A Century of Storms, Fire, Flood and Drought in New South Wales, Bureau Of
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology celebrated its centenary as a Commonwealth Government Agency in 2008. It was established by the Meteorology Act 1906 and commenced operation as a national organisation on 1 January 1908 through the consoli- dation of the separate Colonial/State Meteorological Services. The Bureau is an integrated scientific monitoring, research and service organisation responsible for observing, understanding and predicting the behaviour of Australia’s weather and climate and for providing a wide range of meteorological, hydrological and oceanographic information, forecasting and warning services. The century-long history of the Bureau and of Australian meteorology is the history of the nation – from the Federation Drought to the great floods of 1955, the Black Friday and Ash Wednesday bushfires, the 1974 devastation of Darwin by cyclone Tracy and Australia’s costliest natural disaster, the Sydney hailstorm of April 1999. It is a story of round-the-clock data collection by tens of thousands of dedicated volunteers in far-flung observing sites, of the acclaimed weather support of the RAAF Meteorological Service for southwest Pacific operations through World War II and of the vital role of the post-war civilian Bureau in the remarkable safety record of Australian civil aviation. And it is a story of outstanding scientific and technological innovation and international leadership in one of the most inherently international of all fields of science and human endeavour. Although headquartered in Melbourne, the Bureau has epitomised the successful working of the Commonwealth with a strong operational presence in every State capital and a strong sense of identity with both its State and its national functions and responsibilities.

Kangaroo Island, NSW South Coast, Alpine Region & Victorian East
FIRES UPDATE Kangaroo Island, NSW South Coast, Alpine Region & Victorian East Gippsland 06 January 2020 Dear All, Please find below the latest update on the bushfire crisis currently occurring in certain parts of Australia. Goway has been proactively contacting and have successfully relocated all clients whose travel plans will be impacted by these fires. Kangaroo Island Fire On the evening of Friday 3rd January, a fire situation escalated rapidly and without warning on Kangaroo Island, which has resulted in the loss of key tourism infrastructure on the western side of the Island, including Southern Ocean Lodge, and Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary & Cabins. The eastern side of the island has been unaffected by the fire. Firefighters on the island have been battling fires since before Christmas, but extreme temperatures and wind caused the blaze to go dangerously out of control resulting in the destruction of much of the Flinders Chase National Park. Goway is pleased to say that as of Friday evening, there were no Goway booked clients on the island. Summary: Sealink have confirmed that all day tours are cancelled for today 6th January and likely Tuesday 7th. Further updates will be provided as to the status moving forward. We are proactively re-booking affected clients that are due to stay over the coming days and taking advise from our supplier partners. For clients with accommodation in the ‘current’ safe areas, it may be ok to travel later in the week. These areas include, Penneshaw, Kingscote, American River & Willougby. Please see the image below for the location of the properties that are presently unaffected.
