Pigeon Island (Houtman-Abrolhos)

Pigeon Island ist eine kleine Insel inmitten der Wallabi Group des Archipels Houtman Abrolhos, eines Archipels vor der Küste von Western Australia. Sie ist fast komplett Fischern überlassen, die dort Australische Langusten fischen und ihre Camps auf der Insel aufgeschlagen haben. Aus diesem Grund ist die Insel stark vom Menschen geformt und kaum noch naturbelassen wie andere Inseln im Archipel. Ein nahegelegenes Eiland, das ebenfalls saisonal von Fischern bevölkert wird, heißt Little Pigeon Island; daher wird Pigeon Island oft als Big Pigeon Island bezeichnet. Geschichte Aufgrund der Lage vermutet man, dass Überlebende des Schiffsunglücks der Batavia von 1629 die Insel erreichten. Es gibt dafür aber keinerlei Nachweise. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurde auf der Insel Guano abgebaut. Geographie Pigeon Island ist grob dreieckig mit einer kurzen Seite im Südwesten und zwei langen Seiten, die im Nordosten zusammenlaufen. Die Insel ist bedeckt von Wegen und Hütten: Insgesamt gibt es 54 Camps, eine Schule und einen Pub sowie ca. 20 Bootsanleger entlang der Nordwestseite, da die Insel nur von dieser Seite angelaufen werden kann. Die Insel wird im Süden und Osten von einem Riff umschlossen, aber eine Passage, die Pigeon Island Anchorage, erstreckt sich entlang des Nordwestens. Geologie Der Untergrund von Pigeon Island besteht aus Wallabi Limestone, einem dichten, natürlich zementierten (Caliche) Korallen-Kalkstein, der eine dicke Plattform bildet, die die Wallabi Group trägt. Diese Plattform, die sehr abrupt von einem flachen Schelf aufsteigt, ist ca. 40 Meter dick und stammt aus dem Quartär. Riffe, die sich während der Eem-Warmzeit vor ca. 125.000 Jahren bildeten, als die Meeresspiegel höher lagen als heute, bilden nun den Sockel der „Central Platform“-Inseln, zu denen Pigeon Island gehört. Flora 71 Pflanzenarten wurden auf Pigeon Island gezählt, von denen 45 einheimisch und 29 eingebürgert sind: Fauna Einheimische Tiere sind der seltene Spiny-tailed Skink, die Wachtel Turnix varius scintillans (Abrolhos painted button-quail) und die Buschtaube. Hausratten (Rattus rattus) waren früher vorhanden, wurden mittlerweile jedoch ausgerottet. Menschliche Nutzung Die Houtman-Abrolhos-Inseln unterstehen komplett dem Western Australia's Minister for Fisheries zum „Schutz von Flora und Fauna, Tourismus und für Zwecke im Zusammenhang mit der Fischerei-Industrie“ (Conservation of Flora and Fauna, Tourism, and for Purposes Associated with the Fishing Industry). Pigeon Island ist eine von wenigen Inseln, die fast komplett für die Fischerei freigegeben ist. Aufgrund des Guanoabbaus und der Entwicklung der Fischerei-Infrastruktur hat die Insel kaum Schutzwürdigkeit.

Pigeon Island (Houtman Abrolhos)

Pigeon Island is a small island located near the middle of the Wallabi Group of the Houtman Abrolhos, an archipelago off the coast of Western Australia. It is almost entirely given over to western rock lobster fishers' camps, and as a result is far more disturbed than most other islands in the archipelago. A nearby island also seasonally populated by fishers is named Little Pigeon Island, hence Pigeon Island is sometimes referred to as "Big Pigeon Island". History The geographic location of Pigeon Island suggests that it might have been visited by survivors of the 1629 Batavia shipwreck, but there is no surviving evidence of this, either documentary or archaeological. It was mined for guano in the 20th century. Geography Pigeon Island is roughly triangular in shape, with a short side on the south west, and two long sides coming together at a point in the north east. The island is covered with infrastructure, with a high density of huts covering the entire island, right down to the water line; in total there are 54 camps, a school and a pub. There are also around 20 jetties, mainly along the northwest side, as this is the only direction from which the island may be approached by boat. The island is surrounded by reef to the south and east, but a passage known as Pigeon Island Anchorage runs along the northwest side. Geology and physiography The basement of Pigeon Island is the Wallabi Limestone, a dense calcretised, coral limestone platform that underlies the entire Wallabi Group. This platform, which arises abruptly from a flat shelf, is about 40 metres thick, and is of Quaternary origin. Reef that formed during the Eemian interglacial (about 125,000 years ago), when sea levels were higher than at present, are now emergent in places, and constitute the basement of the group's "central platform" islands, of which Pigeon Island is one. Flora 71 species of plant have been recorded on Pigeon Island, of which 45 are native and 29 introduced. These are: Fauna The island's fauna includes the rare spiny-tailed skink, the Abrolhos painted button-quail and the brush bronzewing. The black rat (Rattus rattus) was previously present but has been eradicated. Human uses The Houtman Abrolhos is wholly vested in Western Australia's Minister for Fisheries for purposes of "Conservation of Flora and Fauna, Tourism, and for Purposes Associated with the Fishing Industry". Pigeon Island is one of a small number of islands given over almost entirely to the last of these. As a result of guano mining in the 19th century, and the development of fishing infrastructure in the 20th century, the island has very little conservation value.

