  • The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura
    The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura Research on the history of the site and a management plan for its rehabilitation. By William Mudford Venturer Scout at Majura Mountain Scouts Research assisted by Waltraud Pix Co-ordinator of Friends of Mount Majura Park Care Group William Mudford’s Queen Scout Environment Project on Mount Majura Sheep Camp: Page 1 Introduction Mount Majura is located in the North of the Australian Capital Territory. A majority of Mount Majura is currently run as a Nature Reserve. Many parts of the reserve have infestations of non- indigenous plants, or weeds, because of prior land use and farming practices. One particular site, at the top of the Casuarina trail, on the saddle between Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie, known as the “Old Sheep Camp” is particularly infested with weeds. In my project I investigated the history of the site, the reasons for the weed infestation and the methods of rehabilitation the local park care group have available to them, and are utilising. This project seeks to answer the following questions about the site: 1. Who owned and managed the area and how was it used before it became a Nature Reserve? 2. What are the reasons for the heavy weed infestation on the site? 3. What processes and procedures can the local environment group use to rehabilitate the area? William Mudford’s Queen Scout Environment Project on Mount Majura Sheep Camp: Page 2 Contents Part 1 – The history of the area Page 4 Part 2 – The reasons for the infestation of non-indigenous flora at the Sheep Camp site.

  • Mt Kosciuszko”
    The known and less familiar history of the naming of “Mt Kosciuszko” Andrzej S. Kozek1 The highest peak on the continental Australia bears the name “Mt Kosciuszko” and we know this from our time in primary school. We as well remember that it was discovered and named by the Polish traveller and explorer, Paul Edmund de Strzelecki. Polish people consider it a magnificent monument to Tadeusz Kosciuszko. However, the history of its naming along with many related controversies are less familiar and lead to dissemination of incorrect information both in Poland and in Australia. Hence, to fill the gap, it is necessary to gather the facts in one publication equipped with references to the relevant historical resources. Key terms: Mt Kosciuszko, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Kosciuszko's Will, Paul Edmund Strzelecki, Strzelecki, Australia, Aborigines, equality under the law, freedom, democracy. Macarthur and Strzelecki’s Expedition Paul Edmund Strzelecki (1797-1873) arrived in Australia in April 1839, as one of four passengers on the merchant ship Justine carrying potatoes and barley [P1, p. 57]. Half a century had already passed since the British flotilla under the command of Governor Arthur Phillip had landed in Australia on the shores of the Bay, which he named Sydney Harbour, and nearly 70 years since James Cook assimilated Australia into the British Empire. Strzelecki was a passionate of geology, a new discipline at the time, dealing with minerals and the wealth of the earth, and he was an expert in this field. His set goal for visiting Australia was to study Australia’s geology, or at least that of it’s eastern part, which no one had yet done systematically.

  • Snowpatch Herbfield in the Australian Alps Bioregion As a CRITICALLY ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Act
    NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee Preliminary Determination The NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee, established under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (the Act), has made a Preliminary Determination to support a proposal to list Snowpatch Herbfield in the Australian Alps bioregion as a CRITICALLY ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Act. Listing of Critically Endangered Ecological communities is provided for by Part 4 of the Act. This determination contains the following information: Parts 1 & 2: Section 1.6 of the Act defines an ecological community as “an assemblage of species occupying a particular area”. These features of Snowpatch Herbfield in the Australian Alps bioregion are described in Parts 1 and 2 of this Determination, respectively. Part 3: Part 3 of this Determination describes the eligibility for listing of this ecological community in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Act according to criteria prescribed by the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017. Part 4: Part 4 of this Determination provides additional information intended to aid recognition of this community in the field. Part 1. Assemblage of species 1.1 Snowpatch Herbfield in the Australian Alps bioregion (hereafter referred to as Snowpatch Herbfield) is characterised by the assemblage of species listed below. Blechnum penna-marina subsp. alpina Neopaxia australasica Brachyscome nivalis Oreomyrrhis pulvinifica Cardamine robusta Plantago glacialis Carex canescens Plantago muelleri Carex cephalotes Poa costiniana Carex hypandra Polystichum proliferum Epilobium tasmanicum Ranunculus anemoneus Luzula acutifolia subsp. nana Ranunculus niphophilus 1.2 The total species list of the community across all occurrences is likely to be considerably larger than that given above.
