  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

  • B South Esk Catchment
    B SOUTH ESK CATCHMENT 1.0 Hydrology The South Esk River rises in the North Eastern highlands near Mathinna initially travelling southwards before passing through the Fingal Valley and finally turning northwards and draining into the Tamar River estuary at Launceston. Upstream of the confluences with the Macquarie and Meander rivers the major tributaries include the Break O’Day, St Pauls and Nile rivers. Many smaller streams contribute water to the South Esk mainly from the North- East highlands around Ben Lomond (eg Storeys Creek and Buffalo Brook). 1.1 Historical Background Measurement of river heights in the South Esk River has a long history. Unfortunately these measurements are not always useful indicators of flow due to changes in the channel such as growth and destruction of vegetation, aggradation and scouring of river beds, etc. Such changes provide unstable relationships between gauge height and flow. Nevertheless, many of the gauge height stations continue to be maintained and in many instances are the major tools used for flood warning. The South Esk is a relatively flat river for much of its length and there are often large areas where natural backwaters occur. There are therefore limited opportunities along the river to collect stream flow information and it was not until the 1950's that two reasonable locations were instrumented. These two sites - one at Llewellyn and the other at Perth - have collected streamflow information for around 40 years and are therefore invaluable in assessing the water yields, flood and drought behaviour of the river system. Unfortunately the early record at Llewellyn (prior to 1973) is subject to a major review by the Hydro-Electric Commission and could not be used for this study.

    June 1946 MEM. NAT. Mus. V1cT., 14, PT. 2, 1946. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1946.14.06 THE SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT By R. A. Keble, F.G.S., Palaeontologist, National Jiiiseurn of Victoria. Figs. 1-16. (Received for publication 18th l\fay, 1945) The floors of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait were formerly portions of a continuous land surface joining Victoria with Tasmania. This land surface was drained by a river system of which the Riv-er Y arra was part, and was intersected by two orogenic ridges, the Bassian and King Island ridges, near its eastern and western margins respectively. \Vith progressive subsidence and eustatic adjustment, these ridges became land bridges and the main route for the migration of the flora and fauna. At present, their former trend is indicated by the chains of islands in Bass Strait and the shallower portions of the Strait. The history of the development of the River Yarra is largely that of the former land surface and the King Island land bridge, and is the main theme for this discussion. The Yarra River was developed, for the most part, during the Pleistocene or Ice Age. In Tasmania, there is direct evidence of the Ice Age in the form of U-shaped valleys, raised beaches, strandlines, and river terraces, but in Victoria the effects of glaciation are less apparent. A correlation of the Victorian with the Tasmanian deposits and land forms, and, incidentally, with the European and American, can only be obtained by ascertaining the conditions of sedimentation and accumulation of such deposits in Victoria, as can be seen at the surface1 or as have been revealed by bores, particularly those on the N epean Peninsula; by observing the succession of river terraces along the Maribyrnong River; and by reconstructing the floor of Port Phillip Bay, King Bay, and Bass Strait, and interpreting the submerged land forms revealed by the bathymetrical contours.

The recommendations in the report are based on an assessment of natural values (geoconservation, flora and fauna) only. They do not take account of cultural values, which are the subject of a separate assessment, and other factors. Decisions concerning management of the vehicle tracks are the responsibility of the Parks and Wildlife Service. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Resource Management and Conservation Division of the Department of Primary Industries and Water prepared this report with input from Michael Comfort, Rolan Eberhard, Richard Schahinger, Chris Sharples and Shaun Thurstans. Comments were received from the following RMC staff: Michael Askey- Doran, Jason Bradbury, Sally Bryant, Stephen Harris, Ian Houshold, Michael Pemberton and Greg Pinkard. Staff from the Parks and Wildlife Service at Arthur River provided assistance in the field and generously shared their collective knowledge. Air photos used in this study were orthorectified by Matt Dell and John Corbett. The Arthur-Pieman Vehicle Tracks Assessment Project was funded by the Natural Heritage Trust through Cradle Coast NRM.
