  • The Cultural Significance of Bogong High Plains Wild Horses Heritage – Irreplaceable - Precious - to Conserve for Future Generations
    PO Box 3276 Victoria Gardens Richmond, Vic 3121 Phone : (03) 9428 4709 [email protected] www.australianbrumbyalliance.org.au ABN : 90784718191 The Cultural Significance of Bogong High Plains Wild Horses Heritage – irreplaceable - precious - to conserve for future generations Terms used to describe Wild Horse heritage The Oxford dictionary defines Heritage as embracing “a huge range of meaning and potential disagreement; it comprises the cultural expressions of humanity”. The term “heritage” is preferred because of its inherent sense of transmission, legacy, and inheritance”. “Cultural heritage is finite, non-renewable, vulnerable to damage or destruction, and frequently contested”. [Ref link below] http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780195389661/obo-9780195389661-0119.xml Article 13 of the Burra Charter (ref-1), states that “cultural values refers to those beliefs which are important to a cultural group, including but not limited to political, religious, spiritual and moral beliefs and is broader than values associated with cultural significance”. The Burra Charter states that “places of cultural significance enrich our lives and give a deep and inspirational connection to community and their landscape and to past & lived experiences”, and that “places of cultural significance reflect diversity of our communities, tell us who we are, the past that formed us, irreplaceable, precious and must be conserved for present and future generations in accordance with principle of intergenerational equity.

  • Listening to the Land
    Listening to the Land Thad Box Work, Ranching, and HRM Disorders n the summer of 1979 I found myself in the mountains of western China sitting astride a horse only slightly larger than I was. My host was a Uyghur stockman who had never seen an American and tried to stay clear of Han Chinese. Our translator was a Han bureaucrat who barely spoke English and didn’t know a cow got up hind Ifeet fi rst. The bureaucrat explained that livestock belonged to the state. The cattle system was much like sharecropping. The stockman and his family took care of the herd and received a percentage of the sale of the offspring. Off-take was low. Cows did not calve annually —a 60% calf crop was good. Cows with a different ear mark were personally owned by the stockman. Each herder could own a few cows for family needs—milk, beef, hides, etc. I asked about calves from those cows. The stockman winked, smiled, and said his cows weaned a calf every year, sometimes twins. “You Uyghurs and Americans are all alike,” the Han said. And truck drivers, I thought. A few years earlier some friends and I bought long haul trucks and put them in a pool. Each truck had a high-performance engine that was sup- posed to get 5 miles per gallon. The fi rst quarter of operation, trucks got less than 3 miles per gallon, time between loads was excessive, and load selection unacceptable. We lost money. We changed contracts to pay drivers by mile driven and credited part of his rig’s net profi t toward the driver’s eventual ownership of the truck.

  • March 2021 Home Grown Newsletter
    Home Grown Newsletter March 2021 Tips For A Successful Vegetable Garden Paul Winski, Harris County Extension Agent, Horticulture After surviving winter storm Yuri, and the first day of spring is only a few weeks away it is time to turn our attention to growing a successful and bountiful vegetable garden, I have put together a list of items so you can have a great growing season. Garden Location Receives 8+ hours of sunlight. Soil has good drainage, consider raised beds if you are not already using them. Choose a spot free from competition of other plants or shade from buildings. Have a nearby water source. Container Gardening Vegetables can easily be grown in containers if you have limited space or are just starting out. Large containers: You will be more successful if you use larger containers (think half whiskey barrel), it holds a larger volume of soil and will not dry out as quickly. Make sure that there are holes in the bottom of the pot. Use a good potting soil mix, a peat-based mix is fine. Do not use soil from your garden. Container-grown vegetables may need to be watered more often since the plants will have a limited root zone for growth. Tomatoes Choose disease-resistant varieties. Plant healthy, vigorous plants; and plant slightly deeper than the original soil line. Apply 2-3" of mulch around the plants. Incorporate 1/4 - 1/2 cup of complete fertilizer (10-10-10) at planting Apply a weekly foliar spray of a soluble fertilizer with micronutrients (fish emulsion, seaweed extract, miracle grow).

Introduction Long before bush balladeers such as Slim Dusty gave voice to a particular Australian rural experience, Aboriginal people from across Northern and Central Australia were using song to reflect on the rapid changes that came to their worlds in late the 19th and early 20th centuries. They captured major events and details of everyday life in their compositions, incorporating new themes into existing traditional song and dance styles.
