There is a strong case for private landholders concerning themselves with wildlife conservation, not only for the sake of the plants and animals, but also for their own well being. This book argues that, while there certainly are ethical and aesthetic reasons for preserving native flora and fauna, there might well be economic benefits from learning to live with the land as well as on it. This is a practical guide through the various aspects of conservation that can be carried out on both small and large holdings and measures that can be taken to repair previous uneconomic uses of the land, for example, those that have resulted in tree decline and soil erosion.

In the survey, studies were made of the physiography, climate, underground potential and surface water resources of individual river valleys throughout New South Wales.

The caves occur in a limestone plateau surrounded on three sides by deep river gorges. The five deepest limestone caves on the Australian Mainland are found here, and the area is very popular with speleologists who come to explore and study the caves and others who merely come to admire the magnificent scenery. The immediate threat to the spectacular gorge scenery and the inevitable threat to the caves posed by expanding limestone quarries has been the principal motivation for the preparation of this book. This book represents the combined efforts of many dedicated speleologists covering the last decade. This is one of the first book length publications on any of Australia's fascinating caving areas. This book consists of a series of papers covering every facet of the area; history of discovery; exploration; geomorphology; biospeleology; botany; conservation and cave surrounding; and including maps of all the caves. This book contains a wealth of interesting and useful information and is a complete guide to Bungonia Caves. Only 2000 reprinted. Very Good/Very Good.

The need for the survey had been highlighted by the inevitable mistake made in early development and use of our water resources due largely to inadequate data, investigation and research. In the survey, studies were made of the physiography, climate, underground potential and surface water resources of individual river valleys throughout New South Wales. In addition to reviewing existing water requirements, assessments were undertaken of possible future water needs and developments. Very Good/Very Good.

Pages clean and bright in firm binding. Bungonia Caves are located some 17 miles north east of Goulburn on the Southern Highlands of NSW. The caves occur in a limestone plateau surrounded on three sides by deep river gorges. The five deepest limestone caves on the Australian Mainland are found here, and the area is very popular with speleologists who come to explore and study the caves and others who merely come to admire the magnificent scenery. The immediate threat to the spectacular gorge scenery and the inevitable threat to the caves posed by expanding limestone quarries has been the principal motivation for the preparation of this book. This book represents the combined efforts of many dedicated speleologists covering the last decade. This is one of the first book length publications on any of Australia's fascinating caving areas. This book consists of a series of papers covering every facet of the area; history of discovery; exploration; geomorphology; biospeleology; botany; conservation and cave surrounding; and including maps of all the caves. This book contains a wealth of interesting and useful information and is a complete guide to Bungonia Caves. Only 2000 reprinted. Very Good/Very Good.
