In the northern Basin the highest rainfall totals were observed in Krui Plains and Pindari Dam in northeast NSW, recording 63 mm and 55 mm respectively. Moderate rainfall totals are forecast for the upper Murray and north-east Basin this week. Map 1: Murray-Darling Basin rainfall for the week ending 3 March 2021. Source: Bureau of Meteorology. Dry conditions across the southern Basin saw streamflows continue to recede. Further specific information about flows at key locations can be found at the MDBA’s River Murray data webpage. Up-to-date river data for sites in the upper Murray can also be found on BoM’s website and in the Murray River Basin Daily River Report at the WaterNSW website. Subscribe to the River Murray Weekly Report River Data website Water in Storages River Murray Weekly Report River operations • Water quality has improved downstream of Hume • River Murray Flows may vary at Easter • Red alert levels for blue-green algae at Lake Victoria, Sunraysia and Lower Darling Easter Flows With the busy Easter and school holiday period approaching in early April, river users are reminded that River Murray levels from Hume Dam to South Australia depend on a range of factors including weather and system demands. Depending on the location along the system, flows are likely to remain around current levels under dry conditions but will ease between now and the Easter and school holiday period under wetter scenarios where rainfall generates inflows or supresses irrigation demands.

  • Does Early Colonial Art Provide an Accurate Guide to the Nature and Structure of the Pre-European Forests and Woodlands of South
    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • Fishing Malgun
    Aboriginal Heritage Office Yarnuping Education Series Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, Strathfield and Willoughby Councils © Copyright Aboriginal Heritage Office www.aboriginalheritage.org Yarnuping 9 - Women and Salt Water Country – Fishing Karen Smith & Phil Hunt Sydney Aboriginal women are too often forgotten in the stories of Bennelong and other Sydney men of the late 1700s, early 1800s. I wanted to bring them to the fore in this Yarnuping about Saltwater Women. You will note that the commentators are largely men, which adds further imbalance to the story, so we must take things with a grain of salt. Malgun The Aboriginal custom of female finger- tip removal – 'malgun', “the finger is taken off by means of ligature (generally a sinew of a kangaroo) tied so tight as to stop the circulation of the blood, which induces mortification and the part drops off. I remember to have seen Colbee’s child, when about a month old, on whom this operation had just been performed by her mother.” Watkin Tench 1788 page 248 For example, Captain Arthur Phillip, of the First Fleet, interpreted finger tip removal as follows: “It was now first observed by the Governor that the women in general had lost two joints from the little finger of the left hand. As these appeared to be all married women, he at first conjectured this privation to be part of the marriage ceremony; but going afterwards into a hut where were several women and children, he saw a girl of five or six years of age whose left hand was thus mutilated; and at the same time an old woman, and another who appeared to have had children, on both of whom all the fingers were perfect.

The location of the development is approximately five kilometres from the southern urban fringe of the Campbelltown local government area, six kilometres northwest of Appin village, between about two and three kilometres west of Appin Road, and between 600 m and two kilometres east of the Nepean River. This report provides a desktop review of historical heritage places in the vicinity of the proposed gas turbine power station, and the station’s impact on the heritage significance of those places. Those places include, ‘Meadowvale’ and ‘Mount Gilead’ homesteads, and the Sydney Water Supply Upper Canal system.
