EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Main Roads Western Australia (‘Main Roads’) is proposing to upgrade a section of Hamersley Drive and extract gravel from adjacent materials pits within the Fitzgerald National Park and on private property near Hopetoun. Main Roads wish to determine whether any sites of significance to Aboriginal people will be affected by this proposed work thereby fulfilling their obligations under the Western Australian Aboriginal Heritage Act (1972). Specifically the scope of the survey includes: A 20m wide survey corridor either side of Hamersley Drive where the road would be widened by up to 2m meters and then sealed, inclusive of the three beach access roads between the Culham and Hamersley Inlets within the Fitzgerald National Park (see fig 1, location page). Three gravel extraction pits, located along Hamersley Drive within the Fitzgerald National Park that have been previously used and partially rehabilitated (see fig 1, location page). A further three gravel pits and one sand extraction pit located outside of the national park on private property within Lot 6382 Steeredale Road and Lot 95 Hamersley Drive at Hopetoun (see fig 2 & 3, location page). A search of the DIA Sites Register has revealed no previously recorded ethnographic Aboriginal heritage sites to be located within the survey areas. It is the view of the authors of this report that the lack of previously recorded ethnographic sites in the survey area is due to two factors. Firstly the areas in question have not be subject to rigorous ethnographic enquiry as there has only been a small and limited number of commercially driven Aboriginal heritage surveys conducted in the region in recent years. Secondly, due the events at Cocanarup late last century, there has been a considerable attenuation of traditional religious knowledge lost to the descendants of the areas traditional Aborigines (see ethnographic background). What knowledge that does exist is generally associated with the importance of the coastal inlets to Noongar people’s traditional economies for fishing, and for mythological associations with waterways in terms in the belief that the ‘Marchant’, a mythic snake that is said to have created and is the guardian of water. Subsequently areas around the Culham and Hamersley Inlets are likely to be places of ethnographic importance. Two previously recorded archaeological sites have been identified to be located within the survey area, Site ID 4934 West Beach and Site ID 19596 Location G Gnamma Hole (see Appendix: 1, for sites register searches). Site ID 4934 West Beach’s DIA coordinate locates the site 65m south east of the car park at West Beach. The site will be potentially affected by the proposed upgrade to the car park should the car park be widened. Site ID 19596 Location G Gnamma Hole DIA coordinate locates the site 630m west of the south west corner of proposed gravel pit B and 560m southeast of the southeast corner of proposed gravel pit C and will not be affected by the materials extraction proposal at Lot 6382 Steeredale Road (see Appendix :3 for maps of archaeological sites). As these sites are archaeological a full analysis of these sites nature and extent is contained in the separate archaeological report by Guilfoyle 2010. 3 REPORT OF AN ETHNOGRAPHIC ABORIGINAL HERITAGE SURVEY OF THE HAMERSLEY DRIVE UPGRADE AND MATERIALS EXTRACTION PITS WITHIN THE FITZGERALD RIVER NATIONAL PARK AND HOPETOUN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA. As a result of consultations conducted with representatives of the Wagyl Kaip WC98/070 and Southern Noongar WC96/109 Native Title Claim groups no new sites of ethnographic significance as defined by Section 5 of the Western Australian Aboriginal Heritage Act (1972) were identified to be located within the Hamersley Drive designated survey area, or within the materials extraction pits located on Lot 6382 Steeredale Road and Lot 95 Hamersley Drive. In regards to the archaeological site, ‘Kurda Gorge Site’, identified and recorded by Applied Archaeology Australia, representatives of the above Native Title Claim groups have assigned this site as a place of high cultural significance and have recommended that the site should be preserved in situ and that a heritage management plan should be formulated to protect the site, should work to seal the existing road be conducted within the area. At present there is no support within the group for Main Roads to implement a plan to widen the road to the west of West Beach Road turn off to the Hamersley Inlet. In the opinion of the Native Title Claim groups consulted this would likely affect the ‘Kurda Gorge Site’ to an unacceptable level. In regards to the previously recorded archaeological site, ID 4934 West Beach, representatives of the Wagyl Kaip WC98/070 and Southern Noongar WC96/109 Native Title Claim groups could not determine a cultural significance assessment for the site as they were unable to relocate the site during the survey and did not have sufficient information regards the nature and extent of the site upon which to base a decision. The group stated that at present the site was under no threat from simply sealing the existing road and were happy for this to take place. However should the car park at the beach require substantial modification to accommodate tour busses then the group would wish an archaeologist to determine the effect that these plans would have on the integrity of this site before being re-consulted with a request to support disturbance to the area under an application for ministerial consent. The group stated that if the site was small and not scientifically significant then the group would consider salvaging the site with Noongar participation as long as no artefacts are taken away from the area. In regards to the materials extraction pits within the national park the Noongar community were not supportive of plans to extract gravel as the issue of the spreading dieback through an iconic national park was a paramount concern. It was also stated that the areas were likely to be problematic in terms of disturbance to sub surface archaeological material and the clearing of culturally significant plant species used for food and medicine. The new material extraction pits located on private property on Lot 6382 Steeredale Road and Lot 95 Hamersley Drive were identified by the group to be clear of any heritage issues and environmental concerns. As a result of the ethnographic survey the following recommendations area made: As no sites of ethnographic significance as defined by Section 5 of the Western Australian Aboriginal Heritage Act (1972) were identified to be located within the survey areas, it is recommended that the work can proceed without any risk of affecting ethnographic sites of significance.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin i Centre for Aboriginal Studies The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: An Ethnographic Biography Bernard Rooney This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Curtin University of Technology March 2002 ii TO MY FRIEND THE LATE EDWARD “NED” MIPPY iii ABSTRACT Cast in the dual genre of ethnographic biography, this thesis is focused on the life, work and vision of the late Edward “Ned” Mippy, an Aboriginal Elder of the Yuat Nyoongara Community who devoted the latter years of his life to promoting and developing the cultural identity of his people. As biography, it portrays the life of Mr. Mippy with particular emphasis on the factors which help to highlight his understandings and his vision for an Indigenous cultural renewal. As ethnography, the study is intended as a vehicle for wider concerns, evoking an interpretative glimpse of his community and contributing a new perspective of that community as a continuing social entity. These aims are broadly set forth in the brief introduction. The first chapter of the thesis then outlines the origin and development of the research project and the evolution of its methodology. Chapter two presents a picture of Mr. Mippy’s life experience, largely in terms of his own recorded memories and perceptions, while chapter three places his later life in a community context which includes historical, personal and demographic perspectives. The following two chapters, four and five, present various accounts of the work undertaken by Edward Mippy.

