Scotland Island is also included in the study area as are a number of I parcels of land on the western shore of Pittwater. I 1.2 INITIATIVE FOR STUDY This study is one component of a heritage study being undertaken for the Warringah Shire Council by I Brian McDonald Architect Pty Ltd. I 1.3 OBJECTIVES Three major objectives have been defined for this work. 'These are: I 1.3.1 To define a predictive development model for the study area. I 1.3.2 To assess the archaeological potential of the study area. 1.3.3 To survey the study area both as a means of testing I the predictive model and to record any archaeological sites located during the work. I 1.4 METHODOLOGY The development of the area has been defined in the I separate archival analysis. Detailed site survey was not considered to be a viable tool for the heritage study. This is common to all heritage studies. I Instead, a predictive model based on the historical development of the area, as defined from the archival resource, has been prepared. This outlines areas of potential archaeological significance. The I site survey was used to test this model as well as to investigate specific sites referred to in I historical literature. The archaeology of standing buildings is not a I feature of this report. It is considered that any I I I I 2 I extant nineteenth century buildings have the potential to provide important archaeological data i£ properly investigated as do many twentieth I century structures. I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I1 I 3 I 2.0 THE GEOGRAPHIC PATTERN OF SETTLEMENT 1788 - 1988 I Within this section the chronological periods of settlement, defined in the historical analysis, are considered in terms of a geographic pattern. This analysis determines where the earliest impact of the I built environment has occurred and where successive phases of activity have developed. The site types associated with this pattern are discussed in the I succeeding section. The historical phases used in this discussion are as I follows: Phase I: 1788 - 1880 I Settlement and Consolidation Phase II: 1880 - 1920 The Influence of the Real Estate Ventures I -A Resort for the Wealthy Phase Ill: 1920 - 1950 I Holiday and Recreation Phase IV: 1950 - 1988 I A Commuter Suburb - Exclusivity I I I I I I I I I I ----------_.~.. _-_. --- I I 4 I 2.1 PHASE I: 1788 - 1880 I SETTLEMENT AND CONSOLIDATION The study area was discovered and initially explored during the earliest months of European settlement in I Australia. However it was not settled until some years later, the beginning of the nineteenth century. Earliest settlement appears to have begun I in the northern portion of the study area, to take advantage of the Hawkesbury River/Green Hills trade. At least one farmer was located at Barrenjoey by 1808. Soon after, settlement had spread to the I southern portions of the study area and Scotland Island. I All early settlement was defined by the constraints of the landscape. Steep slopes and small areas of arable soil limited agrarian based settlement to the lower slopes which could be cleared for farming and I grazing. Exploitation of the natural resources also played a factor in the pattern of early settlement. For example, Thompson's holdings on Scotland Island I exploited the maritime surroundings to establish a boat-building business and salt works. Until the later years of the century the I inter-related problems of topography and transportation precluded intensive settlement in the district. Large grants were made, for example I Napper's and Therry's which, when combined, encompassed most of the Barrenjoey Peninsula. But settlement on these was sparse. In 1861 it was said of the district that "farms were few and far I between" . By the later years of this phase settlement, along I with communications, had spread out and improved. Land in Mona Vale,'McCarrs Creek, Lovatt Bay and Church Point was settled in small, isolated pockets. I Roads had been established, steamers took people to Newport and a post office and telegram station had been established. However, the distance, difficulty of access, lawlessness and uncertainty of the I district combined to retard settlement and confine it to those small pockets of agriculture established during the early years of the phase and the tiny I proto-urban centres established during the latter. I I I 'I I ~--~- ---------------------------------~--------- I 5 I 2.2 PHASE II: 1880 - 1920 I THE INFLUENCE OF THE REAL ESTATE VENTURES - A RESORT FOR THE WEALTHY I During the last decades of the nineteenth century more land on the peninsula was developed for settlement but population still remained low I density. Additional land at McCarrs Creek, Towlers Bay, Lovatt Bay and Church Point (all established areas of settlement) was granted .and large estates I were surveyed and offered for sale at Careel Bay and Bay View. Earlier grants, including Therry's and Napper's, were sold and subdivided. I However, the problems of communication experienced during the preceding phase continued to hamper intensive settlement. Only at places where regular I transportation was available, primarily Newport, did some form of development take place and this remained low key as visitation was seasonal. I. At the turn of the century it could be said that the greater areas of settlement were towards the southern portion of the study area. The slight I growth here was encouraged by the tourist trade and the availability of transport for