  • OF the TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS the Beautiful Lake Ross Stores Over 200,000 Megalitres of Water and Supplies up to 80% of Townsville’S Drinking Water
    BIRDS OF THE TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS The beautiful Lake Ross stores over 200,000 megalitres of water and supplies up to 80% of Townsville’s drinking water. The Ross River Dam wall stretches 8.3km across the Ross River floodplain, providing additional flood mitigation benefit to downstream communities. The Dam’s extensive shallow margins and fringing woodlands provide habitat for over 200 species of birds. At times, the number of Australian Pelicans, Black Swans, Eurasian Coots and Hardhead ducks can run into the thousands – a magic sight to behold. The Dam is also the breeding area for the White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Osprey. The park around the Dam and the base of the spillway are ideal habitat for bush birds. The borrow pits across the road from the dam also support a wide variety of water birds for some months after each wet season. Lake Ross and the borrow pits are located at the end of Riverway Drive, about 14km past Thuringowa Central. Birds likely to be seen include: Australasian Darter, Little Pied Cormorant, Australian Pelican, White-faced Heron, Little Egret, Eastern Great Egret, Intermediate Egret, Australian White Ibis, Royal Spoonbill, Black Kite, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Australian Bustard, Rainbow Lorikeet, Pale-headed Rosella, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Rainbow Bee-eater, Helmeted Friarbird, Yellow Honeyeater, Brown Honeyeater, Spangled Drongo, White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Pied Butcherbird, Great Bowerbird, Nutmeg Mannikin, Olive-backed Sunbird. White-faced Heron ROSS RIVER The Ross River winds its way through Townsville from Ross Dam to the mouth of the river near the Townsville Port.

  • Halifax Bay (South) QLD03.07.09
    Halifax Bay (south) QLD03.07.09 Regional Setting The dominant regional processes influencing coastal geomorphology in this region are the wet tropics to humid sub-tropical climate, south-east trade winds, mega-meso tides, strong tidal currents, low to moderate south-east seas (local wind-waves), the dominantly terrigenous sediments with interrupted northerly longshore sediment transport (low-moderate), the El Nino Southern Oscillation (driving sea-level variability, tropical cyclone frequency, beach erosion/accretion cycles); and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (driving weather patterns including monsoons and tropical cyclones). Regional hazards or processes driving large scale rapid coastal changes include: tropical cyclones, storm surges, river flooding, and variable longshore sand transport. This compartment extends from Eleanor Creek to Cape Pallarenda. Justification of Sensitivity Sensitivity rating is a 4 as the sediment supply is limited and predicted to decline: There is sediment leakage from Cleveland Bay around Cape Pallarenda, where Shelley Beach is growing to the west. Black River Delta extends offshore post-flooding and northerly drift (170,000 m3/yr) nourishes beaches to north (Dalla Pozza 2007) The Black and Bohle Rivers are located at the southern, more protected end of the sediment compartment, but beach ridges are sensitive to erosion (e.g. Bushland Beach) along with the mangrove coast at mouth of Bohle River. Localised wet season sediment supply from Cassoway, Leichhardt and Christmas Creeks has resulted in several hundred meters of beach buildling (Short 2000). Other comments Sea-level rise is likely to exacerbate existing coastal erosion The impact of cyclonic events is likely to be more severe, with longer beach recovery times.
