This study provided a way to objectively measure the degree of dehydration. These techniques require further development for use in systematic research under extensive grazing A range of research conditions. The experiment showed that newborn calves experiencing milk depravation lose an average of 7pc of live weight daily under comfortable condi- tions (20 degrees Celsius), but twice this when maxi- mum temperatures are in the vicinity of 40 degrees Celsius. It also showed that when calves lose 15pc of their live weight, which is equivalent to 20pc dehydration, projects in the pipeline in as little as one to three days under tropical condi- tions, some calves are unable to recover without intervention.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • Bridge & Culvert Restrictions for Category 1 Special Purpose Vehicles
    Bridge & Culvert Restrictions for Category 1 Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) - September 2021 Legend Structure ID – The unique structure number of each bridge or culvert on the state road network. Structure type – Structures may be a bridge or a culvert. Structure name – The name of the structure. Culverts may be unnamed. The same bridge name may apply to two structure IDs when they are separate structures on the left and right side of the same road. Road ID – The unique number of the state road on which the structure is located. Road name – The State Government name of the road. The name may differ from the local council name for a section of the road. Restriction – A ‘CANNOT CROSS’ restriction is a vulnerable structure that is highly unlikely to be approved for a single trip permit. A ‘SINGLE TRIP’ structure is a less vulnerable and cannot be crossed unless a single trip permit is issued for the class 1 SPV for the desired route across the structure. Region – The region that corresponds to the Main Roads district maps. Latitude – The latitude map coordinate for the structure. It can be used in combination with the longitude to locate the structure using GPS or mapping tools. The structure will be in the correct vicinity but may not be exactly where the latitude and longitude display it depending on the accuracy of the map or mapping tool used. Longitude – The longitude map coordinate for the structure. It can be used in combination with the latitude to locate the structure using GPS or mapping tools.

  • DUNCAN Mcintyre and the Search for Leichhardt by J.C.H
    DUNCAN McINTYRE and the Search for Leichhardt by J.C.H. Gill, M.B.E., B.A., LL.B., F.R.Hist.S.Q. (AU rights reserved) After 1859 the new Colony of Queensland became the focus of attention of those seeking new pastoral mns. The Plains of Promise of Stokes, the first Leichhardt expedition, the tragic fate of Burke and WiUs and the explorations of George Elphinstone Dalrymple all combined to attract attention to North Queensland and to the north­ west of the Colony in particular. However, there was the matter of the westem boundary of the Colony which was considered by Govemor Bowen and the first Colonial Parliament to require adjustment. The letters patent of 6 June 1859 defined the boundary as "the 141 st meridian of east longitude, which is the eastem boundary of South AustraHa". A.C. Gregory the Survey-General had advised the ministry that "a boundary at the 141 st meridian would just cut off from Queensland the greater portion of the only territory available for setdement, i.e. the Plains of Promise, and the only safe harbour, i.e. Investigator Road, in the Gulf of Carpentaria". The local legislature asked for an extension of the boundary to the 138th meridian of east longitude. After some importuning by Bowen, and evidently by certain gentlemen in Victoria who were desirous of forming a settlement on the northem coast of Australia (a phenomenon not unknown today), the Imperial Govemment acceded to the request. On 12 April 1862 the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for Colonies advised Bowen that the Letters Patent had been issued aimexing to Queensland that part of "New South Wales as lies to the northward of the 21st parallel of south latitude, and between the 141 st and 13 8th meridians of east longitude, together with all and every the adjacent islands their members and appurtenances in the Gulf of Carpentaria".
