Winter certainly arrived on the weekend, it was freezing. It is the coldest blast I can remember so early for a long time. In contrast the Easter break and the next 10 days were fantastic, more like summer, not nearly winter. We spent a couple lazy days on Shazam, spending some time in Smiths Creek, my favourite place and it was just perfect. After a quick trip to the airport on Monday morning to drop a friend back after the couple of days aboard, we headed up to Hardys Bay in Brisbane Waters, it was a great place, easy to get into with our draft of 2m. We entered with the last couple of hours of the tide running up to high and came out at the top of the tide which is about 1/2 hour behind. The bay has easy land access plus a RSL & general store. I recommend a visit to Hardys Bay. I was even swimming. Remember some of the best cruising is in winter. To all those of you heading north have a great trip and we look forward to updates along your journey. Smooth seas. Colin Pitstock Cruising Captain and Vice-Commodore, Cruising. 4 FUTURE EVENTS: Advance Notice – Sugarloaf Raft-up and Safety Audits June Long Weekend Sat 7th – Mon 9th June Our annual safety raft-up is being held this year on the June Long Weekend in Sugarloaf Bay. As usual this will be a combined social raft-up and serious safety check. If you are coming offshore with us in the next year you will need a Cat 4 Special Regulations Audit - unless you plan only to take part in Harbour events, in which case the simpler Cat 7 is all you need. Alternatively, if you are not completely ready, you can have a “pre-check” with one of the division auditors, then book in with the club at the “Get Set Weekend” one week later. You will need to: a) Have a look at your Blue Book or at last year’s form b) Collect the appropriate Category form from the club or web site c) Service (or replace) any time-expired items. Special attention needs to be paid to: flares; EPIRB registrations (and batteries); PFDs (Cat 4 inflatables will probably need servicing); first aid kit contents; and fire extinguishers d) Check-off the items on the form prior to the audit (there is a column for this), then lay them out to speed up the audit Fire extinguishers can be serviced at the Club the following weekend. The good news is that no major updates have been made to the Blue Book requirements since last year. If you need any advice – please feel free to contact the Division auditors – Trevor D’Alton, Phil Darling, Glynne Attersall, Paul Wotherspoon or Mike McEvoy. Phil Darling, ‘eXpresso’ (mob) 0411-882-760 5 SPECIAL EPIRIB OFFER … Safety Inspections are looming again and this year, but do you realize your 406 EPIRB is now down to its last year of acceptability. From 1st July 2015 the YA Blue Book requires all EPIRBs to incorporate a GPS receiver as this additional feature reduces the search area considerably and greatly increases your chance of survival if ever the unthinkable happens. Instead of a search area typically of around 5 Kms radius, your location will be transmitted to an accuracy of 100 metres which in the case of fog or at night, gives you a much better chance of a quick rescue. For those of you that have a GME 406 EPIRIB the Supplier has agreed to upgrade to the 406G model with GPS for $219 compared to the new price of $349. So to those of you who are looking at a battery replacement cost in the near future, you might consider putting this towards the upgrade. If enough members are interested we might consider a run to the Factory at Ryde NSW returning new for old. If you package up the your existing GME 406 EPIRIB together with your … 1. Name 2. Phone number 3. Boat name, 4. along with the $219, The writer has volunteered to collect all EPIRBs at the May C/Division meeting and return the new units at the June meeting. I will make only one run, so don’t forget to button hole me at the next meeting. This offer applies to the orange GME EPIRBs only. Paul Wotherspoon, ‘Rapture’ 6 Mystery Cruise Norah Head Lighthouse Fri August 7th - Sun 10th This year’s Mystery Cruise is to Norah Head Lighthouse, on the Central Coast. Accommodation for the weekend (Friday and Saturday night) is in the original Lighthouse Keepers’ 2 restored cottages. The above dates are available for a short time, an alternative date is 29th-31st August. Other accommodation is available nearby. The cottages are very much in demand, and bookings will need to be made very soon. Those interested in coming along, contact Maralyn after the April meeting, or email on [email protected]. A 50% deposit of $720 in total is required to book the two for us. The cottages are self-contained and are heritage listed to retain the original atmosphere. There are three bedrooms and sweeping verandahs; two queen-sized beds, two single beds; two roll-away beds, sleeping a maximum of 8 people. Cost is $780 and $680 for the 2 cottages, or approx. $125 pp if sharing the cottages - more if keeping to a maximum of 6 people. All rooms are comfortably furnished and there is a full kitchen, laundry facilities; an indoor bath and shower and toilet. The lounge rooms have gas log fires, TV/DVD and video player. Guests can supply their own linen or linen hire is available at a cost of $15.00 per head and includes sheets, towels, face washer, bath mat and tea towel. Tours of the Lighthouse are available daily, at a cost of $6 per person.

