Olive May did a good Tasmania job for years but there is room for so much more now! No 5 Paula Sheppy As many successful tourist communities do, we need to have a brand or image ie Geeveston with wood, Byron Bay with bohemian, Cygnet with folk, Margaret River with wine etc etc. As it has massive opportunity, suggest ours is CLASSY 'bohemian'; boho, gypset, multicultural, nature focused, natural, adventurous, laid back, earthy, unconventional, free spirited, educational, etc We need a classy, laid back, cosy fire placed, 'boho'ish' pub/restaurant that offers a point of difference & is worth travelling especially to Dover for. It's range of local spirits, ciders, wines? Food only from Huon produce? Guest chefs?mulled wine for winters? A festival we are identified with because we're the only ones that do it; thats where the boho or gypsy theme is important. We could have a summer & winter gypsy/boho festival? A collaborative approach to marketing by all local businesses, with a local commercial group established. Establish a community group, making meetings fun & not overly formal. Community activities or events to foster involvement & engagement While I'm tossing up another business idea at the moment (clothing label), I would happily rethink this for something worthwhile locally to invest my time & money into as a partnership etc No 7 Wren Fraser Cameron No 6 John Doubleday I'm sure that Hope Island will prove Such a beautiful place a popular focus.

The old Casey museum site could be turned into an artists co-operative to be a one stop shop to showcase the many talented artists and craftspeople in the Far South. Old industrial buildings (I think it was the Apple Factory) have a natural charm that lend themselves to clever conversions. The yacht club would make a fantastic seaside cafe/restaurant although the club may not be keen. perhaps some pop up gigs with visiting chefs could be trialled. Sculpture trails are popular with tourists and there is already good foreshore walking infrastructure - another competition to invite artits to interpret Dover past and present. A project to encourage the planting of bird attracting native plants would increase the charm of the town - we seem to have lost a lot of native tree and shrub coverage in recent years and the street scaping in the main drag is a bit underwhelming.

  • CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club Trip 1972 by Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014
    CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club trip 1972 By Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014 Our anti clockwise route towards and up Federation Peak is depicted in orange above, with the exception of our detour off the loop to climb Burgess Bluff. We subsequently camped at Pineapple Flat, scrub bashed our way to Mount Picton, and eventually walked out to Blakes Opening along an unexpectedly civilized track. Map credit: Bill Filson 7 January 1972 We packed all our gear and then went shopping. We expect to be out for 7-10 days, and after packing the necessary food and excess, the food bill tallied 26 dollars for four, quite a lot of money. We went to local camping stores and got some extra equipment, then called in to chat with a few guys who could tell us something about the walk. We repacked everything after a counter lunch in a pub and off we went. We walked quite a way out of the main street of Hobart. Greg and I started hitching and were lucky, getting a lift with a guy who was going camping himself. I guess I was rather forward but I asked him if he’d mind picking up our two friends who were on the road already. He didn’t seem to mind, so we were all driven down to Geeveston. Had a few refreshments there and left details at the police station and gear at the council chambers. It was rather late to get a lift, it being 4.30 pm, but a local housewife drove all of us a few miles out of town.

  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 148: 43–59. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.148.43 ISSN 0080-4703 Department of Archaeology & Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia (MM*, SH); School of Geography & Environmental Studies, Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology, University of Tasmania, Hobart 7001, Tasmania, Australia (CS); School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology, University of Tasmania, Hobart 7001, Tasmania, Australia (DB, SW). *Author for correspondence. Email: [email protected] Cut-back of a sea-cliff at Hannant Inlet in remote South-West Tasmania has exposed Oligocene clays buried under Late Pleistocene “collu- vium” from which abundant wood fragments protrude. The two units are separated by a transitional interval defined by mixed Oligocene and Pleistocene microfloras. Microfloras preserved in situ in the clay provide a link between floras in Tasmania and other Southern Hemisphere landmasses following onset of major glaciation in East Antarctica during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (c. 34 Ma).

  • Recent Wildfires in the Tasmanian Wilderness
    Recent wildfires in the Tasmanian Wilderness The 2016 and 2019 Tasmanian wildfires burnt upwind of the most important Gondwanan refuges that remain - Mt Anne, Mt Bobs, Federation Peak and the Eastern Arthurs, New River headwaters, the Du Cane Range, the Walls of Jerusalem, Mt Read, the Tyndall Range, the lower Gordon River and the entire Tarkine rainforest (Huskisson River in the south and the Rapid River in the north). Aerial documentation of the south-eastern part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) in March 2019 shows that fire damage to sensitive vegetation, although not wholly catastrophic, was extensive and locally extremely severe. For many areas the consequences will be permanent. A small selection of images from the flight is included below. Of even greater concern than the damage done, however, was that, with uncontrolled fire widespread through the landscape in 2016 and 2019, a brief period of severe or catastrophic fire conditions would have obliterated Tasmania’s most important stands of Gondwanic vegetation. In hot, dry, windy conditions rainforest does burn – the Southern Ranges, Mt Picton, the Raglan Range, Frenchmans Cap, Mt Murchison, Algonkian Mountain, the upper Jane River, the Meredith Range and many other places bear grim testament to that. The effects of climate change, combined with the absence of an effective means of immediately suppressing remote wildfires, pose a catastrophic threat to irreplaceable Gondwanan flora. This vegetation forms a major component of the Outstanding Universal Value of the TWWHA. Important tracts of these ancient life forms also occur outside the TWWHA. Climate change is creating unprecedented levels of dry-lightning strikes and resultant wildfires in the Tasmanian wilderness.
