  • 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.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and is one of the city's key economic precincts, known for its concentration of high-value professional services and picturesque riverside dining. The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan (the master plan) is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014 that establishes an ambitious vision for the waterfront. Achieving the vision of the master plan will take time and will require a collaborative approach between stakeholders, including Council, the Queensland Government and landholders. Council welcomes the opportunity to work with precinct stakeholders to deliver on the master plan’s vision. Community consultation The master plan is based on extensive technical investigations and community consultation. The draft master plan was released for public consultation in late 2019 and Council received more than 400 submissions.

  • Environmental Alterations in Southeast Queensland Endanger the Australian Lungfish, Neoceratodus Forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)
    Environmental alterations in southeast Queensland endanger the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus Forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi) Author Kemp, Anne Published 2017 Journal Title Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland Version Version of Record (VoR) Copyright Statement © The Author(s) 2017.

Water impoundments across rivers in southeast Queensland have profound effects on the fish that live there, especially the lungfish that inhabit these reservoirs, most of which have no operating fish transfer devices that are suitable for lungfish, or no fishways at all, such as Enoggera Reservoir, Lakes Wivenhoe and Somerset in the Brisbane River system and Lake Samsonvale in the Pine River system. A population of the threatened Australian lungfish,Neoceratodus forsteri, lived in Enoggera Reservoir since they were first introduced there in 1896, but may now be extinct. Lungfish are endemic to the Brisbane River, and lungfish live in relatively unchanged reaches of this catchment. However, adult lungfish living in Lake Wivenhoe, and in Lake Samsonvale, have been trapped in these reservoirs since 1984 and 1976 respectively, and recruitment has ceased, perhaps because the population of fish in these reservoirs is ageing, or because the adults have poor food supplies and cannot lay viable eggs.

  • (Genus Myuchelys), with Special Reference to the Endangered M. Bellii
    Vol. 17: 63–71, 2012 ENDANGERED SPECIES RESEARCH Published online April 12 doi: 10.3354/esr00417 Endang Species Res Mitochondrial variation among Australian freshwater turtles (genus Myuchelys), with special reference to the Endangered M. bellii Darren Fielder1,*, Karl Vernes1, Erika Alacs2, Arthur Georges2 1Ecosystem Management, University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales 2351, Australia 2Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601, Australia ABSTRACT: Identifying species and the relationships among them remains important for assess- ing biodiversity trends and is a critical focus for reversing global biodiversity loss. The saw-shelled turtles of Australia, in the genus Myuchelys, show cryptic diversity and include species that range from Endangered (M. bellii), through those that are locally abundant but extremely limited in dis- tribution (M. georgesi and M. purvisi) to those that are common and widespread (M. latisternum). The Endangered M. bellii is restricted to 3 small isolated populations in the headwaters of the Murray-Darling basin, in the Border, Gwydir and Namoi tributaries. There is no evidence of strong differentiation among these 3 populations based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diver- gences; rather there is only a shallow genetic structure ranging from 0.1 to 0.3% divergence. The 3 restricted and small populations of the Endangered M. bellii face a number of threatening pro- cesses and require conservation management across state boundaries as a single biological spe- cies. The mtDNA phylogeny supports previous phylogenetic findings of a deep phylogenetic divergence between M. purvisi and M. georgesi (13.5% mtDNA) and the sister taxa relationship of M. latisternum and M.
