  • Customer Service Advice from Telstra
    Customer Service Advice from Telstra Delay due to fire in East Gippsland and parts of West and South Gippsland and North East districts of Victoria, and the South Coast, Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes districts of New South Wales. East Gippsland and parts of West and South Gippsland and North East districts of Victoria, and the South Coast, Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes districts of New South Wales have been impacted by bushfires from November 2019 are ongoing as at January 2020. These events have resulted in extensive damage to Telstra’s telecommunications network. In some cases, unsafe conditions and road closures are preventing us from reaching these locations but we will attend as soon as these areas are deemed safe. As a result, an interruption to Telstra’s normal operations has occurred leading to delays in installation and repair activities. As many as 750 Telstra services are impacted in the following multiple geographic areas bounded by and including, but not limited to, the area starting at Tilba Tilba, the area then travels south following the coast line crossing the NSW/VIC border to Mallacoota, and continues past Lakes Entrance to Flamingo Beach. At Flamingo Beach the area turns northwest past East Sale, Myrtlebank, Walhalla to Icy Creek. At Icy Creek, the area continues northwest to Eildon and north to Bonnie Doon, then northeast past Swanpool, Glenrowan onto Tallangatta. Continuing northwest from Tallangatta to Talgarno and crossing the VIC/NSW border to Woomargama and onto Rosewood. At Rosewood, the area travels north to Tarcutta, northwest to Tumblong, then southeast past Bombowlee to Shannons Flat.

  • Customer Service Advice from Telstra
    CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVICE FROM TELSTRA. Extreme Weather events impact service in South Coast and Snowy Mountain Districts of New South Wales & Victoria Telstra is working to manage the significant impact to Telstra services that has occurred as a result of a series of extreme weather events in the South Coast and Snowy Mountain region of NSW and Victoria on or about Friday 10 February 2012. Due to the effect of damage to the Telstra telecommunications network by extreme weather conditions, there has been a significant increase in the number of Telstra services being reported as faulty. As a result, there has been some disruption to service and delays to normal installation and repair activities. Telstra apologises to any affected customers. Information as to the nature of these severe weather events can be sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). Heavy rain fall, thunderstorms and flash flooding are referred to in the BOM Severe Weather Warning issued for 10 February 2012 initially at 3:50 pm EDT on Friday 10 February 2012; all of which were widely reported in the news media after the events. Telstra has identified that the effect of these circumstances may apply to approximately 200 services. Some of these services may not be installed or repaired within Telstra’s standard time frames. The number of possibly affected services may increase or decrease as Telstra assesses the full effect of the extreme weather conditions. Based on current information, the resumption date of Telstra’s normal service operations is expected to be 24 February 2012. This date is indicative only, however, and may be subject to change once the full impact of the extreme weather conditions has been assessed.

  • Snowy 2.0 Update - Exploratory Works Underway
    6/23/2021 All systems go - latest news from Snowy Hydro Snowy 2.0 update - Exploratory Works underway The Snowy 2.0 Exploratory Works are well underway and there has been plenty of progress on the project. Roads contractor Leed Engineering and Construction has forged ahead with upgrades to Lobs Hole Ravine Road, despite some periods of wild winter weather, and these are due to be completed by the end of the year. A temporary pedestrian bridge is also being installed across Wallace Creek to enable our principal contractor Future Generation access to the exploratory tunnel portal site. When access is completed, the first tunnel construction will get underway with drill and blast methodology. This exploratory tunnel will allow further geological investigations to be carried out at the underground cavern location, with horizontal core hole drilling conducted in-situ. This work is very important as it provides us with information needed to finalise the technical design of the power station cavern, which will be located hundreds of metres below ground. Construction of the first workers’ accommodation camp is due to start in coming months and should be finished early next year. Initially, during the Exploratory Works phase, the accommodation units will be home to around 150 people. Each single bedroom unit will contain an ensuite, bed, desk, television, small refrigerator and reverse-cycle air conditioner. The Exploratory Camp will also have a gym, recreational facilities, dining area and kitchen. Given the project’s location in the Snowy Mountains, all of these buildings are built to withstand up to three metres of snow! Snowy Hydro hosted its latest round of community consultations in July and August, with staff from Future Generation also attending.

