  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works
    Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works notice Queensland Rail is preparing for tunnel floor lowering works through 1 rail tunnels on the Toowoomba Range and Little Liverpool Range. This project is being undertaken to provide clearance for international standard size containers which will support the agricultural industry by enabling the transport of agricultural freight via rail from the Darling Downs and South West regions of Queensland through to the Port of Brisbane. In addition, works will also be carried out at two sites on the Toowoomba Range to secure identified sections of slope to enable the ongoing safe operation of rail traffic in this area. What is involved? During scheduled track closures in January and February 2017, Queensland Rail will undertake site investigation works at all 11 tunnel locations and two slope stabilisation sites. These works will involve visual inspections and drilling activities and will be undertaken from 6am to 6pm each day between: • Saturday 14 to Sunday 15 January • Friday 27 to Sunday 29 January • Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 February. Vehicles will be accessing the Toowoomba Range rail corridor via a number of locations including Murphys Creek Road (adjacent to Morleys Road), McCormack Drive and Donnellys Road. Following these site investigation works and upon completion of the project design, it is anticipated that major construction works will commence in mid-2017. Construction impacts Residents in close proximity to the rail corridor may experience an increase in noise during planned works. Queensland Rail apologises in advance for any temporary inconvenience generated by these works. Queensland Rail Limited ABN 71 132 Queensland Rail Limited Works location Nine of the 11 tunnels are located on the Toowoomba Range, indicated by blue arrows in the image below.

  • Testudines: Chelidae) of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002, 134, 401–421. With 7 figures Electrophoretic delineation of species boundaries within the genus Chelodina (Testudines: Chelidae) of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia ARTHUR GEORGES1*, MARK ADAMS2 and WILLIAM McCORD3 1Applied Ecology Research Group, University of Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2Evolutionary Biology Unit, South Australian Museum, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA 5001, Australia 3East Fishkill Animal Hospital, 285 Rt 82, Hopewell Junction NY 12533, USA Received February 2001; revised and accepted for publication June 2001 A total of 281 specimens of long-necked chelid turtles (Chelodina) were obtained from drainages of Australia, Papua New Guinea and the island of Roti in Indonesia. Ten diagnosable taxa were identified using allozyme profiles at 45 presumptive loci. Chelodina expansa, C. parkeri, C. rugosa and C. burrungandjii are in a Group A clade, C. longi- collis, C. novaeguineae, C. steindachneri, C. pritchardi and C. mccordi are in a Group B clade, and C. oblonga is in a monotypic Group C clade, with each clade thought to represent a distinct subgenus. Chelodina siebenrocki is syn- onymised with C. rugosa. An eleventh taxon, C. reimanni, could not be distinguished from C. novaeguineae on the basis of allozyme profiles, but it is morphologically distinct. Its status is therefore worthy of further investigation. Three instances of natural hybridization were detected. Chelodina rugosa and C. novaeguineae hybridize in the Gulf country of Queensland, with evidence of backcrossing to C. novaeguineae. Chelodina longicollis and C. novaeguineae hybridize in central coastal Queensland, and C. rugosa and C. burrungandjii hybridize along their zone of contact in the plateau escarpment streams and pools.

Recently, the expansion of the coal seam gas industry has raised concerns about the risks to aquifers adjacent to gas-bearing aquifers because water needs to be extracted from the coal seams in order to release the sorbed gas. Consequently, there is a need to: a) understand aquifer connectivity in particular areas; and b) critique the effectiveness of different parameters that can be applied to understand interactions between coal seam gas formations and adjacent aquifers. This study provided a hydrochemical and isotopic assessment within and between a coal measure aquifer (the Walloon Coal Measures) that is being exploited for coal seam gas reserves, and a large, agriculturally- important alluvial aquifer (the Condamine River alluvium), in south east Queensland, Australia.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum – Culture 5(1): 31-52. Brisbane. ISSN 1440-4788 The decision to build the first railway in Queensland from Ipswich to the Darling Downs meant that railway workshops were required at Ipswich. The development of the Ipswich Railway Workshops site began with the original Ipwich Workshops site of 1864 which was adjacent to the Bremer River at North Ipswich. The first two major workshop buildings were iron and zinc structures imported from England in pre-fabricated form. Over the next few years, additional buildings including a brick store were constructed by local contractors.
