A Changing Cultural Landscape: Yanchep National Park, Western Australia DARREN PETER VENN A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Master of Arts (Geography) for the Faculty of Education and Arts School of Communications and Arts, Edith Cowan University, Mt Lawley, Western Australia USE OF THESIS The Use of Thesis statement is not included in this version of the thesis. ABSTRACT This study depicts the changing landscape of Western Australia’s Yanchep National Park as it has evolved in response to natural processes and human activities. The study also serves to evaluate the level of input Indigenous people have in the management of Australian natural and cultural heritage. The Park was examined by utilising a methodology that combined a cultural geography approach with Structuration Theory. Yanchep National Park is highly suited to this type of investigation because of its close proximity to a major urban centre (Perth) and because of the importance of the area to Indigenous people, resulting in a highly visible cultural heritage within the Park. The aim of this research was to distinguish, describe and classify the complexity of environmental features at the Park. It also served to depict specific systems, patterns and processes in which human manipulations of the Park are involved, together with their implications for the welfare of the surrounding community. Furthermore, the results from this study are used to identify management strategies that could benefit the future of the Park. The potential benefits from the preservation of cultural landscapes are enormous. Such landscapes provide scenic, economic, ecological, social, spiritual, recreational and educational opportunities that help us understand ourselves as individuals, communities and as a nation. Their ongoing preservation can yield an improved quality of life for all and, above all, a sense of identity or place for future generations. iii DECLARATION I certify that this thesis does not, to the best of my knowledge and belief: (i) incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any institution of higher education.

Date ……./……./2008 Signed…………………… Darren Venn iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is dedicated to my Grandfather Peter Venn (MBE) who I have great admiration and respect for. He has taught me by example to be humble, kind and to enjoy life. Many thanks and much love is released to him and all within my family from past, present and future. This study has also benefited greatly from the co-operation and goodwill of a large number of individuals and organisations. I wish to mention in particular the contributions and support I received from the staff at Yanchep National Park and the Battye Library. I also acknowledge Edith Cowan University for granting me a HECS exempt scholarship to complete this thesis. The substantial contribution of Dr Noel Nannup (Nyoongar elder) to my spiritual and personal development also merits special recognition. I feel privileged to have benefited from his wisdom and inspiration. I am especially grateful to the many friends and family members who offered help and support at various stages throughout the study. I could not have completed it if it were not for them. I wish to mention in particular my fiancé Melissa, my brother Sean, Nana and Bob (Lynette & Robert Dearle) and give a special thanks to my mother and father, Annette and Michael Venn, for their unconditional support and encouragement throughout not only this study, but throughout my life. I am also greatly indebted to Dr Hugo Bekle, my supervisor, who made himself available at all times to render any assistance required.

  • Back to Margaret River
    BACK TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA - Kent Henderson The Pinnacles – Nambung National Park In mid September I found myself in Perth on business for about a week but, happily, with a little bit of spare time. Thus it was I fitted in a flying visit to Nambung National Park north of Perth for a look at The Pinnacles. It was easy to see why this karstic feature is one of Western Australia’s top tourist attractions. Stunning stuff, indeed! For those whose haven’t seen them, I proffer an adjacent photo (which doesn’t do justice – there are thousands of pinnacles over many square kilometres), plus an explanatory diagram from the Park brochure. After The Pinnacles, I called in at Yanchep National Park to visit Crystal Cave. I first visited this tourist cave, just north of Perth, during the 1991 ACKMA Conference. Little has changed since my last visit, but a great deal needs to be achieved, and should be achieved, in this cave. My tour guide, Stephanie, though very pleasant, seemed to me to be under trained. Her cave and karst knowledge was under done – an area management should address. I asked her after the tour what professional development training she got, and was advised nothing, despite her and the three other full time guides asking for it. Contrast this with Margaret River, for example, with its wide-ranging (and regularly updated) Training Manuals, its extensive and intensive training regime, regular guide meetings, in-servicing, probational periods for new guides…. I’ll come to my guided tour experience at Lake Cave shortly.

The conservation values of the park will be in better condition than at present. This will have been achieved by reducing stress on ecosystems to promote their natural resilience, and facilitating sustainable visitor use. In particular, those values that are not found or are uncommon elsewhere will have been conserved, and their special conservation significance will be recognised by the local community and visitors. The park will continue to support a wide range of nature-based recreational activities with a focus on preserving the remote and natural character of the region. Visitors will continue to enjoy the park, either as day visitors from Exmouth or by camping in the park itself at one of the high quality camping areas. The local community will identify with the park and the adjacent Ningaloo Marine Park, and recognise that its values are of international significance. An increasing number of community members will support and want to be involved in its ongoing management. The Indigenous heritage of the park will be preserved by the ongoing involvement of the traditional custodians, who will have a critical and active role in jointly managing the cultural and conservation values of the park.
