  • Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus Ornatus, Project
    Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus ornatus, project. (Save the Sunfish, Grant ID: 19393) by Simon Baltais Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD Bayside Branch (QLD) inc. (Version: Saturday, 25 June 2011) 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (Ornate Sunfish, soft spined sunfish, or Ornate Rainbowfish) is a freshwater rainbowfish from the Family Melanotaeniidae. This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics

Dawson (Builder) Criterion for listing (A) Historical; (E) Aesthetic A timber bridge was built across Ithaca Creek circa 1876. Consideration was given to raising the bridge in the late 1880s. With the assistance of local MLA Mr Drake, the Shire of Ithaca was able to borrow in the 1898-99 financial year the some of £3000 for works that included bridging Ithaca Creek. Tenders were called initially in February 1899 however the shire Council reconsidered the design after a number of complaints of its inadequacy. It was not until June 1899 that tenders were finally called to build the bridge. The contract appears to have been awarded to J. Dawson, and the bridge was in operation by February 1900. History The thoroughfare now known as Waterworks Road was established as a track to Enoggera Reservoir, the first dam erected in Queensland and only the second in Australia. The track also serviced the scattered Enoggera diggings in the hills behind the Reservoir. The dam was completed in 1866. A cast iron pipeline was laid from the Reservoir to the service reservoirs on Wickham Terrace.
