Sedimentary landscapes including ancient, indurated and weathered landscape basin development resumed in the Cainozoic with the formation remnants, as well as young and dynamic, erosive and sedimentary of the Lake Eyre Basin in the north (Callen et al., 1995) and the landforms. It includes a complex landscape history closely related Murray Basin in the south (Brown and Stephenson, 1991; Rogers to the weathering, sedimentation and denudation histories of et al., 1995). Mesozoic sediments in the area of the Bancannia major Mesozoic and Cainozoic sedimentary basins and their Basin (Trough) have been traditionally considered as part of the hinterlands, as well as the impacts of climate change, eustacy, Eromanga Basin, which may have been joined to the Berri Basin tectonics, and anthropogenic activities. All this has taken place through this area. Cainozoic sediments in the Bancannia Basin across a vast array of bedrock types, including regolith-dominated have been previously described within the framework of the Lake areas extremely prospective for mineral exploration.

    TrueBlue OUR HEART IS IN THE COUNTRY Reach up to 125,000 readers 2020 Media Kit per issue TrueBlue OUR HEART IS IN THE COUNTRY What is TRUE BLUE? TRUE BLUE is the inflight magazine for Rex Airlines. TRUE BLUE is a magazine dedicated to telling the stories of interesting Australian people, and a publication that aims to explore the industries that they work in and the places they call home. TRUE BLUE is a magazine that aims to educate readers about the first people to live on this great southern land, featuring stories, ideas and business knowledge from Indigenous Australians. Each year more than 750,000 million people travel on Rex Airlines. That’s a captive audience of 125,000 people every issue, and our research has shown that the magazine is read at least twice, and often three times. These passengers are entertained throughout their journey thanks to the only inflight entertainment medium provided onboard the aircraft – TRUE BLUE. This audience sits in the highest demographic of income earners (with an average income of around AU$150,000 a year), making TRUE BLUE a targeted and responsive platform upon which to advertise your brand. There is a section of TRUE BLUE dedicated to Rex Airlines, which features a welcome letter from the CEO, a map displaying Rex routes, news from Rex, FAQ, information on inflight safety and comfort, and some puzzles. The rest of the magazine includes travel and lifestyle features, a national events calendar, product pages, interviews with people making a difference in Australia and the world, as well as a dedicated mining, agribusiness and business section, as most of our frequent flyers are business people who like to stay informed and abreast of local and national news and current affairs.

Species in Australia the small-to-medium body size range have been particularly badly affected. Feral cats and foxes have played a Invasive predator central role in this decline and consequently strategies for reducing their numbers are being evaluated. One such Fossil record strategy is the reintroduction to the mainland of the Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii. Here, we provide a Feral cat palaeontological perspective on this proposal. We begin by collating published records of devil remains in Fox Quaternary deposits. These data show that the range of devils once spanned all the main ecological zones in Tasmanian devil Sarcophilus Australia.

    Cobar Shire Cobar Shire is located in western New South Wales, about 700 kilometres north-west of Sydney and 650 kilometres north of Canberra. Cobar is on the crossroads of three major highways – the Kidman Way linking Melbourne to Brisbane, the Barrier Highway linking Sydney to Adelaide via Broken Hill and the Wool Track linking the Sunraysia area to Queensland. Cobar Shire is home to around 5,000 people, the majority of whom live in the town of Cobar. The Shire is also made up of grazing leases and villages, with small villages at Euabalong, Euabalong West, Mount Hope and Nymagee. The Shire encompasses a total land area of about 46,000 square kilometres. The Shire's prosperity is built around the thriving mining - copper, lead, silver, zinc, gold - and pastoral industries, which are strongly supported by a wide range of attractions and activities, that attract around 120,000 visitors to the Shire a year. Rail and air infrastructure include regular freight trains to Sydney, a recently upgraded airport, a daily bus service to Dubbo and Broken Hill and freight and courier options available for all goods and services. Cobar boasts a strong and reliable workforce which has a wide range of skills, particularly in mining, manufacturing and supporting industries, trades, retail and agriculture. A good supply of general labour is available to meet the needs of new and expanding businesses. There is ample land available for development, both serviced and un-serviced. There is a wide variety of housing in Cobar, including town blocks of varying size and zoning, rural residential blocks and rural holdings.

  • Broken Hill Complex
    Broken Hill Complex Bioregion resources Photo Mulyangarie, DEH Broken Hill Complex The Broken Hill Complex bioregion is located in western New South Wales and eastern South Australia, spanning the NSW-SA border. It includes all of the Barrier Ranges and covers a huge area of nearly 5.7 million hectares with approximately 33% falling in South Australia! It has an arid climate with dry hot summers and mild winters. The average rainfall is 222mm per year, with slightly more rainfall occurring in summer. The bioregion is rich with Aboriginal cultural history, with numerous archaeological sites of significance. Biodiversity and habitat The bioregion consists of low ranges, and gently rounded hills and depressions. The main vegetation types are chenopod and samphire shrublands; casuarina forests and woodlands and acacia shrublands. Threatened animal species include the Yellow-footed Rock- wallaby and Australian Bustard. Grazing, mining and wood collection for over 100 years has led to a decline in understory plant species and cover, affecting ground nesting birds and ground feeding insectivores. 2 | Broken Hill Complex Photo by Francisco Facelli Broken Hill Complex Threats Threats to the Broken Hill Complex bioregion and its dependent species include: For Further information • erosion and degradation caused by overgrazing by sheep, To get involved or for more information please cattle, goats, rabbits and macropods phone your nearest Natural Resources Centre or • competition and predation by feral animals such as rabbits, visit www.naturalresources.sa.gov.au
