Tjupi Band played their hearts out for the crowd, even being joined on stage by Mayor Jeffrey McLaughlin, who got a reminder of how long it has been since he played hand drums, and what muscles he needs to use to play them. The bacon and egg sandwiches and coffee were popular, but café workers and volunteers kept the lines moving quickly. With the jumping castle, face painting and even a visit from Donald Duck the kids were able to have a barrel of fun while the adults enjoyed the live music. A great finale to a week of activities that the NAIDOC Committee should be proud of. Turn to pages 10-11 for more photo coverage.

  • Impacts and Management of Hard Water in Elliott, NT
    Impacts and management of hard water in Elliott, NT. November 2007 prepared by Nerida Beard, Centre for Appropriate Technology, Alice Springs for the Elliott District Community Government Council. This work was funded by an ongoing initiative of the national Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment. Abstract Elliott District Community Government Council requested that CAT investigate their concerns over the impacts of calcium build up or ”scale‘ in the water supplies in their two community jurisdictions, Elliott township and Marlimja outstation (Newcastle Waters). Staff reported major pipe failures from calcium blockages. Community members and maintenance staff reported frequent failures of bathroom and household appliances such as toilet pans, toilet cisterns, hot water systems and tap fittings. Elliott Council executive reported that the impacts of frequent and recurring infrastructure failures bore a large cost burden on the Council, and diverted overstretched housing maintenance skills to the repair of community and household plumbing. It was also reported by the Council that there were ancillary concerns in the broader community population about human health impacts of the mineral concentration in the water supply. CAT inspected a number of houses in both the township and the outstation, the major water sources, storages and excavated pipe sections. Groundwater bore information was collated from Northern Territory Government archives (DNRETA 2007). Council staff, the School Principal and Health Workers were interviewed for their views, concerns and experiences of the water supply impacts. A range of hard water management options were suggested and discussed by field workers, including failure management, preventive maintenance and water treatment options. A focus group between key Council workers was held to discuss the alternatives, gain an understanding of community capacity for each solution and develop a locally appropriate strategy for hard water management.

  • Bibliography of the Barkly Tablelands
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BARKLY TABLELANDS Samantha Cook and Eric Rooke Natural Resources Division Department of Lands, Planning & Environment Alice Springs May 1998 ReportNo. 06/1998A This report has been updated to include additional bibliographic references found after the 1998 production. Eric Rooke, August 1999 INTRODUCTION The main aim of the “Barkly / Gulf Water Resources Assessment” project entails mapping the regional water resources of the Northern Territory part of the Barkly Tablelands; an area of 160,000km2. (Overleaf is a location map of the region with 1:250,000 scale National Topographic Map Series sheet boundaries superimposed). Duties of the project include the assessment of water resource systems and production of a series of water information products (maps and technical reports). This project is funded under the auspices of the National Heritage Trust (National Landcare Program). The bibliography has been compiled for intended use as a reference resource. A comprehensive list of documents and maps relating to the Barkly region, since European settlement, has been collated and catalogued into discrete subjects; for example “water supply”, “geology”. The entries are sorted alphabetically by the author’s surname. Each entry details the title, author’s name, publisher, published date, library call number (the shelf number), and library in which it is held. The “source” of the document is its printed form; that is, a book, a journal article, a report or a seminar proceedings, etc. To assist in research, a summary (in some cases an “abstract” or “extract” is quoted) of the document is provided, along with keywords and an ease of reading category.

  • IN AUSTRALIA GJ Leach
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 11(2): 75-100 (1989) TAXONOMIC REVISION OF BERGIA (ELATINACEAE) IN AUSTRALIA G. J. Leach Northern Territory Herbarium, Conservation Commission of the Northern Territory, P.O. Box 496, Palmerston, Northern Territory 0831 Abstract A taxonomic revision of Bergia in Australia is presented. The following ten species are recognised: B. pedicellaris, B. henshallii, B. perennis, B. barklyana, B. auriculata, B. ammannioides, B. trimera, B. occultipetala, B. diacheiron and B. pusilla. B. barklyana, B. auriculata, B. henshalld, B. occultipetala and B. diacheiron are de,scribed as new. B. perennis comprises three subspecies. The existing infrageneric classification is considered inadequate and four informal groups based on Australian taxa are suggested. B. ammannioides and B. trimera have an extra-Australian distribution; all other taxa are endemic. A key to the species and distribution maps are provided. Introduction The Elatinaceae are a small family of aquatic or wetland plants with an almost global distribution but absent from colder regions. Recent workers e.g. Cronquist (1981) have concurred with placement of the Elatinaceae in the Theales and that its closest affinity is to the Clusiaceae. Tucker (1986) provides a recent summary and detailed references to the family. Bergia is one of two genera recognised in the Elatinaceae, the other being Elatine. Both genera are recorded for Australia, Bergia now with 12 taxa recognised, and Elatine generally accepted as represented by a single species. The genus Bergia was described by Linnaeus in 1771 and commemorates Petrus Jonas Bergius (1766-1790), a Swedish pupil of Linnaeus and later professor of natural history and pharmacy at the Collegium Medicum in Stockholm.
