Desert Yarns Diamantina Shire Council Desert Yarns June, 2013 Volume 4 Issue 63 Upcoming Events Distributed free to all residents. RADF Meeting - June 5 Message from the Mayor Queens Birthday Public Holiday - June 10 Hello all for another month. Ordinary Council Meeting - June 17 Probably the biggest news as far as Local Government is concerned, is the referendum that has been announced to coincide with the Federal Election in September. The Referendum is Birdsville Gymkhana - June 22/23 to alter Section 96 of the constitution to acknowledge the financial relationship between the Youth Council Meeting - June 28 Commonwealth and Local Government and confirm the continuation of direct federal funding for community infrastructure and services. Currently Local Government is not recognised in Bedourie Rodeo, Campdraft & Gymkhana - the constitution so the Federal Government cannot give funding directly to councils, the June 28/30 money first has to go to the State Government who may or not pass all or any of the money John Williamson Concert - July 8 on to the council. Past experience has shown that the temptation for the state to siphon off some of the money for themselves is too great. Local Government need this Referendum to Big Red Run - July 8/13 be successful to ensure we get full value of any federal funding. Bedourie Camel Races - July 13 Last week I attended, by telephone, an information session with Michael Dickson and Scott NAIDOC Celebrations - July 19 Leonard about Disaster Management Systems. It is my opinion that one thing that does need to change in disaster management is that all the emergency services e.g. Rural Fire, SES etc, Qld Music Festival Performance - July 22 should be under one control. Given that in small communities it is the same wonderful people who volunteer to do these great services why should they have to have 3-4 different uniforms for different events, and should you turn up at an incident in the wrong jumpsuit heaven help you. Surely a one for all scenario would be better. Message from the Mayor 1 Writings from the CEO 2 I would like to point out to small community groups that the State Government is changing the law so that small non-profit organisations will not need a liquor licence for small one off From the Tourism & Community Desk 3 events. One less job and expense for the good people who run these events. Works Report 4 For some of the older residents who may remember, May Miller previously of Boulia has Positions Vacant 5 passed on. May was the wife of Eddie Miller, Boulia-Bedourie mail man for many years in the 60s and 70s. I wish the family of Eddie and May all the best; mine was only one of the many Council News 6 lives they touched. Public Notices 7-11 Next Thursday evening the residents of Birdsville are invited to a community meeting at the Crocodile in Birdsville 12 Community Hall. This is to introduce members of Knauf Insulation, who want to turn Birdsville, one of the most isolated towns, into one of the most insulated towns. They want Photography Competitions 13-15 to insulate the whole town for little or no cost. I encourage all house owners to come along and have a listen. While of course this is a promotion exercise, it is something useful for Information for Community 16-17 nothing and costs nothing to listen. Playgroup Catchup 18 As no doubt, everyone has heard Birdsville has a new resident, an Australian Freshwater Youth Council News 19-20 Crocodile. While it is meant to be harmless I suspect it hurting the tourist industry given that tourists are going from having quiet 2-3 nights along the river to going into the caravan Health News 21-22 park, where one night is probably enough. One wonders what the owners and trainers will Police News 23-24 think race time with all the horses stabled along the riverbank with most of their staff on the ground in the same area. An unusual time for Birdsville! Community News 25-28 It has been good to hear the good rainfalls recorded in the northern parts of the shire, Bronco Branding/Campdraft/Rodeo 29-32 excellent news! While the southern parts continue to wallow in drought. Results Any way until next month, unless you’ve been bitten or run over by a roll of insulation DSC Events/Flyers 33-44 Mayor Cr Geoff Morton Diamantina Shire Council 07 4746 1202 17 Herbert Street 07 4746 1272 BEDOURIE QLD 4829 [email protected] Page 2 Desert Yarns Writings from the CEO Fire Preparedness Representatives from the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service at Charters Towers met with community members in Birdsville on May 7 and in Bedourie on May 8, 2013 to discuss fire preparedness, specifically resources and training. At