We respect and acknowledge their spiritual connection as the custodians of this land, and that their cultural heritage and beliefs are still important today.

Michael’s intent is to portray these I JANUARY animals as individuals, reflecting their unique personalities. He chooses I to depict them in an FEBRUARY intimately analytical yet expressive form. Michael and his wife Wink live on a country property on the banks of the River Murray at Mannum, rescuing injured and orphaned animals. As a result they have a considerable number of native animals, including kangaroos living on the property. Many of these were hand raised, so they are extremely quiet and accept Michael and Wink as family. It makes them perfect subjects of observation for an artist.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction The Regional Youth Strategy 2007 – 2010 sets out a vision for young people in the Alexandrina Council and the City of Victor Harbor. It aims to provide a framework for actioning Councils’ policies and strategies. Young people are our future and it is in the interests of the region that Councils create youth friendly communities – an environment where young people choose to live, work and play. This document outlines the profile of young people, their issues and concerns, and endeavours to align with relevant National, State and Regional policies and plans. This document informs a policy framework based on the overriding Vision of: Fostering safe youth friendly communities where young people are respected and experience a strong sense of belonging; - and provides the Objectives and Strategies of the Youth Action Plan. 2. The Development of the Regional Youth Strategy The development of the Regional Youth Strategy and Action Plan has involved various consultative processes with a diverse range of young people such as; small group discussions and surveys, Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) meetings and planning days.

  • Chapter 3: Water and Biodiversity in South Australia
    3 Water and biodiversity in South Australia 3.1 As the driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world,1 South Australia received considerable attention at the height of the drought experienced by southeastern Australia from 1997 to 2009, the worst drought in the 110-year instrumental record.2 The impact on the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) region, in particular, was a major focal point. Located at the downstream end of the Murray–Darling River system, there was concern that the drought, combined with the over-allocation of water resources upstream, had severely compromised the region’s internationally significant biodiversity. 3.2 Some of the environmental impacts of the drought have abated since 2009. However, many of the challenges for the region remain, and these were part of the focus of the Committee’s site inspections in the CLLMM region on 16 May 2012. 3.3 Apart from this focus, the Committee was interested to see the development of innovative practices for the sustainable use of water resources and the protection of biodiversity assets. On 17 May 2012, the Committee inspected the constructed Greenfields Wetlands, which contribute to addressing concerns about the availability of water from the River Murray and the potential ecological impacts of stormwater run-off on marine ecosystems. 1 Government of South Australia, ‘Importance of water’, <http://www.sa.gov.au/subject/Water,+energy+and+environment/Water/Water+resources +in+SA/Importance+of+water> viewed 9 October 2012. 2 B Timbal, ‘The continuing decline in South-East Australian rainfall: update to May 2009’ in PA Sandery, T Leeuwenburg, G Wang and AJ Hollis (eds), CAWCR Research Letters, issue 2, July 2009, Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, Melbourne, 2009, pp.