  • 2. Boboyan Hydrogeological Landscape
    2. Boboyan Hydrogeological Landscape Boboyan Road, Namadgi National LOCALITIES Park, Shannons Flat Low Low Land Salt Load Salinity (in-stream) Tantangara 1:100 000 MAP SHEET Michelago 1:100 000 Low EC (in-stream) CONFIDENCE LEVEL Moderate OVERVIEW The Boboyan Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) in Namadgi National Park extends either side of Boboyan Road from Orroral Road to near Shannons Flat on the edge on the ACT (Figure 1). The HGL covers an area of 65 km2 and receives 650 to 1000 mm of rain per annum. Figure 1: Boboyan HGL distribution map. Boboyan HGL is characterised by soil landscapes and geology of the highly deformed Ordovician Adaminaby Group. The area is steep and heavily vegetated in most locations, with some cleared old grazing areas within the national park (Figure 2). The area has some minor wetlands, with water movement recharging shallow groundwater with through flow components on side slopes. Erosion is an issue in gullies, and there is a sodic A2 horizon. Dispersion and tunnelling in A2 and B horizons is a common feature of the landscape when disturbed. This landscape is different from other Ordovician Adaminaby Group landscapes in that it is heavily timbered and steep, with little salinity potential. Figure 2: Conceptual cross-section for Boboyan HGL showing the distribution of regolith and landforms, salt sites if present, and flow paths of water infiltrating the system. Evidence of salinity is not observed in this HGL (Table 1). Table 1: Boboyan HGL salinity expression. SALINITY EXPRESSION Land Salinity Low – no evidence of salinity (Occurrence) Salt Load Low – net dilution landscape (Export) EC Low – fresh water (Water Quality) Salt store refers to the amount of salt stored in soil and geology materials.

  • THE BRIGADE BULLETIN~ No
    ~ THE BRIGADE BULLETIN~ No. 3, 24 October 2013 An occasional newsletter from the Michelago Rural Fire Brigade Picton Road (Photo: Keith Howker) Page 1 of 8 Michelago Brigade Bulletin 3 24 October 2013 Monaro Strike Team to NSW emergency This team of five trucks left at 7 am Friday 18 October to drive to Mittagong to be tasked and then to work on strengthening containment lines at the Hall Road Fire in the forested areas of the Sydney catchment, near Yerrinbool. The Strike Team Leader was Clunie Fraser, the Shannons Flat Captain. Michelago’s crew, on Michelago 7 Alpha, was Alex Milovanovic, Derek Giucci and Will Stone, and Keith Howker travelled with a Cooma crew. There were also members of Smiths Road brigade. Other trucks were Colinton 7 Charlie (Andrew Brebec, Nick Goldie, Kim Templeton), Berridale 2 and Dalgety 7. Photos: Keith Howker They worked a double shift on the first night and were due to return on Sunday, but stayed for that day also, due to the continuing crisis conditions. OH&S mandates a maximum of three consecutive 12-hour shifts, but the team worked four—fires don’t clock off. At 5 pm on Saturday 19 October, this fire had burnt 8,000 hectares. At midday Sunday, it was 12,500 hectares. The NSW RFS has kept the Michelago 7 Alpha and Colinton 7 Charlie for now, for relieving crews to use, and sent their crews home in a chartered bus. There’ll be a new Monaro Strike Team next week. Page 2 of 8 Michelago Brigade Bulletin 3 24 October 2013 Photo: Keith Howker Michelago Captain on FM 104.7 Brent was interviewed on Friday 18/10 about the composition and function of the Strike Team.
