The scale influences: • the homogeneity of the map unit • the accuracy of the lines • the accuracy of the descriptions and attributions. Descriptions of map units apply to the whole survey and to any occurrences in adjacent surveys. Individual map units may differ considerably from this description in terms of the proportion of different soils and landforms that occur within them. Thus, the map provides a guide to what soils may occur at a particular point or in a selected area, not a definitive statement. The Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Agriculture and Food and the State of Western Australia accept no liability whatsoever by reason of negligence or otherwise arising from the use or release of this information or any part of it. ‘Koikyennuruff’, the Aboriginal name for the Stirling Range, has been interpreted as referring to the way the mist moves about on the range (Department of Conservation & Land Management 1999).

Copyright © Western Australian Agriculture Authority, 2009 3 TAMBELLUP–BORDEN LAND RESOURCES SURVEY Summary This report presents results from soil-landscape mapping at a scale of 1:100,000 in the Tambellup–Borden area of Western Australia. It is accompanied by a soil-landscape map covering almost 511,000 hectares. Most of the survey occurs within the upper Frankland-Gordon, Kent, North Stirlings Basin and upper reaches of the Pallinup and Kalgan River catchments. The survey falls within the Katanning and Albany Department of Agriculture and Food advisory districts. Seventeen soil-landscape systems have been identified and are represented on the map on the accompanying CD-ROM. These systems have been further divided into subsystems. The main soils, landforms, geology, land use and native vegetation in each system are described. Within each subsystem, the main WA Soil groups are indicated. A summary is provided of the main soils and the major land degradation hazards identified during the survey. This is designed to give a broad overview of the limitations and opportunities of the soils. Information on the land use history, geology and physiology, climate, native vegetation and previous soil surveys are also included in the report. This land resource information has been collected for the survey to help improve the decisions made by planners, researchers and land managers. The information can be used at the regional scale, catchment scale and farm level. By improving knowledge of our land resources, more sustainable land uses can be developed within the region. 4 TAMBELLUP–BORDEN LAND RESOURCES SURVEY Contents Summary ................................................................................................................................................................. 4 Contents................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................................. 6 How to use this report.............................................................................................................................................. 7 History of land use .................................................................................................................................................. 8 Climate .................................................................................................................................................................. 12 Geology and physiography.................................................................................................................................... 15 Native vegetation................................................................................................................................................... 18 Previous surveys.................................................................................................................................................... 21 Survey methods ..................................................................................................................................................... 23 Mapping units........................................................................................................................................................ 25 Soils....................................................................................................................................................................... 68 Interpretation of land resource survey results...................................................................................................... 108 Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................................................... 111 Glossary............................................................................................................................................................... 112 References ........................................................................................................................................................... 115 Appendix: Guide to viewing Soil-landscape maps on website ........................................................................... 119 Land Resources Series Reports ........................................................................................................................... 124 Tables Table 1.

    Parent Handbook John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School Parent Handbook 1 Parent Handbook INTRODUCTION The intention of this Handbook is to provide parents with an overview of the School’s Policies and Procedures. A school is a complex organisation. Efficient daily management and pastoral care are dependent on clearly spelled-out guidelines, open communication and availability of information on which to base decisions. No-one can be expected to accurately recall or interpret all aspects of policies and procedures. This Handbook provides you with a summary of the key Policies and Procedures of John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School. You are asked to read it carefully and to use it as a first reference when you have any queries concerning expectations and procedures the School has established. I trust this Handbook will be of use to you. Suggestions regarding changes or additions are welcomed.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being.

  • John Mcnamara Ballajura Ward (City of Swan) HISTORY of THREE MANX MEN in the SWAN VALLY
    The Secretary The Office of the Electoral Distribution Commission Level 11 111 St. Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 For The Attention of The Electoral Distribution Commissioners Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment and to make recommendations for some changes to your WA Proposed Electoral Boundries, June 2007 I refer to the proposed West Swan District of the East Metropolitan Region I make my objection and present you with a clear alternative name to better reflect the composition of the District. The existing name for the Electoral District is Ballajura. This name was soundly accepted by the electors of Noranda, Morley and Malaga as a suitable name. But Ironically the Name Ballajura represents and even more clearly identifies with the new Proposed District. To support my request, I attach historical DATA from 1899, which brings together the immigrant families of Kerruish, Eaton, Creer, Sedgman and their settlement in the Swan Valley at Bennett Brook and the “Ballajora” Farm Land. The Ballajura Primary School has clearly identified with those immigrant Families who include Matilda Bennett wife of Sir John Septimus Roe after whom Bennett Brook is named. Please study the attached DATA and reconsider the name change, so as to reflect the historical attachment and cross relationship between the Rural and Urban (Majority of Electors) parts of the proposed District. You must agree that the name Ballajura is far more reflective of the vast majority of the land mass and populous of the proposed District. I reluctantly put the following alternatives, hoping that you will accept the above recommendation.

  • History and Management of Culham Inlet, a Coastal Salt Lake in South-Western Australia
    JournalJournal of ofthe the Royal Royal Society Society of Westernof Western Australia, Australia, 80(4), 80:239-247, December 1997 1997 History and management of Culham Inlet, a coastal salt lake in south-western Australia E P Hodgkin 86 Adelma Road, Dalkeith, WA 6009 email: [email protected] Manuscript received August 1996; accepted May 1997. Abstract When Culham Inlet was first flooded by the Holocene rise in sea level it was an estuary, but in historic times it has been a salt lake closed by a high sea bar. It is in an area of low rainfall and episodic river flow and sometimes all water is lost by evaporation to below sea level. With above average rainfall in 1989 and 1992, high water levels in the Inlet flooded farm paddocks and threatened to break the bar and a road along it from Hopetoun to the Fitzgerald River National Park. In 1993 the bar was breached to release flood water, and the Inlet was briefly an estuary. Engineering measures designed to restore road access and prevent flooding are examined for their potential to restore the Inlet to its pre-1993 condition of a productive ecosystem. Recent clearing in the catchments of Culham Inlet and nearby estuaries in the south coast low rainfall area has increased river flow to them and appears to have caused their bars to break more frequently. Introduction (Fig 2) that is only known to have broken naturally once, In historic times Culham Inlet has been a coastal in 1849. The bar was broken artificially in 1920, but for lagoon on a semi-arid part of the south coast of Western over 70 years since then the Inlet has absorbed river flow Australia (Fig 1), separated from the sea by a high bar without the bar breaking, until 1993.

  • Implementation Strategies for a Heritage Trail That Would Link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia
    PROJECT # 31009 Implementation strategies for a heritage trail that would link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia The “Heritage of Endeavour” project. By Michael Hughes and Jim Macbeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we acknowledge the contribution of Lindley Chandler to this final report. Lindley undertook this project as part of her Masters degree and carried out all of the basic ground work and community consultation. Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lindley was unable to write the final report. Nonetheless, the report is based on her work in the Central Great Southern. Russell Pritchard, Regional Officer with the Great Southern Development Commission, provided invaluable advice and support in further developing and crystallising the ideas within this report. Many other Central Great Southern community members contributed information as detailed in the reference list at the end of the report. The authors also acknowledge the support of the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, an Australian Government initiative, in funding this project.