Pine Tier Dam

The Pine Tier Dam is a gravity dam across the confluence of the Nive and Pine rivers, located near Queenstown, in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1953, the resultant reservoir, the Pine Tier Lagoon, was established for the purpose of generating hydroelectricity. The Pine Tier Dam and its reservoir are one of several dams and reservoirs that supply water to the Tungatinah Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station. The dam, reservoir and power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania. Dam and reservoir overview From the Nive River, most of the water entering the Pine Tier Lagoon is diverted via the Bronte canal to the Bronte Lagoon. Only overflows from the Pine River Dam enter the river, below the dam wall. Officially opened on 2 June 1953, the concrete dam wall is 44 metres (144 ft) high and 195 metres (640 ft) long. When full, the reservoir has capacity of 7,420 megalitres (6,020 acre⋅ft) and covers 83 hectares (210 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 736 square kilometres (284 sq mi). The uncontrolled spillway has a flow capacity of 2,432 cubic metres per second (85,900 cu ft/s). Reservoir The Pine Tier Lagoon is a popular site for inland fishing, with both brown trout and rainbow trout found in the lake. North and west of the Pine Tier Lagoon is the Pine Tier Conservation Area, a 1,914-hectare (4,730-acre) protected conservation area, part of the Tasmanian Land Conservancy's Five Rivers Reserve, that links the area with the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tasmanian Wilderness Area. Hydroelectric power station The Pine Tier Dam forms part of the complex of several dams, including the Bronte Lagoon formed by Bronte Dam, Bradys Lake formed by Bradys Dam, Lake Binney and the Tungatinah Lagoon; and a tunnel, canals, pipelines, flumes their associated control gates and a pump station. Together, these reservoirs support the generation of electricity at the Tungatinah Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station, situated adjacent to Lake Binney Dam.

Pipers River

The Pipers River is a perennial river located in northern region of Tasmania, Australia. It was named for Captain Hugh Piper. The Aboriginal name for the river is Wattra karoola. Course and features The river rises below Mount Arthur near Lilydale. It runs through Hollybank Forest, a tourist attraction, before flowing through the outer reaches of Lilydale. It then proceeds through to Karoola, Lower Turners Marsh and then Pipers River town. The river has its mouth at Pipers Heads near the towns of Weymouth and Bellingham flowing into Noland Bay, Bass Strait. A number of tributaries flow into the Pipers River including; Pipers Brook, at Bellingham, Back Creek at Weymouth and Rocky Creek near Lilydale. The river descends 975 metres (3,199 ft) over its 59-kilometre (37 mi) course. The river isn't very tidal except in the immediate area around Weymouth. Wildlife Results from a genetic study indicated that specimens of Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish from a site in the Pipers River catchment (Little Creek) were significantly genetically distinct from the rest of the species, and should be considered an important location for conservation.

