The riparian fl ora and plant communities of the Pilbara region of Western Australia M.N. Lyons Department of Parks and Wildlife, Science and Conservation Division, Kieran McNamara Conservation Science Centre, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract – A survey of riparian fl ora and plant communities was undertaken at 98 wetlands and rivers in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Sampling was quadrat-based, with fl oristics, surface soils and wetland attributes recorded. Selected sites captured the full range of Pilbara wetland types including springs, river pools, claypans, salt marshes and rock pools. A total of 455 taxa was recorded from the survey sites, representing ca. 25% of the known fl ora of the Pilbara bioregion. The fl ora is dominated by taxa with Eremaean and tropical affi nities, with only six taxa endemic in the region. Of recorded taxa known from four or fewer bioregions, most are shared with the adjacent Carnarvon and Gascoyne bioregions rather than the adjoining internally draining deserts. Sixteen taxa of conservation signifi cance were documented, with claypans, the Fortescue Marsh, and Millstream and Karijini National Park sites dominating occurrences of rare species. Eight major groups were defi ned by classifying wetlands in terms of species presence/absence data. Floristic patterning was strongly aligned with the major wetland types (geomorphic/hydrological) used in the primary sampling stratifi cation. A combination of wetland morphology/hydrological setting, site edaphic attributes and distance to the coast were dominant variables related to riparian fl oristic composition.

Pet owners from the local community banded together on Sunday to take advantage of the RSPCA fundraising, fun day to treat their canine buddies to a day out, equal in status to Mothers Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, or any other annually celebrated event - a day just for doggies! The Coober Pedy Paws Team were Anita Dunstan, Jayde Frew, Casey Frew, Tracey Gordon, Nicole Harry, Nick Lomman, Stacey Mibus and Michelle Riha who together with friends and supporters led off Coober Pedy’s first Million Dollar Paws Walk. Nicole Harry who coordinated the Coober Pedy Million Paws fundraising effort said she was extremely proud that her up and coming hotshot pup ‘Stuart John’ had been deputised by our home grown celebrity dog-reporter Charlie Paris before her departure for the opening of the Port Augusta Million Paws Walk. Congratulation to Nicole and the team for raising $1,091.63 and becoming the third highest Team fundraiser in South Australia.
