Thu 27 May IT CLOSING DATE (Contributions to the Editor) Wed 2 Jun BUSH SONGS at John Ashman's house, 119 Namatjira Drive, Fisher (Tel: 88 6595) Tue 8 Jun IT COLLATION at Marg Roseby's house, 17 Hobbs Street, O'Connor FIRES Russ Bauer's article in the Last IT has raised an issue that bushwalkers should consider more carefully. Our fires do place a demand on the environment. Dead wood is the home for many insects and other animals. (Ever notice their protests when you break up wood.) These are a source of food for larger animals such as lyrebirds and echidnas. The fire burns out a patch of vegetation and leaves ash which affects the soil. Bushfires do of course cause more extensive damage but often they do not burn the larger branches we use as fueL. Our approach to fireplaces should depend on the circumstances at the campsite. In reguLarly used campsites we should use existing fireplaces so as to locaLise damage. This fireplace shouLd remain conspicuous so that subsequent parties will also use it. Excess fireplaces should be destroyed. In less frequently used sites we should try to hide the remains of the fire. Keep the fire small, let it burn out as much as possible before leaving and scatter or bury the ash and charcoal. - Bill Brown IT MAY 1982 Page 2 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir, Russ Bauer's "Fire Places" (IT April 1982) raises a number of interesting points on conserving the integrity of the bush environment or 'wilderness'. Already we have others who are removing evidence of old campsites and spreading the remains thereof (see FBW newsletter March 1982). Just as 'burn, bash and bury' was the criteria for many yearst until it was replaced by 'burn, bash and carry', so too should we rethink our ideas on fires and fireplaces. I don't necessarily accept the idea that the number of fires shouLd be reduced - tires tend to be a focal point or social behaviour that brings people together. One point Russ did not raise was the proliferation of fireplaces at popular camping sites. Here I feel it s essential that existing fireplaces should be used to avoid any further destruction of the environment. Alternatively fuel stoves should be carried into these camps or where marginal vegetation exists or survives (e.g. at higher altitudes). This brings up the idea that bushwalkers should be more socially/environmentally inclined. Perhaps we ought to spend more time caring about the bush by organising working bees. One example of this proposal would be to go into Monolith Valley, cLean up all the rubbish and perhaps plan some sort of layout for fire places. Cooperation with the Park Service in a clean—up campaign would go far in fostering better relations with the authorities. (Despite a moratorium, people will still camp in Monolith Valley). The Shoalhaven River is another area due for a clean- up. Incidentally this type of activity can be rewarding, besides improving the countryside, collecting rubbish can be quire profitable when discarded or lost gear is found. One word of warning, however, the idea that 'all fires should be lit in the bed of the river' can have worse consequences. There is a danger of being burnt by exp.oding river stones or in dodging these missiles. Irrespective of the area visited, the evidence of fire (and indeed alt human traces) should be minimal. Nothing probably destroys a 'wilderness' experience more than to come across the remains of an old fire. Perhaps bushwalkers should adopt the policy of carrying a small spade or trenching tool. Prior to a fire being lit, a hole is dug after carefully setting aside the surface material or turf. The fire is lit in the hole, and after being extinguished the soil and especially the top stratum are replaced to give an unaltered appearance. Burnt foil has become a severe problem since it was first introduced to Australian bushwaLking in 1959. Aluminium cans and disposable gas cylinders have added to the problem. It behoves ALL bushwalkers to carry a plastic bag in their pack and to fill it on each walk they go on. If each person brought out a small bundle of rubbish (not his/her own), then we could be proud about doing something positive for the environment. - Warwick Blayden THE BOOK At the February meeting a committee was formed to report on the aims, contents, costs and timetable for the production of a new CBC book. The group has met twice and it isproposed that there will be a brief discussion of their report at the next meeting. To expedite the discussion members are invited to contact Ian Carruthers (TeL: 58 3250 (H)) to indicate in advance points they wish to see canvassed. He hopes to assemble these views to present to the meeting. The report of the group follows. IT MAY 1982 Page 3 REPORT OF THE UMPTEENTH GROUP TO LOOK INTO PUBLISHING A GUIDE BOOK Aim To provide ideas and information for "Bushwalking from Canberra" for people who want to go into the bush. The book would cater for a wide range of tastes in bushwalking, from easy day trips to hard extended trips. A secondary aim of the book is to increase public support and concern for the bush and its general conservation. By compiling bushwalking information, the Club would be encouraging bushwalking. This, through the use of the bush, would increase the love and appreciation that users have of the bush. Thus the book would fulfil several of the objectives of the Club. Format similar in size to the current book (AS, 144, maybe 160, pages) At the beginning of the book, there would be about 20 pages of articles concerning bushwalking in general. The rest of the book would be divided into chapters, each describing an area defined by some logical features e.g. a set of roads or a watershed. These chapters would comprise: Introduction access to area, available maps, physical description, weather conditions, special considerations. some form of map 1:400 000 simply to illustrate the text 1:100 000 with route marked would be given only for "day" walks near Canberra. Notes For the areas nearer Canberra, the walks would be described in reasonable detail, and usually as a complete walk. For other areas, the notes would be written in "sections" that can be combined by the reader as desired to make up walks. The amount of detail would depend on the area and its usage. For the wilder areas, the notes would briefly say what is feasible without giving much detail about how to do it. Ideas for walks giving significant points on the route, e.g. Suggan Buggan - Ingeegoodbee River / Tin Mine Hut / The Pilot - Quambatt Flat / The Cobberas - Berrima River / Mt Menaak - Suggan Buggan (5 days, medium) (e) Further reading. !T !_128 _Pth_ (e) Further reading. 3.

