April/May 2015 Page 4 From the President 4 As the Society's awards are about to be recognised I ponder how may geographers assist our economy? The Society was founded in 1885, and at that time geographical enterprise was seen as an integral part of a speedily developing economy. The Society was used as a facilitator for primary activity, particularly mining and pastoralism. Several expeditions were administered through the Society's office up to the 1930s. The term commercial geography was then espoused amongst the Society's objectives. We, the country, are now about to be faced with some far thinking dilemmas. The Commonwealth Government's Intergenerational Report (IGR) released this month is both a confronting and an optimistic document. It confronts us to do nothing less than rethink our social contract, but gives us great optimism that if Australia makes the right decisions now, we are in a position to lock in living standards that are the envy of the world. Rethinking the social contract will require us to make choices about what government - that is, Australian taxpayers - can be expected to pay for. It requires us to rethink how government services are provided, and the contributions individuals should make to their own education, healthcare and retirement. And yes, many of us will need to work longer.' Geographical disciplines are able to provide some of the answers. Getting this right is all about how we manage the transition. IGR data which projects that, without fundamental policy change, by 2055: Commonwealth government net debt will be almost 60 per cent of GDP or $2.6 trillion in today's dollars. Commonwealth government spending will reach 31per cent or almost one-third of GDP. Health spending will be 5.7per cent of GDP by 2055 or around $6600 per person, compared with $2800 today. Aged pension spending will reach 3.6 percent of GDP. Facing up to our intergenerational challenges should be a binding obligation for every Australian and every government. April/May 2015 Page 5 That means both of the major political parties must put forward a compelling vision and a practical plan of action for how to manage.' (Lyn Roeder Weekend Australian 7/8 March 2015) Geographical analysis can also assist with our population trends over the next 20 years. The federal government says the number of Australians aged 65 and over is expected to increase rapidly to 6.2 million, or one quarter of the population, by 2042. This threatens to curb economic growth in years ahead, so encouraging older employees to continue working is no longer optional but key to maintaining the country's economic vitality. This may seem like a gloomy subject but there is potentially a silver lining to this social and demographic change. The swelling ranks of mature workers are a valuable resource for businesses and for volunteer groups. Older Australians can teach the rest of us a thing or two about the world of work, its systems and idiosyncrasies. The careers of younger workers will benefit if they are willing to listen to their elder’s in• sights.. A proportionately high number of mature workers are found in sectors such as manufacturing, transport, healthcare and education. These sectors benefit significantly from the depth of experience and knowledge this older workforce brings to their jobs. Encouraging staff to find a mentor is a good first step. This too I think is a niche for geographers. Younger employees can learn a lot from mature workers who have already achieved the career goals they aspire to. Employers should help staff find a mature mentor, in their organisation or within their industry or field of experience, and let them tap into the veteran's knowledge when making career development decisions. Help employees try to up-skill. Older workers often enjoy imparting the benefit of their years of experience to a protégé. This Society has participated on the fringes of this activity through training placements for students and for community members increasing their skills through exposure to diverse general and cultural administration duties. The Society also provides a vibrant outlet for those older South Australians, and not April/May 2015 Page 6 so old, to give back to the community, as volunteer time, their knowledge skills and experience. This has led to the Society also assisting in the contribution of GDP to the State through its guide books publications, SA Geographical Journal and its free lecture program content. These publications and lectures online are sought throughout Australia thereby increasing the communities collective knowledge and skills and attracting ideas and visitors.

Margaret Duggan Office Manager April/May 2015 Page 7 From the (Interim) Editor On returning from a walking trip in the South East recently, I chose to spend some time in Penola, particularly to visit the Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre. First stop however, was the John Riddoch Centre, formerly the Mechanics Institute and Public Library built in 1869. It now houses the Penola/Coonawarra Visitor Information Centre, but what drew my attention was the Local History Display where I was able to discover the fascinating economic, agricultural and social history of the area.

Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 24 0 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bill Doyle This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Mount Remarkable National Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Mount Remarkable National Park is considered a major conservation asset and has long been cherished by South Australians. The park is renowned for its rugged ranges, quartzite ridges and gorges, dense vegetation and diverse habitats supporting several species of conservation significance. The spectacular beauty of the reserve makes it a popular attraction for overnight and day visitors, who frequent the park to enjoy bushwalking, camping, picnicking and sightseeing. The plan defines a series of objectives and actions for the future management and use of this significant reserve, and facilitates the development and implementation of high quality conservation programs and visitor facility improvements. Many people have contributed to the development of this plan of management. Their interest and helpful suggestions are gratefully acknowledged. I now formally adopt the plan of management for Mount Remarkable National Park under the provisions of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.
