Acknowledgement of the Traditional Owners of the Murray–Darling Basin The Murray–Darling Basin Authority acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Owners, and their Nations, of the Murray–Darling Basin, who have a deep cultural, social, environmental, spiritual and economic connection to their lands and waters. “ Our traditional management plan was don’t be greedy, don’t take any more than you need and respect everything around you. That’s the management plan — it’s such a simple management plan, but so hard for people to carry out.“ Tom Trevorrow, Ngarrindjeri Elder (2010) (photo and quote from Murrundi Ruwe Pangari Ringbalin (River Country Spirit Ceremony: Aboriginal perspectives on River Country) The Murray–Darling Basin Authority was deeply saddened to learn of Tom Trevorrow’s passing in early 2013. He will be remembered as a strong and inspirational Ngarrindjeri Elder and leader. Tom’s vision and ability to build relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people made him one of the Murray–Darling Basin’s most influential community leaders. Tom’s family have given us permission to continue to use his words and image.

  • By: Kylie Worrell
    By: Kylie Worrell This October is something else, which doesn’t seem too out of place given what’s happened in 2020 so far… but there are a couple things that are a bit unsettling and alarming, possibly, headed our way. Firstly, did you guys know there is another outbreak in China? According to CNN and other television broadcasting systems, there is an outbreak of a bacterial infection called “ Brucellosis”, after a leak in a biopharmaceutical factory back in 2019. This infection has affected thou- sands now, as it is livestock that normally carries Brucella, which means it could possibly be in the meat that is packaged and shipped over to the U.S.. Most say it is very much similar, if not the same as Mediterranean fever, which can cause fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, headaches and high fevers and sometimes these symp- toms never subside, they can swell the organs and it can lead to many complications including death. Human to human transmission is rare, but be careful around livestock and the meat you eat. https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/brucellosis-outbreak-china?amp=true https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/17/asia/china-brucellosis-outbreak-intl-hnk/index.html Next, do not panic! As we all know, election day is November 3rd, 2020. Ironically, there is an asteroid on course to collision, if not very close to collision, with us. As of now, NASA has not said much besides on twitter and local news sta- tions. National news stations have gotten word of this and have exploited it.
