  • Waverton Peninsula
    Waverton Peninsula Introduction The suburb of Waverton takes its name from A walking tour of Waverton’s Waverton House built by Joseph Purser in 1845 Industrial Heritage on land purchased from Alexander Berry. William Carr and later his widow, Charlotte, owned the house from 1850-1865. The Old Distance: 4 km family owned it from 1865-1974. Sadly, the Approximate time: 2 hours house was then demolished. Grading: low to medium The whole of Waverton (including Balls Head) was part of the large Wollstonecraft land grant (524 acres). Edward Wollstonecraft and Alexander Berry were business partners who settled on this side of the harbour and built Crows Nest Cottage - from which the suburb of Crows Nest takes its name. The Berry/Wollstonecraft partnership also received land on the South Coast at the Shoalhaven River. Alexander Berry was married to Elizabeth Wollstonecraft (Edward's sister) and after Edward's early death in 1832; Alexander and Elizabeth shared the partnership. Elizabeth died in 1845 and their impressive pyramid shaped tomb stands as a memorial to her in St Thomas' Rest Park. Upon Alexander Berry's death in 1872 the land at Coolangatta (on the Shoalhaven) and in North Sydney passed to David Berry - the town of Berry bears his name. This walking tour will take you on a tour of the Waverton Peninsula’s three ex-industrial sites: Caltex, Balls Head Coal Loader and BP, as well as the former Quarantine Launch Depot and the adjoining boat maintenance yards on the western shores of Berrys Bay. Other sites of historical interest will also feature along the way.

Daneliya Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, POB 65, 00014, University of Helsinki, Finland; and Taxonomicum, Sydäntie 8 E 16, 01400, Vantaa, Finland Abstract. The mysid fauna of the Tasman Sea and its Australian coast, in particular, is barely known. The first special study of the subfamily Heteromysinae (family Mysidae) in the waters of New South Wales, based on the collections in the Australian Museum, yielded seven species of the genus Heteromysis (tribe Heteromysini). The Tasman Sea species of Heteromysis are distributed among three subgenera: Heteromysis s. str., Gnathomysis and Olivemysis. New species of Heteromysis include H. (H.) keablei, sp. nov. and H. (O.) murrayae sp. nov. The Tasman Sea members of the subgenus Heteromysis s. str., together with a number of other congeners, form a group of species with a particular structure of the pereopod 1 endopod and antennulae. Comparative review of the species of Heteromysis resulted in species rearrangement of another Heteromysini member, the genus Heteromysoides (for which a type species is fixed herein), with its species divided betweenHeteromysis , Platyops and Deltamysis (the tribe Mysidetini). Platyops is transferred to Heteromysini. Introduction Wales coast, despite being the most developed coastal area of the country, has remained almost unknown.

A total of 237 species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are reported for the Australian region, including seamounts off the eastern coast. Two new genera (Lissotrochus and Stolarskicyathus) and 15 new species are described: Crispatotrochus gregarius, Paracyathus darwinensis, Stephanocyathus imperialis, Trochocyathus wellsi, Conocyathus formosus, Dunocyathus wallaceae, Foveolocyathus parkeri, Idiotrochus alatus, Lissotrochus curvatus, Sphenotrochus cuneolus, Placotrochides cylindrica, P. minuta, Stolarskicyathus pocilliformis, Balanophyllia spongiosa, and Notophyllia hecki. Also, one new combination is proposed: Petrophyllia rediviva. Each species account includes an annotated synonymy for all Australian records as well as reference to extralimital accounts of significance, the type locality, and deposition of the type. Tabular keys are provided for the Australian species of Culicia and all species of Conocyathus and Placotrochides. A discussion of previous studies of Australian azooxanthellate corals is given in narrative and tabular form.
