    Botanic Endeavour 250 Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand celebrates 250 years of the discovery by western science of the flora of New Zealand and Australia’s east coast in 1769-70 and over 40,000 years of traditional knowledge 2019 - 2020 1 Botanic Endeavour 250 Our plants our future In 2019 and 2020, botanic gardens and arboreta throughout Australia and New Zealand will commemorate the anniversary ‘voyage of discovery’ by Captain James Cook in the barque ‘Endeavour’ during which Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander made a comprehensive collection of flora. Cook mapped the entire coastline of New Zealand in 1769 before traversing the east coast of Australia in 1770 from Point Hicks to Cape York. Pressings of over 520 new taxa unknown to western science were collected along the route up the east coast of Australia and these, along with thousands of botanical illustrations, somehow made it back to England in the face of shipwreck, waterlogging and the dank and humid conditions below decks. The rich abundance of diverse flora excited the botanic world and ultimately led to the settlement of the new colony. 2019 in New Zealand and 2020 in Australia marks the 250th anniversary of these flora discoveries by western science. Our Australian indigenous heritage Prior to 1770, the original custodians of Australia lived in harmony with the land for over 40, 000 years and discovered the ethnobotanic use for Australia’s native flora for food, medicine, tools, clothing, and building materials. After the recording of such unusual and previously undocumented flora along the journey, Banks became a lifelong advocate for the settlement of the ‘new continent’ at Botany Bay.

  • On Rising and Falling Sea Levels, Spit Dynamics and an 1872 Survey of Byron Bay
    ON RISING AND FALLING SEA LEVELS, SPIT DYNAMICS AND AN 1872 SURVEY OF BYRON BAY Peter Helman and Rodger Tomlinson Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Southport, Queensland Abstract The Australian continent’s two eastern most beaches, north and south of Cape Byron, are directly influenced by the Coral and Tasman Seas as well as the South Pacific and Southern Ocean. The recent discovery of an accurate 1872 survey of the track running along the two beaches can be used to definitively assess the impacts of sea level and storm patterns on the coast over the past 135 years. We need to look back over at least a century to assess the influence of rising sea levels and the coast’s vulnerability to future erosion. The 1872 survey provides the possibility of numerically testing assessment methodologies currently used for prediction of climate change impacts of sea level rise on future coastlines. On rising and falling sea levels Examination of sea level curves over different time scales, over 100, 000 years to annual or even shorter periods demonstrates that sea level is rarely at the long term trend but mostly, above or below trend. As sea level rises at variable rates, short term rise rates can be at much faster. A sea level curve for late Pleistocene and Holocene was derived for 300,000 years, a period, covering the last two Ice Age cycles, it is estimated some 27 of which occurred it the Pleistocene. Examples of trends of both rising and falling sea levels are provided by fossil shorelines and dated reefs.
