  • Western Australia – Permits and Permissions Required to Access Indigenous and Other Lands, Including National Parks
    Western Australia – Permits and permissions required to access indigenous and other lands, including national parks General: Quite a number of transit permits for aboriginal lands in WA are able to be issued by the Aboriginal Lands Trust of WA. (N.B.: The Aboriginal Lands Trust has no involvement whatever in the issuing of permits for the Canning Stock Route – for Canning information and Permits see below under the heading of Canning Stock Route). The Trust is a part of the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Applications can be made on-line at www.dia.wa.gov.au and simply follow the prompts. The web site contains a lot of excellent information including maps showing the specific areas and tracks where Permits are required and whether the Trust or a Land Council issues them. The conditions under which permits can be gained via an automated on-line process are also explained. Once you log on to the web site, click on the “Entering Aboriginal Land” button on the left side of the Home Page and read all of the information under the nominated four (4) headings BEFORE applying on-line. The maps showing the tracks and whether DIA or a Land Council, etc., issues them can be found under the “Travel Information” heading. About half way down that page is a map of WA showing the Land Council areas; simply click on the area you want to visit. The Trust can be contacted at: The Permits Officer, Aboriginal Lands Trust, PO Box 7770, Cloisters Square, Perth, WA 6850. Telephone (08) 9235 8000 or Fax (08) 9235 8088.

  • Developing Impact-Based Thresholds for Coastal Inundation from Tide Gauge Observations
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2019, 69, 252–272 https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19024 Developing impact-based thresholds for coastal inundation from tide gauge observations Ben S. HagueA,B,C, Bradley F. MurphyA, David A. JonesA and Andy J. TaylorA ABureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 1289, Melbourne, Vic. 3001, Australia. BSchool of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, Monash University, Clayton, Vic., Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. This study presents the first assessment of the observed frequency of the impacts of high sea levels at locations along Australia’s northern coastline. We used a new methodology to systematically define impact-based thresholds for coastal tide gauges, utilising reports of coastal inundation from diverse sources. This method permitted a holistic consideration of impact-producing relative sea-level extremes without attributing physical causes. Impact-based thresh- olds may also provide a basis for the development of meaningful coastal flood warnings, forecasts and monitoring in the future. These services will become increasingly important as sea-level rise continues.The frequency of high sea-level events leading to coastal flooding increased at all 21 locations where impact-based thresholds were defined. Although we did not undertake a formal attribution, this increase was consistent with the well-documented rise in global sea levels. Notably, tide gauges from the south coast of Queensland showed that frequent coastal inundation was already occurring. At Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, impact-based thresholds were being exceeded on average 21.6 and 24.3 h per year respectively. In the case of Brisbane, the number of hours of inundation annually has increased fourfold since 1977.

  • Following the Camel and Compass Trail One Hundred Years On
    Following the Camel and Compass Trail One Hundred Years on Ken LEIGHTON1 and James CANNING2, Australia Key words: Historical surveying, early Indigenous contact, Canning Stock Route SUMMARY In this paper, the authors Ken Leighton and James Canning tell the story of one of the most significant explorations in the history of Western Australia, carried out in arduous conditions by a dedicated Surveyor and his team in 1906. The experiences of the original expedition into remote Aboriginal homelands and the subsequent development of the iconic “Canning Stock Route” become the subject of review as the authors investigate the region and the survey after the passage of 100 years. Employing a century of improvements in surveying technology, the authors combine desktop computations with a series of field survey expeditions to compare survey results from the past and present era, often with surprising results. History Workshop - Day 2 - The World’s Greatest Surveyors - Session 4 1/21 Ken Leighton and James Canning Following the camel and compass trail one hundred years on (4130) FIG Congress 2010 Facing the Challenges – Building the Capacity Sydney Australia, 9 – 10 April 2010 Following the Camel and Compass Trail One Hundred Years on Ken LEIGHTON1 and James CANNING2, Australia ABSTRACT In the mere space of 100 years, the world of surveying has undergone both incremental and quantum leaps. This fact is exceptionally highlighted by the recent work of surveyors Ken Leighton and James Canning along Australia’s most isolated linear landscape, the Canning Stock Route. Stretching 1700 kilometres through several remote Western Australian deserts, this iconic path was originally surveyed by an exploration party in 1906, led by a celebrated Government Surveyor; Alfred Wernam Canning.
