But the use of the caravan is extending beyond the realms of a pleasure vehicle. It is being used as a temporary home during the housing shortage; it is being sent with scientific and survey parties into our back country, commercial travellers can take their services beyond town limits, many are fitted as workshops or baby clinics, and all are serving the nation in this new age where distance no longer matters. The Editors of Motor Manual will welcome contributions on caravan craft and they hope that this first edition of this new annual THE DON will open a little wider the door to our great outdoors.

CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

  • Border Rivers Community Profile: Irrigation Region
    Border Rivers community profile Irrigation region Key issues for the region 1. Region’s population — the population of the Border Rivers region is approximately 49,646, and the ABS records around 570 irrigating agricultural businesses. 2. Gross value of irrigated agricultural production ­­— the drought affected gross value of irrigated agricultural production for 2006 in the Border Rivers was $350million. 3. Water entitlements (approximate) • Surface Water Long-term Cap (long-term average annual extraction volume) 399 GL, to be shared between NSW and Queensland. • High Security — 1 GL (NSW). • General Security 265 GL (NSW). • Supplementary licences 120 GL (NSW). • Groundwater entitlements — nominal volume 7 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements upper reaches (unsupplemented) — nominal volume 21 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements in the lower reaches (supplemented) nominal volume 102 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements in the lower reaches (unsupplemented) — nominal volume 210 GL (Queensland). 4. Major enterprises — broadacre furrow irrigation, principally cotton, is the major irrigated enterprise, with cereal crops, fodder crops, fruit and vegetables also grown in different parts of the catchment. 5. Government Buyback — the Commonwealth Government’s buyback in the region has been 7 GL so far. 6. Water dependence — The Border Rivers is highly dependent on water, because agriculture, particularly irrigated agriculture, is a major driver in the economies of Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe and several smaller towns. 7. Current status • The Border Rivers is an agricultural region with several large towns, notably Inverell, Glen Innes, Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe and Tenterfield, with relatively diverse economies. Of these, Goondiwindi and Stanthorpe are more irrigation dependent towns likely to be affected significantly by any move to lower sustainable diversion limits.

  • Species Summaries Catfish
    Species Summaries Catfish 23 Analysis and Summary of Historical Information on Native Fish During the course of this project a large amount of historical information was collected on the native fish of the Murray-Darling Basin. Most of this has been reviewed on a catchment by catchment basis in the previous sections. The primary aim of the project was to collect historical information and identify the original distribution and habitat preferences of Trout cod and, secondarily, the other large native fish species within the southern half of the Basin. This section provides an analysis and summary of all the information collected. The summary is presented on an individual species basis and for each the information is discussed under the following headings: 1. European Discovery: A description of the earliest European encounters with each species; 2. Aboriginal Names: A collation of names reported for each species in the writings of early Europeans attributed to aboriginal people. The list is certain to be very limited in scope as until comparatively recently few publications documented aboriginal language; 3. European Names: Briefly outlined is a history of the changes and synonyms of the scientific names used for each species, followed by the common names in general use from the past up to the present. In an earlier section a lengthy review was presented, covering the history of the taxonomic argument over Trout cod that continued for nearly 150 years. While previously discussed, a brief summary of the key changes in the scientific name of the Trout cod along with the basic reasons for these changes, has been provided; 4.

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation
