Venus Bay Conservation Park 2006 Management Plan Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Venus Bay Conservation Park Including Venus Bay Conservation Reserve 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 3 July 2006 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 95 x Cover Photography: Venus Bay taken from the Entrance Beach Peninsula, with Germain Island in the distance (Courtesy of Peter Canty, DEH) This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Venus Bay Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Venus Bay Conservation Park (1,460 hectares) and Conservation Reserve (3,362 hectares) are located on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula, between Streaky Bay and Elliston. Venus Bay Conservation Park includes seven islands located within the bay, which are considered particularly important breeding grounds for many native birds (eg oyster catchers, terns, rock parrots, silver and pacific gulls, and quails). Venus Bay Conservation Park and Conservation Reserve consist of coastal heath and mallee areas, which surround the sheltered waters of the bay. Five of the seven islands are low-lying, flat, limestone-topped islands covered in low coastal heath vegetation. The largest island in the bay has formed from tidal sand deposits and supports samphires and mangroves. The last island is not vegetated and is submerged during some high tides. The reserves make significant contributions to the conservation of biodiversity on Eyre Peninsula, through the protection of numerous threatened plant and animal species. Since the 1980s Venus Bay Conservation Park has been used to trial the reintroduction of locally extinct fauna that were historically present in the area. Successful reintroductions have been possible due to the implementation of regional pest animal control and the establishment of predator-free areas within the park. Reintroduced species include the Brush-tailed Bettong, Greater Stick-nest Rat and Greater Bilby. To increase the long-term viability of the Venus Bay Ecological Restoration Program, reintroductions of threatened species will be expanded into Venus Bay Conservation Reserve. Venus Bay Conservation Park and Conservation Reserve are culturally significant for Aboriginal people. While no sites are listed on the Register of Aboriginal Sites and Objects, there is evidence of occupation by Aboriginal people in Venus Bay Conservation Park. Management at Venus Bay Conservation Park (and Venus Bay Conservation Reserve) focuses on the conservation of natural resources and the continued implementation of the Venus Bay Ecological Restoration Program. Public access, recreational use and other developments will be in keeping with the need to protect and enhance the viability of natural systems within the reserves. The plan of management for Venus Bay Conservation Park is now formally adopted under the provisions of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.

AND FEATURES Venus Bay Conservation Park (1,460 hectares) is located on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula, between the towns of Streaky Bay and Elliston. It consists of Weyland Peninsula plus Black’s Point connected by a narrow shellgrit tombolo and seven islands in Venus Bay. The plan also includes Venus Bay Conservation Reserve (3,362 hectares), additional land on the western end of Weyland Peninsula (approximately 1,237 hectares), and all relevant coastal reserves down to low water mark (136 hectares) around these properties and the Conservation Park. It is intended that these additional parcels of land be consolidated into Venus Bay Conservation Park in the near future. Total land covered by the plan amounts to approximately 6,195 hectares (see Section 11 Managing Reserve Tenure). For the

  • Place Names of South Australia: W
    W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house. (Register, 7 October 1861, page 3c) Wabricoola - A property North -East of Black Rock; see pastoral lease no. 1634. Waddikee - A town, 32 km South-West of Kimba, proclaimed on 14 July 1927, took its name from the adjacent well and rock called wadiki where J.C. Darke was killed by Aborigines on 24 October 1844. Waddikee School opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. Aboriginal for ‘wattle’. ( See Darke Peak, Pugatharri & Koongawa, Hundred of) Waddington Bluff - On section 98, Hundred of Waroonee, probably recalls James Waddington, described as an ‘overseer of Waukaringa’. Wadella - A school near Tumby Bay in the Hundred of Hutchison opened on 1 July 1914 by Jessie Ormiston; it closed in 1926. Wadjalawi - A tea tree swamp in the Hundred of Coonarie, west of Point Davenport; an Aboriginal word meaning ‘bull ant water’. Wadmore - G.W. Goyder named Wadmore Hill, near Lyndhurst, after George Wadmore, a survey employee who was born in Plymouth, England, arrived in the John Woodall in 1849 and died at Woodside on 7 August 1918. W.R. Wadmore, Mayor of Campbelltown, was honoured in 1972 when his name was given to Wadmore Park in Maryvale Road, Campbelltown.

  • A Person Arriving in This Colony, and Wishing to Join His Friends at The
    R A person arriving in this colony, and wishing to join his friends at the Meadows, consults his railway guide, and finds that he has to take train for Quorn, etc; but after travelling some 200 miles north discovers that he has to retrace his journey to the city, and start again to the older village, something like 20 miles south of Adelaide. Many similar examples may be given… (Advertiser, 4 April 1888) Rabbit Island - (See Owen Island, Pennington Bay & Koromaranggul) Rabelais, Cape - In the South-East, appears first on Freycinet’s charts and, probably, was named after Francois Rabelais (circa 1494-1553), the celebrated French satirist and humorist who, in younger days, was a Benedictine monk but departed from his clerical labours, after a monastical quarrel, to become a physician. Rabila - A railway station 5 km South-East of Murray Bridge. Aboriginal for ‘good hunting ground’. Radium - Radium Creek - (See Echo Camp) Radium Hill is 40 km South-West of Cockburn, where uranium was discovered in 1906; the mine closed in 1961, The Radium Hill School opened in 1953 and closed in 1962. Radstock, Cape - On Eyre Peninsula, named by Matthew Flinders on 9 February 1802 after Lord Radstock (1753-1825), an English Admiral. Baudin called it Pointe de la Chausse (Reef Point), while Freycinet’s charts show C. Halle. Raeburn - A school near Curramulka opened in 1929 by Lizzie Forsyth; it closed in 1940. Raglan - A school, opened in 1884 as ‘Inkerman North’, became ‘Raglan’ in 1891, ‘Bowmans’ in 1905 and was closed in 1972. Of interest is the fact that

