Friends of Sandy Creek Conservation Park. II. Title. 598.099423 About the author Barry Hutchins’ passion for birds began 58 years ago when he obtained two pairs of homing pigeons. Since then his interest has expanded to include many facets of ornithology and aviculture, as diverse as becoming an honorary A class bird bander, and a cage bird judge at SA and NSW shows. Barry has always been keen to share his enthusiasm and knowledge, and has presented lectures in America and most states of Australia. He has published over 120 articles on birds, including co-authoring Australian Parrots A Field and Aviary Study and being a regional organizer for the Australian Bird Atlas 1998-2002. He has been office bearer, patron, and honorary life member of such organizations as the Avicultural Society of South Australia Inc and the Adelaide Ornithologists Club Inc. For nine years he was chairman of the South Australian National Parks Consultative Committee for Keeping and Trading in Native Fauna. Recognizing the integral links between birds and their environment, he has been recipient of the National Parks Foundation of South Australia Award for ‘many years of interest in the work of the Foundation and practical understanding of the principals of retaining significant vegetated land for biodiversity now and for future generations.’ With his wife Ruby he is also joint patron of Friends of Sandy Creek Conservation Park, and in 2000 they were awarded a South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Gold Life Entitlement Award for their work for conservation. Some of his awards include, in 1983, an Avicultural Federation of Australia Award for Achievements in Aviculture Research and an Avicultural Society of Australia Award for Aviculture and Ornithological Research. In 2000 Barry was awarded the Order of Australia for services to ornithology and aviculture. This current work is the culmination of one of the longest, continuous studies of its kind in Australia by an individual, and its publication is timely as areas such as Sandy Creek Conservation Park and the Old Barossa Gold-fields face increasing pressure from near-by development.

Many of my relatives remained, which gave me the opportunity to re-visit, and as a young person, explore the surrounding areas by walking along dirt tracks and through bushland in the 1940s. On occasional trips into the Old Barossa Gold-fields by horse and buggy I was amazed at the dense bushland, creeks with running water and the various sounds of bird life; these excursions were a source of great enjoyment. Many years later I was given the opportunity to explore the region in depth with the aim of studying the local bird life. In 1962 I was invited to join The Adelaide Ornithologists Club Inc., and during that time I was introduced to Max Waterman and Vic Woods, both bird-banders (Max was South Australian regional organizer for CSIRO Bird Banding Scheme, Canberra and Vic was a curator of bird skins at the South Australian Museum, Adelaide). During 1964-65-66 I accepted an invitation to accompany them (separately) on bird-banding field trips. That experience gave me a grounding in the use of mist nets, location selection for mist nets and collating banding data. The aim of my project, which began in 1966, was to study the seasonal movements of birds within a nine km radius of Sandy Creek by banding and recapture, with details on the life history of resident, nomadic and migratory species. Sandy Creek, situated approximately 52 km north-north-east of Adelaide, is on the northern edge of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges and lies between the townships of Gawler and Lyndoch in the southern Barossa Valley. Included within this area are Sandy Creek Conservation Park, the northern section of Para Wirra Recreation Park, the Barossa Reservoir and the Old Barossa Gold-fields. (figure 1) At the outset of the assignment I decided it would not be practical to band birds at random but rather to carefully select a few sites for the duration of the project. Having had prior knowledge of the region through bird observing, the selection of sites took into account areas that contained water points, canopy with good understorey, regular movement of birds and positions that were away from public interference. It was these factors that decided that the Old Barossa Gold-fields and the Sandy Creek Conservation Park (figure 2) were chosen as the major banding areas. The native vegetation in both regions ranges from sclerophyll forests with moderate to dense understorey, typical of the Mount Lofty Ranges, to the more open savannah on sandy soils, and to the stony slopes in drier areas. The avifauna, also, shows an intergradation between species; there are species that are confined, largely, to the denser vegetation of the Mount Lofty Ranges and species from the more arid regions, north and east of the Range. 1 Apart from a 10-year observational survey of Sandy Creek Conservation Park by Rix (1976) no other detailed information on this region exists. The taxonomy in this paper follows Christidis and Boles (1994) and Schodde and Mason (1999), and summarizes my observations on birds from 1966 to 1993 within nine km of Sandy Creek. 2 Figure 1 Sandy Creek and surrounding study area 3 Figure 2 Sandy Creek Conservation Park 4 Study areas and methods Banding sites were deliberately chosen to gain maximum banding of species and the recapture for longevity records, degree of movement between banding sites and fluctuations of bird populations brought about by seasonal conditions (table 1). A visual census of bird species during the banding project would also be addressed (tables 1, 4 and Appendix). The difference in terrain and some vegetation in Sandy Creek Conservation Park and the Old Barossa Gold-fields showed a separation or preference by some bird species for one location or the other. In this project I used three and four shelf Terylene mist nets of varying lengths.

  • The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And
    P The memory of deadly battlefields and desperate sieges is preserved in the title of some beautiful hamlet; while the scattered inhabitants of a secluded village rejoice in the borrowed plumes of some crowded European city. English and colonial statesmen are immortalised in hundred, river or agricultural area and royalty has not been forgotten… It is a matter for gratitude that… some of the euphonious and appropriate native names have survived the ordeal. (Advertiser, 12 August 1882, page 7c) Packard Bend - Situated on the River Murray, near Blanchetown. The 1864 date of the fatal drowning as stated by Rodney Cockburn in What’s In a Name would appear to be false because the Register of 29 September 1866 at page 4h says: ‘Francis Packard, a member of Mr Ebenezer MacGeorge’s survey party and formerly a member of the Northern Territory expedition [has] been drowned in the Murray… the body has not been recovered…’ Earlier, on 31 August 1866 it is said that the fatality occurred at ‘a station called Piapco … after swimming 150 yards he sank like a stone… The reminiscences of J.H. Packard, who arrived in the Asia in 1851,.are in the Observer, 1 January 1927 and an obituary on 17 August 1929: My personal experiences carry me back to 1868 when George Woodroffe Goyder was Surveyor-General of South Australia…The government of the day always consulted him in all matters connected with Crown lands, roads and proposed railways. He was never satisfied with the circuitous interstate railway… Being one of his surveyors he asked if I would care to undertake to survey an alternative line through the Torrens Gorge… [He concludes with a comprehensive summary of erroneous surveys made in connection with interstate boundaries - see under ‘South Australia’.] Paddington - An 1877 subdivision of part section 422, Hundred of Yatala, by James Williams and James W.

A desktop analysis of geomorphology, groundwater and ecology was used to define several GDE types, which may be considered to have common biophysical settings based on their particular combination of attributes. This method allowed for potential GDEs to be identified and an output of this process was the development of an inventory of potential GDEs for the study area (Table 7‐2).
