In terms of new directions, I believe the most prominent of which was the establishment of the Andamooka Town Management Committee (ATMC) pursuant to Section 11 of the Outback Communities (Administration and Management) Act 2009. The ATMC was established to oversee and coordinate the delivery of ‘municipal’ services into to the Andamooka community. The Andamooka Progress and Opal Miners Association were finding it increasingly difficult to deliver these services in, what is, a dynamic community facing rapid change as a result of the nearby expansion development of the mining operations at Olympic Dam. In May 2012 the Minister for State/Local Government Relations approved the OCA’s recommendation that, following the OCA’s acceptance of the ATMC consultation report on the 2012-2015 Community Plan incorporating the 2012-2013 Financial Plan that included a Community Contribution Scheme (CCS), a CCS be applied in the 2012-13 financial year. In June the OCA appointed a Community Administrator to manage the day-to-day delivery of municipal services to the Andamooka community. The approval by the Minister of the OCA’s inaugural 2011-2015 Strategic Management Plan, incorporating the 2011-12 Business Plan and Budget, is a fundamental milestone that will largely define what the OCA is, and does, over the next few years. Other significant achievements during the year have been the transition of the Copley water reticulation system from community management to the management of the OCA and the implementation of a new Small Sports Grants Program and a Small Project Grants Program, together resulting in nearly $150,000 investment in the outback. Ongoing investment in Outback communities through the OCA’s Community Affairs Resourcing and Management (CARM) Agreements resulted in over $330,000 being provided along with over $365,000 spent on outback infrastructure including public conveniences and the UHF repeater network. Ongoing success in securing external investment resulted in over $360,000 being spent on improvements to Mungerannie, William Creek and Marla aerodromes along with the commencement of a $2 million upgrade to the Oodnadatta aerodrome. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the OCA Board for their vision and commitment to improving the outback and I would also like to thank the OCA staff for their hard work and dedication to the implementation of the OCA’s business plan and the very significant achievements for the people who live and work in the Outback. William R McIntosh AM Chair 1 General Manager’s Report The year ending 30 June 2012 provides an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the Outback Communities Authority (OCA) staff for the preceding financial year. As articulated by the Chair, the most significant achievement was the establishment of the Andamooka Town Management Committee (ATMC) and the subsequent community approval

  • Coober Pedy, South Australia
    The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Naretha Meteorite (Synonyms Kingoonya, Kingooya)
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976, 4 (1) NARETHA METEORITE (Sync;>nyms: Kingoonya, Kingooya) W.H. CLEVERLY* [Received 27 May 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 31 August 1976.1 ABSTRACT Much of the missing portion of the Naretha (Western Australia) meteorite has been located in museums as an un-named specimen and as two smaller specimens masquerading under the name 'Kingoonya' (or 'Kingooya'). The use of the junior synonyms with their implications of a South Australian site of find should be discontinued. INTRODUCfION Naretha meteorite, an L4 chondrite, was found in 1915 about 3 km north of the 205-mile station during construction of the Trans-Australian Railway. It was broken into at least three major pieces which were acquired by Mr John Darbyshire, Supervising Engineer for the construction of the western end of the railway (construction was proceeding simultaneously from both Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta ends - Fig. 1). Mr Darbyshire donated the meteorite to the W.A. School of Mines in Kalgoorlie where one' piece was retained and exhibited with a photograph of the reassembled meteorite (Fig. 2). A second fragment which was passed on to the Geological Survey of Western Australia was noted briefly by Simpson (1922) who first used the name 'Naretha', the name which had been given to the 205-mile station. There is strong presumptive evidence that the third fragment was passed on to Mr S.F.C. Cook of Kalgoorlie, a private collector from whose inaccurate verbal statements and undocumented collection, the subsequent confusion arose. In late 1926 Mr Cook gave a small piece of 'meteorite to Mr G.W.

After examining the trial transcripts, the grounds for appeal, and the reports by forensic scientists investigating the evidence presented by the forensic pathologist, I unravel the crime to reveal its hidden nature and consequences.
