This postcard may have belonged to the donor's paternal grandmother, Maggie Johnston Rees (1867-1964) as the writer is 'M. J. Rees'. Maggie married in 1935, so this postcard dates before that time possibly c1920s. These and other postcards and photos came from the estate of David Moyle (1938-2015) who was a police officer in Emerald during late 1960s-early 1970s, and subsequently at Belgrave in the early 1980s. David Moyle was closely associated with the now defunct Sherbrooke Historical Association.This postcard is significant because it was part of a collection belonging to a community member who had a close association with a local historical society.Tourist postcard with panoramic view of Queenstown and Mt Owen, Tasmania c1920s.Printed on bottom of front: 'QUEENSTOWN, WESTERN TASMANI.

Field Trip Preparations - Tellurometer traverse, Wyndham, Western Australia to Borroloola, Northern Territory 1960. This was a Tellurometer Traverse undertaken to establish 1st order EDM traverse (geodetic survey of Australia) from Mt Isa to Borroloola with airborne barometric altimetry in the Camooweal area. Followed by 1:250,000 map control by 4th order astro, airborne barometric altimetry and air photo annotation from Georgetown. Laplace Astro carried out as a separate activity from Camooweal, working north to Borroloola and east to Richmond. Also ‘Leap-frog’ barometer heighting from Croydon to Esmeralda closing on State BM at Croydon. Base camps were established at Camooweal for the traverse and Georgetown for the map control and annotation. Bilby towers were used on the coastal section of the EDM traverse, east and south of Borroloola. Vehicles used were Austin Champs (with Rolls Royce engines) and Humber one-ton trucks with Landrovers used for first time on a field trip. Other personnel included on the trip, but not exclusively are; Capt Clem Sargent, WO1 Des Moore, WO1 Ron Newman; Sgt Len Davies, Sgt Norm Vaughan, Sgt Joe Farrington (Laplace), Sgt Tony Slattery, Sgt John Van de Graaff (Laplace), Sgt Harry Wright (MT), Sgt Jack Waller (QM) Cpl Lou Sommer, Cpl Bob Skitch (later Sgt), Spr Don Cocker, Spr Ian Bryan, Spr Leo Bub, Spr Bruce Cockburn, Spr Pat Cox, Spr Jim Fitzhenry, Spr Bill Hills, Spr Noel Humphreys, Spr Dennis Woods, Spr Richard Jackson-Hope, Spr Bill Jeffery, Spr Andy Millar, Spr Dave Owen, Spr Blue Rogers, Spr Tom Royle, Spr Bob (Lofty) Thompson, Spr Peter Strandly and Spr Mick Symmons.

This photograph was taken at Wooragee Hall on the 28th of April, 2004, during an general information event titled "Questions About Quolls." The event was hosted by Andy Murray, then president of the South East Forests Spot-Tailed Quoll Working Group. Information provided included quoll characteristics, habitats, and how to find them. This event was partially prompted by a desire to find out if quolls still lived in Mount Pilot-Chiltern National Park, as there had been no confirmed sightings since the 2003 bushfires. Andy Murray helped lead the efforts to find them. Currently, landcare group efforts have found evidence of a small but present spot-tailed quoll population in the park. Reasons for the decrease in population include fox populations in the area and destruction of habitat. The man pictured in the photograph is Owen Gemmill(?) The spotted-tailed quoll, also called the Tiger Quoll, is an endangered Australian animal. It is the largest carnivorous mammal in Australia, and is native to Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania. Slightly larger than a cat, the animals fur is normally brown, with black marking and white spots. Currently, there are approximately 14,000 spotted-tailed quolls in the wild. This photograph is significant as an example of events used by the Wooragee Landcare Group to inform the public on local environmental issues, and for its link to the hunt for the spotted-tailed quoll.
