  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

  • Welcome to the First Edition of RBDM's Family History Journal, a New
    Issue 16 Dear Colleagues It is with a sense of accomplishment that I announce we have reached the end of a long process to produce the new JP and Cdec handbooks. Since delivery, we have been busily preparing and dispatching copies of the handbook to meet your orders, and it is gratifying to see how popular they are. I want to thank you all for your patience while we worked through the process, as well as for the wonderful feedback many of you have provided. The concept of having loose leaf pages will prove worthwhile in time when updates to the handbooks are required. The new handbooks will be a valuable tool for years to come in your important community role. Also, we will continue to provide timely updates through Technical Bulletins on any relevant change. Recently, I received a copy of a JP Handbook from 1927 which outlined the powers and duties at the time for JPs in Queensland. It makes for interesting reading and highlighted how much things have changed. This handbook will be added to other memorabilia to be displayed at JP Branch. If you have anything that you think may also be historical to the role and would like to donate, please contact us to discuss. Also, this edition of the JP Bulletin contains information about advance health directives for mental health and witnessing Title Registry forms for “off the plan” purchase. With the release of both new handbooks and the continuing expansion of the volunteer JPs in the Community Program, this is truly an exciting time to be a JP or Cdec in Queensland.

  • Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers
    Northern Australia Climate Program CLIMATE SAVVY FOR GRAZING MANAGEMENT Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers What: ENSO has two active phases, El Niño and La Niña, and an inactive or neutral phase. When: Any time between June (start) to April (end). Main impacts of ENSO are usually from December to March. Events Madden-Julian Oscillation can span multiple years, which is more common with La Niña events. Where: Entire region, but increased impacts more likely near coast. What: A large band of clouds that influence alternating wet/dry conditions during the wet/summer season. The MJO can increase the availability of moisture in the area during an MJO ‘wet’ phase, leading to an increased chance of rain. How: El Niño tends to cause warmer days and less rainfall, fewer cyclones, and increase risk of spring frosts due to clear nights. La Niña tends to cause wetter weather, increased humidity, and an increased risk of cyclones and flooding. When: Year-round, but mainly during wet season (December to April). Day time temperatures are usually lower due to cloud cover. Where: Mostly in the tropics, but influence can extend into sub-tropics. Prediction lead time: How: Impact varies by season and location. About 2-3 months for a more reliable forecast, up to 6 months in advance for an indication of a possible ENSO event. We start looking for a possible ENSO event in April/May, but become more confident in the forecast in June/July. Period Wet Phases Dry Phases Note: There is a ‘prediction gap’ from about January to April when it is very difficult to know whether or not an June, July, August (minimal impact) 4 7 ENSO will develop in the coming winter.
