Although we enjoy the pleasures of many other parks and work for many other causes, Namadgi is 'our' park, our home ground. It is hardly surprising then that much of our activity and much of our endeavour is directed towards Namadgi. In the office there is a map (produced by Reg Alder) showing all the walks NPA has done in the park in the last six years. As you might expect, we have covered it pretty well and of course many of the more popular walks are regularly repeated. (I understand one or two are likely never to be repeated.) The Namadgi Sub-committee (expanded by a number of interested volunteers) has recently held several meetings to thrash out the Association's policy on a number of thorny management issues in pre­ paration for the release of the Department of Territories' Draft Plan of Management (expected in September). The results of these deliberations will form the basis of our input to the Namadgi Consultative Committee and wiJI be discussed in future Bulletins. In addition to walks and talks the Association has carried out a certain amount of work within the park. Trees have been planted and maintained and fire trails re-vegetated. It is planned to expand this type of activity in which members contribute directly to the enhancement of the park and work in partnership with the Parks and Conservation Service to supplement that organisation's meagre resources. The Association's other role in relation to Namadgi is publicity and education. Many people in the ACT have never heard of Namadgi and few know much about it. Increasingly, part of our task will be to explain to non-members the where, what and why of Namadgi. So whether you are an owl or a fowl* you should find something to interest you in our Association's association with Namadgi. * Owls are old and wise and come out at night to hoot over policy. Fowls get up early and scratch about in the bush.

NIEWflIETTIEIQ ITPA Box 160, Canberra, R.C.T. 2601 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NBF1 1859 VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3 President's Pnttle At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area.

    VOWME 26 AUGUST 1990 NUMBER 8 AUGUST MONTHLY MEETING WHERE? Dickson Library Community Room WHEN? Wednesday 15 August 1990, 8.00pm WHO? John Feint, Manager, ACT Heritage Unit, ACT Parks & Conservation Service WHAT? John will speak on the Aboriginal cultural heritage of the ACT. This talk will be of particular interest to all those who joined Mike on his walks this year to local Aboriginal sites. Before the meeting, join Club members at 600pm for dinner (BYO) at the Vietnam Restaurant, O'Connor (the one on the corner). The items I bring before you this month have to do with what we do as a club and how we do it. The first item is - the Club now has a minimum impact bushwalking code. The code has come about through the efforts of John Thwaite and his subcommittee, the help of other Club members and a bit of plagiarism from the codes of other organizations. I see the Code as a guide for us in our activities: I do not see it as being inflexible or absolute. While I would like all of our members to be aware of the code and the philosophy behind it, I ask you to make transgressors of the code aware of their transgressions with as much thought for them as of the environment. On the weekend of 25-26 August you have a great opportunity to experience the most spectacular of scenery in beautiful Morton National Park, in an exercise which is guaranteed to make you feel morally superior to those who are not with us at the time.

  • Adequacy of Environmental Releases to the Upper Murrumbidgee River
    The adequacy of environmental releases to the upper Murrumbidgee River Snowy Scientific Committee December 2010 Canberra Prepared for the NSW Water Administration and Ministerial Corporation COVER PHOTOGRAPH The Murrumbidgee River immediately downstream of Tantangara Dam. Photograph provided by Mark Lintermans. CITATION This report should be cited as: Snowy Scientific Committee (2010). The adequacy of environmental flows to the upper Murrumbidgee River. Report SSC_4. Prepared by the Snowy Scientific Committee for the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation of New South Wales. Canberra. December 2010. SNOWY SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE The Snowy Scientific Committee is (in alphabetical order) Mike Curll Wayne Erskine Arlene Harris-Buchan Noel Kesby / Brett Miners Sam Lake Jane Roberts (Chair) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY [1] This report assesses the adequacy of environmental releases to the Murrumbidgee River downstream of Tantangara Dam. These environmental releases are part of a long-term restoration program for “montane rivers” affected by the Snowy Mountains Scheme. No new work was done for this assessment. All information and data used come from existing documents. [2] The adequacy of environmental releases, and of the management and institutional arrangements that make these effective is evaluated in three ways. Releases (environmental and riparian) are compared with recommendations of the Expert Panel made prior to the Snowy Water Inquiry. Monitoring is compared with the specifications agreed to in the Snowy Water Inquiry and Outcomes Implementation Deed (SWIOID). Institutional arrangements are considered from the perspective of how well these provide for or protect environmental releases. The term institutional arrangements refers broadly to works, agreements and policies involving both private and public sectors, under the SWIOID, the Snowy Water Licence and the NSW Water Act.
