All Rights Reserved DAY ONE Mini Palms and Echidna Chasm Walk, Purnululu National Park 6.7km for Mini Palms and 2.7km for Echidna Chasm (total 9.4kms) – moderate to hard approx 3-4 hours walking Depart Kununurra at 6.30am from the Lakeside Resort and 7am from the Kimberley Grande (please be ready to go just before pickup time). We make our way to the northern end of the Purnululu National Park and the start of our first walk of the day into Echidna Chasm – which is perhaps one of the most well known in the Park. This return walk through a narrow chasm with some large boulders to be scrambled over. Visually stunning as you look up between the narrow gap of tall red cliffs to the brilliant blue sky way above. This walk starts almost right away in a dry creek bed and there are lots of rocks to climb over. Before long you are in the gorge and will notice the sides close in dramatically. The rocky path continues as you weave your way through the tight spaces between the rock walls. The second walk is the Mini Palms Gorge Walk. This is a moderate to hard return walk to a scenic amphitheatre with many young palms which stand out against the rich red backdrop. The first few kilometres are easy and then things get a bit more difficult. When you start to get into the gorge there are some very large conglomerate boulders to climb over and walk in between for a little while. This section is more difficult and the turn-around point for anyone who feels it is too much of a challenge. After the boulders we walk back to creek bed before climbing up some rock and tree root stairs, followed by a man-made staircase and platform. There are two platforms and before long you reach the second platform which is the end of the trail. We then retrace our steps back to the vehicle. There is the opportunity for optional scenic helicopter flights over the Bungle Bungle Range – Own expense. Flights start at $269 pp. Breakfast, lunch prepared by guides and three-course dinner at the Bungle Bungles Wilderness Lodge Restaurant. (Drinks at own expense) Accommodation: Overnight at Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge - Ensuited safari tents The eco-friendly Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge is set in the wilderness of Purnululu National Park World Heritage Area.

Larissa: I think a lot of Australians don't know that history because I know I definitely didn't until I came up into the Kimberley and then you're exposed to it. Um, and - 'cause living in a city like you - you do - you - you end up in your little bubble and your - your life and this is how things are and - and you don't step outside of that box until you either travel and then you get a little taste of it or you - you go somewhere and experience it. Cameo: Today we travel to one of Australia’s most iconic and remote regions. Located in the North-West corner of Australia, the Kimberley is famous for its spectacular scenery. Rocky outcrops, cascading waterfalls and rare plants and animals draw many visitors each year. These dramatic landscapes have also been the site of brutal and traumatic histories for Aboriginal people at the hands of White settlers. In 2004 Aboriginal people had their underlying rights to land recognized over a large swathe of the Kimberley. This recognition came under Australia’s Native Title Act, which is often touted as delivering direct benefit to Indigenous people.

Hon Robin Chapple to the Minister for Environment representing the Minister for Lands In relation to the Govemment's support for carbon sequestration proj ects on Westem Australia's pastoral leases, I ask: (a) which carbon sequestration project methods approved under the Federal Government's Emissions Reduction Fund fall within the definition of 'pastoral purposes' as outlined under Westem Australia's Land Administration Act 1997; (b) when does the Govemment expect it will be in a position to start providing eligible interest holder consent for carbon sequestration projects on pastoral leases; (c) is the Govemment considering providing consent for all carbon sequestration projects that have been provisionally registered with the Emissions Reduction Fund, or only those projects that have been successful in securing contracts to supply carbon credits to tile Federal Govemment; (d) is the Govemment aware that by 1 July 2019, over 20 per cent of Westem Australian pastoral leases will have te=s that are less than 25 years, and that consequently under current legislation, pastoralists and other leaseholders will be unable to register a carbon sequestration proj ect because they require tenure of at least 25 years duration; (e) what are the names of the pastoral leases and the regions in which they are situated that, at 1 July 2019, will have 25 years or less of their terms left to run; (f) of the leases listed in (e), how many are Aboriginal-owned; (g) will the Govemment provide for leaseholders to undertake carbon sequestration proj ects of a duration of 100 years which is the intemationally accepted and compliant standard; and (h) if yes to (g), what tenure will provide for such projects?

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The Western Australian Museum holds a vast collection of specimens representing a large portion of the 106 currently recognised taxa of dragon lizards (family Agamidae) known to occur across Australia. While the museum’s collection is dominated by Western Australian species, it also contains a selection of specimens from localities in other Australian states and a small selection from outside of Australia. Currently the museum’s collection contains 18,914 agamid specimens representing 89 of the 106 currently recognised taxa from across Australia and 27 from outside of Australia. This includes 824 type specimens representing 45 currently recognised taxa and three synonymised taxa, comprising 43 holotypes, three syntypes and 779 paratypes. Of the paratypes, a total of 43 specimens have been gifted to other collections, disposed or could not be located and are considered lost. An annotated catalogue is provided for all agamid type material currently and previously maintained in the herpetological collection of the Western Australian Museum. KEYWORDS: type specimens, holotype, syntype, paratype, dragon lizard, nomenclature. INTRODUCTION Australia was named by John Edward Gray in 1825, The Agamidae, commonly referred to as dragon Clamydosaurus kingii Gray, 1825 [now Chlamydosaurus lizards, comprises over 480 taxa worldwide, occurring kingii (Gray, 1825)].

    Vol. 5 SEPTEMBER 15, 1974 No.6 Northern Kimberley Birds By H. R. OFFICER, Olinda, Victoria. Cut off from Derby by a triple barrier of ranges, and from Wyndham by equally difficult country with rough rivers to cross, the Northern Kimberleys were isolated and generally neglected until the beef-road construction was begun less than ten years ago. Previously the tracks were so rough and damaging to the cattl~ being driven to the Derby meatworks, that the "Air-beef" project was conceived and put into operation as an alternative at Glenroy Station. This proved quite efficient, though somewhat costly, until the beef-road was completed, and the availability of road-trains rendered it redundant. This "Air-beef" project is probably about all that most people know of the Kimberleys. When I made my first visit in 1967 the road had got only as far as Mount Barnett Station, and I overcame the difficulty by flying out from Wyndham to my friend's property "Doongan". On this visit I was fortunate to get the opportunity to visit the Denedictine Mission at Kalumburu, for the mission fathers definitely do not welcome visitors. My host had ordered Townsville Lucerne seed from them and had to collect it, so I got the chance of a legitimate visit. I should say that the fathers proved most hospitable. After G. F. Hill covered the north of the Kimberleys in 1909, collecting for Gregory Mathews, no interest was taken in the area until the British Museum/Harold Hall Expedition went there in 1968. What I saw during my stay at "Doongan", and during a second visit a month later, coming up by road as far as Mount House Station, whetted my appetite for more, and I was delighted when I received an invitation to join Mrs.

    Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia

    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.
