombeyan Caves, SSW of Bullio.

  • The Vertebrate Fauna of Wollondilly River Nature Reserve Map 3: Records of Threatened Non-Passerine % Birds for Wollondilly River Nature Reserve $ S# and Environs S
    5 THREATENED SPECIES PROFILES This section provides a profile of each of the threatened fauna species that are known to occur within Wollondilly River NR, together with a few additional threatened species that are considered highly likely to occur. The aim of these profiles is to provide: • A background on the species biology. • A summary of threats to the species. • An assessment of the species’ distribution in the Sydney Basin and South Eastern Highlands Bioregions. • A map of known records of the species in the park and the surrounding five kilometres. • An appraisal of the distribution and status of the species in Wollondilly River NR and the surrounding area. Table 3 presents all of the threatened species listed on the Atlas of NSW Wildlife within five kilometres of reserve. During these surveys four threatened bird species and one threatened mammal species were recorded within the Wollondilly River NR. One other species (Squirrel Glider) had been previously recorded in the reserve but was not recorded during the surveys. A further three of both threatened bird and mammal species were recorded outside the reserve in these surveys, while two other threatened bird species have been previously recorded in close proximity but were not during these surveys. The Yellow-bellied Glider has been recorded in Joadja NR (Mills 2002) but as it is unlikely to occur in Wollondilly River NR, no profile has been written (though records are included in Map 5). A profile has been included for Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, though no records are in the Atlas at this stage. Table 3: Threatened Species recorded in and around Wollondilly River NR.

About seven years ago I mail ordered from Nesbits Orchids a small selection of their dormant tubers. The orchids come as little bulbs about the tip of your little finger in size. They come with instructions as to how to plant them and divide them later when they have multiplied. I have been successful with Pterostylis curta and will bring some to sell next year at one of our meetings. They are dormant in summer and appear in winter, flowering late Winter to Spring. I usually re pot mine in February. I strain the little bulbs through a plastic ricotta strainer and they seem to breed like rabbits - so I now have too many for my home garden. They need a protected spot, mine grow under our rhododendrons which give dappled light.

  • Teachers Notes for Bittangabee Tribe.Rb
    Teachers' Notes: Bittangabee Tribe www.aiatsis.gov.au Teachers’ Notes Bittangabee Tribe: An Aboriginal story from coastal New South Wales All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this material. If you believe something to be in error please contact Aboriginal Studies Press ([email protected]). INTRODUCTION Bittangabee Tribe tells the story of a family living on the coast of south-east Australia who travel to the Australian Alps in the summer to meet with other tribes and feast on Bogong moths. At the end of the season they travel back to their coastal home in time for the lobster season. It was written by Aboriginal students at the Eden campus of the Bega College of Technical and Further Education, using their traditional knowledge of the area and their culture. Bittangabee Tribe is an excellent jumping off point for studies into aspects of traditional Indigenous life, pre-colonisation. Its simplicity makes it an ideal text for study in the early and primary years, while the references to traditional life give it potential to be studied in later years as an introduction to issues such as: • Indigenous trading and trade routes • Aboriginal lifestyle pre-colonisation • bush tucker • traditional language and boundary divisions • Indigenous seasons. © Aboriginal Studies Press, AIATSIS Created by Polly Hemming 1 Teachers' Notes: Bittangabee Tribe www.aiatsis.gov.au CURRICULUM LINKS These notes do not provide prescriptive teaching ideas. Rather they provide the historical basis for the text so that teachers can see the value of having a text such as Bittangabee Tribe in the school library to teach all students about Aboriginal culture.

ISBN 0 7313 6095 8 FOREWORD Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve is one of four karst conservation reserves managed by the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust. Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve covers an area of 417 hectares and is within day-trip distance of Sydney, Wollongong, Goulburn and Canberra. It is a popular tourist destination and has won a number of tourism awards. The main attraction of the Reserve is the many caves with their spectacular formations and cave decorations. Four of the caves are used for guided tours while others provide for self-guided cave tours, adventure cave tours and speleological activities. The Reserve also provides for bushwalking, picnicking, barbecues, accommodation in dormitories and vans, camping and caravanning, school educational groups and conferences/workshops. The Reserve contains a range of natural and cultural features in addition to the caves. These include the spectacular Victoria Arch and Mares Forest Creek gorge, the uncommon Chalkers wattle, over 70 bird species, a range of mammals including five species of bats, and the most diverse invertebrate cave fauna recorded in the State.
