Larissa: I think a lot of Australians don't know that history because I know I definitely didn't until I came up into the Kimberley and then you're exposed to it. Um, and - 'cause living in a city like you - you do - you - you end up in your little bubble and your - your life and this is how things are and - and you don't step outside of that box until you either travel and then you get a little taste of it or you - you go somewhere and experience it. Cameo: Today we travel to one of Australia’s most iconic and remote regions. Located in the North-West corner of Australia, the Kimberley is famous for its spectacular scenery. Rocky outcrops, cascading waterfalls and rare plants and animals draw many visitors each year. These dramatic landscapes have also been the site of brutal and traumatic histories for Aboriginal people at the hands of White settlers. In 2004 Aboriginal people had their underlying rights to land recognized over a large swathe of the Kimberley. This recognition came under Australia’s Native Title Act, which is often touted as delivering direct benefit to Indigenous people.

  • LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Question on Notice
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Question On Notice Wednesday, 10 October 2018 1687. Hon Robin Chapple to the Minister for Environment representing the Minister for Lands In relation to the Govemment's support for carbon sequestration proj ects on Westem Australia's pastoral leases, I ask: (a) which carbon sequestration project methods approved under the Federal Government's Emissions Reduction Fund fall within the definition of 'pastoral purposes' as outlined under Westem Australia's Land Administration Act 1997; (b) when does the Govemment expect it will be in a position to start providing eligible interest holder consent for carbon sequestration projects on pastoral leases; (c) is the Govemment considering providing consent for all carbon sequestration projects that have been provisionally registered with the Emissions Reduction Fund, or only those projects that have been successful in securing contracts to supply carbon credits to tile Federal Govemment; (d) is the Govemment aware that by 1 July 2019, over 20 per cent of Westem Australian pastoral leases will have te=s that are less than 25 years, and that consequently under current legislation, pastoralists and other leaseholders will be unable to register a carbon sequestration proj ect because they require tenure of at least 25 years duration; (e) what are the names of the pastoral leases and the regions in which they are situated that, at 1 July 2019, will have 25 years or less of their terms left to run; (f) of the leases listed in (e), how many are Aboriginal-owned; (g) will the Govemment provide for leaseholders to undertake carbon sequestration proj ects of a duration of 100 years which is the intemationally accepted and compliant standard; and (h) if yes to (g), what tenure will provide for such projects? Answer (a) To date, the State of West em Australia has only formally considered the approved Human-Induced Regeneration of a Pel111anent Even-Aged Native Forest method, in te=s of consistency with 'pastoral purposes' as defmed within Part 7 of the Land Administration Act 1997.

I beg to submit, for the information of the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, my Report on the working of the Aborigines Department for the year ended 30th June, 1900, and on the general con- dition of the Aborigines throughout the State, as far as civilisation exists. The amount voted by Parliament last session for the carrying on of my duties was £8,000, which was £1,000 less than the amount voted the previous year, and also £1,000 less than the amount estimated by me to be required. The results were that, in spite of every effort on my part to keep expenditure down, at the end of the year an excess vote of £2,099 had to be asked for. I may say that, with the exception of two months of the year, the accounts had been kept by the Colonial Secretary's Departmental Accountant, and in a great measure this prevented me from having that close grip of the outgoings that I had previously when every account was kept in the Department, and this may in some way explain this large excess.

  • Economic Development in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia: a History and Dependency Theory Perspective
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND Economic Development in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia: A History and Dependency Theory Perspective A dissertation submitted by Les Sharpe For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 Abstract The focus of the research undertaken for this dissertation is the economic development of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The period studied is, approximately, the one hundred years from 1900–2000. The region has many of the characteristics of an underdeveloped area and of a low income economy. This research used dependency theory as a framework for examining the causes of underdevelopment in the Kimberley. The development that occurred in the region during the relevant period has been catalogued by the creation of a database. This has enabled the collected information to be examined and manipulated in many ways. The database has allowed the detail of development in the Kimberley to be studied with respect to time, place and type of activity. This made it possible to examine the five hypotheses proposed by A. G. Frank which he considered likely to lead to fruitful research. The detailed study of these hypotheses would not have been possible in the way described without the database. It was found that dependency theory does help to explain and understand the development experience of the Kimberley region of Western Australia during the twentieth century. This was the clear and positive result of this study. The extension to Frank’s core dependency theory, the five hypotheses, were not found to be applicable to the Kimberley region nor supported by the data.

