If we can create vibrant, increasingly autonomous and self-reliant local groupings of people that emphasise sharing, cooperation and living lightly on the Earth, we can avoid the fate warned of by Rachel Carson and the world scientists and restore the sacred balance of life.1" 1 David Suzuki.

(Geoff) Ford - which is a 558 page analysis of the historiography (telling of the history) with new findings. Details of the findings can be read in the 2010 thesis text, with commentary in footnotes. (References given here are to the thesis, online link at University of Sydney Library catalogue, http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/7745.) Common spellings with English characters include ‘Darkinung’, Darkinyung, Darkinjung. Why not a map? That is considered p.347 fn.75. In mainland Australia, fixed boundaries did not exist before settlement, so these findings taken from analysis of the earliest historical source records are the best available topographical borders for the Aboriginal Darkiñung-language group who were the Wallambine people of the northern Blue Mountains: that is, people of the Hawkesbury-Hunter Ranges between the mid Hunter R. floodplain and the Hawkesbury R. floodplain. Throughout the continent, waterways or other water sources formed the centre of Aboriginal country. Geographical extremities of Aboriginal country in the study were found to be based on topographical watersheds of large catchments, other than when based on a wide body of water [such as Lake Alexandria near the Murray River mouth p.367 fn.16, p.264 fn.35], here a forcefully flowing river making an inland sea across a floodplain (p.234 fn.111).

  • Soft Sediment Macrophytes General Introduction and Context
    Soft Sediment Macrophytes General Introduction and Context Estuaries contribute US$7.9 trillion annually to the The NSW Government has undertaken mapping global economy (Costanza et al., 1998). Much of of sub-tidal macrophytes in Sydney Harbour using this wealth can directly or indirectly attributed to aerial photographs. Mangroves and saltmarsh are estuarine flora. In estuaries, the main vegetation restricted to intertidal regions in Lane Cove River, types are seagrasses (worth AUS$19,000 ha.yr−1), Middle Harbour, and Parramatta River. saltmarsh and mangroves (AUS$9,990 ha.yr−1 combined; Costanza et al., 1998)). These three Saltmarsh has declined in Sydney Harbour and less habitats support the ecological and economic wealth than 37.5 ha remain. Of the 757 patches of saltmarsh 2 of Australia’s productive estuarine ecosystems. In remaining, most are small (< 100 m ) and isolated. this section of the report we deal with seagrasses, Mangroves have become more common in Sydney mangroves and saltmarsh collectively. However, it is Harbour. Over 184 ha have been observed in the important to note that the three floral types are not Harbour, despite being relatively uncommon prior to without significant differences in ecology. the 1870’s. Seagrasses are the only estuarine plants that can live totally submerged in oceanic water. While not truly grasses (i.e. not in the family Poceae), they are angiosperms (flowering plants). The term seagrass itself refers to a taxonomic grouping with much convergent morphology (Connell and Gillanders, 2007). Like most angiosperms, seagrass roots provide a mechanism for nutrient uptake. Unlike many terrestrial plants, however, a complex rhizome system linking individual shoots across several square km provides much of the structural support needed in high energy submerged environments.

  • District Sydney Green Grid
    DISTRICT SYDNEY GREEN GRID SPATIAL FRAMEWORK AND PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES 145 TYRRELLSTUDIO PREFACE Open space is one of Sydney’s greatest assets. Our national parks, harbour, beaches, coastal walks, waterfront promenades, rivers, playgrounds and reserves are integral to the character and life of the city. In this report the hydrological, recreational and ecological fragments of the city are mapped and then pulled together into a proposition for a cohesive green infrastructure network for greater Sydney. This report builds on investigations undertaken by the Office of the Government Architect for the Department of Planning and Environment in the development of District Plans. It interrogates the vision and objectives of the Sydney Green Grid and uses a combination of GIS data mapping and consultation to develop an overview of the green infrastructure needs and character of each district. FINAL REPORT 23.03.17 Each district is analysed for its spatial qualities, open space, PREPARED BY waterways, its context and key natural features. This data informs a series of strategic opportunities for building the Sydney Green Grid within each district. Green Grid project opportunities have TYRRELLSTUDIO been identified and preliminary prioritisation has been informed by a comprehensive consultation process with stakeholders, including ABN. 97167623216 landowners and state and local government agencies. MARK TYRRELL M. 0410 928 926 This report is one step in an ongoing process. It provides preliminary E. [email protected] prioritisation of Green Grid opportunities in terms of their strategic W.

The concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn in SPM and sediment at each site were normalised for aluminium (Al) concentration (e.g. Cd/Al), to account for natural variation in particle size and mineralogy. Enrichment factors (EFs) were calculated from these data by dividing the mean metal concen- tration at each site in the Sydney Estuary, for each environmental matrix (i.e., filtered water, SPM and sediment), by its mean base- line metal concentration from near-pristine reference sites in the adjacent Hawkesbury Estuary.
