The Tuross River Story MEDIA RELEASE 21 December 2012 The Tuross River Story Bodalla Public School (BPS) students with parents, grandparents, carers, family members and guests recently celebrated the official launch of Ngadjung gadhu-ya (Fresh water to salt water) – A Tuross River Story. Earlier this year 26 BPS students from years 5 and 6 participated in a research excursion organised by Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA) as part of an education program to assist children to learn more about local catchments – plants, animals, Aboriginal culture and heritage, industries and history. Southern Rivers CMA catchment officer, Karen Lee said the children worked as a team during the last term to produce the book about the Tuross River and surrounding catchment which is written in English and the local Aboriginal Dhurga language. “The children put an enormous amount of effort into researching and writing the book which demonstrates their appreciation and sense of stewardship of the catchment. They wrote about the importance of protecting this precious resource and maintaining the Indigenous culture associated with it. “The Tuross River Story starts high in the Kybeyan, near Cooma and finishes with the River’s journey at Tuross Head on the coast.” The school was presented with an award at the book launch from the office of the Member for Bega, Andrew Constance MP for its participation in the project. Principal, Therese Aston said the book’s production was a valuable and enriching experience for the students. “Since becoming involved in the book initiative the school will now include in its curriculum more Aboriginal culture and heritage activities and excursions. “The children have created an important resource for future students and the wider community.” Copies of the book can be purchased through BPS when school resumes in 2013 by contacting 02 4473 5257. It will also be available for sale in local shops. The money raised from book sales will fund its further publication. Ngadjung gadhu-ya ( Fresh water to salt water) – A Tuross River Story is the fourth book to be published as part of Southern Rivers CMA’s “Protect our future – protect our river” book initiative. Others in the series include The Bhunduu – The Clyde River Story by Batemans Bay Public School, The Deua – A Moruya River Story by Moruya Public School and Noreech nundjung - A Wagonga Inlet Story by Narooma Public School. The project is supported by The Australian Government’s Caring for our Country initiative and NSW Government through Catchment Action NSW. ***ENDS*** …/2 Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority Level 1, 84 Crown Street, Wollongong, NSW, 2500 PO Box 3095, Wollongong East, NSW, 2500 Tel: 02 4224 9700 Fax: 02 4224 9669 www.southern.cma.nsw.gov.au - 2 - Image: At the launch of Ngadjung gadju-ya – A Tuross River Story: School Education Director – Batemans Bay, Bob Aston presents a certificate to Bodalla Public School student Kara Jones for participating in Southern Rivers CMA’s “Protect our future – protect our river” book initiative.

    Holocene Geomorphology of the Macdonald and Tuross Rivers Paul Rustomji A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The Australian National University November 2003 °c Paul Rustomji Typeset in Times by TEX and LATEX 2ε. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own original work. Paul Rustomji 18 November 2003 To Ely . Go E . Go! Acknowledgements In producing this thesis I am indebted to many folk who have kindly helped along the way. My supervisors John Chappell and Ian Prosser were both generous with their ideas and patience. Ian was a consistent source of encouragement and support through the inevitable ups and downs of PhD research. John Chappell greatly assisted in coalescing what seemed like a swirling confusion of observations into a thesis and was ever ready with a salient geomorphic example from some exotic location to correct twisted thinking. Jon Olley deserves a special mention of thanks. Without his generous offer to provide luminescence dates, as well as his continuing encouragement, this thesis would never have been completed. Chris Leslie, Jacqui Olley and Ken MacMillan are also thanked for contributing to the luminescence dating. Damien Kelleher is truly a man worth his weight in gold. Always good company in the field, his expertise in sediment core drilling is unsurpassed and my sincerest thanks are extended to him for his efforts. Damien, along with Abaz Alimanovic, also performed the radiocarbon dating in thesis. Those who assisted in the fieldwork and put up with droughts, bushfires, snakes, stink- ing hot weather all on top of any trouble I might have caused included Martin Weisse, Chuck Magee, Paul Treble, Toshi Fujioka, Thomas Schambron, Martin Smith and Si- mon Mockler.

  • Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast
    Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast D Wiecek 1, R Laine 1, M Edmonds 2, and S Pickering 3 1 NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Wollongong, NSW 2 Eurobodalla Shire Council, NSW 3 Shoalhaven City Council, NSW Abstract Working with Councils to gain an improved understanding of the ecosystem health of estuaries is a key objective of the NSW Government Estuary Management Program, administered by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). A well designed monitoring program can provide this understanding. Over the past few years both Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils have embarked on additional estuary monitoring to enable them to provide baseline information on the ecosystem health of their respective estuaries. This information will also be used to help evaluate and report on the implementation of their estuary management plans (now termed coastal zone management plans), as well as inform ongoing management directions. Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils’ estuary monitoring programs have historically centred on pressure indicators such as nutrients and/or bacterial sampling. Although very useful in monitoring pollution sources and recreational swimming quality, this has not provided Council with information sufficient to determine whether estuary ecosystem health is declining, being maintained or improving through initiatives such as implementation of estuary management plans. Both Councils recognised the need to modify their existing programs to fill this information gap in a scientifically robust and consistent manner. They now have two years of monitoring completed broadly in line with the monitoring and reporting protocols of the NSW Government Natural Resources Monitoring, Reporting and Evaluation (MER) Program (estuary theme).

By KEITH C. McKEOWN, Assistant Entomologist, The Australian Museum. THE accompanying paper embodies the results of the investigation into the food of trout in New South Wales carried out during the season 1935-1936, and gives details of the stomach contents of 108 Rainbow Trout (Salmo irideus Gibbons) and 72 Brown Trout (Salmo tario Linnams). The information obtained in the course of the season's work forms a valuable addition to our knowledge of the varied forms of life which constitute the diet of the fish in those inland waters from which it was possible to obtain material for examination. Members of the Rod Fishers' Society of New South Wales again ably assisted in securing and submitting stomachs from the fish caught, and by their encouragement and co-operation have rendered the investigation possible. It is, however, somewhat disappointing that so few streams are represented, in spite of repeated requests for material from new localities, especially as the information which could have been obtained from such sources would have been of undoubted value in estimating the relative suitability of these waters for future liberation of fry.
