    The Great Dividing Range Dominates the East Coast and Offers Waterfalls from Dizzy Heights WORDS and PHOTOS by MURRAY and MARGARET SEEN T86852

    You shall pass - Old Grafton Road, NSW THE LONG DIVISION The Great Dividing Range dominates the east coast and offers waterfalls from dizzy heights WORDS AND PHOTOS BY MURRAY AND MARGARET SEEN T86852 – THE WANDERER JULY 2016 – 24 THE GREAT DIVIDING RANGE read with interest the article Not Conquer the Divide in the May issue of The Wanderer. We began touring in I1965 with a Kombi van, and had always been peeved by signs that read four-wheel-drive only, hence the eventual move to 4X4. In 2014, we bought a 4X4 motorhome, an Explorer based on a Mitsubishi Triton. We had come across the Top End from WA via Jim Jim and Twin Falls and up to Cooktown through the Daintree and the Bloomfield Track. We decided to do a waterfall crawl down the east coast so we got ourselves into the Great Divide at the earliest opportunity. We travelled largely on unsealed roads and forestry tracks including some fire breaks, coming out of the bush only to replenish our fuel; food for us and diesel for the vehicle. We spent 11 days in the Atherton Tablelands, where there are dozens of beautiful waterfalls. These range from the ‘almost perfect’ Milla Milla Falls to the tiny cascades on local creeks. We were lucky that we had two days of heavy rain which made the falls all the more interesting. It also made the tracks interesting and the edges soft. We ventured onto a narrow track to Tully Gorge where about half way down we met a large motorised crane heading out.

CARTWRIGHT 13 Brolga Crescent, Wandana Heights, Victoria 3216, Australia ([email protected]) Abstract Cartwright, D.I. 2012. Two further species groups and new species among Australian Hydrobiosella Tillyard: new species from south-eastern Australia (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 69: 245–258. Eleven philopotamid caddisfly species in the genus Hydrobiosella Tillyard are newly described from Australia, based on small differences in features of the male genitalia. These species are placed in two new species groups, one based on H. letti Korboot, the other on H. bandabanda sp. nov. The five species of the Hydrobiosella bandabanda group, all newly described here: H. bandabanda, H. jibboor, H. jirrima, H. tarrong and H. tiarka, share features of phallus with two or more embedded spines subapically and both preanal appendages and parameres absent. Females of four of these species are also figured in part. All five species are endemic to the eastern half of Victoria, mainland Australia. The H. letti species group comprises seven species: Hydrobiosella bifurca, H. bos, H. excilatas, H. fibra, H. incisura, H. letti Korboot and H. tenuitas, united in having features such as elongate, nearly straight parameres arising near middle to base of phallus, no obvious spines in phallus and presence of preanal appendages. Females of two of these species are also partly figured.
