I went outside to see Del being enthusiastically greeted by Bill who remembered him over the six years since our last visit. We shook hands and told each other that we both looked older. Del tried to ask me to dinner, but I demurred. I knew that he had flown from Brisbane that morning and driven up to Julatten that afternoon, so I said that I would be around after dinner. We had a long catch up and Del insisted that we were going birding in the morning. Del was at the caravan park by 7 o'clock sharp in his new van and we were off to the Mount Lewis track. Half way up to the clearing we stopped to ogle a Pied Monarch and then on towards the clearing. Just before we got there, there was a movement in the grass at the edge of the track and Del stopped and we waited. All of a sudden a Parrot Finch popped on some dead twiggy growth in among the grass and began feeding. Then another and then a third. They might have been twenty feet away. We got out and onto the track very slowly and quietly, but the normally impossibly shy parrots ignored us.

That was the absolute highlight of the trip. ANOTHER POSTCARD FROM By John Berggy, Rainbow, 9 May 2013. JULATTEN I had seen my Parrot Finch, although a poor view and I could not find another. Christmas, for what it is worth, had come FEMALE CHAUVINISTS and gone and I had no idea when Del Richards would be back. With the wet season looming I decided to cut my losses and head south. I paid up to date and also the next day and I'm glad I'm not a Painted Quail started tidying up in preparation for leaving the next morning.

"You're not to leave yet" she had recovered her breath "Del's on her way From 'Bird Baths of Umbigumbi' Poems by Graham Alcorn, and should be here tomorrow". "Thanks" I said. "I'll fix up Three Sisters Productions, 1987 before I leave". By Vicki Natt I was glad that I would be able to catch up with Del, we go back a long way. Next afternoon I was inside the caravan when I heard a 2 June 2013 Birds South East Pat and Bob discussing the days plans especially when it got a bit wet and we could sit inside OUTING TO “MUHOVICS” SCRUB around the fire and have lunch. We made a short trip to Mill AND MILL SWAMP, SW VIC - 13 Swamp before lunch which was cut short when the rain came, highlights from there were four Whistling Kites circling APRIL 2013 and calling, a Little Grassbird that kept us intrigued for a while as it refused to give us a clear view, and back at the cars we had White-throated Treecreeper and Varied Sittella Eighteen people joined us for a visit to the private scrub showing nicely for all to see. block of Pat & Dennis Muhovics at Wilkin in western Victoria. A big Thank You to Pat & Dennis for allowing us to visit and Passing a pair of Brolgas on the way down was special for for Pat showing us around on the day, a really nice spot and those that saw them. something you can be proud of. Pat gave us a run down on the history of the property before By Bob Green we set off to investigate, Pat showed us an area where a spring trickles down through the vegetation and a small dam had been created, making a permanent watering point for the local wildlife and we were assured this was a great spot to see many of the resident birds. One of the first and perhaps most surprising birds of the day was the appearance of a small but very vocal group of Black- chinned Honeyeaters that refused to sit still long enough for good views by the entire group, fleeting glimpses was about the best you could hope for. We wandered south through the scrub passing another spring watercourse that was dry at the time, it was quite strange to see these springs on a ridge and in amongst the surrounding vegetation like they were. The bird list grew steadily as we went, at one spot stopping to look at Brown-headed Honeyeaters and a couple of Crested Shrike-tits materialised as well. Both Pied and Grey Currawong could be heard calling, and Red-browed Finches were flitting around near the huts. Once reaching the boundary at the top of the hill it opened out to a heath covered area where Southern Emu-wren were heard but as they often do refused to show themselves, walking back along the boundary a beautiful male Golden Whistler sat in an exposed spot for a great view, and Yellow- tailed Black-Cockatoos did a fly over.

After two years of uncertainty, the council-owned cattle selling facility was saved from permanent closure after elected members backed a motion to keep the gates open conditional on the yards maintaining a yearly throughput of 8500. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, elected members resumed discussion on a motion by cattle producer and Councillor Moira Neagle to continue the operations of the facility until 2025, de- velop a management plan for the faculty and consider recurrent funding for capi- tal upgrades. But Penola-based Rick Paltridge - who has been a vocal opponent of continuing the saleyards - told the chamber he had spoken to “numerous people around the region” including stock agents, truck drivers, meat buyers and farmers who he claimed believed the saleyards should be closed down.

  • Historic Earthquake Studies-Safinal
    Historical earthquakes in South Australia Kevin McCue CQU Rockhampton, Queensland Abstract Three earthquakes have etched themselves into the collective memories of South Australians, the damaging 1897 Kingston-Beachport, 1902 (so-called) Warooka and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes but thousands more earthquakes in SA have been recorded since 1954, or were reported before the first seismograph was installed in Adelaide on 26 June 1909. The 1902 and 1954 earthquakes damaged buildings in Adelaide as did an earthquake in 1840 just after the city was born. Chimneys in Burra were knocked down in an earthquake in 1896. On average, between one and two earthquakes per month are reported felt in South Australia today (Alison Wallace – pers. comm.), but only half of these would be reported by the media which is a useful yardstick for historical studies such as this report. Several hundred earthquakes felt in Australia have been documented in three volumes of the Isoseismal Atlas of Australia and by Malpas (1993) and others but sources have not yet been exhausted as is demonstrated with new information on 51 felt earthquakes, many of which have not had a magnitude and location tabulated before. An earthquake in 1911 previously assigned to the Eyre Peninsula has been relocated to Gulf St Vincent, an example of an interesting feature of SA seismicity; the occasional almost simultaneous occurrence of earthquakes in different parts of the state. The combined Modified Mercalli intensity dataset has been used to make an earthquake hazard assessment for Adelaide, the result is in the same ballpark as that of Christchurch New Zealand, of the order of a thousand years return period for a destructive earthquake.
