    Medical Entomology 2016/2017 Annual Report Environmental Health Hazards Unit Environmental Health Directorate Public Health Division Department of Health, Western Australia PO Box 8172, Perth Business Centre Perth, 6849 Acknowledgements The extensive and diverse work program undertaken by the Department of Health’s Medical Entomology team outlined in this Annual Report could not have been completed without significant assistance and collaboration from many partners and stakeholders. In particular, the Medical Entomology team wishes to thank the Department of Health for its ongoing support in regards to this important public health program including: o the Environmental Health Directorate; o the Communicable Disease Control Directorate; o Population Health Units/Area Health Services o PathWest; and o Communications Directorate. The Pathwest laboratory continued to have a significant involvement in the program through provision of laboratory services for key components of the surveillance program for detection of arboviruses of public health significance to the State. We also acknowledge and thank the Population Health Units and the Western Australian Country Health Service for their role in reporting and follow-up of human cases of disease, and especially the role of Local Governments in the management of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. These organisations play an active role in the provision of data, case follow up investigations, care and bleeding of chickens for the sentinel chicken program, trapping of mosquitoes, mosquito control treatments and advice to the Western Australian community about disease risk through the media. In particular we thank Environmental Health Officers from the 139 Local Governments across WA, especially those within Contiguous Local Authority Groups (CLAGs), who respond to public complaints, undertake larval and adult mosquito surveys, and undertake mosquito control activities as part of their complex, integrated programs to manage the risks to public health and amenity within their regions.

  • 10 Day Broome to Kununurra 4WD Kimberley This Is a Shorter Version
    10 Day Broome to Kununurra 4WD Kimberley This is a shorter version of our 13 day Kimberley safari, ending in Kununurra and without the Bungle Bungles or Lake Argyle. Day 1 (L,D) You will be collected from your hotel at 7.30am this morning to begin your 10 day 4WD safari through the Kimberley region. We head north towards Derby and stop to look at the boab prison tree, before heading onto the Gibb River Road. Our destination today is Windjana Gorge, where we’ll have a picnic lunch. The afternoon is spent exploring Tunnel Creek, a 750m long limestone tunnel in the Napier Range, carved into the rock over thousands of years. View stalactites and stalacmites and hear the story of Jandamarra, who used the tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800’s. Back to Windjana Gorge for a walk into the gorge before sunset and dinner. Windjana Gorge is part of an ancient Devonian reef system where the Lennard River has cut through the Napier range. Freshwater crocodiles can often be seen lazing around on the river banks. Overnight camp - Windjana Gorge campground Day 2 ( B,L,D) After breakfast, we’ll make our way through the Napier and King Leopold Ranges to Bell Gorge, believed to be the most picturesque in the Kimberley. Here we take a short hike which leads to the waterfall, where we have a swim. The afternoon is spent swimming and exploring Galvans gorge, a small picturesque gorge, surrounded by boab trees. It has some interesting rock art and is a great place for a relaxing swim.

To compile a comprehensive profile of the contemporary social environment of the East Kimberley region utilising both existing information sources and limited fieldwork. 2. Develop and utilise appropriate methodological approaches to social impact assessment within a multi-disciplinary framework. 3. Assess the social impact of major public and private developments of the East Kimberley region's resources (physical, mineral and environmental) on resident Aboriginal communities. Attempt to identify problems/issues which, while possibly dormant at present, are likely to have implications that will affect communities at some stage in the future. 4. Establish a framework to allow the dissemination of research results to Aboriginal communities so as to enable them to develop their own strategies for dealing with social impact issues. 5. To identify in consultation with Governments and regional interests issues and problems which may be susceptible to further research.

