    WATERBORNE: Vietnamese Australians and River Environments in Vietnam and Sydney

    WATERBORNE: Vietnamese Australians and river environments in Vietnam and Sydney Transforming Cultures eJournal, Vol. 5 No 1 June 2010 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/TfC ! Allison Cadzow, Denis Byrne, Heather Goodall1 Abstract Vietnamese Australians who arrived in Australia as refugees since the 1970s and later as migrants, have developed complex relationships of remembering, knowing and belonging to environments in Vietnam and Sydney. Water was a frequent point of reference in our interviews with Vietnamese people in Sydney, and their relationships with water are used in this article to explore interviewees’ associations with places. The article focuses on cultural knowledge of environments, which people bring with them, such as their connections with rivers and oceans, central to both memories of place and the histories of Vietnam. These memories also change with return visits and experiences between these places. Vietnamese refugees’ experiences of escape and trauma coming across oceans from Vietnam also influence subsequent relationships with place. Finally, relationships with Sydney parks and urban waterways are explored by examining popular places for family and community get-togethers along Georges River, located near where many Sydney Vietnamese people live. These have become key places in making Sydney home for Vietnamese people. The article considers how Vietnamese Australian cultural knowledge of place could be shared and acknowledged by park managers and used in park interpretation. Introduction Vietnamese Australians who arrived in Australia as refugees since the 1970s and later Goodall as migrants, have developed complex relationships of remembering, knowing and belonging to environments in Vietnam and Sydney.

    7. Moorebank Hydrogeological Landscape MOOREBANK, CHIPPING NORTON, LOCALITIES GEORGES HALL, LANSDOWNE, FAIRFIELD EAST Land Salt Salinity Export TYPE AREA MOOREBANK Moderate Low GRID REFERENCE 297700 mE 6270000 mN (Z 56) Water EC GEOLOGY SHEET PENRITH 1:100 000 Low CONFIDENCE LEVEL MEDIUM O V E R V I E W The Moorebank Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) is characteristic of areas of Neogene (Pliocene) alluvial deposits contained within the floodplain of the Georges River, particularly around Chipping Norton Lake in the suburbs of Chipping Norton, Moorebank, Lansdowne, Georges Hall and Fairfield East. Landscape features typically include broad, flat alluvial plains, splays and levees which are intersected by present day drainage channels and narrow drainage lines. This HGL is distinguished from other areas within the Sydney Metropolitan CMA by its very flat, broad and low lying alluvial plain and slowed flow/ponding within the bend in the Georges River around the Chipping Norton Lake area. The bend in the river has allowed Tertiary Alluvium to form the very flat lying landscape. The Moorebank HGL is distinct from the Parramatta/Georges River HGL because of this terminal-like ponding of the river, and that it is not heavily influenced by acid sulfate soils which produce a different salinity signature. This HGL comprises Neogene Alluvium (clayey quartzose sand and clay under the Georges River as part of the old fluvial environment) with small areas of Hawkesbury Sandstone (medium to very coarse-grained sandstone, minor laminated mudstone and siltstone lenses), and Wianamatta Group Shales and Sandstone (Ashfield Shale which is dark-grey to black claystone-siltstone and fine sandstone-siltstone laminite, and some Bringelly shale which is shale, carbonaceous claystone, claystone, laminite, fine to medium-grained lithic sandstone, rare coal and tuff).
