Notes on Birds of the Wittenoom Area, Western Australia VOL. 11 (Q) DECEMBER 19!.16 247 AUSTRALIAN BIRD WATCHER 1986, 11,247-257 Notes on Birds of the Wittenoom Area, Western Australia By MAX HOWARD, 'Avon Hill', P.O. Box 327, Toodyay, W.A 6566 Summary An annotated list is provided of birds observed within 80 km of Wittenoom, Western Australia, from January 1982 to December 1983. The study area includes the Hamersley Range National Park. One hundred and fourteen species (69 non-passerines and 45 passerines) were recorded. The list is compared with previously published lists for the region, including the National Park. The Fortescue River flats, a scarce wetland habitat in the region, appear to be very important for water birds. Introduction Wittenoom townsite (22° 14' S, 118° 20' E) is located about 1 450 km north of Perth, and is situated at the base of the Hammersley Range. Wittenoom was founded in about 1938 as an asbestos mining centre. Since the closure of the asbestos mine in 1966, Wittenoom has gradually decreased in population, and now the town has a population of around 100 people. However, tourism brings about 30 000 people during April-October. The town is near the edge of the Hamersley Range National Park which covers 617 606 ha, making it the second largest national park in Western Australia. This study supplements previous information on the birds of the region (Fletcher 1980, Johnstone 1980, Storr 1984).

Rain usually falls in the period December-March, as summer thunderstorms and tropical cyclones. Winter rains from the south sometimes occur during April­ September. Mean annual rainfall and rainfall during the study period are detailed in Table 1, the latter so that breeding records can be related to rainfall during the time of the study (January 1982 to December 1983). The habitats in the study area comprise Mulga Acacia aneura woodland, Eucalyptus woodland, creekside vegetation and open spinifex (Triodia sp.) flats. • 'Mulga Downs' -s-..,. lu lt?ERSt.t:;.-- R..q"V.

  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.

  • The Original Mammal Fauna of the Pilbara Biogeographic Region of North-Western Australia
    DOI: 10.18195/issn.0313-122x.78(1).2010.285-298 Records of the Western Australian Museum, Supplement 78: 285–298 (2010). The original mammal fauna of the Pilbara biogeographic region of north-western Australia Alexander Baynes1 and Matthew C. McDowell2 1Research Associate, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. Email: [email protected] 2Mammal Section, South Australian Museum, North Tce, Adelaide South Australia 5000; and School of Biological Science, Flinders University of South Australia, PO Box 2100, Adelaide, South Australia 5001, Australia. Abstract – The hills and ranges of the Pilbara contain large numbers of caves, but only a miniscule proportion of these holds mammal remains that can be used to reconstruct the original (i.e. pre-European) fauna. During two fi eld seasons in 1985 and 2004, only 12 sites with bones were discovered. Material from three other sites lodged in the collections of the Western Australian Museum was also used. Thirty-six native mammal species plus the introduced House Mouse were identifi ed from cave surface remains. Compared with the fauna known from live-caught specimen records and the results of the Pilbara Biodiversity Survey, rodent species are comprehensively represented among the remains, dasyurid marsupials and bandicoots are moderately well represented, macropodoids are poorly represented, and bats (except two cave-roosting species) hardly represented at all. Results of this study indicate that the Central Rock-rat (Zyzomys pedunculatus), and probably the Golden-backed Tree-rat (Mesembriomys macrurus), originally occurred throughout the Pilbara ranges. Chuditch (Dasyurus geoffroii) is recorded from the Pilbara for the fi rst time, suggesting that it may have occurred in the lowlands, while Northern Quoll (D.

  • Millstream Water Reserve Drinking Water Source Protection Plan West Pilbara Integrated Water Supply Scheme
    Important information The Millstream Water Reserve drinking water source protection plan (2010, WRP no.116) was reviewed during the 2017–18 financial year. Please ensure you read the Millstream Water Reserve drinking water source protection review (2018, WRP no.178) alongside the 2010 plan to obtain all of the information about this drinking water source. The 2018 review considers changes that have occurred in and around the Millstream Water Reserve since 2010. An assessment of previous recommendations has been done and additional recommendations have been prepared to ensure the ongoing protection of this source, including: reducing the water reserve boundary under the Country Areas Water Supply Act 1947 updating the protection zones to reflect the existing production bores.
