ISBN 0 958503 9 1 SPERA Mission and Goals Mission The Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia Incorporated (SPERA) links people with a diverse range of interests in education and training to promote the development of rural Australia by: • promoting a positive view of education in rural areas and encouraging innovation and initiative in the provision of rural education services; and • providing a framework for the sharing of concerns, issues and experiences relating to education and training in rural areas. Goals SPERA advances the education and training opportunities for all people in rural Australia by: • promoting State and regional delivery systems which bring about efficient and effective education for people in rural areas; • encouraging both the collection and sharing of relevant information on the provision of education in rural areas; • conducting an annual National Conference to exchange ideas and information about education and training in rural education; and • serving as a national advocate representing rural education and training. President’s Welcome Message _____________________________________________________________________ The Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia, or SPERA as it is more commonly known, links people with a diverse range of interests in education and training to promote the development of rural Australia. Therefore, it is very fitting that SPERA’s 21st annual, national rural conference is celebrated in Darwin, Northern Territory which has earnt the reputation of developing strong educational and training practices which are closely linked to enhancing rural and remote communities. Conference 2005 has an apt theme – ‘Our Stories: Innovation and Excellence in Rural Australia’ – which has provided a highly interactive forum for sharing our challenges, celebrating our achievements and promoting our innovative approaches towards rural and remote education and training across a range of challenging and diverse rural and remote communities and cultures. The keynote addresses and the workshop sessions are pitched at rural and remote education and training practitioners who are actively engaged in their profession – to those who are ‘having a go’ in order to improve the outcomes for rural and remote learning communities. SPERA Conferences have a strong capacity for building national and international networks on a professional and social level. The Conference proceedings are a substantial tool for continuing the sharing of strong and innovative practice throughout all rural and remote learning communities. Sincere appreciation is extended to the following whose efforts, energy and enthusiasm have ensured that the essence of SPERA’s 2005 National Rural Conference has been captured in this quality document –thanks go to Colin Boylan, Kate Haddow, Leanne Bug, Margaret Chamberlain, Laura Haddow, and Sam Haddow Anne Napolitano SPERA President.

The website can be viewed at www.spera.edu.au SPERA History SPERA emerged from a New South Wales in-service activity organised by Marie Dale in 1984. The activity brought together Marie Dale and Bob Meyenn, then Lecturer in Education at Riverina CAE, and the pair went on to organise a National Conference on rural education, which was held in Armidale, New South Wales in 1985. At this Conference, SPERA was endorsed as a national organisation and Marie became its foundation president. Concerned by the effect the ‘disadvantaged’ label was having on rural communities, Marie and Bob saw the need to establish a national organisation which would advance the positive aspects of rural life and rural education and celebrate the unique features of rural education. Around the time SPERA formed, CAP and DSP had been operating some ten years and rural communities were becoming conditioned to accept the ‘disadvantaged’ label in order to attract funds. It concerned Marie that these communities were locking themselves into such a negative mind set. SPERA is an organisation which celebrates the ‘doers’ in rural education and has promoted many wonderful examples of education excellence in schools, TAFE, universities, adult and agricultural education at its national conferences over the last 12 years. Its leadership has been shared by community people, adult educators, academics and school administrators from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and more recently Western Australia. In 1991 SPERA published a journal, Education in Rural Australia with Colin Boylan as its editor. In its 10th year, SPERA launched the Australian Rural Education Award to acknowledge education achievements in rural Australia and celebrates SPERA’s commitment to advance the positive aspects of living, working and being educated in a rural community. In 2004, SPERA joined with WADHSAA to conduct a joint 20th National Conference in Fremantle, Western Australia. The theme of this joint conference was Working Together, Staying Vital. This year, 2005, SPERA conducted its 21st National Conference in Darwin, Northern Territory, with the focus Our Stories: Innovation and Excellence in Rural Education. In 2006, the 22nd National SPERA Conference will be held in Hobart Tasmania during July 2006. Refereed Conference Papers For the 2005 SPERA Conference, presenters were able to have their paper peer reviewed by two people. A total of nine papers were submitted and seven conference papers were accepted for inclusion in the Conference Program and Conference Proceedings. The review committee for the 2005 Conference consisted of the following members: Dr Colin Boylan Professor Alan Bowd Senior Lecturer in Education Faculty of Education Charles Sturt University Lakehead University Wagga Wagga NSW 2678 Thunder Bay Ontario Canada Mrs Annette Green Mrs Roslyn Brennan Lecturer in Vocational Education Senior Lecturer in Vocational Education Charles Sturt University Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga NSW 2678 Wagga Wagga NSW 2678 Mrs Sheila King Dr Keith Moore Faculty of Education Faculty of Education University of Southern Queensland Queensland University of Technology Toowoomba QLD 4350 Brisbane QLD 4034 Mrs Jan Martin Dr William Letts Faculty of Education Faculty of Education University of Waikato Charles Sturt University New Zealand Bathurst NSW 2795 Dr Russell Yates Mrs Rosa Lincoln Faculty of Education District Superintendent University of Waikato Pilbara District New Zealand Western Australia Professor Ted Munsch Dr Marsha Davis Alaska Pacific University District Superintendent Anchorage Lewis Clark County Alaska USA Montana USA M/s Cheree Dean Professor Dennis Mulcahy Lecturer in Education Faculty of Education Charles Sturt University Memorial University Wagga Wagga Newfoundland Canada The Australian Rural Education Award This annual award was established in 1994 by the Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia (SPERA). This was the first national award recognising both excellence in rural education and promoting creative ways of meeting the education needs of rural families and their communities. A broad range of projects were eligible for the Australian Rural Education Award 2005. The selected project had to address the positive qualities of rural education in a practical way. Eligibility was wide, and applications were sought from within and beyond schools, TAFE, university and adult education. Organisers also wanted to hear from and about individuals, Local Government, community service organisations, ethnic community groups or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Groups who had set up educational projects. There was no age limit on applicants; however, the nominee must have been involved in the project in the year of submission. The nominee must also have been living in or clearly demonstrated collaboration with a rural community. The winning entry would have needed to address the following areas: • What prompted development of the project? • Who was involved in its establishment? • What are the long term goals? • Who will benefit? • Descriptive summary of the project. • What effect has it had in your area? • What are the distinctive rural features of the project? The recipient of the 2005 Australian Rural Education Award will be announced during the 21st National Conference.

