  • Governor Island MARINE RESERVE
    VISITING RESERVES Governor Island MARINE RESERVE Governor Island Marine Reserve, with its spectacular underwater scenery, is recognised as one of the best temperate diving locations in Australia. The marine reserve includes Governor Island and all waters and other islands within a 400m diameter semi-circle from the eastern shoreline of Governor Island (refer map). The entire marine reserve is a fully protected ‘no-take’ area. Fishing and other extractive activities are prohibited. Yellow zoanthids adorn granite boulder walls in the marine reserve. These flower-like animals use their tentacles to catch tiny food particles drifting past in the current. Getting there Photo: Karen Gowlett-Holmes Governor Island lies just off Bicheno – a small fishing and resort town on Tasmania’s east coast.

    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 3, No. 2, 2008, pp. 153-162 Writing Tasmania’s “Different Soul” Danielle Wood School of English, Journalism and European Languages University of Tasmania Australia [email protected] Abstract: The narrator of Christopher Koch's 1958 novel The Boys in the Island claims for Tasmania “a different soul”, distinct from that of the Australian mainland to the north, in the same breath in which he claims for the island “a different weather”. Observations of the distinctiveness of island geography and weather – and of the quality of the light – are recurrent in narratives set not only in Tasmania, but also on those islands to which Tasmania itself acts as a ‘mainland’. This paper surveys a range of texts, including Koch’s The Boys in the Island , Joanna Murray-Smith’s Truce , and my own The Alphabet of Light and Dark , in which a Tasmanian island functions both as a setting for the protagonist's idealized childhood and as a metaphor for the protagonist’s “true self”. It explores the representation of islands in these texts, examining how a specific tradition of writing about Tasmania intersects with a broader tradition of writing about islands. Keywords : Australia, distinctiveness, islands, mainland, Tasmania © 2008 - Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction “Tasmania is an island of hills, a fragment separated from the parent continent by a wide stretch of sea. It is different from the hot Australian mainland; it has a different weather and a different soul” (Koch, 1958: 8). For as long as Tasmania (formerly Van Diemen’s Land) has been written about, it has been defined in terms of what it is not, depicted always in opposition to the mainland of continental Australia.

  • Freycinet Resort Development
    FREYCINET RESORT Expansion and Development Plans DESCRIPTION Stylish, comfortable accommodation in a wilderness setting on Tasmania’s beautiful East Coast. Freycinet Resort is a ten-cabin ecofriendly resort situated at Mt. Paul on the edge of the Freycinet National Park near Coles Bay on Tasmania’s beautiful East Coast. The resort has received development approval from Glamorgan Spring Bay Council to build an additional 28 units as visitor accommodation, a redeveloped reception, restaurant, and amenities building as well as a number of additional units as staff accommodation. The resort aims to provide a luxury experience for a reasonable price, striving for superior customer service for its guests. Situated on top of Mt. Paul the resort boasts skylines to both Friendly Beaches and across the Freycinet Peninsula. It is peppered with high quality art – sculptures and installations for visitors to experience as they wander the property. We also have a license to operate a guided walking experience through the fire trails and tracks of the Freycinet National Park which will be operated with the Resort as its base. Once the resort is increased in size to 38 units and with the guided walking experience that resort will contribute to the goal of increased visitation. Once the Tasmanian borders are open to tourists once again this will be a key contribution to East Coast tourism visitation and yield and the recovery from the impact of COVID-19. Aligning strongly with the T21 Visitor Economy Action Plan 2020-2022 this development will contribute to the recovery from the effects of COVID-19 on our tourism sector.

It has the nation's most comprehensive reserve system forming the cornerstone for the sustainable use of Victoria's terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. In 2020, these 'jewels in Victoria's crown' are highly valued by the local community and international visitors. As our understanding of the biodiversity of Victoria increased many 'conservation' issues were resolved because there was an increased awareness of what each component added to the health of the environment.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants.
