  • Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah
    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.

  • Macrophyte Communities in the Peel-Harvey Estuary: Historical Trends and Current Patterns in Biomass and Distribution
    Macrophyte communities in the Peel-Harvey Estuary: Historical trends and current patterns in biomass and distribution. Submitted by Oliver Krumholz This thesis is presented for the Degree of Honours in Marine Science, School of Veterinary and Life Science, Murdoch University, 2019. Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ------------------------------------------ Oliver Krumholz 20th May 2019 Abstract Estuaries are significant coastal environments and amongst the most productive ecosystems. However, anthropogenic activities have led to widespread degradation of estuaries and loss of ecosystem function. Eutrophication, a major driver for these changes, caused widespread loss of seagrass and significant blooms of macroalgae and phytoplankton. This study determined the spatial and temporal dynamics of macrophyte communities over a forty-year period (1978- 2018) in the Peel- Harvey Estuary, a hydrologically modified eutrophic estuary in south-western Australia. Analyses revealed a progressive decline in macroalgal biomass and an associated increase in seagrass biomass over the examined periods. The seagrass Ruppia became the dominant macrophyte in the system and expanded into previously unvegetated areas in the southern Harvey Estuary. The observed changes in macrophyte community composition were correlated with declining total nitrogen concentrations over time in those regions of the estuary furthest from the rivers. While these effects partly reflect improved water clarity and flushing of nutrients following the opening of an artificial channel to the ocean, they are likely also influenced by changes in river flow patterns caused by climate change.
