It is located about 69 kilometres (43 mi) south-east of the town of Devonport. The 2016 census determined a population of 116 for the state suburb of Western Creek.[1]

History

The locality was originally known as Dalebrook. It was the site of one of the first water-powered sawmills in Tasmania.[2]

Geography

Western Creek (the watercourse) and Dale Brook both run from south to north through the locality.[3]

Road infrastructure

The C168 route (Dairy Plains Road) enters the locality from the north and exits to the north-west as Western Creek Road. The C166 route (Cheshunt Road) starts at an intersection with route C168 and exits to the north-east.[4]

gollark: Denied.

gollark: ... no.

gollark: Thus bad.

gollark: It does NOT allow random access.

gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™️ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end, finds the latest versions and decompresses stuff at the right offsetThere are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
