they all had complaints about this arrangement 

#i need to give props to moby because he's the only one squished between two dogs from not his family #everyone else has a buddy #except gavin who has zero buddies and is frightened of life #gavin #miller #moby #harold #henry #dogs #budgie #pickle #rosie #gidgee

Was tempted to use this bit of tiger Myrtle for a fretboard. The sound is just phenomenal. But after rustling up a nice chunk of gidgee, the Myrtle will go nicely on @sam_buckley_music ‘s back braces. And a Huon pine stringer between the plates to bring in the aesthetics.

🔪 Pendant notre séjour à Charensat, nous avons rendu visite à Damien Richard, Forgeron coutelier, forgeron d'art, qui nous a très aimablement accueilli dans son atelier. Nous sommes repartis avec 3 couteaux de très grande qualité, entièrement fabriqués par Damien: ✨️ un Petit L'André avec manche Gidgee ✨️ un Petit L'André avec manche loupe de Séquoia stabilisé ✨️ un Côme, lame Damas œil d'Odin, manche mitres vieux fer Morta Merci à Damien @forge_des_combrailles pour son accueil et à bientôt ! 😁👍 #forge #couteau #auvergne (à Charensat, Auvergne, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCtACjsBXz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Part 3 is out on YouTube In the 3rd episode of our 2022 Simpson Desert 4wd adventure, we leave the Madigan line and explorer the Southern end of the Hay River Track. We spend the night at an old Indigenous Midden site, have a very close Dingo encounter, and Steve gets himself stuck on one of the Hay River dune crossings. We find a beautiful camp spot between the gidgee trees spoiled by inconsiderate low lives who cant dig holes for toilet paper and crap in sand.... I also have a look if On Track Meals are worth taking and go through Steves's Troop Carrier Set up.#. . . . . #alloffroad #simpsondesert #madiganline #escapeandexplore #discoveraustralia #exploringaustralia #northernterritory #seeaustralia #redcentre #planetearth #fantastic_earth #ig_australia #ig_down_under #pathslesstravelled #weareexplorers #spinifex #carpediem #sonya7iii (at Simpson Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjmnxXgJga0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A tale in the desert ecology skill drivers#

Frank A.S.K., Dickman C.R., Wardle G.M.Biodiversity and Environmental Change: monitoring, challenges and direction. Both of these were de-stocked and we are monitoring the changes in the biodiversity in response to these changes in land management. The study area also encompasses two of the properties that are managed by Bush Heritage Australia for conservation: Ethabuka Reserve and Cravens Peak Reserve. Further, because coping with increased extreme events while retaining efficient resource use is of great practical importance, this project will help to ensure that inland landscapes are managed productively. The low productivity dryland ecosystems are poorly known compared to mesic areas but still support substantial pastoral activity and support food production of the world. Why is this project important to both scientists and land managers? Lignum swamp ( Muehlenbeckia florulenta) – 1 plot.Eucalyptus coolabah swamp with emergent Corymbia terminalis – 1 plot.Eucalyptus coolabah open woodland ( Eucalyptus coolabah) – 2 plots.Blue mallee sparse woodlands ( Eucalyptus gamophylla) – 1 plot.Mulga woodlands ( Acacia aneura) – 2 plots.Georginae gidgee woodlands ( Acacia georginae) – 4 plots.Grevillea stenobotrya sparse shrubland with dense hummock understory – 1 plot.Spinifex hummock grasslands ( Triodia basedowii) – 3 plots in long unburnt (20+ years).The AusPlots on our study sites are within the Simpson-Strezlecki bioregion and encompass a broad range of vegetation types: Having this historical and contextual environmental data helps to place our results in a broad conceptual framework. This is allowing us to extend the spatial resolution of the temporal patterns we track across the study system.įinally, we have also been able to document the fire and grazing histories of the study site and model the 100- year changes in temperature and rainfall for the Simpson Desert region. Fourth, if funding is forthcoming, we will be extending this experimental work to encompass the western reaches of the Simpson Desert where there are another suite of AusPlots.įifth, we are also part of a Google Earth Engine collaboration with Stuart Phinn and Peter Scarth in TERN’s Auscover Facility and the University of Queensland, to link our plot-level changes to remotely sensed changes in vegetation fractional cover. Third, starting in 2015, we will also be undertaking experiments to determine the effects of droughts using the standard experimental protocols of the global Drought-Net. Secondly, since 2013, the desert ecology plot network has been part of the global Nutrient Network and together, with nearly 80 sites around the world, we are conducting an on-going manipulative experiment to identify and test the processes that underpin patterns of diversity and productivity in grasslands by adding different combinations of nutrients and by using fences to exclude large herbivores. Firstly, the desert ecology plot network has been monitoring changes in the flora and fauna for 25 years and this time-depth complements the larger spatial coverage of nearly 500 AusPlots within the rangelands of Australia. This exciting collaboration brings together work at a national and global scale. We will be remeasuring these AusPlots and synthesising the results with our own data to address pressing issues of increased environmental changes land-managers are facing.

A tale in the desert ecology skill drivers#

Our work combines long-term observations with manipulations to disentangle the multiple drivers of the system, including rainfall, fire, grazing and ferals. Here, Glenda shares some of the details of this collaboration and its benefits for everyone involved.īy co-locating 15 AusPlots within our 8000km2 study site in the Simpson Desert there is an unprecedented opportunity to detect and understand changes in productivity over space and time. Productivity and diversity of desert complex environments Glenda Wardle and Chris Dickman from the Desert Ecology Research Group (DERG), University of Sydney, and LTERN have been collaborating with AusPlots since 2014.

#A tale in the desert ecology skill

[enjoy-the-small-thingsxx]

When the shearing sheds are silent, and the stock camps fallen quiet

When the gidgee coals no longer glow across the outback night

And the bush is forced to hang a sign, 'gone broke and won't be back’

And spirits fear to find a way beyond the beaten track

When harvesters stand derelict upon the wind-swept plains

And brave hearts pin their hopes no more on chance of loving rains

When a hundred outback settlements are ghost towns overnight

When we've lost the drive and heart we had to once more see us right

When 'Pioneer' means a stereo and 'Digger' some backhoe

And the 'Outback' is behind the house. there's nowhere else to go

And 'Anzac' is a biscuit brand and probably foreign owned

And education really means brainwashed and neatly cloned

When you have to bake a loaf of bread to make a decent crust

And our heritage once enshrined in gold is crumbling to dust

And old folk pay their camping fees on land for which they fought

And fishing is a great escape; this is until you're caught

When you see our kids with Yankee caps and resentment in their eyes

And the soaring crime and hopeless hearts is no longer a surprise

When the name of RM Williams is a yuppie clothing brand

And not a product of our heritage that grew off the land

When offering a hand makes people think you'll amputate

And two dogs’ meeting in the street is what you call a ‘Mate'

When 'Political Correctness' has replaced all common sense

When you're forced to see it their way, there's no sitting on the fence

Yes, one day you might find yourself an outcast in this land

Perhaps your heart will tell you then, ' I should have made a stand’

Just go and ask the farmers that should remove all doubt

Then join the swelling ranks who say, ' Don't sell Australia out!’

Please keep this going - Australia is in real trouble!
