    ____________________________________________________________________________________________ PO Box 437 Kalamunda WA 6926 +61 08 9257 1625 [email protected] REVIEW OF FLORA, VEGETATION AND FAUNA VALUES ON LOTS 5 & 6 (NO 1728) GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY, BULLSBROOK 1. INTRODUCTION Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned in November 2018 by Brikmakers to undertake a flora, vegetation and fauna assessment of a proposed expansion area for clay and sand extraction to the south of Walyunga Road. The proposed expansion area occurs on approximately 15.9141 hectares of which 2.31ha consists of isolated trees and small remnants of Jarrah, Marri and Wandoo over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.17ha consists of Banksia trees over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.08ha consists of planted trees on the proposed southern sand pit, 0.08 consists of isolated Sheoak trees over pasture and 0.03ha consists of an isolated Marri tree on the proposed clay pit, see Figures 1 and 2 and Appendix A (photographs). The majority of the area is completely degraded and is currently used for grazing cattle. In the remaining areas of trees, the understorey is dominated by pasture species or introduced species. The latter degraded nature of the area has resulted from the agricultural activities on the area. It is also intended to clear a small section (620m2) of the road verges of Walyunga Road, Bullsbrook, Figure 3 and Appendix A. The area occurs on the Pinjarra plain on the eastern section of the Swan Coastal Plain. The section of road verge is proposed to be required to ensure safe access to the areas to the south of Walyunga Road.

  • Nyungar Tradition
    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI). Nyungar Tradition by Lois Tilbrook is based on the South West Aboriginal Studies project (SWAS) - in which photographs have been assembled, not only from mission and government sources but also, importantly in Part ll, from the families. Though some of these are studio shots, many are amateur snapshots. The main purpose of the project was to link the photographs to the genealogical trees of several families in the area, including but not limited to Hansen, Adams, Garlett, Bennell and McGuire, enhancing their value as visual documents. The AIATSIS Library acknowledges there are varying opinions on the information in this book. An alternative higher resolution electronic version of this book (PDF, 45.5Mb) is available from the following link. Please note the very large file size. http://www1.aiatsis.gov.au/exhibitions/e_access/book/m0022954/m0022954_a.pdf Consult the following resources for more information: Search the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI) : ABI contains an extensive index of persons mentioned in Nyungar tradition.
