  • Longreach Info
    Nice to know!!! Some interesting information about Longreach and what you can do here. The Longreach Region, Capital of the Outback, incorporates the vibrant towns of Ilfracombe, Isisford, Yaraka and Longreach, each offering unique attractions: The traditional owners of the land are the Iningai people, accord- ing to records there are no known Iningai people in existence to- day. The Iningai people lived along the Thomson River from near Stonehenge to Muttaburra prior to European occupation. Innin- gai Park is a nature reserve that is part of the Longreach Town Common and includes sections of floodplain and waterholes along Gin Creek. Unfortunately, there are no recognized Iningai tradi- tional owners remaining. Several Indigenous families from the Barcaldine and Longreach areas are now the historical custodians of what is left of the Iningai culture; these people are the custodi- ans of the Iningai Keeping Place. Visit world class attractions in Longreach, Qantas Founders Mu- seum, Powerhouse Museum and the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame. Take a Cobb ‘n’ Co ride thru the scrub or a cruise on the Thomson River. Discover Ilfracombe, renowned throughout Australia for its pre- served history, the ‘Great Machinery Mile”, Langenbaker House, and the Historic Wellshot Hotel and Centre.

  • Areas of Western Queensland
    DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Vol. I. 1958 Number 3 Cropping for Fodder Conservation and Pasture Production in the Wool-growing Areas of Western Queensland BY P. ]. SKERMAN, D.Agr.Sc., B.A., Q.D.D. Department of Agriculture , University of Queensland Fryer 53 .U695 v.l no.3 THE UNIVEHSITY OF QUEENSLAND PRESS, BHISBANE Printed by "TRUTH" and "SPORTSMAN" LTD. 367-373 Brunswick Street, Valley, Brisbane, Q. 1958 CROPPING FOR FODDER CONSERVATION 87 foreword The Wool Industry of Queensland conti·ihutes very largely to the prosperity of the State. In the period 19ll-1945, wool was responsible annually for 15 to 25 per cent. of the total value of production and from 50 to 60 per cent of pas­ toral production in Queensland. Of overseas exports, wool accounted for about 50 per cent. In view of the importance of this industry, it is regrettable that so little has been ploughed hack in the form of research to assist the production side of the industry. Mr. J. G. Crawford, Director of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, on February 2nd, 1947, requested that Australian Universities investigate the economic problems of the wool industry. This request was enthusiastically received by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland, Mr. Story, and plans were developed for work in Queensland by a Committee of University Staff, in consultation with Mr. P. A. Reid of the Bureau of J.Agri­ D. cultural Economics, to commence a Wool Research Programme. Later, an Advisory Committee was established in Queensland with repre­ sentatives from the University, Department of Agriculture and Stock and the Lands Department.

  • The Role of Climatological Normals in a Changing Climate
    THE ROLE OF CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE WCDMP-No. 61 WMO-TD No. 1377 World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme World Meteorological Organization (Geneva, March 2007) (Contributions by: B. Trewin) Edited by: Omar Baddour and Hama Kontongomde ©2007 World Meteorological Organization WMO/TD No. 1377 NOTE The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of any of the participating agencies concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. This document is not an official WMO publication and has not been subjected to WMO’s standard editorial procedures. The views expressed herein do not necessarily have the endorsement of the WMO. THE WCDMP “GUIDELINES” SERIES In recognizing the need for National Meteorological Services (NMHSs) to improve their climate data and monitoring services, the WMO’ Commission for Climatology (CCl) placed a high priority on the distribution of guidelines for the NMHSs. Within the World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme, under the Open Programme Area Group (OPAG I) on Climate Data and Data Management the Expert Team on Data Management initiated the preparation of this guidelines Document. These guidelines are intended to provide NMHSs with information on best practices in climate data management and assist them in making the transition from older databases, such as CLICOM, to the kind of systems that are providing much greater utility, security and robustness. The Guidelines document was drafted by a sub-group of the CCl Expert Team on Climate Data Management and reviewed externally.
