The Living Murray program is coordinated by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA). Engagement Ngarrindjeri Indigenous Partnerships In April 2012, a Community Advisory Panel replaced the The Ngarrindjeri work in partnership with The Living LLCMM Icon Site Community Reference Committee Murray and the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth as the community-based reference group for the icon site.

In 2009, the South Australian Government and the Ngarrindjeri people entered into the Kungun Ngarrindjeri Community Yunnan Agreement whereby the relevant Ministers, on support and behalf of the Crown, formed a new relationship between involvement South Australia and Ngarrindjeri.

Environmental Water and Adaptive Management Environmental water is obtained by The Living Murray Langhorne through a ‘bidding’ process, and is sourced from both Creek River Murrray the MDBA and the Commonwealth Environmental Finniss River Wellington Water Holder. This is a competitive process, which Bremer Angas River requires strong scientific justification.

  • Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

  • A Large Mid-Holocene Estuary Was Not Present in the Lower River Murray

Helfensdorfer et al.; Scientifc Reports https://​doi.​org/​10.​1038/​s41598-​020-​61800-x​(2020). Recent research has suggested that during the mid-Holocene (c. 8500 to 5000 cal yr BP) a large estuary occupied the lower River Murray and its terminal lakes (Lakes Alexandrina and Albert: herein the Lower Lakes) in South Australia. Tis research has questioned both reconstructions of past River Murray discharge and contemporary environmental water provisions aimed at maintaining the freshwater state of the Lower Lakes. We show that (1) a large mid-Holocene estuary extending into the lower River Murray was not physically possible, and (2) that the River Murray and Lower Lakes were predominantly fresh during the mid-Holocene. Sea level was well below present at the time of purported initiation of estuarine sedimentation and, therefore, could not have allowed formation of an estuary. Holocene human occupation of the lower River Murray valley, that was reliant on freshwater resources, negates the existence of a large estuary in the valley. A variety of freshwater indicators in sediments from in, and around, the Lower Lakes negate the notion of signifcant marine incursion.

  • Chapter 3: Water and Biodiversity in South Australia
    3 Water and biodiversity in South Australia 3.1 As the driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world,1 South Australia received considerable attention at the height of the drought experienced by southeastern Australia from 1997 to 2009, the worst drought in the 110-year instrumental record.2 The impact on the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) region, in particular, was a major focal point. Located at the downstream end of the Murray–Darling River system, there was concern that the drought, combined with the over-allocation of water resources upstream, had severely compromised the region’s internationally significant biodiversity. 3.2 Some of the environmental impacts of the drought have abated since 2009. However, many of the challenges for the region remain, and these were part of the focus of the Committee’s site inspections in the CLLMM region on 16 May 2012. 3.3 Apart from this focus, the Committee was interested to see the development of innovative practices for the sustainable use of water resources and the protection of biodiversity assets. On 17 May 2012, the Committee inspected the constructed Greenfields Wetlands, which contribute to addressing concerns about the availability of water from the River Murray and the potential ecological impacts of stormwater run-off on marine ecosystems. 1 Government of South Australia, ‘Importance of water’, <http://www.sa.gov.au/subject/Water,+energy+and+environment/Water/Water+resources +in+SA/Importance+of+water> viewed 9 October 2012. 2 B Timbal, ‘The continuing decline in South-East Australian rainfall: update to May 2009’ in PA Sandery, T Leeuwenburg, G Wang and AJ Hollis (eds), CAWCR Research Letters, issue 2, July 2009, Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, Melbourne, 2009, pp.

  • The Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth: Managing for a Healthy Future
    The Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth: Managing for a Healthy Future August 2009 Have your say This document outlines the proposed method for future management of the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth. It builds on the framework outlined in the Directions for a healthy future document released for public consultation in early May 2009. Feedback from that consultation was generally in support of the proposed framework. This document describes in more detail the climatic scenarios which the site faces and the actions needed to secure its future. The consultation process for this document invites feedback on: the goal in managing the site; the proposed management actions; the impact of those management actions on the environmental, social, economic and cultural values of the site; and how the site should be managed and where communities could be involved. This feedback will directly inform the Long-Term Plan for the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth and associated documentation - including a Business Case for the proposed actions to secure its long- term future. This suite of documents will be tabled with the Australian Government in the fourth quarter of 2009 to access the $200 million funding set aside as part of the Murray Futures program.
