National Park. This medium walk, which will start very early on Saturday, will be a circular route starting from near Gudgenby, with Mt. Kelly being climbed the first day. It is hoped to camp on a pleasant creek near the foot of the mountain and return to the ears via a lower route. Sun. 18th October: Cynthia Breheny is leading this day walk to London Bridge, an interesting natural arch about 2-5 miles auth of Queanbeyan. Sat./Sun. 24/25th October: At the time of going to press, leader Aln Moy was keeping his options open regarding the route he intends to take for this Budawangs trip to Crooked Falls (formerly Angel Falls). Anyway, he assures us that it will be of medium grade and of course the scenery will be the usual spectacular stuff that bushwelkers exDect to see in this magnificent wilderness area. Sun. 25th October: Mt. Tennant, near Tharwa, is the goal of this day walk to be led by arehaelogist Jo. Flood. Mt. Tennant takes the name of the famous bushranger and somewhere on the east face is a cave which Tennrnt used as a hideaway. J0 is hoping to locate this cave and also plans to do a small "dig" in search of Aboriginal bones in other caves. So if you would like to delve into history and pre-history, this easy walk is for you. Sat./Sun. 31st Oct/ist Nov.: Snow Gum Planting. postponed from 10/11 October A further 1700 seedlinrs are to be planted, near Dainer's Gap in the Kosciusko Nationel Park - C.B.C. will be helped this time by the Monaro Conservation Society so that all planting should be completed on Saturday. Come along and help C.S.I.R.O. find out what is the optimum spacing of trees to hold the snow and help restore the Park to its pre-grazing beauty. Saturday night camp (some HalloweOn fun and games are in the offing) will be at Sawpit Creek and an easy walk somewhere in the Park is planned for Sunday. Sun. 1st Nov.: Here is another day walk with some pre-history thrown in for good measure. If Cynthia c'n find it, and she's pretty sure she can, she will take you to a fascinating cave in Rendezvous Creek (Gudgenby area) and show you some fine kbo±'iginal paintings. Sat/Sun. 7/8th Nov: Leader Richard Kemmis this week-end takes a circular walk (approx. 10 miles) to a rarely-visited area. It includes traversing Long Plain, the ascent of McLeod's Spur Trail to the summit of Coolrmrn Mt. and the descent to the Goodradigbee River for Sat, night's camp. You could try your hnd at trout fishing in the river and 'even have a swim if you're brave enough. Although f'irly short in mileage, the climb of Coolamon Mt. brings this trip up to medium grade. Sun. 8th Nov. Mt. Coree is the big rounded hump in the Brindabellas, directly to the west of Canberr-. Your Walks Secretary has heard various tales about the climbing of this mountain from the eastern, or Canberra, side, So if you wrnt the whole truth, better come along end find out for yourself - better still, you could volunteer to lead the wlk. The clmb from Blundefl's Flat is said to be of medium grade and the 360 views fromthe iummit superb. Friday, 13th Nov: Please note this is a Friday night walks and with a bit of luck the full moon will ight the wry. Starting about 6 p.m. from Cnberr, Karl Sienkowski will lend this unusual trip to the plearnt country of Murry's Corner where a barbecue will be held. Don't forget your torches. -4--. IT OCTOBER, 1970 Sat./Sun, 14/15th Nov: Here is another archaelogical type trip with exploration and excavations und€r the guidance of Jo. Flood. .Thevalk is easy and covers the Smokers Gap - Kangaroo Flats - Billy Billy Rocks area of the Bintheri Range. The aim is to explore the Bogong Moth Caves used by the Aborigines and do a "dig" for Aboriginal artifacts and remains. ............... YOUR •JALKS PROGRAMYIE • DEC/JAN4EB. Now is the time for all members to start thinking about the trips they would like to lead during these three summer months. In the latter part of the year, walks along rivers and creeks, to the coast or to the Snowy Mountains are especially popular, but you are by no means confined to such places. We are literally surrounded by some of the best bushwalking country in Australia sothere's plenty of scope for action. Also, don't forget the special opportunities todo something different or go further afield during the long week-ends at Christmas, New Year and Australia Day. In order to tap leaders from a wider cross-section of the membership, we intend to try something new. Blank charts for the forthcoming walks period, divided up into week-ends, will be in the Clubroom at each General Meeting. The idea is that you insert the details of the trip you want to lead into the Chart when you come along to the Meeting. This arrangement should also make it more convenient for those potential leaders who can't manage to make the special Walks Planning evenings. If you can't come up with an idea for a walk, then how about asking other members for their advice - you might be surprised at how obliging they can be. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU AS A LEADER. ................. OPEN INVITATION TO ALL M4BERS If you think it's too long between General Meetings, then come along to Frank and Joan Rigby's house at 52 Glossop Crescent, Campbell, on Wednesday, 4th November, to do some socialising and general fraternising with other Club members. If you can make it along about 7 p.m., then don't eat beforehand - you will be fed some sort of spaghetti dish and plonk will be on hand to wash it down with.

