UxÜà [ÉãtÜwËá [|áàÉÜç Y|Äxá page 2 of 17 Introduction This is the story of Maria Adelaide Hall (nee Devey) who was born at Parramatta in 1840. It is also a story of events and places that influenced her life and times. Long before white people lived in the township of Manilla there were pioneers living on properties around where the town now stands. The Hall family established one such property, Cuerindi Run, in the early 1830's By 1862 the town population could almost be counted on both hands. Maria's mother and step-father were occupying the first town dwelling house erected in Manilla. By Christmas of 1862 Maria and Matthew Hall were married, and living on Cuerindi Run for over a year and a half. Her mother-in-law, Frances Hartley, was also living on the property, and therefore was on hand to assist with the impending birth of Maria's second child. At Christmas 1862, Maria's family made the journey of about six miles along the rough bridle path from their home in Manilla to visit Cuerindi Run. Maria's mother gave her the family bible which Maria's father had brought to the colony. Maria’s name was recorded on the flyleaf, and underneath was written ..

Schipper Summary Climate change and land use change are ongoing features which affect the hydrological regime by changing the rainfall partitioning into actual evapotranspiration and runoff. A data-based method has been previously developed to attribute changes in streamflow to climate and land use change. Since this method has not been often applied, a large sample attribution study by applying this method to catchments in different parts of the world will provide more insight in the water partitioning and will evaluate the attribution method. The results can be used by water managers of the studied catchments to obtain the main reason for changes in streamflow. The used method is applicable to a large sample set of catchments because it is a relatively fast method and it can provide quantitative results. The objective of this study is to apply a non-modelling attribution method to attribute changes in streamflow to climate change and land use change to a large sample set of catchments in different parts of the world and to evaluate the used method.