In question 2 – where I said, referring to a two-flag signal often flown on barges “the lower one is alternate red and white diagonal stripes” – as pointed out by several respondents I really meant “the lower one is alternate red and YELLOW diagonal stripes” which is code flag Y(yankee). Many apologies. So – on with the quiz for this month. 1. You see a large commercial vessel flying two flags (from adjacent halyards) – one a red swallowtail, and the other showing white and red vertical halves. What do these mean? 2. The whale watching season is about to begin. How close can you approach by ship to a whale? 3. Coming into a port, you see a new marker. It is coloured red over green over red, and had a red can-shaped top mark.

  • Contaminant Chemistry and Toxicity of Sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: Spatial Extent and Chemistry–Toxicity Relationships
    Vol. 363: 71–87, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 15 doi: 10.3354/meps07445 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Contaminant chemistry and toxicity of sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: spatial extent and chemistry–toxicity relationships Gavin F. Birch1,*, Stephanie McCready1, Edward R. Long2, Stuart S. Taylor1, 3, Gina Spyrakis1 1School of Geosciences, Environmental Geology Group, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, 2006, Australia 2ERL Environmental, 3691 Cole Road South, Salem, Oregon 97306, USA 3URS, 116 Miller St., North Sydney, New South Wales, 2060, Australia ABSTRACT: The spatial distribution of chemical contamination and toxicity of surficial sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia, was investigated in a 3-tiered, hierarchical approach. An initial chemical investigation throughout the entire estuary (Stage 1) indicated wide ranges and different spatial patterns in sediment chemical concentrations. Sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used as a preliminary estimate of possible toxicity in Stage 2 of the investigation. Assessment of chemical mixtures indicated that sediments in a small part (~2%) of the harbour had the highest probability of being toxic (~75%), whereas sediment in almost 25% of the port was estimated to have an inter- mediate (~50%) probability of being toxic. The SQG assessment in Stage 2 enabled careful stratifica- tion of the harbour into areas with different toxicity risks, reducing cost and time commitments in the final tier of assessment. The spatial survey carried out in Stage 3 involved concurrent chemical and ecotoxicological analyses. In this final stage, the degree of response in tests of amphipod survival in whole sediment samples, as well as in tests of microbial metabolism (Microtox©) and sea urchin egg fertilisation and embryo development in pore waters, generally increased with increasing chemical concentrations.

