[Thursday, 25 October 2001] 4913 Cut Back in Fire Frequency in The [Thursday, 25 October 2001] 4913 cut back in fire frequency in the Yalgorup National Park and we believe that is one of the factors directly contributing to the problem there. In other areas fires have occurred and there has been a decline in the tuarts. Also, the severity of the decline varies. That has given us some insight into the more likely factors. For example, in the area around the Yalgorup National Park, we know that there is a shallow lens of ground water underlying more salty water and it may well be that part of the problem is that the trees are tapping into that salty water. I shall talk a little about where the tuarts are located. They are basically spread across the coastal plain from the north of Perth to the Busselton area. The majority of tuarts have been cleared in the past for both agricultural and urban development. There is now 11 000 hectares of tuart forest and woodland in the crown estate. The Yalgorup National Park has a total area of 13 000 hectares of which around 3 180 hectares is tuart forest. Tuarts are the dominant species in the Yalgorup National Park. As the member said, borers are present in those trees. As the member also said, there is a history of decline in the trees that was first noticed around 1997. At that time people thought that the trees would bounce back but clearly they have not. I have had a number of meetings with the Department of Conservation and Land Management at which it was agreed we need more research, more advice to landowners and more action. I can tell the member for Dawesville that I have emphasised that point to CALM. Mr Masters: Will it happen? Dr EDWARDS: It will happen. I shall refer to some of the current actions. I have asked CALM to set up and head an interdepartmental committee. An important area that it must examine is the whole area of water use and what is going on with ground water to determine the extent to which that is contributing to the problem. That might be an issue in the member for Dawesville’s electorate. The Water and Rivers Commission has undertaken detailed work that indicates extraction has occurred according to the terms of the licences that have been granted; therefore, that should not be a problem. However, we must consider whether there is more subtlety in the ground water contributing to the problem that must be further investigated. I have asked that the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation be invited to participate because I believe it can also give us information. I have asked that all relevant departments come together and that the committee be led by CALM. We therefore anticipate departments under the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure’s area to be involved, particularly Main Roads, as a lot of tuart trees are protected in roadside verges and we need to make sure that we continue to protect them. I have asked CALM to take more action. CALM commissioned a report in 2000 that provided more insight. However, I have asked CALM what it is doing about acting on the recommendations of that report and what needs to be done so that it can more speedily act on those recommendations. CALM is rejigging a pamphlet issued in 1999 for direct advice to be provided to land-holders. I have asked CALM, following complaints from people in the south west, to compile a list of names and phone numbers of people so that it knows directly who to contact if it wants general information about tuarts and specific information about treatments in particular areas; that will be provided. Mr Marshall: Does the minister know if the comment being touted around town is true that CALM has not monitored the watertable in the Yalgorup National Park since 1996? Dr EDWARDS: The Water and Rivers Commission generally audits the monitoring of the licensed bores but I will follow up on that. I have also asked CALM to undertake more work into the treatment that local landowners can give to trees on their property. I assume that there are local landowners in the member’s electorate with reasonable size blocks of land that have three to five tuart trees which, if they are dying, is upsetting to those landowners. Although it has been said that individual action cannot do a lot to help a tree, if landowners agree to do that, it is worth doing. A number of people need to take different measures to find out what works best in particular areas. I do not know whether there is one particular solution because I believe the causes are multifaceted. I have also asked CALM to work with conservation groups, land care groups and progress associations to get the message out, to get feedback and to see what we can do with both individuals and groups at the state level and at the level of looking at and working with other agencies such as the CSIRO. I have also asked CALM to take part in the forthcoming tuart seminar to spell out exactly what we do know, what we do not know, how we are addressing what we do not know and what treatments and advice we can give to landowners to ensure that we preserve the remaining tuarts that we have. PERRY LAKES STADIUM Grievance MR WATSON (Albany) [9.57 am]: My grievance is to the Minister for Sport and Recreation about the deterioration of Perry Lakes Stadium. I remember back in 1962, when I was very young at the time, the British Empire and Commonwealth Games at Perry Lakes Stadium. Before that we used to run at the old Leederville Oval where Herb Elliott and Merv Lincoln had their epic clash. In 1962 people came from commonwealth countries all over the world to attend the British Empire and Commonwealth Games at a world-class facility at Perry Lakes, which was probably the best facility in Australia at that time. Most members may remember Seraphino Antao, the slick Kenyan who won the 100 and 220 yards race. Kenyans were not renowned as distance runners then, so he was an exception. George Kerr 4914 [ASSEMBLY] was the silky smooth 440-yards winner. Someone who caught my eye in those commonwealth games was a Kiwi called Peter Snell, who won the 880 yards and the mile. He may have planted the seed in my old brain or in the toes of my running shoes when I saw how easily he ran and the contempt he had for his rivals. Murray Halberg, who beat our own Ron Clarke, stood out because he had a withered arm. He was a tremendous athlete and was probably one of the first of many defeats that Australia’s Ron Clarke had at the commonwealth games and Olympics. I remember when our own Western Australian Trevor Bickle won the pole vault in front of the stand. I remember the late Ian Tomlinson, who won the hop, step and jump. These are all highlights from the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1962. Over the years, athletics in Western Australia has had some great champions. One person I forgot to mention was Dixie Willis from Western Australia who was a great athlete and who won the 880 yards, beating Marise Chamberlain of New Zealand. As we all know, Australians love to beat Kiwis. Over the years there have been some tremendous athletes. I can remember being at Perry Lakes the day that Margaret Burvill, our own Western Australian, broke the world record for the 220 yards. It was an exceptional day when the wind was blowing just right. Anybody who has had an opportunity to run at Perry Lakes would know that the wind always blows up into the main straight when the Fremantle doctor comes in. The day that Margaret Burvill broke the world record was an incredible day. The wind was exactly right, she flew out of the blocks and flew around the bend. That was one of the few world records ever broken at Perry Lakes. We have had some great athletes over the years, not only Margaret but also Joyce Bennett who used to have some tremendous races with Margaret. Keith Wheeler, who is now the padre for the Special Air Service and who would be a very busy man at the moment, used to have some tremendous races over the years. When I used to chase him home, people said it was the devil chasing the padre. These were the days before steroids and all those sorts of things. Mr Dean interjected. Mr WATSON: I was the only person who was offered steroids when I had a steroid test. I used to go to the gym there in the olden days. It had a biceps section and a “nonceps” section. I used to work out in the “nonceps” section; and, as members can see, it has built me up into what I am today! However, I am sure if I am here for some time in the parliamentary dining room, I will be built up even further! I have seen how the member for Dawesville, who used to be a tremendously fit athlete, has expanded into a very prominent member of the community. I hope I can live up to him in most ways, but perhaps not his girth. Mr Marshall: It is embarrassing, I will admit. Mr WATSON: That was meant in the nicest possible terms. Mr Marshall: I will start training tomorrow.

