  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Fraser Island Beach Houses and a Sign Identifying "Second Valley"
    How do we get there? Plan A From the South via Noosa, Double Island Point and Rainbow Beach This is the best option, when the tides are right. Take in the view along Teewah Beach and visit the Cooloola Coloured Sands on your way to Fraser Island. The key question to be answered before taking this route is "Can I safely get around the 8 Mile Rocks just south of Rainbow Beach township at low tide?" One factor affecting your decision will be the amount of sand on the beach. While there can be plenty of sand for months, a cyclone or just a couple of days of heavy seas can quickly remove sand and render the 8 Mile rocks impassable. For the latest beach conditions, check with the Ranger at the Rainbow Beach office of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service on (07) 5486 3160. For safety, plan to be at Rainbow Beach as close to low tide as possible and certainly no later than two hours after low tide. The tides at Rainbow Beach are very close to those at Noosa Heads. Look up Noosa Heads tides at the National Tidal Facility web site. Driving Instructions: From Brisbane, drive north along the Bruce Highway (1) as far as the Noosa turnoff at Cooroy (about 160km). The exit off the highway is a left turn at the top of a double-lane uphill section. (Unless you haven't seen Noosa Heads before,ignore the multiple signs directing you off the highway towards Noosa between Forest Glen and Eumundi.) From Cooroy, drive east on the Cooroy-Noosa Road about 12km to Tewantin.

  • Queensland's Timber and Iron Lighthouses
    Queensland’s timber and iron lighthouses: 19th century colonial innovation Peter Marquis-Kyle, conservation architect, Brisbane SUMMARY: The geography, resources and economic circumstances of the colony of Queensland fostered the local design and construction of two related types of composite timber-framed, iron-clad lighthouse towers in Queensland from the 1870s – an early type clad with riveted wrought iron plating, and a later type clad with corrugated galvanised iron. This paper gives a short historical account of their design and construction, outlines the range of towers and how they have been changed. The paper concludes with an assessment of the success and influence of the type, and a table of major 19th century lighthouses. structures was built in 1845, the youngest in 1984.1 As a 1.

  • Great Sandy Region Management Plan 1994
    GREAT SANDY REGION Management Plan 1994 - Revised version September 2005 Note This management plan is not a statutory management plan under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 or the Marine Parks Act 2004. It is considered a management statement for the purpose of providing management direction for the region. This plan is currently being reviewed. September 2011 This plan does not intend to affect, diminish or extinguish Native Title and associated rights. It is envisaged that all of the provisions in this Management Plan will be able to be implemented by or before the year 2010, subject to approval within normal budgetar y processes, or subject to special funding arrangements. Note that implementation of some management strategies might need to be phased in according to availability of resources. In 1994 the indicative cost of implementation of this Management Plan was $220 million over 16 years. The level of funding allocated to implementation of the Plan ultimately depends on the budget priorities of the Commonwealth, State and local governments, the extent to which funding can be met from permit fees and other user charges, and the level of participation by the private sector.
