  • COAG National Bushfire Inquiry
    Appendix D Fire history in Australia This appendix summarises the available information on major bushfire events in each state and territory as far back as records allow. There are many inconsistencies and gaps in the available information because there are no nationally agreed criteria for defining a ‘significant fire year’ or a ‘major fire event’. The available information shows the following: • Major fire events are a periodic feature in all states and territories. • The areas of land that are affected by fire continue to be significant. • There have been 59 recorded bushfire events where there has been loss of life, with a positive trend being the significant decline in the loss of life from bushfires in the last 20 years. • There have been 24 fire events resulting in major stock losses (defined as more than 1000 head). • There have been 21 fire events resulting in large-scale loss of houses (defined as more than 50 houses).

  • Tiree in 100 Objects – 63 – Chest
    THE HISTORY OF TIREE IN 100 OBJECTS - no. 63 THE SEA CHEST OF DÙGHALL AN ÒIR This wooden sea chest, covered with crocodile skin, was brought back from Australia by Dugald MacKinnon. He was known on Tiree as Dùghall an Òir 'Dugald of the gold', having emigrated to Australia and come back a wealthy man. Dùghall 'ic Nèill 'ic Iain 'Dugald the son of Neil the son of Iain', was born in Taigh an t- Sìthein 'the house of the fairy knoll' in Scarinish in 1840, the son of a boatman. He worked as a contractor and married Mary MacLean, also from Scarinish, when he was thirty-nine. The couple had a daughter, Donaldina, in 1881 and emigrated to Australia three years later. Despite his nickname implying he had made his fortune in the gold rushes, he appears to have worked on a number of stations in the outback of Queensland as the country was opened up to sheep: Adavale, Langlo Downs, Cairns and Toompine. Latterly the family lived in Charleville, 450 miles inland from Brisbane. Tragically, within two years of their arrival Donaldina was dead, and in 1907 Dugald's wife also died. Within months of this loss, he returned to Tiree. He appears to have been well liked, as several letters from old friends in the Queensland bush have survived: "I got your letter alright last week and was very glad to learn that you had reached Tiree in good fettle. I can quite believe that you find many things changed since you were home last … I expect that a good many of you old acquaintances are gone and that you are a greater stranger in Tiree than you are in Charleville.

Senator Fisher 10.46am - Please expand on your comment that local governments operators need extra time to conduct trials and cost benefit analyses of digital conversion options in relation to self help broadcasting sites and that this will not delay the digital switchover? RAPAD councils and all self-help licensees in remote areas of Queensland could be given the time to proof of concept digital self-help terrestrial transmission facilities; carry out subsequent cost benefit analysis; consult further with ratepayers; and decide to go ahead with establishing such a facility or not without affecting any of the indicated analogue switch-off dates for any region. All that would be required is for the remote areas of Queensland to either not be included in the regional Qld SSS contract and deadlines (just as remote SA was separated from regional SA for SSS implementation purposes see below table) or DBCDE could stick to its original closing date for remote Queensland SSS of March 2012 and delay its opening from 20 April to say August 2011 (see table below).
