  • Coffs Harbour Sediment Modelling and Investigation
    COFFS HARBOUR SEDIMENT MODELLING AND INVESTIGATION Luke McAvoy Undergraduate Engineer (Civil) Griffith School of Engineering, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Daniel Rodger Senior Engineer Water Technology Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Water Technology has teamed with Griffith University as a part of the Industrial Affiliates Program to complete a Sediment Modelling Investigation for Coffs Harbour. The harbour at Coffs Harbour has been infilling with sediment since breakwall construction and reclamation linked two nearshore islands with the mainland in the 1920s, interrupting the Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) pathway. The harbour has become a sand sink; sand is entering the harbour and then cannot be removed by natural processes. Following on from previous reports from Carley (2005) and Lord (1984), the investigation has used the latest numerical modelling software, volumetric analysis programs and analytical methods for LST estimation to investigate the effects of the harbour on sediment transport. The effect of the breakwall orientation on wave height and particle velocity for different incident wave directions was investigated using a MIKE 21 Flexible-Mesh Spectral Wave model. The model predicted bottom water particle velocities throughout the harbour and mapped potential accumulation hotspots and sediment pathways. Bathymetric surveys spreading 118 years were analysed with the volumetric analysis program 12D Model. The results showed sand accumulating within the harbour in the lee of the eastern breakwall after its construction, as predicted in the MIKE model. This shoal built up to a uniform level before extending across the entire width of the harbour. Each periodic bathymetric comparison showed the sediment extending further within the harbour as a „wave‟.

Target outcome: To foster employment and retention of more young people by providing careers advice on local industries with employment potential, linked with more available traineeships and apprenticeships. Key points: - Our region’s youth unemployment rate is 50% higher than the NSW state average. - There is a decline in the number of apprenticeships being offered in the region. - The current school based traineeship process is overly complicated for students, teachers and employers.

  • 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.
