The concert was the climax to a very busy and enjoyable week run by the Catacomb Church and one of their supporting churches, St Stephens Anglican Church in Normanhurst, Sydney. A team of 10 adults and 9 kids had come 2000kms from Sydney to support the Catacomb Church for 6 days. This is their second visit to Coober Pedy. The week began with an Amazing Race of 6 teams of 35 children heading around the town to answer quiz questions; to undergo Physical/ Mental and Food challenges and even to experience using a fire extinguisher thanks to the CFS. The night ended with a cosy July Bonfire and marshmallows in the Catacomb Church grounds and a short talk on how Amazing Gods Grace is. Two Creative Arts workshops offered a choice of Dance; Art; Drama: Puppets; Making Musical Instruments and Karaoke. These were turned into items for the Big Concert. Seeing the children grow in confidence; mix with each other; make new friends from their school and also with the 9 Sydney kids was a joy to behold. Under the banner: Coober Kids DO Have Talent, forty three children and youth entertained an audience of proud parents and community members In the first Drama workshop for example there were 3 local kids and 3 Sydney kids and in the second one there were 2 High Schoolers and a Year 7 and 2 Year 4 girls all working together. The Concert was put together in the 3 days so we decided to call it ‘The Dress Rehearsal’ in case it didn’t flow smoothly. “We needn’t have worried”, commented organiser and hostess Tracey Piggott (Catacomb Church Coober Pedy). “The children obviously felt safe emotionally to perform without fear of failure”. “It was so thrilling to see the confidence of the children and to see them mix with and encourage each other. I couldn’t have been happier with how the night went”, said Tracey”. Coober Kids Got Talent Concert on Thursday 13th July Harry Maat, Mitchell Hoad, Gus Peggie and Clydine and Caleigh play their recorders saw 34 local and 9 Sydney kids in 23 different items Amy Meyers entertain the crowd for 2 hours. The concert was followed by an enjoyable supper. See page 5 for more photos Photo of the week TRAVELLERS SEEKING FREEBIES ENJOYED FRESHLY CLEANED FACILITIES OVERNIGHT AT OUR CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND!

When the atomic bomb went off at Emu Field (the first test on the mainland), Yami was about ten years of age and through life would re-tell with clarity and sadness of his family being blanketed in the toxic fallout and the sickness and death that followed. As a stockman and skilled horseman, Yami spent his early years working on pastoral properties across South Australia until losing his eyesight as a teenager and later becoming completely blind – the consequence of dust from the nuclear bomb. He was a member of the Aboriginal Advancement League, was drawn to social work assisting families in need with health and education during work with the United Mission and was instrumental, together with the late Reverend Jim Downing, in the establishment of the Institute for Aboriginal Development in Alice Springs and the Pitjantjatjara Land Council. As a professional interpreter and cultural broker he worked in the law courts making sure the voice of Anangu was understood.

    ISSN 1833-1831 Tel: 08 8672 5920 http://cooberpedyregionaltimes.wordpress.com Thursday 19 May 2016 EARLY COOBER PEDY SHOW HOME/DUGOUT - FOR SALE Coober Pedy is a town steeped in the rich history of early opal mining and its related industry tourism. The buying and selling of dugouts is a way of life in the Opal Capital of the World where the majority of family homes are subterranean. A strong real-estate presence has always been evident in Coober Pedy, but opal mining family John and Jerlyn Nathan with their two daughters are self-selling their historic dugout in order to buy an acreage just out of town that will suit their growing family’s needs better. The Nathan family currently live on the edge of town, a few minutes from the school and not far from the shops. Despite they brag one of most historic homes around with a position and a view from the east side of North West Ridge to be envied, John tells us that his growing family needs more space outside. “Prospector’s Dugout has plenty of space inside, with 4 bedrooms plus,” said John. “But the girls have grown in 5 years and we have an opportunity, once this property is sold, to buy an acreage outside of town, and where my daughters can have a trail bike and other outdoor activities where it won’t bother anyone.” “I will regret relinquishing our location and view but I think kids need the freedom of the outdoors when they are growing up,’ he said. John and Jeryln bought the 1920’s dugout at 720 Russell John and Jerlyn Nathan with daughters De’ Arna and Darna on the patio at Prospector’s Dugout.

