  • Fact Sheet 13
    ABORIGINAL PEOPLE Fact Sheet no.13 Aboriginal people believe that they have been living in Australia since the beginning of time. Their complex cultural and spiritual connections to the environment and their kinship system have developed through their belief in the Dreaming, which is a time of creation, passed on from generation to generation and still seen today through stories, songs, dances, ceremonies and art. Recent research has determined that Aboriginal people were part of the first wave of modern humans out of Africa. Aboriginal people are thought to have possibly first occupied the Australian continent 60,000 years ago. Radiometric carbon dating also indicates that they were likely to have occupied the Sydney region as early as 40 000 years ago during the time of the last Ice Age. Prior to the European invasion, Aboriginal people in the Willoughby area relied on the marine environments of Sydney Harbour, Broken Bay and the many creeks , rivers and wetlands for much of their food. They also harvested and hunted for food from the surrounding bush. The bush was the supermarket, the hardware shop, the pharmacy and the church. Being self-sufficient, Sydney Aboriginal people had little need to travel far from their lands as the resources in the area were abundant and trade with other clans was well established. Moving throughout their country in accordance with the seasons, Aboriginal people spent only four to five hours per day working to ensure their survival. With such a large amount of leisure time available, they developed a rich and complex ritual life - language, customs, spirituality and the law - the heart of which is the connection between the people, Country and spiritual beliefs.

  • Lane Cove Bushland Park
    LANE COVE BUSHLAND PARK by Ray and Elma Kearney The first Australian Fungal Heritage site In November, 2000, the first fungal heritage site for Australia, located at Lane Cove Bushland Park (LCBP), was listed on the Register of the National Estate, under the Australian Heritage Commission Act, 1975. Ray and Elma Kearney, members of and on behalf of the Sydney Fungal Studies Group Inc. (SFSGI) prepared the application submitted for the listing for Lane Cove Council (the owner and manager of LCBP). The submission was based primarily upon the total number of species of Hygrocybe found there, known unofficially to exceed 25, easily ranking the site as one of heritage value. Previously, in January 1999, two applications under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 were submitted by Ray and Elma Kearney, on behalf of the SFSGI to the Scientific Committee established under the Act. The Determination resulted in the Hygrocybe Community at LCBP being legislated as an Endangered Ecological Community. A Final Determination is currently being considered on the second application that seeks to list at least six holotypes of Hygrocybe as Rare Native Species. Lane Cove Bushland Park (LCBP) LCBP is a site in the middle of a high-density residential area about 4 km from the Sydney G.P.O. Centred about a tributary of Gore Creek, the warm temperate gallery forest has an assemblage of at least 25 species of the family Hygrophoraceae (Fungi, Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Hygrophoraceae). The species in the community were formally identified and classified by Dr A. M. Young (1999). The following species have been recorded in the community : Hygrocybe anomala var.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia
    Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (2001) 53, 63–77 doi:10.1006/ecss.2001.0792, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia V. Hatjea,c, G. F. Bircha and D. M. Hillb aEnvironmental Geology Group, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia bEnvironment Division, ANSTO, Lucas Heights, NSW 2234, Australia Received 27 June 2000 and accepted in revised form 20 February 2001 Major elements (Al, Ca, Fe and Mn) and trace elements (Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn and Ni) in operationally defined available and total particulate phases have been determined along an axial transect of the Port Jackson Estuary during twelve surveys between 1998 and 1999. Salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and suspended particulate material (SPM) were also measured. Temporal and spatial variability were tested by two-factor analysis of variance. Throughout the estuary Zn and Ni exhibited a uniform distribution. It is suggested that the low reactivity of these elements may be a result of the water physicochemistry, low SPM concentrations and long residence time in the Port Jackson Estuary. Anthropogenic sources of Zn and Ni are widespread in the Port Jackson catchment, and also contribute to the spatial distribution observed in the estuary. The distributions of particulate Cu and Pb are significantly affected by anthropogenic inputs, particularly, from the southern embayments in the lower estuary. It is suggested that the increase of Cu and Pb seaward is also related to sorption of these elements on Fe-Mn oxides. Mixing, however, can largely account for the distribution of Cr, which was the only element that presented significant decrease in concentration with increasing salinity.
