  • Ozsky 2020: Suggested Day Trips, Activities, Guides and Driving
    In keeping with our aim of offering the greatest flexibility for all travellers, we don't make bookings for the suggested trips in Sydney, but merely offer a small list of suggestions of what might be of interest to you during your stay in Sydney. The day trips in and around Coonabarabran are also kept reasonably flexible, however firm bookings may be made for some trips, such as any private "inside tours" of observatories, where available. • Sydney Harbour Ferry trip from Circular Quay to Given that most folks visiting OzSky generally stay up until Manly on the commuter ferry (much better than a the early hours of the morning observing, most of the dedicated Harbour Cruise!) optional day trips or activities will be planned to start • The Australian Reptile Park after midday, however some may require an earlier departure based on availability of bookings etc. • Taronga Zoo (also via ferry) • Bondi Beach Afternoon lectures and presentations are often enjoyed • Manly Beach on topics including general astronomy, prime observing • Palm Beach targets, Australian flora and fauna, geology aboriginal culture and more. • Royal Botanical Gardens • City Highlights Half-Day Tours Various day-hikes in the Warrumbungles National Park • Guided / Unguided Tours of the Old Sydney and Pilliga State Forest are also available for all fitness Observatory levels. It should be noted, however, that the region • SCUBA diving around Sydney suffered extreme bushfires back in January 2013 and while many of the popular hikes and tourism areas have • Sydney Aquarium been re-opened, many still show the impact of those • WildLife Sydney Zoo devastating bushfires, even today.

  • Weeds Situation Statement for North West NSW
    5th December 2013 Submission detailing our concerns relating to weed threats and current weed management in the North West and Northern Tablelands of NSW. Weeds Situation Statement for North West NSW My name is Phil Spark I write this submission on behalf of the Northern Inland Council for the Environment Inc (NICE). I am the present President of NICE and a member of the Invasive Species Council. I have sat on the Namoi CMA invasive species reference group for a number of years, I have been a property owner for 35 years, and I have worked as an ecologist for seventeen years throughout the North West and Northern Tablelands. I see the weed situation from all perspectives and what I see concerns me greatly as the majority of serious weeds are not being controlled, in fact most have been put in the too hard basket. I have contributed to all of the previous reviews, and yes I am sceptical that this review will be any different, but I desperately live in hope it will be. Attached are previous submissions that identify the same problems and contain similar recommendations which have resulted in no change. Having read your online review, it seems you are well aware of most of the problems, and you just need support to make the changes necessary. As I see it there are four fundamental problems preventing effective weed management; • lack of funds for staff, projects, incentives and subsidies • lack of regulation and law enforcement to gives weeds the priority they require, need legally binding responsibilities for all involved in weed management • lack of regulation to enforce control of environmental weeds • lack of weed reporting to convey the seriousness of the current situation I recommend to this review committee that they don’t limit themselves to a desktop assessment of the situation, but come out into the field and see for 1 themselves what is happening with weeds.

In 1987 a female adult skeleton with a small child was found near Dubbo, NSW, during the course of landscape gardening. Although the burials were disturbed by the landscaping work, artefacts found at the time can be associated with the burials. The presence of certain artefacts raises questions concerning the status of the female, and the cause of her death. WITTER, D., R. FULLAGAR & c. PARDOE, 1993.

Email [email protected]. 2 Ecological Australia Pty Ltd. 35 Orlando St, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450 AUSTRALIA 3AECOM, Level 45, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne, VICTORIA 3000 AUSTRALIA Abstract: This fourth paper in the NSW Vegetation Classification and Assessment series covers the Brigalow Belt South (BBS) and Nandewar (NAN) Bioregions and the western half of the New England Bioregion (NET), an area of 9.3 million hectares being 11.6% of NSW. It completes the NSWVCA coverage for the Border Rivers-Gwydir and Namoi CMA areas and records plant communities in the Central West and Hunter–Central Rivers CMA areas. In total, 585 plant communities are now classified in the NSWVCA covering 11.5 of the 18 Bioregions in NSW (78% of the State). Of these 226 communities are in the NSW Western Plains and 416 are in the NSW Western Slopes. 315 plant communities are classified in the BBS, NAN and west-NET Bioregions including 267 new descriptions since Version 2 was published in 2008. Descriptions of the 315 communities are provided in a 919 page report on the DVD accompanying this paper along with updated reports on other inland NSW bioregions and nine Catchment Management Authority areas fully or partly classified in the NSWVCA to date.

  • A Broad Typology of Dry Rainforests on the Western Slopes of New South Wales
    A broad typology of dry rainforests on the western slopes of New South Wales Timothy J. Curran1,2, Peter J. Clarke1, and Jeremy J. Bruhl 1 1 Botany, Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. 2 Author for correspondence. Current address: The School for Field Studies, Centre for Rainforest Studies, PO Box 141, Yungaburra, Queensland 4884, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] & [email protected] Abstract: Dry rainforests are those communities that have floristic and structural affinities to mesic rainforests and occur in parts of eastern and northern Australia where rainfall is comparatively low and often highly seasonal. The dry rainforests of the western slopes of New South Wales are poorly-understood compared to other dry rainforests in Australia, due to a lack of regional scale studies. This paper attempts to redress this by deriving a broad floristic and structural typology for this vegetation type. Phytogeographical analysis followed full floristic surveys conducted on 400 m2 plots located within dry rainforest across the western slopes of NSW. Cluster analysis and ordination of 208 plots identified six floristic groups. Unlike in some other regional studies of dry rainforest these groups were readily assigned to Webb structural types, based on leaf size classes, leaf retention classes and canopy height. Five community types were described using both floristic and structural data: 1)Ficus rubiginosa–Notelaea microcarpa notophyll vine thicket, 2) Ficus rubiginosa–Alectryon subcinereus–Notelaea microcarpa notophyll vine forest, 3) Elaeodendron australe–Notelaea microcarpa–Geijera parviflora notophyll vine thicket, 4) Notelaea microcarpa– Geijera parviflora–Ehretia membranifolia semi-evergreen vine thicket, and 5) Cadellia pentastylis low microphyll vine forest.
