FJBIIIR Printed in Australia by the Tasmanian Government Printer, Hobart . Explanatory Notes on the Windorah Geological Sheet Compiled by C. M. Gregory & R. R. Vine The Windorah Sheet area was mapped in 1966 by a Bureau of Mineral Resources field party, as part of a programme of regional geological map­ ping in the Great Artesian Basin in Queensland.· The area is covered by air-photographs at a nominal scale of 1:250,000, flown by Adastra Airways Ltd in 1958. A topographic base map at 1 :250,000 scale, supplied by the Division of National Mapping, Depart­ ment of National Development, was amended and brought up to date during the geological mapping project. Cadastral maps at 4 miles to 1 inch, pro­ duced by the Queensland Lands Department, also cover the area. The area is serviced by a tar-sealed road (the Diamantina Develop­ mental Road), between Quilpie and Windorah, and by a good gravel road between Windorah and Jundah. Other roads in the area are natural graded earth with gravel only in places. One commercial airline operates a weekly flight to Windorah from Brisbane and a fortnightly flight from Adelaide. Windorah, the only town in the Sheet area, has a population of about 100. Previous Investigations The area had not been systematically mapped before the 1966 survey. Understanding had come mainly from basinwide studies (Whitehouse, 1954) and a compendium of the geology of Queensland (Hill & Denmead, eds., 1960). Particular aspects of the late geological history were discussed by Woolnough (1927) and Whitehouse (1940, 1948). Semi-detailed gravity surveys were carried out for L. H. Smart Oil Exploration Co. Ltd and Alliance Oil Development N.L. (SOE, 1962; Staclcler, 1963). A reconnaissance survey of the rest of the Windorah Sheet area, which incorporated the results of previous scattered traverses ( Gibb, (1967), was carried out for the Bureau of Mineral Resources (Lonsdale, 1965). Bouguer anomalies from these surveys are shown on the geological map; contouring was mechanical. Some trends shown in the earlier company reports were based on geological interpretation and show appreciable differ­ ences from the mechanically plotted map, particularly in defining the Cana­ way Ridge. An aeromagnetic survey of the western third of the Sheet area was carried out for Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd and Santos Ltd ( 1963). 3 Seismic surveys were carried out for reconnaissance purposes (AOD 1963b), to select drilling sites (SOE, 1962b; AOD, 1964; FPC, 1966), and to check for deep refractors below the drilled depth of Alliance Chan­ dos No. 1 Well while it was temporarily st,1spended (AOD, 1966). PHYSIOGRAPHY To the north of Windorah town the Thomson and Barcoo Rivers join to hecome Cooper Creek. Together with their tributaries they drain prac­ tically all the Windorah Sheet area. In t4Des of heavy flood, water reaches South Australia and, rarely, Lake Eyre. The Bulgroo/eastern Kyabra Creek drainage system in the southeast of the Sheet area drains southwards to an extensive floodout area north of Eromanga. This is mainly an area pf internal drainage, but large floods may overflow along western Kyabra Creek to Cooper Creek. Watercourses are subject to severe seasonal flooding. A large com­ ponent of the floods of the Barcoo and Thomson Rivers originates a long way upstream and results in the introduction of alluvium into the area. The main river gradients are low; for example, the Barcoo River in the nortbeast of the Sheet area is less than 200 feet higher than Cooper Creek in the southwest- a gradient of less than 2 feet per mile. Landscape types in the area reflect the degree to which erosion and deposition have modified a low-relief Tertiary land surface which has been subjected to Cainozoic tectonic movements (Mabbott, Appendix 4 in Gregory et al., 1967). The nearly intact land surface is represented at the present day as a bare rock surface of silcrete (Fig. 1, unit 4), in plateaux or low-angle cuestas. These landforms are characterized by gently sloping summits and prominent bounding escarpments. Away from the escarpments soil processes have formed a red earth cover ( unit 7), with a dense mulga vegetation. More advanced dissection has developed stripped silcrete surfaces ( unit 5) in groups of mesas, buttes, and lower rounded hills, with flanking gravel­ strewn surfaces. Complete stripping of the Tertiary land surface has de­ veloped gently undulating grassy plains with thick soil cover over fresh Cretaceous sediments: the rolling downs (unit 3). These, in turn, are more or Jess modified with local veneers of colluvial or alluvial gravel. Depressions are occupied by the main drainage courses and are areas of sedimentation. The alluvial plains ( unit 1) are characterized by an anastomosing system of steep-sided channels with many billabongs, and by featureless backplains with marginal swamp depressions. Flanking the allu­ vial plains, and locally gradation al with them, are extensive sandplains ( unit 2), possibly representing older areas of alluviation modified by aeolian re­ sorting. Locally, minor dunefields have developed with linear dunes aligned west northwest. The sandplains merge with areas of intact silcrete through transitional belts with part.ial sand cover (unit 6). 4 Sondpfqfns 3 ~ Rolling Ow.s,,,Jth IHO,,#lft ~ Rolling /){Jwns ond Gra,,., 1 C~r Strlpp,d Sifcr,ld Sudoc,s Sifcr,11, .-flt, porfklf Sond cw,r Fig. 1.