    1 PEOPLE WHO CHANGED MELBOURNE Schools City Tour of Melbourne: www.melbournewalks.com.au/city-schools-tour ; www.melbournewalks.com; [email protected] ; Copyright Melbourne Walks © Peter Lalor, Rebel (1827-1889) As Eureka stockade leader in December 1854 I took the oath of the rebel miners: ‘We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other to defend our rights and liberties’. I lost my arm in that battle yet later became the only outlaw ever elected to parliament! On 24 Nov 1857 all men received the right to vote. Our Southern Cross flag is now the Australian flag. Down with tyranny! John Batman, Founder of Colonial Melbourne (1801 –1839) I was a Tasmania sheep farmer when I led an expedition to sign a ‘treaty’ with Aboriginal ‘chiefs’ in 1835 to found the settlement of Melbourne and the colony of Victoria. I captured bushranger Mathew Brady and married a runaway convict Eliza Callaghan. We had seven children in all. At Melbourne’s first land sale in 1837. I bought the Young and Jackson Hotel site opposite Flinders Street Station to build a home for my children. It became a schoolhouse in 1839 and today a famous pub. See Chloe upstairs! Ron Clarke, Runner 1937- I had the great honour of carrying the torch into the stadium in the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956. I was also the first man to run three miles in under 13 minutes. They said I was fastest man on the planet when I broke 17 world records and 25 Australian records in 1965.

