Located within the driest region of the Australian continent, the Munga-Thirri–Simpson Desert Conservation Park is in the centre of the Simpson Desert, one of the world's best examples of parallel dunal desert. The Simpson Desert's sand dunes stretch over hundreds of kilometres and lie across the corners of three states - South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory. The Munga-Thirri–Simpson Desert Regional Reserve, just outside the Conservation Park, features a wide variety of desert wildlife preserved in a landscape of varied dune systems, extensive playa lakes, spinifex grasslands and acacia woodlands. The reserve links the Munga-Thirri–Simpson Desert Conservation Park to Witjira National Park. Simpson Desert parks in South Australia and Queensland are closed in summer from 1 December to 15 March. Vehicles are required to have high visibility safety flags (#safety) attached to the front of the vehicle. Opening hours Open daily. Munga-Thirri–Simpson Desert Conservation Park and Regional Reserve are closed from 1 December to 15 March each year. Access may be restricted due to local road conditions.

  • Fishes of Australia's Great Artesian Basin Springs – an Overview
    Fishes of Australia’s Great Artesian Basin Springs – An Overview Adam Kerezsy1 Abstract Patterns of fish distribution within Great Artesian Basin springs fall into two distinct categories: the opportunistic colonisation of springs by widespread riverine species following flooding, and long- term habitation – and speciation – within isolated spring complexes by fishes endemic to certain spring complexes. The endemic fishes of Australia’s Great Artesian Basin springs persist in what some would consider the most unlikely fish habitats imaginable. Within predominantly hot and dry landscapes, they inhabit the only reliable wet areas, which are frequently the same temperature as the surrounding plains and as shallow as the body depth of some of the species. There are seven narrow- range fish species endemic to Great Artesian Basin springs: the Dalhousie catfishNeosiluris ( gloveri), Dalhousie hardyhead (Craterocephalus dalhousiensis), red-finned blue-eye Scaturiginichthys( vermeilipinnis), three localised species of gobies (Chlamydogobius gloveri, C. micropterus and C. squami genus) and the Dalhousie mogurnda (Mogurnda thermophila). These species occur at only three locations: Dalhousie in South Australia; and the Pelican Creek and Elizabeth springs complexes, which are both in Queensland. An eighth species, the desert goby (Chlamydogobius eremius) has a wider range across multiple spring complexes in South Australia. All GAB endemic spring species should be considered endangered due to their small ranges and small populations; however, their formal status varies widely between state, national and international legislation and/or lists. Additionally, all fish endemic to GAB springs are threatened by a broad suite of factors that endanger inland aquatic ecosystems, such as water extraction, pollution, and the possibility that alien or unwanted species may become established.

  • Culture and Geography: South Australia's Mound Springs
    Culture and geography: South Australia’s mound springs as trade and communication routes* © Colin Harris One of Australia’s most richly patterned trade and communication routes is that associated with the mound springs of northern South Australia. Extending in a great arc for almost five hundred kilometres south and west of Lake Eyre, the springs provided permanent, potable water in an otherwise harsh desert environment. The resultant human activity which has focussed on and been dependent on the springs for many thousands of years brings together in a most evocative and graphic way many of the key themes of this Conference. An introduction Artesian springs occur throughout the world, but are particularly prominent in parts of inland Australia. Described from the earliest years of European settlement as ‘mound springs’, they are natural outlets for the pressurised ground water of the 1.76 million km2 Great Artesian Basin, one of the largest of its kind in the world. Many of the hundreds of springs occurring in the Basin are located along its margins where the water-bearing aquifers abut adjoining basement rocks, although other occur as inliers where tectonism allows the water to escape to the surface along fault lines and through fracture zones.2 Since European settlement aquifer drawdown in the wake of bore-sinking has resulted in widespread flow decline and spring extinction. Areas of western and central western Queensland still have many active springs,3 but most in north-western New South Wales are either extinct or reduced to slight flows or seepages.4 Northern South Australia now has the most active and numerous springs.

Rick first challenged the audience as to who the first overseas explorers were to Australia and pointed out that the Chinese had visited in 1421 having already mapped most of the world. Others including the Portuguese and British followed driven by the riches that might be discovered for their countries. In introducing John McDowall Stuart, who arrived in Adelaide from Dysart in 1839, Rick asked what might have influenced Stuart as well as Peter Waite (1859) and Thomas Elder (1854), from the same region of Fife in Scotland, to migrate to the Province of South Australia. Stuart was trained as a surveyor and thus was sought after for his expertise as the new Province was opening up to the north. Stuart made six trips north from Adelaide reaching Rick Moore (centre) with Bill Wallace (President) the centre of Australia on his 4th (1860) and the and Joy Middleton (Vice President) north coast of Australia on his 6th (1862).

The Lake Eyre ZAC was established by the QFMA to provide: a forum for discussion on regional fisheries and fisheries habitat issues; a vital two-way information flow between fisheries mangers and the community. ZAC membership is diverse, representing fisher groups and associations, conservation groups, tourism, fish stocking groups, local government, other government agencies, and other bodies with an interest in fisheries management and fish habitat issues. © Department of Primary Industries, Queensland, and Queensland Fisheries Management Authority 2000 Disclaimer This document has been prepared by the authors on behalf of the Queensland Fisheries Lake Eyre Zonal Advisory Committee.
