FThm this it follows quite logically that if we did&t have to begin IT, wetd get IT done in half the time. And that's precisely true, quite apart from any logic0 So if in the next issue you're suddenly launched into 'News from Near and Far' without so much as "Hulloa" or hIsn1t the weather perfectly lovely", you'll understand whyl Meanwhile, the weather is perfectly ghastly, and my eagerness to return to Cooleman Plains is becoming somewhat dampened as the weekend approaches. I P.W. An eventful and enjoyable trip. tWSOiEA.R AD FAR Srely it isn't really news to anyone that Naxine and Doug Wright are leaving us on 25th November to gd to Phnom Peith for two years0 Oh, yes, and Nicholas is going along too. Congratulations to Ed. and Chris Slater on the birth of a daughter. A little bit of our international flavour, i.e. Miep, is leaving us for a short trip home via U.S.A. and. Canada. But she'll be back; no dissatisfied migrant is our I'fi.ep. The President's bought a bike He's getting fit for his HARD walk. Dorothy Brown is at present at home recovering from her operation. She should be back hale and hearty in two week's time. On 2nd December Margery Everson sails for London where she'll be teaching on an exchange basis. Olive Hope also is going to England soon, after two weeks in New Zealand. Jack and Beth O'Halloran are •about to pack their bags and move to Tasmania. They'll have to holiday on the mainland nOw, ?trgaret Barrow, who's ben living in Perth for some months, is leaving for England on 20th November, Our sympathy to all members who are doing exams, finishing Ph.D. theses or engaging in anything equally gruelling. TUE CLUB LIBRARY The first thing I did when entrusted with the club library was to loso it. That will give you some idea of its size - the list below will confirm your opinion.

The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter.

  • 1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape
    1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape Bimberi Peak, Bimberi Nature LOCALITIES Reserve, part of Namadgi National Park Low Low Land Salt Load Salinity (in-stream) Brindabella 1:100 000 MAP SHEET Tantangara 1:100 000 Low EC (in-stream) CONFIDENCE LEVEL Moderate OVERVIEW The Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) extends in a north-south strip in the west of the ACT in the Namadgi National Park (Figure 1). The HGL covers an area of 80 km2 and receives 1000 to 1700 mm of rain per annum. Figure 1: Bimberi HGL distribution map. Bimberi HGL is defined by a soil landscape boundary of Bimberi Soil Landscape (Figure 2). There are high altitude (alpine) and sub alpine areas in the landscape, which is granitic, with small tors and rounded dome shaped hills. A feature of the landscape is large areas of peat wetlands in the higher landscape units, which have developed behind bedrock controlled areas or in depressions. This is different from Clear Range HGL, which has shallow rocky soils with steep slopes. Namadgi HGL is also a granitic landscape, with distinctive tors in the upper landscape. In the alpine area there are large numbers of peat bogs in the higher landscape units, with more water stored in Organosol soils. These areas act as a ‘sponges’ and influence the hydrology of the whole unit. Water movement is via through-flow, with constant delivery of water fed by the peats and the organosols in the higher altitudes to the lower landscape so that flow in the system often continues well after rain. There is high rainfall and runoff in the area and occasional snowfall which drives the water dynamics.
