  • Visual Pilot Guide 2010
    SYDNEY BASIN VISUAL PILOT GUIDE 2010 VISUAL PILOT GUIDE 2010 SYDNEY VPG 2010.indd 1 12/14/10 9:22 AM CASA’S VISUAL PILOT GUIDES – the pilot’s must have As a visual pilot, you are encouraged to use this visual pilot guide (VPG) for planning flights in the class D and non-towered environment. In doing this, you will join thousands of pilots who have benefited from the information these guides provide. Since the VPGs were introduced in 1998, they have become an integral part of the visual pilot’s flight bag. Originally developed in response to the rising number of violations of controlled airspace in the Brisbane area, their popularity grew to the point that CASA decided to produce them for all the former GAAP aerodromes. They undergo a process of continual improvement made possible only through feedback from industry, and the dedication of a number of industry participants. The VPGs are a must-have item for any pilot wishing to fly into or out of the featured aerodromes. NOTE: The information contained in this guide was correct at the time of publishing, and is subject to change without notice. CASA makes no representation as to its accuracy. It has been prepared by CASA Safety Promotion for information purposes only. Plan your route thoroughly, and carry current charts and documents. Always check ERSA, NOTAMs, and the weather, BEFORE you fly. The VPGs do not replace current operational maps and charts. © 2010 Civil Aviation Safety Authority Australia The Visual Pilot Guide (VPG) is an aid for pilots to use when flying into, out of and around Sydney aerodromes.

The aim of this AUSIMM 2004 Conference and Workshop is to bring together expert speakers who will seek to highlight and share some of their experiences of issues and aspects which impact on coal mine planning and development – both now and into the future. In any business project or venture, and coal mining is no different, it is important to clearly understand all issues that will impact on a project and its viability and have in place appropriate strategies to manage and ensure the successful outcome of all goals that are set.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

  • Early Roads on Bulli Mountain
    78 NOV /DEC 2005 Illawarra Historical Society Inc. The following article was written by Mr W A Bayley for the Bulletin in 1960. Early Roads on Bulli Mountain During the years in which the coal trade grew saw also the growth of the district, both commercially and socially, as one by one the various villages appeared with the opening of the mines, and the roads developed to link the district overland with Sydney, with which it had also been linked for over half a century by the seaway. Bulli was brought into prominence in the ' forties' (1840s) with the opening of the mountain passes for traffic. Surveyor Burnett in 1841 found tracks from Appin to the coast being used regularly. In 1844 Captain Westmacott, who had secured land from O'Brien at Bulli, where he resided, found another route up Bulli Mountain. It began just west of his own house and followed westwards up the ridge still used for Bulli Pass, but instead of turning south and proceeding to the Elbow as the Pass does today, it turned slightly north-west and made almost straight up the mountainside, as is shown on the Wonona Parish Map to this day. The cost of clearing the road was paid for with money collected from settlers, and soon became the most favoured track used by horsemen from Wollongong to Sydney, although the "Illawarra Hill" as the Pass was called, was considered difficult. That bridle track was the forerunner of the famous Bulli Pass, the lower half of it remaining on much the same route after one hundred years.
