Unmack Department of Primary Industries Queensland Fisheries Service 2 lake eyre LAKE EYRE ZONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE In recognition of the decentralised nature of fishing activities in Queensland, ten regionally based Zonal Advisory Committees (ZAC) were set up to advise the Queensland Fisheries Management Authority (QFMA) on local issues relating to fisheries management and fish habitats. 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.

NEUMANN RED- WINGED PARROT Photograph by Mr. Peter Slater LIST OF NORTHERN TERRITORY BIRDS BY G. M. STORR [2]-13314 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 7 Classification ... 7 Distribution ... 8 Status, habitat and breeding season 8 Appendices 9 LIST OF BIRDS 11 BIBLIOGRAPHY 65 SPECIES CONFIRMANDAE .... 69 GAZETTEER .... 71 INDEX TO SPECIES .. 84 Introduction It has long been the desire of ornithologists to have a list of Australian birds with their known range set out with considerably more precision than in current checklists. Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.

  • Hugh Young Inspected and Took Delivery of the Sheep on Victoria River Downs on January 20Th 1894
    Hugh Young inspected and took delivery of the sheep on Victoria River Downs on January 20th 1894. Gunn then returned to Darwin while Young stayed on to take the sheep overland to Bradshaw.75 Five white men took charge of the sheep and by February or March 1894 the last of them had left VRD. Today one of the few visible signs that there ever were sheep on VRD is a set of rock paintings of sheep in the Stokes Range, on the northern boundary of the station (plate 111 ). From VRD the sheep were first taken to Delamere where about a dozen died from poisoning on the headwaters of Gregory Creek. 76 The sheep had been shorn some time before they arrived on the Gregory (probably while they were still on VRD where men to shear the sheep were available) and the wool was carted to the Depot by James Mulligan.77 From there it was taken by boat to the Dome where it was loaded on Bradshaw's 'steamerette', the 'Red Gauntlet', and shipped to Darwin.78 Probably because of the poisonings that had occurred it was decided that the route to Bradshaw via Gregory Creek was impassable for sheep; they were instead taken the long way around via Delamere, the Flora River and across to the headwaters of the Fitzmaurice River.79 By August 1894, Young had formed a sheep station on the 'open tableland' of the Upper Fitzmaurice, but had 'considerable trouble with the blacks,80 who on at least one occasion attacked the camp. No one was injured, but one man received a spear through his 75 J.

  • Australian Aboriginal Geomythology: Eyewitness Accounts of Cosmic Impacts?
    Preprint: Submitted to Archaeoastronomy – The Journal of Astronomy in Culture Australian Aboriginal Geomythology: Eyewitness Accounts of Cosmic Impacts? Duane W. Hamacher1 and Ray P. Norris2 Abstract Descriptions of cosmic impacts and meteorite falls are found throughout Australian Aboriginal oral traditions. In some cases, these texts describe the impact event in detail, suggesting that the events were witnessed, sometimes citing the location. We explore whether cosmic impacts and meteorite falls may have been witnessed by Aboriginal Australians and incorporated into their oral traditions. We discuss the complications and bias in recording and analysing oral texts but suggest that these texts may be used both to locate new impact structures or meteorites and model observed impact events. We find that, while detailed Aboriginal descriptions of cosmic impacts and meteorite falls are abundant in the literature, there is currently no physical evidence connecting any of these accounts to impact events currently known to Western science. Notice to Aboriginal Readers This paper gives the names of, or references to, Aboriginal people that have passed away throughout, and to information that may be considered sacred to some groups. It also contains information published in Nomads of the Australian Desert by Charles P. Mountford (1976). This book was banned from sale in the Northern Territory in 1976 as it contained sacred/secret knowledge of the Pitjantjatjara (see Brown 2004:33-35; Neate 1982). No information about the Pitjantjatjara from Mountford’s book is presented in this paper. 1 Department of Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University, NSW, 2109, Australia [email protected] | Office: (+61) 2 9850 8671 Duane Hamacher is a PhD candidate in the Department of Indigenous Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

  • The Coming of the White People: a Broken Trust
    Chapter One The coming of the white people: a broken trust …the past is never fully gone. It is absorbed into the present and the future. The present plight, in terms of health, employment, education, living conditions and self-esteem, of so many Aborigines must be acknowledged as largely flowing from what happened in the past [...] the new diseases, the alcohol and the new pressures of living were all introduced. Sir William Deane, Governor-General, Inaugural Lingiari Lecture, 1996.(Lingiari and Deane 1996:p20) Introduction This chapter will examine the history of the past two hundred plus years for indicators from which determinants of the poor health Aboriginal peoples experience today will be summarised. It will take the reader on a journey through time. Although the selection of events is a subjective one, it will allow the reader to consider the nature of the impacts of invasion on Aboriginal peoples. There are three core facts that constitute the common experience of Australia’s First Peoples. • They were invaded. • They were dispersed from their land. • They endured indescribable suffering in the wake of introduced disease. A discussion of these three factors opens this chapter in the context of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. It must be remembered that the arrival of Europeans resulted in similar consequences throughout the entire country. In the first place, however, it is imperative for Settler or Migrant Australians to begin to understand the enduring relationship between Land and Aboriginal peoples, the interrelatedness of the people themselves, and in turn, the importance of these relationships to wellness relationships that will be further discussed later in this work.
