The Cape Wickham Lighthouse on the northernmost tip of King Island started service on 1st November 1861 – 150 years ago. King Island, located at the western entrance to Bass Strait, is an island rich in history with shipwrecks, lighthouses and jagged reefs. It is blessed with an abundance of long stretching sandy beaches and lush green pasture. From this little paradise are produced some of Australia's finest natural foods for which the Island is probably best known including grass fed beef, cheese, crayfish & abalone and yet there is more to this 64km long by 27km wide stretch of land than first meets the eye. The 48m tall Cape Wickham Lighthouse began operating 150 years ago on November 1st 1861 and has been in continuous operation since that first night providing - 150 years of saving lives. 150 years of guidance and direction for shipping 150 years of community capacity building 150 years of very unique history. Cape Wickham is at the northernmost tip of King Island and the 88km gap between Cape Otway (Victoria) and Cape Wickham was often a trap for the unwary Ship‟s Master seeking entry into Bass Strait. The Western entrance has become the graveyard to at least 18 ships nearing the end of their long voyages.

  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.

  • Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters
    4 Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters Mark Staniforth In the nineteenth century the long sea voyage across thousands of miles of open ocean to Australia was a step into the unknown. International migration at this time usually involved travel by sea, as it had in previous centuries. Ships were the primary long distance transportation method and the movement of passengers was one of their most important functions. It has been estimated that more than 1.6 million immigrants travelled to Australia by ship between 1788 and 1900, nearly half of these people were assisted immigrants of one type or another and they came primarily from Great Britain with smaller numbers from Europe (Barrie 1989:121). In the popular imagination the ocean represented hazard and uncertainty - an alien environment in which the possibility of shipwreck loomed large. Passengers felt themselves to be at the mercy of the elements and being directly exposed to the extremes of the weather in a moving structure was a new and disconcerting experience. This fear of shipwreck can be seen in a letter from P. Harnett to his brother from Cape Town in 1832 who writes that: 'you and the family must have been frequently tormented by anxious hopes and fears of my safety or probably have heard that the vessel was wrecked and as a matter of course that I was lost' (Harnett 1832). In most respects shipwrecks, like other tragedies involving transportation, are civil or 'man made' disasters yet they also exhibit some of the 45 46 Disasters: Images and Contexts characteristics of natural disasters.l These include evoking in the victims feelings of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming natural forces and a timeframe which sometimes extends over a period of hours or even days.

Rosny Collections and Research Facility, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, GPO Box 1164, Hobart Tasmania 7001 (SG*); PO Box 683, Port Arthur Tasmania 7182 (RdL). *Author for correspondence. Email: [email protected] The findings of a week-long survey of coastal marine molluscs around King Island are documented. In total, 408 species were recorded, 78 for the first time. King Island appears to be the only Tasmanian outpost for 44 species. Only two non-native species were found. A number of usually distinct species-pairs or groups appear to form intergrades around King Island. Along the island’s east coast, beached shells belonging to Quaternary-era sub-fossils were found, not all of which are represented in the contemporary local fauna. Following critical examination of published sources and museum specimens, a checklist of King Island’s coastal marine mollusc fauna is presented, comprising 619 species. It is likely that many more local species await discovery and documentation. Key Words: Mollusca, King Island, Tasmania INTRODUCTION METHODS King Island sits in western Bass Strait at around 40°S and Field surveys and follow-up identification 144°E, and is a geographical outlier relative to the rest of Tasmania: it includes the westernmost shorelines in Tasmania, Twenty-one discrete localities were surveyed during 13–19 as well as some of the northernmost.
