Overall, it has been a positive year with the Museum setting clear strategic goals and directions both operationally and financially. In line with these goals, the Museum created an exhibition on the colourful history of cricket to complement the arrival in Western Australia of the famed Ashes Urn. This was followed by a visually superb exhibition telling the stories of some of our early maritime explorers. The enormous job of relocating Museum objects from storage areas in Perth, Fremantle and Willetton to the Welshpool Collection and Research Centre is well on its way to completion and means that iconic objects including historical boats, machinery, furniture and vehicles are now in the best possible conditions and out of the elements. Work continues toward providing Western Australians with a new museum. If successful, Perth will be Tim Ungar home to a vibrant, modern facility that will become a Chair, Board of Trustees drawcard destination in its own right. Western Australian Museum The Western Australian Museum Foundation has also had a busy and challenging year with heavy involvement in both the cricket and early explorers exhibitions and in the refurbishment of the Dampier Marine Gallery in The Western Australian Museum – Perth. On behalf of The WA Museum, I would like to acknowledge the ongoing support from the Minister for Culture and the Arts, the Hon. Sheila McHale MLA. In addition, I would like to extend my thanks to our advisory committees and Foundation for their time, commitment and expertise, support the Museum could not do without. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to my fellow Trustees, to Museum CEO Dr Dawn Casey, to Museum management and staff and to our volunteers for their hard work and dedicated service over the past twelve months. the western australian museum [ 4 ] annual report 2 0 0 7 the western australian museum [ 5 ] annual report 2 0 0 7 < back to contents> < back to contents> MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER I am pleased to table in Parliament the 2006–07 Annual Report of The Western Australian Museum. The past year has been one dedicated to consolidating the restructure and new ways of working for The Western Australian Museum. In a strong performance, the Museum has held its ground in the public arena, despite a number of infrastructure challenges and while continuing to bring about broad internal change. A solid foundation of relevant exhibitions, public programs – including school holiday programs, and scientific excellence – is beginning to reap rewards. The Museum’s sciences sector took centre stage through the year with the announcement of new species, the arrival of significant acquisitions and gifts and international interest in the work being carried out in the Nullarbor fossil caves. The organisation’s major home grown exhibition, Howzat! Western Australians and Cricket was a credit to all those involved and drew strong praise from the cricketing, museum communities and visitors. This exhibition is now on its way to the Museum’s regional centres in Kalgoorlie, Albany and Geraldton, Hon Sheila McHale MLA where I am sure audiences will enjoy it as much as Minister for Culture and the Arts those who saw it during its metropolitan debut. A strong focus on creating new education and school holiday programs that relate to the exhibitions is proving successful with sessions booking out in most venues. The Museum is also working towards amendments to the Museum Act 1969 which, when implemented, will assist in positioning the organisation as a contemporary, socially relevant institution able to keep pace with the economic, social and technological changes of the 21st century. I would like to acknowledge and thank the Board of Trustees for their input through the year and Dr Dawn Casey for her continued efforts on behalf of the Museum. The Museum is a complex organisation and requires dedication from a broad support base and my sincere thanks goes to the organisation’s staff at all of its sites, both metropolitan and regional, to its advisory committees and to its band of volunteers for their hard work and commitment. the western australian museum [ 5 ] annual report 2 0 0 7 < back to contents> THE YEAR IN REVIEW MESSAGE FROM THE CEO This year has been one of exceptional achievement with the Museum’s scientists, researchers and curatorial staff describing 42 new species – including Dr Dawn Casey PSM, FAHA the first new species of Taipan to be Chief Executive Officer, Western Australian Museum discovered in 125 years, carrying out vital conservation work on Mawson’s The past year has been a year of challenge and change Huts in Antarctica, and working on a for The Western Australian Museum following an number of exhibition-based projects. organisational restructure and the development of the strategic plan 2006 – 2011.

  • The Biology and Ecology of Samson Fish Seriola Hippos
    The biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos with emphasis on the sportfishery in Western Australia. By Andrew Jay Rowland This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University 2009 DECLARATION I declare that the information contained in this thesis is the result of my own research unless otherwise cited. ……………………………………………………. Andrew Jay Rowland 2 Abstract This thesis had two overriding aims. The first was to describe the biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos and therefore extend the knowledge and understanding of the genus Seriola. The second was to uses these data to develop strategies to better manage the fishery and, if appropriate, develop catch-and-release protocols for the S. hippos sportfishery. Trends exhibited by marginal increment analysis in the opaque zones of sectioned S. hippos otoliths, together with an otolith of a recaptured calcein injected fish, demonstrated that these opaque zones represent annual features. Thus, as with some other members of the genus, the number of opaque zones in sectioned otoliths of S. hippos are appropriate for determining age and growth parameters of this species. Seriola hippos displayed similar growth trajectories to other members of the genus. Early growth in S. hippos is rapid with this species reaching minimum legal length for retention (MML) of 600mm TL within the second year of life. After the first 5 years of life growth rates of each sex differ, with females growing faster and reaching a larger size at age than males. Thus, by 10, 15 and 20 years of age, the predicted fork lengths (and weights) for females were 1088 (17 kg), 1221 (24 kg) and 1311 mm (30 kg), respectively, compared with 1035 (15 kg), 1124 (19 kg) and 1167 mm (21 kg), respectively for males.

