  • Threatened Plants and Animals in Kakadu National Park: a Review and Recommendations for Management
    Threatened plants and animals in Kakadu National Park: a review and recommendations for management John Woinarski Project NHTKNP01 Report to Parks Australia North. September 2004. J.C.Z. Woinarski Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment PO Box 496 Palmerston Northern Territory, 0831 Cover photograph: Arnhem rock-rat Zyzomys maini (photo: Greg Miles) SUMMARY This report comprises three main sections. The first section is an introduction that lists the currently recognised threatened plant and animal species that occur within Kakadu National Park; describes the process and criteria for listing; notes the substantial discrepancies in lists between the last comprehensive review of Kakadu’s threatened species (1995) and this report; and notes also the substantial discrepancy between national and Northern Territory listings for threatened species occurring in Kakadu. The second, and largest, section provides more specific information on each threatened species, noting in particular the status of each species within Kakadu National Park, as well as providing a broader conservation and management context. The third section collates information on management and threats across the set of threatened species, and draws research and management priorities for Kakadu National Park. The species occurring in Kakadu National Park that are listed as threatened under national and/or Northern Territory legislation are tabulated below. The current listing comprises a total of 16 plant species (of which 6 are listed at national level) and 31 animal species (of which 16 are listed at national level). An additional plant species has been nominated to be added at the next revision of the NT list. Information is also presented on four threatened plant species with records from near Kakadu, and considered reasonably likely to occur within Kakadu.

  • The Mamurrng Ceremony of Western Arnhem Land Reuben Brown
    1 A Different Mode of Exchange: The Mamurrng Ceremony of Western Arnhem Land Reuben Brown A sensory overload ‘Hold on!’ I shout to my partner Rachel and yabok (K: sister)1 Rhonda, as we hit a wave that almost sends us flying over the side of our tin boat. We grip the edge of the boat tightly, and I check to see whether the recording gear at my feet is still dry. We are now completely at the whim of the ocean as our boat skips along the waves, tracking from Sandy Creek, on the mainland of Arnhem Land in the north coast of Australia, to Warruwi, Goulburn Island—where the Mamurrng (diplomacy or exchange ceremony; see Berndt 1951: 156) will take place. Back in the Aboriginal community of Gunbalanya, where my adopted family reside and where we began our journey, the surrounding rocks of the Arnhem Land plateau are baking and the wetlands drying out to a crust, as the hot weather of the dry season continues to scorch the earth, with no rain in sight. But out here, the wind and spray of the ocean provides welcome 1 Throughout this article, significant words relating to western Arnhem Land songs in the Aboriginal languages of Kunwinjku (K) and Mawng (M) are indicated in italics (except for proper nouns such as the names of people and song-sets). English translations are glossed in brackets the first time the word appears in the text. I adopt standard orthographies for both Kunwinjku and Mawng. 41 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES relief from the harsh build-up of heat.

  • 10 Gapu Dhulway, Gapu Maramba: Conceptualisation and Ownership of Saltwater Among the Burarra and Yan- Nhangu Peoples of Northeast Arnhem Land
    10 Gapu Dhulway, Gapu Maramba: conceptualisation and ownership of saltwater among the Burarra and Yan- nhangu peoples of northeast Arnhem Land Geoffrey Bagshaw Although a considerable body of literature now exists on aspects of cus- tomary marine tenure and/resource usage in the Blyth River—Crocodile Islands region of northeast Arnhem Land,1 little has been written about the ways in which the local Burarra and Yan-nhangu peoples actually conceptualise saltwater and articulate concomitant relations of sea ownership. Ultimately, and perhaps inevitably, this lack of focus upon indigenous conceptions of saltwater has resulted in the promulgation and uncritical acceptance of certain ethnographically inaccurate rep- resentations of regional sea tenure patterns and principles. Foremost among these (mis)representations is the widely held view that tradi- tional patterns of land and sea tenure in this region are, to all practical intents and purposes, identical (cf. Davis 1984a; Davis and Prescott 1992; Cooke 1995:9–10; Keen 1984–85:433; see also Northern Land Council 1992:1, 1995:2,4–5). Deriving from this perspective are the equally erroneous, if often less explicitly articulated, assumptions to the 1 See, for example, Aboriginal Land Commissioner (1981); Bagshaw (1979, 1991a, 1991b, 1991c, 1995a); Cooke (n.d.[a], n.d.[b], 1995); Davis (1981, 1984a, 1984b); Davis and Prescott (1992); Dreyfus and Dhulumburrk (1980); Keen (1977, 1981, 1984–85); Meehan (1977a, 1977b, 1977c, 1982, 1983); and Ritchie (1987). Similar material from neighbouring parts of Arnhem Land can be found in Aboriginal Land Commissioner (1988); Davis (1981, 1982); Ginytjirrang Mala/ADVYZ (1994); Hiatt (1982); Keen (1982, 1983); Northern Land Council (1992, 1995); and Palmer (1984–85).

Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.
