The combined plaquing ceremonies (Peats Ferry Bridge and remnants of the two 1930' s Ferry Docks) and launch of the RTA tour brochure on Sunday 17 April 2005 at Kangaroo Point were very successful, well organised, well presented and well attended. This was due largely to the time and effort put into the planning since mid-2004 by Ken McNally, Special Projects Manager, RT A.

Valuable input was obtained from many sources, The Mayors and staffs of Hornsby Shire Council and of Gosford City Council Homsby Shire Historical Society Brisbane Water Historical Society Inc.

The activities were well recorded by RT A video cameraman Ross Frizelle and their photographer Geoff Ward - for future use in a video that will include clips from the movie film of the opening ceremony for Peats Ferry Bridge on 5 May 1945 - and for other promotional plans. A delicious afternoon tea was supplied by Cf's Coronation Cafe, Hornsby. The RTA team did a splendid job in setting up and removing all the equipment and controlling the parking of visitors' vehicles.

These floods caused considerable property damage and resulted in morphological changes to the channels and floodplains 1 of, the Hawkesbury system. This paper describes the flodd in the Hawkesbury-Nepean system in the reach'extending from Penrith to Pitt Town •. Storm Pattern An intense low pressure cell developed over the Coral Sea on the 16th March, 1978. This low pressure system travelled southeast towards the Queensland coast and gained in intensity (Fig.l). On the 18th March it,appeared that the cell would move eastwards away from Australia. However, the system reversed its direction of travel and moved inland. Resultant wind systems brought warm moist air from ,the east onto the .. " coast of New South Wal,es. Consequently, heavy rainfall$ occurred from f I .. the 18th to 24th March over the whole of eastern New South Wales.
