  • Monsoon Vine Thickets of the Dampier Peninsula a Summary of Key Findings from the Broome Botanical Society Introduction
    Monsoon Vine Thickets of the Dampier Peninsula A Summary of Key Findings from the Broome Botanical Society Introduction Australian rainforests are fragmented and have a limited range. In the Kimberley, there are only about 7000 hectares of rainforests, less than 0.0001% of the region, yet they contain around 25% of the Kimberley’s plant species. Monsoon vine thickets are just one of many different types Dampier Peninsula of rainforest in Australia, and the network of vine thickets on the Dampier Peninsula forms the southern limit of Derby rainforest in Western Australia. Broome Monsoon vine thickets are culturally significant for Traditional Owners. They are important sources of seasonal fruits and berries, yams, carving timber, Exmouth medicines and accessible ground water. Some vine thicket patches contain culturally sensitive law-grounds. In contrast to other Kimberley and Northern Australian monsoon vine thickets, the Dampier Peninsula’s monsoon vine thickets contain different arrangements of plants and are uniquely found behind and within the swales of coastal sand dunes. Vine thickets are not known to occur where the annual rainfall drops below 600mm. The trees and vines create a dense, shady and protective canopy and are more humid than the open woodlands around them. Monsoon vine thickets are a refuge for many plants and animals and despite only covering less than one tenth of one percent of the Dampier Peninsula they contain nearly a quarter of all plant species found here. Monsoon vine thicket plants depend on frugivorous (fruit-eating) birds, bats and wallabies eating and digesting the seeds and spreading them from one patch to the next.

  • A Better Road for Broome B
    A BETTE NG R DI S L TA I T U E A better road for Broome B O U A I R L P A R L T AN S The Broome-Cape Leveque Road is the main transport link through the Dampier Peninsula FO AU R WESTERN providing essential access to Aboriginal communities, pastoral stations, pearling industries and tourist destinations. The Liberal Government will seal the remaining unsealed sections of road, ensuring there is year-long safe passage along its entire length and creating major new tourism opportunities for Broome operators and Aboriginal cultural tourism. The Liberals support the continued growth of the Western Australian economy by improving the efficiency, safety and reliability of regional roads. Fast Facts • The Broome-Cape Leveque Road is approximately 200km long and provides access to the major Aboriginal communities of Beagle Bay, Lombadina, Djarindjin and One Arm Point, which have an estimated combined population of around 1200 people, as well as many smaller Aboriginal communities. • Between 2002 and 2007 the northernmost 100km section of the road was upgraded and sealed. • Approximatly 90km of the road remains unsealed and has deteriorated, becoming depressed, badly corrugated and potholed, making the road hazardous and subject to lengthy closures during the wet season. • A sealed all-weather road will improve safety, accessibility and operational efficiencies. Opening Opportunities The Dampier Peninsula is an extraordinary place with beaches, unique woodlands, tidal flats and mangrove creeks. Its waters are home to turtles, dugongs, dolphins and whales. Sealing the road will give tourists from Broome safe access to new tourism experiences; gradually open opportunities for Aboriginal communities along the Dampier Peninsula and One Arm Point; and support existing accommodation and cultural tourism enterprises.

  • Kimberley: a Region in Profile 2014 Foreword
    Kimberley: a region in profile 2014 Foreword Kimberley: a region in profile was prepared by the Department of Regional Development in conjunction with the Kimberley Development Commission to provide a snapshot of the region’s economy. The Kimberley region is a northern jewel. The region produces 90 per cent of the world’s pink diamonds and world-class beef, possesses a number of famous natural attractions, while the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project is unlocking fertile agricultural land. The Royalties for Regions program is an important State Government initiative that will allocate more than $1 billion for regional projects in 2014-15, including more than $64 million in the Kimberley region. Since it began in 2008, Royalties for Regions has allocated $4.2 billion to more than 3,500 projects across regional Western Australia. Through programs like Royalties for Regions, the State Government is increasingly investing in infrastructure and services to grow the state, including implementing major economic, social and community development projects that arise from the Regional Investment Blueprints. This publication contains the latest information available on the economic development conditions of the Kimberley region and is one of a series of nine regional economic summary documents. I invite you to read Kimberley: a region in profile and trust you will find it interesting and informative.

In this paper I use evidence from place names, cultural ties, language names, mythology, and oral histories to discuss the locations and affiliations of several contested groups in the area. Of particular interest are the Mayala and Oowini groups.
