  • Introduction of an Alien Fish Species in the Pilbara Region of Western
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 33 108–114 (2018) DOI: 10.18195/issn.0312-3162.33(1).2018.108-114 Introduction of an alien fsh species in the Pilbara region of Western Australia Dean C. Thorburn1, James J. Keleher1 and Simon G. Longbottom1 1 Indo-Pacifc Environmental, PO Box 191, Duncraig East, Western Australia 6023, Australia. * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Until recently rivers of the Pilbara region of north Western Australia were considered to be free of introduced fsh species. However, a survey of aquatic fauna of the Fortescue River conducted in March 2017 resulted in the capture of 19 Poecilia latipinna (Sailfn Molly) throughout a 25 km section of the upper catchment. This represented the frst record of an alien fsh species in the Pilbara region and the most northern record in Western Australia. Based on the size of the individuals captured, the distribution over which they were recorded and the fact that the largest female was mature, P. latipinna appeared to be breeding. While P. latipinna was unlikely to physically threaten native fsh species in the upper reaches of the Fortescue River, potential spatial and dietary competition may exist if it reaches downstream waters where native fsh diversity is higher and dietary overlap is likely. As P. latipinna has the potential to affect macroinvertebrate communities, some risk may also exist to the macroinvertebrate community of the Fortescue Marsh, which is located immediately downstream, and which is valued for its numerous short range endemic aquatic invertebrates. The current fnding indicated that despite the relative isolation of the river and presence of a low human population, this remoteness does not mean the river is safe from the potential impact of species introductions.

  • Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah
    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.

  • Australian Exchange (Kalgoorlie) 2017
    Australian Exchange (Kalgoorlie) 2017 Erena Hosford—RMIP Wairarapa We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home. – Australian Aboriginal Proverb The super pit In July 2017 I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to be placed in rural Western Australia for two weeks of my 5th year medical training. I was placed at Kalgoorlie Hospital in the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, which is in the goldfields 595km inland from Perth. The town has a population of over 32,000 people and was founded in 1893 during the gold rush. The largest employer in the area is the ‘Super pit’, an open cut gold mine, which is over 3 km long. The evening my fellow RMIP classmate and I landed in Kalgoorlie we were greeted at the airport by staff from the medical school who took us to our accommodation. There we met some of the Australian rural medical students. They had just started their mid year break but were still happy to take us out for dinner and show us around the town. The next day we started at the hospital. Kalgoorlie Hospital has an incredibly large catchment area, with some patients having travelled over 900km to attend clinics. While in Kalgoorlie I was on the Paediatric and General Medicine teams. I found the medicine there to be really interesting. There were many indigenous Australian patients, as well as a surprisingly large amount of New Zealanders (who move to Kalgoorlie to work in the mines).

  • Australia's National Programme of Action for the Protection of The
    case study 21: the geographe bay region 2 Australia’s National Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities case study 21: the geographe bay region executive summary The Geographe Bay region, like many other Western Australian coastal areas, is facing the stress of excess nutrient loading to the coastal waterways and the adjacent marine ecosystem. Also like several other regions, the symptoms of this are the highly damaging toxic algal blooms that occur frequently in the fresh and estuarine waters of the region, and the major impacts for agriculture, tourism, public health and biodiversity. These issues were first recognised in the Geographe Bay region in the 1990s, and a community-led process was initiated to develop and implement an integrated catchment management plan designed to reduce nutrient inputs and restore environmental values to their former levels. The catchment management plan is now implemented by Geographe Catchment Council (GeoCatch), a small community-based organisation established for this purpose. The catchment management plan is a voluntary instrument designed to re-orient rural and urban management practices towards more desirable objectives through education and awareness raising, through demonstrated examples of best practice, and through promotion of specific measures for adoption by local and state government agencies. A large number of important strategies have been developed and implemented, and new strategies are being developed. However, although the catchment management plan provides for monitoring and evaluation to be conducted, there appear to be very few examples that demonstrate the success of the plan in facilitating improved catchment health (such as by reducing nutrient loading to rivers or the bay).

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.
