Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast. -
Wambaliman SPRING 2017
The newsletter of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland Fraser Coast Branch SPRING 2017 Wambaliman since 1967 In the language of the Butchulla people, who are custodians of land that includes the Fraser Coast, ‘wambaliman’ means ‘to carry’, and refers to the messages that the Newsletter is communicating.

Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Region (Australia)
WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY 630: FRASER ISLAND AND THE GREAT SANDY REGION (AUSTRALIA) Summary prepared by WCMC/IUCN (March 1992) based on the original and the revised nomination submitted by the Government of Australia. This original and all documents presented in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION On the south-eastern coast of Queensland. Fraser Island and the mainland Cooloola sand mass together make up part of the Great Sandy region. 2. JURIDICAL DATA In 1860 the whole of Fraser Island was gazetted as an Aboriginal reserve. Cooloola was declared a forestry reserve in 1881. After the Aborigines were removed from Fraser Island, the remnant Aboriginal reserve was revoked in 1906. In 1908 the central part of Fraser Island was declared a forestry reserve, and by 1925 most of the island had been set aside as state forest. The land is under state, federal and private tenure. 3. IDENTIFICATION Covering approximately 239,OOOha the major geological elements of the region are the sandmasses of Fraser Island and Cooloola. Fraser Island is 122km long, 5-25km wide and reaches 235m, the depth of the sand extending 30-60m below present sea level. Dunes on Cooloola reach 260m, cover 40km of coastline and extend 1 Okm inland. Notable features are the sandmass aquifers, the dune lakes, the Noosa River system and associated plains lakes. The closed forests of Fraser Island and Cooloola, covering some 10,500ha of high dunes, largely distinguish these sandmasses. Aboriginal people are thought to have first occupied the region about 40,000 years ago. -
February 2017 ISSUE 289
A volunteer initiative of the Howard & District Progress Assn Inc. Voice of the People Since August 1990 DISTRIBUTION 1600 COPIES VOLUME 1 February 2017 ISSUE 289 President Trump’s inauguration speech resonated around the world. He declared he would “… give power back to the forgotten people” For many of us that is just how we feel – forgotten by politicians, misled by media and forgotten by the public officials we pay to serve our needs. In 2014, then Treasurer Joe Hockey declared that the age of entitlement was dead. In that case he was referring to welfare recipients. Unfortunately, his colleagues on both sides of the house failed to understand that if it was over for the rest of us, it was also over for politicians and public officials. Political movements in Britain and the United States indicate OFF that the forgotten people are demanding to be heard. They are also demanding that politicians and public officials stop taking advantage of their position and start WITH providing the service that we ratepayers and taxpayers are funding. THEIR Are we in the Burrum District forgotten? Recent events at Fraser Coast Council who funded a HEADS $1/2 million boardwalk and multi-million dollar sports complex at Hervey Bay while we languish without sewerage and adequate drainage seems to suggest we are indeed forgotten. Our divisional councillor and local member are fighting hard for us but it seems that self-interest by councillors and public officials is too strong an influence. No, I’m not advocating that we rise up in revolt and shout “Off with her head”. -
