    VISITOR LEARNING GUIDE 1 Produced by The Wilderness Society The Styx Valley of the Giants oers the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most iconic and spectacular forest areas. For decades the Wilderness Society has worked with the broader community to achieve protection for the Styx and we want to share it, and some of its stories, with you. This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the Styx, Tasmania’s forests or World Heritage. Rather, it is designed to share a cross-section of knowledge through simple stories that follow a common theme on each of the identified walks. With its help, we hope you will learn from this spectacular place, and leave knowing more about our forests, their natural and cultural legacy and some other interesting titbits. The Wilderness Society acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional owners and custodians of all Country in Tasmania and pays respect to Elders past and present. We support eorts to progress reconciliation, land justice and equality. We recognise and welcome actions that seek to better identify, present, protect and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage, irrespective of where it is located.

  • Environment Tasmania Response to QON 270213
    February 2012 Dear Chairman, RE: Legislative Council Select Committee on the Tasmanian Forests Agreement I am writing responding to the request from the Legislative Council Select Committee for further information on the conservation values of the proposed reserves for consideration under the Tasmanian Forests Agreement. In addition to the joint ENGO submission, the tabled documents and our two presentations to the legislative council, I am hoping that the following information may provide additional assistance. 1. The Independent Verification Group Conservation reports As previously referenced in our written and face-to-face presentations to the committee, the Independent Verification Group conducted a comprehensive and rigorous scientific analysis of the conservation values contained in the forests proposed for reservation by the ENGOs under the IGA. The conservation assessment was led by Professor Brendan Mackey and included work completed by a range of highly respected conservation experts, including Dr Michael Lockwood, Peter Hitchcock AM, Professor Chris Johnson, Dr Menna Jones, Dr Peter McQuillan, amongst others. These experts conducted a suite of conservation analyses of the proposed reserves against 10 key conservation criteria. The ten criteria (see Figure 1.) used by the IVG scientists to assess the conservation values of the proposed reserves are established in Australian Government forest, biodiversity and environmental conservation commitments as articulated in international law (Convention on Biological Diversity, World Heritage Convention), Commonwealth law and national policy statements. These include the ‘JANIS-CAR’ criteria, established in a 1997 report outlining the ‘Nationally Agreed Criteria for the Establishment of a Comprehensive Adequate and Representative Reserve System for Forests in Australia.’ JANIS-CAR is a formal methodology which reflects foundational conservation values which inform Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy, the National Reserve System and Australia’s commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity.

  • The Weld River Group: a Major Upper Precambrian Dolomite Sequence in Southern Tasmania
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania. Volume 123, 1989 43 THE WELD RIVER GROUP: A MAJOR UPPER PRECAMBRIAN DOLOMITE SEQUENCE IN SOUTHERN TASMANIA by C. R. Calver (with two text-figures and two plates) CALVER, C.R., 1989 (31:x): The Weld River Group: a major upper Precambrian dolomite sequence in southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 123: 43-53. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.123.43 ISSN 0080--4703. Geological Survey of Tasmania, PO Box 56, Rosny Park, Australia 7018. The Weld River Group is a foldedPrecambrian sequence (several kilometres thick and predominantly of dolomite) that crops out in the northern Jubilee region, southern Tasmania. It overlies older predominantly siliciclastic sequences with paraconformity or angular unconformity that does not correspond to any major (cleavage-forming) tectonometamorphic event in the older successions. The group consists of a basal, relatively thin, siliciclastic unit (the Annakananda Formation), locally overlain by an impersistent pebbly mudstone (the Lake Timk Formation), followed by massive, fine-grained dolomite (the Gomorrah Dolomite), then bedded dolomite largely consisting of catagraphic, oolitic grainstone (the Devils Eye Dolomite), and then a second massive dolomite unit (the Styx Dolomite). In faulted contact with these units is a probably younger sequence of massive dolomite intercalated with dolomite-derived mixtite, mudstone and sandstone (the Cotcase Creek Formation). The older Precambrian siliciclastic sequences and the Weld River Group are unconformably overlain by a lithicwacke and conglomerate succession, probably of Middle or Upper Cambrian age. The stratigraphic setting of the group, and some lithologic features, suggest correlation with upper Precambrian dolomitic sequences in northwestern Tasmania (e.g.
