It celebrates wonderful coastal and inland landscapes in this large state of ours, and respectfully acknowledges ‘care for country’ by Aboriginal people, before white settlement and up to the present day. We have read widely about Aboriginal culture and quote practices and stories only if these are in the public domain, for example, in research papers, early settlers’ journals, Native Title reports, and web pages by Aboriginal people.

    GriffithREVIEW47.indb 1 21/01/2015 3:43 pm Praise for Griffith Review ‘Essential reading for each and every one of us.’ Readings ‘A varied, impressive and international cast of authors.’ The Australian ‘Griffith Review is a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in current affairs, politics, literature and journalism. The timely, engaging writing lavishly justifies the Brisbane-based publication’s reputation as Australia’s best example of its genre.’ The West Australian ‘There is a consistently high standard of writing: all of it well crafted or well argued or well informed, as befits the various genres.’ Sydney Review of Books ‘This quarterly magazine is a reminder of the breadth and talent of Australian writers. Verdict: literary treat.’ Herald Sun ‘Griffith Review editor Julianne Schultz is the ultra-marathoner of Australian cultural life.’ Canberra Times ‘At a time when long form journalism is under threat and the voices in our public debate are often off-puttingly condescending, hectoring and discordant, Griffith Review is the elegant alternative.’ Booktopia Buzz ‘Griffith Review is a consistently good journal. There is some terrific writing on display as well as variety and depth to the issues being grappled with.’ The Age ‘Australia’s most important literary essay magazine.’ Courier-Mail ‘At once comfortable and thought-provoking, edgy and familiar, [it] will draw the reader through its pages.’ Australian Book Review ‘Griffith Review is a wonderful journal. It’s pretty much setting the agenda in Australia and fighting way above its weight… You’re mad if you don’t subscribe.’ Phillip Adams ‘Once again, Griffith Review has produced a stunning volume of excellent work.

  • Attachment 8.5.1
    The Thematic Framework 1. Aboriginal Society The Denmark Shire lies in the Bibbulmun cultural area which is part of the wider Noongar country region, although the area just west of the Hay River is typically an area of overlap where, prior to European settlement, both Bibbulmun and Minang groups met regularly for ceremonial and economic purposes. As such, Noongar Elders now consider it important to consult representatives from both groups on cultural heritage and natural resource management activities in Denmark town and the eastern part of the Denmark Shire. Bibbulmun and Minang country is deep in the Noongar cultural bloc. The Noongar people are the traditional people of the southwest region of Australia with their own distinctive language and cultural practices, as distinct from their semi-desert dwelling neighbours. In their evidence to the Federal Court hearings (Federal Court of Australia 2006:38), the Noongar claimants noted that the southwest region: … was occupied and used by Aboriginal people who spoke dialects of a common language and who acknowledged and observed a common body of laws and customs. Those Aboriginal people recognized local and regional names within the broader society but shared a commonality of belief, language, custom and material culture, which distinguished them from neighbouring Aboriginal groups and societies. Responsibility for and control, particular areas of land and waters, were exercised by sub-groups or families, but the laws and customs under which the sub-groups possessed those rights and interests were the laws and customs of the broader society. The Bibbulmun and Minang people represent regional sub-groups of the broader Noongar cultural bloc.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: The Porongurup National Park is a place of exceptional biological and ecological significance. The Park has one of the richest concentrations of plant species in Australia with more than 700 native plant species within the park of 2,621 hectares. The place is also highly endemic for a wide array of plant species, and represents an important remnant of the rich flora of south west Western Australia in a largely cleared agricultural landscape. Examples of plant groups which contribute to this outstanding richness and endemism include: heaths (Epacridaceae) especially beard- heaths (Leucopogon); peas (Fabaceae) notably flame-peas (Chorizema) and also bitter-peas (Daviesia and Bossiaea), and poison-peas (Gastrolobium); native myrtles (Myrtaceae); pimeleas (Thymelaeaceae), notably rice flowers (Pimelea); sundews and pitcher plants (Nepenthales); bloodroots, conostyles, kangaroo paws and their allies (Haemodorales); and banksias and grevilleas (Proteales). It is also important for richness in lilies, orchids and allies (Liliales), notably native lilies (Anthericaceae), irises and allies (Iridaceae), and orchids (Orchidaceae).
