The area now known as Onslow was first established by European settlers at the mouth of the Ashburton River in 1883 as a service centre for the pastoral and gold mining industries. Onslow has the unusual distinction of now being located some 20 kilometres east of where it was first established. By 1925, the silting of the Ashburton River was causing problems in the loading and unloading of ships, and the present site adjacent to Beadon Creek was chosen for its access to deep water. Onslow is now a small coastal community, which supports a population of approximately 700 people. The town has a significant fishing industry and the recently developed Onslow Solar Salt Project, which is expected to produce 2.5 million tones of salt per annum. The greater Onslow area also hosts onshore gas processing facilities at Tubridgi, using gas from a variety of offshore fields. Gas from the onshore facilities links to the Dampier to Bunbury Gas Pipeline, which supplies reticulated natural gas to communities in the south of the State. The proximity to the gas and salt projects presents a number of opportunities for the development of strategic industry in the Onslow area, and this plan has made provision for the development of land and associated infrastructure for this purpose. Onslow is a popular tourist destination for winter visitors to the Pilbara, attracted by the mild northern winters and quiet coastal outlook Onslow offers. Some of the tourist attractions are fishing, the nearby Mackerel Islands, the Ashburton River, Old Onslow and Sunrise and Sunset Beaches. This plan supports further development of the tourism industry. The Onslow Structure Plan was first released as a draft for public comment in July 2000. It examines all important regional issues in the Onslow area and sets out a framework to guide State decision- making and detailed planning at the local level, with a planning horizon of 20-25 years.

  • ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES of the GASCOYNE-ASHBURTON REGION Peter Austin 1
    ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES OF THE GASCOYNE-ASHBURTON REGION Peter Austin 1. INTRODUCTION1 This paper is a description of the language situation in the region between the Gascoyne and Ashburton Rivers in the north-west of Western Australia. At the time of first white settlement in the region, there were eleven languages spoken between the two rivers, several of them in a number of dialect forms. Research on languages of the locality has taken place mainly in the past thirty years, after a long period of neglect, but details of the past and present linguistic situation have been emerging as a result of that research. The paper includes an annotated bibliography of the Aboriginal languages traditionally spoken in the area 2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The first explorations by Europeans in the north-west of Western Australia were maritime voyages concerned with coastal exploration. As early as 1818, Captain P.P. King had reported on the coast east of Exmouth Gulf and between 1838 and 1841 Captains Wickham and Stokes had discovered the mouth of the Ashburton River (Webb & Webb 1983:12). On 5th March 1839 Lieutenant George Grey came upon the mouth of the Gascoyne River and during his explorations encountered Aborigines. He reported that (Brown 1972:83): “they spoke a dialect very closely resembling that of the natives of the Swan River”. Further contact between Gascoyne-Ashburton language speakers and Europeans came in the 1850’s with inland explorations. In 1858 Francis Gregory explored the Gascoyne River and the Lyons River north as far as Mount Augustus (Green 1981:97-8, Webb & Webb 1983:11, Brown 1972:86).

Photo credit: Benjamin Horgan BREAK Andrew and Nicola Forrest address P.5 THROUGH As we quickly approach a new decade, the flame of our mission burns brighter than ever – to arrest unfairness and create opportunities to better the world. At Minderoo Foundation, we feel a great sense of urgency and determination to break through as we cannot stay silent while people endure atrocious violations of their rights. We cannot shy away from the environmental catastrophes that are on the brink of unfolding. We cannot stand by while our Indigenous brothers and sisters are yet to achieve parity with non-Indigenous Australians. Tackling some of the world’s most intractable problems, to achieve breakthroughs, is leading us across Australia and around the world. Through 2019, we have expanded our vision and begun to tackle two new additional challenges. The first is facing the massive challenge of plastic pollution, the biggest and most imminent health and environmental threat for our planet. The second is to engage with the frontier technologies of artificial intelligence and automation and the very real challenge we collectively face to ensure these technologies are leveraged for the greater good, and cause no harm to humanity.

  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.

  • A Report on the Viability of Pastoral Leases in the Northern Rangelands Region Based on Biophysical Assessment
    A Report on the Viability of Pastoral Leases in the Northern Rangelands Region Based on Biophysical Assessment Dr PE Novelly - South Perth Mr D Warburton - Northam 7 September 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kimberley and Pilbara comprise Western Australia’s Northern Rangelands. The pastoral industry of both regions is becoming increasingly similar, with most formerly sheep producing properties in the Pilbara moving to cattle, more control and manipulation of herds, and enterprises with a higher proportion of breeders. The projected viability (based on a capacity to carry a minimum number of stock in an ecologically sustainable manner) of pastoral leases in this region was analysed through assessment of biophysical parameters, in particular the inherent landscape productivity and its capacity to be managed in an ecologically sustainable manner, and the impact of current rangeland condition on grazing capacity. Analysis was conducted on individual pastoral leases The effect of leases being run in combination with other leases in one business, or access to substantial non-pastoral income was ignored. Of the 154 pastoral leases assessed, applying a threshold viability level of a potential carrying capacity of 4,000 cattle units, but ignoring reduced carrying capacity caused by degraded rangeland condition: • 16 leases in the Kimberley and 37 leases in the Pilbara do not reach the viability threshold when all land systems within the lease area are considered; • 18 Kimberley leases and 40 Pilbara leases do not meet the viability threshold when land systems whose pastoral potential is so low that investment in management and infrastructure is considered non-viable are excluded. The background and arguments behind this assessment are discussed.
