C. l2953. ~----~-- ArchivesACT Research Guide Melbourne, 22nd August, 1910. Sm, I have the honour to submit the following paper by Mr. Taylor on the physiography of the proposed Federal Territory at Canberra for approval for publication. Mr. Taylor has treated the subject of his work in an exhaustive manner. He has correlated the topography, the vegetation, the soil, meteorology, and seismology of the districts, and has summarized and discnssed its economic aspects under the headings of- (a) Communication; (b) Vegetation; (c) Mining ; · (d) Crops; (e) Rainfall. The stereogram or relief map of the area will be invaluable in projected operations of the variour; departments in establishing the capital and its surroundings, and to the Meteorological Department, particularly so as it will enable a better appreciation of the climatic peculiarities of the areas, both as to incidence and general conditions of weather. As this Department is hampered in its functions by the lack of physiographical knowledge, it is hoped that this valuable and unique work (so far as Australia is concerned) may be the initiation of a scheme to include in detail a physiographical survey of the whole of the continent, more especially of the Eastern States and the south-western portion of Western Australia. Mr. Taylor has made some interesting notes on the Cotter River and its watershed, and, from what he has said with regard to Mounts Bimberi and Tidbinbilla, it may be concluded that, in addition to an unfailing supply of water from that river (which local experience has already established), it is not likely, from the inaccessibility of its source, to be readily polluted, and, from the elevation of that source, is probably subject to an annual average minfall equal to that of Kiandra, viz., 64 inches, or even more. as it is over 1,000 fee t higher, and is exposed to the same rain-bearing winds. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. A. HUNT, Commonwealth Meteorologist. 'l'h A Secretarv, Home- Affairs Department. ............ " ArchivesACT Research Guide CONTENTS.

  • Uriarra Loop Walk, Part of the Murrumbidgee River Corridor
    The Explore Program is growing with the addition of a Feature Walk. Each Feature walk will profile one of our great self-guided walks, which allow you to explore different parts of Canberra’s parks and natural heritage at your leisure. Uriarra Loop Walk, part of the Murrumbidgee River Corridor From the northern end of the Uriarra East Picnic area, follow the marker posts downstream and adjacent to the Murrumbidgee River. In some places, the track is very close to the river and other times it passes small rocky cliff lines. Near where the Molonglo River flows into the Murrumbidgee, there is a forest of large River Oaks. The track climbs out of the forest into grazing country, with great views of the Molonglo River. Look out for ducks and White- faced Herons here. Cross the Uriarra Road and follow the road back to the picnic area. Length: 3.5 km Approximate Time: Allow 2 - 2.5 hours for the walk and to enjoy the sandy river banks and views. Grade: Mostly flat and easy. There is a steep rocky section along the Molonglo River before the track leaves the river. Facilities and Services: There are toilets, picnic tables and wood-fired BBQs at the Uriarra East and West Picnic areas. The walking trail is marked by a series of totems though some may be obscured by grass. Interpretive signage is being upgraded to provide more information to walkers. You can download a brochure on the Murrumbidgee River Corridor from the TAMS website. What will I discover? You may find some Prickly Grevillea flowering.

The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s 10 of the Heritage Act 2004. HISTORY The Ngunnawal people are traditionally affiliated with the lands within the Canberra region. In this citation, ‘Aboriginal community’ refers to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal groups within the ACT who draw significance from the place. Whilst the term ‘Aboriginal community’ acknowledges these groups in the ACT, it is recognised that their traditional territories extend outside contemporary borders. These places attest to a rich history of Aboriginal connection to the area. Traditional Aboriginal society in Canberra during the nineteenth century suffered from dramatic depopulation and alienation from traditional land based resources, although some important social institutions like intertribal gatherings and corroborees were retained to a degree at least until the 1860s.