  • T Put It Down
    In his Foreword, Lord Sebastian Coe eloquently sums up the contents. 'The story Harry tells of Australia at the Olympic Games is as vast and as sweeping as the landscapes of the continent itself, and the world­ wide Olympic Movement with which Australia shares such a rich history and special bond.' From Athens with Pride chronicles Australia's proud Olympic odyssey from Athens 1896 until Sochi 2014. As Gordon said at the launch, that journey has been ‘laced with some wonderful acts of courage', both individual and collective, collective induding the courage shown by the then Australian Olympic Federation in defying Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser and sending a team of 124 to the boycott-affected Moscow Olympics in 198o. A former general editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography, John Ritchie, once said of writing biographical material that besides authors thoroughly researching and getting to know their subjects they 'should learn to write like angels'. Harry Gordon has done this in abundance in From Athens with Harry Gordon Pride. Out of interest, during the From Athens w ith Pride writing of the book Gordon, who The Official History of the Australian Olympic first reported the Olympic Games at Movement 1894 to 2014 Helsinki 1952, was inducted into the Penguin Books, Melbourne 2014 336 p.; SA60.00 Melbourne Press Club's prestigious ISBN-13:9780702253348, ISBN-10:072253340 Media Hall of Fame. One of the hitherto untold stories Reviewed by Bruce Coe contained within the pages is that of Francis Gailey. In St. Louis in 1904, 'Once you pick up From Athens Gailey represented the Olympic with Pride you are engrossed, and Club of San Francisco in the swim­ you are rapt and you just can't put ming events in the man-made it down.' So proclaimed the 1960 lake in Forest Park.

  • Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
    Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.

  • Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020
    Athletics International Ron Clarke Scholarship 2020 OBJECTIVE The aim of the scholarship is to provide support for a middle distance/distance athlete to achieve his or her athletic and educational potential. The recipient will be expected to uphold those values demonstrated by Ron over his life: commitment to his athletic career, his education and his subsequent working life; support of the athletics community; and dedication to his family and other important relationships. RON’S CAREER Ron Clarke was truly a “renaissance man”. His lifetime achievements include being a successful businessman, an environmental crusader, Mayor of the Gold Coast for eight years, a philanthropist and a devoted family man. But it is as a runner that Ron is best known. Ron showed that distance runners could race hard, race fearlessly and race anyone. His assault on performance barriers was stunning: in his halcyon days Ron took almost 40 seconds off the world record for 10,000 metres between December 1963 and July 1965 (36 seconds in one race), and 18 seconds off the world record for 5000 between January 1965 and July 1966. Ron won an Olympic bronze medal at 10,000 in Tokyo in 1964 and silver medals at three miles at the Perth Commonwealth Games in 1962, at three and six miles in Kingston Jamaica in 1966 and at 10,000 metres in Edinburgh in 1970. In all, he set 17 world records over the period 1963 to 1968, in events ranging from 2 miles to one hour. RON’S CONTRIBUTION TO ATHLETICS INTERNATIONAL In the late 1960s, there was a dearth of international competition in Australia.

  • Welsh Athletics Milestones
    Welsh Athletics Milestones Recalled by Clive Williams 1860 John Chambers holds a sports meeting at Hafod House, Aberystwyth - probably the first record of an athletics meeting being held in Wales 1865 Chambers organises “athletic sports” at Aberystwyth. 1865 William Richards, born in “Glamorgan” sets a world record for the mile with 4 mins. 17 ¼ seconds. 1871 St. David’s College Lampeter and Llandovery College hold athletics “sports” meetings. 1875 Newport Athletic Club formed and holds “athletic sports.” 1877 Cardiff-born William Gale achieves the phenomenal deed of walking 1,500 miles in 1,000 hours. He was the world’s leading pedestrian. 1879 Llanfair Caereinion Powys-born George Dunning sets a world 40 miles record at Stamford Bridge of 4:50.12. 1880 Newport AC represented by Richard Mullock at the formation of the AAA at The Randolph Hotel, Oxford - Chambers also there. 1881 Dunning effectively sets an inaugural world record for the half-marathon when he runs 1:13.46 on a track at Stamford Bridge. The distance is actually 13 miles 440 yards, i.e. further than the designated half marathon distance of 13 miles 192.5 yards. 1881 Dunning becomes the first Welsh born athlete to win the (English) National cross country title. 1882 Roath (Cardiff) Harriers formed. They amalgamated with Birchgrove (Cardiff) Harriers in 1968 to form Cardiff AAC.1890. 1890 Will Parry, born in Buttington, near Welshpool wins the (English) National cross country title for a third successive year. 1893 First Welsh amateur track championships held as part of an open sports meeting. Just 2 events held - 100 yards and mile won by Charles Thomas (Reading AC) and Hugh Fairlamb (Roath).
