  • Part 4 Australia Today
    Australia today In these pages you will learn about what makes this country so special. You will find out more about our culture, Part 4 our innovators and our national identity. In the world today, Australia is a dynamic business and trade partner and a respected global citizen. We value the contribution of new migrants to our country’s constant growth and renewal. Australia today The land Australia is unique in many ways. Of the world’s seven continents, Australia is the only one to be occupied by a single nation. We have the lowest population density in the world, with only two people per square kilometre. Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. It is the sixth largest country in the world. It is also the driest inhabited continent, so in most parts of Australia water is a very precious resource. Much of the land has poor soil, with only 6 per cent suitable for agriculture. The dry inland areas are called ‘the Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. outback’. There is great respect for people who live and work in these remote and harsh environments. Many of It is the sixth largest country in the world. them have become part of Australian folklore. Because Australia is such a large country, the climate varies in different parts of the continent. There are tropical regions in the north of Australia and deserts in the centre. Further south, the temperatures can change from cool winters with mountain snow, to heatwaves in summer. In addition to the six states and two mainland territories, the Australian Government also administers, as territories, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Jervis Bay Territory, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the Australian Antarctic Territory, and Norfolk Island.

    Abstracts of the Joint 10th FSU-Mote International Symposium on Fisheries Ecology & 6th International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching Oral presentations Plenary Applying Fundamental Ecological Concepts to Fisheries- Enhancement Science David B. Eggleston1*, Brandon Puckett2, Seth Theuerkauf3 1 NC State University/Center for Marine Sciences & Technology 2 North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve 3 The Nature Conservancy *[email protected]; 91963201720 Consideration of fisheries habitat availability and quality should be a central component of fisheries stock enhancement programs. Habitat carrying capacity can drive recruitment success of stocked organisms, and population bottlenecks due to some form of habitat limitation can lead to unsuccessful stocking attempts. Identification of when and where to enhance habitat and fishery stocks can be guided by similar ecological concepts. Concepts such as metapopulation and source/sink dynamics can guide quantification of population connectivity and spatiotemporal variation in demographics rates of target species. This ecological information can then feed into Geospatial Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) models that can also integrate other external drivers such as land use, socio-economic factors, and environmental characteristics. HSI models have emerged as powerful tools that integrate pertinent spatial information to guide habitat restoration efforts, and can also account for spatial variation in ecosystem service provision. We highlight an ongoing

  • Stand up for the Burrup: Saving the Largest Aboriginal Rock Art Precinct in Australia
    Stand up for the Burrup: Saving the Largest Aboriginal Rock Art Precinct in Australia JENNY GREGORY he Dampier Archipelago is situated on the remote north-west T coast of the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA), 1600 kilometres from Perth.1 The region has a tropical, semi-desert climate with temperatures ranging from 0 to 45+ degrees Celsius. Its economy is based on iron ore, gas and petroleum and in 2006 the export of Pilbara iron ore provided one-third of Australia’s export revenue. It is at the heart of the state’s current mining boom.2 The area known as the Dampier Rock Art Precinct is very large, covering a 45 km radius. It contains the 47 islands of the Dampier Archipelago and the Burrup Peninsula (formerly called Dampier Island). This is Public History Review Vol 16 (2009): 92–116 © UTSePress and the author Public History Review | Gregory Figure 1: The Dampier Archipelago Courtesy Bird and Hallam, 2006. Dampier Island is nowjoined to the mainland and is known as the Burrup Peninsula the largest of the islands in the precinct at 117 square kilometres. It is here that rock art and industry are co-located. In July 2007 the Federal Government announced that the Dampier Rock Art Precinct was to be listed on the Australian National Heritage list. The listing included much of the archipelago, but excluded the area leased by industry on the Burrup Peninsula. This article examines the complex background to this listing. Firstly, assuming that readers may not be familiar with the region or the rock art, and drawing on the work of archaeologists, the nature of the rock art in the area is outlined.

  • Parte 4 Australia En La Actualidad
    Parte 4 Australia en la actualidad Australia es una de las masas terrestres más antiguas del mundo. Es el sexto país más extenso del mundo. 38 Ciudadanía australiana: Nuestro vínculo común Australia en la actualidad A continuación leerá lo que hace a Australia un país tan especial. Aprenderá más acerca de nuestra cultura, sobre australianos innovadores y nuestra identidad nacional. En el mundo actual, Australia es un dinámico socio comercial y mercantil así como también un ciudadano global digno de respeto. Valoramos el aporte de los nuevos inmigrantes al constante crecimiento y revitalización de nuestro país. Territorio Australia es única en muchos aspectos. De los siete continentes del mundo, Australia es el único que se encuentra ocupado por una sola nación. Tenemos la densidad poblacional más baja del mundo: solamente dos habitantes por kilómetro cuadrado. Australia es una de las masas terrestres más antiguas del mundo. Es el sexto país más grande del mundo. Es también el continente poblado más árido del mundo, así es que en la mayor parte de Australia el agua es un recurso muy preciado. Gran parte del territorio se caracteriza por un suelo árido donde solamente el 6 por ciento es adecuado para la agricultura. A las regiones áridas en el interior del país se les denomina “the outback”. Las personas que viven y trabajan en este entorno escabroso y apartado inspiran un gran respeto. Muchas de ellas han llegado a formar parte del folklore australiano. Debido a la gran extensión de Australia, el clima varía en las distintas partes del continente. En el norte de Australia hay regiones tropicales mientras que en el centro hay desiertos.

Copyright: Daniel Carson | www.dcimages.org All Rights Reserved WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM FOUNDATION The Role of the WA Museum Foundation Across its six public sites, and throughout the State, the Western Australian Museum continuously delivers an astounding number of achievements over a broad range of disciplines. From numerous discoveries of new marine and terrestrial species of animals, to uncovering previously unknown information on significant shipwrecks off the vast Western Australian coast, to encouraging the knowledge and pursuit of science in our community; these are just a few of the Museum’s national and international achievements. Much of this remarkable activity is possible, in no small part to the generosity of our valued supporters. Established in 1995 the Western Australian Museum Foundation is the fundraising partner of the Western Australian Museum. As a self-funded, independent organisation, the Foundation’s primary objective is to generate sustainable financial support for the Museum. By promoting and facilitating private, charitable and corporate investment in the Museum, the Foundation plays a critical role in the encouragement of sponsorships, donations and bequests. The Foundation and its supporters recognise the significant investment of $428.3 million by the Western Australian Government to develop a world-class museum with new facilities, refurbished spaces and exciting new museum experiences.