  • Kabininge - This Name Is Shown Thus on Early Maps and Means ‘Bad Water Place’ and on Latter-Day Maps It Appears As Kabminye
    K We can scarcely imagine that [the Governor] is solely or even mainly responsible for such preposterous and disfiguring names on our maps as Jamestown, Georgetown, Laura, Hundred of Dublin and a dozen others equally objectionable. (Register, 10 October 1872, page 4f) Kabininge - This name is shown thus on early maps and means ‘bad water place’ and on latter-day maps it appears as Kabminye. Situated three kilometres south of Tanunda, it was said to mean ‘morning star’. Prior to 1918 it was known as ‘Kronsdorf’, this name, with a slight modification, was restored to the map as ‘Krondorf’ in 1975. Kadina - The name is derived from kadnina - ‘place for termites’ from the presence of termite mounds on the plain south of the present town. These ants were a favourite food for the Aborigines each spring when, for about two months, the women spent many hours digging into the mounds and separating termites from mound earth by rocking them in wooden cradles and bark troughs. Other sources suggest it is a corruption of an Aboriginal word kadijina, meaning ‘lizard place’ (kadi - ‘lizard’, jina - ‘place’); this name was The stone building from the Cornwall Mine near Kadina, re-erected at applied, also, to an Aboriginal camp on the south the Elder Shaft at the Wallaroo Mines side of the town. The town of Kadina was offered for sale on 28 March 1861, the Hundred of Kadina, County of Daly, on 12 June 1862 and Kadina East proclaimed on 13 June 1907. Mr F. Ward, of Howard St, North Kensington, commented on ‘the first regular coaches between Kadina and the GPO’ and said that ‘I had been in the employ of the late Wm.

  • At the Constant Recurrence of Inappropriate Names
    M It has frequently been a matter of deep regret - we had almost said disgust - at the constant recurrence of inappropriate names given to new villages or towns in the various colonies of Australia… We submit that in naming a new locality reference should be made to some great feature or peculiarity in the same, and in most cases, not all certainly, the Native Names especially of South Australia, will be found euphonious, at any rate more expressive than those adopted by the settlers. (Border Watch, 10 January 1862) Maaoope - The Boandik people had a word mooeyup meaning ‘edible root’, while the Penola historian, Peter Rymill, says that: One local opinion has it that ‘Maa-ooup’, as it was originally pronounced, was derived from the call of the bullfrog. However, this amphibian (Limnodynastes dumerilii) utters a single, short note, sounding like the ‘bonk’ of a flat banjo string, to which its mate will sometimes reply ‘bonk-bonk’. Another opinion, originating from the Dickson family, is that ‘Maaoupe’ [sic] is evocative of the cry of the bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus); a deep, resonant, two-syllable booming, likened to the bellowing of a bull (as its generic name, Bo[s] taurus, suggests). Incidentally, it is likely that the haunting call of this bird gave rise to the widespread myth of the fabulous bunyip. Dr James Dickson is acknowledged as being the pioneer of Maaoupe [sic] Station, 9 miles (15km) north- west of Penola in 1846. Remembered as a north-countryman, he was probably born into a medical family near Romaldkirk, Yorkshire, in 1809.

  • Places That the Eye of Heaven Visits Are, to a Wise Man, Ports and Happy Havens
    F All places that the eye of heaven visits Are, to a wise man, ports and happy havens. (William Shakespeare, Richard II) Fairbanks Estate - A 1921 subdivision of section 394, Hundred of Yatala, by the executors of the estate of George Washington Fairbank who said it was ‘unequalled for gardening purposes, being in the same line of country as the famous Findon land’; now included in Beverley. Fairfield - A 1917 subdivision of part section 234, Hundred of Noarlunga; Messrs. Charles J. Hargrave laid it out into 17 allotments between Brighton Road and Fairfield Avenue; now included in Somerton Park. It is a common place name in England and, possibly, derives from the Œ forfeld - ‘fore or front field’. The Fairfield School, near Spalding, opened in 1889 by Fanny Cox, was closed in 1904. It took its name from a local homestead. In 1885, the Fairfield Apiary near Mount Barker was mentioned as being the property of Messrs Coleman and May, ‘who have brought much knowledge and intelligence and no small amount of capital to bear upon the prosecution of the work…’ Fairford - It was situated on the River Sturt, about 12 km from Adelaide, at the foot of the hill on which stands the Flagstaff Inn: The only portion of the vineyard which is now in bearing is intersected by the river and was planted in 1861… There are three acres of vines, principally Verdelho, but with about one-sixth Gouais, and Mr Trimmer mixes the two grapes in this proportion for a white wine… On the brow of the hill, rising from the eastern bank of the Sturt, five acres were planted in 1859… To the southward of this piece another five acres were planted in 1861 with Black Portugal and Grenache… He adopted a wine making system upon the authority of Mr J.S.
