Australia's Fossil Heritage

A Catalogue of Important Australian Fossil Sites

By: Australian Heritage Council

The National Heritage List was created in January 2004 to recognize, celebrate and protect places of outstanding heritage value to the nation. One aspect of natural heritage that has been little explored is Australiaâ__s wealth of exceptional fossil sites. While a small number of fossil sites have risen to public prominence, there are many lesser-known sites that have important heritage values. The Australian Heritage Council engaged palaeontologists from state museums and the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery to compile lists of outstanding fossil sites and to document their characteristics and relative importance against a range of categories, with a view to further understanding about Australiaâ__s important fossil heritage. Sites that were listed for National or World Heritage values were not included in the places for consideration, with the focus being on lesser-known but still important sites. This book is an account of the palaeontologistsâ__ findings. Australiaâ__s Fossil Heritage provides a useful reference to the outstanding fossil sites it catalogs, and gives a clearer understanding of the heritage values of such sites. More generally, it contributes to a greater appreciation of Australiaâ__s geological and fossil diversity and enables readers to learn more about Australiaâ__s prehistory.

Protecting Natural Heritage Using the Australian Natural Heritage Charter

By: Australian Heritage Commission

Protecting Natural Heritage: using the Australian Natural Heritage Charter is a guide to help you conserve places of natural heritage significance. This book uses principles outlined in the second edition of the Australian Natural Heritage Charter for the conservation of places of natural heritage significance a reference publication developed by the Australian Heritage Commission and the Australian Committee for IUCN (World Conservation Union). Drawing on the Charter, it gives you the tools needed to make sound decisions for managing and restoring natural heritage places whether: degraded or pristine; large or small; with many heritage values or just one; with areas of international, national or local significance; or farms, council reserves, mining leases, publicly or privately owned places, the land of traditional Indigenous owners or formally protected areas. Any individual or group involved in conserving Australia's natural heritage places can use this guide - including landowners and managers, non-government and government organisations, decision-makers, voluntary groups or professional practitioners. Protecting Natural Heritage: using the Australian Natural Heritage Charter replaces the Natural Heritage Places Handbook which provided assistance in applying the first edition of the Charter.

Australia's Fossil Heritage

A Catalogue of Important Australian Fossil Sites

By: , The Australian Heritage Council

The National Heritage List was created in January 2004 to recognise, celebrate and protect places of outstanding heritage value to the nation. National heritage encompasses those places that reveal the richness of Australia's extraordinarily diverse natural, historic and Indigenous heritage. One aspect of natural heritage that has been little explored is Australia’s wealth of exceptional fossil sites. While a small number of fossil sites have risen to public prominence, there are many lesser-known sites that have important heritage values. The Australian Heritage Council engaged palaeontologists from state museums and the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery to compile lists of outstanding fossil sites and to document their characteristics and relative importance against a range of categories, with a view to further our understanding about Australia’s important fossil heritage. Sites that were listed for National or World Heritage values were not included in the places for consideration, with the focus being on lesser-known but still important sites. This book is an account of the palaeontologists’ findings. Some of the sites that were included in the initial lists have since been recognised through listing on the National Heritage List or the World Heritage List. Australia's Fossil Heritage provides a useful reference to the outstanding fossil sites it catalogues, and gives a clearer understanding of the heritage values of such sites. More generally, it contributes to a greater appreciation of Australia’s geological and fossil diversity and enables readers to learn more about Australia's prehistory.