local residents. During the early years of the twentieth century this I situation was nearly reversed. The land speculation of these years at first focused on the northern area around Palm Beach. After a slow start land sales I escalated and houses and cottages for the wealthy were developed on places such as Sunrise Hill and "Pill Hill". But land in this location was, at that time, only for the wealthy through a combination of I circumstances mainly devolving, again, on the restrictions of transportation. The resultant settlement, therefore, while luxurious, remained I spaciously arranged. Following the success of the speculation at Palm Beach later sales encompassed land further south I along the peninsula; Whale beach, Newport, Mona Vale and Church Point. A similar socio-economic and spatial pattern of development occurred in these I subdivisions. A feature of this phase of development was the move away from the lower slopes to the steeper areas where spectacular views could be I exploited of the Ocean and Pittwater. By the end of this phase settlement in the peninsula I had escalated and moved out of the confines of I I I I 6 I nineteenth century development. Land over most of the study area was alienated and development occurred higher on the plateaux than had been I feasible for earlier settlers. However the constraints imposed by the terrain and transport ensured that, while settlement was more widespread than in the preceding phase, it was selective and I still relatively low key. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 7 I 2.3 PHASE III: 1920 - 1950 I HOLIDAY AND RECREATION The developments of this phase changed the direction of development within the study area and opened up I new areas of land for more intensive settlement.

  • Macrobrachium Intermedium in Southeastern Australia: Spatial Heterogeneity and the Effects of Species of Seagrass
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 75: 239-249, 1991 Published September 11 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Demographic patterns of the palaemonid prawn Macrobrachium intermedium in southeastern Australia: spatial heterogeneity and the effects of species of seagrass Charles A. Gray* School of Biological Sciences, University of Sydney, 2006, NSW. Australia ABSTRACT. The effects of species of seagrass (Zostera capricorni and Posidonia australis) on spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the demography of estuarine populations of the palaemonid prawn Macrobrachium intermedium across 65 km of the Sydney region, southeastern Australia, were examined. Three estuaries were sampled in 1983 and 1984 to assess the magnitude of intra- and inter- estuary variability in demographic characteristics among populations. Species of seagrass had no effect on the demographic patterns of populations: differences in the magnitude and directions of change in abundances, recruitment, reproductive characteristics, size structures and growth were as great among populations within each species of seagrass as those between the 2 seagrasses Abiotic factors, such as the location of a meadow in relation to depth of water and distance offshore, and the interactions of these factors with recruiting larvae are hypothesised to have greater influence than the species of seagrass in determining the distribution and abundance of these prawns. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in demography was similar across all spatial scales sampled: among meadows (50 m to 3 km apart) in an estuary and among meadows in all 3 estuaries (10 to 65 km apart). Variability in demographic processes among populations in the Sydney region was most likely due to stochastic factors extrinsic to the seagrasses then~selves.I conclude that the demography of seagrass-dwelling estuarine populations of M.

    1 Pittwater Nature Issue 4 February 2021 News and stories from Bushcarers, Wildlife carers, Community and home gardens The Pittwater River and the Barrenjoey Tombolo We hear a lot about Climate Change and Sea Level Rise. How could this affect our coast- line? It’s happened before. If we’d come here during the last Ice Age, we wouldn’t recognise the place at all. About 14 000 years ago, the Pacific coastline was about 20km further east. Our beaches, so familiar today, did not exist. From today’s Palm Beach, you’d be going a long way downhill for a surf. And you’d need a thick wetsuit. But that landscape would have been familiar to Aboriginal people. When the sea level was lower, streams flowed fast- er and eroded bedrock in river channels. The Hawkesbury River has a huge catchment. Its fast flow eroded the old Pleistocene bedrock channel between Barrenjoey and Box Head so that it is about 125 metres below the present sea level. Seismic investigations of bedrock drainage patterns in Pittwater contained a surprise, for this waterway which now widens out to merge into Broken Bay did not join the ancient Hawkesbury River drainage channels to enter the sea north of Barrenjoey until very recent times, geologically speaking. Our coast 14 000 years ago. The old channel etched into the bedrock under From: The Nature of Hidden Worlds. Mary White Pittwater showed that it was a steep-sided V- shaped valley, parallel to the coast, and deepening steadily towards the north. Off West Head the channel swings abruptly eastward and heads for the ocean across bedrock between Barrenjoey and Palm Beach where the bedrock is at 76 metres below sea level.