  • Manly, Warringah and Pittwater: First Fleet Records of Events, 1788-1790
    Manly, Warringah and Pittwater: First Fleet Records of Events, 1788-1790 No. 5: Survey of Middle Harbour: 21st to 24th April, 1788. Acknowledgement The authors gratefully acknowledge assistance given by the staff of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. Copyright: Shelagh and George Champion, 1990. ISBN 0 9596484 7 X. The discovery of Middle Harbour above the Spit, and in particular the report by Captain Hunter of a run of fresh water feeding into the upper part of it, apparently led to Governor Phillip’s expedition of 15th April, 1788, which began in the Manly area and proceeded overland until the run of fresh water was reached. Our article, ‘Finding the right track’ deals with the exploration, 15th to 18th April. Another consequence of the discovery was a survey of Middle Harbour, carried out by Captain Hunter, Lieutenant Bradley, and James Keltie, the master of the Sirius. Seaman Jacob Nagle was a member of Governor Phillip’s boat crew. When this crew was not needed, Phillip used to send them out fishing at night. Nagle claimed that on one such excursion they found Middle Harbour, above the Spit: “On one of these excurcions, one night shooting the seen [seine] at the head of Middle Harbour, as we supposed, and shifting a long a rising sandy beach towards the north side, we found a narrow entrance, and going over the bank of sand, we discovered an other branch runing to the westward, full of coves, though we ware as far as this beach when surveying with the Govenor but did not discover the entrance of this branch.

  • Woodleys Cottage Broken Bay Customs Station Station Beach, Barrenjoey
    Woodleys Cottage Broken Bay Customs Station Station Beach, Barrenjoey "When worn out with city cares and weary with its strife, then hie thee unto Broken Bay to renew thy lease of life" F. S Stacy, Barranjoey Visitors Book 17 March 1900 There was a holiday at Barrenjoey; spent in an old stone cottage called Woodleys Cottage at the foot of a steep track (smuggler’s Track) leading up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse. - To get there we had to row from Gow’s Wharf at Palm Beach, Pittwater. In those days Palm Beach and Cronulla were regarded as far enough to go for a holiday; but on one occasion we let our hair down and rented a cottage at Wallarah Point, Tuggerah Lakes, reached by launch down the creek from Wyong. I can still taste the succulent prawns we used to catch there. Incidentally, the stone cottage under Barrenjoey was one of three customs cottages built in 1862 together with a substantial stone jetty. The customs station had been established there prior to this, in fact in 1843, as a result of the increased smuggling in Broken Bay. As early as May 1846 the Commissioner of Customs in London reported that the Custom Station at Broken Bay had been "successful in checking smuggling." Prior to the first World War transport to the Peninsular and Palm Beach in particular was, to say the least, difficult. Proceeding from Circular Quay one took a ferry to Manly, then a horse-drawn streetcar to Narrabeen where a ferry crossing was made of the lake. A sulky continued the journey to Church Point and finally one took another row-boat ferry to Palm Beach.

  • Page 1 Sydney Harbour: Its Diverse Biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings
    Sydney Harbour: its diverse biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings, Shane T. Ahyong, Michael B. Ashcroft, Mark A. McGrouther and Amanda L. Reid The Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010 All records of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms and fishes from Sydney Harbour were extracted from the Australian Museum database, and plotted onto a map of Sydney Harbour that was divided into four regions. Records were analysed according to the number of species, genera and families present and over 3000 species were recorded, approximately double to triple the number of species found in the neighbouring Hawkesbury River, Botany Bay and Port Hacking. We examined the rate of accumulation of records and species over time since the 1860s, which followed a stepwise pattern usually correlated with the research activity of specific curators at the Australian Museum. The high species richness of Sydney Harbour is probably the result of multiple factors including significant tidal flushing and the high diversity of habitats present. Not all parts of the harbour have been well sampled, however, and we highlight areas and habitats that should be prioritised for further biodiversity surveys. An Appendix is provided listing all species in the five groups of animals considered here. The present study highlights the remarkable richness of the Sydney Harbour fauna and provides a consolidated background to guide future management and research, and emphasises the values of museum collections. ABSTRACT Key words: Sydney Harbour, diversity, crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms, fishes http://dx.doi.org/10.7882/AZ.2012.031 Introduction Sydney Harbour is a drowned river valley that formed area of about 50 km2 and a total catchment of 500 km2 during a rise in sea level approximately 10,000 years (Birch and McCready 2009).
