The signatures on the petition were mainly collected at two events that were held in Marrickville during April and May 2018. These events were the Anzac Day Reflection held on 25 April 2018 in Richardson’s Lookout – Marrickville Peace Park and the National Sorry Day Walk along the Cooks River via a number of Indigenous Interpretive Sites on 26 May 2018. The purpose of the petition is to creatively showcase the history and culture of the local Aboriginal community along the Cooks River and to publicly acknowledge the role of Pemulwuy as “father of local Aboriginal resistance”. The action petitioned for was expressed in the following terms: “We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge Inner West Council in conjunction with Council’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group (A&TSIRG) to designate the walk between the Aboriginal Interpretive Sites along the Cooks River parks in Marrickville as the Pemulwuy Trail and produce an information leaflet to explain the sites and the Aboriginal connection to the Cooks River (River of Goolay’yari).” A total of 60 signatures have been collected on the petition attached.

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • Measurements of Snapping Shrimp Noise Along the Cooks River, Sydney
    Paper Number 91, Proceedings of ACOUSTICS 2011 2-4 November 2011, Gold Coast, Australia Measurements of Snapping Shrimp Noise along the Cooks River, Sydney Marshall V. Hall 9 Moya Crescent, Kingsgrove, New South Wales 2208, Australia ABSTRACT The Cooks River is a 23-km meandering urban waterway of south-western Sydney, and empties into Botany Bay. The tidal section is around 11 km long and supports significant numbers of mangroves, birds, and fish. Due to the tides, the salinity fluctuates but falls off slowly with distance upstream. Underwater ambient noise has been measured from 18 bridges over the lower 12 km of the river. Apart from occasional traffic noise that transmits into the river from some bridges, the only sounds heard underwater have the characteristics of (saltwater) snapping shrimp. The Peak Sound Pressure Level of the strongest snaps is in the neighbourhood of 180 dB re 1 Pa2 at positions up to 3 or 4 km upstream from the river mouth, but then falls steadily as the measurements are repeated further upstream, al- though a previous survey of snapping shrimp distribution with a dipnet found a population 9 km upstream. The pre- sent finding is however consistent with previous findings for benthic life generally, which suggests that the snapping shrimp distribution may be limited by available food. The quieter sounds upstream are due to propagation of sound from the shrimp within 4 km of the mouth rather than more local shrimps, even though there are three 90-degree bends in the river course upstream of 4 km. Previous work has found that much of the riverbed is mostly sand, and should thus be a good reflector of sound.
