  • Clare Regional History Group
    CLARE REGIONAL HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER WINTER 2012 JOIN OUR FUNERAL PROCESSION On December 8-9, 1862, a solemn cavalcade of camels, horses and their riders passed through what is now the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council area, on its way to Melbourne via Adelaide. The camels carried the bleached bones of doomed explorers Burke and Wills that had been retrieved from Coopers Creek, following their deaths the previous year. Thousands of people lined the route of this sombre group. The sorrowful end of Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills, two ambitious explorers who put their lives on the line to discover a south-north link across the vast unknown heart of Australia, had captured the hearts and emotions of everyone in the young country of Australia. A small committee, comprising members of the Clare Regional History Group, Mount Horrocks Historical Society and the Rhynie Improvement Committee is planning a re-enactment of ‘The Burke and Wills remains retrieval cavalcade’ to mark the 150th anniversary of this significant event in history. In spite of what we now know of the deficiencies in the Burke and Wills expedition, their deaths were the cause of great sorrow and mourning. As the cavalcade of horses and camels passed from town to town, flags flew at half mast, shops closed their doors and many people wore black and bowed their heads in respect. As with the original, the re-enactment cavalcade, consisting of two camels carrying representations of the bodies of Burke and Wills and a number of horses and riders, will leave Bungaree Station after breakfast on Sat 8th December 2012 and travel into Clare where it will be greeted at the town hall by the Mayor at midday.

  • Wakefield River Catchment Action Plan
    Wakefield River Catchment Action Plan Introduction The Wakefield Catchment Action Plan (CAP) draws together information and feedback from a wide range of community members and summarises the most important features of the catchment and the issues that we face in managing them. This summary will be used to inform the strategic direction of Natural Resources Management (NRM) in the catchment and align with other planning and natural resource management actions occurring across the Northern and Yorke region. In the decade since the previous report, there has been a substantial shift in community knowledge, expectations and attitudes towards environmental and natural resources management issues. Natural Resources Northern and Yorke has worked with the community, natural resource management experts, scientists, government agencies, local government and non-government organisations to develop this plan and capture these changing attitudes. This collaboration has helped to ensure that the CAP reflects the priorities of a wide range of community and stakeholders, including investors such as the South Australian and Australian Governments. The CAP is not intended to encompass every possible issue or action, but to identify the high priority actions without which some of our most important assets will collapse. The Wakefield River CAP provides a strategic way forward – a plan of action – for the community who will be managing the Catchment’s natural resources over the next ten years. The Wakefield catchment The Wakefield catchment is in the Mid North region of South Australia, approximately 100 kilometres north of Adelaide and covers around 690 square kilometres. The Wakefield River is one of the three main ephemeral rivers in the Mid North and the catchment is flanked by the catchments of the Broughton River to the north and Light River to the south.

For ease of surveying and data recording, the Trail was divided into 16 management sections. Overall, 82 indigenous native plant species, 108 introduced weeds species and at least 21 planted exotic native species were recorded. The native vegetation along the Trail is predominantly SA Blue Gum (Eucalptus leucoxylon) grassy woodland. South of Leasingham it becomes more open, with native grasses, herbs and low shrubs, and scattered trees. Areas of the nationally threatened Peppermint Box Grassy Woodland ecological community are close by, but not represented along the Trail corridor. Areas of high biodiversity value vegetation on the Trail link to larger remnants in the landscape and provide important habitat for native animals, including declining woodland bird species. Some sections of the Trail, or areas within sections, are dominated by woody weeds (Olives, Pines, Hawthorn, Roses, Broom species) and grass weeds.
