History and Management of Culham Inlet, a Coastal Salt Lake in South-Western Australia
JournalJournal of ofthe the Royal Royal Society Society of Westernof Western Australia, Australia, 80(4), 80:239-247, December 1997 1997 History and management of Culham Inlet, a coastal salt lake in south-western Australia E P Hodgkin 86 Adelma Road, Dalkeith, WA 6009 email: [email protected] Manuscript received August 1996; accepted May 1997. Abstract When Culham Inlet was first flooded by the Holocene rise in sea level it was an estuary, but in historic times it has been a salt lake closed by a high sea bar. It is in an area of low rainfall and episodic river flow and sometimes all water is lost by evaporation to below sea level. With above average rainfall in 1989 and 1992, high water levels in the Inlet flooded farm paddocks and threatened to break the bar and a road along it from Hopetoun to the Fitzgerald River National Park. In 1993 the bar was breached to release flood water, and the Inlet was briefly an estuary. Engineering measures designed to restore road access and prevent flooding are examined for their potential to restore the Inlet to its pre-1993 condition of a productive ecosystem. Recent clearing in the catchments of Culham Inlet and nearby estuaries in the south coast low rainfall area has increased river flow to them and appears to have caused their bars to break more frequently. Introduction (Fig 2) that is only known to have broken naturally once, In historic times Culham Inlet has been a coastal in 1849. The bar was broken artificially in 1920, but for lagoon on a semi-arid part of the south coast of Western over 70 years since then the Inlet has absorbed river flow Australia (Fig 1), separated from the sea by a high bar without the bar breaking, until 1993. -

Implementation Strategies for a Heritage Trail That Would Link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia
PROJECT # 31009 Implementation strategies for a heritage trail that would link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia The “Heritage of Endeavour” project. By Michael Hughes and Jim Macbeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we acknowledge the contribution of Lindley Chandler to this final report. Lindley undertook this project as part of her Masters degree and carried out all of the basic ground work and community consultation. Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lindley was unable to write the final report. Nonetheless, the report is based on her work in the Central Great Southern. Russell Pritchard, Regional Officer with the Great Southern Development Commission, provided invaluable advice and support in further developing and crystallising the ideas within this report. Many other Central Great Southern community members contributed information as detailed in the reference list at the end of the report. The authors also acknowledge the support of the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, an Australian Government initiative, in funding this project.

(Centrolepidaceae) in Australia
J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 15(1): 1-63 (1992) A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF CENTROLEPIS (CENTROLEPIDACEAE) IN AUSTRALIA D. A. Cooke Animal and Plant Control Commission of South Australia GPO Box 1671, Adelaide, South Australia 5001 Abstract Centrdepis in Australia is revised and twenty species are recognised. This revision is based on morphological features that are discussed in relation to the biology of the genus. One new species, C. curta, and a new subspecies, C. strigosa subsp. rupestris, are described and illustrated. The new combinations C. monogyna subsp. paludicola and C. strigosa subsp. pulvinata are made. Introduction Centrolepis is a genus of small annual and perennial monocots. It forms, with Aphelia and Gaimardia, the minor family Centrolepidaceae. The family has its main centre of diversity in Australia with 29 species; a few occur in New Zealand, south-eastern Asia and South America. The close affinity of the Centrolepidaceae to the Restionaceae, and its remoteness from the two genera segregated by Hamann (1976) as the Hydatellaceae, are widely recognised in contemporary systems of classification (Cronquist, 1981; Dahlgren & Clifford, 1982; Takhtajan, 1980). Taxonomic history The genus first became known from material of the near-coastal species sent to Europe by the early botanist-explorers and collectors. In 1770 Banks and Solander on the Endeavour collected specimens of Centrolepis, now referred to C. banksii and C. exserta, that they tentatively labelled as species of Schoenus (Cyperaceae). Labillardière (1804) based the new genus Centrolepis, which he placed under Monandria Monogynia in the Linnaean system, on a Tasmanian specimen. Robert Brown (1810), using Banks' and Solander's material and his own collections from the voyage of the Investigator around Australia in 1801-4, drafted manuscript epithets for a further twelve Centrolepis species. -

Chapter 5: Road Infrastructure
5 Road Infrastructure 5.1 A substantial proportion of AusLink funding is being applied to the improvement of Australia’s main road networks. In this chapter the Committee examines road connections, in areas other than port precincts, brought to its attention during this inquiry – either in evidence or during site visits – where funding of road improvements was demonstrated to be a priority. 5.2 As with rail links in the last Chapter, where the road issues relate directly to a port, they have been dealt with in Chapter 3. 5.3 It is obviously vital for the main highways to be brought up to an acceptable international standard. However, the Committee received evidence from a wide range of sources indicating that there are bottlenecks and “missing links” in other parts of the freight transport system, that are holding back its overall expansion and efficiency. 5.4 In many areas, the infrastructure needed is a section of road that is not covered by either funding from the AusLink program, or by State government funding. The chapter highlights some of these areas, where a project would make a marked difference to the efficiency, and/or safety, of the freight network and, in some instances, the GDP of a region. 5.5 This Chapter also refers to some problems of inconsistency between states and territories and the regulations they apply to freight transport by road. 134 Road Weight Limits 5.6 The question of increasing allowable road weight limits and axle loadings was raised by a number of participants in the inquiry. The difficulties caused by varying regulations between states were also raised. -
Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan
FITZGERALD BIOSPHERE RECOVERY PLAN A landscape approach to threatened species and ecological communities for recovery and biodiversity conservation South Coast Region Department of Environment and Conservation This Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan has been prepared by Janet Newell, Sarah Comer and Deon Utber for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation. This Plan should be cited as follows: Department of Environment and Conservation, (2012). Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan: A Landscape Approach to Threatened Species and Ecological Communities Recovery and Biodiversity Conservation, Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation, Albany. Cover photos: top left – Eucalyptus nutans (Sarah Barrett) top middle – Western Ground Parrot (Brent Barrett) top right – Eucalyptus burdettiana (Sarah Barrett) bottom – Fitzgerald River National Park (Sarah Comer) Department of Environment and Conservation South Coast Region 120 Albany Highway Albany WA 6330. FORWARD This Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan constitutes the formal national regional recovery plan for 11 flora species and provides recovery guidance for the remaining species and ecological communities largely endemic to the Fitzgerald Biosphere on the south coast of Western Australia that are listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Fitzgerald River National Park (FRNP) was designated a Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme in 1978, and is recognised for its relatively pristine state and high biological diversity, especially its flora. For the purpose of this plan, the term ‘Fitzgerald Biosphere’ or ‘Biosphere’ refers to the combination of the core Biosphere area as recognised by MAB and the buffer and transition zones as defined by catchment boundaries as shown in figure 1. -
