  • Goulburn River National Park and Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve
    1 GOULBURN RIVER NATIONAL PARK AND MUNGHORN GAP NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service February 2003 2 This plan of management was adopted the Minister for the Environment on 6th February 2003. Acknowledgments: This plan was prepared by staff of the Mudgee Area of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assistance of the steering committee for the preparation of the plan of management, particularly Ms Bev Smiles, is gratefully acknowledged. In addition the contributions of the Upper Hunter District Advisory Committee, the Blue Mountains Region Advisory Committee, and those people who made submissions on the draft plan of management are also gratefully acknowledged. Cover photograph of the Goulburn River by Michael Sharp. Crown Copyright 2003: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. 3 ISBN 0 7313 6947 5 4 FOREWORD Goulburn River National Park, conserving approximately 70 161 hectares of dissected sandstone country, and the neighbouring Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve with its 5 935 hectares of sandstone pagoda formation country, both protect landscapes, biology and cultural sites of great value to New South Wales. The national park and nature reserve are located in a transition zone of plants from the south-east, north-west and western parts of the State. The Great Dividing Range is at its lowest elevation in this region and this has resulted in the extension of many plants species characteristic of further west in NSW into the area. In addition a variety of plant species endemic to the Sydney Sandstone reach their northern and western limits in the park and reserve.

  • Dangar's Lagoon
    Dangar’s Lagoon Dangar’s Lagoon is situated approximately 4km south of Uralla along the Walcha Road. Water levels at the lagoon often vary dramatically from season to season, but despite this fact, many varieties of bird species call the lagoon home. During wet seasons, large numbers of water birds can be observed from the bird hide, located at the southern end of the lagoon. Over the years, more than 110 different bird species have been recorded at the lagoon. These include Great Crested Grebes, Blue- billed Ducks and Whiskered Terns. Swamp Harriers and Whistling Kites can be spotted cruising overhead, while Nankeen Night Herons roost in the dead trees. In nearby paddocks, you may flush a Stubble Quail, or set to flight Fairy Wrens or Golden Headed Cisticolas. History Dangar’s Lagoon is one of about thirty lagoons and swamps scattered along the Great Dividing Range within the New England Tablelands region. The New England Tablelands were formed by the uplift of granite and adamelite intrusions approximately 250 million years ago. They extended from Stanthorpe in southern Queensland to the Moonbi Range north of Tamworth. The process of erosion formed a large, relatively level tableland dissected on the eastern edge by the escarpment line and encroaching gorges such as Apsley and Wollomombi. In some locations, the closure of natural drainage areas by sediments gradually formed shallow wetlands, swamps and lagoons such as Dangar’s Lagoon. Although there is little detailed knowledge, the use of these wetlands by local Aboriginal people is likely to have been extensive and seasonally important.

  • Acacia Pendula (Weeping Myall)
    Cunninghamia Date of Publication: 17 December 2014 A journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia ISSN 0727- 9620 (print) • ISSN 2200 - 405X (Online) Acacia pendula (Weeping Myall) in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales: early explorers’ journals, database records and habitat assessments raise doubts over naturally occurring populations Stephen Bell1,3 & Colin Driscoll2 1 Eastcoast Flora Survey, PO Box 216 Kotara Fair NSW 2289, [email protected] 2 Hunter Eco, PO Box 1047 Toronto NSW 2283, [email protected] 3 School of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Newcastle, Callaghan NSW 2308 Abstract: Acacia pendula, Weeping Myall, (family Fabaceae) is the most legislatively protected plant species in the New South Wales Hunter Valley. Under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 it is listed as an Endangered Population (in the Hunter Valley) and as a component of two Endangered Ecological Communities (one in the Hunter, one elsewhere in NSW); it is also listed as a Critically Endangered Ecological Community (in the Hunter Valley) on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and listed as threatened in three other eastern Australian States. To ascertain the likely original distribution of stands of Acacia pendula in the Hunter Valley, this paper examines the writings of early Australian explorers, herbarium and database records, and the species habitat attributes across NSW. None of the journals examined, including those of botanist/explorer Allan Cunningham (who originally collected Acacia pendula from the Lachlan River in 1817), Thomas Mitchell or Ludwig Leichhardt, make note of the species for the Hunter Valley. Several explorers do, however, record Acacia pendula regularly (>100 times) across other parts of NSW, Queensland, and South Australia.

KNODLER, 22 Valentine Crescent, Valentine, NSW, Australia. CONTENTS Page Foreword 1 German Immigration to the Hunter Valley in the Mid 19th Century 8 Johann Gottlob and Anna Maria Knodler 20 John Frederick and Christiana Knodler 30 George and Louisa Knodler 38 Gottlob Henry and Anne Knodler 44 The Knodler Family since 1612 50 Earle Henry and Betsie Rebecca Knodler 98 1 <8ri man* Since the name Knodler is not uncommon in Germany, it had always seemed like an impossible task to trace the origins of the Knodler family. When in the 1970s one had only a page in the family Bible indicating the names of the first Knodlers to arrive in Australia, together with the information that they had come from Wurttemberg (a State in Germany) the possibility of tracing ancestors earlier than those of the Australian period seemed rather remote. This was also still the period when very little documentation was readily available to those who wished to chart their family tree. In 1971, I married Miss Judith Steller from Dural, NSW. Some time after this, a remarkable set of circumstances evolved which were to allow the gathering of information previously thought impossible to obtain. Judy's father, Mr Hugo Steller, had been born in Palestine. He was a member of a religious group formed when it left the Wurttemberg area in Germany in the 1800s to settle in Palestine.
