History Of

AbstractThe geomorphic and stratigraphic history of six coastal embayments has been studied in the vicinity of Newcastle, New South Wales (N.S.W.), Australia, in order to determine modes of deposition, and the degree to which marine and estuarine deposits can be correlated and dated. Each embayment possesses its own distinctive suite of landforms ranging from those dominated by coastal dunes to those in which beach ridges occur. In four of the bays dual sand barriers, comprising an Inner Barrier and an Outer Barrier, provide the framework for correlation between embayments. Six stages are recognized in the deposition of late Quaternary sediments in this area: (i) Pre-Last Interglacial, involving accumulation of separate composite units consisting of estuarine clays and transgressive dune complexes; (ii) Last Interglacial stage during which Inner Barriers were formed; (iii) Last Glacial reworking of barrier and dune sands by westerly winds; (iv) Postglacial Marine Transgression during which the Outer Barriers were initiated; (v) Mid-Holocene stage following cessation of sea-level rise ca. 6000–6500 yr B.P. on this coast, and involving progradation of Outer Barriers in some embayments; and (vi) Late Holocene episodic eolian reworking of dune complexes and Outer Barriers. The relatively high wave and wind energy as well as the tectonic setting of the central N.S.W. coast results in somewhat different geomorphic histories from barrier-island coasts in North America and Europe.

Southern Species

There are few freshwater lakes associated with coastal dunes in southern New South Wales (NSW). Lake Nargal near Narooma, Bondi Lake near Bega, and a small lagoon near Pambula have little in common limnologically with coastal dune lakes of northern NSW and southern Queensland. They differ in mode of origin, are less dominated by NaCl, are less acidic, are more speciose, have few characteristic dune-lake indicator species, and moreover contain certain southern species. However, a re-examination of data for Lakes Windermere and McKenzie further north at Jervis Bay suggest that these are classic dune-contact lakes rather similar to those in northern NSW. Differences and similarities are largely influenced by the extent and therefore the hydrological influence of the contextural coastal sand mass and by biogeography.
