    DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J.

  • Complaints Handling Polict
    Agnote No: E46 December 2005 Some Important Forage Plants of the Alice Springs District C. Allan, Pastoral Production, Alice Springs The Alice Springs district extends from the South Australian border north to Tennant Creek and east-west from the Queensland border to the Western Australian border. The area occupied by pastoral properties covers some 300,000 km2. This Agnote describes some of the important forage plants in this region. An associated Agnote "Rangeland Pastures of the Alice Springs District" (G4) describes the major plant communities of the region. Plants growing in the Alice Springs district can be considered in three broad categories: • Woody plants (trees and shrubs). These species browsed by cattle are called topfeed. • Grasses (both annual and perennial species). • Herbage (also called forbs). TREES AND SHRUBS Specific information on the description/recognition, nutritive value and grazing management of topfeeds can be found in the booklet "Fodder Trees and Shrubs of the Northern Territory" (copies available from Technical Publications, Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines). Some of the important trees and shrubs are: Mulga (Acacia aneura) - useful topfeed on better soil types. Easily killed by fire. Hot fires followed by wet years promote re-establishment. Also increases in wet years in the absence of fire. Witchetty bush (Acacia kempeana) - useful topfeed. Re-sprouts after burning. Can increase in wet years on country north of Alice Springs. Rabbits have impacted on its regeneration on much of the calcareous country south of Alice Springs. Ironwood (Acacia estrophiolata) (not to be confused with the poisonous type in the Top End) useful topfeed when accessible to cattle.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • MVG 16 Acacia Shrublands DRAFT
    MVG 16 - ACACIA SHRUBLANDS Acacia hillii, Tanami Desert, NT (Photo: D. Keith) Overview The overstorey of MVG 16 is dominated by multi-stemmed acacia shrubs. The most widespread species is Acacia aneura (mulga). Mulga vegetation takes on a variety of structural expressions and is consequently classified partly within MVG 16 where the overstorey is dominated by multi-stemmed shrubs, partly within MVG 6 in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol definition of forest cover in Australia (trees > 2 m tall and crown cover > 20%, foliage projective cover > 10%); and partly within MVG 13 where the woody dominants are predominantly single-stemmed, but with crown cover less than 20%. Occurs where annual rainfall is below 250mm in southern Australia and below 350mm in northern Australia (Hodgkinson 2002; Foulkes et al. 2014). Species composition varies along rainfall gradients, with substrate and rainfall seasonality (Beadle 1981; Johnson and Burrows 1994). Transitions into MVG 13 Acacia woodlands with higher rainfall and varying soil types. Is most commonly found on red earth soils (Hodgkinson 2002).

Maslin Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Maslin, B.R. Four new species of Acacia (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) with fasciculate phyllodes from south-west Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 161–175 (2014). Four new species of Acacia Mill. sect. Acacia are described, namely, A. dilloniorum Maslin, A. keigheryi Maslin, A. kulinensis Maslin and A. parkerae Maslin. Acacia keigheryi, A. parkerae and A. kulinensis occur in the wheatbelt region of the South West Botanical Province; the first two were previously treated as informal variants of A. lullfitziorum Maslin to which they are related, with the latter more distantly related to these species. Acacia dilloniorum occurs in the adjacent Eremaean Botanical Province, in the south-west extremity of the arid zone; it is most closely related to A. kochii W.Fitzg. ex Ewart & Jean White and is not especially close to the other three new species described here. All four new species are classified as Priority taxa under Department of Parks and Wildlife Conservation Codes for Western Australian Flora. Notes are provided (under A. parkerae) on A. scabra Benth., a poorly known entity of uncertain taxonomic status that is known only from its type. Introduction The four new species described here belong to Acacia Mill.

  • Brockman 4 Camps Vegetation and Flora Survey
    Biota (n): The living creatures of an area; the flora and fauna together 21 August 2012 Peter Royce Principal Advisor - Environmental Approvals Approvals Division Rio Tinto Central Park 152-158 St George’s Terrace Perth WA 6000 (via email) Dear Peter Brockman 4 Camps Vegetation and Flora Survey Biota Environmental Sciences (Biota) was commissioned by Rio Tinto Pty Ltd (Rio Tinto) to conduct a vegetation and flora survey for the Brockman Camps area (hereafter referred to as the “study area”), located east of the operational BS4 mine and immediately adjacent to the existing accommodation village. This brief report presents the results obtained during that field work. Scope and Objectives The potential development site (defined by the boundaries of the study area) around the Brockman Camps extends over an area of 180 ha, of which 53 ha has been cleared or is deemed as extensively disturbed. Prior to this clearing, a survey conducted by Biota in early December 2006 and late January 2007 recorded no flora of conservation significance in this area (Biota 2007). Vegetation over about 30 ha of the remaining area was previously mapped as part of the Brockman Syncline 4 (BS4) project (Biota 2006). The botanical field survey was therefore conducted over the remaining 97 ha of the study area (adjoining the previously surveyed BS4 study area). This survey was undertaken in accordance with the Guidance Statement No. 51 "Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia" (EPA 2004).