  • COAG National Bushfire Inquiry
    Appendix D Fire history in Australia This appendix summarises the available information on major bushfire events in each state and territory as far back as records allow. There are many inconsistencies and gaps in the available information because there are no nationally agreed criteria for defining a ‘significant fire year’ or a ‘major fire event’. The available information shows the following: • Major fire events are a periodic feature in all states and territories. • The areas of land that are affected by fire continue to be significant. • There have been 59 recorded bushfire events where there has been loss of life, with a positive trend being the significant decline in the loss of life from bushfires in the last 20 years. • There have been 24 fire events resulting in major stock losses (defined as more than 1000 head). • There have been 21 fire events resulting in large-scale loss of houses (defined as more than 50 houses).

  • Tiree in 100 Objects – 63 – Chest
    THE HISTORY OF TIREE IN 100 OBJECTS - no. 63 THE SEA CHEST OF DÙGHALL AN ÒIR This wooden sea chest, covered with crocodile skin, was brought back from Australia by Dugald MacKinnon. He was known on Tiree as Dùghall an Òir 'Dugald of the gold', having emigrated to Australia and come back a wealthy man. Dùghall 'ic Nèill 'ic Iain 'Dugald the son of Neil the son of Iain', was born in Taigh an t- Sìthein 'the house of the fairy knoll' in Scarinish in 1840, the son of a boatman. He worked as a contractor and married Mary MacLean, also from Scarinish, when he was thirty-nine. The couple had a daughter, Donaldina, in 1881 and emigrated to Australia three years later. Despite his nickname implying he had made his fortune in the gold rushes, he appears to have worked on a number of stations in the outback of Queensland as the country was opened up to sheep: Adavale, Langlo Downs, Cairns and Toompine. Latterly the family lived in Charleville, 450 miles inland from Brisbane. Tragically, within two years of their arrival Donaldina was dead, and in 1907 Dugald's wife also died. Within months of this loss, he returned to Tiree. He appears to have been well liked, as several letters from old friends in the Queensland bush have survived: "I got your letter alright last week and was very glad to learn that you had reached Tiree in good fettle. I can quite believe that you find many things changed since you were home last … I expect that a good many of you old acquaintances are gone and that you are a greater stranger in Tiree than you are in Charleville.

Senator Fisher 10.46am - Please expand on your comment that local governments operators need extra time to conduct trials and cost benefit analyses of digital conversion options in relation to self help broadcasting sites and that this will not delay the digital switchover? RAPAD councils and all self-help licensees in remote areas of Queensland could be given the time to proof of concept digital self-help terrestrial transmission facilities; carry out subsequent cost benefit analysis; consult further with ratepayers; and decide to go ahead with establishing such a facility or not without affecting any of the indicated analogue switch-off dates for any region. All that would be required is for the remote areas of Queensland to either not be included in the regional Qld SSS contract and deadlines (just as remote SA was separated from regional SA for SSS implementation purposes see below table) or DBCDE could stick to its original closing date for remote Queensland SSS of March 2012 and delay its opening from 20 April to say August 2011 (see table below).
