We felt that now From IN THIS EDITION the Ground Up is into its 50’s it was starting to look a little Feral Pigs squidgy around the edges and so it was probably time for After years of rumour, the presence of feral pigs a facelift. in the South East has now been confirmed FTGU was initially a collaborative promotion of land management projects that were being PAGE 3 implemented in the region as a result of funding provided by the State and Australian Governments. It still continues in this vein and is currently supported by the Australian Governments Caring for SE Field Days Our Country program and Natural Resources South East. Natural Resources South East is your one stop While things may look a little different now, we are intent that the content remain true to its shop for all natural resources information original aim of presenting “information about land management issues, programs and funding opportunities in the south east”. From the Ground Up has been published quarterly since 1999 PAGE 7 and since its inception, has focused on providing relevant, local information for landholders. Our regular contributors have always been local project staff implementing a combination of Native Veg Funding sustainable agriculture and environmental projects. The most noted being Wayne Hawthorne - Native vegetation management funding for rural our regular “Raising Your Pulse” author - who has never missed an edition from 1999! I’d like to landholders take this opportunity to thank Wayne and all our regular contributors, the original editorial team PAGE 8 of Donna Bartsch, Melissa Hunter, Ben Bruce and Bryan Haywood and you the reader for creating, supporting and helping this small local tradition continue.

Ken Baker Cross-border Community Nursery & Seed Collections Project Co-Ordinator Hello everyone. In February I took on the job of coordinating the Cross-border Community Nursery & Seed Collections Project for Nature Glenelg Trust, having taken over from the very talented Becky McCann. The focus of this Project is working with and supporting native seed collectors, growers, direct seeding contractors, and anyone else with an interest in revegetation across South East South Australia and Victoria’s South West. The aim is to improve the diversity of plants available to revegetation projects in the area. I have recently moved down from Coonabarabran NSW, where I was the Regional Landcare Facilitator for the East Namoi. I’ve previously worked on a wide range of NRM projects in various parts of Australia including water quality in the Border River’s catchment of NSW/QLD, Shorebirds and feral cats on King Island and riparian revegetation in South West Victoria. I am really looking forward to working with Becky and other NGT staff and supporters and getting out and meeting everyone involved in creating productive and biodiverse local landscapes. You can contact me by phone 0437 597 685 or email: [email protected]. Michael Dent On Ground Works Officer Hi there my name is Michael Dent I am the new on ground works officer at Natural Resources SE, based in Mount Gambier. For the last four years I have been working at Forestry SA in a variety of roles but mainly the research section. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Applied Science and am due to complete it by the end of 2013. My role at DEWNR is in the Sustainable Landscapes Team and my role will include undertaking field works such as weed control and revegetation for a number of sites. I will also be involved with Kalangadoo and Penola primary and Millicent High schools helping out with their plant propagation programs. I am really enjoying my role so far and am looking forward to continuing my work. You can contact me on (08) 8735 1177 or email [email protected]. Libby Mapletoft Fire Management Officer I am very excited to have joined Natural Resources SE and to be living and working in the South East having recently moved from the Adelaide Hills. My passion for the environment led me to return to university to study Environmental Science and undertake a mid-life career change. Having recently completed my degree, I have taken up the position of Fire Management Officer. I will be working with the Regional Fire Management Officer, Kay Richardson, to plan and implement our prescribed burn program designed to conserve and protect our remnant bushland in the numerous parks throughout the South-East. We will also be monitoring the effects of fire to increase our knowledge base of how Australian flora and fauna respond to fire. You can contact me on (08) 8735 1177 or email [email protected]. FROM THE GROUND UP FROM GROUND ACT NOW for effective rabbit management The current combination of high temperatures, minimal breeding and low feed resources are ideal to aid in the effective management of rabbit populations. Undertaking an integrated program during the warmer months (Nov – Apr) involving monitoring, baiting, warren destruction and follow-up will help to achieve the greatest impact on rabbit numbers. Monitoring will help to assess the size and location of your rabbit populations so you can undertake targeted management, continued monitoring will also help to assess the effectiveness of your management program. Free feeding is an essential component of a baiting program and should be conducted at least 3 times with a space of 2-3 days between feeds. Free feeding aids in rabbits overcoming their fear of a new food source and also helps you to assess the amount of rabbits through observing bait take. Poison baiting, typically conducted with 1080 treated bait, should be laid within 3 days of the last free feed, preferably in the early morning or evening to limit bait take by other animals eg birds and kangaroos. Do not lay poison baits if rain is expected. The warren is the key to a rabbits survival, so eliminating it will significantly contribute to your overall management program and achieving long term control. Depending on the size of your problem, you should match your implement or machinery to the task. Before undertaking any warren destruction, ensure you consider issues like cable/service locations (contact 1100 - Dial Before you Dig) and vegetation clearance. You may need to contact Natural Resources South East, your local Council and the Native Vegetation Council for advice. Multiple trails may be needed to ensure enough bait is laid, Photo I Qualmann Natural Resources South East Authorised Officers can provide a range of services, equipment Feral pigs are extremely destructive to both material in the cages is non-toxic fermented agricultural and environmental systems and grain, fruit or vegetable.

