Forty-one (41) previously described species have been re-examined and illustrated with supplementary descriptions. New collection records combined with the published literature revealed 196 records of 83 species in 21 genera, collected from 41 localities (including 11 karst areas).

  • Part-3---A-Review-Of-The-Geoconservation-Values-Of-The-Tasmanian-WWHA.Pdf
    Recommendations and Issues Arising 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS & ISSUES ARISING 4.1 Introduction This final section briefly draws out conclusions arising from the descriptions and discussions of the World Heritage geoconservation values of the TWWHA that have been provided in Section (3.0). In most cases, issues are only briefly highlighted or dot-pointed in this section, so as to provide a simple "check list" of key issues arising. Section (3.0) (and references therein) should be referred to for background details of the various issues and recommendations listed here. 4.2 Recommended Additions to the TWWHA Based on Geoconservation Values, and Areas for Further Consideration All of the 21 new reserves adjoining the TWWHA, as listed and described in Section (3.3) above, contain features or systems contributing substantially to one of more of the recognised TWWHA World Heritage geodiversity themes (see Section 3.3), and hence they are all recommended for inclusion in an extended Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) boundary on this basis. It is additionally recommended that the Hastings Caves State Reserve – which immediately adjoins the Hastings Cave reserve extension that is one of the 21 new reserves recommended for inclusion in the TWWHA - be also incorporated within the TWWHA boundary owing to its possession of dolomite karst systems that are physically continuous with, as well-developed, and more accessible than those contributing to the Karst World Heritage geoconservation themes within the existing (and now contiguous) Southwest National Park / TWWHA (see Section 3.4). Significantly, this proposal would also add an important ongoing hydrothermal karst system to the TWWHA (see Section 3.4), which is a karst process that is at present poorly represented within the TWWHA, yet is an important element of Tasmania's karst geodiversity.

  • The Distribution and Occurrence of Zeolites in Tasmania
    The Distribution and Occurrence of Zeolites in Tasmania Steve Sorrell April, 2003 The Distribution and Occurrence of Zeolites in Tasmania 1. Introduction Zeolites are a large group of minerals exhibiting similar general characteristics and properties. Characteristics of zeolites include the potential for low-temperature dehydration, and the ability to readily absorb other molecules, resulting in zeolites being utilised in industrial activities. The International Mineralogical Association Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names have recently published a report that redefines the nomenclature for zeolite minerals (Coombs et al, 1997). This redefinition has resulted in around 90 mineral species being included within the zeolite group, a significant increase. In some cases, it has also caused some difficulty for collectors in naming their specimens, particularly the revised approach to what are now referred to as “compositional series” (eg: chabazite series now contains chabazite-Ca, chabazite-Na, etc, based on the dominant cation). The difficulty arises from the need to chemically test specimens (XRD is insufficient), and the fact that a range of “species” may occur in the one location, perhaps even on one specimen. Limited testing of Tasmanian zeolites has been carried out. In Tasmania, some 27 species of zeolites have been recorded. This publication is aimed at beginners and serious collectors of Tasmanian zeolites and contains a comprehensive report of all known localities and the species recorded from each. Photographs have been included wherever possible to aid in the identification of specimens found by collectors. Some sites are worked out or otherwise off-limits to collectors. Where this information is known, it is included in the text.

There are many localities within Tasmania where interesting lapidary and mineralogical material may be found, some of the best of these areas have been set aside for the use of fossickers. The areas defined in this booklet have been declared official Fossicking Areas under the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995. Under some circumstances, Fossicking Areas may be included within the boundaries of an Exploration Licence. Fossicking beyond the boundaries of the Fossicking Areas in this booklet will require a prospecting licence, which can be obtained from Mineral Resources Tasmania for a fee. Fossicking areas extend from the ground surface to a depth of two (2) metres. Explorers are expected to use the same prospecting methods as fossickers; i.e. no costeaning, trenching or large-scale pitting.
