  • 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.

  • Steenstrupia ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM UNIVERSITY of COPENHAGEN
    Steenstrupia ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN Volume 2: 49-90 No. 5: January 25, 1972 Brachyura collected by Danish expeditions in south-eastern Australia (Crustacea, Decapoda) by D. J. G. Griffin The Australian Museum, Sydney Abstract. A total of 73 species of crabs are recorded mainly from localities ranging from the southern part of the Coral Sea (Queensland) through New South Wales and Victoria to the eastern part of the Great Australian Bight (South Australia). Four species are new to the Australian fauna, viz. Ebalia (E.) longimana Ortmann, Oreophorus (O.) ornatus Ihle, Aepiniis indicus (Alcock) and Medaeus planifrons Sakai. Ebalia (Phlyxia) spinifera Miers, Stat.now is raised to rank of species; Philyra undecimspinosa (Kinahan), comb.nov. includes P. miinayeitsis Rathbun, syn.nov. and Eumedonits villosus Rathbun is a syn.nov. of E. cras- simatuis Haswell, comb.nov. Lectotypes are designated for Piiggetia mosaica Whitelegge, PiluDvuis australis Whitelegge and P. moniUfer Haswell. Notes on morphology, taxonomy and general distribution are included. From 1909 to 1914 the eastern and southern parts of the Australian continental shelf and slope were trawled by the Fisheries Investigation Ship "Endeavour". Dr. Th. Mortensen, during his Pacific Expedition of 1914-16, collected speci­ mens from the decks of the ship as it was working along southern New South Wales during the last year of this survey and visited several other localities along the coasts of New South Wales and Victoria. The Crustacea Brachyura collected by the "Endeavour" were reported on by Rathbun (1918a, 1923) and by Stephenson & Rees (1968b). Rathbun's reports, dealing with a total of 88 species (including 23 new species), still provide a very important source of information on eastern and southern Australian crabs, the only other major report dealing with the crabs of this area being Whitelegge's (1900) account of the collections taken by the "Thetis" along the New South Wales coast in the late 1800's.

So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner.

  • QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS and MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS AND MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, 28 September 1972) The growth and development of ports to handle seaborne trade has been vital to Australia, but nowhere has this been so marked as in Queensland, fortunate in possessing more deep-sea ports than any other State. From the founding of the convict settlement in Moreton Bay in 1824 and for many years thereafter, settlement, development and supplies depended entirely on sea com­ munications. With the movement of explorers, prospectors and settlers steadily northward, vessels sailed up the coast carrying supplies for the overland travellers: some prospectors and others took passage by sea rather than face the land journey. Both passengers and cargo had to be put ashore safely at a point on the coast nearest to their destination with sheltered water. In the earlier days of the nineteenth century it was essential that some of the vessels find shelter where there were supplies of water, firewood for the ship's galley, with such food as the virgin countryside offered and where the mariner in distress could make good repairs to his ship. With great thankfulness James Cook found such a haven in the Endeavour River in time of desperate need in 1770. As settlements grew and developed, merchant ships, in addition to maintaining services on the coast, now carried our products to oversea markets, returning with migrants and goods.
