River Health in the Mid North the Map Provides an Overall Assessment of the Health of Individual Sites in the Region
Mayfly nymph (Koorrnonga inconspicua) Aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Mid North The region is biologically diverse, with over 380 types of aquatic macroinvertebrates having been collected from 1994–1999. The most common members include amphipod crustaceans (e.g. Pseudomoera species and Austrochiltonia australis), blackfly larvae (Simulium ornatipes), oligochaetes (worms), chironomid midge larvae (Chironomus species), molluscs (hydrobiid snails) and nematodes (roundworms). A number of rare and uncommon macroinvertebrates are also found in the region. They include bristle worms (polychaete worms from the family Syllidae) found in the main channel of the Broughton River, as well as from the lower Rocky River and Mary Springs. These worms are normally found in marine and estuarine environments and their widespread presence in the Broughton catchment was unexpected. Other interesting records include horsehair worms (Gordiidae) from Skillogallee Creek, and planorbid snails (Gyraulus species) from the Light River at Mingays Waterhole. There are also three rare blackfly larvae that occur in the region: Austrosimulium furiosum from the Broughton River, Simulium melatum from Mary Springs and Paracnephia species from Belalie Creek. Among the rarer midges in the area are Podonomopsis from Eyre Creek, Apsectrotanypus from the Light River at Kapunda and Harrissius from the Wakefield River. Mayflies such as Offadens sp. 5 and Centroptilum elongatum, from the Broughton River and Mary Springs respectively, were unusual records, as were the presence of several caddisflies (e.g. Apsilochorema gisbum, Taschorema evansi, Orphninotrichia maculata and Lingora aurata) from Skillogallee and Eyre creeks, Mary Springs and the lower Broughton River. Mayfly nymphs (e.g. Koorrnonga inconspicua) have flattened bodies that allow them to cling to rocks in flowing streams. -

Coke Making in the Illawarra : a Talk Given by Don Reynolds
COKE MAKING IN ILLA WARRA A talk given by Don Reynolds to the Society in March 2006. Coke making began in Illawarra in 1874 by Osborne and Ahearn who built a small battery of circular beehive coke ovens on a site just to the south of Wollongong Harbour, that undertalcing only lasted till about 1890. In 1984 the site was exposed by council when carrying out road works just south east of Belmore Basin; the site was examined and recorded by Brian Rogers and then filled in. In 1884 Thomas Bertram opened the Broker's Nose Coal Company in the escarpment behind what is now CorrimaJ; he built a set of 7 beehive coke ovens (presumably of the circular type) on the northern side of Tarrawanna Road, it appears that these ovens only operated spasmodically. The Southern Coal Company (SCC) was formed in the UK to build a coJliery on the southern slopes ofMt Kembla and a railway from the mine to a jetty they were building in an unprotected bay at Five Islands. They also built a large set of modem rectangular beehive coke ovens alongside their railway near where the Commonwealth Steel stainless steel plant was much later built. This coke ovens plant, which was known as the Australian Coke Making Company, went into service in 1888. The coal mine of the SCC immediately ran into problems due to geological disturbances and the mine was abandoned. They negotiated with Thomas Bertram and leased his Corrimal coal mining and railway facilities in order to meet their commitments. The SCC quickly upgraded the Corrimal facility and began to rail coal to their new jetty and coke works. -
There Has Been an Italian Presence in the Riverland Since
1 Building blocks of settlement: Italians in the Riverland, South Australia By Sara King and Desmond O’Connor The Riverland region is situated approximately 200 km. north-east of Adelaide and consists of a strip of land on either side of the River Murray from the South Australian-Victorian border westwards to the town of Morgan. Covering more than 20,000 sq. km., it encompasses the seven local government areas of Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Morgan, Paringa, Renmark and Waikerie.1 The region was first identified as an area of primary production in 1887 when two Canadian brothers, George and William Chaffey, were granted a licence to occupy 101,700 hectares of land at Renmark in order to establish an irrigated horticultural scheme. By 1900 a prosperous settlement had developed in the area for the production of vines and fruit, and during the 1890s Depression other ‘village settlements’ were established down river by the South Australian Government to provide work for the city-based unemployed.2 During the years between the foundation of the villages and the First World War there was intense settlement, especially around Waikerie, Loxton, Berri and Barmera, as the area was opened up and increased in value.3 After World War 1, the SA Government made available new irrigation blocks at Renmark and other localities in the Riverland area to assist the resettlement of more than a thousand returned soldiers. A similar scheme operated in New South Wales, where returned servicemen were offered blocks in Leeton and Griffith, in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.4 The period after World War 2 saw further settlement of returned soldiers on fruit blocks in the Riverland and new irrigation areas were developed to cater for this growth. -