The list will certainly change, partly because of space limitations and partly because of what notes are collected. Cost The following is an estimate of the cost of the book. Printing: 3000 copies 144 pages 6450 plus 2.5% sales tax 161 less 25% book bounty 1611 subtotal 5000 add 16 months inflation 800 total cost of printing 1:1,Ii] Miscellaneous: photos ,maps , postage , paper 1000 Total cost: Changing the number of copies printed will alter the cost by $900 per 1000 copies while increasing the size by 16 pages would cost an extra $500. In April 1982, the publication fund stood at $5200. We could expect about $600 interest to be added by August 1983.

  • Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna
    Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii) The Superb Parrot is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act and the TSC Act. The Superb Parrot occurs mostly in riparian forest or woodland and surrounding plains of the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers. It feeds mainly on the ground in Box-Gum Woodlands and wooded farmland within 10 km of the river, taking grass seeds and herbaceous plants, as well as fruit, insects, grain, flowers, nectar, berries and buds (DEC 2005q; Higgins 1999). It nests in hollows, usually in dead branches, but sometimes in holes in the trunk of a tall tree (Higgins 1999). The species is monogamous and is thought to maintain bonds year round (Higgins 1999). How is the proposal likely to affect the lifecycle of a threatened species and/or population? Some trees with hollows would be removed along Googong Dam Road and Old Cooma Road as a result of the proposal. The Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the study area, or within 10 km of the study area. This species is a rare breeding summer migrant to the ACT and is generally restricted to the northern parts near Hall, Gungahlin and Belconnen (Taylor, 1992) Competition for hollows in paddock areas is high, particularly from the Common Starling, which is abundant in the study area and has been observed nesting in tree hollows there. Given that the Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the area and wooded areas nearby contain better foraging and nesting habitat for this species than the study area, the removal of existing vegetation in the study area is not likely to affect the life cycle of the Superb Parrot.

Far from being the disaster you though~ 1 that 1939 conflagr~tion actually r~generated vast areas of sub-alpine forest. These and many other facts which had strong impact on our pre­ conceived ideas were presented to us in a slide-illustrated talk given by Tom Morrison of the Recreation Division of the Forestry Commission of Victoria at the clubrooms on 11th August. Mr. Morrison took !JS from the vary top to the very bottom of Victoria's forests: the fi~st slide was of the alpine snows above the tree line1 and by the last wa had been···to the bottom of a mallee fowl nest out near Mildura. · We ·had a-lso been taken thJ;"ough the entire 1ife cycle of the state's tallest tree, which is quite literally a matter of ashes to ashes.

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • 2020 July Water Allocation Statement NSW Groundwater Sources
    Water Allocation Statement NSW Groundwater Sources 1 July 2020 Opening water allocations 2020-21 Groundwater users The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment today announced opening groundwater allocations for the 2020-21 water year. The 2019-20 water year delivered generally low rainfall and high temperatures. Groundwater sources across NSW were heavily relied upon due to severe water shortages for most of the year. Available Water Determinations (AWDs) are the first action implemented under water sharing plan rules to return groundwater extraction to within sustainable limits. Where the extraction limit for a groundwater source is exceeded, the response is to reduce the amount of water allocated. Three groundwater sources, listed below, have triggered this action for 2020-21. While the plan rules are designed to “return average annual extractions in the relevant groundwater source to the long term average annual extraction limit”, this can be done over a period of time, allowing water users to adjust their extraction, rather than immediately applying a zero or near zero allocation. However, it should be noted that although extraction may be within long-term sustainable extraction limits for a groundwater source, there may be localised significant drawdown causing impacts that must be managed. In this case, temporary water restrictions are applied to limit the access to water in accounts for a period while water levels recover. Upper Lachlan Zone 1 Management Zone is one such groundwater source. The allocations to licence categories in all water sources are tabulated below. In summary, all licence categories will receive a full allocation for the 2020-21 water year, apart those aquifer access licences in the three water sources listed immediately below where their extraction limits have been exceeded, those linked to reduced surface water allocations, and those in the Upper Namoi Zone 1 groundwater source that will receive an available water determination of 2.3 ML per share in accordance with the water sharing plan rules.
