  • Mount Canobolas Fauna Survey

    Mount Canobolas Fauna Survey

    MOUNT CANOBOLAS FAUNA SURVEY 24TH – 29th MARCH 2019 1 Introduction Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area The Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area (SCA) Draft Plan of Management begins with the following vision for this reserve: Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area is a sentinel in the landscape. It is a park valued, understood and protected by the community for its uniqueness, biodiversity, visitor experiences, and for the spiritual and cultural connections between people and this special place, now and into the future (OEH 2018). This iconic place is an extinct volcano rising to an altitude of 1397m asl and more than 500m above the surrounding central tablelands landscape. It has great significance for the local Wiradjuri custodians. The ecological values of this place are shaped by its high altitude, volcanic origins, isolation from similar geological formations and the extensive clearing of the surrounding landscape leaving it as a relatively isolated remnant of native vegetation. The presence of sub-alpine communities is particularly noteworthy (OEH 2018). The SCA incorporates an area of 1672 ha. The vegetation communities of the Mt Canobolas SCA have been broadly described and mapped with the following communities defined: 1. Eucalyptus macrorhyncha – E. dives: shrubby open forest and woodland (26% of the SCA) a. E. macrorhyncha dominant in more exposed sites b. E. dives dominant in less exposed sites 2. E. pauciflora – E. dalrympleana: Grassy woodlands and tall open forests (51% of the SCA) a. E. pauciflora – E. canobolensis grassy woodlands b. E. dalrympleana – E. viminalis tall open forests 3. Outcrop low open woodland (E. canobolensis – E. petroc?) and / or shrubs 4.

  • Berkeley Prepares for War

    Berkeley Prepares for War

    60 July lllawarra Historical Society Inc. BERKELEY PREPARES FOR WAR When she was researching the history of Berkeley, Society member, Kathleen Barwick, (now Kathleen Hooke) received the following information from the Australian Army: I refer to your letter of 7th April, 1963, in which you requested information in regard to the concrete blocks in Lake lllawarra and rank trap in the Berkeley Area. It is regretted that Army files containing the correspondence dealing with the concrete blocks and the tank traps have been destroyed, and as such, no specific information can be obtained for you. In reply to your questions, concerning the defence of Berkeley, I will answer each ques­ tion separately. Why was the tank trap necessary? It was designed to stop an armoured thrust along the coast from Port Kembla. Were there extensive precautions taken to stop the japanese entering here (Berkeley)? After the capture of Singapore, plans were prepared for the defence of Eastern Australian Coastline with special attention to possible landing areas near major cities and large industrial centres. Wollongong - Port Kembla was one of these areas to be defended. Was the japanese navy expected to force a landing near Port Kembla? It is generally not known where an enemy would strike on such an extensive coastline but Wollongong -Port Kembla is an industrial centre and as such was regarded as possible target for enemy assault. Were there other tank traps established along the Eastern coast ofAustralia? The Eastern Coast has many coastal rivers which would have been possible defensive barriers for tanks, but all major centres of population had plans for the construction of tank traps and many were actually built.