    - 1 - INTRODUCTION A Sense of Place in Twentieth-Century Australian Life Writing In recent years, at both popular and academic levels, there has been increased talk about an Australian national identity. Events at home and abroad have sparked discussion about what it means to be “Australian”, and Australia’s role in world affairs. Such debates inevitably turn to a reassessment of traditional attributes of the “Australian character”, highlighted a few years ago by the controversy over the proposed insertion of the value of “mateship” into the preamble to the Australian constitution. For all this talk about national character and values, it is often forgotten that, on a more personal level, any identification with a nation or homeland must also involve a sense of place. What makes any of us Australian? Surely at bottom this has to begin with our dwelling in, having origins in, and retaining a continuing connection to this land mass we now call Australia. But what are the hallmarks of an Australian’s sense of place? How is it formed, nurtured and sustained? Does one’s sense of place change or alter depending on what part of Australia one lives in? As Simon Schama says in the introduction to his extensive study, Landscape and Memory, “it is our shaping perception that makes the difference between raw matter and landscape”.1 So, too, our sense of place comes not merely from the physical landforms we inhabit but also from within us, our mode of viewing, which is informed by culture and history. This thesis explores the sense of place formed during childhood, as remembered by adult Australians who reconstruct their youth through various forms of life writing.

Richards * The Sandgroper, Cylindracheta spa., is usually pictured as a rather affectionate, harmless little character which has become an unofficial emblem of Western Australia. Its habit of spending its life burrowing and digging in the sandy soils of our coastal areas has been responsible for the name "sandgropers" to describe West Australians. However, in the Gingin, Dandaragin, Badgingarra and other coastal areas, sandgropers have damaged crops of barley, sweet lupins and wheat in the last few years, in some cases causing Adult sandgroper.

  • Tapetosa, a New Monotypic Wolf Spider Genus from Western Australia (Araneae: Lycosidae: Lycosinae)
    Records of the Western Australian Museum 25: 309–314 (2009). Tapetosa, a new monotypic wolf spider genus from Western Australia (Araneae: Lycosidae: Lycosinae) Volker W. Framenau1, 2, Barbara York Main2, Mark S. Harvey1, 2, 3 and Julianne M. Waldock1 1Department of Terrestrial Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] 2School of Animal Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia 6009, Australia 3Research Associate, Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA; Research Associate, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, California, USA Abstract – A new monotypic Australian wolf spider genus, Tapetosa, with T. darwini as type species, is described for the ‘Carpet Wolf Spider’, which is known from granite outcrops in the southeastern Wheatbelt of Western Australia. Tapetosa belongs to the lycosid subfamily Lycosinae, but has a unique somatic morphology amongst wolf spiders, which is characterised by a dorso-ventrally flattened cephalothorax and abdomen associated with the spiders inhabiting narrow crevices under the granite sheets of rocky outcrops. The central tarsal claw is reduced and covered by extended scopulate setae probably facilitating movement on solid rocky surfaces. The tegulum of the male pedipalp carries a unique retrolateral protrusion. IntroductIon lack of adult specimens ensured that the Carpet Wolf Spider could not be assigned to any of the four The first mention of an undescribed wolf spider subfamilies of Lycosidae known from Australia, exclusively inhabiting crevices under the rock Artoriinae Framenau, 2007; Zoicinae Lehtinen & slabs on granite outcrops in southwestern Western Hippa, 1979; Venoniinae Lehtinen & Hippa, 1979, Australia was by Barbara York Main in her classic or Lycosinae Sundevall, 1833.

    Western Australian Museum Annual Report 2004-2005 Jandamarra Crossing Artists: Alwin Reamillo and Roselin Eaton Photograph by Norman Bailey © Western Australian Museum, 2005 Coordinated by Ann Ousey and Nick Mayman Edited by Roger Bourke Designed by Charmaine Cave Layout by Gregory Jackson Published by the Western Australian Museum Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986 49 Kew Street, Welshpool, Western Australia 6106 www.museum.wa.gov.au ISSN 0083-87212204-6127 Cover: Jandamarra Crossing Artists: Alwin Reamillo, Filipino Australian, and Roselin Eaton, Walmajarri, 2003 Mixed media installation, including bamboo, beer cans, rubber tyre tubing, flicker-flame resin cast heart with electric component, motorised propeller with electrical component, motion sensor and organic material including emu feet, kangaroo leg, bush turkey feathers. Miniature landscape comprises plastic/rubber animals, miniature helicopters and termite mounds. This five-metre hybrid helicopter reflects the story of Jandamarra or Pigeon, a young Bunuba hero who led the resistance against the invasion and pastoral occupation of Aboriginal lands in the Kimberley in the 1890s. Jandamarra was an exceptional marksman and his improvised manufacture of ammunition using found materials, as well as his ability to evade capture by the authorities earned him a reputation that has become legend. He was said to be able to fly like a bird and disappear like a ghost. The helicopter is also a visual reference to the importance of aerial mustering as part of the pastoral industry in which so many Bunaba people continue to be involved. Initially proposed as an experiment in collaborative art-making with mature age students at Karrayili Adult Education Centre, the project was developed by accomplished Filipino Australian artist and teacher Alwin Reamillo, with Roselin Eaton, an Walmajarri artist, student and arts worker.