  • Nyungar Tradition
    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI). Nyungar Tradition by Lois Tilbrook is based on the South West Aboriginal Studies project (SWAS) - in which photographs have been assembled, not only from mission and government sources but also, importantly in Part ll, from the families. Though some of these are studio shots, many are amateur snapshots. The main purpose of the project was to link the photographs to the genealogical trees of several families in the area, including but not limited to Hansen, Adams, Garlett, Bennell and McGuire, enhancing their value as visual documents. The AIATSIS Library acknowledges there are varying opinions on the information in this book.

  • South Coast Region Regional Management Plan
    SOUTH COAST REGION REGIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 1992 - 2002 MANAGEMENT PLAN NO. 24 Department of Conservation and Land Management for the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority and the Lands and Forest Commission Western Australia PREFACE Regional management plans are prepared by the Department of Conservation and Land Management on behalf of the Lands and Forest Commission and the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority. These two bodies submit the plans for final approval and modification, if required, by the Minister for the Environment. Regional plans are to be prepared for each of the 10 regions administered by the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM). This plan for the South Coast Region covers all lands and waters in the Region vested under the CALM Act, together with wildlife responsibilities included in the Wildlife Conservation Act. In addition to the Regional Plan, more detailed management plans will be prepared for certain critical management issues, (the most serious of which is the spread of dieback disease in the Region); particular high value or high conflict areas, (such as some national parks); or for certain exploited or endangered species, (such as kangaroos and the Noisy Scrub-bird). These plans will provide more detailed information and guidance for management staff. The time frame for this Regional Plan is ten years, although review and restatement of some policies may be necessary during this period. Implementation will take place progressively over this period and there will be continuing opportunity for public comment. This management plan was submitted by the Department of Conservation and Land Management and adopted by the Lands and Forest Commission on 12 June 1991 and the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority on 19 July 1991 and approved by the Minister for the Environment on 23 December 1991.

  • ECU Celebrates Chinese 'Year of the Snake'
    Bunuru Edition: Feb / Mar 2013 Inside This Edition Connecting with Nyoongar Elders Cultural Diversity Week in Schools Linking with our Bunbury campus Measuring the Momentum NAIDOC Week Theme announced The Wagyl at the opening of the Chinese New Year Multicultural Concert ECU celebrates Chinese ‘Year of the Snake’ Staff and friends of Kurongkurl Katitjin performed in the opening of the Chinese New Year Multicultural Concert in Northbridge, held on Sunday 10 February 2013. In the Chinese calendar, 2013 is the Year of the Snake and Kurongkurl Katitjin was invited to perform a Wagyl* dance with the giant snake puppet, produced for ECU’s NAIDOC celebrations last year. CAUTION: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are warned that an article in this newsletter does include reference to a person who has passed on and this Story continued on page 3 may cause distress. Kurongkurl Katitjin, pronounced ‘koor-ong-kurl cut-it-chin’, is a Nyoongar phrase meaning ‘coming together to learn’. Welcome from the Head of Centre Welcome to the Bunuru edition of Our Place, the official newsletter of Kurongkurl Katitjin, Centre for Indigenous Australian Education and Research at Edith Cowan University. This edition of Our Place sees Kurongkurl Katitjin out and about in the community. Firstly, we had the privledge of performing at the opening of the Multicultural concert for Chinese New Year. In helping celebrate the ‘Year of the Snake’, our Wagyl puppet (from last year’s NAIDOC event) was a particular highlight at the event, with many people wanting photos with the puppet after the performance. We also had the opportunity to further promote Nyoongar culture with Kingsley Montessori School and Willetton SHS, which were both celebrating Cultural Diversity Week with various activities.