Thanks also to Karen and Donna for their work ethic, their enthusiasm and their productivity. The strong working relationship between Councils and the Group has continued as we strive to meet our regional targets of reducing waste, increased recycling and best practice waste management. I was personally pleased with Cohuna/Leitchville attaining two years plastic shopping bag free status and we had a terrific day handing out certificates with Kaye Darveniza, MP officiating the ceremony and we received lots of positive feedback from the traders as we met with each of them during the day. Across the region the continued rolling out of the plastic bag free program has been a success with 33 towns now ‘Plastic Bag Free’. Mention should also be made of the Loddon Shire and CMRWMG who received a Keep Australia Beautiful State Award for the Shire being Plastic Shopping Bag Free.

  • Eocene Bryozoans Preserved in Chert from the Wilson Bluff Limestone, Eucla Basin, Western Australia
    Eocene bryozoans preserved in chert from the Wilson Bluff Limestone, Eucla Basin, Western Australia MARCUS M. KEY, JR, MACKENZIE S. BURKHART & MICK O’LEARY KEY, M.M., JR, BURKHART, M.S. & O’LEARY, M. 2019:11:15. Eocene bryozoans preserved in chert from the Wilson Bluff Limestone, Eucla Basin, Western Australia. Australasian Palaeontological Memoirs 52, 85–90. ISSN 2205–8877. Fossil bryozoans preserved in cherts of the middle to upper Eocene Wilson Bluff Limestone from the Eucla area, Western Australia, are described. The Wilson Bluff Limestone was deposited in the broad shallow epicontinental Eucla Basin, which underlies the Nullarbor Plain and extends offshore into the Great Australian Bight. It is exposed at the base of the Nullarbor Plain sea cliffs and in caves in the Nullarbor Plain. The Wilson Bluff Limestone is a fine-grained, medium- to thick-bedded, chalky, bryozoan-rich limestone with abundant chert nodules. Volumetrically, the most important fossils are bryozoans. Thin sections from three samples of Aboriginal chert artifacts and two samples of chert from well cuttings were prepared. Due to the lack of frontal wall zooecial morphology, species were determined from zoarial habit, branch width, and zooecium diameter. Sixteen colonies could be assigned to three species: the cheilostomes Adeonellopsis sp. and Cellaria rigida, and the cyclostome Idmonea geminata. This species diversity preserved in chert is far lower than in previous studies of the non-chert component of the Wilson Bluff Limestone. This was attributed to the poor preservation resulting from the silicification process. Marcus M.

  • Collaboration Delivers NEW INFORMATION to Support MINERAL EXPLORATION
    ISSUE 78 June 2005 Collaboration delivers NEW INFORMATION to support MINERAL EXPLORATION As part of the National Geoscience Accord, Geoscience Australia is collaborating closely with its state and territory counterparts in regional geoscientific studies to encourage mineral exploration. GA is partnering with the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) on the North Australia and Tanami projects. In the Gawler Craton, we are collaborating with Primary Industry and Resources, South Australia (PIRSA) on the Gawler Project. The recently released NTGS Report 18, ‘Gold mineral system of the Tanami region’, by Wygralak et al (order at www.minerals.nt.gov.au/ntgs/) documents the results of a joint NTGS–GA study on the genesis and geological controls on lode gold deposits in the Tanami region. This report emphasises the importance of second-order structures associated with the D5 deformation event dated at younger than 1815 million years, and emphasises the range of pressures and temperatures of ore formation and the role of fluid reduction as a gold trapping mechanism. More joint reports to come Forthcoming joint reports with the NTGS include ‘Geology and origin of some Cu–Pb–Zn (–Au–Ag) deposits in the Strangways Metamorphic Complex, Arunta Region, Northern Territory’ by Hussey et al, which will document the geology and genesis of Zn–Pb–Cu–Ag and Cu–Au deposits in the eastern Arunta to the east-north-east of Alice Springs. A series of reports by Worden and co-workers will summarise the results of joint geochronology studies through the Northern Territory. Joint work with GSWA on prospects in the western Tanami region will also be released as a GSWA report entitled ‘Preliminary studies of the geologic setting of lode gold deposits in the western Tanami region, Western Australia’ by Bagas et al.
