    Gold in Central Queensland

    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

  • Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers

    Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers

    Northern Australia Climate Program CLIMATE SAVVY FOR GRAZING MANAGEMENT Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers What: ENSO has two active phases, El Niño and La Niña, and an inactive or neutral phase. When: Any time between June (start) to April (end). Main impacts of ENSO are usually from December to March. Events Madden-Julian Oscillation can span multiple years, which is more common with La Niña events. Where: Entire region, but increased impacts more likely near coast. What: A large band of clouds that influence alternating wet/dry conditions during the wet/summer season. The MJO can increase the availability of moisture in the area during an MJO ‘wet’ phase, leading to an increased chance of rain. How: El Niño tends to cause warmer days and less rainfall, fewer cyclones, and increase risk of spring frosts due to clear nights. La Niña tends to cause wetter weather, increased humidity, and an increased risk of cyclones and flooding. When: Year-round, but mainly during wet season (December to April). Day time temperatures are usually lower due to cloud cover. Where: Mostly in the tropics, but influence can extend into sub-tropics. Prediction lead time: How: Impact varies by season and location. About 2-3 months for a more reliable forecast, up to 6 months in advance for an indication of a possible ENSO event. We start looking for a possible ENSO event in April/May, but become more confident in the forecast in June/July. Period Wet Phases Dry Phases Note: There is a ‘prediction gap’ from about January to April when it is very difficult to know whether or not an June, July, August (minimal impact) 4 7 ENSO will develop in the coming winter.

Nick Scully Principal St Brendan’s College I am shortly leaving St Brendan’s as Principal, but would like to leave you with a challenge in the form of a Christmas wish. I’m not sure whether I will offend anyone. I hope not and I apologise if I do. I guess I can get away with it because I am leaving to go back to Melbourne as Principal of Kolbe Catholic College, Greenvale Lakes. While it does feel quite distant, Christmas Day will be upon us very soon. I ask you to visualise a Nativity scene. We may pull a set out of a box each year and place it under a Christmas tree. With this image in our minds, here is my Christmas wish: God’s Son could have arrived in power, glory and wealth; instead he came in weakness, vulnerability and poverty. By coming in weakness, he made us aware of our own power. By coming in poverty, he made us aware of our own richness. This is the great paradox and we celebrate the same paradox at Easter by coming to new life through suffering and death. Part of the paradox is that the God who’s born into our world at Christmas is always being born into a world that doesn’t have room for him; into our crazy world he has come uninvited. Because he’s so much out of place, even though he must be here, his place is with those others for whom there is no room.
