    Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3

    Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3 Changes in urban environments Issued August 2009 EPA 769/09: This information sheet is part of a series of Fact Sheets on the Adelaide coastal waters and the findings of the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS). Introduction Since European settlement in the 1830s, the Adelaide plains and Adelaide’s coastal environment have been subject to considerable change and pressure from a continually increasing population. In recent years there has been growing community concern about the effects of coastal and catchment development on the marine environment. Increases in stormwater flows and waste from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have also been of concern. Nutrients and other pollutants introduced to Adelaide’s nearshore waters from urban and rural runoff, WWTPs and some industrial sources have been found by the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) to have had a negative impact on Adelaide’s nearshore marine environment, including the loss of over 5,000 hectares of seagrass. Historical catchment changes When Adelaide was selected by Colonel William Light for South Australia’s state capital in 1836 there was a wide belt of coastal dunes and wide sandy beaches stretching to the north and south of Glenelg. From Seacliff to Outer Harbor there was a 30 km stretch of sand dunes broken only by the Patawalonga Creek at Glenelg. The Torrens River flowed into a series of swamps lying behind the coastal dunes and drained both north and south to the sea through the Patawalonga Creek and Port River system. The stretch of sand dunes comprised two or more parallel ridges each about 70 to 100 metres wide separated by narrow depressions or swales, consequently very little surface catchment runoff would have reached the coastline.

  • BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address

    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address

    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address: Blackford Reserve Rowney Road Blackford SA 5275 SUMMARY OF HERITAGE VALUE: Description: The Blackford Reserve consists of a large area of land bisected by Rowney Road. There are two stone cottages standing on the east side of the road, and one of stone and mixed materials on the west side. Most of the reserve is covered by native scrub, in a district where most land has been cleared for farming. Statement of Heritage Value: Commencing in about the 1880s, the Blackford Reserve was continuously occupied by an Indigenous community until the 1940s, and is still used today. It is the most substantial evidence of the historical and continuing relationship between European and Aboriginal people in the South-East. In addition, while there are a number of places entered in the SA Heritage Register because of their role in the interaction between European and Aboriginal South Australians, including all or part of the settlements at Poonindie, Moorundie, Point Pearce, Raukkan (Point McLeay) and Killalpaninna, all these settlements differ from Blackford Reserve in one fundamental respect. All were created, administered and supervised on a day-to-day basis by European staff. Most were run by church missionaries, Moorundie and Point Pearce by government officers, but all were European. Blackford is fundamentally different in being a settlement run entirely by and for its Aboriginal residents. Relevant Criteria (Under Section 16 of the Heritage Act 1993): (a) It demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history (d) It is an outstanding representative of a particular class of places of cultural significance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Blackford Reserve be provisionally entered in the South Australian Heritage Register, and that it be declared a place of archaeological significance.

    lntraspecific Variation in the Acoustic Signals of Birds and One Species of Frog: lmplications for the Acoustic ldentification of lndividuals A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Adelaide Daniel Rogers BSc (Hons) lll Acknowledgments A great many people have assisted me along the way to completing this work. I would firstly like to thank my family, and especially my mother and father, for instilling in me the notion that if I was passionate enough, I could achieve anything. The fact that my passion lies in the realm of biological conservation must also be attributed to them, by showing me the wonders of the natural world from a very early age. Thanks, Mum and Dad. I would also like to thank Dr. David Paton, for his enthusiastic supervision of this project. I was approached by David with the idea of doing a PhD on acoustic identification of individual birds. Despite neither of us having any background in bioacoustics, Dave's enthusiasm for the idea has allowed my knowledge in the field to flourish, and helped me to maintain my own enthusiasm for the project. As I was also a true omithological novice at the beginning of this work, David also introduced me to the absolute wonders and spectacle of natural history in South Australia, and it is for this that I am certainly most grateful. 'When you take on David Paton as a supervisor, you also get the lab, and all its members have assisted me in one way or another.
