    The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. Why we called them what we called them. The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. A lot of thought and research has gone into the naming of Googong North’s streets, parks and playgrounds. So we thought we’d share the stories behind these names that may have already become such a familiar part of your life at Googong. The stories are all rooted in the region’s history. Googong’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces celebrate the rich history of the natural indigenous custodians of the land. The streets pay homage to the early settlers of the region, as well as places and personalities from more recent history. We hope you enjoy discovering a little more about the pre-Googonian era! 1 Googong North streets, parks and playgrounds CONTENTS STREETS GOOGONG’S NGUNAWAL A H N PAST Aitken Street 3 Hale Street 10 Nano Street 17 Alchin Street 3 Hanns Street 10 Nellie Street 17 Bunburung Thina 24 Amy Alley 3 Hawes Street 10 Newton Street 17 Annlouise Lane 3 Hawke Street 10 Norma Street 17 Nangi Pimble 24 Aprasia Avenue 3 Hearne Street 10 Ayliffe Street 3 Heath Lane 10 O Yerradhang Nguru 25 Heazlett Street 10 O’Hara Lane 17 B Helen Circuit 11 Munnagai Woggabaliri 25 Bailey Crescent 4 Henshaw Street 11 Baker Crescent 4 Hopkins Street 11 P The original residents Bambridge Parade 4 Hopper Walk 11 Percival Road 18 and their rich history 25 Banks Street 4 Pickering Street 18 Baxter Loop 4 I Plummer Street 18 Pollack Street 18 Beltana Avenue 4 Ida Lane 11 Beltana

Presenter: David Shorthouse Over the past fi ve years the ANU and the ACT Government have been collaborating in a program of ecological research in the Mulligans Flat and Goorooyarroo nature reserves. The aim of this work is to improve our understanding of how to our woodlands should be man- aged and to improve their conservation values and perhaps restored to their former glory. Part of the research relates to the construction of a predator-proof fence around much of Mulligans Flat. Dr David Shorthouse, Visiting Fellow at the ANU’s Fenner School for the Environment and Society and formerly Manager of the ACT’s wildlife research programs will explain the background to the research and where it is leading.

  • An Integrated Water Account for the Canberra Region
    Bringing two water accounts together – an integrated water account for the Canberra region INFORMATION PAPER FOR THE LONDON GROUP MEETING, DUBLIN, 1-4 OCTOBER 2018 Wayne Qu, Steven May, Mike Booth, Janice Green and Michael Vardon Australian Bureau of Statistics Environment and Agriculture Statistics Development Section Water accounting is a way of arranging water information to suit a variety of management and policy needs. It provides a systematic process of identifying, recognising, quantifying, and reporting information about water and how it has been used. In Australia, there are many types of water accounts produced by a variety of business and government organisations, from catchment management regions to river basins, states, territories and at the national level. As competition for water resources increases so too does the need to fully and consistently account for how water is shared between the economy, people and the environment. In Australia, two Federal government agencies – the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) – produce annual national water accounts of different types, for differing but complementary purposes. This project utilises the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) and Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1) frameworks to integrate these water accounts, which were individually compiled under the two different frameworks. It provides an excellent example of a National Statistical Office (NSO) working with another government organisation to produce a valuable set of integrated environmental-economic accounts. This paper outlines four types of integrated water accounts for the Canberra region produced as a result of this ABS/BoM collaboration, including water condition, water assets, physical and monetary supply and use accounts, as well as highlighting the benefits of combining two sets of water accounts constructed under two different frameworks.

  • Carps, Minnows Etc. the Cyprinidae Is One of the Largest Fish Families With
    SOF text final l/out 12/12/02 12:16 PM Page 60 4.2.2 Family Cyprinidae: Carps, Minnows etc. The Cyprinidae is one of the largest fish families with more than 1700 species world-wide. There are no native cyprinids in Australia. A number of cyprinids have been widely introduced to other parts of the world with four species in four genera which have been introduced to Australia. There are two species found in the ACT and surrounding area, Carp and Goldfish. Common Name: Goldfish Scientific Name: Carassius auratus Linnaeus 1758 Other Common Names: Common Carp, Crucian Carp, Prussian Carp, Other Scientific Names: None Usual wild colour. Photo: N. Armstrong Biology and Habitat Goldfish are usually associated with warm, slow-flowing lowland rivers or lakes. They are often found in association with aquatic vegetation. Goldfish spawn during summer with fish maturing at 100–150 mm length. Eggs are laid amongst aquatic plants and hatch in about one week. The diet includes small crustaceans, aquatic insect larvae, plant material and detritus. Goldfish in the Canberra region are often heavily infected with the parasitic copepod Lernaea sp. A consignment of Goldfish from Japan to Victoria is believed to be responsible for introducing to Australia the disease ‘Goldfish ulcer’, which also affects salmonid species such as trout. Apart from the introduction of this disease, the species is generally regarded as a ‘benign’ introduction to Australia, with little or no adverse impacts documented. 60 Fish in the Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment: A Review of Current Knowledge SOF text final l/out 12/12/02 12:16 PM Page 61 Distribution, Abundance and Evidence of Change Goldfish are native to eastern Asia and were first introduced into Australia in the 1860s when it was imported as an ornamental fish.

VOLUME 25 MAY 1988 NUMBER 5 PresMextt's Prattle Many members would be aware of the work undertaken by the Kosciusko Huts Association (KHA) and have welcomed the shelter provided by the mountain huts. Indeed over recent months members of CBC have been involved in carrying out repairs to Boltons Hill Hut. At its last meeting the KHA addressed a couple of matters which are likely to be of interest to our membership. The Association's membership decided to award three life memberships in recognition of the work and support provided by three members all od whom also belong to our club. On behalf of the Club. I would like to congratulate Reet Vallak and Bob and Sybil Story - it is great to see such labours recognised. On another matter, the KHA is to work with the ACT Parks and Conservation Service in maintaining a number of huts in the Namadgi National Park- As a starting point, the Association is conducting three maintenance weekends on Frank's Hut just of the Old Boboyan Road. The scheduled weekends are: 21" 22nd of May. 18-19th of June and 2-3rd of July. Any members interested in being involved in this or on projects specific to other Namadgi huts are invited to contact Peter Rose on 282691(h). For those who are interested in finding out more about the Namadgi huts and their history. Graeme Scully from KHA is giving a talk at the National Trust Headquarters in Deakin on Wednesday the 8th of June at 7.30pm.
