It’s wingspan of over 2 metres and weight of sometimes more than 5kg makes it one of the largest eagles in the world. As the birds age they become progressively darker, until at 10 years they are a very dark brown, almost black. Indeed the birds can live for up to 40 years, and mate for life, though if a mate dies they will seek a new partner. The Wedge-tailed Eagle has long been a part of Aboriginal culture, particularly in the Kimberley and around the Murray-Darling river complex. The Eagle and Crow appear in a number of Aboriginal stories. The eagle was also hunted in some communities, and tribes would use smoke to attract raptors hopeful of catching vulnerable prey. Early farmers took the bird as a pest because of its reputation of killing lambs. Up to 30,000 birds were killed in a single year, and the endangered Tasmanian subspecies has still not recovered. Eagles are known for their excellent vision and there is a reason why. As well as binocular vision and good judgement of distance, Wedge-tailed Eagles’ eyes have bony rings which can squeeze and widen the eyeballs. This has the same effect as a camera with a telephoto lens: it enlarges the image seen by the bird. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a master of the sky and can go up to 2000m high. Incidentally, they are also quite aggressive in the air and have been known to swoop hang gliders and take down drones. Indeed, there has been an incident of a Wedgie attempting to fly off with a young boy at a bird show in central Australia. Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 2 The Rainbow Bird Egrets The recent sightings of Intermediate Egrets and Little Egrets nesting at Lake Hattah have prompted comments about the relative scarcity of such sightings in Victoria in recent years. I have been searching for both species for many years and, each time I saw an Egret, it was, until a year or two ago, invariably a Great Egret. The Intermediate Egret, in particular, is difficult to distinguish from a Great Egret unless the viewer takes the time to study the bird carefully. It has a shorter neck than the Great Egret but this is not always obvious on first sight. A camera is a great help in identifying the species. The closer inspection provided by a photo reveals the slight difference around the head area. The point of skin at the gape (the back end of the bill) stops directly below the eye – not behind it as in the Great Egret. The bill usually turns yellow and orange during breeding time but at other times it is yellow. This species, also, has plumes emanating from the breast and lower back area. The Little Egret is smaller than the other two species but this isn’t always obvious when the bird is viewed from a distance. During breeding periods, the lower bill turns black from yellow, the upper bill remains dark, the legs are black and plumes flow from the shoulder area, the breast and scapulars, as in the Intermediate Egret and, also, the mantle. The most obvious aid to identification, if they can be seen, is the two plumes that flow back from the head of the bird. These plumes are reduced to small stubs (or, often, to nothing) when the bird isn’t in breeding plumage. Allan Taylor Great Egret (in Breeding Pumage) Bare Skin behind Eye; Kinked Neck; Plumes from Scapulars Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 3 The Rainbow Bird Intermediate Egret (in Breeding Plumage) Green Skin doesn’t extend behind Eye; Pill pale Red and Orange; Plumes from Scapulars and Breast Little Egret (in Breeding Plumage) Two Plumes from Nape; Plumes (not visible on above photo) on Scapulars, Breast and Mantle; Black bill and legs Plumes from Scapulars and Breast Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 4 The Rainbow Bird Cattle Egret Nesting at Hattah Lakes The end of December, again, brings to us the spectacle of an explosion of waterbird breeding activity at Hattah lakes. This time, it is as the result of environmental watering feeding water into the lakes after a high river. In 2016, the reverse was the situation (a high river after environmental flows). In both cases, however, the result appears to be the same – birds breeding at above-average levels. The sequence of species’ breeding appears to be similar. The earlier breeders appear to be the Little Pied Cormorants and White Ibis. This year, Intermediate and Little and Great Egrets, Great Crested Grebes and Nankeen Night-herons have also bred. Last year those latter three species had young that continued to fledge after