Image Resources are planning for the potential development of the Atlas Project, a mineral sands mine located approximately 18 km east of Cervantes, Shire of Dandaragan, in Western Australia. Image Resources intends to refer the Project for assessment under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and as such needs to understand the potential Aboriginal heritage values of the site. These values will be considered in project design to ensure impacts are minimised and assessed through the EPA assessment process. An assessment of Aboriginal heritage values is therefore required for the project in order to better understand the known and potential Aboriginal heritage values of the land and resulting Aboriginal heritage requirements. The assessment should: Identify whether any registered Aboriginal heritage sites occur within the Project or in close proximity; Provide a contextual assessment of the general Aboriginal heritage values of the area; Identify any features at the Project that may: o Be ethnographic sites; o Have a higher likelihood of the presence of archaeological sites; o Be of high value for bush tucker or bush medicine; and Provide recommendations as appropriate to minimise impacts to Aboriginal heritage values. HORIZON HERITAGE MANAGEMENT 3 ABORIGINAL HERITAGE VALUES AND TRADITIONAL USES ASSESSMENT 2 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1The Atlas tenement (MLA 70/1305) covers 947 ha and overlays a combination of Unallocated Crown Land and freehold farmland. Mining at the project will utilise dry open cut mining techniques to extract approximately 9.5 Mt of ore over an initial three to four year period. A Wet Concentrator Plant will be constructed and operated on site to recover the contained heavy minerals via gravity separation. The northern quarter of the ore body is located on freehold land currently used for stock grazing. The rest of the ore body is located on land covered with native vegetation. A regional location map is shown as Map 1. The Project includes the following characteristics: The proposed mine pit is approximately 6 km long, 200 – 400 m wide and 1 – 10 m deep; Proposed excavations would use dry mining techniques in successive blocks; Backfill of the mined voids with overburden and tailings (sand and clay fines fractions) would progressively occur as the mining advances from one block to another; There is expected to be a high-water table in the vicinity of the ore body (2 – 5 m depth). 1 Atlas Heritage Survey Scope of Works, 20/07/2020.

  • Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes
    Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes Faults are breaks in rock where one side is displaced relative to the other. Fault displacements can be on any scale from millimetres to kilometres to hundreds of kilometres. Friction along fault surfaces causes strain to build up and be released as earthquakes. Stress causing fault movement is greatest along continental plate margins. The Indo-Australian plate moves northward relative to the Eurasian plate at about 10mm per year. Earthquakes are frequent and severe. Luckily Australia lies away from the margins of its plate. 1. Normal Fault - Extension of Crust Where the crust is being stretched or extended “normal” faults occur. During ancient geological times Australia, India, Africa, New Zealand and Antarctica were welded together to form the supercontinent of Gondwanaland. About 184 million years ago the supercontinent began to break up and the present continental plates started to move apart. Continental crust between the separating plates was stretched thin and was split by a series of faults. The stretched crust then sagged to create a marine sedimentary basin bounded by fault block ranges. The diagram below is a section through the Earth. WEST EAST Crust sags downward in a normal fault. An initiative supported by Woodside and ESWA Three Types of Fault - Teacher Notes This sag can be demonstrated by stretching some warm silly putty or play dough. The Darling Scarp, which runs north to south near the coast of Western, Australia is a normal fault, which has been activated and reactivated over more than a billion years. The down-faulted western side has more than 15km of sediments laid down in it and the Indian Ocean fills the sagging central portion.

  • Seiching in Cockburn Sound
    Seiching in Cockburn Sound by Emma Molloy Department of Environmental Engineering University of Western Australia November, 2001 Abstract A seiche is the oscillating response of an enclosed or semi-enclosed water body to external forcing, in order to return the system to equilibrium. The disturbances that cause seiches can be a variety of atmospheric and water-based mechanisms, including wind, air pressure, waves and tsunamis. In semi-enclosed micro-tidal water bodies such as Cockburn Sound, the prime mechanisms driving seiches are changes in wind speed and direction (Luettich et al, 2000). Cockburn Sound is a north-south oriented oval-shaped harbour system located 35 km south of Perth, Western Australia. It is enclosed on all sides by land, with a large opening on the north-east side. This opening facilitates water exchange to the north of Cockburn Sound. However, to the west there are reefs restricting flow. Therefore, the seiches oscillate between Mangles Bay in the south of Cockburn Sound and Fremantle. This is considered to be a semi-enclosed (“open”) system. Cockburn Sound houses a large variety of industry, as well as marine and bird life, and is used by the public for recreation. The seiches in Cockburn Sound have an impact on all of these areas. The primary effect of seiches is in influencing the mixing and flushing of the system, especially of contaminants released by the industries. Water level data were collected from Mangles Bay at the southern end of Cockburn Sound during May 2001. Water level data were also available from previous studies in this area.

This work has involved them researching with communities in central Australia and the south west of Western Australia. The discussion concerns itself with ideas and practices that come from three conceptual traditions; English, Noongar and Pitjantjatjara to talk about how to build ngapartji ngapartji (“you give and I give in return”, in Pitjantjatjara), karnya birit gnarl (respectful and kind ways of sweating/working with people, in Noongar), between marlpara (“colleagues”, in Pitjantjatjara) and involving warlbirniny quop weirn (singing out to the old people, in Noongar). Kura katitj (Introduction and background) The history of outsiders carrying out research with Indigenous Australians is long and often vexed. To say that Indigenous communities do not often benefit from the work of researchers is perhaps an understatement. Although approved by the ethical protocols of universities, much research that is undertaken “on” Indigenous people, Indigenous lands and Indigenous knowledge maintains the longstanding model of “excavating” information, artifacts and insights.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin i Centre for Aboriginal Studies The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: An Ethnographic Biography Bernard Rooney This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Curtin University of Technology March 2002 ii TO MY FRIEND THE LATE EDWARD “NED” MIPPY iii ABSTRACT Cast in the dual genre of ethnographic biography, this thesis is focused on the life, work and vision of the late Edward “Ned” Mippy, an Aboriginal Elder of the Yuat Nyoongara Community who devoted the latter years of his life to promoting and developing the cultural identity of his people. As biography, it portrays the life of Mr. Mippy with particular emphasis on the factors which help to highlight his understandings and his vision for an Indigenous cultural renewal. As ethnography, the study is intended as a vehicle for wider concerns, evoking an interpretative glimpse of his community and contributing a new perspective of that community as a continuing social entity. These aims are broadly set forth in the brief introduction. The first chapter of the thesis then outlines the origin and development of the research project and the evolution of its methodology. Chapter two presents a picture of Mr. Mippy’s life experience, largely in terms of his own recorded memories and perceptions, while chapter three places his later life in a community context which includes historical, personal and demographic perspectives. The following two chapters, four and five, present various accounts of the work undertaken by Edward Mippy.
