  • Around the Bend
    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 1 March 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 86–106 Emily Bullock 2012 Around the Bend The Curious Power of the Hills around Queenstown, Tasmania EMILY BULLOCK UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA Approaching the town of Queenstown you can’t help but be taken aback by the sight of the barren hillsides, hauntingly bare yet strangely beautiful. This lunar landscape has a majestic, captivating quality. In December 1994 after 101 years of continuous mining—A major achievement for a mining company—the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company called it a day and closed the operation thus putting Queenstown under threat of becoming a ghost town. Now, with the mine under the ownership of Copper Mines of Tasmania, the town and the mine are once again thriving. Although Queenstown is primarily a mining town, it is also a very popular tourist destination offering visitors unique experiences. So, head for the hills and discover Queenstown—a unique piece of ‘Space’ on earth.1 In his discussion of the labour of the negative in Defacement: Public Secrecy and the Labour of the Negative, Michael Taussig opens out into a critique of criticism. ISSN 1837-8692 Criticism, says Taussig, is in some way a defacement, a tearing away at an object that ends up working its magic on the critic and forging a ‘curious complicity’ between object and critic.2 Taussig opens up a critical space in which to think with the object of analysis, cutting through transcendental critique, as a critical defacement, which, in the very act of cutting, produces negative energy: a ‘contagious, proliferating, voided force’ in which the small perversities of ‘laughter, bottom-spanking, eroticism, violence, and dismemberment exist simultaneously in violent silence’.3 This complicity in thinking might be charged by critical methodologies which engage in, and think through, peripatetic movements.

  • Water Management in the Anthony–Pieman Hydropower Scheme
    Water management in the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme Pieman Sustainability Review June 2015 FACT SHEET Background The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme provides a highly valued and reliable source of electricity. The total water storage of the hydropower scheme is 512 gigalitres and the average annual generation is 2367 gigawatt hours. Construction of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme has resulted in creation of water storages (lakes) and alterations to the natural flow of existing rivers and streams. The Pieman Sustainability Review is a review of operational, social and environmental aspects of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme that are influenced by Hydro Tasmania. This fact sheet elaborates on water management issues presented in the summary report, available at http://www.hydro.com.au/pieman-sustainability-review Water storage levels in the Anthony–Pieman Water levels have been monitored at these storages since hydropower scheme their creation in stages between 1981 and 1991. The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme includes eight Headwater storages: Lake Mackintosh and Lake water storages, classified as headwater storages (Lakes Murchison Mackintosh and Murchison), diversion storages (Lakes Lakes Mackintosh and Murchison are the main headwater Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond) and run-of-river storages for the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme. storages (Lakes Rosebery, Plimsoll and Pieman). Lakes The water level fluctuates over the entire operating range Murchison, Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond do not from Normal Minimum Operating Level (NMOL) to Full release water directly to a power station; rather they are Supply Level (FSL) (Figures 1, 2). used to transfer water to other storages within the scheme.

These units are host to a number of large VHMS deposits in the nearby area, including Rosebery Pb-Zn, Hellyer Zn-Pb-Ag-Au and the large copper deposits of the Mount Lyell field. The licence area has been the site of historical copper mining in the 1890’s to early 1900’s. Concerted modern exploration for base metal VHMS deposits has continued since the 1950’s. Following review of historical and 2 aeromagnetic data 51 kmP P has been identified as non-prospective and marked for release. 2 Introduction The Selina Exploration Licence 29/2002, a 24 km long by 5 km wide belt, is located in Western Tasmania, between Queenstown to the south and Rosebery to the north. EL 29/2002 is found on the Sophia (8014) and Franklin (8013) 1:100,000 map sheets, and initially covered an area of 2 109kmP .P Topography is rugged and varied, comprising steep timbered slopes with deeply incised valleys and gentler button grass marshland on elevated plateau’s and broad plains.

    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.

  • 1. AA FINAL AMENDED FINAL FORMAT 2 Briseis Water 5 Sept'20
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 18, October 2020 Briseis water supply scheme 1901-1910: a premium investment By KEITH PRESTON Key words: Tin mining, Tasmania, water management, hydraulic sluicing, water rights, aqueducts. t the close of the nineteenth century, mining of deep tin leads along the Ringarooma Valley of north-eastern Tasmania by means of hydraulic sluicing A was well established. In the vicinity of Derby, water supply and tailings disposal were critical factors in achieving viable operations along the Cascade Lead.1 Mines on the south bank of the Ringarooma River competed for available water from the Cascade River, that flowed through the leases of the Briseis Tin Mining Company.2 A limited water supply was also available from Main Creek to the east, but again restricted by competition from mine leases along that watercourse. Reduced summer flows usually curtailed tin production for several months as finance for the construction of storage reservoirs was generally unavailable. Figure 1: Sketch plan of the Cascade Lead showing original lease owners with subsurface features superimposed. Source: The Argus, 29 April 1902, p. 8. 134 Keith Preston On the south bank of the Ringarooma River the privately owned Krushka Brothers mine on Lease 316 dominated tin output prior to 1900, aided by a short headrace from the Cascade River that provided an adequate water supply and a river frontage that facilitated tailings disposal at minimal cost (Fig. 1).3 The adjoining mines operated by Victorian based mining companies, the New Brothers’ Home No. 1 TM Co. [NBH1 Co. hereafter] and Briseis TM Co.
