  • Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and His Exploration of Australia Felix
    Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and Australia Felix Rod Bird Red Gum Festival, Cavendish 14 April 2018 1 Cavendish Red Gum Festival (13-15 April 2018) Anthony Watt, a committee member for the festival, asked me if I would provide an introduction to the forum by presenting Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and his exploration of Australia Felix. Anthony expressed a wish for me to deal with the River Red Gum in SW Victoria and the Major’s journey of exploration in 1836. He was clearly also interested in a theatrical presentation, assuring me that he would be able to borrow a suitable costume for the occasion from the Harrow Sound and Light Show! This short discourse is not the theatrical performance at Cavendish on the 14th of April 2018, where a major part was an impression of the good Major through a variety of sources, including his second-in- command Granville Stapylton, and the presentation of images of some of our majestic River Red Gum giants. It is a rather more sober (but hardly in-depth) presentation of the man and his explorations in eastern Australia – it is simply an introduction to the man and the legend for those who know little of him and his accomplishments. I have also presented here photographs of many of the plants that Mitchell saw and collected on his journey through south-west Victoria. Lastly, in this article I draw attention to the nature of the ‘soft’ and wet landscapes through which Mitchell’s bullocks toiled with their heavy drays – and how that has changed following settlement.

  • Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information Availability, Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs
    Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information availability, knowledge gaps and research needs Bradley J. Pusey The University of Western Australia & Jarrod Kath Western Australian Department of Water i Executive Summary The Fitzroy River is the largest river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and contains significant biological, conservation and geoheritage values. Socio/cultural values, especially Indigenous values, are significant also but are not considered here. Current land use is dominated by rangeland grazing and very limited irrigated agriculture. The water resources of the basin are significant and potentially available for expanded agricultural development but the impact on the environment of increased water use, especially of groundwater is largely unknown. The current report addresses the availability of information that could be used to guide the formation and implementation of management strategies aimed at maintaining existing values. Currently available information useful in this regard is highly limited. Moreover, available information was found to be rarely in a form (i.e. quantitative relationships between flow and environmental factors) that would enable a full assessment of the impacts of different water resource use scenarios to be undertaken. Similarly, there is limited information that could provide the basis for ongoing assessment (i.e. monitoring) of the efficacy of any imposed water management strategies. Significant knowledge gaps were identified relating to five major themes: 1. The nature of aquatic habitats in the basin and their relationship to the flow regime and groundwater and including identity, extent and distribution, connectivity and conservation value; 2. Responses of riparian, floodplain and groundwater dependent vegetation to changes in water regime; 3.

  • Consultation Guide for Salt-Wedge Estuaries Ecological Community
    Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria ecological community Consultation Guide The Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria was nominated for protection as a nationally listed ecological community under Australia’s national environment law, the EPBC Act. The nomination was accepted in 2013 and a scientific assessment is now under way. This assessment culminates in a Conservation Advice and will: • clarify what kind of estuary is covered by the proposed listing and the name and location of these estuaries; • identify what evidence shows these estuaries to be threatened; and • recommend what can be done to minimise further damage to the ecological community and help restore natural water flow regimes. This guide briefly explains the proposed listing and its implications. The draft scientific assessment, or Conservation Advice, is now available for comment. Your feedback on the proposal to list the ecological community as threatened is welcome. See back page for details of how to get consultation documents and provide your comments. Images Maps were prepared by ERIN (Environmental Resources Information Network) of the Department of the Environment and Energy. What is the ecological community? The open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria ecological community consists of the assemblage of native plants, animals and micro-organisms that are associated with the dynamic salt-wedge estuary systems found in the Mediterranean climate, microtidal regime (< 2 m) and high wave energy coastline of western and central Victoria. The ecological community occurs within 25 salt-wedge forming estuaries in the coastal region defined by the border between South Australia and Victoria (to the west) and the most southerly point of Wilsons Promontory (to the east).
