  • Australian Exchange (Kalgoorlie) 2017
    Australian Exchange (Kalgoorlie) 2017 Erena Hosford—RMIP Wairarapa We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home. – Australian Aboriginal Proverb The super pit In July 2017 I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to be placed in rural Western Australia for two weeks of my 5th year medical training. I was placed at Kalgoorlie Hospital in the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, which is in the goldfields 595km inland from Perth. The town has a population of over 32,000 people and was founded in 1893 during the gold rush. The largest employer in the area is the ‘Super pit’, an open cut gold mine, which is over 3 km long. The evening my fellow RMIP classmate and I landed in Kalgoorlie we were greeted at the airport by staff from the medical school who took us to our accommodation. There we met some of the Australian rural medical students. They had just started their mid year break but were still happy to take us out for dinner and show us around the town. The next day we started at the hospital. Kalgoorlie Hospital has an incredibly large catchment area, with some patients having travelled over 900km to attend clinics. While in Kalgoorlie I was on the Paediatric and General Medicine teams. I found the medicine there to be really interesting. There were many indigenous Australian patients, as well as a surprisingly large amount of New Zealanders (who move to Kalgoorlie to work in the mines).

  • Bird Guide for the Great Western Woodlands Male Gilbert’S Whistler: Chris Tzaros Whistler: Male Gilbert’S
    Bird Guide for the Great Western Woodlands Male Gilbert’s Whistler: Chris Tzaros Whistler: Male Gilbert’s Western Australia PART 1. GWW NORTHERN Southern Cross Kalgoorlie Widgiemooltha birds are in our nature ® Australia AUSTRALIA Introduction The birds and places of the north-west region of the Great Western Woodlands are presented in this booklet. This area includes tall woodlands on red soils, shrublands on yellow sand plains and mallee on sand and loam soils. Landforms include large granite outcrops, Banded Ironstone Formation (BIF) Ranges, extensive natural salt lakes and a few freshwater lakes. The Great Western Woodlands At 16 million hectares, the Great Western Woodlands (GWW) is close to three quarters the size of Victoria and is the largest remaining intact area of temperate woodland in the world. It is located between the Western Australian Wheatbelt and the Nullarbor Plain. BirdLife Australia and The Nature Conservancy joined forces in 2012 to establish a long-term project to study the birds of this unique region and to determine how we can best conserve the woodland birds that occur here. Kalgoorlie 1 Groups of volunteers carry out bird surveys each year in spring and autumn to find out the species present, their abundance and to observe their behaviour. If you would like to know more visit http://www.birdlife.org.au/projects/great-western-woodlands If you would like to participate as a volunteer contact [email protected]. All levels of experience are welcome. The following six pages present 48 bird species that typically occur in four different habitats of the north-west region of the GWW, although they are not restricted to these.

  • What Questions Does the History of a Tri-Border School Raise?
    Submission – Education in Rural and Complex Environments What questions does the history of a tri-border school raise? Max Angus 4 March 2020 Introduction This submission presents a brief history of a particular school located in the tri-border region of Central Australia. The account is confined to the years 1934 – 1990 and addresses most of the Committee’s terms of refence. It is drawn from a larger work in progress. The submission does not document the school’s more recent history; however, the argument can be made that the die was cast during the earlier years, and what happened during those years is an important factor shaping how schooling is provided today. In addition, arising from the history I make a number of observations about issues that are germane to the Committee’s term of reference. The views expressed are my own. The particular school to which most of the remarks refer Is today known as the Ngaanyatjarra Lands School, a composite of eight campuses, though until 1978 there was only a single institution - Warburton Range Primary School. Obviously, any generalisations to other schools should made with caution. The sub-category of schools to which generalisations about Warburton best fit are those with the following characteristics: • They are located within an Aboriginal-governed community in the tri-border region; • The vernacular speech is a Western Desert dialect; • There is no local industry in or near the community offering employment opportunities; • Entry to the community has always required a permit, isolating it from European society; and • There continues to be a strong attachment to the Tjukurrpa and the Law; this attachment overrides the usual civic obligations that apply in predominantly European settlements.
