  • Ent of Australian Caves 204 by J.N
    "�m time immemorial caves have attracted man. The unusual .form­ ations, the menacing narrowness and the dim insufficient light become, through the force of imagination, part of a mysterious, almost magical and sometimes sinister whole. There is a natural law in man which dictates that he should strive after knowledge, advance with inquiring mind into new territory, whether it be spiritual or material; and cave research is one element of man's desire to know and understand his environment. Under the Earth's crust there exists an enormously great world where secrets await their unveiling, and speleology is a branch of science which opens up this world to provide revelations of chronological, geological and sociological importance. These underground wonders, however, belong to all men, and after the initial discovery and surveying of caves have been completed, the public at large is entitled to share in the beauties below, even if only to a limited extent." -W.L. Brennan NSW Department of Tourism This special issue of AUSTRALIAN NATURAL HI STORY is devoted to various aspects of caves and caving-the field of speleology -in Australia.

  • Descendants of the Leonard Family
    Descendants of the Leonard Family by Monica Jones and Rhonda Brownlow [email protected] Generation No. 1 UNKNOWN MALE 1 LEONARD He married UNKNOWN. Children are: 2. i. THOMAS 2 LEONARD, b. 1792, Woodford Ballynakill Galway Ireland; d. By 1850 Ballynakill Galway Ireland; 3. ii. MICHAEL LEONARD, b. 1807, Woodford Ballynakill Galway Ireland. Leonard Family Migrate The family of Thomas Leonard and Julia Kelly were born in Ballynakill near Woodford, County Galway. It is likely that Thomas and Julia both died before 1863. It was a poor, overcrowded district, the principal landlord being Lords Clanricarde, who over generations began enclosing their estates for grazing, resulting in many evictions of tenants and emigration during the 1830s and later. It was a disaffected district with much rebellious activity conducted by “Whiteboys” against landlords. Other Crookwell district families which came from Woodford, County Galway area were the Tully’s, Fahys and Brodericks.The Tully and Broderick families who were here at an early period and no doubts their reports encouraged the Leonard family to migrate, in fact they were to sponsor many family members to emigrate from Ireland. In fact Patrick Leonard sponsored his sister the widow Catherine Fahy and her five children and helped them make a start at Grabben Gullen. James, Margaret and Patrick's Leonard's arrived in Sydney on the ship "Loyds".Patrick was a widower whose wife had died in Ireland. He was accompanied by two children, daughter Ann aged 12 years and son Patrick aged 10 years. He married Margaret McCabe in 1860 and had a large family.

  • Sydney Catchment Authority Riparian Management Assistance Program Funding Guidelines
    Sydney Catchment Authority Riparian Management Assistance Program Funding Guidelines 1. ABOUT THE PROGRAM The riparian management assistance program operates in targeted catchments to assist landowners to protect, improve and manage waterway frontages. The program offers funding to help landowners establish fencing, off-stream water supplies, shade for stock and native plants and to undertake minor erosion control. Completing such work helps landowners manage stock grazing without damage to creek banks and water quality. Looking after creeks, gullies or rivers is not free of cost or effort. However, evidence now shows that in the medium to long term, the benefits of riparian management clearly outweigh the costs incurred. Controlling stock movement around waterways and riparian lands is the quickest and easiest way of improving water quality and other conditions of waterway health. There are multiple benefits of controlling stock access to waterways and riparian land. Fencing can assist stock manageability and control, often making it a one-person job for mustering and can reduce stock losses during flooding. Water quality of runoff is improved, reducing faecal contamination, and loss of nutrients. If you are considering changing the way you manage stock, or looking at ways of improving the condition of waterways on your property, this program offers practical assistance in putting together a project; and funding assistance for a number of activities. 2. WHO CAN APPLY? Landowners are eligible to apply for funding along waterways (gullies, streams or creeks) in the following catchments (see map on page 5): . Upper Werriberri Creek . Brogers Creek, Barrengarry Creek, Kangaroo River, Yarrunga . Paddys River, Uringalla Creek, Long Swamp Creek .