  • Coober Pedy, South Australia
    The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

  • Grievability and Nuclear Memory | 379
    Grievability and Nuclear Memory | 379 Grievability and Nuclear Memory Jessie Boylan Nuclear Wounds Without grievability, there is no life, or, rather, there is something living that is other than life. Instead, “there is a life that will never have been lived,” sustained by no regard, no testimony, and ungrieved when lost. The apprehension of grievability precedes and makes possible the apprehension of precarious life. —Judith Butler, Frames of War: When Is Life Grievable? (2009) ince 1945, nuclear weapons have been tested on all continents except for South America and Antarctica. Although “it is the nature of bombing to Sbe indiscriminate,”1 Aboriginal, Indigenous, and First Nations people have been the disproportionate victims of these weapons. They also continue to face nuclear waste dumps, uranium mines, and other nuclear projects on their land. This radioactive colonialism ensures that violence persists and is etched into the knowledge of people, place, and country, and that the single “event” of a nuclear detonation is far from over. Official records provide ample evidence to document how state policies, practices, and attitudes marked Aboriginal people as not fully human. For example, the Maralinga nuclear test site in Australia was “chosen on the false assumption that the area was not used by its traditional Aboriginal owners.”2 People living downwind (“downwinders”) of the Nevada Test Site in Utah during the US atomic weapons testing program,3 including First Nations communities, were considered “a low-use segment of the population.”4 These racist assumptions and statements, one tiny example from the archive of the nuclear landscape, constructed the people (and the lands they inhabited) as disposable.

  • But Why: a Podcast for Curious Kids Are There Underground Cities
    But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids Are There Underground Cities? January 5, 2018 [00:00:20] This is [00:00:21] But Why: A Podcast For Curious Kids from Vermont Public Radio. On this show we take your questions on anything from science to art to history to ethics. And we find interesting people to help answer them. [00:00:37] Sometimes we answer them ourselves and sometimes we get to go on field trips to answer your questions. That's my favorite. I'll tell you how to ask your own question at the end of the episode. I am actually outside right now and I am not going to stay outside for very long. I am in Montreal, in Canada, and it is minus 5 degrees out. That's Fahrenheit. If you live here in Canada you'd say it's minus 20 Celsius. I am freezing. My toes are froze. This is the kind of weather that freezes the little hairs inside your nostrils. So I'm going to go inside but that's perfect because that's where we need to go [00:01:22] to answer today's question. My name is Wyatt and I live Los Angeles. And I am five years old. [00:01:32] I want to know if there is underground cities? Well it just so happens I am standing outside a sign that says "Reseau" which in Montreal represents the underground city. Let's go in. [00:01:49] Okay. I am now inside the McGill metro station. But this is more than a subway or a tube stop.

  • 29 Glossary 29
    GLOSSARY 29 29 GLOSSARY OF TERMS TERM DEFINITION Accretion The process of coastal sediments returning to the foreshore following submersion after a storm event; the opposite of erosion. Acid A substance with a pH less than 7.0. Acid base accounting A process used for predicting net acidity that would be produced from oxidation of sulphides in soils or mine rock. Acid mine (rock) drainage The outflow of acidic water, usually from within rocks containing an abundance of sulphide minerals. It is most common from large-scale earth disturbances characteristic of mining and other large construction activities, but can also occur naturally as part of rock weathering processes. Acid sulfate soils (ASS) Naturally occurring soils, sediments or organic substrates (e.g. peat) that contain iron sulphide minerals (predominantly as the mineral pyrite) or their oxidation products. In an undisturbed state below the watertable, these soils are benign and not acidic. If the soils are drained, excavated or exposed to air by lowering of the water table, however, the sulphides can react with oxygen to form sulphuric acid. Activity (radiation) A measure of the level of radioactivity of a radionuclide in units called Becquerels (Bq). Adsorption The surface attraction between atoms or molecules on the surface of particles of colloidal size that tend to attract substances with which they come into contact. Aeolian Refers to sediments carried, formed, eroded or deposited by the wind. Such sediments include desert sands and dunes as well as deposits of windblown silt, called loess, carried long distances from deserts and from stream sediments derived from the melting of glaciers.

  • A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia
    “KEEP THAT LANGUAGE GOING!” A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia A consultancy carried out by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, South Australia by Patrick McConvell, Rob Amery, Mary-Anne Gale, Christine Nicholls, Jonathan Nicholls, Lester Irabinna Rigney and Simone Ulalka Tur May 2002 Declaration The authors of this report wish to acknowledge that South Australia’s Indigenous communities remain the custodians for all of the Indigenous languages spoken across the length and breadth of this state. Despite enormous pressures and institutionalised opposition, Indigenous communities have refused to abandon their culture and languages. As a result, South Australia is not a storehouse for linguistic relics but remains the home of vital, living languages. The wisdom of South Australia’s Indigenous communities has been and continues to be foundational for all language programs and projects. In carrying out this project, the Research Team has been strengthened and encouraged by the commitment, insight and linguistic pride of South Australia’s Indigenous communities. All of the recommendations contained in this report are premised on the fundamental right of Indigenous Australians to speak, protect, strengthen and reclaim their traditional languages and to pass them on to future generations. * Within this report, the voices of Indigenous respondents appear in italics. In some places, these voices stand apart from the main body of the report, in other places, they are embedded within sentences. The decision to incorporate direct quotations or close paraphrases of Indigenous respondent’s view is recognition of the importance of foregrounding the perspectives and aspirations of Indigenous communities across the state.