the White-necked Herons, in particular, had finished. Some Little Black Cormorant and Darter nests have been seen but, if last years’ pattern repeats itself, those species will be amongst the later breeders. A White-faced Heron nest is also present. I fancy that the odd Pied and Great Cormorant nest might exist but it is very hard to identify the nesting birds that are situated back in the dense rows of gum saplings in the shallow water that most of the birds prefer. At this date (early January) no White-necked heron or Yellow-billed Spoonbill nests have been seen but breeding may be occurring in lakes other than those I have visited. Those visited to date have been Lakes Hattah, Little Hattah and Mournpall. Allan Taylor Photo collage on next page by Allan Taylor Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 5 The Rainbow Bird Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 6 The Rainbow Bird Aboriginal Place Names I guess that we all wonder about the source of the place names that occur in our District. I have been doing a bit of research and have ascertained the following information about the aboriginal meaning of some of our regions’ towns: Boinka Flat Black Beetle Bitterang (lake) Red Boolungal Pelican Brokie (lake) She-oak Carwarp Possibly “Crow” or the sound a Raven makes Colignan The name of an aboriginal chief Coomealla Meeting Place Curlwaa Home of the wild peach (the quondong) Irymple Waterhole? Konardin (lake) Daughter Koorlong Lightwood Tree Kulkyne “kulk” – tree or wood; “kaalk” – forest or stick Merbein Originally Merebin – thought to mean “White Cliffs” Mildura “mill” meant either red or water; “dura” meant earth or rock Mournpall (lake) Sky Nandaly Fire Nip Nip (lake) Aboriginal lady’s name Ouyen Pink-eared Duck? Or Ghost Waterhole? Patchewollock “putje” – plenty; “wallah” – porcupine grass Pooncarie was originally Pooncaira but I don’t know what it means Linga A play on the Aboriginal word “lar-gni” meaning – camp of… anglicised to linger Werrimul Eagle? Or Emu? Yelta This was an aboriginal name for a small lagoon across the river from Wentworth Yelwell (lake) Echidna Millewa This was the Wiradjuri (Murrumbidgee Area) aboriginal name for the Murray River There are numerous other place names in our area which the white settlers adopted from the aboriginals here and, most probably, their exact meanings weren’t known at that time. To interpret the name, an understanding of the local aboriginal dialect might be necessary. This leads me to discuss the location of the various tribes that existed in the extended Mildura area. I have compiled a list below. Birds are in our nature February 2018 - 7 The Rainbow Bird N.S.W. From Menindee down the Darling to Avoca Station (north Parkintji/Barkinji/Bar:kendji of Wentworth) South- west of them from Popiltah in the north, Mirauira Wentworth in the south and Ral Ral (Renmark, SA) in the west (this area known by the southern mallee natives as Tar-ra) West of both Danggali/Danga:li East of Wentworth on the Murray to Euston (this area Kureinji/Keramin/Kemendoc/Yaako known as - or, possibly, the natives there were known by Yaako the southern mallee natives as - Yaako Yaako) East of Euston Mutti Mutti East of the Darling, including Mungo Barindji Victoria From SA border to near Mildura with a Ngintait very small area around the south- western corner of NSW Merbein area the explorer Blandowski called it Nyerinyeri (Nyeri Nyeri) which is confusing, because the tribe by that name existed around the Kulkyne area (see below) and other literature states that Merbein was in Ngintait territory Mildura to Chalka Creek, possibly Latje Latje / Darty Darty / Laitchi Laitchi / Walkanwani / extending across the northern Sunset Baluk-Mernen area to close to the SA border (though The Lail – Buil sub-tribe of the Wotjobaluk tribe knew the in one map this Murray Sunset area is Latje Latje people as “Baluk-Mernen” (people of the the province of the Lail-Buil sub-tribe of sandhills). The tribes west of Mildura knew the tribe Latje the Wotjobaluk tribe). Latje as Walkandwani. Around the early times of “Mildura Station” the area was known as Yerre Yerre country – again very confusing! Chalka Creek (Colignan) to Robinvale Jarri Jarri/Yerre Yerre/Yarre Yarre Around Robinvale Tati Tati/Dadi Dadi Swan Hill Area Wadi Wadi/Wati Wati From the northern Sunset Country or, Lail-Buil and the other tribes of the Wotjobalu (known as perhaps, only from Pine Plains the Malicundidj by the river tribes to their north-east) southwards.

