Binna Burra Road Reopening Marks Key Recovery Milestone
1 Binna Burra Road reopening marks key recovery milestone Address by Steve Noakes, Chair, Binna Burra Lodge, on the occasion of the official reopening of the road into Binna Burra by the Governments of Australia and Queensland on 31 August 2020. In keeping with the spirit of the Reconciliation Action Plan that Binna Burra Lodge is now engaged in, I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and offer our respects to the Elders both past, present and emerging. On behalf of all those associated with or have an affection for Binna Burra, I’d like to thank the Australian and Queensland Governments for their collaborative support to ensure Binna Burra Road was rebuilt following the bushfires we experienced around this time last year. This reopening of Binna Burra Road marks a ‘soft-opening’ period for the second opening of Binna Burra Lodge since our first opening back in 1933. We plan to do an ‘official second opening’ of Binna Burra Lodge in November this year at the time of our Annual General Meeting. That gives us a few months to bed-down all our remaining assets and a new era of operational activities. In early August last year, we had our first taste of what was to become an unprecedented six month Australian bushfire season. At that time, a hazard reduction burn in the national park along the eastern side of Binna Burra Road opposite a number of local homes – including my own house – went a little further than originally anticipated. In advance of what was to come in the following month it became a practice run for our local Beechmont Rural Fire volunteers and QPWS Rangers.

A. EWART, N.C. STEVENS and J.A. ROSS P. 1 - 82 1 THE TWEED AND FOCAL PEAK SHIELD VOLCANOES, SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND AND NORTHEAST NEW SOUTH WALES by A. Ewart, N.C. Stevens and J.A, Ross ABSTRACT •Two overlapping shield volcanoes of Late Oligocène — Early Miocene age form mountainous country in southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales. The basaltic-rhyolitic volcanic formations and the putonic rocks (gabbros, syenites, monzonites) of the central complexes are described with regard to field relations, mineralogy, geochem istry and petrogenesis. The Tweed Shield Volcano, centred on the plutonic complex of Mount Warning, comprises the Beechmont and Hobwee Basalts, their equivalents on the southern side (the Lismore and Blue Knob Basalts), and more localized rhyolite formations, the Binna Burra and Nimbin Rhyolites. The earlier Focal Peak Shield Volcano is preserved mainly on its eastern flanks, where the Albert Basalt and Mount Gillies Volcanics underlie the Beechmont Basalt. A widespread conglomerate formation separates formations of the two shield volcanoes. Mount Warning plutonic complex comprises various gabbros, syenite and monzonite with a syenite-trachyte-basalt ring-dyke, intrusive trachyandesite and comen dite dykes. The fine-grained granite of Mount Nullum and the basaltic sills of Mount Terragon are included with the complex. Each phase was fed by magma pulses from deeper chambers. Some degree of in situ crystal fractionation is shown by the gabbros, but the syenitic phase was already fractionated prior to emplacement.

A Comparison of Climate Change Impacts on Park Values on Four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia
A comparison of climate change impacts on park values on four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia Sherri L Tanner-McAllister, Jonathan Rhodes, Marc Hockings Abstract Protected areas will vary in how they respond to climate related threats and impacts. An important step in adapting protected area management to respond to climate change is identifying how protected areas and their values may be impacted. This requires an understanding of the ecological and social system impacting on the particular values so that consideration of management options and issues can be informed by this understanding. A set of Bayesian belief networks were developed to assess impacts and management issues for three key values (stream-dwelling frogs, cool temperate forest and recreational walking access) across four National Parks (Springbrook, Lamington, Mount Barney and Main Range) in Queensland, Australia. The aim was to assess how those values may be impacted by climate change, how the parks differ in relation to likely impact and options for management adaptation. We observed, depending on a protected area’s physical and socio-ecological characteristics, that the values were likely to be differently affected across the parks and management responses will need to take account of these differences. Introduction Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing our natural environment (Sommer et al. 2010). Globally, there has been detectable increases in land and ocean surface temperatures, sea temperatures, ocean salinity and sea levels over the last three decades (IPCC 2013; Savage & Vellend 2015). Climate change projections of an increase in average temperatures are likely to exceed 1.5 - 2oC (relative to 1850 to 1900) by the end of this century (IPCC 2013).
