AIATSIS Place Thesaurus AIATSIS Place Thesaurus March 2020 About AIATSIS – www.aiatsis.gov.au The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) is the world’s leading research, collecting and publishing organisation in Australian Indigenous studies. We are a network of council and committees, members, staff and other stakeholders working in partnership with Indigenous Australians to carry out activities that acknowledge, affirm and raise awareness of Australian Indigenous cultures and histories, in all their richness and diversity. AIATSIS develops, maintains and preserves well documented archives and collections and by maximising access to these, particularly by Indigenous peoples, in keeping with appropriate cultural and ethical practices.

AIATSIS Place Thesaurus Introduction The AIATSIS thesauri have been made available to assist libraries, keeping places and Indigenous knowledge centres in indexing / cataloguing their collections using the most appropriate terms. This is also in accord with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library and Information Research Network (ATSILIRN) Protocols – http://atsilirn.aiatsis.gov.au/protocols.php Protocol 4.1 states: “Develop, implement and use a national thesaurus for describing documentation relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and issues” We trust that the AIATSIS Thesauri will serve to assist in this task. About the thesaurus The AIATSIS Place Thesaurus contains headings for place names, using the Indigenous place name first wherever possible. These headings are used to describe all items held in Mura®, the AIATSIS Collections Catalogue – http://mura.aiatsis.gov.au This PDF version of the AIATSIS Place Thesaurus will be updated every 6 months. We welcome your comments on the AIATSIS thesauri. Send these comments to [email protected] including the heading from the thesaurus that you wish to provide comments on. Using the thesaurus Display formats The thesaurus is in alphabetical order, with each entry displaying all related terms. This will display the term followed by its relationships and will be followed by the next alphabetical entry with its relationships. The following abbreviations have been used in the thesaurus: "Broader Terms" represent more general concepts than "Narrower Terms", which are more specific terms. These are labelled as BT (broader term) and its reciprocal relationship of NT (narrower term). BT: Broader Term NT: Narrower Term UF: Use For Structure and display Hierarchical relationships This structure is reflected in the thesaurus as a hierarchical structure. The following abbreviations have been used in the thesaurus: "Broader Terms" represent more general concepts than "Narrower Terms", which are more specific terms. These are labelled as BT (broader term) and its reciprocal relationship of NT (narrower term).

Sedimentary landscapes including ancient, indurated and weathered landscape basin development resumed in the Cainozoic with the formation remnants, as well as young and dynamic, erosive and sedimentary of the Lake Eyre Basin in the north (Callen et al., 1995) and the landforms. It includes a complex landscape history closely related Murray Basin in the south (Brown and Stephenson, 1991; Rogers to the weathering, sedimentation and denudation histories of et al., 1995). Mesozoic sediments in the area of the Bancannia major Mesozoic and Cainozoic sedimentary basins and their Basin (Trough) have been traditionally considered as part of the hinterlands, as well as the impacts of climate change, eustacy, Eromanga Basin, which may have been joined to the Berri Basin tectonics, and anthropogenic activities. All this has taken place through this area. Cainozoic sediments in the Bancannia Basin across a vast array of bedrock types, including regolith-dominated have been previously described within the framework of the Lake areas extremely prospective for mineral exploration.

I beg to submit, for the information of the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer, my Report on the working of the Aborigines Department for the year ended 30th June, 1900, and on the general con- dition of the Aborigines throughout the State, as far as civilisation exists. The amount voted by Parliament last session for the carrying on of my duties was £8,000, which was £1,000 less than the amount voted the previous year, and also £1,000 less than the amount estimated by me to be required. The results were that, in spite of every effort on my part to keep expenditure down, at the end of the year an excess vote of £2,099 had to be asked for. I may say that, with the exception of two months of the year, the accounts had been kept by the Colonial Secretary's Departmental Accountant, and in a great measure this prevented me from having that close grip of the outgoings that I had previously when every account was kept in the Department, and this may in some way explain this large excess.

A total of 37 fish species were recorded in the 70 sites sampled. Twenty-three of these species are freshwater fishes (i.e. they complete their life-cycle in freshwater), the remainder being of estuarine or marine origin that may spend part of their life-cycle in freshwater. The number of freshwater species in the Fitzroy River is high by Australian standards. Three of the freshwater fish species recorded ar'e currently undescribed, and two have no formal common or scientific names, but do have Aboriginal names. Where possible, the English (common), scientific and Aboriginal names for the different speCIes of the river are given. This includes the Aboriginal names of the fish for the following five languages (Bunuba, Gooniyandi, Ngarinyin, Nyikina and Walmajarri) of the Fitzroy River Valley. The fish fauna of the river was shown to be significantly different between each of the lower, middle and upper reaches of the main channeL Furthermore, the smaller tributaries and the upper gorge country sites were significantly different to those in the main channel, while the major billabongs of the river had fish assemblages significantly different to all sites with the exception of the middle reaches of the river.
