Science ACSSU153, ACSHE136, ACSHE227 Background Information John Campbell Miles was the prospector and pastoral worker who discovered the mineral deposits that established the famous Mount Isa Mine. Born in Melbourne in 1883, Miles had a restless and adventurous spirit. As a boy, he ran away from school, initially to work with a bootmaker, but soon moved on, taking up a number of jobs in quick succession, including as a ploughman, miner, carter, railway navvy, wild-pig hunter and windmill repairer. In 1907, at age 24, Miles rode his bicycle 1,500 miles (2,414 kms) from Broken Hill to the Oaks goldfield in north Queensland. His time there, though short and uneventful, would inadvertently lead to his discovery of Australia’s greatest mine of the 20th century. On leaving the Oaks, Miles worked as a farm labourer and spent the next decade drifting from station to station, continuing to fossick to supplement his income. In 1921, he decided to follow up on stories he had heard about gold on a cattle trail in the Northern Territory. Slowly travelling west he reached Camooweal where he met William Simpson of the Native Bee mine, who later became his partner – it was February 1923. Miles’ next camp was on the Leichhardt River where he prospected dark, mineralised samples before striking the Black Star lode. During this fossick Miles discovered the rich central lodes that would become the Mount Isa mineral field: the Black Star; Racecourse and Rio Grande. The find inspired a prospecting boom in the area. Among the new arrivals was William Corbould who, in January 1924, floated Mount Isa Mines Limited. Simpson and Miles each received 500 shares worth nearly £330,000. Sadly, Simpson was accidently killed only a few days later, while Miles continued to prospect in the area for another year. Unable to settle down, Miles maintained his wandering lifestyle and gradually sold his shares. By 1933 he no longer held interests Mount Isa in Mount Isa Mines. Miles died in 1965 and his ashes are buried miner, Mount in under a memorial clock tower in Miles Street, Mount Isa.

Outback TV Background To a significant extent the Australian outback was opened up and developed through self reliance and homesteads and communities helping each other. It is no surprise then that the same happened with the development of free-to-air television reception in the outback. In the years since the first Aussat analogue satellite free-to-air TV services launched in 1985 to be replaced by the Aurora digital satellite platform in 1997 some 460 community groups pooled local resources and developed so called self-help analog TV transmission facilities to terrestrially retransmit the free-to-air TV channels that were available from the satellite. Including the regional and metropolitan areas of Australia there are around 700 self-help analog television sites in Australia operating in the order of 2,800 analog transmitters or roughly 50% to 60% more than those operated by all the commercial free-to-air broadcasters and the ABC and SBS put together. It is therefore somewhat ironic and bewildering that a new free-to-air digital satellite platform called VAST was developed between January 2009 and March 2010 by the broadcasters, DBCDE and Optus that no one thought to consult anyone of those 700 self-help analog television licensees.

  • Basin Inversion and Structural Architecture As Constraints on Fluid Flow and Pb-Zn Mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic S

CC BY 4.0 License. 1 Basin inversion and structural architecture as constraints on fluid 2 flow and Pb-Zn mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic 3 sedimentary sequences of northern Australia 4 5 George M. Gibson, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 6 2601, Australia 7 Sally Edwards, Geological Survey of Queensland, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 8 Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia 9 Abstract 10 As host to several world-class sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits and unknown quantities of conventional and 11 unconventional gas, the variably inverted 1730-1640 Ma Calvert and 1640-1580 Ma Isa superbasins of 12 northern Australia have been the subject of numerous seismic reflection studies with a view to better 13 understanding basin architecture and fluid migration pathways. Strikingly similar structural architecture 14 has been reported from much younger inverted sedimentary basins considered prospective for oil and gas 15 elsewhere in the world. Such similarities suggest that the mineral and petroleum systems in Paleo- 16 Mesoproterozoic northern Australia may have spatially and temporally overlapped consistent with the 17 observation that basinal sequences hosting Pb-Zn mineralisation in northern Australia are bituminous or 18 abnormally enriched in hydrocarbons. This points to the possibility of a common tectonic driver and shared 19 fluid pathways. Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn mineralisation coeval with basin inversion first occurred during the 20 1650-1640 Ma Riversleigh Tectonic Event towards the close of the Calvert Superbasin with further pulses 21 accompanying the 1620-1580 Ma Isa Orogeny which brought about closure of the Isa Superbasin.

  • Black, White & Gold
    8 New Ground all golden country but very poor Three months after Clark was killed, William Simpson, eight other miners and twenty-two Taupota carriers returned to prospect the ‘likely looking’ country they had seen on the upper Mambare. From ‘Clark’s Fort’, a log hut about 12 miles upstream from Tamata, the miners cut a track south to a point high above the western bank of the Mambare where they built ‘Simpson’s Store’. Using the store as a base, the miners spent five months cutting tracks and testing the creeks feeding the Mambare. They prospected the Chirima, the main tributary coming in from the west, and followed the Mambare beyond the Chirima junction into the lower Yodda Valley. The track from Clark’s Fort to the Chirima junction crossed no land much above 2000 feet, but it was a hard walk with many creek crossings, thick undergrowth and cliffs which had to be climbed with the aid of vines and makeshift ladders. John Green took only thirteen days to travel from Tamata to the junction and back, but at the end he threw away the new boots he had put on at the start. After MacGregor had seen the prospectors’ tracks he wrote that they had carried out ‘by far the most arduous undertaking ever performed by any private exploring party in the colony’. When the miners came down the river in January 1896 they had 46 ounces of gold. The upper Mambare, Simpson reported, was ‘all golden country, but very poor’. Beyond the Chirima junction they had prospected one creek which, they thought, might be profitable.

Photo NPRSR Camooweal Caves National Park Management Statement 2013 Vision The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), in conjunction with the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu people, the Traditional Owners of the area, aim to restore and protect the natural and cultural values and to provide safe sustainable, nature based recreation and commercial tourism opportunities. Conservation purpose Camooweal Caves National Park of 13,800ha was initially gazetted on 23 January 1988 under the National Park and Wildlife Act 1975. It is approximately 24km south of Camooweal in north-western Queensland and 188km north-west of the city of Mount Isa and 14km east of the Northern Territory border. Camooweal Caves National Park is important for the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People who have dreamtime legends associated with the area, in particular the waterholes, rivers, sinkholes and caves. The Camooweal Caves are extensive cavern systems developed beneath the flat surface of the Barkly Tableland in the vicinity of Camooweal township. The park was established to provide representation of these more broadly occurring geological features.