  • Yuranga Aboriginal Network Mildura Local Aboriginal Network
    YURANGA ABORIGINAL NETWORK MILDURA LOCAL ABORIGINAL NETWORK COMMUNITY PLAN 2020 OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESPECT TELKI NGAWINGI (Latji Latji for Good Day) We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional owners of this Country and the Elders who have passed into the Dreaming and Elders present today who have survived the impacts of Colonisation. Our Elders are the Cornerstone of our communities and we pay our Respect to them, their journeys, their strength and their Resilience. If it were not for them, we would not be here. OFFICIAL The Yuranga Local Aboriginal Network in Mildura was established in 2008, as part of the then Victorian Government’s New Representative Arrangement for Aboriginal People living in Victoria. The LAN’s original Community Plan was Titled: “The Mildura Local Indigenous Network – The Yuranga Aboriginal Committee, Community Plan.” It’s overarching framework was the VIAF of the time. Local Aboriginal Networks (LANs) bring Aboriginal people together to set priorities develop community plans and improve social connection. Our Mildura LAN has an Aboriginal name, which means “bend in the river.” The LAN in Mildura has been active within the Mildura community and over the years has held a number of Projects and supported others, however we have worked with the local Mildura Rural City Council and have produced a video that sits on the AV Website. MRCC have endorsed our Community Plan and it also sits on their Website along with all of the Geographical Community Plans, as the Municipality’s first Cultural Plan. Our LAN now has approximately 212 participants and there are 39 LANs in the State of Victoria.

  • A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020
    SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER – THE WATER WAYS A thesis submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the acculturation of the Australian landscape by the First Nations people of Australia who named it, mapped it and used tangible and intangible material property in designing their laws and lore to manage the environment. This is taught through song, dance, stories, and paintings. Through the tangible and intangible knowledge there is acknowledgement of the First Nations people’s knowledge of the water flows and rivers from Carpentaria to Goolwa in South Australia as a cultural continuum and passed onto younger generations by Elders. This knowledge is remembered as storyways, songlines and trade routes along the waterways; these are mapped as a narrative through illustrations on scarred trees, the body, engravings on rocks, or earth geographical markers such as hills and physical features, and other natural features of flora and fauna in the First Nations cultural memory. The thesis also engages in a dialogical discourse about the paradigm of 'ecological arrogance' in Australian law for water and environmental management policies, whereby Aqua Nullius, Environmental Nullius and Economic Nullius is written into Australian laws. It further outlines how the anthropocentric value of nature as a resource and the accompanying humanistic technology provide what modern humans believe is the tool for managing ecosystems. In response, today there is a coming together of the First Nations people and the new Australians in a shared histories perspective, to highlight and ensure the protection of natural values to land and waterways which this thesis also explores.

  • Introduced Diseases Among the Aboriginal People of Colonial Southeast Australia 1788-1900
    "A Great Deal of Sickness"1 Introduced diseases among the Aboriginal People of colonial Southeast Australia 1788-1900 Peter J. Dowling January 1997 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, Canberra 1 Buttfield 1874 Except where otherwise stated in the text, this thesis represents my own original work. Peter J. Dowling For Dianne Saal na saol Tús gá deiredh Tá muid beo Dá deo Life of lives Beginning without an end We are alive To the end of time (Enya & Ryan 1987) Abstract Palaeopathological studies have sought to build up a picture of Australian Aboriginal health before European settlement in 1788, and epidemiological studies of Aboriginal health in the twentieth century are now legion. But, despite a growing body of literature on Aboriginal history in the intervening colonial period, this remains an under-studied period from the viewpoint specifically of Aboriginal health. This thesis is a contribution to filling that gap through an examination of documentary and skeletal evidence on the changing bio-medical situation experienced by Aboriginal populations of Southeast Australia from 1788 to 1900. This thesis examines one of the major biological components of this change - the diseases that were introduced into Australian Aboriginal populations during the process of colonisation. The epidemiology, timing, diffusion of diseases are considered with specific attention given to infectious and respiratory diseases that were responsible for causing major epidemics of morbidity and mortality.
