  • Barque Stefano Shipwreck Early NW Talandji Ngarluma Aboriginal
    [IV] SOME EARLY NORTH WEST INDIGENOUS WORDLISTS Josko Petkovic They spoke a language close to Talandji and were sometimes considered only to be western Talandji, but informants were sure that they had separate identities for a long time. Norman B.Tindale1 The indigenous words in the Stefano manuscript give us an important albeit small window into the languages of the North West Cape Aborigines.2 From the available information, we can now be reasonably certain that this wordlist belongs primarily to the Yinikurtira language group.3 We also know that the Yinikurtira community came to be dispersed about one hundred years ago and its members ceased using the Yinikuritra language, which is now formally designated as extinct.4 If in these circumstances we want to find something authentic about the Yinikurtira language we cannot do so by simply asking one of its living speakers. Rather, we need to look at the documents on the Yinikurtira language and culture from about a century ago and from the time when the Yinikurtira people were still living on Yinikurtira country. The documentation we have on the Yinikurtira people comes primarily from Tom Carter, who lived among the Yinikurtira community for about thirteen years.5 Carter left an extensive collection of indigenous bird names and through Daisy Bates he left a considerable vocabulary of Yinikurtira words.6 In his diaries there is an enigmatic paragraph on the languages of the North West Cape region, in which he differentiates the languages north and south of the Gascoyne River, while also invoking a commonality of languages north of the Gascoyne River: The natives of the Gascoyne Lower River were of the Inggarda tribe and spoke a quite different language from By-oong tribe of the Minilya River, only eight miles distant.

  • City of Rockingham – August 2019 Submission
    Submission - Select Committee Inquiry into Local Government City of Rockingham – August 2019 The City of Rockingham welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the State Government’s Select Committee Inquiry into Local Government. The City is aware that the Select Committee will have received submissions from the Western Australian Local Government Association and the Growth Areas Alliance Perth and Peel, and these are both comprehensive. The City wishes to draw the Select Committee’s attention to specific issues that are relevant to Rockingham and its community. Background City of Rockingham is a local government with a rapidly developing residential area, supplemented by industrial and commercial areas, and a naval facility on Garden Island. The City encompasses a total land area of approximately 260 square kilometres, including significant areas of coastline and parkland. As with other outer metropolitan growth local governments, Rockingham has and continues to experience substantial population growth, with the resident population growing 22% between 2011 (109,415) and 2018 (133,389). Rockingham is the 5th largest local government in Western Australia based on population, and the 4th fastest growing by actual annual population growth numbers (2018). Based on current .ID forecast projections, the City of Rockingham’s population is set to grow to 192,805 by 2036. The WAPC South Metropolitan Peel Sub-Regional Planning Framework projects the City’s population to reach 235,000 by 2050. Critical issues – Development and population growth The State Government, through the Western Australian Planning Commission, controls the macro approach to development in the metropolitan area. The drive for higher density development and affordable housing has created a landscape of large homes on small lots, with very little yard space for traditional family recreation.

  • R.E. Bush, Gascoyne Explorer and Pastoralist
    R.E. BUSH, GASCOYNE EXPLORER AND PASTORALIST by C.W.M. Cameron , Robert Edwin (most frequently referred to as R.E.) Bush, first interested me whenI wasresearching Frank Wittenoom. They wereofthesame age, andfriends from the time Bush came to Western Australia untiltheyboth diedwithina few months of each other, in 1939. A section in the Wittenoom book represented mostof what I knewof him until by courtesy of hisgranddaughter, Miss Tessa Bush, I received a copyofsome early journals, written to his family. Thejourneys described were at the start of his Western Australian life, a start fromwhichhe became a prosperous pastoralist and a public citizen and thenretired to England to bea countrygentleman, keeping up the tradition hisancestors hadmaintained in Gloucestershire for 400 years. Robert Bush wasbornin 1855 anddiedin 1939, having made his last of thirteen trips to W.A. in 1938. There are therefore a few who wouldremember hislater visits to W.A., but nonehis arrival in 1877. What no doubt attracted the young man of twenty-two to try his luck in W.A. was that his father, Lt. Col. Robert Bush. was in charge ofthe96thInfantry guarding theyoung Swan River settlement in the 1840s, returning to Bristol in 1851. At the age of ten young Robert Edwin went as a day boy to the new public school, Clifton College, at Bristol. There his chiefclaim to remembrance seems to havebeen that he was Captain of the school cricket and later played for Gloucestershire from 1874-7 in the time of the famous Grace brothers. This had its own results for W.A. Bush had a boarder friend at Clifton, Thomas Souther Lodge.

  • Constraining the Jurassic Extent of Greater India: Tectonic Evolution of the West Australian Margin
    Article Volume 13, Number 5 25 May 2012 Q05W13, doi:10.1029/2011GC003919 ISSN: 1525-2027 Constraining the Jurassic extent of Greater India: Tectonic evolution of the West Australian margin Ana D.

Dietmar Müller EarthByte Group, School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia [1] Alternative reconstructions of the Jurassic northern extent of Greater India differ by up to several thousand kilometers. We present a new model that is constrained by revised seafloor spreading anomalies, fracture zones and crustal ages based on drillsites/dredges from all the abyssal plains along the West Australian margin and the Wharton Basin, where an unexpected sliver of Jurassic seafloor (153 Ma) has been found embedded in Cretaceous (95 My old) seafloor. Based on fracture zone trajectories, this NeoTethyan sliver must have originally formed along a western extension of the spreading center that formed the Argo Abyssal Plain, separating a western extension of West Argoland/West Burma from Greater India as a ribbon terrane. The NeoTethyan sliver, Zenith and Wallaby plateaus moved as part of Greater India until westward ridge jumps isolated them. Following another spreading reorganization, the Jurassic crust resumed migrating with Greater India until it was re-attached to the Australian plate 95 Ma.

  • The Unique Continental Shelf Dynamics Off Western Australia: Physical Controls on Phytoplankton Productivity
    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE AUTHORS International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Annual Science Conference 2003 Theme Session P: Physical-Biological Interactions in Marginal and Shelf Seas CM 2003/P:16 THE UNIQUE CONTINENTAL SHELF DYNAMICS OFF WESTERN AUSTRALIA: PHYSICAL CONTROLS ON PHYTOPLANKTON PRODUCTIVITY C.E. Hanson*, C.B. Pattiaratchi and A.M. Waite Centre for Water Research, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, Western Australia 6009 Australia *Corresponding author Email: [email protected] Phone: +618 9380 1698 Fax: +618 9380 1015 Abstract Continental shelf waters off Western Australia are dominated by the Leeuwin Current, an anomalous eastern boundary current that transports tropical water poleward and generates large- scale downwelling. However, in summer the inner shelf dynamics are influenced by wind- generated countercurrents (the Ningaloo and Capes Currents) that flow towards the equator and have the potential to create localized upwelling. Prior to the current study, there had been no investigations into the links between physical dynamics and phytoplankton productivity within or between any of these currents. In a series of cross-shelf transects encompassing the Leeuwin, Ningaloo and Capes Currents, we found strong associations between the nitracline and phytoplankton biomass that lead to persistent deep chlorophyll maxima throughout the study area. The countercurrents were highly productive (~ 800-1300 mg C m-2 d-1), in notable contrast to the low productivity signature (< 200 mg C m-2 d-1) within the boundary current. Seaward offshoots and coastal upwelling associated with the Ningaloo and Capes Currents provided a mechanism to access high nutrient concentrations normally confined to the base of the Leeuwin.
