Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Low-Temperature Thermochronologic
    Low-temperature thermochronologic insights into the exhumation of the northern Gawler Craton (South Australia) Max Charles Reddy November 2014 Max Reddy Exhumation of the Northern Gawler Craton LOW-TEMPERATURE THERMOCHRONOLOGIC INSIGHT INTO THE EXHUMATION OF THE NORTHERN GAWLER CRATON (SOUTH AUSTRALIA) EXHUMATION OF THE NORTHERN GAWLER CRATON ABSTRACT The Gawler Craton (South Australia) records a complex thermal history during the Phanerozoic. Previous work has indicated that the central Gawler Craton was largely exhumed during the Carboniferous as a far-field effect of the Alice Springs Orogeny. Besides this widespread exhumation event, localised Mesozoic and Tertiary thermal events have been documented for the central Gawler Craton as well. The extent of these events into the northern Gawler Craton is not well understood as low-temperature thermochronological data is lacking for this region. For this study, granitoid samples along a roughly north-south transect through the northern and central Gawler Craton were analysed using the apatite fission track (AFT) and apatite (AHe) and zircon (ZHe) U-Th-Sm/He methods. Results from these low-temperature methods yield Neoproterozoic through to Cretaceous AFT, AHe and ZHe ages. Cumulative AFT age plots reveal a multi-phase Phanerozoic cooling history for the central and northern Gawler Craton. Significant AFT age peaks were found at ~480-450 Ma and ~350-300 Ma. The Ordovician age peak is thought to be related with the final stages of the Delamerian Orogeny, while the Carboniferous age peak is interpreted as being a far field response to the Alice Springs Orogeny. This is consistent with previous interpretations throughout South Australia.

  • Soil Conservation Board District Plan : Northern Flinders Ranges
    Soil Conservation Board District Plan Revised 2004 NORTHERNNORTHERN FLINDERSFLINDERS RANGESRANGES FOREWORD The Northern Flinders Soil Conservation Board has been involved in various activities since the inception of our first District Plan, which was completed in 1997. Most of the activities that we pursued since that time have been carried out or on-going. Several new projects have been completed, namely the Aroona Dam Biodiversity Enhancement Project. This project has seen the construction of two walking trails, interpretive signage, feral animal control including goats, foxes and cats, as well as a comprehensive destruction of rabbit warrens and land rehabilitation. Another project was a Pilot Programme, which involved local landholders, Animal Plant Control Commission and NPWSA in a range of activities including weed control, feral animal control and land rehabilitation. This integrated with the NPWSA Bounceback Programme in feral goat control, donkey control and 1080 baiting for foxes. Some projects undertaken by landholders were rabbit warren destruction, water point relocation, land rehabilitation and water ponding to name just a few. The Northern Flinders Soil Conservation Board has also become involved with a Regional Soil Board Executive, which has sourced funding from N.H.T. grants from the Commonwealth Government. Most of this funding is on a 50/50 basis and has met with approval from landholders throughout the Soil Board region. The proposed Natural Resources Management Act has yet to be legislated and further meetings are planned before it will become law. There are a number of concerns by Boards in the Rangelands of South Australia not the least of which is the ongoing funding of these proposed groups and the people who will drive them.
