  • Chapter 18: Lachlan River Catchment
    18 Lachlan River Catchment Maitland Mercury & Hunter River Advertiser, 5 April 1862 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 18-1 The Lachlan (From the Empire’s Correspondent) March 30 – The continued absence of rain causing stoppage of the puddling machines for want of water, is the sole reason of the small escort leaving tomorrow. As before stated, the river, one mile distant, is tabooed for washing purposes to the last dregs, so that the returns per escort will diminish until we are blessed with the winter’s rain. Great quantities of fish have this week been picked up by hand out of the bed of the lagoon between the Victoria and Caledonian loads, some of the codfish weighing over 30 pounds weight, besides bream, perch and jewfish, the latter being one of the oddest of the finny tribe, presenting the appearance of half newt, with porpoise head and feelers round the mouth. This fish deposits its ova in a gravelly cell on the bottom using stones of upwards of a pound weight in their construction (as a blackfellow asserts). Certain it is that little mounds, of beehive form, abound in this lagoon, containing gravel. Maitland Mercury & Hunter River Advertiser, 5 April 1862 18-2 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin Figure 18.1 The Lachlan River Catchment showing major waterways and key localities True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 18-3 18.1 Early European Accounts George Evans explored west of Bathurst and in May 1815, encountered a large stream which was to be named the Abercrombie River.

  • Street Trees in Eudunda
    Street Trees in Eudunda Identification and Recommendations for Management June 2006 Regional Council of Goyder CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Historical Perspective Current Use Design Objectives Design Principles Map Showing Survey Area 1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING TREES 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREES 3. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING STREETS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4. SUMMARY Street Trees in Eudunda 2 Oxigen Landscape Architects June 2006 Introduction This report has been prepared to assist in the identification of street trees in Eudunda, their management and recommendations for replacement if appropriate. It provides suggestions for each street and a list of suitable species that can be trialled in addition to those currently found in the town. The report was prepared by Oxigen Pty Ltd, Landscape Architects for the Regional Council of Goyder. The plant descriptions and some images are taken from “Shrubs and Trees for Australian Gardens”, by E.E. Lord, “Encyclopaedia Botanica”, “Gardener’s Companion to Eucalypts”, by I. Holliday and G. Watton, “Eucalypts of South Australia” and the “Flemings Nurseries” website. The photographs of the existing street trees were taken in May 2006. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Like other towns in S.A’s midnorth, Eudunda’s early settlers were quick to clear native vegetation in the district to provide timber for building and firewood. Cleared land also opened up pastures for grazing and arable land for agriculture. Once the layout of Eudunda and adjacent townships were established, gardens and street trees were planted to replace the tree cover, most often using species that were thought to offer a greater degree of amenity than the native trees they replaced.
