  • Aqua Biology: The Australian Lungfish
    Australian lungfish
    The Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) is listed under the EPBC Act as vulnerable and a 
    recovery plan has been drafted (DCCEEW, 2017). 
    It is also a no-take species under the Fisheries Act 1994. The species was eligible for listing as vulnerable given (DotE, 2014): as a result of past changes to its core habitat, it is suspected that the recruitment to the adult breeding population has been, and is still, unsustainably low; and that the species is likely to undergo a substantial population reduction over the next three generations. 
    The species also has a limited geographic distribution that is precarious for its survival. Its area of occupancy is estimated to be less than 2,000 km2 and continued decline in quality and extent of spawning and nursery habitat is likely as further water infrastructure development occurs in this populated area of Queensland.
    The Australian lungfish is a large and elongated freshwater fish which can reach a maximum size of approximately 150 cm in length and 48 kg in weight. 
    The Australian lungfish is one of only six lungfish species in the world and is considered to be one of the oldest known extant vertebrate species.
    Diet
    Adult Australian lungfish are suctorial feeders and consume large amounts of material such as plant 
    matter and sand that they do not digest (Spencer, 1892). 
    Adults have crushing plates and, in captivity, 
    would eat fish, insect larvae, molluscs, tadpoles, crustaceans (such as Macrobrachium spp.) and 
    aquatic vegetation such as Vallisneria spp. and Hydrilla spp. making them low level benthic carnivore. 
    Juvenile and hatchling lungfish are active predators and consume small invertebrates such as tubifex worms and water fleas.
    The Australian lungfish are nocturnal foragers, with the ability to detect prey via electroreception 
    which allows lungfish to sense electric fields generated by prey. 
    Within Mary River adults have been noted to predominately forage within macrophyte beds in water less than 2 m deep. 
    Juveniles are 
    ambush predators using aquatic macrophytes as cover to catch prey.
    Habitat
    The Australian lungfish requires clear or turbid, low-flow or still, vegetated, shallow pools to support spawning and feeding.. 
    Macrophytes are essential for reproduction with submerged or emergent variants providing nesting surfaces for egg laying and 
    refuges for juveniles.
    Adult lungfish favour submerged logs, dense banks of aquatic vegetation, or underwater caves 
    formed by bed scouring under submerged logs. While lungfish can be found in both pools and riffles, their preferred habitats are pools of 3-10 m depth. In habitats such as these, they can often live in large groups.
    All lungfish under 500 mm in length collected by Brooks and Kind (2002) were caught in dense macrophyte growth favoured for spawning, suggesting that juveniles prefer the same habitat and are probably slow to disperse after hatching.

  • Qld Path To Trickery: Total Bullshit
    Kabi people reject this treaty
    Government agencies and public institutions will support the truth telling and treaty making process to facilitate access to records that help communities prepare for and engage in Treaty negotiations.
    Ms Atkinson said advocated now have a collective opportunity "to build awareness among all Queenslanders, to respect the idea of truth-telling and to recognise the impacts of colonisation on the First Nations peoples of this State, but also their resilience and strength".
    "It will be that resilience and strength that gets us through some hard conversations", she said.

  • The South American Bonyi Tribes with Graham Hancock
    At the time of Spanish arrival, the Araucanian Mapuche inhabited the valleys between the Itata and Toltén rivers.
    The Mapuche are a group of indigenous inhabitants of south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina, including parts of Patagonia
    Araucaria araucana, commonly called the monkey puzzle tree, monkey tail tree, piñonero, pewen or Chilean pine, is an evergreen tree growing to a trunk diameter of 1–1.5 m (3.3–4.9 ft) and a height of 30–40 m (98–131 ft). It is native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina.
    The South American lungfish, also known as the American mud-fish and scaly salamanderfish. is the single species of lungfish found in swamps and slow-moving waters of the Amazon, Paraguay, and lower Paraná River basins in South America

  • War in the Bonyi Scrub: Kabi Mob vs Widgee Squatters by Gilburri

    This is an account of the development of a tiny rural settlement in Queensland from the late 1840s when the squatter invasion was just beginning. During this period, the small settlement of Widgee Widgee developed from one of the last outposts of civilisation in the virtually unknown bush. Widgee, as the place is now called, is part of the Kilkivan Shire, and not the Widgee Shire which surrounds the town of Gympie.The township lies nestled in among spurs of the Great Divide about 20 kilometres west of Gympie. However, to begin this story, we must go back to the days before Gympie was even thought of, and when the settlements around Moreton Bay were very few.FIRST LEASES In 1842 when free settlers were allowed within the limits of the former convict settlement of Moreton Bay, they spread out in all directions from Brisbane Town. The South Burnett country was soon occupied and settlements such as Burrandowan, Taabinga, Tarong, Baramba and Nanango were established. As more squatters came, they followed the spread of settlement north-eastward, taking up all the good land in that direction, and so the promising Widgee Widgee country was discovered.29 pages.

From 1897 to 1904, Archibald Meston, first Protector of Aboriginals in Southern Queensland, removed 51 Badtjala people from Maryborough to Fraser Island (K’gari) to set up the Bogimbah Creek Mission as an experiment in segregation.
    Dr Foley’s book of the same name, Bogimbah Creek Mission: the First Aboriginal Experiment, was launched at the event by Associate Professor Sandra Phillips.
    Research Reveals is a talk series showcasing research projects of the 2020 Queensland Memory Awards fellows, residents and award winners. Gain a unique insight into Queensland history and the collections of the John Oxley Library in this series of fascinating talks.