present there are six slip on units in Diamantina Shire with a seventh arriving soon that are available to anyone requiring them. Location Unit Particulars Birdsville Township 1 x new unit commissioned and ready With foam Mount Leonard Station 1 x new unit commissioned and ready With foam Bedourie Township 2 x new units commissioned and ready With foam Carlo Station 1 older yellow unit Craven’s Peak Reserve 1 older yellow unit Birdsville Township 1 x new unit not commissioned No foam HF radio ‘ready reckoner’ cards will be placed in both appliances (Fire Trucks) to assist emergency volunteers with radio usage. There was no response to the recent request by Council through Desert Yarns for information to ground truth fire ground maps with pet names for water points and tracks. As a result, the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service will provide all stations with a laminated A1 size map of their station with a number of plain copies. If there are anomalies in information, please liaise with Mr Gavin Fryar of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, Charters Towers on 4761 5131 to update this information. While the imminent threat of fire damage is no longer prevalent, this is the time to prepare for the next season. Council staff will soon service both appliances to make certain they are in tip top condition. Local Disaster Controller Scott Mason Fibre Optic Telecommunication Proposal for Diamantina and Barcoo Shire Councils The Fibre Optic Cable proposal for Diamantina and Barcoo Shire Councils is progressing. Even though it was unsuccessful during the Round 4 Regional Development Australia (RDA) funding announcements, progress is being maintained in the event that one of the successful three projects ‘falls over’ during the funding process. Further, the respective Councils are open to pursuing other funding options in addition to Round 5 of RDA to see the proposal eventuate. The most recent advancement was the tender analysis which was held over two days in Windorah during early May. On the back of the recent Federal Coalition National Broadband Network Policy announcement, Diamantina Shire Council has also approached Mr Bruce Scott MP, Member for Maranoa for written confirmation now, that should the coalition government gain power following the September Federal election, what type of support would a new government provide to the proposal. It is anticipated that this formal support will be used to leverage a financial commitment from the Queensland State Government. Page 3 Desert Yarns From the Tourism & Community Desk It’s budget time and we are busy looking at projects for next year. The new Tourism web site is now under production and should be complete in around 1-2 months. The upgrade of the Bedourie Clinic has now commenced. Work is also scheduled to commence shortly on upgrading of the lighting, stage and audio facilities at both the Bedourie and Birdsville Community Halls. We’ve had some fantastic arts workshops held in each town this week as well as planning workshops for the development of the Cultural Plan. Congratulations to Jo Lewington for her role in making these happen and for all those who were involved. The recent Bronco Branding was another great event and congratulations to the organisers. Remember, if you’re in Brisbane between 5-11 June and would like to help promoting the Di- amantina then head down to the Showground and see Barbara Mason or give me a call. We are working on several projects associated with the Birdsville Races and are interested in finding ‘buskers’ for the food court area. Calls for quotations have now been released and we are seeking operators for the Shower Block, Airport 2013-2015 and Overflow Camping Block on Graham Street. I would also like to thank Birdsville Residents for their patience as we have carried out repairs to the reservoir and cooling ponds over the last few months. If you haven’t already done so be sure to ‘friend’ the two Diamantina facebook sites. We have both a corporate site for council and a tourism site for ‘The Diamantina’. If you are a user of social media you will find these sites a great way to keep in touch with what is happening and gain the latest information on road closures and events. Until next month! Steven Baldwin Tourism & Community Manager Page 4 Desert Yarns Works Report HEALTH VISIT Council organised another round of health and wellbeing sessions in the Super Camp on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 and in the Gravel Camp on Thursday, May 9, 2013, followed by a session in Birdsville on Friday May 20, 2013. The Multi Skilled Crew joined in on the session at the Super Camp.

