Then join Penny Paton for a plant identification workshop in spring 2007. The first event is being organised in conjunction with the Mt Pleasant Natural Resource Centre on Wednesday 3 October 2007. We will start at Mt Pleasant Natural Resource Centre at 9.30am with a little theory on how to identify plants, as well as look at some of the better identification guides, and then move to Cromer Conservation Park adorned in all its spring splendour. Cromer is an example of a grassy woodland in quite good condition, with several different vegetation communities. The predominant trees are River red gum, SA blue gum, Long-leaved box and Manna gum, with patches of Silver Banksia and Native cherry. The understorey varies from an open woodland with a diverse array of lilies, daisies, orchids and grasses to a more heathy understorey, where Yaccas, Hakeas and Acacias predominate. We will finish at 1pm with an opportunity to stay and enjoy your lunch in the Park if you wish and the weather is propitious. The second plant identification workshop will take place on Tuesday 16th October to the south of Adelaide at an, as yet, unknown location. I was hoping that participants would nominate a site where they were interested in knowing more about the plants and am still waiting… If I don’t ScentedDrosera sundew whittakeri Drosera ssp whittakeri whittakeri ssp get any takers then I will nominate the site, possibly Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park. This will whittakeri (Photo: Lydia Paton) be a half-day workshop too beginning at 10am. Photo: Lydia Paton Bring stout water-proof walking boots, warm clothing, a waterproof jacket, hat or beanie depending on the weather, a drink and lunch (if you wish). Optional: a notebook, pen and any field guides/plant identification books that you already have. The MLR Grassy Woodland Network is running a workshop on habitat restoration in the Port Elliot district. The Network is working with landowners near Port Elliott who have a property they wish to revegetate/restore. This first workshop in the series will be a planning exercise involving: assessment of the site for landforms, soils, remnant vegetation; looking for remnant vegetation in the vicinity and listing native plants as well as structure of the vegetation; and planning the restoration of the site based on what we find out from the first two steps (including staging restoration over a number of years). The date for this workshop is Tuesday 18th September 2007 and it will run for the whole day. Please contact our Temperate Woodlands Campaigner, Penny Paton to register your interest for these free workshops.

  • The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
    B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel.

  • The Elliston Incident
    Recalling the Elliston Incident In 1992 the artist Siv Grava supervised members of the Elliston com- munity in a search for images to represent the district’s life and culture on the walls of both the Community Agricultural Hall and the public conveniences on the foreshore, producing one of South Australia’s biggest and most distinctive murals. The community found historical, agricultural, fishing and sporting images to celebrate this west coast country town’s sense of what matters. On the north-western side of the building, around the back, is a representation of an Indigenous family standing on a cliff top staring out at the sun setting on Waterloo Bay. At their feet are shells, suggesting the dozens of middens and campsites that still can be found along the coast. The image hints at a number of narratives. Only a small percentage of the wall space of the building is given over to representations of Indigenous experience. The family stands on a cliff edge at sunset, the prosaic nineteenth-century trope encouraging the viewer to accept the idea that the Aborigines have had their day. By 1992, the image suggests, the traces in this country of the Nauo, the Wirangu and the Kukutha are as fragile and transitory as the middens they have left behind. They belong to a pre-history, they survive only as fragile archaeological evidence in the shifting sands. The image of Aboriginal people on a cliff edge hints at popular memories of a series of events in the history of the Elliston district. There still circulates on the west coast (and beyond) shadowy, incom- plete fragments of a local legend about Indigenous people driven to their deaths over a cliff near Elliston as payback for the murders of two or three settlers.
