No other technology allows for the visualisation of an emergency or disaster situation as effectively as GIS. By capturing the accurate physical location of an event in a GIS environment – and aligning other relevant features, events, conditions or threats with that geography – emergency managers are armed with ‘real time’ information about the situation at hand.

    MAGISTRATES COURT of TASMANIA CORONIAL DIVISION Record of Investigation into Death (Without Inquest) Coroners Act 1995 Coroners Rules 2006 Rule 11 I, Simon Cooper, Coroner, having investigated the death of Donald Joseph Marshall Find That: a) The identity of the deceased is Donald Joseph Marshall; b) Mr Marshall died in the circumstances set out further in this finding; c) Mr Marshall died of a gunshot wound to the head; d) Mr Marshall died on 4 June 2013 at Badger Island, Bass Straight in Tasmania; and e) Mr Marshall was born in Wellington, New Zealand on 17 April 1935 and was 78 years of age at the time of his death; he was a married but separated man who was a retired painter and decorator. Background: Donald Joseph Marshall was born in Wellington, New Zealand on 17 April 1935. In 1957 he moved to Sydney, New South Wales where he started work as a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In 1966 he met and married Kerry in Denmark, Western Australia. He and his wife separated in 1985 but before then had two sons and a daughter. Mr Marshall worked at that time as a whaler out of Albany in Western Australia, and when that industry closed in 1978 he returned to his original occupation of a painter. In 1985 Mr Marshall started on a lifestyle that continued for the rest of his life. He put to sea in a boat called ‘Cimba’ and for the next five years sailed around Australia. He sold ‘Cimba’ and bought in turn the yachts ‘Nomad’ and ‘Aspro 11’.

  • The Limestone Resources and General Geology and Geomorphology of Flinders Island Contents
    ,\~iRtlN~ o,rC,Qsv!84-/30 THE LIMESTONE RESOURCES AND GENERAL GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY OF FLINDERS ISLAND CONTENTS s The Limestone Resources and General Geology and Geomorphology of Flinders Island INTRODUCTION The purpose of the investigation was to make a geological survey of the limestone resources of Flinders Island, ~h particular attention to their economic possibilities, as part of a general description of the limestone resources of Tasmania. To this end, the Island was adequately . covered, and the principal limestone deposits delineated and contoured on a scale of four inches to the mile, with a fifty foot contour interval. The four inch maps (maps 3 - 7) show practically the whole of the western side of the Island, where the main workable deposits of limestone occur; but no attempt was made to contour those parts known to consist wholly of rocks other than limestone as this was beyond the scope of the investigation; nevertheless, those areas had also to be examined sufficiently to eliminate them as possible producers of limestone, because outcrops of that rock were possible in all parts of the Island wherever Kainozoic and Post Kainozoic Strata were to be found. The base map was sheets 1, 2, 3, and ~ of the map of the Furneaux Group, on a scale of two inches to the mile, issued by the Surveyor General's office, Hobart, and showing the boundaries of the original purchases from the Crown, as well as some natural and other features. Chain, compass and clinometer traverses were run to established pOints, and traverses were checked by taking vertical and horizontal angles with director, at major stations.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

  • Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the Nine Teenth Century—Population and Land
    ‘I hope you will be my frend’: Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the nine­ teenth century—population and land tenure Irynej Skira Abstract This paper traces the history of settlement of the islands of the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait and the effects of government regulation on the long term settlements of Tasma­ nian Aboriginal people from the 1850s to the early 1900s. Throughout the nineteenth century the Aboriginal population grew slowly eventually constituting approximately 40 percent of the total population of the Furneaux Group. From the 1860s outsiders used the existing land title system to obtain possession of the islands. Aborigines tried to establish tenure through the same system, but could not compete because they lacked capital, and were disadvantaged by isolation in their communication with gov­ ernment. Further, the islands' use for grazing excluded Aborigines who rarely had large herds of stock and were generally not agriculturalists. The majority of Aborigines were forced to settle on Cape Barren Island, where they built homes on a reserve set aside for them. European expansion of settlement on Flinders Island finally completed the disen­ franchisement of Aboriginal people by making the Cape Barren Island enclave depend­ ent on the government. Introduction In December 1869 Thomas Mansell, an Aboriginal, applied to lease a small island. He petitioned the Surveyor-General, T hope you will be my Frend...I am one of old hands Her, and haf Cast and have large family and no hum'.1 Unfortunately, he could not raise £1 as down payment. Mansell's was one of the many attempts by Aboriginal people in the Furneaux Group to obtain valid leasehold or freehold and recognition of their long term occupation.
