Nannup's Heritage Our Building The building housing the Nannup Visitor Centre was built in 1922—at a cost of 205 pounds—and operated as the town’s police station until 1984. Two original police cells are within the centre for public viewing, offering a snapshot in time of what it was like to be captive many years ago – a far cry from the modern jail cells of today. In De- cember 1984, the building was officially opened as the Nannup Tourist Information Centre and is the subject of many favourable comments from visitors enthralled with its historical significance.

Not only is cycling proven to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality, it also helps to create more vibrant and welcoming communities. Cycling can facilitate new forms of industry (such as cycle-tourism) and more generally, it enables people to live happier, healthier and more active lives. Fundamentally, increasing cycling mode share is about improving quality of life – something that is critical for attracting and retaining people in regional areas. The key to increasing cycling mode share is The Leeuwin-Naturaliste 2050 Cycling Strategy will providing infrastructure which is not only safe help inform future investment through the Regional and convenient, but also competitive against Bicycle Network Grants Program and potentially other modes of transport. To achieve this, cycling other funding sources. needs to be prioritised ahead of other modes in In developing this strategy, extensive consultation appropriate locations and integrated with adjoining has been undertaken with key stakeholders and land use.

Preiss fron Rottnest Island and the south-west part of the state. The following year Taylor (1847) listed 1"6 lichens from Western Australia in his catalogue of the W.J. Hooker Herbariun. Mueller (1887) collated the early records and produced a list of Australian lichens, includlng two species from Western Australia which had not previously been recorded:.

A total of 311 sites in 19 major catchments along the south-west coast from Capel to Walpole, were sampled using a variety of methods. New data was collated with that from previous studies to generate 15 species distribution maps. Habitat and life history notes and recommendations for conservation are made for each species. Changes in fish distribution are also commented upon. This study contributes to series of documents published for the purposes of water allocation planning in the Busselton to Walpole Region. Other publications focus on the following topics: • Recreational Use on Waterbodies in the Busselton- Walpole Region • Report on an Investigation into the Aboriginal Significance of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton-Walpole Region. • Enviromnental Significance of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton- Walpole Region • Historical Association of Wetlands and Rivers in the Busselton- Walpole Region. • Divertible Water Resources Key Words Water Resources Planning, Freshwater Fish Distribution, Wetland and Rivers, Busselton to Walpole, Western Australia.

Frontispiece: Western Mud Minnow in Lennard Brook; a critical habitat for the species. 2 AQUATIC MACROFAUNA OF ELLEN BROOK AND THE BROCKMAN RIVER Summary The South West Coast Drainage Division houses a highly endemic assemblage of aquatic fauna. For example, the region’s freshwater fish (80% endemic) and crayfish (100% endemic) endemicity is unsurpassed within the continent. However, this fauna has been severely impacted by habitat change and introduced aquatic species. Understanding the distribution and population viability of these aquatic organisms allows for the development and implementation of effective river action plans that can utilise these organisms as long‐term bioindicators of ecosystem health, but can also aid in the recognition of fauna that is in need of special protection. The Brockman River and Ellen Brook are both major tributaries of the Swan River.

  • The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways
    The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways There are 208 major waterways in Western Australia with a combined length of more than 25000 km. Forty-eight have been identified as 'wild rivers' due to their near pristine condition. Waterways and their fringing vegetation have important ecological, economic and cultural values. They provide habitat for birds, frogs, reptiles, native fish and macroinvertebrates and form important wildlife corridors between patches of remnant bush. Estuaries, where river and ocean waters mix, connect the land to the sea and have their own unique array of aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. Waterways, and water, have important spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people. Many waterbodies such as rivers, soaks, springs, rock holes and billabongs have Aboriginal sites associated with them. Waterways became a focal point for explorers and settlers with many of the State’s towns located near them. Waterways supply us with food and drinking water, irrigation for agriculture and water for aquaculture and horticulture. They are valuable assets for tourism and An impacted south-west river section - salinisation and erosion on the upper Frankland River. Photo are prized recreational areas. S. Neville ECOTONES. Many are internationally recognised and protected for their ecological values, such as breeding grounds and migration stopovers for birds. WA has several Ramsar sites including lakes Gore and Warden on the south coast, the Ord River floodplain in the Kimberley and the Peel Harvey Estuarine system, which is the largest Ramsar site in the south west of WA. Some waterways are protected within national parks for their ecosystem values and beauty.
