The improved structure has heightened the agency’s focus on wealth generation, initiating and driving projects that deliver long-term sustainable economic benefits for all South Australians. PIRSA’s business includes: • conducting leading-edge research • fostering sustainable management and development • facilitating global competitiveness and innovative solutions • building partnerships between industry, the community and government. In recent years, a number of key themes have emerged that have resulted in the agency reviewing, assessing and developing new capabilities to better manage potential risk. Of particular focus is our ability to identify, manage and eradicate biosecurity risks. Foot-and-mouth disease and mad cow disease are possibly the best known and potentially the most devastating risks, but there are many others that threaten South Australia’s livestock, crops, fish and marine and fresh water environments. The South Australian Government recognises the risks and recent State Budgets have highlighted the importance of developing risk management strategies in the state and during the past year PIRSA has continued to work with other state and federal agencies to plan and test national response mechanisms. A simulated foot-and-mouth outbreak, Operation Minotaur held in September 2002, tested PIRSA’s capabilities and response mechanisms and those of our interstate and national counterparts. It is critical that we respond quickly to any potential threat and that we have systems and processes in place to manage such events. It was this preparedness that assisted PIRSA in managing the state- based response to the discovery of Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus. PIRSA continues to lead the management of the invasive weed Caulerpa taxifolia in West Lakes and has been instrumental in adding to global research regarding this insidious pest and developing an eradication strategy. The government is committed to the rapid take up of the National Livestock Identification Scheme. Initially, South Australia’s cattle and dairy producers and their respective industry processors will be required to implement the whole-of-life electronic identification system. The scheme will provide security for overseas and domestic consumers seeking safety and integrity of meat products. Biosecurity preparedness has led to efforts to improve the traceability of food products from paddock to plate. Product integrity from paddock to plate has also led to an increased focus on food safety. Specialist groups across PIRSA, together with industry partners and other government agencies, are working to make food safer, particularly at the production level. South Australia’s food sector has enormous potential. The State Food plan target of achieving $15 billion in exports by 2010 is ahead of schedule with the expectation that the goal will be achieved. Regional food groups are also taking up the challenge to enhance the state’s food, wine and tourism sectors, looking for innovative ways to add value to food. Sustainability of land-based, marine and fresh water primary industries is critical. In the agency’s research, project management and policy development, the focus on sustainability is significant, PIRSA ANNUAL REPORT 2002–03 4 reflected by and supported with a range of policy and legislation that has been updated in the past year. PIRSA also has a high level of involvement in the national debates and discussions regarding water, water quality and River Murray flows, together with dryland salinity, revegetation and rehabilitation. A consistent supply of quality water is a critical factor in the future

The concentrated ore was converted to sulphuric acid, and subsequently used in the manufacture of superphosphate fertiliser. The pyrite and pyrrhotite minerals that remain on site naturally oxidise in air to form acid and the resultant acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) dissolves other minerals causing heavy metal contamination of the local watercourse. The land is freehold title held by the Minister for Mineral Resources Development on behalf of the Crown and has been managed by the Department of Primary Industries and Resources - Minerals and Energy Resources Division since 1998. The key work undertaken on site is the interception and treatment of acid seepage with lime to prevent acid and metals from entering and polluting the local watercourse.

  • The COROMANDEL and Others
    THE STORY OF THE 'COROMANDEL' IN PARTICULAR, 1834 3 MASTED SAILING SHIP. The COROMANDEL and others. In particular I have searched information regarding the 'Coromandel' ship, which, in 1836 was commissioned by the South Australian Company to transport emigrants to the new colony of South Australia and its soon to be established capital city of Adelaide. I have listed in these pages all details found, including a number of passengers. I have ascertained most who sailed in her, (but I certainly may have missed and/or misspelled some names). The ship sailed from St. Katherine's dock, London in 1836 arriving and disembarking the majority of her passengers at Holdfast Bay, Glenelg on January 17th 1837. Her journey was longer than planned as Captain William Chesser, her Master called in at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa and rested his many sick passengers back to good health with fresh fruit, vegetables and good water. Upon his return to Britain later in the year, he was called to task for the extended journey & brought before the Colonial office & the South Australian Company for interrogation. I have not, with any positive proof satisfied myself as to our "Coromandel's " final resting place, because the name was in popular use as a ship's name, and others so named have confused many people of her true journeys & destiny. She was definitely 662 tons, she was definitely built in 1834 in Quebec by George Black & Sons and she was a barque with sails set as 'ship' meaning all were squaremasted. There was a Coromandel ship that foundered in New Zealand, but I have not seen the description nor sketches of that ship.

  • Place Name SUMMARY (PNS) 6/23 BRUKANGGA and Tindale's Uses Of
    The Southern Kaurna Place Names Project The writing of this essay was funded as part of The Kaurna Project 2018-9 (coordinator Rob Amery) by the Commonwealth of Australia Ministry for the Arts through its Indigenous Languages and Arts (Languages) program. Parts of it have been built on the shoulders of essential work done by Philip Clarke on ‘The significance of whales to Aboriginal people of southern SA’ (2001). He also kindly found and copied for me Tindale’s missing document on ‘Strike-a-lights’.

The spellings and interpretations contained in it (linguistic, historical and geographical) are my own, and do not necessarily represent the views of KWP/KWK or its members or any other group. I have studied history at tertiary level. Though not a linguist, for 30 years I have learned much about the Kaurna, Ramindjeri-Ngarrindjeri and Narungga languages while working with KWP, Rob Amery, and other local culture-reclamation groups; and from primary documents I have learned much about the Aboriginal history of the Adelaide-Fleurieu region. My explorations of 'language on the land' through the Southern Kaurna Place Names Project are part of an ongoing effort to correct the record about Aboriginal place-names in this region (which has abounded in confusions and errors), and to add reliable new material into the public domain.
