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.

Restoration of Noosa Estuary
Ecological Service Professionals Sustainable Science Solutions Restoration of Noosa Estuary An Assessment of Oyster Recruitment Prepared by The Nature Conservancy & Ecological Service Professionals July 2015 Document Control Report Title: Restoration of Noosa Estuary: An Assessment of Oyster Recruitment Provider: The Nature Conservancy Contact: Edward Game [email protected] Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without financial assistance from Noosa Shire Council and The Thomas Foundation. Important support was also provided by the Noosa Parks Association, in particular, we thank Brian Walsh who provided his vessel, skippered us safely around the estuary and provided such great company and assistance each day we ventured out in the field. The Walkers provided use of their jetty in Noosa Sound to suspend tiles, which was greatly appreciated. Executive Summary With the support of the Noosa Shire Council and The Thomas Foundation, The Nature Conservancy undertook an assessment of oyster recruitment in the Noosa Estuary. This assessment is a critical piece of information to inform the viability and design or future oyster reef restoration projects in the estuary. This report presents the findings of the assessment, which involved deploying over 160 settlement tiles (10 cm x 10 cm squares made from fibrous cement sheet) for periods of up to 5 months between December 2014 and June 2015. Settlement tiles were deployed at seven intertidal (0.1 m above low water mark) and five subtidal sites (typically 1 m below the surface) around the Noosa River Estuary. Key findings from the analysis of these settlement tiles are: Oysters recruited in moderate numbers at nearly all sites, with the highest observed recruitment occurring in Weyba Creek, the main channel around Tewantin, and in the narrow channel between Goat Island and Noosa North Shore. -
