Graeme and Margaret Batey provided directions to some threatened flora populations. Several private property owners kindly granted access to threatened plant populations on their properties and allowed us to undertake additional surveys, while Heather Coleman (KINRMG) assisted with landowner contacts. Alex Buchanan and Matthew Baker of the Tasmanian Herbarium assisted with plant identifications, and Kim Hill (Tasmanian Herbarium) provided collection information. Michael Garrett confirmed the identification of Tmesipteris parva, and Dwayne Estes assisted with the confirmation of the identification of Gratiola pubescens.

Now, nearly 2000 km to the south, we have contracted to purchase the grazing lease on Hunter Island in Bass Strait, a 7300-ha jewel safeguarding threatened vegetation communities and bird and plant species at risk. Flying along the coastline of Hunter Island for the first time, I could hardly believe that we might be allowed the opportunity to protect this spectacular place for conservation. Its breathtaking scenery of rocky coves and white sandy beaches, wetlands, woodlands and heath surrounded by the surging power of the southern ocean, and its importance for conservation, made it seem like a jewel of inestimable value.

PHOTO: DAVE WATTS 1 LOCATION AND HISTORY Hunter Island, the largest island in the Hunter Group, lies six kilometres off the north-west tip of Tasmania.The island is 7330 ha in size, approximately 25 km long, and 6.5 km wide at its widest point.Three Hummock Island, another island in the group, is already managed for conservation. The highest point of the island lies at 90 m above sea level, from where low undulating hills roll away to the coast.

The understorey ranges from relatively open to dense. A diversity of species may be present, including eucalypts (or rainforest and wet sclerophyll species (including other species of Acacia) over a fern-dominated ground layer. In some areas of the south-west this community may be a semi- stable community growing in equilibrium with rainforest species. This community can also arise on previously cleared wet sclerophyll/mixed forest sites where eucalypt regeneration is poor.

    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.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.
