The Cobar Peneplain Bioregion lies in central NSW west of the Great Dividing Range. It is one of only two of the state’s bioregions to occur entirely within the state, the other being the Sydney Basin Bioregion. The bioregion extends 2. Climate from just south of Bourke to north of Griffith, has a total area of 7,334,664 ha, The Cobar Peneplain is one of 6 bioregions that lie in Australia’s hot, and occupies 9.2% of the state. The bioregion is bounded to the north and persistently dry semi-arid climatic zone. This climate is complemented by east by the Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion, to the east by the South Western patches of sub-humid climate on the southeastern boundary of the Slopes Bioregion, and by the Riverina and Murray Darling Depression bioregion and, in the south, these areas are characterised by virtually no dry Bioregions to the south and west. The northwestern part of the Cobar season and a hot summer (Stern et al. 2000). Peneplain Bioregion falls in the Western Division. Throughout the year, average evaporation exceeds the average rainfall. The Cobar Peneplain Bioregion encompasses the townships of Cobar, Rainfall tends to be summer dominant in the north of the bioregion and Nymagee, Byrock, Girilambone, Lake Cargelligo and Rankins Springs with winter dominant in the south (Creaser and Knight 1996, Smart et al. 2000a). Louth and Tottenham lying at its boundary. Temperatures are typically mild in winter and hot in summer and exceed 40°C In the north of the bioregion, Yanda Creek, a major stream, discharges directly for short periods during December to February (Creaser and Knight 1996).

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:37 20 August 2016 THE BROKEN PROMISE OF AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS The question of food and our reliance on the global agricultural system has become one of the defining public concerns of the twenty-first century. Ecological disorder and inequity is at the heart of our food system. This thoughtful and confronting book tells the story of how the development of modern agriculture promised ecological and social stability but instead descended into dysfunction. Contributing to knowledge in environmental, cultural and agricultural histories, it explores how people have tried to live in the aftermath of ‘ecological imperialism’. The Broken Promise of Agricultural Progress: An environmental history journeys to the dry inland plains of Australia where European ideas and agricultural technologies clashed with a volatile and taunting country that resisted attempts to subdue and transform it for the supply of global markets. Its wide-ranging narrative puts gritty local detail in its global context to tell the story of how cultural anxieties about civilisation, population and race, shaped agriculture in the twentieth century. It ranges from isolated experiment farms to nutrition science at the League of Nations, from local landholders to high-profile moral crusaders, including an Australian apricot grower who met Franklin D. Roosevelt and almost fed the world. This book will be useful to undergraduates and postgraduates on courses examining international comparisons of nineteenth- and twentieth-century agri- culture, as well as those studying colonial development and settler societies. It will also appeal to food-concerned general readers. Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:37 20 August 2016 Cameron Muir is Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University and the National Museum of Australia.

As disclosed in its Bidder’s Statement, HQ Mining recognises the Company’s immediate funding requirement to progress the Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) at the Copper Hill Project. HQ Mining’s intention is to facilitate a pro-rata rights issue to raise sufficient funds to complete a PFS. HQ Mining has indicated its desire for that issue to be completed in July/August 2016. Pending the proposed capital raising, the Directors have secured the necessary funding to support the ongoing activities of the Company through the divestment of non-core assets and the provision of a short-term loan facility by HQ Mining. Non-Core Asset Divestment During the quarter the Company received $300,000 from the divestment of non-core assets. These included the divestment of: the Mt Boppy royalty for $200,000, For personal use only the interest in the Wagga Tank Joint Venture for $40,000, and EL7390 for $60,000 (as announced on 23 October 2015) Golden Cross Resources Limited: March 2016 Quarterly Page 1 of 15 HQ Mining Loan Facility The Company entered into a loan agreement with HQ Mining for $320,000 on normal commercial terms and payable in three tranches.

  • ABSTRACT the Girilambone Region Between Cobar, Nyngan, Bourke
    ABSTRACT At the Mount Torrens prospect, minor Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation in calc-silicate rocks occurs at the base of The Girilambone region between Cobar, Nyngan, Bourke and Nymagee in western New South Wales has an extensive regolith composed of in situ and transported materials of greatly varying thickness (ca. 2-100 m). This regolith obscures the underlying bedrock and its contained ore deposits. It presents major challenges for mineral exploration in the region, particularly for surface techniques. The regolith geology and related surface processes also control soil types, landform features and landscape stability, important for agriculture and natural resource management. The regolith composition, architecture and geochemistry of the region were investigated during a three year collaborative project between CRC LEME and the Geological Survey of the NSW Department of Primary Industries. This study combined data from regional regolith-landform- mapping and information obtained by air core drilling and sampling along a series of roadside traverses to produce an integrated three dimensional understanding of the regolith. Five 1:100 000 scale regolith-landform maps were produced (BYROCK, SUSSEX, COOLABAH, CANBELEGO and HERMIDALE). A total of 247 air core holes were drilled at depths ranging from 3 to 82 m, generally spaced between 1 and 4 km along 12 traverses mostly in an east to northeasterly orientation (7571 m of total drilling). Drill cuttings were logged visually and with the aid of a PIMA. Samples were collected for geochemical analysis and partial X-ray diffraction analysis from composites of 1 m intervals in the top 9 m and from larger interval composites below this.