  • The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways
    The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways There are 208 major waterways in Western Australia with a combined length of more than 25000 km. Forty-eight have been identified as 'wild rivers' due to their near pristine condition. Waterways and their fringing vegetation have important ecological, economic and cultural values. They provide habitat for birds, frogs, reptiles, native fish and macroinvertebrates and form important wildlife corridors between patches of remnant bush. Estuaries, where river and ocean waters mix, connect the land to the sea and have their own unique array of aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. Waterways, and water, have important spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people. Many waterbodies such as rivers, soaks, springs, rock holes and billabongs have Aboriginal sites associated with them. Waterways became a focal point for explorers and settlers with many of the State’s towns located near them. Waterways supply us with food and drinking water, irrigation for agriculture and water for aquaculture and horticulture. They are valuable assets for tourism and An impacted south-west river section - salinisation and erosion on the upper Frankland River. Photo are prized recreational areas. S. Neville ECOTONES. Many are internationally recognised and protected for their ecological values, such as breeding grounds and migration stopovers for birds. WA has several Ramsar sites including lakes Gore and Warden on the south coast, the Ord River floodplain in the Kimberley and the Peel Harvey Estuarine system, which is the largest Ramsar site in the south west of WA. Some waterways are protected within national parks for their ecosystem values and beauty.

    ABORIGINAL HISTORY 1979 3:2 Bruce Shaw and Jack Sullivan, Turkey Creek, October 1977 Photograph courtesy o f Bruce Shaw 9(1 ‘THEY SAME AS YOU AND ME’: ENCOUNTERS WITH THE GAD I A IN THE EAST KIMBERLEY Bruce Shaw and Jack Sullivan* Jack Sullivan was born on Argyle station in 1901 to a European father of the same name and a ‘fullblood’ Aboriginal woman of Djamindjung background. He grew up on the station and in his twenties ‘came over to the white side’, a choice which was explicitly presented by European station managers to many ‘half caste’ Aborigines when they came of age to enter fully into the stock work economy. The choice made was irreversible. Thereafter Jack never fully participated in the traditional ‘Law’ of the Aboriginal community to which he was related. A few years after the death of Patsy Durack in 1933, Jack ‘pulled out’ of Argyle station and followed the life style of the ‘bag man’, working on the Dunham River, Mabel Downs and Lissadell stations. In 1971, he retired from station life because of ill-health and set up camp with his fullblood half-brother Bulla Bilingiin on the Kununurra Aboriginal camping reserve (Mirima Village). I met him two years later and together we began recording his life history. Jack is one of the few remaining ‘old identities’ of the East Kimberley. Some anecdotes from his younger days are recorded by Mary Durack.1 The remini­ scences given here refer to the period between 1880 and his early childhood. Jack now lives in comfortable retirement at Turkey Creek.

  • Prediction of Potentially Significant Fish Harvest Using Metrics of Accessibility in Northern Western Australia
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 97: 355–361, 2014 Prediction of potentially significant fish harvest using metrics of accessibility in northern Western Australia PAUL G CLOSE 1, REBECCA J DOBBS 1, TOM J RYAN 1, KARINA RYAN 2, PETER C SPELDEWINDE 1 & SANDY TOUSSAINT 1,3 1 Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management, The University of Western Australia, Albany, WA 6330, Australia 2 Western Australian Fisheries and Marine Research Laboratories, Department of Fisheries, Hillarys, WA 6025, Australia 3 Anthropology and Sociology, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia [email protected] Management of freshwater fisheries in northern Australia faces challenges that combine Aboriginal and recreational harvests, intermittent river flows and remote, expansive management jurisdictions. Using relationships between fishing pressure (vis-à-vis ‘accessibility’) and the abundance of fish species targeted by Aboriginal and recreational fishers (derived from the Fitzroy River, Western Australia), the potential fishing pressure in subcatchments across the entire Kimberley region was assessed. In addition to the Fitzroy and Ord River, known to experience substantial fishing pressure, this assessment identified that subcatchments in the Lennard and King Edward river basins were also likely to experience relatively high fishing activity. Management of freshwater fisheries in the Kimberley region prioritises aquatic assets at most risk from the potential impact of all aquatic resource use and employs
