  • Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove)
    Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove) Approach from the SE heading NW to clear reef #1 and stay to seaward of reef #2. The depth is good off the northern cliffs. Run parallel to the cliffs with reef #2 to seaward and continue to the SW shore where a turn can be made around reef #3 to the anchor area marked in blue. Protection direction The anchorage is protected from most winds less than 20 knots, but not protected from easterlies and vulnerable to SE/E/NE swell. Depth of water Good depth all the way in with sufficient clearance to all reefs and shore lines. The average depth in the anchoring area is 3 metres. Anchoring Best position behind reef #3. If any swell comes through it’s advisable to use a stern anchor to hold the bow to the swell. Description This inlet as well as having great historical interest is in one of the world’s first national parks. It is accessible by road via the Audley weir or by sea. Approaching Wattamolla from the sea on the right day is a privilege that would not be forgotten. After a short run from Port Hacking the inlet materialises via a gap in the high sandstone cliffs. The entrance is guarded by three reefs and beyond is a beautiful white beach whose backdrop in a high waterfall cascading into the lagoon behind the beach. The holding is good into sand; however, care must be taken to choose the right weather conditions. You could imagine yourself to be at an exotic south sea paradise and only one hours sailing from Port Hacking.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

  • Estimation of the Economic Importance of Beaches in Sydney, Australia, and Implications for Management
    Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management David Anning School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the award of the degree Doctorate of Philosophy March, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Anning First name: David Other name/s: Bruce Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management Abstract This thesis sought to estimate the economic value of selected Sydney beaches, in order to provide the necessary information to allow local and State government agencies to identify the most appropriate management response to projected climate change impacts. Three case-study sites (Collaroy-Narrabeen, Manly Ocean Beach, and a combined site in the Hawkesbury River that included the Brooklyn Baths and Dangar Island) were selected via a weighted-criteria method using an expert panel. Valuation methods were selected in response to the key coastal management challenges in the region, vulnerability to inundation and shoreline recession. A truncated negative binomial travel cost model identified consumer surplus values of between AUD$2.72 and $20.63 for a beach day, depending on the site under investigation and the specification of the cost parameter. These are similar to those in the published literature. Aggregate values are derived only for comparison with costs of management options, due to concerns about the quality of visitation information.

  • State Ablaze Firefighting Effort in New South Wales History
    Dedication: This publication is dedicated to the men and women who fought the fires of December 1993 and January 1994, and to the thousands of other volunteers who stand ready to assist their communities and the people of NSW through their dedication and commitment to the NSW Rural Fire Service. Text: Copyright NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE Unit 3, 175-179 James Ruse Drive Rosehill NSW 2142 Ph: 02 9684 4411 Fax: 02 9638 7956 Illustration: Copyright NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE Printed January, 1998 ISBN 0-7311-0895-7 Foreword. This publication is designed to place in context the events of December 1993 and January 1994 and to shed some light on the interaction between communities and their environments. Many communities were faced with a fire threat the like of which had not been experienced for at least a decade, with many people having never experienced such a fire storm before. Whilst some accept that fire is a natural and beneficial aspect of our environment, many people take this force for granted and consequently do not prepare for these events. It is in the nature of "disasters" that they fade from public memory quickly. This is an attempt to return to "normality" as soon as possible, and yet, if we fail to learn from these events, we will be as unprepared as ever. Thus we are seen as victims of these occurrences. Unlike floods and cyclones, fires can be prepared for, prevented or at least their impact can be substantially reduced if we accept the need to plan for these events.
