Zoological Project Localities

NRCP 1989-90

The National Rainforest Conservation Program funded this large study, with field work carried out over two years. Known collectors were Robyn Coy, John Diggle, Penelope Greenslade, Jonathon Marsden-Smedley, Heather Mitchell, Mark Neyland, Lynne Robertson, David Rounsevell, Steven Smith and Allen Trumbull-Ward. Specimens are now in a number of Australian museums.
 
On this page the primary spatial data (in bold) are 100 m UTM grid squares from Coy et al. (1993), except for the Old Farm Road site, which is known only as a 1 km square. Derived spatial data are full UTM grid references and lat/long for the centres of the indicated 100 m or 1 km grid squares. Precision is likely to be ±100 m around centres of 100 m grid squares, and ±500 m around the centre of the indicated 1 km grid square for the Old Farm Road site.
 
Note that the locations given here are based on the AGD66 datum. To convert these grid references to the system based on the GDA94 datum, add 112 m to eastings and 183 m to northings. To convert latitude/longitude to GDA94 (approximately equivalent to WGS84), subtract 5.4" from latitude and add 4.8" to longitude.
