The most recent Program was the 16th in the series of prevocational courses delivered by the Myuma Group at Camooweal. Since 2007, over 400 participants have taken part in the Dugalunji Programs, with most graduates successfully moving on to employment in the mining, construction and other sectors throughout Queensland and further afield.

What is your favourite class at Myuma? I like Paul Memmott’s class inside, and outside I like Glen’s classes. I like all the outside classes. But the inside class I like is the Paul Memmott one, that was Hayden Smith-Marshall undertaking concreting at Duglaunji Camp.

Photo NPRSR Camooweal Caves National Park Management Statement 2013 Vision The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), in conjunction with the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu people, the Traditional Owners of the area, aim to restore and protect the natural and cultural values and to provide safe sustainable, nature based recreation and commercial tourism opportunities. Conservation purpose Camooweal Caves National Park of 13,800ha was initially gazetted on 23 January 1988 under the National Park and Wildlife Act 1975. It is approximately 24km south of Camooweal in north-western Queensland and 188km north-west of the city of Mount Isa and 14km east of the Northern Territory border. Camooweal Caves National Park is important for the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People who have dreamtime legends associated with the area, in particular the waterholes, rivers, sinkholes and caves. The Camooweal Caves are extensive cavern systems developed beneath the flat surface of the Barkly Tableland in the vicinity of Camooweal township. The park was established to provide representation of these more broadly occurring geological features.

  • Queensland Geological Framework

    Queensland Geological Framework

    Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier.

    Description of Ecological Communities: Arid Eucalypt Woodlands

    NEC 1.1: Bloodwood open woodlands of the northern inland plains Description Key flora and fauna and abiotic elements Woodlands dominated by Corymbia terminalis or C. opaca are grouped together in this NEC because they form communities with broadly similar biotic and abiotic features. There are eight communities in the NVIS data for the arid / semi-arid zone that contribute to its definition (Table 1). These woodlands occur in inland Queensland and Northern Territory. They are generally low open woodlands with a mixed shrub and grass understorey. The dominant bloodwoods are either C. terminalis or C. opaca. The geographic ranges of each of these species are broadly distinct (Figure 1), with C. terminalis to the north and east, and C. opaca more central and south (Hill and Johnson, 1995). Note that there are wide zones of intergradation between the various bloodwood species (Figure 1). Figure 1: Distribution of the bloodwood species: C. opaca (open circles), C. terminalis (plus), C. tumescens (solid circles), C. tumescens - C. terminalis (square), C. opaca - C. terminalis (open diamond) (from Hill and Johnson 1995, Fig 58). Species outside the semi-arid boundary have not been detailed here These woodlands grow on sandy to loamy red earths on flat or undulating sand plains (sub- communities 2, 4, 6, and 7), calcareous clays on plains or low-lying areas (sub-community 3 and 5) and alluvial soils on terraces and floodplains (sub-community 1) (Table 1, Attachment 1-1). The eucalypts in the bloodwood woodlands range from approximately three to 14 metres tall (Attachment 1-1). Some of the Queensland units (eg components of sub-community 2) contain variants that are Acacia dominated, often with emergent C.

  • The Camooweal Caves National Park Is Located 20Km from Camooweal in the Dry Barkly Tableland

    The entrance to Great Nowranie Cave, Camooweal. THE REMOTE KARSTS OF NORTH-WEST QUEENSLAND Riversleigh – Lawn Hill – Camooweal – Kent Henderson In late May this year I found myself in Mount Isa (north-west Queensland) on business for two weeks, so I ‘engineered’ a couple days towards the end of my trip to do a bit of karst tourism (as one would!). The City of Mount Isa (population 24,000) is, itself, a tad remote – being over two hours by air from Brisbane and about ten hours (900 km) by car from Townsville. There are three interesting karst locations within ‘striking distance’. First there is Riversleigh, the World Heritage-listed fossil site (in combination with Naracoorte Caves) 250 km north-west of Mount Isa. Second, there is the wonderful Lawn Hill National Park, about 30 km north of Riversleigh, and third the huge Camooweal karst area – 20 km south of the town of the same name – the town (population 320) being 189 km north-west of Mount Isa (only 13 km from the Northern Territory border). See the adjacent location map. My first excursion was to Riversleigh, but before doing so I visited the Riversleigh Fossil Centre – the principal ‘tourist trap’ in Mount Isa. It is very well done (as one would expect) – it is sort-of-like the Wonambi Fossil Centre at Naracoorte, but without all the moving megafauna. Upon entering, one sits in a small auditorium (decorated with fake speleothems…) to watch an introductory video – largely narrated by none other than Sir David Attenborough. Wonderful! One then winds through several short passages of excellent displays to a final room (more displays) – off which is the fossil lab.

  • Betty Kiernan

    Speech by Betty Kiernan MEMBER FOR MOUNT ISA Hansard Tuesday, 31 October 2006 MAIDEN SPEECH Mrs KIERNAN (Mount Isa—ALP) (2.50 pm): I am pleased, proud and most of all very privileged to speak for the first time in this House as the member for Mount Isa. On behalf of the people of my electorate, I extend our sincere congratulations on the election of the Hon. Mike Reynolds as Speaker of this parliament. As members representing people in electorates north of the Tropic of Capricorn and, in my case, west of the Great Divide, it is indeed a pleasure to keep the esteemed position of Speaker in the north. It is of great personal pride for me to stand here today as the representative for the seat of Mount Isa while I join this 52nd Parliament in a historic fourth term for the Labor Party. I am delighted and somewhat humbled at my good fortune. I believe I am making personal history today by being the first woman to be elected and, indeed, the first born member for the seat. My father, James, and my mother, Mary, travelled to Mount Isa in the early 1950s by train from Grafton, where my brothers and sisters, Ian, Francis, David and Pamela, were born. I was the last child and the only Queenslander of the family. My father moved to Mount Isa to work initially in the mine as an electrician. He left the mine to work for the Cloncurry Shire Council, the then administrator of Mount Isa, to manage the town power supply.
