Dean Hartwell provided significant technical support and assisted with the field collection during May 2009. Qifeng Ye provided overall management of staff for SARDI. Justin Costelloe from Melbourne University kindly provided access to hydrological data. The authors would like to thanks the landholders who generously provided field teams with access to field sites and assisted with the selection of sites, without their co-operation, this work would not be possible. In particular we would like to thank the owners, managers and staff from Allandale, Peake, Cowarie, Pandie Pandie, and Innamincka Stations. The work at Kalamurina Station was possible thanks to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy and their staff, in particular Tess and Mark. This work was carried out with the permission of the AWC. All work conducted in National or State reserves was covered under DEH Permit No. Y25128-4. 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current survey was initiated by the South Australian Arid Lands NRM Board (SAALNRMB) to assess the recovery of native fish populations from drought and identify key management and research requirements for protecting and enhancing these communities. Fish surveys were conducted in December 2008 and May 2009 across the three primary catchments in the South Australian section of the Lake Eyre Basin (LEB); the River Neales (including Peake Creek), the Warburton/Diamantina and Cooper Creek. Monitoring was based on the monitoring strategy outlined under the Lake Eyre Basin Rivers Assessment (LEBRA) program and included sites used for the 2007/08 pilot monitoring under that program. Pilot monitoring in 2007/08 identified extreme drought conditions across the SA section of the LEB, with many fish species restricted to very few, or single refuge waterholes within each catchment. Following the resumption of small, within channel flows during 2008, some species were able to recolonise the Neales catchment, whilst the majority of fishes continued to be confined to refuge water holes. Re- connectivity did not occur in the Warburton/Diamantina or Cooper Creek catchments and fishes remained confined to refuge waterholes. Some of these refugia contained very harsh water quality levels including salinities above sea-water and possessed accordingly few highly tolerant species. The effect of drought in the LEB therefore, was found to have left native fish populations in very high risk of catchment wide extinctions due to the reliance on very few harsh refuge habitats. If fish were unable to recolonise catchments successfully following subsequent periods of flow, then the SA LEB fish population may require significant and immediate management intervention. In December 2008, a survey was conducted across the River Neales catchment, but heavy storms prevented access to sites on the Diamantina/Warburton and Copper Creek. The Neales survey revealed that a second season of hydrological re- connectivity had failed to improve the distribution of native fishes across the catchment. As such, all but two out of seven native species (spangled perch and bony herring) remained at very high risk of drought related, localised extinction. With further rainfalls in the 2008/09 wet season, both the Neales and Warburton/Diamantina enjoying high levels of flow for extended periods for the first time since the onset of the drought. Subsequent re-sampling in May 2009 revealed 5 that this re-connectivity was adequate for providing re-colonisation for a wide range of species that were previously confined to high risk refuge pools. In the Neales, golden perch and desert rainbow fish and to a lesser degree Lake Eyre hardy head, were able to recolonise upstream into the wider catchment from Algebuckina waterhole, joining bony herring and spangled perch which had re-colonised earlier on smaller flows. In the Warburton/Diamantina, a wide range of species re-colonised in a downstream direction into reaches previously dominated by highly tolerant species in desert goby and Lake Eyre hardyhead.

Kowari Survey – Clifton Hills and Pandie Pandie Station December 2007 (Pedler & Read) 47 ii Summary: This paper reports on a presence/absence population status and distribution survey primarily for the Kowari (Dasycercus byrnei) in areas of known or likely habitat in Sturts Stony Desert, north-eastern South Australia. The survey was carried out between 27th August to 11th September 2007 on Mulka, Cowarie, Pandie Pandie, Innamincka and Cordillo Downs pastoral leases. The Kowari’s major habitat areas on Clifton Hills Pastoral Lease were not sampled as access was not approved by the property manager. Monitoring traplines followed typical Kowari survey standards with aluminium box/treadle traps (Elliott Type A) placed 100 metres apart on 10 kilometre long transects sampling ideal habitat over two trap-nights. The only variation from this standard was the pairing of traps at each station, one having bait specifically for Kowaris and other carnivorous species, the other baited for general sampling. Trapping was carried out at 6 locations over 12 nights with an approximate intensity of 400 trap-nights per sample.

  • 100 the SOUTH-WEST CORNER of QUEENSLAND. (By S
    100 THE SOUTH-WEST CORNER OF QUEENSLAND. (By S. E. PEARSON). (Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, August 27, 1937). On a clear day, looking westward across the channels of the Mulligan River from the gravelly tableland behind Annandale Homestead, in south­ western Queensland, one may discern a long low line of drift-top sandhills. Round more than half the skyline the rim of earth may be likened to the ocean. There is no break in any part of the horizon; not a landmark, not a tree. Should anyone chance to stand on those gravelly rises when the sun was peeping above the eastem skyline they would witness a scene that would carry the mind at once to the far-flung horizons of the Sahara. In the sunrise that western region is overhung by rose-tinted haze, and in the valleys lie the purple shadows that are peculiar to the waste places of the earth. Those naked, drift- top sanddunes beyond the Mulligan mark the limit of human occupation. Washed crimson by the rising sun they are set Kke gleaming fangs in the desert's jaws. The Explorers. The first white men to penetrate that line of sand- dunes, in south-western Queensland, were Captain Charles Sturt and his party, in September, 1845. They had crossed the stony country that lies between the Cooper and the Diamantina—afterwards known as Sturt's Stony Desert; and afterwards, by the way, occupied in 1880, as fair cattle-grazing country, by the Broad brothers of Sydney (Andrew and James) under the run name of Goyder's Lagoon—and the ex­ plorers actually crossed the latter watercourse with­ out knowing it to be a river, for in that vicinity Sturt describes it as "a great earthy plain." For forty miles one meets with black, sundried soil and dismal wilted polygonum bushes in a dry season, and forty miles of hock-deep mud, water, and flowering swamp-plants in a wet one.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Valuing Water: variability and the Lake Eyre Basin, central Australia Abstract 'Environmental values' form an increasingly important component of natural resource management, but use of the term 'value' is dominated by a narrow and limiting utility-based definition. In this paper I consider theories of value and practices of valuing water in the arid and semi-arid Lake Eyre Basin, central Australia. While value is the subject of diverse meanings - both within a range of academic disciplines and as understood by people in specific places - methods of aluingv water in natural resource management are limited by reductionism, anthropocentrism and cultural specificity. This conceptualisation of value does not adequately capture what people in the Lake Eyre Basin value about water. I propose valuing variability as a new framework for valuing water that embraces diversity, change and complexity, and emphasises interconnections between water, humans and the non-human world.
