    100 THE SOUTH-WEST CORNER OF QUEENSLAND. (By S. E. PEARSON). (Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, August 27, 1937). On a clear day, looking westward across the channels of the Mulligan River from the gravelly tableland behind Annandale Homestead, in south­ western Queensland, one may discern a long low line of drift-top sandhills. Round more than half the skyline the rim of earth may be likened to the ocean. There is no break in any part of the horizon; not a landmark, not a tree. Should anyone chance to stand on those gravelly rises when the sun was peeping above the eastem skyline they would witness a scene that would carry the mind at once to the far-flung horizons of the Sahara. In the sunrise that western region is overhung by rose-tinted haze, and in the valleys lie the purple shadows that are peculiar to the waste places of the earth. Those naked, drift- top sanddunes beyond the Mulligan mark the limit of human occupation. Washed crimson by the rising sun they are set Kke gleaming fangs in the desert's jaws. The Explorers. The first white men to penetrate that line of sand- dunes, in south-western Queensland, were Captain Charles Sturt and his party, in September, 1845. They had crossed the stony country that lies between the Cooper and the Diamantina—afterwards known as Sturt's Stony Desert; and afterwards, by the way, occupied in 1880, as fair cattle-grazing country, by the Broad brothers of Sydney (Andrew and James) under the run name of Goyder's Lagoon—and the ex­ plorers actually crossed the latter watercourse with­ out knowing it to be a river, for in that vicinity Sturt describes it as "a great earthy plain." For forty miles one meets with black, sundried soil and dismal wilted polygonum bushes in a dry season, and forty miles of hock-deep mud, water, and flowering swamp-plants in a wet one.

Lake Nash Breeder Herd Efficiency Project Abstract This study involved monitoring both breeder cow performance and pasture quality on the Barkly Tableland. It was designed to provide producers in the region with practical strategies to evaluate both livestock and pasture performance over a wide range of seasonal conditions. The study was able to highlight the losses that may be occurring annually between pregnancy diagnosis and weaning (approx 17%), and the pasture sampling techniques employed (NIRS) will be of great benefit to producers who wish to target their supplementation programs. The significance of the more common reproductive diseases in the regions has been documented and the beef industry will be confident in the management and expenditure on control programmes for these diseases – especially on the Barkly Tableland.

Since 1894 my tenure of office as Surgeon to the Boulia, Cloncurry, and Normanton Hospitals, respectively, has afforded unrivalled opportunities for making inquiry- into the language, customs, and habits of the North-West- Central Queensland aboriginals. The following pages embody the notes collected during that period. At Boulia, where strictly professional work was conspicuous by its absence, almost my whole time was devoted to a careful study of the local (Pitta-Pitta) language : only when this was sufficiently mastered did I find it possible to understand the complex system of social and individual nomenclature in vogue^ and ultimately to gain such amount of confidence and trust among the natives as enabled me to obtain information concerning various superstitions, beliefs, and ceremonial rites which otherwise would in aU probability have been withheld.

This year the Council has approached the preparation of the plan with an emphasis on delivering services that the community is seeking and then defining the service levels to be delivered. This might sound like a fundamental and logical approach, and it is. The process has meant that Elected Members and staff have had a good look at what the Council has been doing in recent years, assessing what the community has had to say and settling on a Plan and Budget that reflects community expectations. This process has involved input from the various Local Authorities, submissions from individuals and organisations as well as suggestions from Elected Members and Council staff. The Council has conducted planning workshops and special budget meetings to review and refine the Regional Plan prior to the Draft Plan being open for public comment. The Council is committed to having a long-term strategic plan and to delivering programs that the community expect. Delivering conventional or core municipal services to an acceptable standard is a priority but with limited discretionary funds that can be a challenge, having said that, I am confident that the Regional Plan is targeted at quality service delivery.
