  • LATE WISCONSIN GLACIATION of TASMANIA by Eric A
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 130(2), 1996 33 LATE WISCONSIN GLACIATION OF TASMANIA by Eric A. Calhoun, David Hannan and Kevin Kiernan (with two tables, four text-figures and one plate) COLHOUN, E.A., HANNAN, D. & KIERNAN, K., 1996 (xi): Late Wisconsin glaciation of Tasmania. In Banks, M. R. & Brown, M.F. (Eds): CLIMATIC SUCCESSION AND GLACIAL HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OVER THE LAST FIVE MILLION YEARS. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 130(2): 33-45. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.130.2.33 ISSN 0080-4703. Department of Geography, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, Australia 2308 (EAC); Department of Physical Sciences, University of Tasmania at Launceston, Tasmania, Australia 7250 (DH); Forest Practices Board ofTasmania, 30 Patrick Street, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7000 (KK). During the Late Wisconsin, icecap and outlet glacier systems developed on the West Coast Range and on the Central Plateau ofTasmania. Local cirque and valley glaciers occurred in many other mountain areas of southwestern Tasmania. Criteria are outlined that enable Late Wisconsin and older glacial landforms and deposits to be distinguished. Radiocarbon dates show Late Wisconsin ice developed after 26-25 ka BP, attained its maximum extent c. 19 ka BP, and disappeared from the highest cirques before 10 ka BP. Important Late Wisconsin age glacial landforms and deposits of the West Coast Range, north-central and south-central Tasmania are described. Late Wisconsin ice was less extensive than ice formed during middle and earlier Pleistocene glaciations. Late Wisconsin snowline altitudes, glaciological conditions and palaeodimatic conditions are outlined. Key Words: glaciation, Tasmania, Late Wisconsin, snowline altitude, palaeoclimate.

  • Corkery Daniel Frederick 4748
    LANCE CORPORAL DANIEL FREDERICK CORKERY 4748 – 3rd Tunnelling Company Daniel Frederick Corkery was born at Ringarooma, Tasmania on 11 June 1896, the son of Daniel Edward and Margaret (nee Kay) Corkery. Zeehan and Dundas Herald, Tasmania – Wednesday 24 February 1909: LYELL LOST IN THE BUSH. On Sunday, at about mid-day, a party consisting of Jack Venn and two boys named, Corkery left with the intention of visiting Lake Beatrice. Their non-return by 10 o'clock that same evening caused some anxiety to the parents. Later on Messrs Venn, Chapman, and Corkery went out to see what they could do, but were forced to return, as the night was dark. The boys, however, turned up at their homes at about 9 o'clock on Monday morning. They had evidently become 'bushed,' and had spent the night by the side of a warm fire. The North Western Advocate and Emu Bay Times, Tasmania- Thursday 19 October 1911 FOR VALOR. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY AWARDS. TASMANIAN RECIPIENTS. HOBART, Wednesday— Royal Humane Society awards were presented by the Governor to the following recipients to-day: — Bronze Medal. — John Henry Venn, Linda, Tasmania, miner, aged 17, who risked his life in attempting to rescue John William Harding, aged 18, and Henry Lodge, aged 17, and in rescuing Daniel Corkery, aged 19, from drowning in the King River, Gormanston, Tasmania, on February 27, 1910. Several young men had been bathing, when Harding and Lodge got into difficulties, and while struggling with one another sank. Venn dived in and separated them, but as Harding attempted to swim away Lodge caught him by the legs, and the three sank together.

Project description This is an NRM funded project being run through Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (University of Tasmania) in Hobart for a duration of approximately 12 months. This project is an extension of past and current work on environmental condition of estuaries conducted by the Estuarine Ecology group at TAFI. It builds on a similar project “Establishment of an Integrated Water Quality Monitoring Framework for Georges Bay”. We hope to implement a similar process with estuaries and coastal waters in the Cradle Coast region, aiming to involve as many stakeholders as possible including councils, community groups, industries, state government and research institutes.
