Eric Rooke, August 1999 INTRODUCTION The main aim of the “Barkly / Gulf Water Resources Assessment” project entails mapping the regional water resources of the Northern Territory part of the Barkly Tablelands; an area of 160,000km2. (Overleaf is a location map of the region with 1:250,000 scale National Topographic Map Series sheet boundaries superimposed).

This project is funded under the auspices of the National Heritage Trust (National Landcare Program). The bibliography has been compiled for intended use as a reference resource. A comprehensive list of documents and maps relating to the Barkly region, since European settlement, has been collated and catalogued into discrete subjects; for example “water supply”, “geology”. The entries are sorted alphabetically by the author’s surname. Each entry details the title, author’s name, publisher, published date, library call number (the shelf number), and library in which it is held. The “source” of the document is its printed form; that is, a book, a journal article, a report or a seminar proceedings, etc. To assist in research, a summary (in some cases an “abstract” or “extract” is quoted) of the document is provided, along with keywords and an ease of reading category.

The invaders forcefully commandeered the station quarters, the motel rooms, the kitchen, the office and most upsettingly for other station residents, the outdoor entertainment area next to the refreshment refrigerators. The Helen Springs Barkly Grazing Land Management (GLM) workshop was the first to be held in the area, and was well attended by participants who came from seven stations, from as far away as Avon Downs to the south and Ruby Plains to the west covering a total land area of 38,958km 2. Topics covered in the workshop included: • Understanding the grazing ecosystem- including the interaction between land type, climate and pasture production and the importance of land condition. • Managing grazing, including possible management strategies to reduce patch grazing and the process of calculating sustainable carrying capacities according to land type and appropriate utilisation rates. • Use of fire to help refresh rank pasture, assist in controlling pasture species composition and maintain biodiversity • The importance of weed management, and • Station planning The materials were based on those developed previously for other regions in northern Australia, but have been customised based on local data and expertise of technical staff and Barkly producers.
