Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

  • FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the BURNETT RIVER
    Bureau Home > Australia > Queensland > Rainfall & River Conditions > River Brochures > Burnett FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the BURNETT RIVER This brochure describes the flood warning system operated by the Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology for the Burnett River. It includes reference information which will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins issued by the Bureau's Flood Warning Centre during periods of high rainfall and flooding. Contained in this document is information about: (Last updated September 2019) Flood Risk Previous Flooding Flood Forecasting Local Information Flood Warnings and Bulletins Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins Flood Classifications Other Links Burnett River at Mundubbera Flood Risk The Burnett River is located on the southern Queensland coast with the mouth of the river sited just north of the City of Bundaberg. The total area of the catchment is about 33,000 square kilometres. The Burnett River rises in the Dawes Range, just north of Monto and flows south through Eidsvold and Mundubbera. Along the way it is joined by the Nogo and Auburn Rivers which drain large areas in the west of the catchment. Just before Mundubbera, the main river is joined by the Boyne River draining areas from the south and then begins its northeasterly journey to the coast. Between Gayndah and Mt Lawless, the Barker-Barambah Creeks system joins the Burnett River. Major flooding in the Burnett River is relatively infrequent. However, under favourable meteorological conditions such as a tropical low pressure system, heavy rainfalls can occur throughout the catchment which can result in significant river level rises and floods.

Wells P.O. Box 826, Lismore, New South Wales Australia, 2480 Introduction As a prelude to further work on the Chelidae of Australia, the following considerations relate to the Elseya dentata species complex. See also Wells and Wellington (1984, 1985) and Wells (2002 a, b; 2007 a, b.). Elseya Gray, 1867 1867 Elseya Gray, Ann. Mag. Natur. Hist., (3) 20: 44. – Subsequently designated type species (Lindholm 1929): Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863). Note: The genus Elseya is herein considered to comprise only those species with a very wide mandibular symphysis and a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw. All members of the latisternum complex lack a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw and so are removed from the genus Elseya (see Wells, 2007b). This now restricts the genus to the following Australian species: Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, 2006 2006 Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, Chelon. Conserv.

  • Dam Threat to a Decade of Restoration of the Mary River, Queensland
    Dam threat to a decade of restoration of the Mary River, Queensland Glenda Pickersgill1, Steve Burgess2 and Brad Wedlock3 1 Save the Mary River Coordinating Group. Web: www.savethemaryriver.com 2 Gympie and District Landcare Group. Web: www.gympielandcare.org.au 3 Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC). Web: www.wb2020.qld.gov.au/icm/mrccc/main.htm Abstract The banks of the Mary River and its tributaries were once covered with rainforest species that protected the banks from erosion during floods. However these streams have generally become wider and shallower as a result of clearing, with many banks actively eroding, destroying valuable ecosystems and river flats in the process. The Mary Catchment has been identified in studies as an aquatic biodiversity hotspot and contains a number of endemic endangered species. Over the past decade, millions of dollars in government funding for river restoration has helped landholders and other interested community members to establish programs for restoration of the Mary River catchment. In 2004, the Mary River community was awarded the coveted National Rivercare Award. Now legislative and policy changes empowering the State Government and water corporations to capture, store and transfer large quantities of water out of the catchment into the proposed South East Queensland water grid, place these successful restoration activities and the community that has participated since 1995 at risk. This paper describes restoration works conducted in the Mary Catchment, and outlines the present and future impacts of the Traveston Crossing Dam proposal on the catchment, the restoration projects and communities. Keywords Traveston Crossing, endangered species, Ramsar wetlands Introduction South East Queensland is one of the fastest growing areas in Australia.

  • Planning for Stronger More Resilient Floodplains
    Queensland Reconstruction Authority Planning for stronger, more resilient floodplains Part 1 – Interim measures to support floodplain management in existing planning schemes The scale and scope of the weather events which affected Queensland in 2010/2011 meant that to plan and build stronger, more resilient communities into the future, Councils need better information to make informed decisions about how and where we build. To assist Queensland’s Councils, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (the Authority) has undertaken the largest floodplain mapping exercise in the State’s history. The maps contained in the toolkit - Planning for stronger, more resilient floodplains are drawn from evidence of past flooding, including soils, topography and satellite imagery. They are informed by the 2010/2011 summer disasters but do not represent the actual flood line for that period. Why? Because while the whole of Queensland was affected last summer, we know there have been larger floods in some areas in the past. What the maps do show are areas where inundation has previously occurred or may occur. At the conclusion of this mapping exercise, floodplain mapping will be available for the whole of Queensland. The State’s river systems do not stop at local government boundaries and so for the first time, these floodplain maps have been developed on a sub-basin wide basis. And with them, comes the opportunity for Councils to adopt the floodplain maps and supporting development controls into existing planning schemes. This Guideline provides Councils - especially those who lack the resourcing capacity to undertake detailed studies - with a ready- made toolkit to help assess future development applications and the opportunity to better align floodplain management and land use planning.

  • Summary of Weather and Flood Events
    1.Summary.of.weather. and.flood.events What follows is an overview of the weather events leading up to and during the 2010/2011 floods with a summary of their effects across the state. It is not intended as an exhaustive account. 1.1.Summary.of.weather.leading.to. 1 2010/2011.flood.events The Queensland wet season extends from October to April, with the initial monsoonal onset usually occurring in late December. The 2010/2011 wet season was different. In June 2010 the Australian Bureau of Meteorology warned that a La Niña event was likely to occur before the end of the year.1 The La Niña change has historically brought above average rainfall to most of Australia and an increased risk of tropical cyclone events for northern Australia. Previous La Niña effects had been associated with flooding in eastern Australia, including the large scale and devastating floods which occurred in 1955 and 1973/1974.2 As predicted, a strong La Niña event took place in the Pacific Ocean in late 2010. La Niñas are often described in terms of a positive Southern Oscillation Index, which represents the normalised pressure difference between Darwin and Tahiti and gives a positive reading when pressures are high in Tahiti and low in Darwin.3 The index ranges from about -35 to +35.4 During December 2010 the Southern Oscillation Index was +27.1, representing the highest December value on record and the highest monthly value since 1973.5 In turn, Australia experienced an extremely strong La Niña during the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011; the second strongest