Pipers River

Pipers River est une rivière qui traverse le nord de la Tasmanie. Elle doit son nom à Hugh Piper, un militaire britannique ayant exploré la région au XIXème siècle, mais son nom original en aborigène est Wattra karoola. La rivière prend sa source au Mont Arthur, près de Lilydale. Elle traverse Hollybank Forest, une attraction touristique, avant de rejoindre les abords de Lilydale. Elle atteint ensuite Karoola, Lower Turners Marsh et Pipers River, petite commune portant le même nom . Son embouchure se situe au niveau des villes de Weymouth et Bellingham, se déversant dans Noland Bay, Bass Strait. Elle reçoit l'eau de ses affluents : Pipers Brook à Bellingham, Back Creek à Weymouth et Rocky Creek près de Lilydale. Son courant n'est pas très fort excepté dans les environs de Weymouth. La société Gunns Limited a proposé la construction d'un moulin pour la fabrication de pâte à papier qui demanderait beaucoup d'eau. Il a été suggéré de construire un barrage au travers de Pipers River. Le débit de la rivière serait alors réduit d'un tiers. La proposition a reçu une forte opposition.[réf. nécessaire] Liens externes Resort in Pipers River Notes et références Portail des lacs et cours d'eau Portail de la Tasmanie

Point Cartwright Light

Point Cartwright Light is an active lighthouse located on Point Cartwright, a point near the mouth of the Mooloolah River, in Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia. It marks the entrance to the North West Channel, a deep water channel into Moreton Bay and the Port of Brisbane, and provides guidance into the Mooloolaba Harbour. History Old Caloundra Light, construction in 1896, was the first to serve the purpose of marking the entrance to the North West Channel. Changes in the shipping industry in the 1960s necessitated the construction of a modern signal and radar station, and thus New Caloundra Light was erected in 1967. However, New Caloundra Light was to have a short lifespan as a coastal light. By 1978 the buildings in Caloundra had grown in height, obscuring it from some angles. Point Cartwright Light was built in 1978. It was the sixth of a group of seven concrete towers erected by the Commonwealth between 1964 and 1979, by order of construction, Cape Capricorn Light, New Caloundra Light, Point Danger Light, New Burnett Heads Light, Fitzroy Island Light, itself and Archer Point Light. The light was automatic from its construction and was never staffed. Current display The light characteristic shown is three flashes every fifteen seconds, Red at 088°-180°, visible for 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi) and White at 180°-345°, visible for 23 nautical miles (43 km; 26 mi) The red sector provides guidance into the Mooloolaba Harbour, while the white sector serves the original purpose of marking the entrance to the North West Channel. The light source is a 200 Watt sealed beam array, fed from the mains electricity, with a diesel generator and batteries for backup. The intensity of the white flashes is 310,000 cd, while that of the red flashes is only 2,100 cd. This is achieved by a filter and a red plexiglas screen. Site operation and visiting The site and the light are operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.

Point Cook Town Centre

Point Cook Town Centre is a shopping centre in the centre of Point Cook in the west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It currently contains 150 stores in total and 2 supermarkets, Coles, Woolworths , as well as a Target department store. Although the official name the centre is Stockland Point Cook, it is known locally as Point Cook Town Centre. Background Point Cook has been subject to rapid growth. In 2001, Point Cook's population was 1,963 compared to the population in 2006, 14,735 and the expected population in 2015 being 45,805. Therefore, the need for a new shopping destination was essential to take the overflow off Pacific Werribee, Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre, Altona Gate and Central Square Shopping Centre. In June 2011, Stockland bought Point Cook Town Centre for $176 million. Construction VicUrban and Walker Corporation constructed the $150 million Point Cook on a 10 hectare site located 23 kilometres south-west of Melbourne's CBD. The design for Point Cook shopping centre is a town centre with a ‘main street’ theme with both sides of the street having small retailers with an undercover walkway. Stage one of the construction was finished in mid-2008 with a Coles, Target, Aldi and a further 90 specialty stores and the cost was $90 million. Stage two of the construction was completed in November 2010 with a further Harris Scarfe (now closed), a food court, and over 40 speciality stores adding to the town centre. The cost of stage two of the shopping centre was $50 million and overall, it costed about $150 million. The neighbouring library and community centre was built roughly about the same time and is a one-minute walk from the shopping centre. Centre Layout The area is split into 4 main precincts. The Coles precinct, including Coles and a few specialty stores and food and drink chains. The Target precinct, with a Target, EB Games Australia, Telstra, Centre Management and more. It also includes a few fashion stores. The Woolworths precinct, with a Woolworths, Rebel Sport, Food Court and other stores/facilities. Finally, there's an Aldi precinct, with an Aldi, Fresh Food market and Reject Shop. The centre also has a Library and Community Centre building. The centre is also surrounded by car parks, the Boardwalk Wetlands and Dunnings Road. Transport Stockland Point Cook is approx 30 minutes drive time (27 km) from Melbourne along the Princes Freeway.