After two years of uncertainty, the council-owned cattle selling facility was saved from permanent closure after elected members backed a motion to keep the gates open conditional on the yards maintaining a yearly throughput of 8500. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, elected members resumed discussion on a motion by cattle producer and Councillor Moira Neagle to continue the operations of the facility until 2025, de- velop a management plan for the faculty and consider recurrent funding for capi- tal upgrades. But Penola-based Rick Paltridge - who has been a vocal opponent of continuing the saleyards - told the chamber he had spoken to “numerous people around the region” including stock agents, truck drivers, meat buyers and farmers who he claimed believed the saleyards should be closed down.

  • Historic Earthquake Studies-Safinal
    Historical earthquakes in South Australia Kevin McCue CQU Rockhampton, Queensland Abstract Three earthquakes have etched themselves into the collective memories of South Australians, the damaging 1897 Kingston-Beachport, 1902 (so-called) Warooka and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes but thousands more earthquakes in SA have been recorded since 1954, or were reported before the first seismograph was installed in Adelaide on 26 June 1909. The 1902 and 1954 earthquakes damaged buildings in Adelaide as did an earthquake in 1840 just after the city was born. Chimneys in Burra were knocked down in an earthquake in 1896. On average, between one and two earthquakes per month are reported felt in South Australia today (Alison Wallace – pers. comm.), but only half of these would be reported by the media which is a useful yardstick for historical studies such as this report. Several hundred earthquakes felt in Australia have been documented in three volumes of the Isoseismal Atlas of Australia and by Malpas (1993) and others but sources have not yet been exhausted as is demonstrated with new information on 51 felt earthquakes, many of which have not had a magnitude and location tabulated before. An earthquake in 1911 previously assigned to the Eyre Peninsula has been relocated to Gulf St Vincent, an example of an interesting feature of SA seismicity; the occasional almost simultaneous occurrence of earthquakes in different parts of the state. The combined Modified Mercalli intensity dataset has been used to make an earthquake hazard assessment for Adelaide, the result is in the same ballpark as that of Christchurch New Zealand, of the order of a thousand years return period for a destructive earthquake.

  • Large Mammals Except Cave-Bears from the Loutra Almopias Cave, Late Pleistocene, Macedonia, Greece 123-147 Berichte Der Geologischen Bundesanstalt 132
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Berichte der Geologischen Bundesanstalt Jahr/Year: 2019 Band/Volume: 132 Autor(en)/Author(s): Nagel Doris, Pacher Martina, Tsoukala Evangelia Artikel/Article: Large mammals except cave-bears from the Loutra Almopias Cave, Late Pleistocene, Macedonia, Greece 123-147 Berichte der Geologischen Bundesanstalt 132 Large mammals except cave-bears from the Loutra Almopias Cave, Late Pleistocene, Macedonia, Greece Doris Nagel 1, Martina Pacher 1 & Evangelia Tsoukala 2 Abstract Excavations in the Loutra Almopias cave yielded a large amount of different vertebrate taxa assigned to two different time horizons. Here we describe the carnivores, with the exception of the cave bear, and herbivores found in the cave. Special focus lies on the mustelids, not evaluated previously, and the comparison of leopard, hyena and chamois. The composition of the mustelids in the isolated chamber Ia confirms its chronological assignment into the Late Glacial, while most of the larger mammals, such as Crocuta, Panthera and Rupicapra, fit into the time before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Zusammenfassung Die Grabungen in der Loutra Almopias Höhle ergaben eine große Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Ver- tebraten, die zwei verschiedenen Zeithorizonten zugeordnet werden. Wir beschreiben hier die Car- nivora, mit Ausnahme des Höhlenbären, und die Herbivoren aus der Höhle. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den bis jetzt unbearbeiteten Musteliden, sowie auf dem morphologischen Vergleich der Hyäne, des Leoparden und der Gämse. Die Zusammensetzung der Musteliden aus der isolierten Kammer Ia bestätigt die zeitliche Einstufung in das Spätglazial, während die meisten Großsäuger, wie Crocuta, Panthera und Rupicapra, in die Zeit vor dem letzten Vereisungshöhepunkt im Glazcial (LGM) zu stellen sind.
