The affected area relates to farmland receiving less than 600 mm average annual rainfall and encompasses most of the State’s commercial dryland farms. Continuing farm water supply problems throughout the north-eastern and eastern wheatbelt have highlighted the need for the development of an integrated approach to on-farm and off-farm water supply. The ‘Water Planning and Management for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture’ project for the North-eastern and Eastern Wheatbelt was funded by the Natural Heritage Trust for three years (July 1996-July 1999). The research was based at the Merredin Dryland Research Institute and focused on developing strategies for Zone 5 and the north-east of Zone 2 that covers the north-eastern and eastern parts of the wheatbelt. The Sustainable Rural Development project and the Sustainability of Wool Production Systems supported the integration of farm water planning into focus catchment planning and the development of agricultural water supply areas to form a Regional Farm Water Plan. Agricultural water supply areas were identified as part of the Regional Farm Water Plan developed for the project. The description of the water supply areas for the north-eastern and eastern wheatbelt will assist landholders in the development of new supplies and guide maintenance strategies and improvement of existing water supplies. A regional study for the North-eastern and Eastern Wheatbelt was undertaken to assist in the development of new and existing water supplies and to define a landform-based approach for surface water management. Five farm water supply areas were identified using natural resource management units that relate to different types of water supply development potential. The base data used to develop water supply areas included soil type, landscape units, geology, hydrogeology, native vegetation and existing farm water resource infrastructure. 3 FARM WATER FOR THE NORTH-EASTERN AND EASTERN WHEATBELT Contents Page 1.

Introduction The area covered by this report is Zone 5 (North-eastern and Eastern Wheatbelt) and the north-eastern part of Zone 2 (Reticulated Scheme Area) of the Western Australian Farm Water Plan as shown in Figure 1. Although the reliability of water supply in Zone 2 is generally superior to Zone 5, there is ample scope for on-farm water supply development in Zone 2. The Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Zone 5 are Dalwallinu, Koorda, Mt Marshall, Mukinbudin, Westonia, Yilgarn and Narembeen covering 2 million hectares. The LGAs in Zone 2 considered are Trayning, Nungarin, Merredin, Bruce Rock and Kellerberrin. This represents a total of 2.9 million hectares. Figure 1. Western Australian Farm Water Plan Zones (Farm Water Strategy Group 1994) The Yilgarn catchment consists of 5.66 million hectares of land that extend from Kellerberrin to Southern Cross, east and north of Mukinbudin. The catchment is part of the Swan-Avon drainage system and includes the salt lakes which are part of the Zone of Ancient Drainage. These salt lakes exist as a linear chain that are interconnected, but rarely flow as they experience high evaporation and a shallow profile. The Yilgarn catchment was the area that overlapped with Zones 2 and 5 and studied in this project (Figure 2). Four focus catchments were studied from the Yilgarn catchment: Bodallin (Yilgarn LGA), Wallatin Creek (Kellerberrin LGA), Yeelanna and Yarragin TangPlang (Trayning LGA). The study area has a Mediterranean climate with cool wet winters and hot dry summers. Average annual rainfall varies between 280 and 360 mm with approximately two-thirds falling in the growing season (May to September). Average monthly maximum temperature ranges from 16 to 36oC with the average annual evaporation exceeding 2,000 mm. Farming systems are dominated by winter cereal production and grazing of livestock, primarily Merino sheep for wool. 5 FARM WATER FOR THE NORTH-EASTERN AND EASTERN WHEATBELT Mukinbudin Southern Cross Merredin Kellerberrin Zone 2. Reticulated Scheme Area Zone 5. North-eastern and Eastern Wheatbelt Figure 2. Farm Water Plan Zones 2 and 5 overlapped with the Yilgarn catchment Water supplies are described as either low quality (livestock) or high quality (domestic) sources. Low quality water from dams and bores is generally used for livestock, garden, laundry and toilet facilities. High quality water is used for drinking, domestic purposes and for specific needs in farm operations such as crop spraying. The main sources of high quality water are tanks connected to roofed structures and bores. A Farm Water Strategy Group was initiated in 1992 to advise on strategies that would reduce the severity and extent of supply problems. The Farm Water Plan 1994

Importantly it has been expanded to include 16 local governments. This Strategy includes 6 strategic objectives and supporting directions. Working collaboratively will enhance access, accommodation, attractions, amenities and activities in our region and deliver quality visitor experiences. The Strategy moves towards a more regional approach and encourages the sharing of resources, ideas and practices to ensure best practice in the industry. Summary of Objectives • To appreciably raise the profile of tourism across the region, • To establish stronger alliances with zone tourism, industry, and government stakeholders, • To raise the community’s participation in regional tourism, • To establish co-operation and collaboration amongst partners and subregional tourism groups, • To increase visitation levels and length of stay by effective marketing strategies and the development of a range of accommodation and quality visitor experiences, • To establish the region as a short break seasonal destination across market streams, • To establish a range of self-drive routes, and • To increase the accessibility and quality of sites and attractions over five years.

    I INTRODUCTION TO YORKRAKINE ROCK, EAST YORKRAKINE AND NORTH BUNGULLA NATURE RESERVES A. CHAPMAN The biological survey of these reserves is part of a programme evaluating the relationships between vertebrate fauna and vegetation on reserves in the Western Australian wheatbelt. Studies published are listed in Dell (1979). In addition surveys of Marchagee Nature Reserve (Dell et al. 1979) and Buntine and Nugadong Nature Reserves (Kitchener et al. 1979) have now been published. Description of Reserves Yorkrakine Rock Nature Reserve (YRR) and East Yorkrakine Nature Reserve (YER) are in the Shire of Tammin while North Bungulla Nature Reserve (NBR) is in the Shire of Kellerberrin in the Western Australian wheatbelt. Tammin (31°39'S, 117°28'E), the nearest town, is ca 170 km east of Perth. These reserves and the wheatbelt generally are situated on the granites and granitic gneisses of the Yilgarn Block of the Precambrian Shield. There is a slight increase in altitude for the general land surface from west to east over the area covered by these reserves, from 300 m at Yorkrakine Rock Nature Reserve to 330 m at North Bungulla. However the granite tor, York­ rakine Hill, is the highest point at 341 m above mean sea level. In spite of their proximity to each other these reserves have quite different soil and vegetation. YORKRAKINE ROCK NATURE RESERVE (No. 23586) Yorkrakine Rock Nature Reserve (31°26'S, 117°31'E) is situated 20 km north of Tammin. It occupies Avon location 27483 and has an area of 158 ha. The reserve is dominated by Yorkrakine Hill, a granite tor which is a well known landmark in the Shire of Tammin.
