  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

    UR.lcr85"~ 56 1985/58. West Coast gravity tie stations R.G. Richardson M.J. Dix This report presents absolute gravity values for a series of tie stations on the west coast of Tasmania. Intervals were measured using Worden gravity meter W913 and Sodin gravity meter S183 with a minimum of six measurements of each interval. The measured interval between Hobart Airport and Strahan Airport was in error by 2.1 ~m/sec2 and between Strahan and Smithton Airports was in error by 0.2 ~/sec2. All observed gravity values have an error of less than 1 ~/sec2. The observed gravity values are given in Table I and the station locations are shown on Figure 1. Table 1.

  • TWWHA Walking Track Management Strategy 1994 Vol 1
    Walking Track Management Strategy for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Volume I Main Report January 1994 1 Summary The Walking Track Management Strategy is a strategy developed by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service for the management of walking tracks and walkers in and adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (WHA), in accordance with the recommendations of the World Heritage Area Management Plan. Key management issues in the region include the extensive deterioration of existing walking tracks and the unplanned development of new walking tracks in many areas. Campsite impacts, crowding, pollution and broadscale trampling damage to vegetation and soils are also creating serious problems in some areas. The Strategy has been prepared on the basis of an extensive literature survey and an inventory of tracks and track conditions throughout the WHA. Research has also been undertaken to assess usage levels, usage trends and user attitudes and characteristics throughout the WHA. The three-volume document includes: • a summary of the findings of the literature survey (section 2 and appendix B); • a description of the method used to compile the inventory of tracks and track conditions, and a summary of the findings of the inventory (section 3); • a summary of available information on usage levels, usage trends, user characteristics and attitudes and social impacts throughout the WHA (section 4 and appendix C); • an assessment of the opportunity spectrum for bushwalking in and adjacent to the WHA (section 5 and appendix

About the catchment The Gordon-Franklin catchment is the largest of the nominated 48 land & water management catchments in Tasmania (5,900 km 2), and lies almost completely within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The only significant human-related activity that has had a significant impact on the catchment has been the construction of a hydro-electric power scheme that resulted in the creation of the two largest lakes in Tasmania, Lake Pedder (242 km 2) and Lake Gordon (272 km 2).