  • Nadgee Nature Reserve Plan of Management
    NADGEE NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service June 2003 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 16 June 2003. Acknowledgments This plan of management was prepared by Lyn Evans of the Far South Coast Region of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, with assistance from specialists in Southern Directorate and Head Office. The plan was developed in consultation with members of the local community and other interested individuals and organisations. The Service gratefully acknowledges the information and ideas contributed by these people. In particular, useful comment was provided by members of the former Eden District Advisory Committee and the Far South Coast Regional Advisory Committee. Photograph of by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Crown Copyright 2003: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. ISBN 0 7313 6358 2 FOREWORD Nadgee Nature Reserve is located on the far south coast of NSW between Wonboyn Lake and the Victorian border and has an area of 20,671 hectares. It comprises coastal range, coastal plain, estuaries, beaches, cliffs, dunes and other coastal landforms. The reserve contains a complex variety of plant communities, including four types of rainforest and one of the four large areas of heathland on the NSW south coast. It protects a concentration of threatened and biogeographically significant native plant and animal species. There are six rare plant species, a large number of restricted species and 24 plant species that reach their southern limit of distribution in the reserve. Thirty-seven species of threatened native animals have been recorded. The reserve is an outstanding area for scientific research.

The patch was about 1–2 metres long, much less than 1 metre wide, and located on a ledge at about the halfway point on a sheer cliff. The astonishment stemmed from the understanding that humans have affected and modified every part of Britain’s terrestrial surface. If we think on a world scale, Nadgee Nature Reserve, in the Eden region on the far south coast of New South Wales (NSW), is a rare gem because by European standards this large (20,671 ha) tract of forest is hardly disturbed by European occupation.

  • Southern Rivers Region
    State of the catchments 2010 Estuaries and coastal lakes Southern Rivers region State Plan target By 2015 there is an improvement in the condition of estuaries and coastal lake ecosystems. Background An estuary is any semi-enclosed body of water having a permanently or intermittently open connection with the ocean. Water levels inside the estuary vary in a periodic way in response to the ocean tide at the entrance. The upstream boundary is defined as the limit of tidal influence and will typically be found in the lower reaches of the creeks and rivers draining to the estuary. A detailed technical report describes the methods used to derive the information contained in this report. At the time of publication of the State of the catchments (SOC) 2010 reports, the technical reports were being prepared for public release. When complete, they will be available on the DECCW website: www.environment.nsw.gov.au/publications/reporting.htm. Note: All data on natural resource condition, pressures and management activity included in this SOC report, as well as the technical report, was collected up to January 2009. State of the catchments 2010 Estuaries in New South Wales can be classified into five main types with decreasing oceanic influence: • semi-enclosed embayments (six in NSW) are characterised by marine waters with little freshwater inflow • drowned river valleys (13) have large, wide entrances and tidal ranges similar to oceans • barrier estuaries (51) are rivers and lakes that are generally open to the ocean but are constricted at their entrances by sand from adjacent beaches. They are often associated with larger catchments, the flow from which assists in keeping the entrances open • intermittent estuaries (110) are creeks and lagoons that become closed to the ocean for extended periods of time.

Dannevig (1906): “Correlation between our Home Fisheries and the Salt Water Lakes on the South Coast” “When visiting the Lakes district on the South Coast some little time ago, in company with the Hon. J.H. Want, a member of the Board, I had an opportunity of inspecting the principal nurseries from which our fish mainly migrate, and we also got a fair insight into the manner in which these waters are being worked. There are over forty salt-water lakes from St. Georges Basin to the border, with an area each of 30 acres or more, the total expanse being about 32,000 acres. Some of these waters are constantly open to the sea, others occasionally closed, while a few are only connected to the sea for a few weeks at a time, and then only at long intervals. It follows that the first-mentioned only are available to their full extent as natural nurseries, and the others with a closing entrance are more or less handicapped." Shallow water fishing method.
