A Review of Literature on Ironbark Ridges and Associated Lands ~ Barry Craze ~ A REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON IRONBARK RIDGES AND ASSOCIATED LANDS by Barry Craze and Jim Salmon 2004 FOREWORD This report is dedicated to the memory of Jim Salmon and Barry Craze. It is the last publication that they both researched and wrote before they became ill. Jim and Barry devoted a great deal of their careers to the conservation of soil and the natural environment, and through this report they pass on the wealth of knowledge they both possessed on soils and the management of ironbark country in New South Wales. The text in this book is unchanged from what Jim and Barry originally compiled by the late 1990s. However, most of their original photos that were to be used in the book were lost and have been replaced by new ones. ~ Jim Salmon ~ Jim Salmon was born in Echuca on 30 May 1952 and moved with his parents to Wagga at the age of five. After schooling in Wagga Wagga, he attended Wagga Agricultural College where he graduated with a Diploma of Agriculture. Jim started work with the Soil Conservation Service on 2 June 1974 at Parkes with Kevin McPhee, who was then the District Soil Conservationist. After training with Kevin, Jim was transferred to the job of District Soil Conservationist in Temora on 18 July 1977. It was at Temora that Jim met Helen Hawkins. They married in January 1980 and his three sons David, Scott and Jason were born there in the five years that followed. In September 1989, he took up a property planning position at Temora which he did until May 1993, when he transferred to the Temora District Manager position after David Priem moved to Gundagai. Jim stayed in that position (or variations of it) until he medically retired on 19 July 2002. Sadly, Jim lost his battle with melanoma and passed away on 5 September 2002. During his career, Jim devoted time and effort to finding practical ways to improve the management of ironbark ridge country in the Temora district. He pioneered the development of rose clover to increase groundcover and improve production on ironbark country. He designed and surveyed hundreds of kilometres of graded banks and waterways to control soil erosion and drainage problems. Jim promoted conservation farming techniques throughout the Temora district through trail sites, field days, and collaborative work with the CSIRO, NSW Agriculture and Landcare. He improved farm water supplies on many farms and helped landholders implement soil conservation works by accessing funds through the NSW Rural Assistance Authority. Jim wrote several publications for the management of ironbark country and encouraged landholders to enhance and protect native vegetation on their properties. Jim was a ‘doer’ who was interested only in practical solutions. He was not a fan of too much planning and bureaucracy so was often ‘cutting through the crap’ whether it was in his professional or personal life. His mechanical aptitude was better known than his nickname ‘Steptoe’. He could fix most things and find a use for others’ ‘rubbish’, a true conservationist at heart. Jim’s contagious confidence and ability to translate the needs of the landscape into simple language ensured that he translated practical concepts into positive implementation. Substantial changes in landuse have occurred in the Temora District since 1977, much of it attributable to Jim’s advice and dedication. A Review of Literature on Ironbark Ridges and Associated Lands ~ Barry Craze ~ Barry Craze was born in Henty on 20 September 1946. After schooling in Wagga Wagga, he attended the University of Sydney where he graduated in 1969 with an Agricultural Science Degree majoring in Soil Science. At the University of Sydney, he worked with Dr Brian Davey on improving the methods of measuring soil pH. While working with Dr Davey, he was one of the first soil scientists in NSW to use the measurement of soil pH in calcium chloride to estimate soil acidity. This is now the standard method. He commenced work with the Soil Conservation Service at the Cowra Research Centre in 1969 working with Laurie McCathrey, Des Lang and later with Ian Packer and Greg Hamilton. While stationed at Cowra, Barry worked closely with Rosemary Doust in the development of laboratory soil testing procedures as well as conducting several soil surveys in the Lachlan Valley including a survey for the Forbes Shire. He wrote many publications on soil chemistry and was one of the initial members of the editorial committee for the Australian Laboratory Handbook of Soil and Water Chemical Methods (1992). He moved to the Wellington Research Centre in 1985 as a Soils Research Officer and established many of the automated soil sampling procedures in the laboratory for the new state wide Soil Survey Unit which was being developed by John Lawrie. As well as laboratory work, he was the technical editor for the Soil Survey Unit’s Soil Landscape Reports from 1990 to 1997 and was a joint author for a chapter on soil physical properties in the departmental publication Soils: Their Properties and Management. Barry later relocated to the Wellington District Office where he worked on the soil database until he took medical retirement in April 1999. Sadly, Barry passed away in February 2000. During his career, Barry became an expert in mine reclamation due to his extensive work at Captains Flat and was one of the few Soil Conservation Service staff who was instrumental in sampling soils across NSW along the main natural gas pipeline route. He was also instrumental in setting up standard soil chemistry laboratory testing methods and automated procedures at both Cowra and Wellington Research Centres, particularly to handle the many samples taken along the natural gas pipeline route. Barry was a mine of information on soil science and, if he did not know the answer to a question or problem, he knew where to go to find a solution. Outside work, Barry was a dedicated family man and involved himself in a variety of interests. His interests in sailing, photography, native plants and local history were some of the things he enjoyed over the years, with one notable accomplishment as the author of a book on the local history of Cowra.

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Homoranthus Darwinioides
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Homoranthus darwinioides This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Homoranthus darwinioides, Family Myrtaceae, is a spreading shrub growing to 1.5 m high. Leaves are linear, 2–5 mm long and less than 1 mm wide. Flower heads hang downwards and consist of two flowers on a stalk. Bracteoles (floral bracts) are often present at flowering. Sepals are 1.5 mm long with up to 10 laciniate (deeply slashed) lobes at the apex. The style is 8–10 mm long (Craven & Jones, 1991; Harden, 2002). Conservation Status Homoranthus darwinioides is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Homoranthus darwinioides is also listed as vulnerable under Schedule 2 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Homoranthus darwinioides occurs in several populations in Goulburn River National Park and two populations in Goonoo State Forest in NSW (Craven & Jones, 1991; Copeland et al., 2007). Older records outside of these locations have not been confirmed recently and populations in Wollemi National Park are presumed extinct (Althofer, 1983). Homoranthus darwinioides occurs in thin sandy soil on sandstone outcrops and sloping ridges.
