Introduction 1.1 Location, reservation and regional setting Features Description Location Murrurundi Pass National Park Community Conservation Area Zone 1, commonly known as Murrurundi Pass National Park and referred to as the ‘park’ in this plan, is located on the south-east side of the Liverpool Range. It is immediately east of Nowlands Gap (also known as Murrurundi Pass), two kilometres north-west of Murrurundi in the Upper Hunter district of New South Wales. Area The park is 215 hectares. It is bounded to the south-west by the New England Highway, to the north by the watershed of the Liverpool Range, and to the east by private property. Reservation date 1 December 2005 Previous tenure Murrurundi Pass National Park was previously part of the Murrurundi Common, a permanent common dedicated in 1873 also known as the ‘Big Common’, which was managed by the Common Reserves Trust. The name Murrurundi comes from the Wonnarua Aboriginal language Murrumdoorandi, however, there is uncertainty about what it means. McCarthy (1963) suggests ‘mountain’. Upper Hunter Shire Council (2012) gives ‘nestling in the valley’, ‘five fingers’ or ‘meeting place at the five fingers’ as possible meanings. The fingers refer to five unusual rock formations at the northern end of the Murrurundi township, of which four remain. Regional context Biogeographic The park is located in the north-west corner of the Hunter subregion of region the Sydney Basin Bioregion, where it joins the Brigalow Belt South and Nandewar bioregions. It is part of a chain of reserves that lie along the Liverpool Range of the Great Dividing Range, from Coolah Tops National Park in the west, to Ben Halls Gap National Park in the east. Surrounding The township of Murrurundi is two kilometres south-east of the park. land use The New England Highway forms the south-west boundary of the park. The part of Murrurundi Common that was not reserved as part of the park is located on the opposite side of the highway. The Main North Railway crosses the Liverpool Range through the Ardglen Tunnel, which is almost underneath the north-west corner of the park. Adjoining land uses are grazing of sheep, cattle and horses. A large hard-rock quarry operates at Ardglen, approximately two kilometres west of the park. Significant communication infrastructure, including radio, television and emergency services repeater towers, are located at Mount Helen, approximately three kilometres east of the park. Other authorities The park is located within the administrative areas of the Wanaruah Local Aboriginal Land Council, Hunter Local Land Services and Upper Hunter Shire Council. 1 Murrurundi Pass National Park Plan of Management 1.2 Statement of significance Murrurundi Pass National Park is significant because of its natural and cultural

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

It completes the NSWVCA coverage for the Border Rivers-Gwydir and Namoi CMA areas and records plant communities in the Central West and Hunter–Central Rivers CMA areas. In total, 585 plant communities are now classified in the NSWVCA covering 11.5 of the 18 Bioregions in NSW (78% of the State). Of these 226 communities are in the NSW Western Plains and 416 are in the NSW Western Slopes. 315 plant communities are classified in the BBS, NAN and west-NET Bioregions including 267 new descriptions since Version 2 was published in 2008. Descriptions of the 315 communities are provided in a 919 page report on the DVD accompanying this paper along with updated reports on other inland NSW bioregions and nine Catchment Management Authority areas fully or partly classified in the NSWVCA to date.
