The region offers an attractive living conditions with the wide 1 range of aquatic recreational opportunities. Rapid expansion of tourist industry has been observed alongside with the traditional activities as I dairying, beef cattle and fishing. This report attempts to evaluate water quality in the estuary section of the Manning River and is a continuation of previous studies conducted by the I Environment Protection Authority in 1986 and Council in 1988. Since these studies were done, the pattern of human generated pollution discharge to the river has changed. On the one hand two high strength industrial discharges I were removed from the river, but on the other progressing urban development has generated increased amount of stormwater runoff. 1- -.. ·For·the ~rs-~ of this report the water quality of a waterbody.is defll~d~ a-_ measure of water suitability for particular users uses of the waterbody. Existing scientifically based criteria were used to develop water quality I objectives which represent the desirable, long-term goals of a water quality. Evaluation of the water quality in the Manning River estuary is made by determining to what extend these long-term goals were being met. The water quality objectives for the Manning River estuary are adopted from Australian I or overseas standards for each parameter measured. I 2 MONITORING PROGRAM Water quality data in the tidal section of the Manning River was obtained as a I result of Greater Taree City Council "River Monitoring Program". 2.1 Stations location I Water quality information was collected at 7 sampling locations in the middle to upper estuary, between downstream Dumaresq Island and just upstream of Wingham. Site selection was based upon land use and geographical criteria I ensuring all major impacts generated by land use activities, discharge location and major tributary inflows were included. Figure 1 shows location of sample collection sites together with sewage treatment plants discharge I points. The detail description of sample site locations is given in the table below.

In addition the collection of sewage treatment plants effluent samples was undertaken at each day of the river survey. The samples were tested by the I Laboratory for the same parameters as the river samples. I 3 THE MANNING RIVER SYSTEM " •.3.1 .--'.~'--- -'-~- --=::;.:- :'." ---. ."-- -- I The Manning River has a total catchment area of approximately 8400 square kill rising in the Mount Royal range at an elevation of 1000 to 1350 metres above sea leveL The majority of the catchment is hilly to mountainous with I only 10 per cent of the catchment area could be considered reasonably flat (Laurie 1980). I The most important upper tributaries are the Barnard, Nowendoc, Gloucester and Barrington Rivers, and Dingo and Cedar Party Creek. Below Mount George the valley broadens out, finally developing into a wide flood plain below I Taree. The lower estuary system is complex as the river forms a meandering network of narrow channels. The major tributaries in the lover catchment include Browns and Cattai Creeks, and the Dawson and Lansdowne Rivers. I The river has a permanent entrance to the ocean at Harrington and an intermittent opening at Old Bar. I Geologically the Manning River estuary can be classified as MatUre Age Barrier Estuary. This type of estuary can be created by extensive river systems with I relatively high sediment loads. During periods of sea level rise along the NSW coast large quantities of marine sand were transported landward and distinctive sand barriers were I formulated. Landward of these barriers estuaries were created in form of broad tidal lakes connected to the ocean by narrow tidal inlets through the I barrier (Estuary Management Manual, 1992). The high sediment loads have in filled the initial back-barrier lake with alluvium, formulating a complex system of sinuous river channels discharging I directly into the ocean through shallow entrance. I ·3.2 Tidal Behaviour and Sediment Transport The movement of water in and out of an estuary is typically dominated by the tides, except during times of flood. Tidal characteristic depend of estuary I shape, and as such the Manning River estuary is classified as Tidal River (Estuary Management Manual, 1992). I .. Greater Taree City Council october 1994 I I WATER QUALITY IN THE MANNING RIVER I 1989 - 1994 Fage4 The tidal range is elevated in upstream reaches of the Manning River estuary as a result of resonance effects. The nature of such effects is complex and I dictated by the depth and length of the main channel in relation to the frequency of the ocean tide. After initial elevation, tidal range decrease slowly seawards and shows a significant reduction as a result of tidal energy loses at I the heavily shoaled entrance.

Hello members and friends. I am pleased and privileged to have been elected president of AGSHV Inc. for 2016. This is an exciting challenge to be chosen for this role. Hopefully I have followed on from where Brian has left off as he has left big shoes to fill. Brian and Leonie decided to relinquish their long held posts as President and Treasurer (respectively) after many years of unquestionable service to our society, which might I say, was carried out with great efficiency and grace. They have set a high standard. Thank you Brian and Leonie. We also welcomed a new Vice President, Richard Bale and new Treasurer John Hyslop. Although change has come to the executive committee the drive for excellence has not been diminished. Brian is still very involved with organising and running activities as if nothing has changed. The “What Rock Is That” teaching day Brian and Ron conducted (which ended up running over 2 days) at Brian’s home was an outstanding success. Everyone had samples of rocks, with Brian and Ron explaining the processes involved in how these rocks would have formed, and how to identify each sample, along with copious written notes and diagrams.

  • The History of the Worimi People by Mick Leon
    The History of the Worimi People By Mick Leon The Tobwabba story is really the story of the original Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal New South Wales, Australia. Before contact with settlers, their people extended from Port Stephens in the south to Forster/Tuncurry in the north and as far west as Gloucester. The Worimi is made up of several tribes; Buraigal, Gamipingal and the Garawerrigal. The people of the Wallis Lake area, called Wallamba, had one central campsite which is now known as Coomba Park. Their descendants, still living today, used this campsite 'til 1843. The Wallamba had possibly up to 500 members before white contact was made. The middens around the Wallis Lake area suggest that food from the lake and sea was abundant, as well as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, waterfowl and fruit bats. Fire was an important feature of life, both for campsites and the periodic 'burning ' of the land. The people now number less than 200 and from these families, in the main, come the Tobwabba artists. In their work, they express images of their environment, their spiritual beliefs and the life of their ancestors. The name Tobwabba means 'a place of clay' and refers to a hill on which the descendants of the Wallamba now have their homes. They make up a 'mission' called Cabarita with their own Land Council to administer their affairs. Aboriginal History of the Great Lakes District The following extract is provided courtesy of Great Lakes Council (Narelle Marr, 1997): In 1788 there were about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.

  • The Permanent Walk Booklet Update
    1 2 THE OLD AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY KARUAH TO TAHLEE WALK BOOKLET (Revised for 2015) We acknowledge and recognise the Worimi people on whose land we walk. GENERAL INTRODUCTION WHY WALK? Once every year, Karuah residents and friends walk the 5 kilometres or so from Karuah to Tahlee along the Old AACo Road. It only happens once a year because the road crosses Yalimbah Creek and the bridge that used to cross the creek has gone. In the late 1950s, the bridge which had been built under the direction of Robert Dawson in 1826 was burnt down by persons unknown. At that stage, the bridge was more than 130 years old, a remarkable age for a wooden bridge. Up to that point residents of the two villages had travelled back and forth on a daily basis. From then on, they were forced to take the current route which is 14 kilometres long. So, every year for the last five years, a local oyster farmer has offered an oyster barge to carry people over the creek and around 150 people re-enact the trip from village to village. Karuah Progress association hosts the day which includes a light lunch, guides, afternoon tea and an inspection of historic Tahlee House and a bus ride back to Karuah via the new route as well as a photocopied version of this booklet. TAHLEE AND KARUAH – IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY: In 1825 when the Australian Agricultural Company was formed, 10,000 shares were offered at one hundred pounds per share and they were snapped up by the rich and famous.