Kowari Survey – Clifton Hills and Pandie Pandie Station December 2007 (Pedler & Read) 47 ii Summary: This paper reports on a presence/absence population status and distribution survey primarily for the Kowari (Dasycercus byrnei) in areas of known or likely habitat in Sturts Stony Desert, north-eastern South Australia. The survey was carried out between 27th August to 11th September 2007 on Mulka, Cowarie, Pandie Pandie, Innamincka and Cordillo Downs pastoral leases. The Kowari’s major habitat areas on Clifton Hills Pastoral Lease were not sampled as access was not approved by the property manager. Monitoring traplines followed typical Kowari survey standards with aluminium box/treadle traps (Elliott Type A) placed 100 metres apart on 10 kilometre long transects sampling ideal habitat over two trap-nights. The only variation from this standard was the pairing of traps at each station, one having bait specifically for Kowaris and other carnivorous species, the other baited for general sampling. Trapping was carried out at 6 locations over 12 nights with an approximate intensity of 400 trap-nights per sample.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Valuing Water: variability and the Lake Eyre Basin, central Australia Abstract 'Environmental values' form an increasingly important component of natural resource management, but use of the term 'value' is dominated by a narrow and limiting utility-based definition. In this paper I consider theories of value and practices of valuing water in the arid and semi-arid Lake Eyre Basin, central Australia. While value is the subject of diverse meanings - both within a range of academic disciplines and as understood by people in specific places - methods of aluingv water in natural resource management are limited by reductionism, anthropocentrism and cultural specificity. This conceptualisation of value does not adequately capture what people in the Lake Eyre Basin value about water. I propose valuing variability as a new framework for valuing water that embraces diversity, change and complexity, and emphasises interconnections between water, humans and the non-human world.

Two monitoring grids were established on Clifton Hills Station by Department for Environment and Heritage in areas that were thought to represent ideal habitat for the species with the aim of comparing numbers between different intensities of cattle grazing and monitoring Kowari numbers over time.

  • Clifton Hills Station Expedition Report, 2018
    THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM’S 2018 BIENNIAL COLLECTING EXPEDTION TO CLIFTON HILLS STATION 1 – 11 September The Museum’s 2018 Biennial Collecting Expedition sponsored by the Waterhouse Club was to Clifton Hills Station, which covers an area of 1.6 million hectares of varied landscapes in the far north east of South Australia about 100 km south of Birdsville. The Eyre Creek and the Diamantina River join to form Goyder Lagoon – a vast area of floodplain in the north west of the Station - and the wetlands of the Cooper Creek system are in the south east. These are recognised as Nationally Important Wetland systems by the Australian Government, a conservation priority under the State Government’s SA Arid Lands Biodiversity Strategy, and as an Important Bird Area by Birdlife International. Consideration is also being given to establishing a reserve to protect the nationally vulnerable Kowari and Fawn Hopping Mouse. The Museum’s Scientific Team comprised Dr Mark Hutchinson, Senior Research Scientist, Herpetology; Dr Cath Kemper (mammals), Graham Carpenter (birds), Dr Remko Leijs (bees/pollinators) and Jo Wood (Museum volunteer assisting Remko). Our brief was to assist the scientists in their field survey work, offering a rare opportunity for members to work side-by side with a team of scientists recognised as experts in their field of scientific interest. The main collecting zone was east of the Birdsville Track about 60 kms along the Walkers Crossing Track – an area with diverse eco-systems and habitats. Following an overnight stay and briefing at the Marree Hotel, 26 intrepid expeditioners made their way in convey to meet the Museum team at the Walkers Crossing Track base camp, 260 from Mungerranie.

Mecke Abstract We present an assessment of the systematic status of populations currently assigned to Eremiascincus fasciolatus across Australia using morphological data. Our analyses show that these populations actually comprise four species: a large and robust, narrow-banded taxon from eastern Queensland and three slender, desert-dwelling taxa from the western, northern, and south-eastern Australian arid zone respectively. These data necessitate: 1) the redescription of E. fasciolatus, a species endemic to the dry forests of eastern Queensland, 2) the resurrection of E. pallidus for the western taxon, 3) the resurrection of E. intermedius for the northern taxon, and 4) the description of the south-eastern desert-dwelling taxon, which largely occurs in the Lake Eyre Basin, as a new species.