Ellis Department of Terrestrial Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. Biologic Environmental Survey, 24–26 Wickham St, East Perth, Western Australia 6004, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The Western Australian Museum holds a vast collection of specimens representing a large portion of the 106 currently recognised taxa of dragon lizards (family Agamidae) known to occur across Australia. While the museum’s collection is dominated by Western Australian species, it also contains a selection of specimens from localities in other Australian states and a small selection from outside of Australia. Currently the museum’s collection contains 18,914 agamid specimens representing 89 of the 106 currently recognised taxa from across Australia and 27 from outside of Australia. This includes 824 type specimens representing 45 currently recognised taxa and three synonymised taxa, comprising 43 holotypes, three syntypes and 779 paratypes. Of the paratypes, a total of 43 specimens have been gifted to other collections, disposed or could not be located and are considered lost. An annotated catalogue is provided for all agamid type material currently and previously maintained in the herpetological collection of the Western Australian Museum. KEYWORDS: type specimens, holotype, syntype, paratype, dragon lizard, nomenclature. INTRODUCTION Australia was named by John Edward Gray in 1825, The Agamidae, commonly referred to as dragon Clamydosaurus kingii Gray, 1825 [now Chlamydosaurus lizards, comprises over 480 taxa worldwide, occurring kingii (Gray, 1825)].

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 18 September 2012] p5997b-5997b Mr Vincent Catania; Mr Brendon Grylls REGIONAL MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS TOWERS 492. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Minister for Regional Development: I was pleased to see that the new mobile communications tower was constructed in the Gascoyne Junction in time for the Gascoyne Junction races this year. Can the minister update the house on the government’s construction and upgrading of towers in regional areas? Mr B.J. GRYLLS replied: I thank the member for North West for the question. The regional mobile communications project has been a really important and exciting project for regional Western Australia. Gascoyne Junction, which is in the member for North West’s electorate, was 177 kilometres away from mobile coverage, which is not very good if one has a mobile in Gascoyne Junction. However, it is good now because people’s mobiles now work. For a long time places such as Gascoyne Junction were just in a black hole for mobile coverage. Obviously now we are so dependent on the internet access we get through our phones as well, and this new tower enables that to happen. Gascoyne Junction is visited by a lot of tourists. It is really important for road safety that people have access to communications when they are travelling in regional areas. This mobile phone tower helps with that as well. The project will cost $40 million over three years. It is due to create more than 113 towers across regional Western Australia. It is well leveraged with the private sector.

    Drysdale River National Park # 2: June 24 - July 8, 2007 Update 29 April 2007 Drysdale River National Park is the largest and least accessible in the Kimberley. There is no public road leading to it. There is no airstrip inside it. On previous trips, we have gone to the park via the 4WD track that passes over the Aboriginal owned Carson River Station. In July 2004, we were informed that the Aboriginal community at Kalumburu had decided to close this access. We have been told that it is open again and hope that it remains open for this trip This inaccessibility is the key to one of the park's main attractions — few introduced pests and an ecology that remains relatively undisturbed in comparison to much of the rest of Australia. The park is a paradise for birdwatchers. It is usually easy to spot freshwater crocodiles in the pools below Solea Falls. Fishing is excellent, at its best below the falls. It’s a bush paradise. Getting there is the problem. We had planned to use float planes to go into the park. Sadly, Alligator Airways did not have enough work for their float planes so they disposed of all but one and can no longer offer this service. At this point we plan to drive in via Carson River for the start of the Drysdale No. 1 trip – assuming that we can get the same permission that a private group has got. Those doing only this trip will fly in by helicopter and light aircraft and drive out in the vehicles we left at the start four weeks earlier.
